It's time to fix Radar and Sonar

[FelixJongleur]

I've reached a breaking point with how freaking broken these mods are, and how they ruin game play, I have ships that have these mods and even I think it's stupid how over effective they are at screwing the game play.

Their is 0 risk and only 100 reward for having these, most of the time the other options in these consumables slots doesn't even offer something that makes you think twice over these picks. The risk to having these mods are none existent. (Only the Minotaur has the risk of not having smoke).


The fact they can see through islands is the worst part of these things.
The fact their cool downs are incredibly short is also very problematic with the sheer quantity of ships that have these.

It is time to double their cool down to at least 4 minutes,  and have their durations cut in half to a maximum of 15 seconds.
With a detection range of nothing better than 7km, and the ship using the mods require line of sight of the target revealed.
If revealed target takes cover behind an island then sight is lost. Enough of this crap of pulling ships up to an island hiding and hitting radar to reveal a team.

Brace for some backlash. I don't entirely agree with you, but I won't make a point of it.

This complaint is a year late. CVs are the "in" things to whine about.

They're not going to do anything about radar/sonar they're forcing a meta of light cruisers sporting 2-4 second reloads that have Heavy Anti Air and Radar/Sonar and/or smoke

[Dan_nukacola]

They'll be busy "fixing?" Cv's for a while, like 30% of their player base is asking for RTS back, like 45-50% want to keep the new interface, and the remaining 20-25% want CV"s gone :v (Results may vary on the percentages, i'm not a damn survey machine here :v)

[Frenotx]

Wait, did the latest CV nerf work, then? Are DDs back to complaining about radar and hydro?

Think it worked for the Jap Cv's...the midway still does 20k dmg DB strikes on my ships :/ and still spams them -.-

If I take the Hydro in the Atago I become bait for CV's if I take Dfaa instead I can actually hold my own against cvs and can provide close-in support for by bbs, and it works. I can cite a few more ships where this is the case. Radar however is a auto pick no matter what because the only good dd is a dead unistalling one.

What ships?

[SkaerKrow]

It's time for you to learn how to play the game. Any legitimate criticism of Radar can't even exist in this thread because of your abundant ignorance about game balance.

Does 20k's on the GK

The change was to help DDs, primarily. Eating lots of damage from DBs is just part of the gig when you're driving a small city with mediocre AA.

Now, now.  That is a VERY non-PC word to use and may get your E-pee-pee whacked.  You have been warned.

The devs have already pretty much said that they won't fix the seeing through islands thing for radar and hydro, because "team work" trumps common sense realism.

[Nato101]

As a DD main, life is definitely hard with multiple radar, sonar, and endless CV spam. But I still do fine.

What concerns me more is the general gameplay meta of the entire team camping islands for half the round. This can easily be addressed by:

Reducing accuracy if there is no direct spotting of the target, and even moreso if there is no direct line of sight (behind islands).

That way, you can get radared, but you won't be hit easily.

[AlcatrazNC]

Radar has been nerfed to a point it's only useful against potato DD. 

 

And hydro...are you really complaining about something that can only spot thing within 5km

As long as we remove DD's when that change is made, fine.

I think the "common sense realism" card went out the window in pre-alpha when the devs decided to make WoWS into an arcade game.

Sorry, must disagree.  Yuro does too!

Yes, because his IJN torp boats get their torps spotted too soon...

But I thought everyone now uses Def AA to increases their mean to fk CV planes ? Is it a lie ?

Radar has already been nerfed quite effectively both in range and usefulness to yur teammates and if you are having issues with radar and/or hydro it is your fault. They are both easily avoidable now. Change your play style because you are obviously doing it wrong.

FIFY!!  You're welcome.

OP- Radar and Hydro is easily countered with good ol' map and situational awareness.  It can be frustrating at times, yes, but overall, they aren't game changing consumables.  They ARE poor decision punishing consumables though.  At least that is how I look at it.  The only time they impact me is after I've made one or more poor decisions/choices.
