I love playing DD but having 12 DD in a random is way too many. What do you guys think ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #2 Posted December 21, 2016 I've never seen any such numbers. The highest I ever got was a maximum of five DDs on a team and that was either during events that incentivized playing DDs or during hours when the player count was so low that the matchmaking doesn't have much to work with to try and even compositions out (such as late night or morning hours).

[WIND] Elenortirion Players 1,890 posts 2,549 battles Report post #3 Posted December 21, 2016 something changed during my week of absence? are these battles anyhow common in last week?, 6DDs per team was extremely rare occurence last time I had oportunity to play, and 5DDs per side was already "once per day" kind of sight.... as opposed to 5+BBs per battles... these were like every second battle 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anonym_UgMNTuWYVfiQ Players 163 posts Report post #7 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) It al dependence. If every game is '6+6 DD's format'. Than yes that's to many dd's But if 1 out of 10 games is 6+6 DD's? Than no. It's fine. Same goes for that 5+5 BB's that we got for a time (it seems better now). Every game was the same format = 5 + 5 BB's. That's crazy and boring. 2 out of 5 games with a '5+5 BB's forma't is just fine. You don't want to gave 2+2 CV's in each game? But do you never what a CV in your games? Edited December 21, 2016 by anonym_UgMNTuWYVfiQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_MfZ6T7iwWpUC Players 1,139 posts Report post #8 Posted December 21, 2016 Nothing wrong with 4 DD's in a game. But its rare to get that many. 5xBB with 2xCV is an issue as there is little chance for cruisers to be effective, especially if there are a couple DD's as well.

[IRQ] AnotherDuck [IRQ] Players 2,930 posts 7,510 battles Report post #9 Posted December 22, 2016 In the games today, I saw anything between 1+2 and 4+5 DDs in the teams (never actually just one per team or five on both). Usually 2-3 DDs per team, and higher numbers were rarer. Battleships, on the other hand, were usually 5+5. The least was 2+2, I believe, but that's rare. There are usually way more than that.

[RUMR] bouncer8409 Players 463 posts 31,462 battles Report post #10 Posted December 22, 2016 Shaka, read my post again, i never play BB, i usually play CA or DD and as a DD player i think too many DD's in each match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBS Alpha Tester, In AlfaTesters 2,556 posts 1,924 battles Report post #11 Posted December 22, 2016 Is it even possible to have more than 5 DD per team? I don't think I have seen anything more than that in months if I ever have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BONUS] Hedgehog1963 [BONUS] Beta Tester 3,211 posts 14,949 battles Report post #12 Posted December 22, 2016 Never seen more than 4 a side. Never can have too many. 12 D vs 12 at any tier would work for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I have seen anything more than that in months if I ever have. I'm not sure I've ever seen more than five of any ship type other than cruisers in a team. Maybe destroyers in T2 games, but even that I'm unsure about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bladezfist Players 349 posts 2,320 battles Report post #18 Posted December 22, 2016 Games with a ton of DDs are re-balanced within the first 2 minutes though, the cap circles become extremely deadly and after an initial engagement it's always back down to 2-3 dds per side.

So the best team wins No issue here.. 6 DD a team is better for BBs than 3 or 4. 6DD per team means a furball DD fight with BB and CA firing in! normally its not long till most DD are dead or very low health. 3 or 4 DD per team the first death is much more likely to be a CA or BB torped by a DD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zathras_Grimm Players 1,438 posts Report post #23 Posted December 22, 2016 I play Tiers V - VII and the numbers are all over the place. In a batch of 10 games I can be the only DD in game or one of 10 (5 each side). There have been many numbers thrown around so I will give it a go: DDs: 2-3 CAs: 4-5 BBs: 3-4 CVs: 1-2 My biggest hope is that WG can get the class balance right; there are so many cap games with uneven DDs a side.

That is indeed an issue. I'm beginning to think domination mode needs maybe specific MM. Parity of DDs by nation, not as when possible, but as a prerequisite, otherwise switch to standard.
