Removal of the Kamikaze from the game.
The three sisters in my view are thee most op ships in the game with the CV discussion and balance issue at hand then surely out of all the rare ships these 3 should get the chop , It is unfair they even exist a relic from the golden age of Japanese DDs which were balanced simply because they dominated every game.
The refusal by WG to remove them and tease people into spending cash to obtain them in loot boxes goes to show how much they really care for balance they simply have no counter even a CV cannot spot them unless flying directly over them , Their fast reload time on tops at such a low tier means they can decimate a team within minutes without being spotted once.
Most of the rare ships have been power creeped to some extent but the 3 sisters still reign supreme even at top tier.
What are people views on this , Do you enjoy seal clubbing with this ship or deep down do you think yes they are completely unfair , I understand a lot of veterans play at higher tiers but as a mid tier player these ship have always been a edited* on the game.
Edit: watch the language please!
How and where do you calculate this ?
Regardless of the source, you have the realize that everyone has access to tech tree ships; disregarding players that never learn how to play these ships, most new(ish) players are still learning how to properly play the IJN DDs at this tier - hence the stats will always be less than what they could be.
On the other hand you have the Premium ships that aren't accessible to everyone; the Kami-sisters and Gremyashchy are (among others) not even on sale anymore. Thus, the pool of players that have these ships is relatively small compared to the silver ships. Furthermore, one could assume that most of the players who are still playing these ships, are probably above average - which is generally enough to get a sufficient boost in win rate in these ships.
e.g.
My stats for the 4 ships :
- all ships have been played in the past year (since I regrinded my IJN DD lines multiple times)
- the Minekaze's stats (and maybe the Mutsuki's stats as well) are somewhat skewed due to my first play-through many years ago (no Premium nor camo's or flags nor CE captain)

Kami and Gremy are on par qua win rate, followed by Mutsuki (and probably Minekaze if I play more battles).
The average damage output also comparable on the Kami and the Gremy - for the two silver ones it's almost equal.
Average kills is a tough one; I would assume it's because the Kami targets BBs / straightliners and excels at OHKing them. With the Gremy I just attack anything on my path (and thus the possibility of me getting the kill lowers) - otherwise I'd say this one proves you right.
Average XP, again, on par for the Gremy and the Kami (the Gremy probably has the lead here because of the slightly higher win rate); with the Minekaze I probably need a couple more battles to get to the Mutsuki's average.
All in all I would conclude that the Kami and Gremy are on par qua battle influence/performance, be it in a different way. Apparently the silver ships Minekaze and Mutsuki are a bit weaker, but still strong enough in general (in my opinion).
Is there a site where I can track my stats in these ships for e.g. the past 3 months ? Would be interesting to see :)
:edit:
@T0L0S and others can confirm, while I am super effective in my Kami (most of the times), I am outright terrifying in my Gremy (most of the times)
