General changes to the "Airstrike" armament on Dutch cruisers:

  • Reduced the time it takes for bombs to fall from 6 to 5 s.

 

Seriously, Dutch airstrikes add nothing good to the game, and here they are making them more effective. Genius balancing.

 

VII Eendracht

  • Changed the "Airstrike" parameters:
    • Maximum range increased from 10 to 11 km.
    • Reduced the time it takes for bombs to fall from 6 to 5 s.

Fortunately, this much desired ability starts at T6... so you have only to suffer double CV games at T3-T5, or go the extra mile and play T1-T2.

Well ..... 40-50 K damage and 3 fires in one strike was kind of underwhelming on that Alaska........

To be fair though, the Alaska got that megahit early in the game. I am 100% certain that the WG balansing department has made sure that such a thing can't happen at any other point in time during a game.

 

I mean, surely it is impossible to think that a Dutch cruiser could perform the "magical" saturation bombing airdrop on a half-health ship later in the game.

 

Kinda reminds me of Trinity from the Matrix: Dodge this!!

Back to T1-2, as someone said, or take the Bear Grylls way.

Don't worry, WG will find some tsarist era carriers to populate loltiers with planes:cap_tea:

I'm telling you guys.. it's the WoWP devs, they've broken in and taken over! It's the only explanation for all the plane spamming lately.

That guy is a WG employee, or as good as one. What do you expect? 

 

He's been taking handouts in the the way of content for ages.  Cant wait for the "WG Discord help" crew to arrive in bulk.

ok so you are that guy

Ok a piece of facts for you

You are wrong. Airstrike was designed for stationary ships. While they did nerf the strike potential damage a bit, its still bloody high and now very consistent against BBs. If you are are going to defend that unbalanced piece of crap, you are confirmed WG shill

OP airstrikes and default 30 seconds radar on an already powerful gunboat DD, just what the game needs to be even more fun and engaging

I see you're still as delusional as I remember you. Besides, would I not have a WG tag in my forum card if I were an employee?

What makes you right and me wrong, especially when you have never played these ships yourself? What even makes your completely unqualified opinion factual?

 

Apparently trying to be reasonable and avoiding  jumping on every outrage train is shilling for WG.
