    Except that is not what I said. If you want to go out and quote me, actually quote me:
    "You're welcome to discuss any ships in the wows channels or forum channels - right now we don't have specific class fora but we might do so in the future if it looks like there is need and want for it.
    We've already expanded our forum section here on discord and simply want to see now how it goes in the first few days/weeks.

    Every regional discord is different and tailored to the needs and wants of the community there - if we see the same here, we'll do that here too"

     

    We're not opposed to doing so, but right now we want to see the level of activity on the newly created discord forums and not to overwhelm our moderation team with a ton of new channels right away.

    What I posted was the core of your statement. And if your main discord channel doesn't have enough mods to handle it, then why does the Polish have a massive section with all ships listed as separate topics?

    Are the Poles more competent? Or is the EN staff too lazy?

    So when will you organise these discord forums properly? In the next 72 hours? Or will it remain the giant chaos, that you can't properly navigate, that it currently is?

    That's the idea. Less work for them. And we will see how quickly it becomes worse as the EN Discord is just a joke.

    For example, there is no ship specific section. Everything is  just a worthless chat.

    Panowie, na discordzie zasadnicza narracja nie różni się od tej na forum. Argument że jest to krok by uciszyć krytykę jest więc nie trafiony.

    Decyzja została podjęta po dłuższych rozważaniach i wynika ze spadającej aktywności na forach w ogóle.

    Jest to rozwiązanie bolesne, ale docelowo pozwoli się skupić na innych platformach, głównie na discordzie.

    Tylko że na discordzie łatwiej jest utopić krytykę, bo to czat a nie forum i ludzie nie piszą większych postów. Poziom dyskusji jest też niższy.

    A aktywność spada bo ludzie odchodzą, a nie że forum jest niepopularne.

    Docelowo WG usunie cały aktualny zespół społecznościowy, gdy scalą servery bo spada populacja w grze.

     

    Dobrze że reddit jest "prywatny", przynajmniej tam będzie dalej można pogadać.

    o, it just means our CMs will spend more time on other platforms like Discord to provide a better support and experience there.

    Yeah, the issue is the rules of your discord forbid pinging staff:

     

    Quote

    Pinging Keep pinging to a minimum and do not ping roles. Pinging staff members is strictly forbidden.

    Don't send unsolicited DMs to WG staff We love to talk to you, but if the team feels like they are getting spammed, they may stop showing up.

     

    So you will be providing no support, because you can just ban people who have issues and ignore DMs.

     

    You're a bad liar.

    These newcomers are artillery destroyers that primarily rely on their main battery guns in battle. The guns only fire HE shells and have significant damage per salvo.

    They are the worst gunboats in the game, and at tiers 5-7 aren't even gunboats at all.

     

    The tier 5, Muavenet, is a copy paste of Acasta, minus torpedo launcher. It has the same anemic guns with bad ballistics as Acasta.

    Both Podvoisky and Jaguar have better guns, with an HE salvo of 9500, compared to 6800on Muavenet. The DPM of Muavenet also isn't that great.

     

    The trend continues with T6, Stord. Lower HE alpha than Gnevny and Guepard. Lower range and comparable DPM.

    Guepard has better torps too. While Gnevny has better concealment. Both have better HP pool than Stord.

     

    And to finish it off, the garbage scow, the Grom at T7. You took Blyskawica, beaten it with a nerf hammer, and pushed this abomination out.

    At least you didn't nerf the health. On paper it has good alpha and DPM, until you realize that POS has less range than Stord, at a tier higher.

    It has less torpedo DPM than Stord, in fact it has less torps than Stord. Why? Why did you make it so bad?

     

    Those mid tier ships are a joke, a bad and unfunny one too. And you say it's a gunboat line. It's just missing the guns.

    Whoever designed those ships needs to find a different job.

    Question is how these scam accounts can post on the forum despite not having played the required 50 (?) battles, or is this no longer valid?

    Aaand now I fear the forum has been hacked, as it is still a requirement...

    The "problem" is that WG in their infinity wisdom tend to "delay" line specifc gimmicks until very late in the most lines, leaving you with virtually nothing to learn to play the line in mid tier while simultaneously turning T10 into an OP snipshow.

    And that's an issue with many of the lines that get "strong" gimmicks like radar. German DDs get their gimmicks at T5 (improved HE pen and hydro)  which compensates for the shorter smokes.

    EU trashboats don't get anything until T8. Spilt gets higher caliber guns and radar, everyone below gets nothing but drawbacks.

     

    WG should rework the T5-T6 to work like standard DDs instead of making the ships weaksauce.

    Tier V and VI are indeed boring. Grom is ok, since she is close to Blyska, only the shorter torp range is annoying.

    Grom is not ok, it's currently the worst T7 DD.Compared to out of the box Blyska it has:

    -Less range (over 1km).

    -No AP.

    -Slower torpedo reload.

    -Weaker torpedoes.

    -Less torpedo range.

    -The only thing better is torpedo speed.

