There is something WRONG.

[gorgutzer]

Its hard to find Cvs but looks like not ONLY CVS NOW or MM problems...

[Marlekin]

Yea, where are all the tirpitzes?

[Smeggo]

Waiting for AP to return

No-one is playing Battleships because they were broken by the last patch. LOL

Yup, and in the meantime my premium is expiring and it will never be compensated by WG...

[Spartakus_84]

Well, that's what everyone wanted, no? More cruisers in the MM, you should be happy now!

 

[praetor_jax]

Is it really that bad? I mean i had a relativly bad session with my BBs, but i had the impression that enemy BBs had no trouble doing damage to me xD

They need to get even better rewarded for their minimal effort playstyle or they're gonna go cry in the corner until they're op enough again.

Battleship AP rounds are not working against cruisers in particular, they still seem to work ok against other battleships.

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

Well I just had a battle where I got one-shotted in my Omaha by a New York as I launched torpedoes at him and presented my broadside (as you have to).

 

I was on about 3/4 health at the time.

 

(My torps and the fires that I started sank the New York, so I was comfortable with the exchange)

[PhroX]

Now, I'll admit, the only BB I've played since the patch is the Arkansas so I can't claim experience of what things are like up the top tiers, but if you're having trouble with AP against cruisers....why not try HE instead?

[Tr1umph]

 

World of Warplanes, enough said.

 

Premium expired today, not gonna play a single game until they fix the current issue (AP ammo, Dogfighting expert, UI bugs...).

 

I recommend playing AC Black Flag if you want some naval action

[Babykim]

Yes, I stopped playing too till they fix these issue, exept a casual sealclub in my Umikaze.

Good idea, because when there is a cruiser with torps, 10 km away, chasing you and dealing constant damage while chasing you, you should just switch to damn HE, and maybe kill him after 8-10 salvos because afterall BBs are the CAs counter and should need more than 5 minutes to kill 1?

[Drycon]

 

Yup, and in the meantime my premium is expiring and it will never be compensated by WG...

 

Which means I won't renew it.

Which means WG will put up more bundles, cause subs drop.(and reasons ofcourse)

Which I won't buy! (because other reasons!)

Which causes the downfall of the game.

 

You happy now? You mean mean person. 

 

 

Sidenote, I haven't noticed much difference in my New Mexico, maybe the lower(ish) tiers are not that much affected?

Cruisers seemed to be bussiness as usual actually.

It's Battleship AP's doing only overpenetrations at full broadside cruisers making the gameplay just stupid. The current meta as it goes is:

 

• CA: Rush enemy BB's. If shot at, show full broadside.
• BB: Load HE and run away.
• DD: Kill each other
• CV: Hunt down burning BB's chased by cruisers.

thats why I didn't bought premium this month

Ah, so it should never take more than two air attacks to kill a BB, interesting.

Not for long, soon only cruisers are left. BBs are already almost gone. DDs will stop playing, because cruisers will just hunt them down and they don't have juicy targets like BBs. CVs stop playing while they don't have other targets than cruisers.

 

When rock-paper-scissors breaks it will break whole game. One class without counter breaks the whole thing.

[Drycon]

Normal amount of BB's so far and normal amount of cruiser kills although they do indeed "feel" a bit tougher.

funny thing that it is not that far from what happened IRL

 

how many battleship you see still built? last time I checked it was all about dessies, cruisers and less and less about carriers (but then we are living in times when destroyer can easily field aircraft.....)

 

I'd argue with DD ceasing playing - sure cruisers are harder targets than BB but in many cases still fightable with stealth and decent enought torpedo spam....

and those "good" DD's can pretty much oneshot most cruisers with well placed torpedo, so it's all about drop them as long as the guy won't make mistake

 

but then those screenshots looks scary....

I took my warspite out today APs were doing less than 1000 avg damage, HE even less, but did manage two citadels against cruisers but with HE.   Recent game at 2 brothers, going back to reinforce the weak flank escorted by a CA. A CA and DD came through the cap, my warspite's main guns were insufficient to kill either ship. My escort crippled both and my secondaries finished both off when the closed to finish my BB off. WoW have admitted the armour fix, balls up AP and they are going to sort it to allow BBs to actually survive against a cruiser.

A year of BBs crying that there are counters to them, and while BBs are still easily capable of dominating CAs that's not enough. Higher tier battles have been dominated by a fair while now by BBs who's only counter is other BBs (partly by straight out nerfs to CVs, and partly by the mirroring which makes them even rarer, and more and more ways to detect DD torps early, nevermind DDs modules blowing up if a BB HE shell lands anywhere close to it), so when you cry your bitter crocodile tears about CAs, who are still very easily countered, don't expect to be taken seriously.

 

You still have 3-4 times the effective HP, and at least as much dpm against a CA as it has against a BB. How much more do you need?
