[CHEFT] ForlornSailor Players 7,358 posts 11,689 battles Report post #3 Posted October 12, 2019 Solution: play mid tiers. There you have games with 2 Cruisers now, because CVs and BBs are best buddies there. And thats why looking at average numbers tells you very little about the state of the game in specific tiers @ColonelPete ... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, 4-5 DDs per side happened a lot in the last days, they usually are quite difficult matches because you have to kill something fast before all 44% win rate destroyers on your team suicide by getting torped in their smoke 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah we lost that game. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ATRA] Srle_Vigilante Weekend Tester 1,233 posts 10,323 battles Report post #9 Posted October 12, 2019 Smolensksksksksks... ks, are easy prey for Heavy Cruisers. And personally i dont mind them that much in BBs. I mean yea sure theres 16 shells raining on you every 3 seconds, but just calm down bro they're only 130mm and only can do so much. IMO Smolensk is our new OP Kutuzov. If anyone remembers back in the day when Kutuzovs used to roam the battlefields spamming HE from smoke at 20km or so. EDIT: nm bring a smolensk to mid tiers pls.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ofc it's a bit unfortunate, that the maplesyrup data seems to be a bit neglected. At least they haven't realized over a period of more than 2 years there is a new french nation, not to speak of the more exotic nations and the new pan-Eurpean and soon to come italian-line. I am not arguing any of your statements, but there is potential for bias. DD ratio could be higher due to the recently added french DDs. CV ratio is lower, as all other lines are missing french ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats where the most damage comes from! Also be careful for what you wish there are some rumors that yamato will get buffed! WG admitted "BB overpopulation" around introduction of German BBs back in 2016. Measures WG did to counteract that: *cue cricket sound* When WG admitted "DD overpopulation" in early 2019 they immediately rolled MM rule to softcap destroyers to 4 per team. And while its easy to farm nice damage numbers on BBs, killing one for actual game impact can be extraordinarily hard, even more so when its piloted by someone with two cells instead usual one. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
