Tier 9 Battle's Have Changed Significantly Since I last played Essex Last Year

[HBZK100]

So now after playing the game a lot yesterday (so much fun!), I'm quite honestly amazed at how much better tier 9 battles are doing vs when I was playing a year ago.

 

1. Team coordination and teamwork is absolutely amazing vs. what I used to deal with. This makes using my Essex so much easier as I can coordinate with battleships and cruisers as to which targets to hit.

2. When I call the team to hit a target for me, the do it!

3. Finally the cruiser craze is over with and there are more battleships per game. More meat for my Essex!!!

 

I used to have a miserable time in the Essex and the main reason why I never played her as much as I do now is because the teamwork wasn't all there, but also cruiser spam was insane back then.

Conformation bias. Just sounds like you had a good team this time, but yes they are out there

Yeah probably. I've only had one whole day of playing. Lets see how one whole week of playing goes.

It's been close to a year since brought out my Essex (think I stopped playing her right after they took away her 2nd tb squad).

 

I've dabbled in lower tier cvs since, but my fear going back to Essex is that the game has changed so much, and the opposition so much more experienced, that I'd just be a liability to my team.

Because of the massive bump in battleships per game, Essex gameplay is quite fun now. I'm easily getting 100-150k average damage per match.
