Unless it was a 15-20k Dev Strike, a GS should never have been close enough the NC wanted to shoot at it. Same thing with the Farragut; unless it was going for a point-blank torpedoe ambush from terrain; it never should have been close enough to a Bismark to get spotted, if for no other reason because of the secondaries.

2,005 [FML] UltimateNewbie Members 4,323 posts 16,682 battles Report post #6 Posted October 10, 2017 I actually like being uptiered to Tier 8 in my Leander; way more XP for nailing North Carolinas! though, yes, often being uptiered can sap the fun out of the game, particularly for new players.

(Unless radar, hydro, or pesky aircraft.) haha. Right. NC can range out to 27 kms with the right mod choices. I run that in Monty and can put shells on ships all the way out to that range. Graf Spee has no choice but to come under the NC's guns. The stupidly fxxked MM for T5 and 6 is why all those ships are port queens in my port. Not fun to be constantly killed by ships two tiers up. Basically, WG has constrained meaningful MM choice to T4 or T9-10. Totally wrong, and frankly, it is hugely unethical to sell all those premiums in those tiers and then announce that those tiers are screwed by the MM revision.

2,197 GhostSwordsman Members 6,588 posts 8,581 battles Report post #8 Posted October 10, 2017 I still think the solution to most of this issue is simply revoking the preferential MM on T4s, allowing them to match with T6 again. This way, T6 goes back to +/-2 instead of the current +2/-1. T5 still gets a bit shafted, but should hopefully see more middle tier games since T4s would now be getting pulled up to fill slots in T6 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry; been so long since I cared to play NC I couldn't remember the ranges. (As much as I wanted NC, I can't stand the thing because it's constantly getting screwed over because of T10 games. Prefer to use Missouri.) Doesn't change what I said though; GS was too close for it's own good, most likely.

(As much as I wanted NC, I can't stand the thing because it's constantly getting screwed over because of T10 games. Prefer to use Missouri.) Yep, it's why I sold my NC, didn't like the tanky style of play, and got tired of grappling with GKs and Yammys all the time. At T8 I keep Amagi and Tirpitz, but I really only play Kutuzov in Randoms since it uptiers well. I haven't played Atago in a Random match since WG destroyed the MM and took so much fun from the game. I don't play any T8 DDs except Kiev, it's not fun and engaging to play high tier DDs, especially when you are facing DDs two tiers above you. MM desperately needs fixed -- they've improved it tremendously, but still needs more work. Every time I load into Domination matches in which one side has only one DD while the other has two, or one side has three radar ships while the other has none, I say to myself "Do the devs even play this game?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,894 [HINON] Doomlock [HINON] Wiki Lead, Beta Testers, Privateers 6,801 posts 5,248 battles Report post #14 Posted October 10, 2017 It ain't gonna happen. I've had some great games when I've been bottom tier. The only reason it feels like it's "every game" is because of the protected MM of T4. Honestly they should just let it go back to every tier having the original +/- 2 save T1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, this game desperately needs its players to stop whining and put their man pants on, or turn on their man cards. The number of wusses here is pathetic. As for the last sentence, I do agree that in domination mode, having a mismatch in the numbers of DDs can give the side with the numerical advantage a devastating advantage. Ditto for radar ships, though in their case, it doesn't matter what the mode is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
