Or should we all switch to pan-Asian DDs?

Why do I have a certain idea about your skill playing the game?

"No, I don't want to be the top XP source for BBs blapping me with AP shells"

You forgot to add option "No I will be busy creating whine threads in the forum".

 

I suppose the OP has a point, the PA DD torps are going to make life even more miserable for cruiser players, so fewer tasty XP pinata for the BB to feast upon.

Because as usual you have no clue?

That is why I have an idea about your skill, not knowledge...:Smile_facepalm:

Yes it will be interesting to see what will be the impact on cruisers. Better team up with a DD to scout the DW torps.

OP forgot an option.

 

"I will play BBs even more because all the BaBies will be crying in a corner so maybe it is an opportunity for some real BBrawling"

Do u really think that those DDs gonna impact the random BBaby? When they release a new BB line ofc all the BBabies are going to play them. I dont think we will see as much playing those DDs. Maybe lowtier, then they realize they cant torp other DDs, some will scream hax n cheats while others will go back to BB/whatever.

IF they would all start playing PA-DDs, many other would start to play other ships because less BBs (Radar Cruisers, Akizuki maybe aswell). And once they get their asses handed to them they would return to BBs anyway.

So nope, i dont think they will impact BBs in any way.

I think with some players, Pan Asian DDs will have no effect on their ability to play the game.

In their quest to appease the whiney BB folks I expect to see PA nerfs pretty quick.

 

Something along the lines of there being a 40% chance the torps will explode in the tubes upon launching.

He is right you know, i thought you are trolling as well.

 

Panasian dds look crap and boring, they will be busy fighting russian gunboats, evading us smoketorps or running away from german hydroDDs... And WHEN all enemy DDs are defeated maybe you will be able to torp some BBs.

I will skip the line and play even more carriers :P

I seriously doubt that the introduction of the Pan-Asian destroyers will seriously affect the number of bb players in the game.

 

Although you could make a case for the fact that they should. And this is coming from someone who mostly identifies as a bb and cruiser driver.

I felt like voting 'as much as I do now', but seeing as I'm a DD/CA/CL main, that would be cheating the poll a little. :Smile_trollface:

Honestly, I don't think PA DDs will not have much of an effect on numbers of BBs.

The lowest common denominator will still play the only ships they (think they) know how to play.

As a mostly cruiser and DD player I expect the impact on cruisers to be quite significant. If the DW torps were an anti BB thing I'd be happier, but let's face it the number of BB's played is unlikely to reduce because of DW torps.

The choices appear to be a little "biased". Pan-Asia DDs won´t be any BB-specific gamebreakers, just DDs with another gimmick. A gimmick, as much needed as the others we received since release, and as useless as all others when it comes to solve the issues they are meant to solve.

 

BBs, on the other hand, will remain the same. The active players, supporting their teams, will get pummeled by torpedoes and all the stuff, while suffering from RNG, even at short range, while the majority of BB players will play the camping game they are used to, ruining the game for their team, the enemy team and themselves.

 

Considering the fact, that Pan-Asia DDs are designed with the intention to "reduce the BB overpopulation", we can at least assume that they will completly fail to succeed in this point. All they will achieve, is a further demotivation of active, non camping players, preventing them from their active play and pushing them to the borders, alongside the volunteer-campers.

 

I wonder, how long WG will need to finally accept, that no DD, no CV or any other change will reduce the BB overpopulation, with the exception of a drastic increase of skill-requirement for playing BBs successfully/rewarding/enjoyable...
