[VPM] OldSchoolFrankie [VPM] Players 989 posts 20,645 battles Report post #1 Posted December 21, 2020 WG don't want to test that long and the spreadsheet probably says everything is fine with the new Captain skills. I think some new Captain skills are absolutely overpowered and after we all have skilled our Captains for free, they will start to nerf/buff skills/ships and we have to adjust with Dublons.. With which skill/ship do they start? What is your prediction? My prediction: Halland Torpedo speed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first prediction is that I'll be using as few captains as possible for the first few weeks of the rework, precisely to avoid spending as much as possible on rebuilding captains after the inevitable nerfs/buffs. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BOATY] The_Chiv Players 1,592 posts 18,060 battles Report post #8 Posted December 21, 2020 First to be nerfed will be Sniper, then that dd dispersion gimmick and then that cv torp defense gimmick. WAIT!!!. I forgot this is wargaming, probably something on the cruiser line cause WG loves beating up on cruisers 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean CVs get 50% reduced effect of torpedo protection.....that's up to 25% increased damage! BBs get 10% flat torp protection buff. meanwhile torpedo dds get shafted...again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-RNR-] Maris_Piper Players 2,012 posts Report post #10 Posted December 21, 2020 That's a hard one, I guess if one of the Captain Skill Screw Up's causes problems to CV's it will be that one, or anything that slows the cash flow to WG of course 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With smth. really stupid: I guess they lower the % of turret rotation for BBs bcs Kremlin too OP with it. No trollface here btw. I mean it! They pick a completly non-defining skill and "adjust" it, so they can say: see, we keep balanz. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[RAIN] GarrusBrutus Players 3,711 posts 12,557 battles Report post #12 Posted December 21, 2020 They could have made such great new captain skills that incentivise teamplay, pushing, playing the objective, etc. Could have been a turning point in the ever declining state of teamplay.

[POPPY] Chaos_Umbra [POPPY] Players 1,662 posts 20,300 battles Report post #14 Posted December 21, 2020 TBH other than the load of OP CV skills a lot of the bonuses from the skill are so small that it isn't even worth picking them, like Repair Party and Damage Control on BBs 3% buff, this equates to you getting the skill up 2 seconds quicker, not really worth it, for DDs the BFT replacement is also worthless as it is now a 5% reload buff half of what it used to be and for most Gunboats this equates to about 0.2s off the reload, all for 3 commander points, and if you want your 10% buff back you need to pick a 4 point skill that nerfs your concealment by 5% and only buffs your reload when spotted so is essentially the original 3 point skill but more expensive and worse, it is the same for most of the skills, only decent % buff is that torpedo damage reduction for CVs that is outright broken... Also I think all the skills that increase shell/Torp/bomb/rocket damage should be removed, there was a reason WG gave those values to the ships in the first place... I will say though the AP Shell damage buff almost makes it worth while using AP in Italian Cruisers as it means the AP alpha is just a little lower than the more reliable SAP Alpha... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Id only use that skill on BCs, since they can get citadels more reliably and was it 7%? more damage kinda could make sense. Atleast better than the 5% for BBs, which is a huge noobtrap. Also gotta remember, that AP can overpen, while SAP cant. So you really need to get citadels before it makes sense to use AP over SAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it would need to be like a 20% buff to AP damage to make Italian Cruiser Ammunition choices similar to other Cruisers, you know HE/SAP for angled stuff and AP for broadsides, not what it currently is; if you can guarantee citadels AP, for everything else there's SAP...

[R-D] JeanLouisII Players 231 posts 11,031 battles Report post #17 Posted December 21, 2020 German BBs will get better dispersion on secondaries or maybe something with the brawler skill for cruisers, since its nearly impossible to activate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] 159Hunter Players 4,528 posts Report post #18 Posted December 21, 2020 A better question would be: how long before meaningful changes will be made. I mean, it took them almost two years to do something that actually reduces hosho clubbing. So don't get your hopes up on the sniper bb thingy or reduced torp protection... My prediction: they wait 2 - 3 months before doing some useles changes (see guys, we listen to your feedback) and maybe onebor two ship updates... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
