83 Zim_Xero Members 765 posts 2,849 battles Report post #7 Posted February 18, 2017 I honestly am seeing far better balance after the captain skills update. If anything, the game is lighter on DDs and CVs. Cruisers and BBs all over. The MM, right now, is gonna be a little skewed because of Ranked Season going on.

9,498 [GWG] BrushWolf [GWG] Alpha Tester 29,308 posts 15,806 battles Report post #8 Posted February 18, 2017 That many BB's is the exception but so are BB free matches. The numbers of every class other than CV's can and will change drastically from match to match. Don't like the balance of a match just que up again when it is over and it will be different.

1,498 Grizley Beta Testers 6,868 posts 4,189 battles Report post #10 Posted February 18, 2017 In the last two weeks T10 is a fairly even split, T9 is not. T10BB 58kCA 60kDD 56k T9BB 92kCA 62kDD 67k The bulk of those extra T10 CA games are from the Des Moines. It's by far the most played T10 CA on the US server for obvious reasons. The same is not true for even the post buff Baltimore. Similarly the Iowa is extremely heavily played on the US servers but since the Montana is such an anemic "upgrade" a lot of people stop there. Montana is played less than Yamato and barely more than the Kurfurst, despite it being released fairly recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

389 surratus Members 1,062 posts 4,651 battles Report post #15 Posted February 18, 2017 Maybe the increased popularity of BB's is stress related. They do seem to be the least "frantic" ship to play. I'm not saying anything regarding level of difficulty just that the pace of the action is somewhat slower and therefore might be more enjoyable after a busy real-life day. If that assumption were true I would expect the balance of ship classes to reflect the time of day or day of the week. Might be an interesting project for someone to explore.

I doubt that, but I agree that a plot of when all the BB games are played would be interesting. Just to pick out patterns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

17,557 [WOLF5] HazeGrayUnderway Members 38,590 posts 31,232 battles Report post #18 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I can post a couple of BB free matches if u like. You can post multiple screenshots of a lack of BBs in a match all you want. But the numbers already say otherwise. NA Server, 2 week stats, sorted by the highest number of battles played. There are 14 ships in this "Most Battles Played" list from the last 2 weeks: 9 of the 14 most played ships are Battleships 6 of these 9 BBs are "Made in German." The Top 3 most played ships are Battleships 4 of the 14 are Cruisers 1 of the 14 is a Destroyer 0 of the 14 is a Carrier The damning thing is that this persists in very similar patterns in the other servers. My friends on Asia Server have traditionally called that server a "Cruiser Server" as they tend to play a lot of Cruisers more than the others. However, when you get down to it, even they prefer playing Battleships more. Edited February 19, 2017 by HazeGrayUnderway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

97 [DD214] Seamus_44 Members 816 posts 45,209 battles Report post #20 Posted February 19, 2017 It depends on who plays what as well as the MM, as well as when new ships and classes are launched by the dev team. It was graet having DDs when the new BBs came out in lower tiers. Always a matter of knowing when and where to hunt and fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
