We had enough people for two brutal losses getting trounced. People left after that, so we really need to figure out consistent strategies and stop winging it.

So, I spent half the not in my Khab last night following around the Tier X carriers on my team and announcing I was protecting the from subs. Didn't help my stats much, but the collective tiers from CVs and teammates made it way worth it.

ZombieLenin gets tremendous amounts of enjoyment trolling Tier X carriers and the super serious boat players who would get upset his Khab is following around the Tier X carrier; Then: 4. While it might be waste of time for me, because ZombieLenin gets so much enjoyment from this behavior, it must not be a waste of time. edit I've also started referring to people in Blacks "special snowflakes," and if they are on my team I say, "I want to be a special snowflake too," followed by "#LeeerroyyJeennkkins." Finally I sail straight into the enemy team at full speed guns blazing. This also produces tears of bountiful harvest. This does not come up often though.

I have been doing better with the QE than anything save the Warspite. It has accuracy, better healing, and stealth. You need to be smart about using the AP. Target the upper belt of BBs and target waterline for cruisers. I have noticed it seems to overpen cruisers less than other 15 inch BBs at that tier, which is nice.

Nearing the Henri. Of course now that I have a tier 10 the goon clan seems to be falling apart, so no CW for me.  Let me take a minute to just say how loving good the Saint Louis is. I had close to a 60% solo WR yesterday, an average of around 80k damage ( I think ), and I had a lot of fun doing it. Most of my games were lost because my battleshits were not actually contesting points, although I had a few where I got roasted by a hidden BB. It doesn't have any real utility, but damage is its' currency, and the ship spends it freely. If it had better utility options or better shells or good torps, it would be laughably OP instead of just pretty good.

3 days of Premium left then I'm going to take a break from the game. The things that need to change before/if I come back sometime in the future: No more Epicentre on Tears of the Desert: Can anyone honestly tell me they would play this game if every match was on this mode/map? I don't mind Domination on this map btw, or Epicentre on Trident at mid-tiers. BB AP Pens on DDs: Its happened 3 times in the last 2 weeks in my Udaloi. Most recently wasn't as bad but still lost 14k health to one salvo (not even sure how many turrets) from an Iowa at 15km whilst I was in a full turn evading torps from a Kiev. I would honestly have been better eating a torp, which is ridiculous RN BB HE nerf - its just silly I would also like to see something to reduce the general BB population (especially higher tier German BB retards) but I think its well argued in this thread why that won't happen. CV changes. Not even sure what. I should unlock the Conqueror before weekend so I'll get to try that before its probably nerfed again in some months.

I found a mod that improves carrier/filth vision issues from filth for the Halloween 2017 campaign. Also improves framerates if you have a poo poo computer (I have a poo poo computer). Link to mod file Instructions are in the .rar file also, but just shove the file gently into your res_mods folder for 0.6.1x. Don't spread this around too much as this is in a personal share folder on my google drive and thus has a download limit, though if someone else wants to host it be my guest. Edit: Meh

kaesarsosei posted:3 days of Premium left then I'm going to take a break from the game. The things that need to change before/if I come back sometime in the future: High tier maps need a look at, as they are full of dead space and massive sightlines. Whole bunch of maps have entire rows/columns in the map grid where there is no reason for anyone to go there or should go there. Tears of the Desert is a nightmare since the entire map is based on who has destroyers that survive the first encounters, and then winning the spotting contest. For me, the AP pens on DDs is an issue, but in a way I think the amount of alpha damage BB's do in general is something that needs to be looked at. I don't think the all or nothing style of damage dealing is really a good thing for the game. In a BB vs CA matchup, generally the BB needs to kill a CA before the CA uses its superior DPM and and fire damage to cause too much damage. Because the BB has such slow firing guns, they have to hit hard. So they have to balance on accuracy, which leads to a dice roll. You can twist and turn and adjust your speed all you want in a CA, eventually a shell or two will and it might be a overpen, it might be a citadel. RN BB's are just dumb because they do a shitload of damage on a hit, probably set a fire or two, and break a bunch of poo poo. Then laugh at fire damage, heal up and disappear. I just don't know what a good solution would be, CA/CLs health doesn't seem to keep up well with the amount of damage as tiers go up. I don't think a health bump would be the right answer, as then DD's would really struggle with them. Maybe something with BB citadels not doing full shell damage because of reasons. What I do know is getting 3/4 of my health removed by a BB that hadn't been spotted isn't fun. I wonder if sticking to strict matchmaking setups would work. 3 BBs, 6 CAs and 3 DDs. Or 3 BB's, 5 CAs, 1 CV and 3 DD's. That would go against the grand design of WoWhatever though with adding a slight bit of queue time. I don't know, but what I do know is I have less desire to give them money or launch the game as things go on.

