[S-O-M] MadBadDave Players 1,355 posts Report post #1 Posted November 5, 2021 Just played a random which sums up the absurdity that is WG, I played Bismarck (19 point skipper) and my first encounter with a Zieten, omfg WG really are clueless and oblivious to power creep, not only that but a load of BS paper ship. My Bis has full secondary build, stats for secondaries (which started firing at same time); Bismarck : 47 hits 10450 damage Zieten ; 129 hits 23652 damage. So a world famous ship plays second fiddle to a Russian inspired Mickey Mouse paper ship ?. Yes I killed Zieten ironically with CQE but the above clearly highlights power creep. Power creep stories on this forum are all to common, can the stupid developers get a grip and buck up, because I bet if it was Bismarckski the stats would’ve been different. While I’m typically raving I would like to congratulate the equally TAF player base tonight. Anyone else experienced the laughable secondary rate of the paper ships compared to REAL ships ??. 10 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rigor. WTF is getting gud got to do when secondaries pop off, you can clearly see the huge gap between the 2 botes, you don’t happen to drive an Oland do you😉. And FYI the reason my CQE sunk cheatin was because my mains did all the damage, while the green weekend boaters did their usual thing 💩. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HPF] Ocsimano18 Players 3,476 posts 13,949 battles Report post #20 Posted November 6, 2021 I’m happy that there is a new brawling line that actually works and fun at the same time. Maybe it powercreeps an already powercrept line, but it’s a small price to pay. The new ships are tech tree and easily obtainable for anyone, so stop the whining and join the fun. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ATRA] Srle_Vigilante Weekend Tester 1,233 posts 10,342 battles Report post #21 Posted November 6, 2021 Must be the Zietens only redeeming feature.... Considering the entire broadside is a shot trap because of hull mounted secondaries, and the entire nose is 27mm. 1 forward point turret? Bruh... Citadel is not a turtleback and its above the water line... sheeesh There's a reason why Dreadnought design stops at tier 6 - 7 tops. And you actually think The Schlieffen can power creep the Kurry with this? Yeah no, this line is a joke. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the power of a ship is defined by her secondary damage? Interesting... And we completly ignore that your "weaker" ship sank the "more powerful" ship?
