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!
So you don't like the speed of Kami torps i understand.
Mutsuki has 8km torps vs Kami 7km torps. If we bring Kami torp speed to Mutsuki level, it will have 63knots base torp speed vs 68knots. This 5knots difference practically wouldn't exits/matter for good players who are the ones taking advantage out of it anyway. But since we bring Kami to Mutsuki level, it means we will extend its torp range to 8km as well otherwise it would be an inferior ship.
We kept the concealment at 5.4KM. We kept the torp reload same which is still slower than Minekaze by the way.
Okay, now what we have is a Kamikaze with 8km torps, 63knots base torp speed with 5.4km ship concealment.
Or we can keep the torp range at 7km which would give us a Kamikaze with 7km torps (inferior to Mutsuki), 63knots base torp speed (same as Mutsuki) and 5.4km ship concealment.
Well, what is the purpose of having a Kamikaze at this point? Mutsuki has same or better parameters in almost all fields now including torp alpha damage.
What WG said was premium ships do not necessarily have to be better than their counterparts but similar ships with different gimmicks. In Kamikaze case, its torps speed is the only thing separating her from the silver ships. Take the torp speed out of the equation as shown above, and it is a worse or same ship than its silver line sisters. It basically becomes inferior and hence serves no purpose as a premium ship anymore.
