Is it me or is the amount of overrunning increasing more and more?
It's sometimes hard to do any significant damage because the other team is gone already and the game is over. Teams with 7-8 ships under the 500-600 points. Or half the team has gone in under 6-7-8 minutes.
It seems that every patch (this patch with steroids for the Hindenburg) it gets worse. I feel the whole meta of having a good exciting game that is thrilling till the end is almost gone.
In my opinion:
- CV play is still broken. They don't do much damage (except for DDs, there it's massive) but can spot the entire map with their incredible speed.
- Spam ships are introduced more and more in the game, Benham, Kleber, Mino, Worcester, Colbert, Smolensk, Haregumo, Kitakaze, Mogador and now also Hindenburg has become one.
- On the other hand, ships are so nerved they go from very good to average or bad. Ship people grinded hard for to get and now suddenly have a lesser portfolio of ships.
- Fire to ships is getting more and more a damage dealer compared to AP or Torps. In the old days, you feared mainly the ZAO but now there are SO many firestarters.
- Introduction of OP ships (other than the spam ships) like Stalingrad & Kremlin
I know WG has the tactic of sometimes totally changing ships function so people will spend gold or currency to respec ships and captains but I am beginning to think that that strategy is now influencing the game increasingly in a negative way.
