If you guys got everything you ever whined about, you would still find something to whine about. DD's are not OP: learn to deal with them like the other players have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24 TheBeefKid Members 279 posts 4,207 battles Report post #15 Posted February 9, 2017 And yet RPF was only added a few weeks ago... What about before update 6.0.0? As long as RPF exists, aren't we better off against DD's than we were then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At 4 skill points there are currently better options. If it were at say 2 skill points, then things would be vastly different. My first 2 games after Radio Potato Finder went live, went to late game with stealthy dd's on the opposing team, me in my Scharnhorst. Had I had RPF, it would have made my life much less stressful. I would have known which caps the dd's were going for had they tried, and known from which direction torps were likely to be coming from. Information I should not have access to. As a matter of principle, I will not take RPF on any ship. Good luck and fair seas. Edited February 9, 2017 by anonym_QOibb7dMvRGh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

822 BURN_Miner Members 3,010 posts 10,193 battles Report post #21 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) It still should be taken out. It's just a dumb skill, adds nothing, but apparently ruins the game for some. Adds nothing for you, but for a new comer or someone who isn't overly aware, I could see how it "may" help them find the battlefield. It's a choice to take it, which is the bottom line and no one is forced to do so. So, what's the problem with having it? You feel it should be taken out, if you're not forced to take it, you feel it adds nothing, so it doesn't affect you right? So why take it out? I don't use it, but you're contradicting yourself a bit. They added it for a reason, whatever public and possible private reason that is. But if it adds nothing and doesn't affect you, why have a stance on it? lol Edited February 9, 2017 by BURN_Miner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
