MrFingers Beta Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 3,242 posts Report post #6 Posted November 21, 2019 It's going to be one hell of a trainwreck to see that "experiment" unfold... Funny to watch though, from the sideline. What ships are going to be strong? I can see the Enterprise being the "I win"-button, but I don't discard the Tirpitz/Bismarck (especially if the planned buffs go through) or a secondary-specced Graf Zeppelin or Massachusetts.

It all depends if it Mirrored MM or not. @MrConway any more info? It's certainly different and I have to give you that, i'm gonna reserve judgement at the moment but it sounds increasingly boring. Unicums/good players will easily get to ranked 1 with the ships. However, if it is mirrored my gut instinct is there are some REAL STAND OUT SHIPS that will completely own their enemy. Don't make the gap between those that do and those don't even bigger than it already is!! Enterprise and KIDD? It if isn't mirrored then dear god are their some classes that will simply own the enemy (*cough* CV *cough* DD). Saying all this, it's ranked SPRINT so it's always a bit of fun anyway i suppose.

I use it on every single one of my ships. Add radar and hydro and a dd stands little chance. Play a CV or aforementioned specc'ed cruiser and dominate I reckon. What on earth are WG thinking?

This is a good point, so basically you will need to retrain your commander if you want to be most succesful in this format. Not like its worth it I would have loved to see mirrored 1v1 though, that would be a lot more interesting TBH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current plan for this 1v1 sprint is to NOT have mirrored matchmaking. Its an experiment that we think will be fun :) 7 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you cant survive if you dont have smoke vs CV and i dont think DDs smoke is gonna last all the way to CV. Enterprise is just gonna kill everyone, but we will see.
