Yes, but if you go back, one guy was saying that it would get worse, see here: There is no stealth AA CURRENTLY on Neptune and Minotaur. So we told him, he was wrong. And you jumped in, because we were talking about something else After the update, they will be unspotted by the time you fly into their AA range yes. But its simply wrong what the other guy said.

So you cant spot a Minotaur with 7,4km air detection outside his 6,9km AA range ?

So if someone wants to play CV, he cant press "battle" with the notification: "Sorry, there have been too many games with CVs today, please try again tomorrow" But seriously, if people want to play CVs, you cant stop them from doing so, and MM has to put them somewhere.

Its not like anything happened... you are pink for 2 games. Play the games like you normaly would and everything will be back to normal

So if i say "everytime a DD is lowtier, he will always be last in XP table" you cant dismiss that with one screenshot where a lowtier DD is not last place? Not saying that it happened like that here, but i think you understand where im going at. You jumped into an arguement of 2 people and probably didnt understand what was said before. The initial arguement he posted the screenshot to did have no proof whatsoever...

They didnt see your stats.... yet Guess they saw your midway stats tho, and we see why they nerfed it

Ive pretty much only played them after the first hotfix. Only playing Midway/Haku in Coop the first day to get my Steel. Im not keen to play them in randoms yet, because i dont like to be Human Guinea Pig for WG So basicly i only play T6 CVs in OPs. But i just assume, that WG is nerfing Midway TBs precisely because people were using them after Haku nerf (which you think yourself). And WG is being stupid as always, since they are reworking the flooding mechanic at the same time Just doesnt make any sense really, its like trying to balance a mechanic which you are know is being changed in the near future. Hard to tell really, feels like a 50% chance right now for me personaly, and i usually [edited]atleast 1 drop up out of 3 by being overly greedy^^ Maybe getting better drops in might paint a clearer picture, but i know its not guaranteed really. But half the time i manage to get a permaflood on a BB with Ryujo.

Then dont make claims like these please

Stealth AA sounds like you arent getting detected while using AA, which ofc is not true. Also as i said, im not sure if its the right way to do it, personaly i would have taken a different approach. Doesnt change that there was a problem with spotting the entire team within the first minute of playing. Kinda... yes thats what i meant. Im just saying that i thought it would happen (hey, others called that one out BEFORE they announced it, and got flamed for that^^). Its clear where they are going with CVs, Haku nerf showed that. Midway was performing much better than Haku, and they didnt show any intentions to buff Haku -> Midway gets a nerf aswell. Logical imo Well, many people (myself included) have said that the reworked CV gameplay is rather boring when they first saw it. Making them fun to play is making them OP -> that wont happen. So WG shot themselves in the foot with the rework, said it several times by now... See above, i would have also taken a different approach to the spotting problem, but they went with this so... i dont even care anymore because the game and forums are one big shitshow since the rework, well done WG Except you still have 2 other type of planes?! Its not like YY nerf where they slashed the reload from guns AND torps at the same time. So 20% for torp bombers yes, but not overall damage. Unless everyone was using TBs only, then the nerf is totaly in line. I think its also clear, that WG WANTS the players to use all types of planes - not only one. Probably Midway TBs were the way to go, because of permafloods.

Ehm... T8+T10 CV in one game?

Yeah, CVs are unplayable again I think these days, if the words "CV" and "changes" are together in one sentence, most people are going into rage mode... - Rockets arent retard proof anymore. compared to others, i felt they were too easy to use. - Reduced air detectability -> something had to be done. If thats the right way? Hard to say. - Fighters get buffed -> they were a joke anyway - Midway gets a slight nerf -> to be expected really - Enterprise gets buffed ! RN CVs gets nerfed: 1. why would anyone care? They are WiP... 2. They were overperforming by just looking at it.

So isnt it counter productive to play OP ships You sure can have fun in those, but will it teach you anything valuable for grinding the normal silver ships? Not too much i guess.

I havent heard anything about CBs being only on weekends, can you show me the link where they said that?

But you dont have to play as a clan in Naval Battles. The entire clan participates, but every individual is playing on its own. So if you cant play at weekends, neither you nor your clan is losing too much, unless your clan is really small. Every player has a limited amount of tries to reach the required XP to move on to the next Nation/Class stage. Has nothing to do with playing as a Clan.

Yup, thats what im thinking aswell. Most players simply didnt like CVs because they were RTS (i feel validated because we see many forumites speaking for CVs which before never opened their mouth...) CV population was far too low to sell enough premiums, so they needed to make it more accessable for every player. Seems succesful when looking at CV players before and after rework Whether that stays like that or not is a different question ofc.

