Your analysis is not wrong, but the conclusion is. I don't get deleted in T8+, but still prefer T6/7. For the very reasons you mentioned. My teammates can't derp as hard, thus making it easier to carry and win. T10 is harder to play, because mistakes are punished harder. And mostly (not always, of course) it is my teammates who often die like flies no matter what I do. And often I don't even understand how they managed to do that. Imo the average player skill is not lower at T7. The perma camos really fucked up T10, it's infested with bots now.

Personally, I would get rid of chat bans and start banning those 500 WTR clowns ruining ranked matches left and right. But that`s just me. NB: I am aware that you can`t really ban them, but they are way more damaging to this game than "toxic" chat will ever be.

So are you saying that Yamato shells are more capable of killing DDs than rocket planes and dive bombers? Hilarious. Then let me ask you this: does the Yamato player have to risk his own health to get into an effective range? And does the CV player have to do the same? Who will get HE spammed after opening fire?

What is strategic about intellectually challenged potatoes sailing to the map border or hiding behind islands en masse? It's a goddamn shitshow and even worse than before the rework. Not sure if it actually is WGs fault, but dear lord, don't call it strategic.

The difference is noticeable for sure. I play from Taiwan and today around 12-14:30 GMT+8 I had to wait minutes to get into a match.* It wasn't like this before. *NB: Of course I was a complete idiot to even play then, because the games were the worst garbage in a very long time. 9 out of 11 games ended with 3:0 caps after 10 minutes and the losing team circling the map border and islands at full hp. What fun.

Airplanes can correct their course, can Yamato shells do that?

There is a counter play, it`s called anticipating torps. Those are hardly unavoidable, rocket planes shot by a skilled player basically were. Or in other words: l2p.

And then I always get BBs who camp at the repair spot, making 3 tasks basically an auto-fail. The average IQ... :(

If WG is keen on sinking their own game, they will come. If they want to avoid mass chargebacks: no submarines. *edited*

Oh, you mean like the matches where one DD gets killed with 200 xp and the other one decides to drive around the map border? Just to get killed in a 1on1 later on? Great team, really. Your suggestion sounds really smart, but no thanks. I don`t save stars due to playing for it. I save them because I am often the only human being on my team. This is at least true above rank 10, it`s a [edited]joke. 4 games today, 3 losses, 2 stars saved. Progress = zero. Who in his right mind would endure this crap without being able to save a star.

Oh great, you mean then I can't even save the star when MM puts a bunch of 600 WTR clowns on my team? Or can I choose my teammates just like in clan battles?

No, I simply don`t think that this is enough, which is why I ignored it. After the hotfix planes may be a bit too squishy against cruisers and BBS (at high tiers), but too strong against DDs. Whether the CV kills you in the first minute or in the 3rd, not much of a difference.

Yes, because the average stats are based on 20 minute games alone, which makes your game special. You know, I also had good games in DDs after the rework, not even saying that DDs are unplayable after the hotfix. But if you think that the rocket planes and perma spotting are no problem, then I have bad news for you. Just because the opposing team was a bunch of potatos that didn`t kill you while you were spotted all the time (let alone the potato CV who apparently didn`t manage to hit you with his rockets) does not mean that there is no problem. I have seen unicum CVs eliminate evading DDs within 2 takeoff cycles - after the hotfix.

Wow, you got an amazing 53k damage game in one of the strongest AA T10 DDs with a whole kill??? Good Lord, guys, this super unicum just proved that CVs are no problem for CVs.

Naja, angeblich hat Sub_Octavian ja bei Kollegen dafür geworben, OP Premiumschiffe endlich zu nerfen. Ich habe auf meinem anderen Account sowohl die GC als auch Mutsu. Hat mich nie interessiert, ob ein Premium OP ist oder nicht. Sorry, aber das schiff macht 25% mehr Schaden als die #2 in T5. Kurzum: ich habe nichts gegen den Nerf, egal wie. Wichtig ist imo nur, ob WG sowas nur in wichtigen Fällen und gut begründet macht oder sich in " bait and switch" verliert. Ersteres unterstütze ich, letzteres wäre das Ende meiner finanziellen Beteiligung an diesem Spiel. Ich gebe WG erstmal einen Vertrauensvorschuss (der nicht unbedingt verdient ist, zugegeben).

Tell that to the gamers that died during binge gaming sessions. On a more serious note: what you describe is also a risk. Check the Oxford Dictionary.

I don't think that's enough. Cvs need to lose radio location and have their spotting range reduced. Also, rockets need to be rought in line, especially if they're gonna somewhat de-nerf CVs again. And those risks lead to your Kitakaze having an average damage of 54k, while your Hakuryua is facing no such risks. A class that can strike others out of safety and spot better than a DD should never outdamage (on average) those classes that actually risk being sunk. Anything else is pure bs. Edit: In terms of damage I am talking about damage in relation to the ships own hp.

I see, sailing straight potato BBs who put out their first fire and are then in danger of flooding to death. All of those things are also very convenient for DDs. So why is it that your DDs don't pull off such average numbers (not even 50%)? All while the DD risks being sunk. Could it have to do with some ships being a little tiny bit overpowered?

I'm not a "Bbaby", my best class is DD. You know, the class that got shat on by the rework. due to almost unavoidable spotting and rocket damage. Now you can show all those whiney DDs how to adapt.

Except that your average damage in the Kitakaze is 54K while you do (did) 146k in the Hakuryu. I guess that was the little info you conveniently ignored.

Well, damn those player who didn't know how to adapt. I guess now YOU can show them how one adapts.

RTS CVs just needed two main changes: - Getting rid of strafing. This made playing CV against a better player PUNISHING. I have no doubt that this was the reason for the low CV population at higher tiers while T4/5 without strafing were quite popular. - get high tier CV damage in line with the fact that other ships can not fight back against the carrier itself effectively. The first part was addressed in a way that allows CVs to constantly crap on other ships without havibg to worry about enemy fighters, while the second part was not touched at all.

Just tried Lightning again: 4 games, all with 2 CVs. Perma spotted, complete garbage. Where do I get a refund for my premium month? I did not buy that to be a beta tester for a shitty update.

The new CVs are already breaking the old damage records. Hakuryu at 550k now.And the average damage is on par with the old carries, despite people still learning how to use them. Zero risk: losing planes poses no risk to the carrier. The F-key aggravates this issue. Spotting: DDs are now spotted within the first minute of the match. Nobody cares about DDs spotting a BB. CV spot DDs, making them the best spotters in the game. Logic.
