dont even bother with playing t8+ cruisers now...

[Kutfroat]

...with the t8 arp Mission active. in every single t8+ game there are 4+ battleships now. cruisers up there allready felt obselete, now they are. especially the t8 ones are useless, except atago and kutuzow.

 

 

i would really like to play cruisers, but bb or dd are just much more effective, or let´s put it this way, they need much less affort to be effective, because you dont get one shotted for the slightes mistake.

there needs to be a bb hardcap of max. 3 per team. just like mechwarrior did it with classes. and no, dd dont need hardcapping, becaue if there are less bb, there will be more cruisers making the dd life hard.

Didn´t have problems with my Hindenburg, but Prinz Eugen and Hipper are ... difficult right now. So I would amend your statement by saying tier 8 is hard for cruisers right now, tier 9 and 10 is business as usual. (Can we please get a repair party on tier 8 CAs? At least on Hipper and New Orleans.) 

[beercrazy]

atago is still nice to play but I have parked the mogami and chapayev up as there is way way too many bbs per game

 

[kalamies]

Not sure if troll or bulls*it

[Timberwolf581]

If anything, I'm seeing more cruisers.

Why should it be either? Tier 8 cruisers except for certain exceptions are a weak spot in most lineups, especially if you are dependent on main guns. The insta-delete by battleships is also a common occurrence, all tough this is mostly due to mistakes by the cruiser skipper, still the statement stands that cruisers to be effective require a higher amount of situational awareness and sheer luck. (Believe me I know what I am talking about, I myself am a cruiser fanatic and am doing quite well in them). Furthermore there is already a hard cap on CVs and on DDs, so why not on BBs? What exactly is bulls*t or trolling in his post? 

[Msiiek]

Hard cap on dds? From when? Becouse I saw 6-7 dds per side games.

gotta be honest and your post is the most likely to be troll or [edited]

 

if you don't agree with what the op has posted then explain why and then have a discussion over the issue the op feels is happening rather than post the most mundane boring post you did that most people post just to get their post count up

 

 

I also agree on max cap on bbs but I feel max cap should be on all classes

Screenshots?

 

Because in 6000+ games most I have ever seen is 5 per side and lately mostly 3 or 4 MAX

thought it had been capped to equal or +- 1 per team and responding in tiers as well

cant remember em putting a hard cap on max numbers of dds per team but I very rarely see more than 4 per side during evening play (eu server)

Reward is worth the effort

 

[Spellfire40]

T8 you get the good module slot i find t7 more harsh. 

[Atris2nd]

New Orleans, New Orleans... Atleast those playing Hipper can enjoy having 10k more hp than that thing. I'm almost through with the grind and Baltimore still has less hp than the tier 8s.

it in deed looks damn sexy

[shamelesscreature]

...with the t8 arp Mission active

 

This is not a recent development. T8+ games have been comprised of more than 40% BBs (= an average of 5 BBs per team) week after week since mid or late August.

WG acknowledged that there are too many BBs and that BBs survive too long, but have chosen not to do anything about it. 

[Bismarck_chan]

I played my stock Hipper for a bit. I exploded a lot. Wouldn't recommend in the current meta.

[Panocek]

Already!? Unfair plane.

 

But seriously, hope she lives up to the hype. Unlocked Gearing will be by product in my case.

DDs you say?

 

 

But relax, this screenshot is from PTS, where WG was so smart to add a 'win 10 battles in a dd to get 24h free premium time on live' mission.

Makes for a very shitty test server testing, if the rewards are limited to one ship class.

Took my Ibuki out for its first ever game last night... 113k dmg and top of team with 1x devastating strike, 2x its a flesh wound and 1x double strike... seemed ok to me

You get oneshotted in any class if you make a silly mistake. i saw many BBs one shotted by other BBs or DDs. Saw many DDs one shotted by CAs or BBs. Saw many CAs one shotted by BBs or CAs. as you can see each class can devastate any other class.

I hope you get ibuki is t 9 and they talk about t8. 

 

Also i got kraken in anshan and aroung 80 k dmg. What that proves??

 

We all know that cruiser have hard time (especially usa) around t 7-8. 

[maderi]

i lvled my IJN BB line recently and to tell you the truth , my biggest problem in t7-10 so far has been cruisers , if the cruiser captain knows how to play is a real pain

I hope you get that the + bit of t8+ in the topic title means 8 and above.  9 is above 8.  To avoid further confusion, 10 is also above 8.

 

EDIT:  As a further help Anshan is a  destroyer - please stick to discussing cruisers 

[beercrazy]

tbh if I'm in my bbs in t8 upwards I just see cruisers as easy food but I will admit a well played cruiser can be a pain to any bb player

[ColonelPete]

The number of BBs did not change.

There were that many even before the ARP missions.