Or start your attack run before you spot the DD? You could spot him, turn around and then attack since you then know where he is. Or maybe use RPF and dont necessarily spot him in advance

Something id like to add: You need caliber/6 armor thickness to arm the shell. So if we look at Musashis 460mm guns, you need 77mm or plating to fuse your shell. If you only hit a thinner plating, it wont fuse, so it will always be overpenetrating. Ofc impact angle will influence that, as 25mm plating (like Seattle has), will only be 25mm thick at a 90° angle. Seattles Citadel armor belt is thick enough to fuse Musashi shells (127mm afaik). But seattle is a rather thin ship, so it might be possible to overpenetrate the citadel, because there is a delay in which the shell detonates, which is usually 0,33 seconds for majority of ships. So if the shell velocity is too fast and the ship is very small, you might experience citadel overpens aswell (usually only if you are very close - otherwise shell velocity is not high enough). But if you hit the water, its also possible to get citadels at close range, the water is slowing down the shell.

(Ive had GK for a couple of months already, and this is the 3rd build - works best so far) Can even use the secondaries again because i can play much more aggressive I just bullied the enemy GK/FDG/Bismarck/Salem Forlorn was like "dont die there" when i pushed through C into the enemy spawn. Well, i did die, but the enemies lost 4 in the process, and i think Forlorn had almost same damage as I in his Mino - he could just farm them because they were busy with me Cancerdivision with GK?

You can always join @ForlornSailor and me

Getting better while not raging? Sounds awesome Maybe i can get better too, ask @ForlornSailor about my raging

Its actually worse than KGV, but pssht

Thats why you have to play in a division, just an example from not too long ago: We played 3x division BB/CA/DD T7. We had a good advantage early on, and it was Standard Battle. Suddenly our team goes like "must win harder" and they start yoloing 1 by 1. Suddenly we were 4vs7, but the 4th was actually AFK, so it was only 3vs7. We still won it, because the enemies were really bad. So if it werent for us, it would have been a loss, only 3 guys could save this, by playing smart and well together.

What? Ok, so you did better than the enemy CV, so you demand to win. What if in a 1 DD game, the losing sides DD is top XP earner and on the winning team are you and lets say you detonated right at the start of the game (this is hypotetical). Would you say "Ah screw the what the other 22! players did in the game, the enemy DD did better than I, so they deserve to win" Where does it end? Can a BB demand the same? Or a Cruiser? Or arent they allowed to demand that since there are several of them in one match, and only CV can claim that? GK -> ive had a worse WR than you, while dealing more damage... thats even playing WITH divisions most of the time. Im just moving out of that whole. crap happens, even when playing divisions. So if you play solo, crap will happen MUCH more often, since you just cant have that much influence. Worcester / Lexi -> same, your sample size is just not high enough. *tinfoil hat on* sometimes i feel, that you get those ships you will win even you play badly, and on the other hand you have ships that you can have godlike results and you will still lose. Ive had those ships aswell, but at around ~30 games it starts to become normal. Like the GK, first 20-30 games were absolute horror, but after that i started to win while doing the same stuff. Had some other ships like that aswell (Fuso, Nagato). NC is the other spectrum, ive had some awesome games which i won, but my worst game was like 6k damage only and i won that aswell Sometimes you just win *tinfoil hat off* Sure it does make sense. There are only half the players in Ranked than in random, so your personal contribution matters much more. Also, since you arent playing that much ranked, you are mostly playing in the lower ranks where worse players are. Sure you should beat those. (i wouldnt even think about Ranked sprint tho... that didnt mean much imo) 1. Yes, it should be necessary to play in divisions if you want to win more. 3 guys have more influence on the game than 1, because if they are good, thats the obvious reason, and ofc because they play together. 2. I havent judged you on damage farming - others did and its always a possibility because we dont know that. But its a possibility. 3. If you are raging at your division mates, i rather pass In response to your first sentence -> go look for another clan then? But if you are raging that much, noone will want to play with you (if you blame them that is).

I sometimes think that about the 9 random idiots on my team when our 3x division is hardcarrying their asses to a victory Having 300-400k damage and like11 kills with 3 guys you start to think "Wtf are those **** doing?" Do they deserve a win? Certainly not... cant change that however. How to change your WR? Ive told you several times, but you dont seem to get it -> This. You win more, you have more fun playing together. I cant understand why you arent doing it? Atleast we wouldnt need to read your rage/whine threads once in a while Ever thought that you reached your skill ceiling? You are constantly bouncing around ~56,x%WR. Despite you claiming you are losing all the time, you are still winning more than half (you arent losing WR really). Also i dont think your damage numbers on T10 arent justifying a much higher WR - just saying. T10 is dragging you down. A lot of people have told you what you can change -> you ignore it. You are focusing on high damage games which you lost. Its actually quite likely to lose a game where you deal tons of damage if its a slow but steady process to lose. Ive had many 200k+ games which i lost (including my best damage game so far). Play in a division, and you can win those games, but you will deal less damage eventually.

Detonations are possible if the target has less than 75% of his maximum health. Doesnt matter what max damage the shell/torp has. You can even detonate something without hitting the target - HE splash can penetrate the hull and detonate the magazine! (i have screenshots, but would take ages to find: Orion without hitting the target detonated a Cruiser, and ive seen screenshots here in the forums from CV bombs detonating ships without hitting them aswell) And yes, if you have the Flag which removes detonations, you CAN NOT detonate. Maybe you ran out of them and didnt use it anymore?
