Or you know, as we aren't WG we should accept that it's on them to do it? of course we can. Just choose some pepega ships that is called your favorites and fail with them because power creep. No need to change what is working fine

I'm not forbidding anyone from stating their opinions. and water is wet. People who don't have fun always have the option to just stop playing. You can do that as it is allowed to bring new ships and try out for new metas. Don't see the issue. Just ask for a new mode then?

It's really difficult atm. The strat of that one Clan is so effective that it will likely be adapted very soon by more clans. We have yet to find a true counter besides making risky plays and obviously risky plays are... eh. you know :D Atm it all looks like it will be full petro, Ohio MVR/Haku for meta

I don't know where you get the idea from that I'm mad? Just stating my opinion. It's about the KOTS bans. How can you even get this consensus by not playing? Just adapting the opinion of others? You agree with them that it must be the case because it sounds reasonable to you? If you want to treat this game as less than competetive that's your choice. But there are players and my clan has them that treat this game as if it was competetive and we don't make stops or search for excuses like CVs in our performance or meta choices. We play and we play around what WG gives. No need for randomizers or arbitrary shakeup to please the fun crowd. If it's not fun for you make your own community events like KOTS or something

With static Petros it deals well. You will see what I mean when you explore the current meta a little bit more and why Hindenburg might... not be a good pick against a certain clan who perfected using Petros pretty much.

It's not about what I think is competetive but what WG wants it to be. WG obviously goes the route of making CBs appear competetive. If it's in your opinion that it's not possible then so be it. But that simply doesn't matter what you think on the issue. You aren't shaping the game after all. Why isn't randomizer needed for KOTS? They try to be as competetive as can get even banning Ships (they didn't ban puerto or smolensk because OP) because not everyone can aquire them anymore which is very sensible for competetive. And yet you are here claiming it isn't? You aren't even part of the scene barney why try to have an opinion on things you are not even part of?

A competetive mode doesn't need randomizer... the point of competetive play is to create metas, develop metas and progression in choices MADE BY PLAYERS. Randomizer do not belong to competetive scenes and in no game taking itself seriously has a randomizer even been needed. If you want to play for fun don't play CBs. CBs is not the place to have a happy sail around in your pepega Zao when Petro is just infinetly better and more broken.

Says you who puts Smalland and Halland equally. Those won't really be all to good as they promote static play which was destroyed by more mobile play in kots as an example. Republique and Bourgogne have to squishy armor. It's likely that Ohio and Kreml will just keep staying meta together with Petro because of all the advantages they bring currently.

Smalland has worse torps, great speed boost for short duration and radar. so not the same thing lol. power crept by Petro Where is Venezia which CV was solely responsible apparently? OH WAIT petro appeared They don't need to fix anything but how CVs work currently and they need to find a way to make them less broken which is fundamentally impossible. Doesn't mean CVs are responsible for the stale meta currently happening. Your wish to make subpar ships viable choices in a competetive enviroment are rather amusing btw. Feels like you never experienced other games with a variety of choices, be it characters or weapons in which only a small minority are great choices in the highest levels of play.

I don't care about steel. I care about playing for myself and doing my best no matter the circumstances. Also I don't care about the need of many or the few or whatever. I already said often enough that CVs are flawed. All this doesn't matter. All that matters to me is the conditions WG sets for me in which I need to play in. And if their condition is for CVs to be possible or not I will play. I don't care either way. But I will be the last to cry about the condition WG sets.

You better prepare a Kevlar reinforced, composite armored Hazmat suit against the coming onslaught.

I don't care about what I deal damage with. I would even go back to RTS very gladly if I could. I want my CV ship to be present. I use it in ways most don't and I'm excited about pressing M every minute each battle to evaluate my hulls position to move closer or further away with simple clicks. I don't get screwed by autopilot anymore because after 3k CV battles you know how bad it is to make it work. I like using that hull to bait enemy players into pushing bad positons. And above all that when I play DDs I love sinking the clueless enemy CV. Because it's rather easy to do so given that the big big majority of CV players are just bad at the game and a non threat. You won't be able to convince me otherwise.

I don't agree with your idea about removing the hull. The CV hull can be used in more ways than just sitting in the back. I regularly go as close as possible to the front lines and even cap with my hull and won quite a few games that way that would have been lost otherwise. It's world of war"ships"after all and the CV itself is a ship. I read most of your posts and your arguments about the Squadron being a "CV" players "Hull" and I dislike it completely. I don't play CV because of planes go Brrr I play CV because of the combination of hull placement and squadron control.

So you are allowed to kill him with your torps but as soon as he pounds you on your way to kill him it's bad?

Not really. Just individual ships. You can still play smalland/Halland/somers in the current meta without a problem. There certainly are Auda mains out there who would like to play it but it's so bad that they are forced not to. I wasn't pissed that I couldn't participate in KOTS. I understand perfectly well that there are players in my Clan who can play the ships I would be able to bring better than me. It's a community event with custom rules too. But this CB season does not make DDs unviable. And I certainly don't care for players stuck at typhoon and below who want to by all means play ships that are out of meta. There is a reason why tierlists are followed like religion in all competetive games in the highest leagues. And the players who constantly cry that their favorite whatever isn't viable because it's power crept by Tripple S tier Balanskov Sigurd, that character that parries attacks without player input... those players are called scrubs.

Yes and sneaking up on Petros kind of isn't a real thing either because they actually sneak up on you. Simply can't run the risk of trying to be stealthy against a ship that outspots you anyway. Petro is just broken with or without CV

Yes I forgot please forgive me... to include Smalland

Implying any of the named ships would be taken instead of Somers in a non CV CB season.

X for doubt. Petro is the only reason for Petro spam. CV or not. Petro would be spammed.

Tameichi Hara was known to reform the IJN torpedo doctrine so it would make sense for him to get bonuses in those places also a bonus.. for last stand. He was captain of IJN Shigure which got a hole punched into its rudder by a torpedo which didn't detonate. They only noticed when maintenance work was done in docks. So make Last stand bonus to reduce effects of broken engine/steering by 75% I don't know any known captains who for CV bonuses tbh

yes. Give us Tameichi Hara with IJN Shigure as a premium. It's about time. Give him torpedo specializations.

So found a way to completely ignore flak without the need to dodge at all.CV rework working as intended. Give me Zuiho WG and I will tell you bout it. DEW IT

Had a lot of fun so far. Meta is still likely to change around. Found out a new broken feature of the CV rework that doesn't even require me to dodge flak so striking Petros all over is even more fun. My clan also seems to enjoy the CBs. Very chill comms.

Your daily "How did this/could they" posts are what keep me coming back in here.

I don't know. I believe the restoration time never was about planes being repaired or created but to simulate loading new planes on deck via elevators. So damaged planes probably would just be abandoned. I would suggest counting damaged planes as "unusable" and a loss. Punishes players who touch flak even harder too since due to flak 3 - 4 planes can get damaged at once meaning those planes are now "unusable" and lost. Only the plane kill shouldn't then be credited to the ship injuring the plane.
