NothingButTheRain

This sums it up basically. I never had a chat ban and I'm at above 140 karma for a while now. Sometimes I loose my composure, but apparently some of the others in this thread are worse then I am without being honest about it. These topics are a repetitive thing and the cause seems to always be the same

But if these ships were to not be OP at all (or even weaker), then these ships would've seen a lot less play because usually ranked players don't like to play weaker ships for ranked. These ships could get played more because they simply win more. If they don't win, then they wouldn't have been played, right?

Perhaps this skill could be made more useful if it were to for example also increase the duration by 20% or so? And the reason why I think it may be the 'best' AA skill right now is more to do with how mediocre the other AA skills have become compared to how much points they cost since the rework was introduced.

What makes an online multiplayer game great for me is being able to communicate with people that I have an enjoyable time with and the least amount of toxicity and a good amount of sarcasm and humor. And being able to quickly add someone to my friendslist and (post battle) chat with someone who I met during a preceding battle without the ui locking up for several minutes, which means that the moment has gone now (they often don't remember me anymore or has already gone into another battle or gone offline, etc etc). If there's no fun in communicating with other fun and normal people online, then this takes a big chunk out of my motivation to play online games at all. I want the online game to facilitate me in having fun interactions with other players and the least amount of frustration because of them.

So what do you reckon is what tier 10 battles do need?

This patch I've almost exclusively picked the crates for 40 tokens and not received a single mission. These are all the event containers for this patch that I'm gonna get.

That's without the radar upgrade, right?

If you come up with stuff like this, I'm not even gonna bother responding to the rest of it.

Stalingrads main problem is its ridiculous radar. 12.5km for 42 seconds? It can park between 2 caps and light up both of them. These were my final moments in my last game This thing isn't spotted the whole time and it can simply click the radar button and I'm lit for 42 seconds with the only skill involved being how to aim which is something most players learn in tier 3 and below. Bourgogne cannot do stuff like this, but whenever the Stalingrad suspects a DD and pops radar, he gets a free kill or assist like this. My guns can't even shoot back as his radar has more range then my guns and my torps! Wheres the counterplay here? This was my second Fletcher game and my first also had a Stalingrad in the enemy team and was also a steamroll for that team as I dared not cap while the position of the stalingrad was unknown. Bourgogne has better guns and only 2k more health, but no radar and less speed. Stalingrad is a 42 second 12.5km monster running me down at 35 knots. I'd rather fight a Midway!!!!

Yes I don't play carrier exclusively and like to play all classes. Just had 4 random battles, the last 2 had an enemy Stalingrad and both games were steamrolls by the enemy. This SHITSHIP can park between 2 caps, pop radar and BOTH CAPS ARE LIT FOR FRACKING 42 SECONDS? I CANT EVEN SHOOT THE BLOODY SHIP BECAUSE MY GUNS DONT HAVE THE RANGE AND NEITHER DO MY FLETCHER TORPS FFS!!! WHERES THE COUNTERPLAY HERE??

Using 1 account to play and another to forum is really kinda confusing. Why would you even want this? Now I remember you not making your game account a secret or anything, but why use 2 separate accounts in the first place? Just wondering.

I don't see many DD players complain about those, so I guess these people get triggered whenever they see the word radar somewhere. Maybe we should just rename all radars in the game and give all of these hydro-radars the added ability to spot torps too!

Still a radar is a radar.

And one of the issues with both Bourgogne and Stalingrad is their accuracy. If one doesn't have one of these ships, no amount of skill can compensate for being able to land more of your shells were you want them. That's a major issue with some of these limited-access steel ships compared to what others can get. Accuracy is one of the most important balancing factors for wows, especially for the larger ships.

But if you would measure by players and not the ships, it would become impossible to balance ships. It is not very simple, but OP is really a basic definition with much more blurred details as balancing is very complicated with lots of guesswork to be done when there's little to no practical experience with the ships in question.

Also received one SC these last few days. I could use these camos as I'm running a bit low on ECXP lately

Maybe they forgot about it?

If you are having problems with your internet connection, then it's not your fault (or at least usually it isn't). But still, the game has no way of knowing whether you lost your connection or you (for whatever reason) jancked out your network cable on purpose or something. And besides, it's just 3 games of being pink, it's barely a big deal. But if your computer has a hard time running games, then you perhaps should start the troubleshooting process (especially if this turns out to become a recursive event).

It's not just CV grievers, but I have noticed a lot more AFK DD players in wows lately. And I'm not talking only about myself, one DD even went AFK (purposefully, in a corner!) on Flamuu's stream and was seen by at least a thousand people. And they don't do this in carrier games exclusively. Often it's because their team is supposedly stupid or something. Once it was a DD player that was so sure about himself that 'his' team was gonna loose, he went AFK and we managed to aaaalmost!!!! make it a win!!! ....if only that single DD player hadn't gona AFK then it would have been a win

This is the most sensible post I've seen you write so far on this forum, even though it's completely troll and 100% not true. Usually you just negrep people who aren't DD mains or you just overdo it. I had 4 notifications when I opened this forum this moring and all 4 were from you Anyway, I added you to my blocklist now since you usually don't have anything constructive to say anyway.

If you're including carriers from a year ago and are comparing these stats to now (hard to tell since you didn't provide a source), your deductions would kinda make sense. But it's hard to tell in any way if you're not providing a source.

Pretty close. But it's ruining the experience for a lot of the other players. I don't actually mind having a carrier in a game here and there, but there's just too many of them right now and it's ruining the gameplay of me and the people I have recruited (one went back to BF and another basically went back to WoT). Their main complaints were the large amount of (double) carrier games and the bad matchmaking in which they were bottom tier most games. Another one was the slow ui, but this is more my problem as I'm usually the div commander.

I don't think this is as bad as an idea as it may seem at first. Reliving Midway or other huge carrier battles in operations? I'm for it!

But didn't it also have radar? And isn't radar a very powerful anti-DD tool which is actually one of THE most complained game mechanics DD mains complain about?

I reall REALLY REALLY don't understand what's keeping the Italian navy in wows. It's been a more important navy then the Russian/soviet one when concerning the era this game takes place in, on equal footing with the French navy. So imo Italian everything should come soon (except aircraft carriers please). Personally I think adding basically ALL the russian lines (especially double DD lines) before even adding a single Italian line is a kick in the face to any naval enthousiast And there's enough stuff to do a BB/BC split for the RN and KM and enough material to fully split the USN and IJN BB lines. And enough to give the USN maybe up to 10 full DD or DE lines! and also some extra CV lines but lets just ignore that for now shall we? And of course we're still waiting for the subs!
