Iried to participate but kept downloading the game instead of the PTS.

Yes, this makes sense. Now if they could address some of the other issues of players progressing too fast....

Haha. WG LOVES players like this. LOVES LOVES LOVES. I can name players on NA who do this. I know them well. Reported, both in-game system and as complaints. No point. The truth is that WG loves this stuff. Players like this cause collapses and get players back in the queue faster. Getting players back in the queue faster is their number one goal -- that's why we have arbitrary griefing mechanics like subs and CVs -- to get players dead faster and back in the queue faster. There is nothing you can do. They will never do anything to these players. AFKers and botters and yolo'ers are their bread and butter, they believe.

The game has suffered so much damage Lately from the addition of submarines and super ships and other controversial decisions that I think the destruction of PVE has gone under everyone's radar. Co-op is no fun at all and its utter lack of fun is one of the reasons that I have refrained from regrinding lines that have slower ships. They really really need coop to the old system, that was so much better. What sucks is that they won't.

"Take my wife, please."

I just took Vermont into Arms Race six times. My god that thing is crap. I knew the guns were mediocre for their size and that the reload is ridiculously slow. And of course, it wallows slowly around the map, turning like a barge. My top score in it in 6 games in AR was 215K damage. That was a fluke. I didn't approach that in the other matches. What I hadn't been prepared for was how incredibly easy that thing is to cit. I have eaten cits from GKs at over 20 kms, from Yammies, Montanas, Shikis, and Slavas at well past that. Angled too. Apparently you have to be fairly sharply angled to get anything to bounce or richochet. It eats pens like crazy. Broadside at under 20 kms you're just food. Vermont is basically a bag of stupid. Why did the devs waste their time developing a ship this bad? What a waste of effort, training, and talent. Needs -- a 33 second BASE reload / 3-5 more knots of speed /a much lower citadel /a better rudder shift and turning radius. Any three of those would be fine. Right now, I have retired that POS. Thank god I've never played it in Randoms. Thanks for giving us Arms Race so I can test it without ruining my team's game in a Random match. All this goes double for the Kansas and Minnesota (just compare Kearsage to Minnesota -- Kearsage averages nearly 15K damage more, and it isn't due to the airplanes). Please fix this line. The ships look beautiful, I love their retro look. But they are just stupidly slow and boring.

i just took her into AR again. First minute I eat a cit from a Republique at 22.5 kms. After that he cit me several other times at 20+ kms. The armor makes it a nightmare. Sad, because I could really fall in love with it.

What I really dont understand is why we need T11 superships. We already have the T10 Russian ships.

Of course, But the point is focused fire isn't needed to put her down. There is no point in having a sniper that can be cit at 22 kms by non-sniper BBs like GK and Monty, never mind Thunderer, Slava, and Shika. In other words, if that is really its role, it can't function in that role. It has no clear role and no clear application because the armor is so stupendously bad.

Actually, that's why I won't play them. I can tolerate the meh guns, the indifferent reload, and the poor speed. But the poor damage resistance makes them useless.

Yup. The Reworked bots suck. Boring to play against, constantly getting stuck on islands. It's tiresome that they haven't reverted that change....

Solo win rate overall win rate PR

No, it doesn't. The stats are highly misleading. Does any clan go with Vermont for clan battles? No, but Montana remains a favorite.

Ha. Yeah, I often tell my students writing is like having an affair. Easy to start, difficult to stop.

Holy heck. That's a PHD thesis. Just pick one thing, like the mode ideas (which are good!). Focus on that.

Poltava. A hugely underrated ship. First time I took it out, I was like... "this thing has 28 sec reload with 16' guns and HE fire chance of 43%?" Played a bunch of games in it. If you guard your side, you can wreak havoc in it. It doesn't uptier too badly either, an urgent requirement now that T7s are effectively T9s.

Really just a bad idea. He won't last long, I'd imagine. They need to pick a more popular and even tempered poster to be a mod. One with experience....

In that case, carry on. You're doing god's work.

CV player complaining that CVs are unbalanced? Irony is not only dead, its corpse has been exhumed and mutilated.

From the monthly SC.... I've only pulled two ships out of random SCs. The other was... Saipan. LOL At least it prevents it from appearing in a Santa Crate.

AR is great for grinding T9s. It is a good place to grind FXP. But as a mode, it sucks. Damage values are too high, every game is a collapse. Maybe a half dozen hard fought ones in the many I have played. All the problems of T10 plus increased arcade BS. I hope they reconsider their decision to shove that into Randoms.

Massa JBart Republique

Ha! I hadn't even noticed that. i wonder why i did it that way. But its never come up with a problem. The biggest problem I have in JB is games ending before I get much damage. Common problem in so many ships....

So i have heard, but I dont play CVs, dont play ships that rely on griefing mechanics.

...certificates!
