It's what you get when a company fails at basic quality control. If only they had competent staff with the vision to prevent this from happening.... *disclaimer* in no way do I have the intention of offending or insulting specific persons.

Maybe the stream people had a moment of clarity during christmas and decided that selling cow-manure and spinning fails isn't worth it? *Edit *disclaimer* In no way do I have the intention of insulting or offending specific persons

No use discussing this, the notion that someone at WG gave it braintime at all is hilarious to begin with. They just yolo'd it in without even considering, just like they do with most things these days. How many shiplines/ships they brewed-up lately have done a 180 in terms of playstyle? One would think that after so many years they had a notion of what to do, but not WG. They are absolutely clueless and seem either to be proud of it or to arrogant to notice.

ehhm... never mind.

I found a pic they took after the decision was made. Aren't they all looking proud? Chief spreadsheet is the one with the funny hair. The one with the funny look at the right is in charge of balance

true. But that's a feature.

Who said DD's are for spotting? Shouldn't they be rear lining and spamming HE with the cruisers and BB's? Isn't that their historical job?

All those meetings, overtime and hard, manual labour they put into it... Took them weeks, no doubt.

Of all the things they could spend their time on, they randomly take a ship to nerf it's AA. C. C. (edit, since 'gamedevs' are considered fragile souls edit) gonna do clueless stuff I guess.

So... WG screwed up a few things while trying to fix something that is still not fixed... Sounds like typical WG behaviour to me. They are completely incapable of even the most basic quality control, let alone something else. It's a good thing I enjoy seeing things fail due to arrogant, condescending clowns being arrogant, condescending clowns. It's a shame they kill the game, but this has it's entertainment value.

Seriously depends on how far on the ends they are and what counts as right/left in a far more complicated society then a 100 years ago. If you are a half-decent christian (the left cheek, help thy neighbour kind of) in the US you have to choose between the 'family value'/abortion/euthenesia/LHBTIQ+ stance of the Rep's and the social policies of the dems, you can't have both. You don't want a president that alligns himself with dodgy groups that have a love for streched-out right arms and dislike to much pigmentation? You're stuck with a old guy who needs to keep up with groups on the other end of the spectrum. Politics will always be about compromise but certain systems let the voters do the compromise and other systems let the politicians fight it out after the elections. I have a clear preference. because of a system that is not made for modern times. because of laws that are in effect from a rather recent past that's not that free for certain groups. because the system is far to open for lobby groups (read: money) to have an influence that far exceeds their backing by the public. because people that are used to being influenced by commecials. Lots of facinating reasons really. Who thinks up a system where 1 of the 2 parties is allowed to draw the lines that make up their voterbase? The system i the US is broken, but there's somehow no will or way to fix it.

They invest heavily in bulls. They need the waste they produce...

just to make sure you are naming WG's bull by it's name. lolbroek

Removed? Strange that it still pops up. Most ships have either lost their role or are designed without one in the first place. This makes it much easier for WG to YOLO ships and classes in and takes the RNG factor to a new high, so they can keep pumping ships without a care. It rather clever of them, they must have had a clear moment and wrote it down.

WG just announced: The playerbase broke the game again. We will fix it for them. Geez, we are such a great bunch.

And, without any form of shame, sense of dignity or selfreflextion WG is blaming 'the playerbase' and rinsing their hands like Pilatus. After checking their finances, they will undoubtely have some neurons firing ('thinking' is a big term) and having a feeling of satisfaction. Yeah, they're doing great.

well... Their is the problem that people tend to do ok in dd's in mid tiers, but find that higher tiers are a rather different game in many respects. I'm doing ok-ish now in them, but had to make a big step after mid tier play. Most can't really help failing, because WG is incapable of making consistent lines.

The ones stolen by god-hating queers that want to destroy the 2nd promised land and have people live their lives godless? edit: We really should keep this on topic.... But it's so tempting...

You must have been to one of the better states then. Most American living overhere are ok, most I met in south and central where a rather 'less broadminded' group. Mind you, it was in my fairytale time, so not that narrowed the group maybe. But there certainly where a lot of them. And boy, freedom was a rather narrow concept in their minds.

just never, ever visit the USA. Problem solved.

That's main armament. I use that, but not enough. Must be RNG hating me ;-)

I rather use secondary in slot3, they are less important then my secondaries

At least until 3 HE shells hit you. 55% WR in the thing. Secondary build. I tend to focus HE spamming cruisers and DD's. But hey, who am I. I like it.

Already my policy. Except if flyboy of bottomcrawler themselves.

Besides the fact that this rather, let's put is mildly, stupid thing makes the already wonky quality of WG's prime game mode even worse? We don't want people to hunt the holy and untougheble ones now, do we? They are made to prey on others, like WG likes to prey on players, not being the prey, like WG sees it's playerbase. edit: That should be untouchable.
