No, seriously, bravo WG, bravo!

[beani5003]

I don't know what you did to BB's other than the accuracy thing, but they are bloody amazing know, no more 7 hits and only 1030 damage broadsides. Damage is more regular and over-all a lot better.

So, bravo, WG, bravo.

let them whine, serves them right for sailing in a straight line.

[Userext]

Someone was talking about BB accuracy receiving overall buff and at 3km range most accuracy. I didnt believe the guy much. Lets see if this gets the BB whines a bit lower. Maybe then they can hear our whines about DDs. I am starting to think going on RU forum and spamming bunch of UP DDs threads actually

probably get more attention that way, but their isn't a bias, no sir, none at all.

[General_Kunde]

Don't cheer too early.

I remember one week after a patch in WoT where accuracy was just amazing. You could aim for weakspots and just hit them.

Best week in WoT, but then came the silent nerf and everything was reverted to how it was before.

This was the point I quitted.

 

Let's see and hope.

I also read something like this, here:

http://blog.worldofwarships.eu/patch-notes-0-4-1/

 

"For all ships, increased gunfire accuracy at close quarters (i.e. at distances of 0.2 km to 4 km), which resulted in a minor increase in the accuracy of fire at medium- and long-range distances"

 

After colossal facestomping in 0.4.0 this was right thing to do. I wonder if it include secondaries, but seeing my upgraded New Mexico couldn't scrape a paint from Clemson on 1,2 km i guess not.

[Zenith]

I doubt it will last. Either WG will stealth revert the changes again in a few weeks, or the community will whine so hard about BBs being too good, that WG will offset the buff with some horrendous nerfs. They were always doing that in WoT, to the point that it became a bit of an in-joke whenever something non-Russian was buffed, that it almost inevitably meant big nerfs were on the way.  

 

Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I've seen how they 'balance' their games, and it's always massive ups and downs. Someone needs to introduce them to incremental changes.

it doesnt include secondaries. But you can use a flag and module for it. Some secondaries fires AP some fires HE. which is kind of a problem when it comes to dealing with enemies.

havent seen such stealth nerfs here. Except servers being weird before nearly all patches

[havaduck]

atrocious as ever ..... < 7% hit rate for me on the games after the patch and that _includes_ the 0 dmg "first and second shell type" (wth?! just write AP and HE, since I dont drive around in 0000001001-ship class also) hits.

Most silent nerfs happen silently in the eye of the beholder.

It's nice to have such faith in WG, but those of us who came from WoT know better.

Haha I made that comment largely based on my experience in WoT.  Every patch there would be a flurry of screams from people about how things had changed but with not even a hint of evidence in sight.  Usually the same ones who would claim MM was rigged against them. Personally.  How else could they possibly have tom-tom-tomato stats in XVM?

[Gunship14]

Maybe I got incredibly lucky but, first game I played today I got 160.000!! damage in my North Carolina. And that was me dying pretty early, since it was me and 2 Tirpitz vs cruisers, more Tirpitz and cruisers while our team was going the other side. Also got 7 citadels.

If you'd used XVM, you would have seen just how strange the MM really was in that game. All red players on one team, and all green on another? Yeah, that sure is random... uh huh.

That scenario is hardly representative - sure you get massively uneven sides sometimes and sometimes they are a lot closer but that is in itself randomness.  Things like platoons - generally - group like skilled players together which skew things but as a... well-above-average-but-way-below-unicum player I found it was pretty... well... random whether i would be on the 'better' (i.e as considered by XVM) or worse team.  Perhaps slightly more often i would be on the better team but only by virtue of me being on that team.

 

Anyway, it was not my intention to de-rail this thread so I'll stop now.

[Pivke]

hows the Colorado now?? did it turn in to an awesome ship to play? XD

wait, isnt this why dd's keep getting nerfed? hehe

No, but that is normal and intentional. You see, Russian mentality enjoys the strong crushing the weak, whereas Western thinking enjoys fairness. To the common Russian, however, fairness is nothing but the weak begging for mercy.

I am NOT joking, my Russian co-workers explained this to me at great lengths.

[Sake78]

So, what you`re saying is the MM is trying to boost people upwards of 50%, by boosting better player`s WR upwards, while at the same time lowering the ones with already abysmal WR? Because that is exactly what such MM would achieve.

 

Now read again what you wrote, read what it actually means.. and presumably facepalm and drop the conspiracy theories.

This buff is so minimal i can hardly imagine smaller one. Not massive for sure.

Flag and module don't change nothing. Maybe on IJN 7+. Rest of the BB's are still in the deep dark.

Every DD that's going straight line surely is going to be nerfed into scrap metal.

You mean that Russians ruled the whole world since forever?
