Newport Scenario Brag and Question

[1SneakyDevil]

Sometimes you just got to carry even harder than normal to pull out a few stars in this Ops, 2 in this case.

Can only what my base XP would have looked like in the old format. 

And this match started off with someone telling me that DDs were trash and shouldn't be allowed...lol.  They finished with less than 1/2 my XP.

 

Question - Should WG allow an extra player in this scenario or maybe bump it to T7 ships - What are your thoughts?

Good game.

WG should leave Newport as is & work on activating the ops removed for the CV rework.

[BlackAngelCom]

Won this a few times in randoms. Not worth the effort and certainly not worth loading up signals/camo.

The thing is way too tightly tuned for the amount of RNG in the game. A friendly destroyer gets crippled or killed early, or even one salvo of shots from a BB don't land (or he gets his turrets crossed up, or is on the wrong side) it's probably a fail for not having the DPM to stop an early breach of the harbor.

My thoughts exactly, the only problem is, that it may be too easy then, but I doubt it. It should take all of 30 seconds for a dev to type in 7 instead of 6.

Yeah that's why I was thinking an extra ship. If they bumped it up to 7s then they'd have to rework a few of the lower tier ships out.

The only thing that was on the ship is the perma camo that came with it. So everything you see on the first screen shot is what the game awarded.

Well done, I've yet to win that thing with a random team.

Maybe pushing it to tier 7 would be better, useful to have another T7 scenario besides Narai

2 stars? Replay or it didn't happen 

Seriously though, well done.

or an all 8 tier

[KilljoyCutter]

This is one of those scenarios where WG needs to somehow buff the average player. 

It's clear that no matter how many times they try, no matter how much they're warned, about half the players in Defeat at Newport Station simply don't understand the primary defensive goal of keeping red ships from crossing the line and activating the rout.

a tier 8 would be too good to believe it

[Gemlin]

My problem with this scenario is there is always 1-2 players that leave the defense of the base, go too far out, and get sunk.

This equates to basically a instant loss.

 I love those "DD's are useless in OPs" guys. Great job and keep carrying the Taters.

@Taichunger and I dragging a team kicking and screaming to a win.

Farra pretending its got Semi-auto Torp mounts

 

Some teams can't be carried.

dds arent useless, its just you have to know how to best utilize your ship.

if WG made a tier 8 they would sell more T8 preminum ships if they made one. 

[KilljoyCutter]

Other than the other players, for me, the difficulty for this is the same as with all tier VI ops -- tier VI still has too many glaring weaknesses for most ships when it comes to battles that last as long as ops do. 

Almost any ship at tier VI is too slow to get where it needs to go, or too fragile to endure the longer battle, or doesn't do enough damage fast enough to clear bots or buildings or whatever in time. 

Tier VII is where these weaknesses start to mitigate at least enough that they aren't a major issue in an op.  IMO.  

 

[Nikolay_Kuznetsov_]

This is the only Operation I don't do on a regular basis.

The enemy has RNG advantage.

So many inexperienced players entering this scenario with zero understanding of what must be done.

Very nice games there. Tip of the cap to you as well.

For further laughs this player even went on to say there's very few skilled DD players out there...lol. So while I was in the repair circle I quickly pulled up his stats and he never played a random match his entire time in WoWs.
