There is no thought process, only the spreadsheet - that's the problem.

Airship Escort shouldn’t be part of randoms. It is fun precisely because it’s a separate mode that you can pick different ships for.

You dropped this.

Note sure how you fit in the DEs or CVEs, but Johnston at least needs to be represented. There are a number of interesting "gimmicks" they could give her to represent her actions at Samar (maybe a superheal, crawling smoke, or some kind of enhanced torpedoes). I would absolutely shell out for a Commander Evans captain as well (although that likely would need his family's approval)... maybe with enhanced adrenaline rush or enhanced last stand? I don't really care how many Fletchers there are, Johnston needs to be in.

Got Renown '44, which was the only reward I was really interested in, and stopped.

First couple Battle Passes were great deals, so I bought them... will pass on this one, tech tree ships as the end reward seems very, very meh.

Got 2 Mega crates from certificates so far and pulled a Loyang, which looks like a lot of fun.

That's WG's entire development methodology summed up right there.

WG: devalues camo Also WG: wonders why people aren’t buying camo

Which is easily avoided by the sub performing a simple maneuver?

Anyone surprised that this is Yukon 2.0? At this point, it's pretty clear that WG doesn't really respect the community, especially the individuals who put all the time and effort into putting together a much more appropriate and historical tree than this WG fever dream.

Counterplay that is dependent on the other guy screwing up isn't really counterplay. And this sub potatoed hard.

37-knot submarine? Yeah, that'll go well.

Get out of here with your balanced take, sir! We don't do that here! Very well stated... hard for me to argue with any of your points.

Tier 5 ranked battles are just awful.