    Everything else is almost identical, which isn't a good sign, as it means Grom has no advantages at all.

     

    I'd rather play Z-31. That ship has gotten much better.

    Why? Since the economy rework those crates *might* drop a perma camo but with no perma-bonus they're ...

    I have very positive experiences with those boxes. After an initial bad run, I have been receiving some very nice camos. And I like nice perma camos.

    Do it in coop? Tbh I had only handful of games so far, and they certainly lack a punch, but their guns are decent and can take on almost any DD with no issues. Quite hard to play, often frustrating, but playable. 

    I would like to see Ferdi in game as well, but I think they should leave Grom as it is and change Blyska to her mod version (1943). 

    They are a pain even in coop. And you can't change Blyska, it's one of the old premiums, they can't be nerfed or changed due to how the sales contract works (no disclaimer for balancing).

    Gdansk is borderline OP

    Gdansk is not a mid tier ship. :cap_tea:

    I find the way WG clowns around and only makes the T10 playable stupid.

    Bruh zone thread

     

    I heard from others that the T5-T7 are quite the stinkers, since I never played them due to early access skip, but Split is pretty decent as a T8 DD, despite the competition. I am playing her in Concealed Maneuvers and she does pretty well against almost anything. Sure you cant 1v1 a Fantasque, Kidd or Cossack, but clever use of consumables, your team, etc. yield quite the results, already 100k in with green bosters. I hope the T9 will be somewhere between Split and D A N Z I G, which I also heard a lot about, nearly exclusively positive and borderline OP in division play.

     

    Just throw some Free-XP at the mid tiers and grind the missions T8 plus. Common practice of WG to realease yikes lines with a strong T10, maybe a hidden gem down the line but they want people to be active during early access events, aka all the time or invest Free-XP to skip atrocious grinds with some dangling T10 carrot.

    The T5-7 are in my opinuion the worst DDs in the game, save for some exceptions (Chinese John Wayne for example).

    You can't throw fXP at a mission requiring you to play mid tier EU DDs. I'm already at the T9, I grabbed the T5-7 during early access and forgot about them. But now I see how bad they are.

    Ah, I just saw @Aragathor grinding out Grom in a Co-op game. Hope you're making progress! 

     

    I have to say I like Stord, but Muavenet is *waful* and possibly the worst DD I've played.... looks like an inconsistent line. There were much better choices at Tiers V and VII, not sure what WG were up to there.

    Sorry that I haven't seen you. I'm trying to get out of playing them as fast as possible.

    Muavenet is a nerfed Acasta. Literally.

    I tried.

     

    YOu need days to gain 45.000 base XP. And the Fire damage is almost impossible in Co-Op thanks to a low chance of fire (9%) and the fact that everybody is gunning at the same ships because there are more missions at the same time.

     

    Result: 3 battles with Grom and Stord: 1.500 fire damage... So I would have to do 100 battles more

    I am not looking forward to that part, but I am trying to speed run the other parts of the mission to have time for it.

    Split and Gdansk are the best two out of the line. They are both great ships and as Mr Bear says the Tier X is borderline OP.

    Yeah, but tiers 8-10 are not mid tiers. My issue is with how WG bungled the mid tiers.

    Been trying to complete the EU DD mission to get the Distant Voyages box. It has been nothing but pain.

    These ships at mid tiers are hot garbage. They have nothing to offer compared to other lines. Especially Grom, it's a neutered Blyskawica with no advantages.

    They aren't gunboats, they aren't torpedoboats, they aren't gimmicky.

     

    What a waste of a line. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

     

    PS: They should have put the Regele Ferdinand at tier 7.

    PPS: It's about the mid tiers people, tiers 5 to 7. I don't care how awesome Gdansk is.

     I don't think anyone complained that they could make other players perform better in operations than in the other battle modes.. potential damage.. you think you do more in operations than in random..?.. but you are always upside down when you do something in updates.. who gives you these super bad ideas..?

    First, this is the wrong topic for this.

     

    Second, this aren't the droids you're looking for.  The change only affected mission types previously not available in ops, the numbers grind (all types of XP and silver) remains unchanged at 100% of contribution.

    So you can now play ops and still complete kill missions, damage missions, etc. It's just reduced by 50%. Not a bad thing at all.

    The compensation will be in Community Tokens (30k Community Tokens) since we've considered this to be more fitting to the theme of Drops instead of credits.

    I noticed this is also the case for the early access Spanish event duplicates. Instead of a pittance in dubs or silver duplicates drop event tokens. Big fan of that.

    Please read that sentence carefully:

    Starting from Tier VII, the alternative firing mode—Burst Fire—is available to the ships; the ballistics become flat-trajectory; and the armor-penetration capabilities of their AP shells improve.

     

    Which means, that starting from tier VII they have access to Burst Fire and also their balistics become flat-trajectory and also AP pen is improved. Flat trajectory and AP pen boost is tied to the ship, not to the burst fire. 

    I've read it in English, Polish, and German. It keeps saying the same thing.

    Plus Teamkrado is calling you out on it on YT.
