Because they are not in Randoms ... I mean we had this stupid excuse with CV rework as well before ....

That's interesting .... you can definitely do it for some patches from your side ...

Cossack B and Sims B were confirmed to be a bug ... the non-B variants do have ASW

I am not disputing that, there's not enough evidence either way and WG conditioned us to expect malice as the first step. However the argument about "not wanting to nerf premiums later" does not hold water as the pattern does not match with DDs ....

Well it looks like Subs will start at T6 and we'll ever only get the 3 tiers of them (6/8/10). Otherwise T4 DDs would have DCs now ...

well for some reason my T4 French DD does not have DCs either ... can T4 ships get into T6 matches ? I really don't know ....

Pity WG did not do a "Demount all upgrades" button as well ... after commander reset I went through all my ships and demounted on all except 4 ...

I have reset all my commanders and demounted upgrades from all but 4 ships ...

As was pointed out several times, WG added ASW armament to premium ships WITHOUT the nerf clause as well ...

Nope

Does not really compute. All OLD Premium DDs (except Okhotnik) got ASW capabilities ...

you talked about ingame model affecting the functionality (or lack of) ... which is the same. if the model does not have DC mortars the ship should not be able to deploy DCs that way. same as the model has no DC, it should not be able to deploy them at all .... there are precedents for the reverse (high caliber AA guns but no flak) ...

Many DDs had depth charges on slipways on the stern without mortars. Yet the animation of deploying the DCs is the same for every DD ....

Most premium DDs have ASW (with some outliers like Okhotnik), how do you justify THAT with your theory ?

for EU ? no ... on the 1y scale the numbers are clearly down even compared to last year ... the commander rework had some impact ....

check wotapi for player numbers ... you'll see something interesting ....

Nicely put ... +1

done, now to skill the one captain I want to use and manually demount all modules .... which means Grozovoi, Mikoyan, Kirov and Leningrad for the next few patches ....

You have a smart PC.

kept to ranked and ground French and EU DDs to T8 and RN, PA, IJN to T10, outside Ranked I basically only played the Khabarovsk. Basically I have reduced my played ships to the minimum to still progress some and I am playing less now ... Everything else is reset with demounted modules ....

ok so theoretically possible to do 6 missions in one class ... good ...

Can you expand on that ? what are the other 3 missions ? 2 for all ship classes, 4x class specific = 6 but then you state 8 missions in next sentence ... so there are 2 missions lost in the count ? the question is, can I do 6 missions single class ? if not I won't complete even the first stage ....

As was said some time ago by WG: AA was not designed to prevent the first strike but to reduce subsequent ones. Now we have a class of CVs that only do one strike ....

you know the 80/20 rule in software development ? 80% of the features cost 20% of total resources and the last 20% cost the remaining 80% ... that's where we are with the CV rework and Captain rework. The main features (80%) were done. Now the fine-tuning and fixing is the expensive part ... not enough ROI for them ... Expect this to be true with about any other feature they will develop ....

to give him credit, he has better torpedo hit rate than I do ... but that does not show really ...
