I saw a few of those when I was forced to play a cruiser because Dockyard directive 1 cannot be completed in DDs only ... 2 and 3 are fine with DDs only so far ... I think the rather insensitive way WG is trying to gouge money from players is causing this .... yes I get that class balance and variety and yadayada ... but DDs are the least played surface ship class (I don't include the floating airfields in this one).

My most played DDs have heals becasue WG gave them the heal long after I started playing them ... that's one thing you don't see in stats ... I do play Khaba regularly, Udaloi not so much anymore (I played most of the games there before it got the heal), Grozovoi heal is a joke as it suffers in other departments for that, so not really a help (I do freely admit I suck with that ship, I played it so much only to get the legendary). Leningrad does not have a heal ... Recently I switched to the Marceau instead of the Khaba, does not have heal nor smoke option but it is the better ship in the current meta .... tells you something, does it ?

You get a HEAL ! You get a HEAL ! You get a HEAL ! EVERYBODY GETS A HEAL !!!! erm sorry no ... the q in ranked is no indication for any changed in this regard. Go to T4/5 queues and you'll see more CVs than everybody else ... does that mean everybody should get DFAA ?

Khaba should have been like 2 points ....

They tested TRB Shima and deemed it too OP ...

You can angle against BB AP, you cannot angle towards bombs.

Because the STalingrad does not like AP bombs being a floating battery more than a ship. They nerfed the Haku and Venezia, 2 main threats.

And when will you start publishing ingame screenshots in Latin from tested features ? You know ... the articles about PTS and patch notes ... and upcoming features ... yes we understand your native language is Russian, but you are presenting this to a Latin reading audience ...

Erm now ... TBs were removed because they were free. you have to pay gold to create a clan.

The game was originally designed around surface ships with guns. CVs were added as an afterthought because people wanted them. The core gameplay is still only balanced around surface ships with guns. The game revolves around being in the correct position at the correct time without the enemy either knowing about it or being able to prevent you from getting into that position. CVs were always disruptive to that. However after the CV rework, the Halland is about the only semi-effective counter to CVs. And that is like a year and a half after the rework ... Since the CB scene is rather small, the top clans have quite a decent chance to influence some change so they are trying ...

I like the idea of the discount coupons for commanders. Or there could be special discount coupons that are better than what's available in the Armory. Universal permacamos ? HELL YEAH !!! RB points would be nice as well ..... most of the other stuff would just make the economy inflation worse ... 95% of my SCs are basic signals ... I think I got 25 Dragon signals from my last ... was nice but 25 games is not a lot ...

We don't have the numbers to compare how many CV vs nonCV matches were played in CBs etc ... WG will never release those anyway as it would spread speculation like wildfire ... But the top 20 clans are those that the peasant 500 look up to and want to reach their position (why play CBs otherwise?) .. so they have an influence ...

And now the competitive scene are telling them otherwise so what will they do ? You know, the actual target audience of CBs ... The usual problem with WG is they fight the symptoms and not the disease ... basically 95% of their balance changes is like that ... just look at the Kremlin ...

And the result was the Venezia nerf it seems ... interesting way to fix CVs ...

aaand that is important because ? karma is a useless feature just taking up database space and coding ... if there would be some achievement tied to it ... that would be nice ... but as it is now ... meh ...

So if you change something no other ship can use it is not a nerf to that one ship ? interesting ....

I had to switch class for the 1st directive, was not possible to do with DDs alone ... 2nd one luckily I have the Z-39 so no issue there ... still working on that one ...

Incorrect, DM UU was changed.

still the point is valid about both statements ... you cannot angle the deck and getting GZ AP bombers to work is not trivial ...

again WG working on the symptom and not the cause/disease ... AP bombs are an issue because YOU CANNOT ANGLE YOUR DECK !!! Just look at the GZ and how useless that one is with the bombs because they are dropped from the side and not from top ... so you can effectively angle towards them ...

USN DD DFAA buff ? Why only for silver ships ? Why no buff for RU DDs ? Engine boost mod NERF ??? WHY ??? Simply make that module not available for French DDs and problem solved.

the german low tier DDs with forward launching torps :-) hilarious ...

RNGesus giveth, RNGesus taketh ... that's all I can say ... I watched Flambass' stream where the shells from one of his triple gun turrets when all cross-eyed, two shells went straight and the rightmost shell went to the next map on the LEFT. FLambass was like WTH ??? How is that possible ? So your experience is quite normal I would say ....

While this is logical and I can fully accept such a point of view, there are 2 things: 1. Many people (even those posting on these forums) are not aware of their stats 2. "Your opinion does not not count because your stat's are bad" or the corollary: "Your opinion is not valid because you don't play/don't have enough games/good enough stats in the ship/class". It's the usage that matters, not the stats themselves. So my stats being public does not mean you can use them to invalidate my opinion in a discussion just because I don't play that particular class ... and similar ...

smoke firing penalty when you are outside of smoke but the smoke is between you and some enemy ships works (or should work) exactly like that ... smoke limits the visibility only on the side where it is and not on the free sides ... if that is too hard to grasp I don't see the reason that was implemented either :-))
