This is not only a massive buff to battleships, but also a death sentence to all mid tier cruisers depending on IFHE. That includes 7 premiums in the shop, 1 steel reward ship, 3 premiums not currently in the shop. The changes as presented are not balanced and should be reworked as the the price is too high for not enough gain. Instead of a general rework you should start looking at ship lines performing excessively with IFHE to identify the problems. Because nerfing both Italian cruisers to the ground with a global change is not a balanced approach.

I'm going to play on and off some coop and ops. Still have over 300 days premium. Not going to invest in the game more. I already have a boat load of ships to play. Don't need more.

I'm making the most of it. Spent all my gaming budget on the steam summer sale. Even the money set aside for the WoWS sale. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Let me just sum up how WG sees the reaction of their paying customers:

If this goes live a lot people are going to leave. This is beyond dumb. This is like making sure your core customer base gets alienated.

Read closely: Most of the participants are going to get much less.

Let's not forget what we got last year as summer "sale": 6 T8s, 7 BBs. No doubloon discount. As such events are planned in advance expect the same, but with other ships. I bet on Roma, Vanguard, Massachusetts (nah, she's too fun for a discount), Gascogne. Maybe a CV and Le Terible.

What? There is no end timer for the directives, save for the event end on the 22nd July. So only the 4th directive requires a 7 day run to the finish.

DoY is a good ship. It might have a bad rep due to reviews, but I must say it is comfortable to play and has enough benefits to be worth it. The main one is that it is a premium, it makes better silver and you can pop in any captain you want (I like to farm captain XP with Conq captain in it). The second is the Hydro, for a BB it is a blessing as nothing ruins your day faster than a spread of torps. The only serious drawback that will be left after the extra heal charge is added will be the reload. But don't forget that DoY has improved pen angles, so you can blap people with AP better than KGV. I'd say that DoY is a decent premium to have, not unique, but very solid overall.

That's a 3 day rental mate.

It's a horrible mode made by people who didn't realize that the battle royale train left the station last year. It's boring, brings nothing positive to table, and looks ugly as hell. WG has become lazy and cheap when it comes to events, they keep doing boring grinds.

The only problem I'm having with the minimap is that i can't see my flak auras anymore.

I give them 4 months and bet it will be steel or coal + money.

Could you keep your eyes open for a mod changing the display of AA range on the minimap to all auras and not only to long range?

After five games in the new mode I decided not to bother with the Benham. I have the Black already so it's not like I desperately need a T9 USN Premium DD. Following this I also decided not to spend any money on it. That's the Hill plus Boxes out of the equation. GJ WG I'm saving money.

This is not an improvement. Removing information from the game isn't making it better. At least give us the option to switch to the old mode.

After five games i realized two things: -This mode is boring. -WG doesn't deserve my money.

Of course not. What we will be getting is the same old as the last two years: -Two years ago the "grand finale" was a Tirpitz 30% off. -Last year we had 11 ships, and not even the most popular or interesting ones, marked down by 30%-50% for the most basic package. That's why Radar_X is gaslighting, to keep the plebs calm but not give them the truth. There will be no comparison in value between what Steam users get and what we will be offered.

Why the outrage? We all should by now know that WG doesn't care about us and our opinions. What we will get is the same sale like last year, with a joke of a selection and nothing extra like the Steam players get. And of course no full doubloon compensation. I love the game, I have nothing but contempt for the people making it for how they treat the customers.

Already answered on reddit: This sucks.

Sure, with the new AA damage application and fragile planes it will be fun. Just not for you.

I like the spider, it helps with firing when using the spotter plane. And I can't live without the double calculation for two speeds.

I would like to join this call and I'm not new to the game. I'd love to get some basic advice how to get better with carriers. Anything helps, from tips how to torp and bomb, to which skills are best taken in which order.

There are two buffs to AA planned. The first is certain, with the next patch the continuous AA damage will focus on one plane. Which means pre-dropping in the Saipan will be mandatory. The second is in the works, where the continuous damage starts being calculated several times per second. This is I think a fix to the long range AA being so bad on ships that before the rework had good long AA values (like Gneis, Atlanta, and PEF) and which now fare badly against planes. So no nerfs planned. As to the GZ. It is and remains garbage. It is a high skill, low reward ship that is player unfriendly and weak. I'm happy that I pulled it out of a crate for a fiver and not paid the idiotic price in the shop, it is a rip off to offer a T6 ship uptiered to T8 for 50€. It's planes are so bad that they can compete with no other T8 CV. And I'm saying that as a noob who only plays CVs in coop. I have better games in my T6 CVs than in the GZ. And don't get me started on the idiotic dive pattern...

Received the amount of steel as described , and also all other compensation items. Thank you.
