I get why carriers are important in how they completely upended naval combat, its just that as they exist in game, they aren't fun to play as, or against. If the implementation was better, sure, but as they stand its a giant bummer.
I couldn't see subs being any fun either. As now you'd have some ships lurching along at 12kts doing nothing until they haphazardly fling some torps in the general direction of enemy ships. Slow ambush ships aren't what this game needs.

right, current implementation sucks. Which is why it is getting changed. As for subs, I think steel ocean represented it pretty well honestly. At least in the early tiers, I found I'm more a spotter than doing damage. But that also could be because aiming torps kind of sucks in that game.

they tried this and bads and tryhards hated it. really hated it

If you reduce view range, you also have to change the maps, otherwise all that does is make the end game horrible. Like, take Steppes - if you reduced everyone's view range to ~250m or less, the map plays exactly the same - some idiots go mid and do nothing or die horribly, some people camp base and contribute nothing, everyone else goes east or west and peek and poke fights until someone in the east pushes up and either wins their side single handedly or gets swarmed while their allies cower and wait their turn to get swarmed. View range doesn't do anything, except when one side wins on east/west, they can't push the enemy base because the enemy can just spot them and snipe them with impunity since all it takes is one bushed up defender to outspot everything.

Like yeah theoretically they could design maps to take into account light tanks being dedicated scouts, have good risk/reward zones on the map lanes, have one dedicated heavy-brawl lane in case a team's light tank is afk or whatever. That isn't going to happen. They couldn't even loving redesign Mines without making the north spawn even more advantaged by reducing the south's sniping spots and removing all the drat bushes looking at the north spawn off the center hill, do you really think they could make a map that doesn't just end in a draw 50% of the time due to nobody ever being able to aggressively spot?

I suppose, but still, all that damage and the "team" still can't contribute enough to make it a win because they're too busy eating their own poo poo and reminding themselves to breathe in and out rhythmically.

Speaking of HE pens, I was up against a Shitbarn FV4005 earlier with my Object 257 (Ruinberg). Sure as poo poo the fucker was all too eager to burst out of cover and start gunning for me (because the idle Mäuschen sitting side-on was obviously too easy a target) but thankfully a dumbass Löwe leapt into action and took the hit for me with his last 230hp after missing at 50 metres. I then hit the Shitbarn in the face with HE for a nice pair of ~600dmg rolls before he just evaporated... because the Mäuschen got him :cabot:

That too, however, soon turned into a loss even with my baiting the biggest guns into wasting their time (okay the enemy Tier X players were bona fide retards too but whatever) because holy poo poo I loving hate this playerbase. Let's all get hung up by a T-54 Mod. 1 platoon in our Tier X Bobject Squad. No don't scuff the paint!

once on encounter mali and standard ruinberg. that has to be some kind of record or something, getting cap wins when u want them and in 3 games


heres NOT ACE in the 430u...thought for loving sure i was finally able to get an ace but nope just like the fuckin 50b http://wotreplays.eu/site/4528874#abbey-turmoilx-object_430u same map too but this one got my heart pumping hard at the end

So I just realized that the Polish tier 7, the 45TP that I've been talking about and grinding, is actually a heavy. :stare: I thought it was a medium tank until I played a match last night and noticed the mission text was for HT-12 and not MT-whatever, and it took me a few moments to realize what was going on. I knew that the Polish tiers 8-10 were HTs, and had mistakenly assumed they were MTs like in the middle like the Swedish line; I was comparing the tanks tier-to-tier to figure out if I wanted to skip any and overlooked the fact that the line transitioned to HTs at 7. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With that being said, it explains a few things about the 45TP experience, namely the decent armor and gun and the low mobility (which I thought was peculiar for an MT.) I still like it though; it's a nice alternative to the IS as it has better gun handling and depression, and it seems a little tougher than the Tiger but with more alpha.

Speaking of HE, I always carry a good number of rounds in any vehicle with a workable ammo capacity, one of them being the WZ-111 1-4 (20/10/10). It all worked perfectly on Pilsen when some M103 got into a sidescrape position that resulted in him being invulnerable to my AP and HEAT, but then my HE left him helplessly perma-tracked while I just constantly slammed his side for ~250 a time. I just sat there holding down MOUSE1 hurling that 130mm poo poo at him until he was dead, with no fear of reprisal.

Still had some HE left after that to lob at the Swedish cheese-wedge fucker hiding at the back for much higher rolls than 250 :cabot:

If you aren't firing enough times in the WZ-111 1-4 that you occasionally run low on useful ammo because you're carrying ten HE shells, then you're not firing enough.

Type 5 is literally the most broken Heavy in the game but also tier 10 is the 2nd worst tier in the game right now because of all the new arty missions. You will literally never get a game in tier 10 right now without at least 2 arty per team, chances of which at least 3 will be the batchat arty or the T92.

iirc, the Type 5 has much more heavily armored "weak spots" than the Type 4, which should make quite a bit of a difference since you're already seeing a lot of tier 9s and 10s in the Type 4

Speaking of which, just unlocked the Type 4 yesterday. About 150 matches in the O-Ho, but I didn't manage to do quite as well in it as I did on NA, where I'm at 2200 WN8 and 60% WR on it. Only dug myself out of a hole up to 1900WN8 and 54% WR, though on NA, I'm at five hundred loving battles, my most played tank ever in this dumb game of ours. I've had so many teams implode on me so incredibly early in this run that it was much less of a fun experience, and I'm thinking whether I should keep the O-Ho around for the future. It probably deserves another chance after serving me so well on NA.
The last 30 matches or so turned out to be a lot of fun. Pushed valley on Abbey several times, ammoracked an AMX 1357 AND 1390 consecutively in a single match, and - mind-blowingly - penned a Löwe in the side for a 1090 damage roll and an engine fire. Looked up the löwe afterwards, and it has 80 armor vs. my 75 HE pen, so I'm assuming that comes from a high roll on pen?

Though, it's gonna be a bitch to train up a new crew on it that doesn't have BIA / 3 skills on the crew, with 4 skills and Eagle Eye on the commander. And I don't have another chick commander to burn on a new crew :cripes:

However, I've got about 100k free XP banked up for the Type 4's modules and guns, so I look forward do dishing out that 15cm gold-HE goodness all day.
