Nothing wrong here. Those stairs on the top right are simply increasing the dynamics of your climb. If you can't scale them, you're simply showing a failure to adapt!

. (And no, these are not two teams of the same clan. Look closely. One of them is from EU and the other is from RU.) Pretty much all that needs to be said about this season.

My clan does not plan on playing this season. CVs in clan wars is an absolute joke.

And this is precisely why Brazilian players are relevant in this situation. Wargaming has basically given the middle finger to citizens of less wealthy nations. Many of us in the United States and Canada are fortunate enough to at least have the option of obtaining Puerto Rico via paying for it, even if most of us find that idea a horrible use of our money. What is a person in Latin America to do? Or better yet, a person in Puerto Rico? They have no means whatsoever to obtain their own namesake ship and it is simply a travesty.

Unbelievable. Cyber bullying is a serious problem, an actual global crisis in our time. And here you are trivializing this innocent man's plight. Pathetic.

Shameful. What next? "If you wear that flirty top that shows your shoulders and some of your back in public, you're basically provoking, you're inviting the sexual assault." Also, OP, if you see anyone harassing you for playing Puerto Rico, I'm sure Wargaming's fantastic report system will deliver them the appropriate consequences for their actions if you just click on the "report player" button!

I absolutely think there is a strong case to be made against Wargaming for false advertising in this event. By law, even giving consumers the wrong impression about the true nature of a product, or failing to give consumers all of the information they need to make an informed choice, is false advertising. It is undeniable that Wargaming gravely and intentionally misled the entire community about the feasibility of the Puerto Rico grind. Such an admission was about the only useful information that came out of Sub's "apology." You can see how they retroactively removed words like "entirely possible" and "simply complete the directives" from the official news article once everyone realized how absurd the directives actually are. Wargaming watched as many popular community contributors made exciting videos praising the new dockyard system that was in testing and telling viewers that a new tier 10 premium cruiser could be earned for free. We know they saw the videos because Wargaming employees even commented about them. Any one of them who knew what the grind was actually like could have said something about the ship being impossible to actually grind for free and they chose to say nothing. Wargaming was fully aware that an incorrect impression about the Puerto Rico grind was being spread around and they let it persist. The nature of the event was designed to get people excited for what they believed was a realistically attainable tier 10 premium, then have them pay as early as possible before everyone realized just how impossible the grind is. When you make the doubloon boosts only have maximum value if you buy them before construction starts, that is simply how it goes. Yes, you could make the devil's advocate argument that the directives were technically visible with their true, ridiculous numbers once the patch went live and that everyone could have seen them before they bought the doubloon boosts, but this honestly would not even be close to enough to save Wargaming from the false advertising complaint. Regardless of the fact that Wargaming obviously made sure to make this information as hidden as possible by making you click on each individual directive in order to find out that they are mutually exclusive, this does not change anything about the way that they purposely misled consumers.

KotS is a great example of what CVs do to competitive, and the difference between 8 and 9 was night and day. My particular favorite example of this realization was (I believe) after the second or third NA vs EU game on the last day when two of the Wargaming commentators in between the games basically said something along the lines of "I am really enjoying all of these surprising and complex strategies! It's so fun to watch!" *other guy:* "Yeah, this is all possible because there aren't aircraft carriers in this season of KotS and we wouldn't be seeing any of this if there were." And those are Wargaming employees. At least pre-rework CVs, while being arguably more broken, actually had some elements of counterplay that could make watching them still a bit enjoyable in competitive- fighters that actually did something and could deny enemy squadrons from spotting or striking a ship, plane reserves that could actually run out and AA that was actually threatening. While it was still overpowering for competitive, there was at least some teamwork involved with them. These days, reworked CVs would add absolutely nothing in terms of entertainment or enjoyability. In fact it would be one of the most boring things ever to watch.

Yikes

So exactly how many planes does one need to shoot down in order to counter a CV? AA defense expert medals don't even mean anything anymore because CVs can still be sending out full squadrons even if you got one lol. And how exactly are you supposed to "not make yourself a target" against a ship that can literally target whatever it wants unless the person playing it has brain damage? Your proposed "counterplay" essentially amounts to telling everyone to form a massive blob and completely abandon the idea of any sort of good map play or positioning. And that's fine by you, apparently. "Just give up having fun and blob together with literally everyone on your team and you won't die to the CV in the first 5 minutes." Is that really how you believe the game should have to work?

Maybe they will, maybe they won't. There are plenty of excellent players out there who can perform extremely well in any ship class (and by the way, pretty much all of them agree that CVs are a broken class lol). The problem lies in that there is one out of the four ship classes currently in the game where many more people than just unicums can smack you with zero counterplay.

There is nothing to feel bad about at all. I have no issues with anyone who plays CVs to win more games or just enjoys abusing a broken class. At this point, honestly why wouldn't you play CVs? It's the literal embodiment of "if you can't beat them, join them." Now of course, even many of those people would find it boring to play only CVs, and would probably switch it up from time to time for the sake of variety. That's fine too, but there's really nothing to feel bad about anymore. You may as well play the broken, counterless class. Now, defending CVs as being balanced, that's something people should be very ashamed of, lol.

Players from that certain country that rhymes with Grazil need the automatic DCP for fires because they don't know how to deal with fires, as you can tell by what's going on with their rainforest right now. I agree though. I really just can't stand them. Seeing them in my game, you just know it's going to be a horrible experience.

Oh French destroyers would be among the strongest picks available for a tier 8 1v1 if CVs weren't an option, but yeah, unfortunately, Enterprise says hi
