Floofz ∞ Players 1,246 posts 7,392 battles Report post #27 Posted May 2, 2020 CV is not the main problem, the main problem is the idioticly toxic ship that is Venezia. Currently seeing 4-5 Venezias per game, if they run in a group of 3 they will kill a Stalingrad from any angle within seconds, chunking 10-20k salvos every 12 seconds. Especially when the CV keeps spotting you at the same time there is no counterplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A fun mode for CB's is too protect an Agir that gets continously nerfed till its either ded or the timer runs out. add's a bit more variety i guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all honesty though it's very boring and monotonous playing CV in CB's. I miss playing DD and trying to flank, baiting radar and being able to surprise an enemy. Have knife fights against other DD's and be rewarded for good positioning and spotting etc. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaishus lot run Midway but that's the only real odd duck but he obviously makes it work. No other comp is either able to out trade or out damage. It's a very stale season on NA.

Well we did 6x Henri for one evening, it kinda works but a) its much harder the make it work then just sitting around in Stalins and b) Stalin/Venezia combo sill felt stronger overall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But atm Stalin and Venezia are rly strong in the current meta. Ahh i see, im guessing CB's are a tier 10 thing only, would be nice to have tier 9 or 8. Maybe tier 1, 2 or 3 for giggles as like a mini clanbattle alongside the big event. Just now, Bear__Necessities said: In all honesty though it's very boring and monotonous playing CV in CB's.

Have knife fights against other DD's and be rewarded for good positioning and spotting etc. Yeah with only three ships being viable (surprised midway didn't make it too be honest) i'd rather watch paint dry. Even though CSGO has the same weaps, its the different maps, how players react to each individual situation and where they go and what they do, that makes it really interesting. Im surprised DD's aren't more viable, but with that amount of bloody radar im not surprised. I think one guy posted a match with stalins and hakus and it was basically which team loses one ship first and get into camp positions the quickest seemed to win. Maybe weegee should attempt tier 9-7 clan battles to mix it up abit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had T8 a couple of seasons ago, pretty much the same: If you got to higher leagues, it was kiev only setups Not as pronounced as we have now maybe, but executed correctly it was stronger than the traditional cruiser setup, well, because T8 Cruisers stink against Kievs in such a coordinated environement. Also we had T8 Clanbrawl, with CVs, which was pretty horrible IMO. In a 4x4, the OPness of T8 CVs is even more pronounced, contrary to the 5x5 Brawl on TX, where it felt easier for some reason. And some time ago we also had 3x3, 9x9, 12x12 () Clanbrawls for TX, T7, T5..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like weegee is either attempting to keep things fresh (and failing at it) or has no ruddy clue what it wants the clan battles to be. Think they should use my Agir game mode and 20v20 format too make it a bit more spicy. Maybe they should bring back that bastion mode i've heard recently about to reduce camping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when the CV keeps spotting you at the same time there is no counterplay. Statsbloke on his stream last night discussed it. The general opinion there seemed to come down to: - CV's problem in Clan Battles is that it is basically perma-spotting everything. Not having a CV is a massive disadvantage. - CV's presence also eliminates the DD's from the game. - Venezias only appeared beause of the CV + all Stalingrad line-ups had to be countered. And arguably the CV + all Stalingrad line-ups were the direct result of the CV being part of the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but its just how you word it.

Ozunix Players 1,009 posts 8,113 battles Report post #46 Posted May 2, 2020 Ok that's a lot of [edited] in this topic... First, a little warning, I'm talking about my point of view and personal experience. I dont talk for every NOCAP members... CV's used to my main class by far. And I've never claimed to be alowed to play them in CB. Why ? Because the class used to be busted with almost infinit skill cap. Now, even if I dont really play CV's anymore, I know this point have not change enough. New CV's are not as strong as older CV, but we are far away from balance. You can't be serious and objective when you are CV main who just want to start a drama around you. If people who complain about CV bashing were right, the top 5 of EU would have change. And we still have the same top in CB as usual. New clan are stronger ? This make me laugh. Top clans wont be bad because of CV's in CB, they just will be borded in one or two more seasons. (And I didn't talk about full Staline meta witch is really toxic for dudes who start competitive gameplay or dont like the ship...) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How odd never knew they did that with german (only learnt a week of it in school was better at it than french lol). I know. I just Explained quite alot of this in the other Topic after all. I also know that Yosha is actually not doing this entirely Unintentional. He is Perfectly Happy with People going Wild on Interpretions and Misunderstanding it..... But its still Impressive how everyone just Interprets their own Viewpoint and entirely Fails to Notice what he Actually said there.... Also. In German every Noun is Capitalized. As well as the Beginning of each Sentence and any Name. Including any Names of Objects and/or the Names of Actions. Basicly any Word that ends up being the Subject or is refered to as an Object in a Sentence will be Capitalized. Add to that that English is not my First Language. So I am often not entirely sure if an Action or Description is actually Subject or Object currently. For example. "Running" would generally not be Capitalized even in German. Person X runs to the Shop to get some Milk. "runs" stays small. But "Person X is doing some Running to train his Muscles" should be Written with Capital Letter in German. (Or at least I think that should be the case ^^) Because in this case Running is Named as an Object. At this Point its just a Habit for me to Capitalize Words. And its not really Hurting anyone. So the only People usually even bringing it up is People that try to Find Fault with me on something. Edit: I am not even sure this Topic will Survive till Tomorrow. If nothing else. This not getting Derailed is basicly out of the Question xD 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pikko is a short-form from my original nick name, and "zoikum", because my normal nickname was in use and I just added something that I like. "zoikum" is actually something that we use in Germany for time perioids. Like Phanerozoic is in german Phanerozoikum. The "um" at the end is a typically ending for german nouns. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
