4,606 [O_O] desmo_2 Members 7,946 posts 22,508 battles Report post #2 Posted June 28, 2017 It does seem that things were a bit more balanced before DD's took their nerfs. Now BB's dominate the team lineups and cruisers are almost irrelevant at most tiers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big guns are always going to be popular. Cruiser fires and well played DDs already feast on BBs, by the way. If DDs need a buff, that has nothing to do with BBs.

991 [JWB] CrazyHorse_Denver Members 1,882 posts 20,862 battles Report post #7 Posted June 28, 2017 DDs already have the biggest UNREALISTIC advantage of any ship class in the game. Namely unlimited torpedo reloads. Can you imagine what the game would be like if CVs had unlimited airplanes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

870 [A-D] Carrier_Ikoma Beta Testers, Alpha Tester 2,638 posts Report post #11 Posted June 28, 2017 A high tiers it's really not uncommon for there to be something like 5 DDs, 5 BBs, and then 2 cruisers. Maybe even only 1 cruiser. It's not the DDs that need buffing. (As a class, yes, I know, some specific ships/lines have trouble). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think "fixing" CVs so that they are more accessible would: 1) encourage BBs to keep moving; 2) Helps balance DDs stealth - given that the CV actually does some spotting; 3) And, make Cruisers more relevant with their AA ability. The lack of CVs is unbalancing the game meta , IMHO. Also, the biggest harm WG-WOWS is doing to cruisers is giving their abilities to BBs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
