RIP Jap DDs Aigle is the first proper gunboat at tier 6, assuming they fix HE. 45 knots with speed boost is sweet but overall I think it's balanced. T-61 looks like the next 'opps OP' ship they'll 'ban' after 1 year of sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-61 looks like the next 'opps OP' ship they'll 'ban' after 1 year of sales. Well they will probably first change some game mechanics and then ban it from shop. T-61 looks really strong ... too strong compared with opposition. Concealment, torpedo reload time, maneuverability and now hydro too ... WG simple don't know where to stop with strengths and where to start with weakness. Aigle look much better balanced. Definitely more interested in this one, hope we will get some reviews soon.

Aigle 3rd and 5th turret gun arcs are terrible, need to angle 50 degrees to shoot 4 guns, 57 degrees to shoot all 5 guns T-61 torp reload time can get down to 61s without Adrenaline rush Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BurningPoop Players 42 posts 4,712 battles Report post #7184 Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Hello and greetings everyone! Was too afraid to start a new thread, but couldn't contain myself from posting an interesting video. I'm a meh player myself, and by no means I'm trying to hate on WG or protect favorite ships, but recent changes to detection of smoked opponents and a video by a RU Youtuber has peeked my interest (the vid is in Russian and unfortunatelly there is no translation). Do you mind sharing your thoughts, is this how the new mechanic should work? (Atleast as of right now the mechanic defies all logic...for me) My biggest issue is that a DD is capable to detect another ship while being in smoke itself. English is not my native language, so apologies if this text was hard to understand. Edited October 21, 2017 by BurningPoop 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is just a much more powerful version of strike Lexi. Strike setups should go the way of the Dodo. It wouldnt suprise me if they actually made strike set ups the norm and did away with fighters. Imagine for a minute that NO CV had fighter planes at all. CV then becomes pure damage/a bit of spotting. Lots easier for them to balance - just plane health and torp damage. Reduces gap between skilled and unskilled - atm a skilled carrier player can do a load of damage and lock down the enemy carrier. Makes carriers a lot easier to get into. Makes carriers easier to play (no need to protect team, just focus on damage). Removes the depressing feeling of being utterly locked down by a better player Makes AA cruisers important again. Now personally I like the fighter play, strafes etc but it wouldnt suprise me if they did away with it in order for carriers to be more 1 dimensional and therefore easier foe the average player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageRat Alpha Tester 46 posts 4,315 battles Report post #7194 Posted October 23, 2017 There would then be nothing stopping carriers from obliterating each other in the 1st few mins of a match though. Maybe if they had a CAP that stayed within a few hundred meters of the home carrier purely for self defence it could work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
