[HELLA] Anthoniusii Players 1,188 posts 24,390 battles Report post #1 Posted August 29, 2017 Fact one : Its a game =true Fact two : It has to do with ships = true Fact three : It has many features that DO NOT fit with ships, battle physics or any sence of an arcade game based on somehow historical vehicles like ships. I explain: Question 1: How is it possible a captain to be able to determine how many chanches a HE shell has to ignite unless his is some kind of wizzard! Question 2: How is its possible someone to be able tp see through smoke and an other can not? Explain: Smoke was a refuge for light and fast ships to save them selves from bigger and stronger ships. Smoke was NEVER an ambush tool simply because even the crew in the ship used the smoke could not see through it either!!!!!!! Unless again someone on the crew is a wizzard! Question 3: How is it possible a torpedo loading time being smaller than a medium calliber gun shell? Question 4: How is it possible a ship with 500-1000 men crew with atleast 100 men watching the water arround the ship with binoculars not be able to see 60-100m long ships like Destroyers? Were they blind? Or destroyers had a wizzard like the one above that made them blind? Question 5: How is it possible longer burrel and biger caliber guns to have smaller range than smaller guns anyway? You found new physics laws or you simply transfered the artilery to 80's were Austria created the 1st 155mm gun with bigger range than a 203mm one ? Does WoWs relies on 1980's discoveries? Conclusion: 1: Do not become World of Tanks that made tanks disapear not by their size but by their class (that 90% are wrong placed). 2: Fix the spottng system in more "physical ways". 3: Unless you can not make torpedo numbers on board limmited make their loading times more "realistic". 4: If you do not want to remove the over penetration feature from big calliber guns to destroyers then add a damage to that according to the overpenetration section. A shell that makes a hole low causes floating, a shell thet penetrates the engine makes it stop. 5: Make smoke a refuge. Unless the ship does NOT have radar comsumable it MUST be blind and not able to see ships and fire on them. HE shells must have ignition values by their own not by the captain's magic skills! Also metal surfaces suffair less damage by fire than wooden ones! Also...Remove atleast 30% of the rocks and islands in your maps. They make the game "heavy" to old PCs and also makes the game like WoT. 99% of the banavl battles made to far away from shores!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HELLA] Anthoniusii Players 1,188 posts 24,390 battles Report post #4 Posted August 29, 2017 True....about the explosion 50% chance. About the hit ration though that depends on the distance and the crew training. See my avatar. In 1912 that ship (armored cruiser) had 90% accuracy against 4 battleships (that damaged them all), 2 armored cruisers etc! It sufaired three hits of small caliber that caused a spotters death!!!

Balance it to try and give each class an equal chance of being competitive with each other If a DD could only fire 8 to 10 torpedos per match, once it has expended its torpedos, what is the player supposed to do for the remaining 15 mins of the match? would players then want to play DDs? If a BB could one shot every target, why would any one want to play anything other than BB? Would you prefer the game to be 12 BBs at 20km from each other with no one to spot or harass the enemy team? 20 mins of border humping and sniping? Not for me thanks.

And what do theyt 100 Torps? near nothing because they allmost never hit while large caliber AP shells do the equivalent of a citadel hit were they in real live created a cople of holes mesuring their caliber that had no indication on com bat performance in real live? (at samar tehy exploded in the water after passing throgh the holes of CVEs failing to arm) or do you want to buly a DD that has shot his one realistic reload into a corner without him being able to do anything about it? You want the historical AA too? Of all the aircrafts that atacked Yamato only 10 out of 386 Planes were lost.... How many DD die without doing anything just trying to do their main job caping compared to BB thats have just herpa derping geting a single luckyhit firing from the blue line? Honestly im playing all classes but im sick of BB skipers that after geting buff after buff for them and nerf after nerf agist anything that could hurt them still are complaing when all they need to do is working on their positionin in relation to their own team to basically be 70%+ safe from most things.......

Historical fact and proven! Maybe you could quote you source of this 90% hit ratio. I assume you are talking about Battle of Elli. For a 30-40 min engagement any report i can find gives no indication at all to this amazing 90% hit ratio.

What ballance is this whan a Destroyer can launch 100 torpedos in 20 minutes time. Very True.. Lets put the ratio of BB to DD in a a battle somewhere between 10 and 20 DD to each BB and then we can not allow DDs torp reload. What ballance is this when a Battleship with over 150 gun on it can not sink a 60m destroyer in close combat? Balance Why do you think BBs had smaller Calibre guns from 10cm-15cm.. There main armament was to slow to track DDs. Destroyers were Designed to attack and sink battleships. You want an example of how hard it was for a BB to kill a DD. Look no further than Battle of Samar Yes 4 of the 7 DD were sunk. In a battle against 4BB and 8 Heavy and light Cruisers. The reason Fleet shad DD and CA/CL in them is a BB would struggle to hit a DD. Where IS THAT BALLANCE AND i CAN NOT SEE IT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ONE2] RAHJAILARI Players 3,160 posts 31,670 battles Report post #18 Posted August 29, 2017 I do not agree with everything mentioned here, BUT it might indeed be worthwhile thingking about them anyways. many players would actually appreciate it if WoWs were to work a bit more like a naval simulation, rather than pure arcade fantasy (of course, there are some who are fine with that too). This is because many, if not most people, who play naval war games are actually sk. "Naval Enthusiasts" and as such prefer even somewhat realistic (small deviations from the actual can be forgiven for game design purposes, of course) gameplay. With this in mind, I would like to add a side note to the original list of most baffling magic.. Namely: How is it possible that 381mm shells manage to "bounce" off flimsy 30mm deck armor and yet penetrate the magazine right though 300mm (or more) of heavy belt armor? If WoT worked in similar fashion than warships currently does, then every tank would immediately get ammo-racked when someone shoots directly at their frontal armor plate (the strongest part), while gleefully bouncing off the flimsy armor on the sides (but we can't have that, now can we?). Just imagine the howling we would get if such ridiculous mechanics were introduced in WoT, yet strangely in Wows, that is already happening. Of course this also means that the rear gun turrets in most ships have the combat value equal to a flower-vase since this mechanic and the fear of citadels prevents players from engaging with all guns, as ships were actually designed to do.

[ONE2] RAHJAILARI Players 3,160 posts 31,670 battles Report post #21 Posted August 29, 2017 Ahh, but that is precisely the point isn't it? The sk- auto.-bounce mechanic itself is deeply flawed and hare-brained in the extreme thus creating irrational gameplay mechanic, which has no reasonable justification anywhere near the real world of ballistics or armored warfare. Shells simply do not just bounce off from so much thinner armor only to penetrate the 10 times thicker one. This kind of machanic is the root cause of most of the problems experienced in this game at the moment: head on camping and passive gameplay - Check, not being able to use all your guns - Check, cruisers being easily citadelled and deleted at any range (thus rendering them problematic) - Check. Point being, that if the combination of actual ship armor and gun Dispersion Ellipse, as in real ballistics, had been considered and implemented, the way this game play would be tremendously more satisfying while rectifying many of the "problems" currently experienced with the basic gameplay without resorting to purely unbelievable and artificial gimmickry.
