BURN BABY BURN

[ToxicWomble]

Anyone else sick to death or being burnt to death time after time after time? Every time I play a BB or come to think of it cruisers I`m being killed by fire from DD`s,Cruisers and even BB`s...I have all the usual skills and modules but still die from fire......WG has to nerf the percentage of setting fires to ALL ships,  I am getting fed up of continuesley burning and it`s getting to the point where it is no longer fun to play.. so much so I am thinking of deleting the game to go and play with my ships in the bath.....

[SV_Kompresor]

Aaaa, no they don't need to nerf it...it's probably because you waste your repairs on just one fire

[Niibler]

Some people just like to watch the world burn.

and no i wait for more fires then turn on my fire extinguishers and its not a whine it is fact, as i said previously i play all ships and burn in them all,yes i burn other ships as well but tend to use the correct shell type for the ship I`m shooting at.......

As an avid BB player, I can't remember the last time a fire killed me in any situation that wouldn't kill me regardless of fire anyway.

 

Since it's considered light damage the repair consumable can replenish nearly ALL damage taken from fire at approximately 1 repair ~ 1 full fire ratio depending on your ship upgrades, captain skills and signal flags.

 

Not overextending is the trick. Limit the number of HE spewers that can fire at you (either by exploiting terrain, range or simply killing them) and you'll find yourself farming those fires just to get a couple Fireproof and Dreadnought rewards for the signal flags.

Nope

[Aotearas]

Nope

 

 

Smell that?

 

Smells like victory!

 

 

You must've gotten very lucky with your fire timings to catch him with repair on cooldown all the time ... or spent a LOT of time kiting him and tickling away with single fires

Unfortunately nothing surprising.

Growing BB popularity brings more whine here on forums and not less

 

The biggest problem imho is that BBs are both simple and very hard to play.

 

It looks like an easy class (especially in mid/lower tiers) but it is not in fact, so many people are having wrong expectations & impressions.

Latest Q&A (10 August). Source

[Disclaimer: please be reminded that the following information comes from the Russian-speaking community and thus certain information may not apply to other clusters.]

1. Battleships popularity in general

The statistics regarding the RU-cluster from January to July show that battleships popularity is stable and even slightly increased. If we take all standard battles played on the cluster during that period, battleships representation increased from 32.9 to 35.1%. Thus, they make up slightly more than a third of all ships. There is no reason not to expect a slight increase in popularity with the release of the German battleships, or, more accurately, there is no reason to expect a decrease at least.

 

2. Battleship damage distribution (damage received)

During the last 30 days, battleships largest source of damage received comes from AP shells (42% - 45.6%), torpedoes plus flooding (19.9% - 20.2%). HE shells account for 16.8% - 17.8% and fires, 14.5% - 17.6%. Also remember that citadel damage can be healed by 10% (that is of course damage from AP shells and torpedoes direct damage), damage to the superstructure, stern and bow by 50% (here we can also add damage from HE shells and bombs), and damage from fires and flooding can be fully healed. That is why a badly damaged battleship can withdraw from battle to heal up and come with as much as half of his HP back.

 

3. Combat effectiveness

Regarding the potential for dealing damage, battleships do not disappoint, combining the roles of damage dealers and tanks. Their concurrents are carriers and in about every category, there is a tough fight going on between these two classes regarding who is the best.

Destroyers and cruisers, which, according to some players, burn the poor battleships and flood them under waves of torpedoes cannot even dream of dealing that much damage. Moreover, according to those same players, battleships are easy food for these classes since they have a lot of HP on which to feed.

Regarding winrate, battleships are about the same as other classes.

Their AA is normal (only cruisers are above them because of their barrage ability).

Survivability (% of battles in which a ship has survived until the end) for battleships is considerably higher than for cruisers or destroyers.

 

4. A very brief summary

Battleships are played. Battleships survive. Battleships inflict damage. Battleships are a good and useful class. If we were to buff them, by increasing their survivability (especially against fires and HE shells), they would be overpowered. Our game would become World of Battleships. And that is bad. 35.1% popularity, we can live with that. But it is bordering on being too much.

So, if we were to follow players' suggestions, we would have to nerf them in another way. If they had a better survivability, we would have to nerf their damage for example, and according to our experience, such change would not be well received by players.

That is why we do not plan to make any considerable changes to battleship balance or to fire mechanics.

It was on the public test so I'm guessing it was a low tier Seal who jumped into the Yamato as soon as he could but had no idea about T8+ gameplay. I just kited around with my trigger held down Atlanta style while he shot at the two BB's behind me (who were shooting at a different BB)

[Sub_Eleven]

Yay, another someone burned down my precious battleboat thread! It was almost 24 hours without a new thread, started to get worried.

[ColonelPete]

Do not get focussed...

[AgarwaenME]

I thought we might manage through today with only one BBaby whining about CVs and one whining that his secondaries didn't kill DDs like a full sized CA would (because having two ships at the cost off one is "balanced")...

 

but nooo, we'll get our daily "omg fire" thread too. 

[MudMonkey]

[ASharpPencil]

So no more that... I think not.

 

 

[thestaggy]

You are barking up the wrong tree I am afraid.

 

Cruisers are UP, HE is weak, ''teamwork in randoms" and you are just a BBaby that needs to L2P. 

 

Or something to that effect.

 

 

[Donar79]

Anyone else sick to death of daily OP Fire, flooding, torp etc.....threads? 

 

Now go on tell us how bad xxx (put in a theme) did to u....And NO u are absolutely fine, don´t change ur play style everythings ok with that

[Tugnut]

LOL youtube tip hints play tatics lots on there... even found this on there

 

[piritskenyer]

Last time I died to DoT it was a triple fire and a flooding, but I killed all three ships that did that to me. I think it was an even trade.
