I can't speak for the gold league but I'm happy bronze will be a touch easier to escape, as a new player I'm not having fun when facing Giulio's and Kamikaze's.

Don't worry, next season is t6, so it will be CVs and Graf Spees.

CV's in... Ranked? Really? Now that I think about it, tier V isn't so bad after all.

Isn't it the same as when we had Save a star ? I mean before they started experimenting with it ?

Quote

• Battles on the Trident and Warrior's Path maps utilize the Arms Race mode.
• In the Silver League, battles on the Warrior's Path map can be fought in the Domination and Arms Race modes.

Why WG ? Why do we need to have mixed mode Ranked ? On top of CVs again ?

 

Either make it all Arms Race or all Domination ....

[johncl]

T5 ranked was not so good ..to many P2W players ..T7 ranked is fun ..I normally rank out there ..No way im playing gold F that  

[TonyStarkshoudnthavedied]

Arms Race in ranked... just great. Arms race is already a plague in random, and now it will ruin ranked. Arms race is won by the team who can better camp its larger shipős while the DDs try to collect buffs and not die in the process.

[TonyStarkshoudnthavedied]

At least the superships are not allowed now in gold. T10 Cruisers will have a chance to play without being eliminated immediately after spotting them.

PEF will be the choice of weapon. T6 CVs against T6 ships are not so much worry, they are weak. Again cruisers have the most to worry, DDs will just evade the slow planes, BBs will not care much.

Yup. I think so. For Bronze cowboys like me it's a guaranteed rank out every 2 weeks.

You must be new. The slowest planes at T6 do 98kn minimum. That's around 3 times as fast as the Guepard does without speed boost. You aren't running away from them.

Without massed AA the ships are free fodder for skilled CV players. And with Serov/Loewenhardt/Ark Royal being a thing, you will have bad games when CVs are around.

T6 CV is strong even against most T8 ships in a smaller format. This was in T6 and T7 Ranked. Imaging the seal clubbing with only poor T6 ships i will be doing. Bearn is not consider an overpowered CV as well. 

Can't wait to sink your PEF with citadels using only a single flight of AP bombers!

I have almost 25k battles. So, yes, I'm new. I don't care about stats, I care about my experience. T6 CVs do not influence battles as higher tier CVs and if I'm in a BB I can pretty much ignore them, in a DD just make sure I avoid detection early in the game. Their planes are slow, not to run away from them but for the number of attacks they can do, bcs it takes forever for them to arrive to their target. I have no bad games when CVs are around so I do not expect to have now.

Lol, so you don't try to cap in a DD in Ranked? Do you just hide behind your team all game. BB avoiding torpedoes and AP bombs, again I'm thinking you just press S key at the start of the battle. 

 

Forget about stats, you statement clearly shows you have 0 idea on how to play to win in Ranked.

I cap well, you need 40 secs to cap, u time it well, the CV will not get there in time to catch you with its planes. Because they are slow. You are pretending that you don't know anything about low tier gameplay or what?

And yeah, I have no idea about playing ranked.

[SurfaceFish]

I do well enough at lower tier Ranked, could always be better. You are the one sounds like you have no idea about have CV interaction works. 

 

Please MM don't put this guy on my team, Im tired of carrying potatoes🙏 

 

Yes you are a potato based on the few people in your clan. Unless you are super unicum hiding amongst poor new players!!

The reason for this is because the star saving has changed - you can now save only 1 star in bronze instead of 2, and you can save 1 in gold instead of 0.
Therefore the amount of stars required was adjusted accordingly.

@Seraphice why have the qualification stars been retained? 

 

I don't see the point. Surely qualification to the next tier would  be to simply rank out in the previous tier?

 

If this were a Football league, coming first would guarantee promotion.

 

I worked hard to rank out in Silver, and now have to win another 5 battles on the bounce to even start at rank 10 in Gold.

 

How is this fair on anybody?

Star saving is a mechanism that misses the core flaw of ranked.

You see, winning or losing ranked is much more determined by bad players than it is by good ones. So stars should be distributed based on actual battle performance (or a derivative such as experience) primarily, with win/loss only coming in later.

I have to say I disagree with this very much - The win should be what counts in the first place.

In my opinion it should be the only thing that matters.

 

And over a large number of battles, the "RNG" of teammates is not really a reason for this. After all, you have less teammates than enemies, and you are the only constant factor in every battle.
