Update 0.8.0. Prepare for Takeoff! - Discussion Thread

[GaiusHun]

WG team is killed by cv game. congratulations, rarely done so bad work. Right now.

[GaiusHun]

The simple question is, what is the meaning of cv? The whole thing became meaningless, it was an illogical step.

Pros: no more bot carriers in coop!

Cons: fps dropped like new cv planes in stacked AA, from 30+ it went down to 15-30, weird bugs, like whenever bb fired his guns the sound came from my akizuki.

who plays co-op?   lol

[danaos130]

Congratulations WG

Every year and worse!!!!!

OK people, Im really wondering a bit what all of you guys want from those poor dudes responsible for this update. Here is the situation we have in general in the community:

 

- DD guys complaining about rocket planes and radars.
- BB guys complaining about CVs and DDs.
- CV guys complaining about too stonk AA and useless/boring CVs.
- Cruiser guys complaining about too weak AA and not being able to cover half of the map with their AA anymore.
- Guys just complaining for the sake of complaining...

 

Seriously, whatever the WG developer dudes do, it will always be wrong... I dislike many things about the new update too ( for example the huge gap between ships with weak AA and such with strong one), but all this whining is just ridiculous. I could understand it, if the game had the player base of 9-12 years old kids. But considering the fact most of us here are adults in their late 20s, 30s, 40s or even older, it makes all this just hilarious :)

 

You can start shooting now, Ill take some cover

Well.... This one patch and rest of the year fixing this one... I wonder how many keyboards WG's coders break just to make hot fixes this year :D

[Fesvil]

Hmmm boy did they up AA x 10 compared to the test servers.. holy.. Matchmaking in kaga is a no go, T7 planes in a T8+ match you can give up, if you're meeting T7-T9, you have a chance with T7 and some T8, T9 will eat all your planes.. Trying to get more steel using coop will screw you doubly over as your bots are just INSANELY much worse than the other team.. 3 kills and 100k damage and you will still lose... Problem is there's too many that wants to play coop.. which sucks.. but ohh well.. time time time time..

 

Move to T10 and it's a different story.. MUCH more fun.. planes actually can take a fair beating if you use all skills and modules to buff them... I was more comfortable in midway compared to Hakuryu, mainly because the rockets are super on midway (use the "tiny" ones)..Hakuryu rockets are utterly useless against BB's.. On average I have 70-80% shatter on BB's.. DD's you do good damage to. But DD vs KAGA attack = DD wins, you may get 1 salvo off. Dodging is no longer a good strat, most AA detonate on your plane so you can't dodge.. had my entire squad of kaga torps die in less than 5s trying to torp a cleve land.. probably defensive AA.. 

 

So, KAGA is ruined when up tiered and now there's a lot of CV's playing = always uptiered.. Haven't tried enterprise or saipan, but saipan has T10 planes, should fare better..

 

Hated the old system, love the new, but it is so insanely unbalanced at the moment...

I'm speechless, bad, can't really familiarise with PT-3...

Was the Atlanta's AA effectiveness nerfed in this update? 
Feels like it!

yes I think, others have been complaining also that the ships AA is now useless

[Blitzkrieguk]

Thank you wargaming for making Carriers now unbareable in ANY match.

DD's are perma spotted and can't do a thing. 

AA is [edited]terrible

Planes are infinite

Defensive AA's are a consumable

The fact they can still play their [edited]planes even after destroying their carrier is horse crap. 

 

Absolute travesty. 

[Timberjac]

WG, you've got it... the most boring and stupid way is already in effect.

 

The only reason I do not uninstall the game forever is for friends who still and for now remain in it.

 

I can only wish all the developers, who will say goodbye to your work and never never ever again to work in the video game industry, at least, so do not kill more games.

[affondalaflotta]

I was awaiting the update with mixed feelings, but I was hoping to finfdthe game as exciting as before. It's not.

 So far there is no real feeling to be a CV captain, sittng in the command chair and looking at the entire battlefield in the screen, to spot the targets and find the better way to get them. 

 

Now you are an airplane pilot, and if you meet a target you will have to make do with the kind of weapon you have, there is no time to switch to another way of attack. 

even so this is pointless at the moment, because the update is full of bugs, airplane will start flying in circles at the slightest touch and to get a good approach is nearly impossible. Moreover the AA is nearly impassable, and if you do not swerwe left right and centre (missing any chance to point at the target) you die. period. 

 

Besides, several time in the same coop game(!) i was kicked out of the connection and had to login again. Not very enticing. 

 

All in all, I play WoWarships because I want to command a Ship. to drive a flight simulator i'm sure there are better options

I always love witticism, so i Like something you said in the post.

To me, a (former) CV guy this update means i cannot play the game anymore and i will have to go back to my (bad ) BB driving.

I can surely live with that.

 

But the question is, Who will find the update really updating the play?

[Budget_War]

the Ap shells from the hood changed?
A while ago the Ap from the ashitaka got changed aswell.
In general better Ap performance against BB's is kinda nice.
However the new shells (on the ashitaka, haven't tested those on the hood yet) do perform quite poorly against cruisers.
i was wondering if it would be an idea to make ammunition a researchable module of the ship and that you can choose what 2 types of shells you bring into battle.
like: High-dmg He or high fire chance He or High pen Ap or low pen Ap etc...

Also, what about a second IJn bb line? starting at tier 6: Ise,   takao (slower ashitaka with more armour and aa),   tosa,   izumo,  and then an alternative yamato design. say the design with even bigger guns but only 6 of them. or the same guns but in 4 twin turrets. To fill in izumo's spot: a Kii-class sister ship. similar to the amagi except with improved armour, hp and accuracy. (its AA and secondaries will be quite bad though)

I sold my favorite ship Enterprise!!! Thanks WG! Turn back to old version ASAP pls!!! CV play was killed!!!

[MANIQKBGR]

Rip game

 

[Generalisator]

As a former main CV player:

 

 

CV, as they are now, I will not touch them again.

I'm as close as WoT at 0.8-0.9:

Do not play, DO NOT PAY.

[Beyosu]

Wargaming has not destroyed the game, but it has done a brutal cap to the CV. Those who play Battleships begin to tighten their asses, when the cries of cruisers begin to complain that they are destroyed by a shot, and cap the battleships as they have done with the CV.

 

Or when I cap the DD because the Battleship players cry.

 

Then to complain about the forum and we will remind you of the CV.

 

Then to complain about the forum

 

 

By the way, I am a player of Battleships, but I liked to play games with the CV, now I'm not cool.

Had the same problem. After checking everything else (i.e. firewall, network, ...) I uninstalled all mods - that worked. (WG 'Modstation'). Then re-installed all mods. Hope that helps...

Didn't replicate though... maybe s.o. else can confirm?

[HentaiSquirrel]

Thought this was the usual bickering when game mechanics have been changed and people are slow to adapt... but then watched CVs melt away all day... wow. 

 

 

 

Other changes feel strange, but like sth. I can adapt to. Can't judge the CV rework since I haven't played CVs yet - actually thought about starting with the patch release... It certainly looks like that would be a real challenge ; )

 

 

edit: on an afterthought.. I'm sure WG will look at the stats - if specific ship class performance or gameplay really collapses, for CVs or otherwise, I'm pretty sure it will be changed again. The beauty of (good) statistics is that it's beyond subjective impressions ; )

[West_Trewirgie]

Change to visibility penalty when firing but not spotted is a BIG change and makes classic DD play of dive in, fire, dive out, very difficult. Compounded by DDs now constantly spotted by aircraft and very vulnerable to rockets. Will I bother playing tomorrow? Actually, probably not.
