FDR Nerf

[petamer]

Honestly you had so much time to nerf this thing and now after half a year you decide to nerf a steel ship for 33k steel. That is absolutely unfair. Steel ships are expensive and should not be nerfed after 1-2 months passed.

[SV_Kompresor]

And why not?

[Bindolaf_Werebane]

1. It was 100% certain this would happen.

2. Is the nerf that bad? Remains to be seen.

3. I know it sucks for people who just got it. I got it early and had hundreds of fun games. Even if it's crap now (which I doubt), I got 33000 steel worth of jollies.

4. Time to check out MvR!

[Aixin]

Its fine its Not much worse after those nerfs. 

[petamer]

Its just annoying nerfing such a high cost steel ship after 6 months, they could have done it in the first 2 months. At least MvR could come back

Really? You are complainig about a minor nerf to dmg on F(ucking)DR?

Pathetic. 

 

Btw. I also have FDR. 

[ExplosivesDeliverySystem]

You must be new to WG, they always let overpowered stuff sit for at least a year, THEN nerf it, unless it's literally braking the game. They at least used to do it in World of Tanks too (though I haven't played that in a few years at this point)

[Miscommunication_dept]

I also have FDR and only bought it last month.

 

I don't think nerfing these high value ships is a good idea. However, this is a small nerf and FDR is a horrible thing for the game so I'm fairly happy with the change.

[CptBarney]

Pretty irrelevant nerf too be fair, anyone above a PR of 1100-1200 probs won't even notice much those above 1400 probs won't even register it. 

 

Thankfully peegee aren't doing sledgehammer nerfs anymore, but chisel nerfs where they hack away at it multiple times instead smashing a huge hole or two large dents into it.

I fear you may not be in entirely the right place if you're hoping for sympathy apropos a CV nerf...

1. Yes, after a while WG caves to whatever screeching the "playerbase" and does some minor changes.

2. Yes, FDR is a worst Midway as it was and now got worst. People will still screech because its a CV so its pointless to nerf it since there are no real balance with the ship itself.

3. Nothing changed that much with the ship properly, you just are better off playing Midway ... however nerfing it just makes it a even worst ship that it was.

4  Speaking of MvR, that was another ship nerfed due to the "playerbase" perceived OP, the fact they are looking into German bomb dispersion (outside Loew) shows the problem with those one-trick ponies and what happens when said one-trick no longer works due to nerfs. Also said "playerbase" will complain about the changes because they are only allowed to perform a mediocre trick and be bad at everything else ... that is balance.

Learn how to play surface ships better first. FDR has been out for a year and it’s been broken ever since and you obtained it exactly because of this reason and now crying because it will make it just a little more difficult to grief people. Spoiled hypocrite.

[Asatori]

Jeez it's hardly a nerf now is it. still OP as crap. 

They should reduce the health of planes, so the combined AA of 5 ships might finally be able to shoot down 1 plane of FDR. 

[Ocsimano18]

Soviet CVs are coming, let’s do some planned obsolonce on previously popular CV to be able to make money on the new one. Long time no see, huh?

ikr

Kremlin was shouted as 'OP' becoz it actually did the BB role well, of tanking and dishing it out, and had the crap maneuverability and exposed cit, so if it made a mistake, its punishable. Russian Bias btw.

Petro will soon follow Krem's footsteps. Its designed to be an AP focused tank, which it does well, and when they will all complain, they will nerf her to the ground, and only make the armor, the standout feature. 

And everyone will say, they are useless and blame WG for "nerfing" them too hard.

I don't play FDR to win lol. I play it to farm fatties and laugh as they burn and flood.

[Redcap375]

Same old.

 

Nerf the old to let in the new. Only nerfed it now after how long???

 

Simple....As...That.

 

And if you think otherwise, you need some help.

This is not a nerf, this is chemotherapy

Killing the ship and hurting the game? The latter sounds like everyday for WG.

[HMS_Britannia]

It's not even a nerf you will hit maybe 4 instead of 5 torps and a little bit less damage with your bombers but the pen diff will make no difference at all

Yes, I really dont like Kreml as its short range, seems to have a dispersion the same as KM battleships and I am not seeing the tankiness that much ... Montana feels better and I feel that plays better. Game have a lot of rather unpleasent ships that are called "OP" because if its garbage at everything but one of two areas then it should be good at said areas but they are judged as if their bad stats dont matter, take FDR ... great Alpha sure, never mind the slow planes, glacial regen, lack of a following up strike, garbage torps and Midway dive bombers actually do more damage ... no, lets focus on just the alpha.

 

As much "spreadsheet" is thrown around, certain people arent above of using the exact same thing to demand nerfs based entirely on very selective reading of stats. I feel that the only ships that are acceptable for the "playerbase" are ships with bad stats allaround with some mediocre capabilities or simply entirely average ships ... outside their own bias.
