Order indicates inability to plop Omahas in one salvo with a BB.

 

Obtain that ability before coming to a judgement.

I agree. BB  are f retarded right now. Serioulsy, why play it ???? You just get hit and maybe hit .....10 shots ????

 

And cruiser/DD are super fun and earn the most XP

My order is BB > CA > DD > CV (never tried that, so comes last for now).

 

If you just order according to fun, there is no universal truth, only tendencies of the masses.

For me it was:

DD, CA, BB and I couldn't care less about CV.

 

Now it is:

CA, DD, BB and still not half a sh*t given about CV.

 

Future:

CA, BB and not sure about DD's.

 

Next patch with the rudder buff on all ships, I'm afraid I'll drop DD's to.

Might even drop the game due to lack of playable content.

For me it's CV > BB = DD > CA > CL in terms of damage in battle. Which does make a lot of sense.

 

For fun I think CA > BB > CV > DD > CL. I can see why Omaha/Murmansk/Cleveland is considered OP, but the low shell velocity is no fun for me. Had a game of North Carolina (me) vs Iowa, where I closed to 3km facing forwards with 6 guns at his broadside and scored 5 citadels in 2 salvos for the kill, had another game of Aoba (me) vs New Mexico + Nagato + Omaha + 2 enemy CL at longer distance, where I charged New mexico and killed him at 2km range with torpedoes, then scored multiple citadels at less than 5km range to kill Omaha, then discovered my torpedo tubes were destroyed and I died to Nagato. Those are the kind of games that makes this game fun  and memorable for me.

CV is not fun to play at all. Unless you only like results not actual game play. In which case you would probably love them about now.

I used to be a dd-adventurer, then I took an arrow to the engine deck. Now I drive carriers.

I like DDs most, followed by CVs (yah, I actually enjoy their gamplay while I don't consider them op because I now their weaknesses and how to counter them due to playing them myself), and then I am a bit undecided between CAs and BBs, but probably prefer BBs because CAs start looking more and more like average nothing to lose, nothing to gain easy but boring mode. And by "easy" I don't mean that I do especially well in them, far from it, they just don't seem to offer the depth of gameplay other classes are providing.

 

Now with the upcoming rudder shift time changes, I suspect my enjoyment of DDs to go down quite a bit. I also believe that the game will suffer depth from this change, which will make the whole game a bit more bland, while also making DDs unplayable for me. Maybe I'll become a pure CV player with occasional BB or so from then on, will see.

yeah . no two ways about, but mind being a cruiser means you have to deal with BB's other cruiser's,dd's and of course carriers and their aircraft, so you do have a full plate, you can only rely on your self, certainly not any friendly BB's.

Noo... depends so much on player, that's why we have different highly specialized classes in the first place. Doesn't depend so much on how good you do either, though I guess when you land 2 devastating torpedo runs in one game, it keeps you going through a good bunch of matches where you die a noobish dead right in the beginning.

 

Destroyers (548 avg xp): stealth and strike capacity rocks my boat here, no surprise for an old Minmatar ;)

 

>

 

Battleships (628 xp): Oddly with a diametrically opposed combat style, go strategic and think every move you make. Guess it's the distinct role that attracts to this class, plus something similar to heavy tanks in WoT, felt comfortable in those.

 

 

Carriers (917 xp): The last 2 tiers are a bit of a toss, only have 14 games in a carrier too, so not sure of ranking here. I guess CV playing attracts me with the bird's eye view, the CV player is the commander in the team and can easily adapt his moves to what's happening in the battlefield, plus you often end up thinking, where can you best support your team, or perhaps you could take that BB if that destroyer moved in to attack and so on.

 

 

Cruisers (614 xp): TBH, they leave me a bit meh... Not nimble or stealthy enough to do the DD jobs, not strong enough to stand in as BB. In a cruiser, you end up chasing the DD until you see the first BB which doesn't outnumber your team and start shelling it with teammates... losing the last inkling of sense of any role you might have.

 

That said I've mostly played tier IV so far, so cruisers for example don't have good AA to make you think of how to counter the enemy air player or so.

it's not a rudder buff, it's fixing the displayed time which was wrong

100% subjective.

 

Mine is CA>DD>BB>CV

 

DD would be my No 1 choice style-wise, but theyre UP as fck, esp in higher tiers, BBs are too slow for me, and I dont like RTS, so CVs are out.
