waxx25 Players 1,296 posts 11,488 battles Report post #1 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Because I am. When randoms were full of BB's (you know, 5+ per match) my cruiser gameplay got smashed. I used to be #1 Zao player (by WTR) and got pushed to 4th because I kept getting violated by 5 BB salvos every 30sec. My DD gameplay was awesome though. Now, every Zao game I play I see 3-4 BB's and 3-5 dd's which is excellent in my books.....150k+ every match now. Unfortunately my Yamato stats have gone down BUT my Montana is great again, with less enemy Yamatos to f@cer@pe me, because I can still slap cruisers in the face with 12 shells at 18km. For all those haters though All that complaining about too many BB's.....ENJOY THE DD SPAM lol because I love my DD gunboats. I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield. Edit: I almost forgot.....thanks to all the German BB players, I love getting the silly high dmg salvos on you with my Monty without citadels lol.

And everyone else sailing broadside... Saw an Izumo yesterday with the Perm Camo (why!?) Completely clueless and broadside. Got a citadel and the guy didn't change course and got another 30s later. Wasn't AFK or crashed as he was firing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the current meta has its reasons in the missions and campaigns. Seems like WG finally managed to get all classes involved. And there seem to be more CVs around lately, my Atlanta approves. But dont relax, I see the next whine topics waving from the horizon. As far as I can see we will get a HE-rant again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Great_SCH Players 374 posts 3,672 battles Report post #5 Posted December 15, 2016 I think it is all just "natural". The more BB's will be in a game, the more DD's will be in a game to counter. As DD numbers grow, BB players play often with cruisers to counter that. The more cruisers will be in the game, it will shift back to more BB's again and so on. This is just the BIG PICTURE, there will be also grinding, the introduction of German DD's will boost the DD numbers and also cruiser numbers, at least for a month. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nethraniel Beta Tester 1,739 posts 1,782 battles Report post #12 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) My observation (totally biased ofc) is, that I have either matches with 5 BB, 4-5 DD, 2-3 CA or 2-3 BB, 1-2 DD, 7-9 CA in the last couple of days.... almost nothing in between.

Talladega_Night Beta Tester, Players 497 posts 5,412 battles Report post #13 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) ALL 4-5 DD per team does is cause everyone to camp the back of the map, so much fun. DD's should be limited to 3 per team, 4 at the most. 3 per team is ideal, have to keep your wits about you, while not being over whelmed by the insane amount of dd's Edited December 15, 2016 by Flashy_NLR 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,177 battles Report post #14 Posted December 15, 2016 Why should there be a reason to camp? Stay with your team and you have all information about enemy torpedos you need. Camping is a sign that still do not understand the basics of the game.

Talladega_Night Beta Tester, Players 497 posts 5,412 battles Report post #16 Posted December 15, 2016 Why should there be a reason to camp? camping is a think that people tend to do when they are to scared to scratch their ships, when there is 3dd or less i can usually convince people to help move up, when there is 5 dd's people just dont move.

DD's should be limited to 3 per team, 4 at the most. 3 per team is ideal, have to keep your wits about you, while not being over whelmed by the insane amount of dd's 4-5 DD's per side is not a problem, especially in domination if they rush the caps and knife fight each other. There are way too many people playing DD's like they are invincible. So most of the times, 4-4 or 5-5 DD's will end up being 2-3 DD's per side just after 3 minutes into the game. I would be worried more about those DD's who actually know what they are doing, leaving a cap, just to return later and punish those who dare to defend by pushing. I wish i was a smarter person to learn to play a bit more defensively, as in staying alive more and disengaging when needed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieGiant ∞ Players 31 posts 5,339 battles Report post #20 Posted December 15, 2016 I'm not sure it's gone but I'm noticing a reduction of BB numbers more often than before. Of course this is not backed up by actual data, just my impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ST-EU] Admiral_noodle Supertest Coordinator 6,337 posts 4,395 battles Report post #21 Posted December 15, 2016 Same impression here too. Sure you still get 5 BBs per side in some games but I've noticed the frequency is less and there are more dds around generally. Will see what DEDD effect there is in the new year.

[-CHL-] Fizzy_Odin Beta Tester 545 posts 4,334 battles Report post #22 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) new DDs especially IJN T8 gunboat are stronger than cruisers, cruiser with 155mm can't do crap against dds ( they can't do enough dam in short period of time = under 1 min ),, yesterday i try to kill Benson in my Kutuzov in point blank range ( 2.5km ) i shooted him 38 times with my HE and didnt kill him ( he left with 2250hp ) - on the other hand if you make mistake 1 time you will get shoted by BB for 4450-25000 HP, if you go point blank range with BB he will 1-shoot you or shoot kill you ( under 1 min ) --- so where is balance in that ??? I dont have problem that BB can kill me if I show him broadside or be with him in point blank range but than i should kill DD fast enough to make game work - thats why DD spam hit servers...
