What a joke Wows has become

[MenaceJC]

The game has become so unrealistic now, we might as well call it  Game of Spam

 

One Cruiser (lvl 10 Colbert) can now kill 3-4 Battleships  in one game easily without moving just sit there and spam them, they cant even hit the cruiser, as she disappears. so there is nothing to aim at.

 

So you just have a stream of HE fire that does not stop from a point on the map that you see no ship at.

 

I watched this point of the map move around and kill 3 Battleships in less than 1 min, two of them ran for cover, and hid for a while behind an island but lost 3/4 of their HP due to burning out, she then just came around the corner and started the spam again, and poof all done 3 x  lvl 8 & 9 Battleships dead with one cruiser.  Why even allow such a ship to be against lvl 8 & 9 ships.

 

Ah well, this has made the game both frustrating, and rather a waste of time.

 

Will be looking for another game soon.

 

Thanks for ruing the game for us.

She can’t disappear while shooting and any battleship overmatched everything but the citadel.

Colbert is strong and frustrating to play against but has real weaknesses.

The only way a ship can disappear is if no-one has a line of sight to the ship that is firing.  This has been part of the game for a very long time - the number of ships that can do this have increased though.

 

It's part of the problem when the BBs hide behind islands and can't support the DDs that are spotting - eventually the DDs either give up spotting or die trying because of no support.

Yes, I also think it's been an increasing problem, although that depends a lot on a number of factors which do not necessarily repeat in all the battles. One of the problems is that is no real coordination in many battles. You don't get friendly radar when you need one, for instance. There is no fire support when you call for it, etc.

 

If it were up to me, I'd remove all the gimmicky and dodgy 'balance' mechanisms from gameplay, like the smoke, islands, etc, and buff the affected ships appropriately so they can actually fulfil their roles properly without having to resort to 'questionable' mechanics.

At least Wooster needs a good player, does Colbert?

On one hand, you have plenty of examples of vessels which had rapid firing weapons, completed or otherwise, and that fit the timeline and game aesthetic of artillery ships.

On the other, some people find them too annoying.

Yes... though I have to question the usability of rapid fire, or in fact its purpose in game, as it seems to pour out more like a liquid out of a hose than actual gunfire...

So ships with Hitpoints were never a hint for you that this GAME is not realistic?

 

And when one cruiser kills 3-4 BB, then these BB misplayed their ships AWFULLY!

And the one minute is a lie or you missed that he just finished them...

Aha. totally impossible for a BB to do that, right? but if a Cruiser does it ... wait... actually its only YOU who claims that, lets be clear about that. IF a Colbert kills 4 BBs without moving himself then those BBs are the absolutly dumbest players around and, well, deserve to die in eternal spam of the Colbert. case closed.

Well between those 2 is very little difference - find hard cover and spam, both can go to open water in a pinch one relying on armor and the other on speed but in general neither will survive long like that, you need to pick your fights carefully...

A static BB is very easy to hit.

 

Do: Keep moving, wiggle, go dark etc.

Dont: Bow tank, move slowly, hesitate, or sail in a straight line

[Gudgeon]

Just think, he would have sunk three BB's in 30 seconds in a Smolensk.

[Exocet6951]

If 3 morons manage to smack themselves in the nose with a very visible rake within eyesight of each other, and within less than a minute, I'm not blaming the rake.

I'm testing -20% rudershift time module on some BBs, and so far I like it more then usual tank -15% fire/flood duration one. Especially noticable on something like montana, with 21 second base ruddershift time and rear turrets with bad angles.

If anything Wooster is EZ to play compared to a Colbert.
