Wargaming should really take notice.

Wargaming should really take notice, alteast when they hire new people to balance out the ships, since this is utterly redicules. 

 

SS is from the KOTS finale. 

 

Something is very wrong when half the game is the same ship.

I think reducing the AA mount hit points by 50% should fix it comrade.

Nerfing one of the prides of Soviet shipbuilding, comrade?

[The_White_Whale]

And that's with JUNK going crazy and running 2 DDs and 2 Salems, the standard team layout had another Petro or two.

[Miragetank90]

Ironically the counters to the Petro spam are 2 things the playerbase at large hates the most, CVs and HE spam.

50mm plating and 30 second fires limit the effectiveness of HE spam.

And them subways as well if they don't get any sub warfare gear. At leas they have a thunderer, should take another one or maybe a conqueror for better HE Spam.

 

Or the Queen Chonk of thighs herself Vermont if she hides next to and island then bodys them as they come around the corner.

kots isn't "the game", it's a theorycrafted, limited gameplay type with teams of high skilled players. that this will get reduced to a meta where people cannot afford to go rogue with setups is what's GUARANTEED to happen.

 

ie, it's at best an indication that some ship have some particular strength that is favoured in that meta, not that this says the ship is ungodlyomgopomgsoopomg.

 

Especially with one mayor component of randoms, CVs entirely missing, allowing for way more stacking of specific ships as they lack their biggest counter.

Strange these petros dont seem to do much when a des moines or salem approaches them close by close or when an hindenburg starts looking at them....or when that Italian BB will arrive they will be dead meat just like any other old world cruiser.

Yet that is the precise circumstances that saw the Hindy get it's large nerf a couple of years ago.

Yes but again with the Italians, same old WG problem, they introduce new crap to counter old crap which has all kinds of unintended side effects. Think about Italian BBs shooting DDs with SAP.

Not all HE is stopped by 50mm plating. 

Even if the HE is question can't penetrate 50mm plating(eg Des Moines, Salem, Nevsky) it's only a matter of time. 

 

Bow in Petros will not last long in such a situation and will have to go dark, or run, or be forced to kite and so give up the map. If they can't or don't do either of that they're dead, pretty quick. Like any other ship.

They will overpen , was already stated. 

[DFens_666]

Yeah, lets nerf ship X because its overrepresented in a competitive format.

After that you get ship Y to replace them, because that something will be stronger than the rest. So nerf ship Y

then Ship Z is best... nerf Ship Z

until you have nerfed everything else, and ship X is best again, then rinse repeat

This.. and so many other changes due to endless forum whining and complaints, with entirely predictable consequences, just shows how useless wg is at actually seeing where issues lie.

As i already wrote on another threat: 

 

Quote

 

On a more serious note the playerbase has to understand that competitive / tournaments and random games are like night and day. There are various strategies planned over weeks with main / counter lineups, when to push where and so on. Yes the petro is strong right now but wg already goes for the first nerf shortly after kots and it will most likely not be the only one. The combination of low conceal and a strong armor layout (+ a very deep citadel) makes her the go to ship for all high level clans since you play for cap control most of the time. 

 

Competitive gameplay is always an indicator , not an absolute, and i still think that various decissions of wg in the past which resulted out of competitive games where too quick / unneccessary, namely the nerfs on hindenburg, henri and venezia based on cb and KotS, while other ships that i consider strong remain untouched or even get buffed (*cough* des moines*cough*)-> but i don't want to drift too far apart.  Just as a reminder: If they make decissions purely on KotS CVs would be banned from random... ok i wouldn't be too sad about it

comrad, wg has another book full of new letters

Balans Times

Wargaming Finally added new letters to our not anymore new 24 letter alphabet! Also, they nerfed kremlin by removing a whoooooooping percentual of 3,43% hp points to kremlin's rudder!

Also, the new PETROCITADELOVSK will have its

engine room slightly nerfed, but this will be

compensated due to 2km/s shells!

The Meta is set by players, so theres no "this is the meta, this is what we must do" at the higher tiers. I mean, it was very boring to watch most of these games, basicly the same ships almost every game, other than a Yammy there and a Shima there. From over 40 ships, we maybe saw 10 different ships?

Its quite clear they need to balance some ships.

 

Its also quite clear that KOTS should look into having a maximum pr ship, since watching 5 Petros on 1 team is pretty bring. Try and break the meta, instead of adhering to it.

So because some ships are over-/ underrepresented in one specific gamemode, certain ships need to be buffed / nerfed, regardless of how it would turn out for random battles, which is the main gamemode of wows

The  meta is demanded by the game rules, the ships available, the AMOUNT of ships on each team (this is really rather important, as with more ships it's far harder to just bowtank your way through games, and it's a lot easier to fit ships with different capabilities into teams).

 

So no, it's not "clear" at all, unless your ONLY concern is the balance in a tournament that only a tiny tiny part of the playerbase even cares about, far less partakes in. Trying to change a game to suit a small part.. breaks games instead of fixing them.
