dont think BBs wil come out as top dog from subs release citadels from below and having to have HE ready and loaded to be able to defend against subs isnt going to do them a lot of fun except UK BBs who will have HE loaded anyway

just lol wouldnt matter if he had 6 minotaurs to run behind

is going to be funny when CVs facing slight resistance hitting DDs are just going to farm AA cruisers instead

the more insta kill mortars there are on the battlefield the less places there are to hide in ambush for gales why make the easiest weapon the most damaging why balance the plasma torps with 15k detection that dont even need line of sight but nothing for the mortars your view of balancing keeps confusing me will be funny when the third ship releases with a hard counter to torps but just a bigger area to hit with mortars edit: the main problem isnt really with the damage tho its the autoaim on the range there is some minor skill in aiming at a broadside target, but a running or engaging target needs basically no player skill as its almost completely compensated for with the auto aim this leaves gales unable to get out of range or into torpedo range it just lets them broadside and die slower similarly he valks or ap valks need to either get out of mortar range or into penetration range, both again needing to engage or run, both still leaving them at a mayor hp disadvantage at the start of the shootout vs a superior weapon

key doubles your points if you gathered 1500 and leave with a key you get 3k you need to gather 5k to get the 10k

true on both your conclusions where correct, just the thing about BBs not suffering so much in the current state of the game because of more hp was wrong good cruiser aa would force a CV to reconsider the attack run he started if he spotted cruisers supporting the BB both costing time and possibly planes in the retreat once apon a time cruisers where the CV counter and they should have that role back and yea, smoke doesnt save you it just adds the suffering before death everyone dies a planned DD stealth attack/spot is countered just as easily by a CV as a BB trying to push to support resulting in the current meta of nobody helping anyone and with the low tiers being 4CV hell nobody learns to help eachother in the matches where there is no CV

BBs cant dodge and with germans added to kill engines and citadel with every run the statement that BBs are the most safe from CVs is a joke, they have even less counterplay then cruisers who can pretend to "just dodge" the fighter consumable also doesnt matter as you actively need to ram them for them to do anything at all also the whole thing about BBs having the most hp is also tunnelvisioning while ignoring all the downsides that come with it, no dodging, large area to attack, no concealment sure they have a lot of hp but thats because thats all they have any BB moving forward with the cruisers will be easy damage farm for the CV that spots them from the other side of the map, and since cruisers cant scare away planes the CV isnt going to change its attack run and find a different target just because a few cruisers that dispersion might screw them over with are along the way and as soon as it drops its bombs you lose engines, then your cruisers run and hide behind islands while you cant stop and you get blamed for overextending because a engineless BB needs half the map to stop and dont even bring up using repair later, the next drop will kill engines again wonky as it might sound, the safest ships are DDs, smoke, concealment and while aiming rockets is one of the easiest things in the game, its still a high skill floor for most CV players giving DD turncircle and surface area ships a slight tiny miniscule chance of surviving if the CV wants them dead ofcourse all that is countered by how fast things end when things go wrong and ofcourse how much DDs suffer without concealment currently nobody is safe and nobody is having a good time its just that some people die and others suffer and then die

like i said deliberately run into flak clouds else your planes are pretty safe you have to do effort to lose them

there are also several invisible islands on the map

i can angle and negate a BBs attacks why is there no such play against CVs deplaning doesnt matter as you cant really run out without aiming for every flak cloud

the ships are just boring making the event boring who thought it was a good idea to make a tanking build gale? a secondary build gale without a upgrade to the firing arcs of the secondary guns? what is the point of playing a valk, its just a normal ship why even bother with the even if the ships are so bland

event has gotten pretty boring but honestly the reward isnt the problem no credits but also no cost so no penalty going for a ram only game lack of ships is a bigger problem, gale has only 1 build, valkery doesnt really have more then 2 builds so its 3 ships in the game and thats being generous

if negative karma would do something getting positive karma would mean more protection from negative kamra resulting in it meaning something

not sure if its german BB specific but beyond the citadels, another thing ap bombers are far too good at is killing engines and rudders nothing stops or overextends a push faster then losing all ability to stop or start and while german BBs are pretty survivable when spinning in circles most BBs arnt losing a large shunk of your hp without the ability to repair is one thing, being immobilized is death if your not sniping from the back (and we would all like more BBs not sniping from the back) and if the first pass kills engines your angling idea isnt going to do much for the second pass currently for a BB, it already feels like a timer just dodge isnt going to happen so you just kindof accept that your going to die soon dying later would be an improvement even if its not much of an improvement

next time add a minimum time between division requests its annoying getting division spammed by the dude your killing

its from doing the dailies just sloppiness, no use

how do people even know who reported them? maybe i just dont have enough experience gaining negative karma

@_Flyto_ the gale is a lot of fun and if the secondaries had15or20degrees wider firing arcs it would be a viable build with their current firingarcs there is no real reason to use them except vs mobs, so there is no reason to build for them just using torps wins every time even a non ap valk can turn and ram at that range or just turn 5degrees and its outside the firing arcs

citadel damage is irrepairable so its the only limit to maximum damage a CV can do

just stop having allies havnt divisioned for the past 10 games and going in at the end and killing a division just before going into the gate adds a lot of fun

its a mode without CVs so im playing it and having a lot of fun but i dont care about the rewards, its neither bad but its also definitely not good

pretty fun mode few problems: -the minimap has no pinging function and keeps past spots on it for a bit too long causing clutter, there is almost always a red dot cluttering south west of my minimap -divisions in the octagon are a bit derp, should auto end divisions on teleport -gale secondary firing arcs are almost unusable, wich wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt for the upgrades hinting at secondary build being a intended purpose, its kindof a noob trap -mobs are a bit too rare, would have been better with triple numbers and half points -all the tempting into betrayal means you dont know your players, its fun to see a division surround the portal waiting for all the people that try to get a key and kill them eventho they are already at 5k points tho honestly its not just divisions, killing people is just too much fun, i often also hunt down people eventho i have a key and 5k, love ending the game with the gate still open sadly there is no separate achievement for it -also little in game info for the new status effects, what does plasma and acid actually do, its not really reported in detail in game or in the info article that opened when the mode started a minor annoyance is also the gale upgrade choices getting max charge upgrades all game is pretty infuriating when the only upgrade you really want is extra charges, while the redistribute speed is just worthless

only strange thing is that with so many citadels the enemy was able to repair enough to have enough total health for him to destroy there is no counter to CV so enemy quality doesnt matter

that is how you are supposed to do it tho holding or pressing (dont remember) tab should open up just like in random battle but instead of the usual list of your and the enemy team ships it just has the ships in your division including the equipment and consumables on those ships under your ship in that list is a leave division button maybe you rebound that key? what key opens the list in random battles for you?

ah, just fire would have expected something more thats pretty lame
