0.5.3 - Goodbye Yubari.

[Verdius]

Comparing Yuubari to the Cleveland? The ship notorious for its good DPM, tiny citadel and all around decent stats for its tier with some of the best AA?

It can also not have anything to do with the fact that the Yuubari was the only ship at tier 4 with some semblance of AA going against people who probably play their first carrier game which automatically skews the balance. How is the Yuubari performing against ships? Just above Karlsruhe, but that is an entirely different topic. How is the Cleveland performing against ships? Best performing cruiser on its tier in terms of damage, xp, survival etc. (Also as of this moment on RU Cleveland has aircraft kill rating of 5.08 while Yuubari has 2.78 according to warshipstats)

Well done WG, Yuubari is definitly the Cleveland of tier IV

But.... a t4 carrier only carries 24-30 planes (48-60 in total) compared to the 36-48 (72-96 in total) of the t6 carriers. That's a reduction of about 35% in the total number of planes available to shoot down and 5.1 x 0.65 is 3.3, which is far closer to the Yubari's actual preformance

 

Knowing how WG reads statistics, this is probably how they justify saying that the Yubari is fine.

I have actually not tried the Yubari after the patch, and I might have to play it before forming an oppinion. But seriously even before these AA changes and AFT change the Yubari was pretty lackluster.

I know what we have to do:

 

We must turn off the AA guns in every battle. This way the plane kills per game will crash and WG's "it shoots down planes" argument will fail

Problem is if it's only good at shooting down planes, but you can't guarantee it'll actually be in a game with planes (unless you division with a carrier).

Which makes it a bit like taking the AS load out back when you could be the only carrier in the game - you press battle going "please please please an enemy Cv"
