Thanks for the game tip. I like to learn about games that are interesting and I haven't played yet.

The game would be improved by making the "game" as close to historic and real specifications & capabilities as possible. Notice they haven't enabled "Kamikaze" attacks, yet. The more this game behaves like "candy crush", the more "broken" it becomes.

The principles that Eurobeat uses a comedic video to illustrate, still remain though. :-)

That was hilarious! :-D Thanks for posting the Eurobeat's video. :-)

+1 Yep, I agree.

Two reasons. 1. Historically, planes did use them. 2. WOWs put them in the game. (Got an issue with that, then take it up with WOWs.) Part of the installation of "rocket planes" to the game was the removal of controllable fighter squadrons (which have been relegated to being a consumable, instead). CV's used to use their fighters to intercept enemy bombers/torpedo-planes and to counter other fighter planes and to scout the map. Now, post cv-rework, that ain't happening as much.

Dodging rockets/bombs/torps is what good DD players do. ;-)

The Iowa has a longer overall length than the Alabama & Massachusetts. I think that is why the South Dakota class can turn better, because of their shorter length and a decent propulsion specification.

The Russian DD line is interesting/challenging. Their short-range torpedoes (4km) involve getting close to enemy ships. They have decent main-battery guns for DD's of their tier. Most of them are maneuverable and have decent "detection radius" specifications.

The WOWs "in-game" differences will be available on the WOWs wiki, I figure. I haven't played the Alabama. I have the USS Massachusetts and like how nicely she behaves. But, historically, they were of the same "South Dakota" class of battleships. Quote: "...The South Dakota class was a group of four fast battleships built by the United States Navy. They were the second class of battleships to be named after the 40th state; the first were designed in the 1920s and canceled under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. Four ships comprised the class: South Dakota, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Alabama. ..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota-class_battleship_(1939)

During a Ranked gameplay event, I "rented" tier-10 BB's, including the Yamato. She was fun to play and absorbed more torpedo hits than I thought possible when I rounded an island and bow-tanked into a torp-spread. :-) Would I purchase her? Yep, someday. But I've got a long grind ahead of me because the Fuso is currently my biggest Japanese battleship.

Aigle can use smoke-screens.

Quoting from the title of this topic: "CV rocket attacks still OP on DDs" I'd say that until a single salvo of rockets can sink a single DD, then the planes/rockets are not over-powered. Most of the time, a rocket salvo does less than 25% of a DD's full health.

To quote you (twice). "Not exactly sure what you mean by that"
