Clan Battles: "Piranha" Season

[The_EURL_Guy]

Clan Battles Season 14 kicks off during Update 0.10.7.

Read it on the portal

[undutchable80]

[CruisingForMermaids]

Clan Battles recently won by clans called "KLLCV" and "BANCV". CVs deeply unpopular with the majority of the player-base.

 

So WG think it's a great idea to allow (i.e. mandate) DOUBLE CVs.........

 

You're clearly trying to kill this game, aren't you?

[REEEdamel]

[quickr]

[Horst_Koehler]

2CVs? NO, thank u!

[got_carried_by_Dark_haha]

I would recommend that @MrConway and @Crysantos do a wows stream on twitch with a condition both of them take t6 Löwenhardt and get to witness people actually unfollow the stream in protest.

 

Who gave them ideas like this, like seriously?

 

This is just contoversial and making people leave the game honestly. How the hell I am supposed to motivate people to play CBs lol.

 

But yeah, it's just my mimimi and protest to WG as am also CST Volunteer for WG. I really like this game but stunts like this makes me sad. They even tested t6 clan brawls I don't understand how hard it was to find it that it was so unpopular.

 

I have no problem playing t6 cbs with a cv but x2 of them is just illogical and worst is t10 maps lmao.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Hot_Loads]

Making the maps for a tier 6 CB season huge tier 10 maps is also a horrendous decision by WG, clearly designed to make CVs more viable & BBs not viable

[Kranklys8]

I spend some money to get Graff ........and its not accessible. Honestly......you can atleast  1 Graff per team.Anyway de most fun CB was T-9

Guys,

We regularly change the rules, format and maps of clan battles in order to add more variety to the team compositions and tactics used by players. Restrictions within the current season have been introduced for the same purpose.

We don't think that 2 CVs on the team will be an issue or an ultimatum choice this season. Despite the spotting capabilities and the relatively weak AA of the enemy ships at Tier VI, the CVs themselves don’t have the best attack potential. Оverall influence of CVs on the outcome of the battle in the current format is not nearly as high as it is in Random Battles.

The most important factor here is that at the Tier 6 mark, battleships are very powerful and have a huge impact on the battle results. Therefore, it might not be the best strategy to reduce the number of battleships on your team to add an aircraft carrier.

So taking into account the fact that set ups with two aircraft carriers probably are not the best and there is alternative choice, we believe that this is a good opportunity for players to have expand their pool of ship picks while implementing new tactics. In addition, variation in gameplay and meta can have a positive effect on this type of battle.

If, during the season, the statistics show that our expectations are not satisfied, we can quickly change the current restrictions - not only those on specific ships, but also ones on the number of ships of a certain class.

LOL, do you guys play this game? llke seriously? 2 average random battle CV's might not be an issue for gameplay, 2 CV's on comms, in the hands of good players from a top clan WILL most definately be an issue. Either you're being deliberately obtuse about this, or you know exactly this point & just won't admit it

LOL (20 knots BBs) on tier 10 maps, ensuring that the double CVs have time to kill any push before the BB get's into a position to threaten them

Of course you change the maps, but having tier 6 ships on tier 10 maps is designed to favour CVs over BBs, there can be zero question of this

Variation in gameplay? Or shoving CVs down our throats, we know WG spent a lot of time, money & effort trying to re-work CV's but it's time to admit it's a failure, the vast majority of the playerbase would actually prefer them back to how they were over this current iteration

It seems as if the one thing missing most within WG is the ability to look beyond the actual statistics- to truly understand the meaning behind those statistics.

 

You do realise that CVs will work together against a single target, right? that they will time drops to ensure that BBs are flooded down/burned down in a matter of minutes, it doesn't matter that the Alpha damage of CVs isn't so high on tier 6, it's the DOT that will do the work here & by having tier 10 maps, you've ensured that BBs are pretty much unviable (but then, that was your goal, right?)

[MuggyKat]

Lol,  we had a test run yesterday and the results are pretty one sided. Double CV + Smoke CA's or DD's = I win. Even as a non CV main playing the CV for shits and giggles. We pretty much killed a CA before he got to a cap. This was one CV using half a torp squadron and myself a full squadron. 2 and a half attack runs within 30seconds, dead ship. The BB's had nothing to shoot and just as Hot_loads said, just got burnt and flooded to death.

by making a lot of T6 ships basically unviable due to lack of self defense. gonna be fun to get cross torped for 2/3 of my cruiser hp pool with no heal whatsoever.

 

also surely a coincidence that the most viable T6 ships are pr€miums

[powerverde]

Can WG please make this clan battles season very, very short? Cause I'll be looking forward to the one that comes next.

I guess it will be another one of the CB seasons wondering if the rewards are worth playing, rather then to actually enjoy the gamemode

April first is already way past.

 

Stop it. Get some help.

 

(T6 CV sale when?) 

[arquata2019_]

Just imagine what two guys can do against a little tier 6 cruiser

(image from wiki wargaming, a nice image tbh)

i mean, an average or below average CV player? ok i guess (if it's 1 cv, 2 nope)

if it's a unicum CV player or even super unicum? good luck because you're gonna need it

[Galaxy011]

Just another proof WG hates and ignores competetive players.

Buddy , you can teach old dog new tricks , and WG need to face it that , large number of players base are player in middle age or getting there , cause wows is only game that let them compete on equal level with younger people , and you change , CV , change captain skills , add submarines  , and now how a 45 yo guy that want to start game will feel when he unlock his Amagi , and he find himself in battle against 

Midway - 3 Kearsarge , 1 Tone , 2 Johan de Witt , 1 Shimakaze ,2 Halland , 2 Balao , he can be sink without seeing enemy ! , go tell your bosses , is time to end this madness , and give players option to play without CV & Submarines let players have fun in battleship , cruiser & destroyer brawl .

Can your "clan" [WG] field 7 players? 

Why dont you guys play vs some good clans in the training room just for the lols. 

Take 2xBB and show us how not to get completely dumpstered by 2 Ryujos or Löwenharts.

I think we're stopping at gale this season.

Though as usual it will also be dependant to individual performance, but Clan Battles are mostly about cooperation of all ships within the team, much more than in other game modes.

So the team with two BBs can stick together, use smoke screen, have much bigger firepower etc.

What optimal CB setup should be for this season, according to you?

That would be interesting, indeed. But unfortunately we are very busy working on several things at the same time (atleast I can speak for EU WG clan).

But probably we can consider to fetch entire team to join Clan Battles this season, atleast once.
