Where's the fun?

[DumbleDerp]

Just wanted to know what tiers people found they enjoyed the most and why? I like tier VII matches mainly because the skill level has increased and the matches are more interesting.

[MudMonkey]

Up to now I only have tier 7s. So...I cant tell if tier 8, 9 or 10 is better. And I doubt that you will find many who actually are playing higher than tier 8. But up to now I had most fun in tier 5 (with DDs) and 6 (with CAs).

Hmmm, that is a difficult question to answer since the matchming is also still in Beta.

 

Some, for example, lower tiers, are not fun to play when you have high tiers against you.

It will be easier to answer when we get a "normal" matchmaking.

 

I will get back on that.

Not so sure about that. Some of my best games were in low tier games tearing apart higher tier ships 

 

St Louis.... OP?

The fun for me is independent of ship tier and rather depends on the quality of teams in the match.

Okay i partially have to agree on that.

 

And yes, St. Louis = OP

 

[CloakingDonkey]

it's more on a ship by ship basis for me. Cleveland looks like fun, Aoba isn't. Gremyashchiy is freakin hilarious, Minekaze - meh. 

 

Honestly I think it's just going to be like WoT for me... I'll have my favourites at every tier but I'll gravitate to tier 5 and up over time. Although I do enjoy a good tier 3 match ^^

[MrDane]

I like the lower tier battles, I guess because when I get in the high tier battles, I am the low guy :-) But the higher tier battles seems to be a lot slower and often end in a draw. Maybe just my bad luck with the MM system.

All these [edited]Clevelands.

All these [edited]Clevelands.

 

I voted six and was just about to post it's all about the Clevelands and the Fuso's 

 

Edit:

 

Just came to mind, if I had a string of bad games the best way to wind down is to select the only tier III I still got. The mighty St Louis, gun's gun's and more gun's 

[krautjaeger]

Difficult to answer until you've done them all though, but so far I'd say 4, 5 and 6. Equally.

[MeanGreenUnseen]

Impossible to answer due to different classes.

 

T5 for IJN BBs.

T5 for IJN DDs

T7 for IJN CAs

 

As for USN, I sincerely say I don't really like any of them. Maybe T5 or T7 (Atlanta) CA ? T3 or T5 DDs? Those are good, but don't really strike me as something amazing, unlike the IJN line.

[Silvercat18]

Tier 5, as ships after that actually get worse in many cases (like the Japanese destroyer line for example). The same applies to carriers, especially as dive bombers are innefective and AA becomes more effective.

 

The incentive to move up the tiers simply isn't there and I often read comments on this forum that people would quite like to keep using a lower tier ship in the high tier matches and that shows something to be in need of serious rebalance.

[GarethLowe]

Well I've only got to tier 7 and that's with BB's and USN Cruisers and I gotta say I enjoyed the tier 6 ships in both lines. In both cases although your guns get bigger and you get more HP you lose a lot of guns. Also the reload times go up due to the bigger calibre of the shells, this wouldn't be a problem but damage seems so random due to shot spread, and throw in the negligible damage done by shots that don't hit something important I prefer having more guns and so more shots in the air. If shell damage was just a little more reliable it wouldn't matter so much, but at the moment the tier 7's seem a downgrade.

[Exodude]

7/8/9/10 actually. 8 the most, lower tier ships are usually sluggish and ugly

 

[OVanBruce]

Sluggish and ugly 

 

Apologize to Kongo-nee sama. Apologize to Minekaze and Iwaki. Apologize to Yuubari!

 

Shame on you!

[Exodude]

Yubaari is meh, sorry but its true, the Kongou sisters get an exception :3

[Venatacia]

1 - 5 have been the most fun, mainly in cruisers. Bought the Russian premium DD and that has been the most fun so far surprisingly. Haven't got past tier 7 yet so I can't comment on anything above making my decision a bit moot. Though to be honest this aim mod is killing my fun in BB, so I am not enjoying them at all around tier 4/6.

[ttchip]

Driving stuff up to and including tier VI, I found the Isokaze to be particularly overpowered for its tier. Type 92 torps are ridiculous and even on the Minekaze I'd rather use those over the "upgraded" ones.

 

Had some amazing games in that bugger.

 

Edit: Yay, first post!

[ddod]

I have way too much fun in my Baltimore shooting down T6-7 cruisers like peas. And they said the were goin to buff the ROF on the Baltimore! Cant wait.

Also thanks MM for the free meal.

[Jexter]

I'm up to tier VI atm (I level all tech tree lines in parallel, takes a little while - planning on getting started with CVs tonight/tomorrow) and I can't complain about any tier so far, they've all been fun.

[brainfear1]

playing tier 8 new orleans one of the ships i enjoy the most at the moment Oh and the mogami t7 comes close to the n1 spot as well

 

[Crooq_Lionfang]

I can't really pick a tier, as it largely depends on the ships you play. Every tier I have played so far (up to tier 7, not enough in tier 8 to decide yet) has different ships that are a lot of fun to play. St. Louis was amazing, Kuma was great, Cleveland and Fuso are loads of fun, so is Mogami. If I really had to pick a tier it would be tier 5. No ship really stands out, but with Kongo, Minekaze, Omaha and Nicholas each one is a pleasure to play in it's own way, there are just no bad ships on that tier.

[Zenith]

Low tiers are still the most fun, and probably the most well balanced overall. WoT was exactly the same, so hardly a big surprise. 

[Fominator]

Tier 5-6 is the best, since there is a lot of great ships in it. Minekaze, the best DD in game, Fuso, the best BB (since Yamato armor is bugged), Cleveland, a tier 7 ship in tier 6, Nicholas, one of the best suicide boats, and Kongou, fast and deadly. Aoba is crap tho.

 

Other tiers are heavily imbalanced or filled with boring ships.
