Not sure. The 8 -> 10 grind sucks, only to get a T10 cv that is invariably the least pleasant CV to play in the line. But honestly, the tier 8/9 grind is hella grindy for every line. I’d argue that WG should lower the curve a little bit, but that’d remove much of the reason to play (since the game is less fun and the quests are less rewarding).

+1 for Zeiten. The bow turret would be awash with so much spray, and the main trapezoid superstructure has literally no purpose. It’s like a Nurnberg had sex with an oil tanker.

I am pretty brawlly, but even I won’t go there from the North side. South side has more cover, and you can usually sneak there if there is enough support.

And how often does that happen? I have ~19000 games and it has happened twice to me (thanks, Richelieu). As for the OP, this is not a great idea and is solving a non-problem. Randomly exploding planes isn’t interesting, and CVs don’t need extra arbitrary nerfs that won’t balance anything or stop the whining.

I am happy overall, it means my non-Russian CVs will be playable again. And I expect my Heinrich will still be a solid performer (though my Alsace is more sad).

Really? Spending dev time on this rather than new maps or making subs not suck or getting the Essex/Hiryu/Independence/Taiho back into the game?

Only half? luuuucky

It depends on the CV. My RU CVs don’t care at all. My GZ is down 30% this release because the already fragile planes can’t take full continuous damage all match.

They’ll be less powerful when WG fixes the “secondaries/AA can’t be destroyed” bug

Also, the Kongo is one of the least accurate ships in the entire game,

If you think the Mac is good, wait until you get the Heinrich (and upgrade its hull)

What did you expect to happen? DDs are faster than you, out conceal you, and that’s not bad game design. It is pushing you to play as a team.

Only for snowflakes. Even before the secondary nerf she was a giant, easy to shoot ball of HP to farm. Better than FDG (even after the buff) but still comfortably weaker than other tier Xs.

As much as I hate the MM and find it to force winning/losing streaks, 50 of 58 is well beyond it. Honestly, I doubt anyone has enough skill to throw randoms that reliably which makes me think the numbers are exaggerated.

It isn’t random. Some days MM has decided you are winning too much and will consistently put you with the stinkiest randos in the queue. I’ll either switch to a ship I can carry with or play another game and come back tomorrow when the MM resets from my few losses.
