[-AP-] thiextar Players 3,503 posts 9,933 battles Report post #1 Posted October 20, 2019 Ranked Sprint We are currently testing a new battle format - "1 vs 1" on tier VIII ships. Full details of the Ranked Sprint will be announced later on the official portal. Does that mean that wg are testing 1v1 to implement 3v3 as it was in the clan brawl, or is it actually gonna be 1v1? how would that even be balanced? I assume you will face the class you pick, but even then, some ships will be brokenly strong at 1v1, some laughably weak, i really wonder how this will be balanced.

[-AP-] thiextar Players 3,503 posts 9,933 battles Report post #15 Posted October 20, 2019 Also, since its 1v1, what would even pretend to counter carriers? What is to stop the carrier from simply finding a large enough island and play ring-around-the-roses with the enemy bb/ca? carriers are certainly fast enough... only thing that could catch them would be a dd or maybe a french cruiser, but a carrier should kill those off very quickly... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of agree but with randoms the CV can normally work out the DDs position from either spawn, cap or the direction the CL, CA or BBs go in (leming train) With this 1v1 the CV will have a harder time finding the DD but via RPF the DD will know where the CV is, then it's a matter of who finds the other first.

Should be quite obvious where the enemy spawn is. And when planes are spotted, you basicly know where he has to be. Finding DDs is hilariously easy imo. 22 minutes ago, Pikkozoikum said: Guess a good AA cruiser would go for the objectives and focus on not dying, while winnig with points "Good" AA Cruiser...