RN BB's are just dumb because they do a shitload of damage on a hit, probably set a fire or two, and break a bunch of poo poo. Then laugh at fire damage, heal up and disappear. I suggested in the past that BBs be unable to citadel cruisers, which is definately too far, but I think they could easily tweak some modifier to reduce citadel damage vs cruisers but leave it the same vs other BBs, and leave regular pen dmg vs cruisers the same. Likewise they could do something similar to regular pen dmg vs DDs. It wouldn't, or shouldn't, be hard to tweak this if they had the desire to do so unless their coders are fucktards. I also like the MM idea and I think your split-outs are spot on and every match should be within +/- 1 of those numbers. I have never had any queue time problems outside of T10 CVs and I don't think adding another 10-20secs would hurt anyone. I stopped giving them money some time ago outside of premium account. I started getting very suspicious of their attitude with the release of the RN BBs. T4, 5 arguably 7, arguably 9 and definately 10 all became the best tech-tree BBs overnight. Worse, they announced the Konig Albert was being removed a few days before the RN BBs because it was OP but the Orion shits all over everything at its tiers. There's a strong impression that they released the ridiculous Conqueror to encourage people to blow cash on free XP'ing to it.

Pensacola to 6 and Cleveland to 8 are super good moves, and I guess inserting the Buffalo above the Baltimore makes more game sense, even if inserting the Northampton at 7 made more historical sense. Dallas is a paper ship, we'll have to wait for pictures to found out what it is; Helena is the St. Louis (1936) class, name changed for two obvious reasons; I'm also interested in seeing what the Seattle turns out to be. Reddit people are bitching that the Worcester is underpowered for tier 10 because it has less guns then Helena and *historical rof data*, and same for Cleveland at 8, because when you post on Reddit you leave your brain at the door.

The Cola at tier 6 would be pretty monstrous. It is loathed enough that I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't adjust it at all, which would be hilarious.

What shocks me about the split is that there's no Alaska class large cruiser as a Tier X. OK, and also calling the Brooklyn class the Helena. Seattle is probably the unbuilt late-war CL 154 design. Dallas is, judging by its place in the tech tree, one of the early sketch designs for the Atlanta. At least those are my guesses from a quick skim through Norman Friedman's US Cruisers. I personally would've changed it to a Light/Heavy split tree as follows: VI Pensacola / Dallas VII New Orleans / Brooklyn VIII Wichita / Cleveland IX Baltimore / Seattle X Des Moines / Worcester Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Helena wasn't a Brooklyn, she was a St. Louis. Though yes, they could have just used Brooklyn and made the St. Louis a B hull. I too would like Alaska as a tier 10, since it theoretically fits in with the Henri IV, Hindenburg, and Moskva as an oversized cruiser killing cruiser, but the problem is the guns - HIV has 240mm/9.4", Hindenburg 203mm/8", Moskva 230mm/9", and Alaska 305mm/12"

Here's another possibility for the Dallas from Friedman: A 1932 10,000 tonner with 8 6-inch and 8 5-inch secondaries in turrets. EDIT: Found Buffalo. She's a September 1940 design. 20,000 tons, 33 knots. Twelve 8-inchers. Looks like the torpedoes are a Wargaming touch to change up her gameplay.
