The original secondary module gives range bonus so this is a pretty big nerf for secondary builds ....

sooo ... 1. Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 - secondary range NERF ??? 2. Ship's consumables Modification 1 - does this apply to all of them ? even heals and radars ? Will radar duration be nerfed to compensate as this stacks with the radar upgrade ? We definitely do not need more radar in the game, EDIT: French speed boost ? MBRB ??? Seriously this needs to be scraped ... too much negative impact ... 3. Torpedo tubes Modification 1 - So free TA without drawbacks ? seriously ? 4. Torpedo protection system - severe nerf to DW torps and any slow moving torps (Black anyone ?) All in all, there are like 2 straight good upgrades, then a lot of things that will heavily upset the meta in a bad way ... basically Manouverability systems is the only one without any negative effects I see on the list ... Overall, not impressed ...

Well 0.9.2 coincides with my new gaming laptop arrival ... so back to EVE Online for me after that :-) they seem to value my money more ...

I would be nice to get a self-sufficient article from WG once in a while. 1. Dates for the directives END are in the article but 0.9.0 patch date is nowhere to be found (a link to the patch article would be sufficient, oh wait, it does not exist). 2. Directive description is not in the article yet it states they can be checked in the client ... at the date of publication they cannot .... 3. Why are the British tokens so cheap all of a sudden ? The previous ones were 22500 credits, now only 4500 ? Was this published by mistake ahead of time ? Seriously, can't you even do webpage articles properly anymore ?

because firing without target lock is accurate and could hurt the DD ... oh wait ... and AP is not affected by this anyway so poor RN cruisers don't need that protection ? they do have citadels after all ... these excuses are getting tiring ... instead of thinking about a proper solution WG does a cop-out workaround just to save money ...

The we could revert back the smoke firing change ??? That would be golden ...

This is WG you are talking about .... they don't give a flying f..k

Aaaaah that's what I do wrong in my gunboats ... thank you, you have just increased my survivability ....

IDK ... DDs were hit hard, AA spec became obsolete, MM got screwed in a way (you are more likely to get a CV game since they reduced tiers) ... counterplay is non-existent while the skill gap is still there so if you get a potato CV you're screwed .... sure it looks prettier now ...

Because I don't have the Kleber yet :-) No seriously I fell in love with the ship ever since I got it. I don't play it well, but I still like it when things click into place ... it's kinda the same attraction as TRB IJN boats ... highly risky but if they work the results are spectacular ...

You stated it yourself, they gave priority to submarines over CVs after they realized they have no clue what to do there. Also the rework goals were all wrong ... garbage in, garbage out and that's what we got ....

Khaba is still good, just much harder to play than Kleber ...

so basically the "How it works!" video WG released last year about HP does not apply to them ? Typical WG ...

they don't care about CV players since about introduction ... it may look like the CV rework was for them but actually no ...

Problem is game day ends 5am on EU (maybe same for all) ... so the offset is 17 hours to regular time .... However the main problem here is that multiple parts of the same event don't have the same end dates/times ....

I have a lot of doubt that Khaba build actually works ... without AFT and with full rudder build he has no free engagement envelope ... Khaba base range is 11.2km (I do believe that's the lowest gun range of any T10 DD, or any DD above T8 actually )... with the speed the ship is capable of, he's out of his engagement range constantly and any decent cruiser like Moskva/Zao/Stalingrad/Henry will constantly nail him ... or there are really incompetent cruiser players on NA. With Legendary mod he loses too much rudder and gains too little range to offset this ... He/She can possibly kite in and out of range, but the Khaba in any configuration is difficult to turn around.

same here ... CV changes caused us to stick to our team more and basically neutered any gameplay potential since DDs have the least effective range of all classes, usually at or outranged by even Radar ...

He's right, all of them ... The only exceptions are Udaloi to Grozovoi and Z-46 to Z-52. First one is a change in playstyle (basically Udaloi does not fit the line), the other is basically identical. Other than that, the T9 is better ...

Me ? I do that ... I frequently end games where I have more spotting than actual damage ... That's the role of the DD (if not CVs are present). Sucks that the XP and credit income does not reflect that properly but anyway ... Just look at my Khabarovsk stats ... I support my DDs, I do cap when possible, I got for damage farming if nothing else is available ... Now compare with pure damage farmers ... Yes I am playing the ship wrong ...

Is this a trick question ?

Well I have created a new account recently (clan admin character) and the New Player Experience is the same as 3 years ago when I started this dude ... so much for that ... without YT and Twitch I'd be a 40% winrate player ...

Wanted to get the Gorizia, but then I realized I don't have the ships to do it effectively, so I lot interest. Got all the snowflakes I cared about, got 90 days of premium from DOckyard crate and W.Virgian from Santa crate. Overall I played a lot less than I wanted to due to initial PR disaster ... really put me off ...

well that approach will kill the game in short time ... so I doubt WG does not care ... but they are not really good at making the game enjoyable for all levels of player ...

simple ... the rest of the team not pushing with them or not supporting them when needed ... happens to me the majority of my games ... hence I don't cap when not needed and I go my selfish way hunting battleships ...

I am in a similar position, however the point was not to play solo ... not being in a clan solo ...
