Now with 11.1 kms range it's a bad destroyer. Not worth the steel spent on it. Uninstall is getting so close 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is still a very efficient bot killer and primary-gun-hit ribbon farmer, and still the closest you will get to having Smolensk if you don't actually have Smolensk. The only way to give WG the data they need to buff her is to play her. Edited February 1 by Ensign_Cthulhu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uninstall is getting so close Sadly, the best way to get WG to take a look at fixing something is to stop playing it, since the balance by popularity contest. They'll say they don't, but then regularly give "reasons" for ships or other items being moved or remove or changed related to popularity.

Hopefully that is an error that will be fixed in a patch... EDIT: I submitted a Bug Report: Edited February 1 by ExploratorOne 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did my part since closed beta, played a lot of crap in these 5+ years. Not anymore. If they fix it, great, if not... See you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't expect immediate changes, if at all, for Flint. But to take a pulse with what's going on, here are the Damage Averages for Atlanta and Flint across all the servers this past week of 1-30-2021. http://maplesyrup.sweet.coocan.jp/wows/shipstatswk/index.html Asia Server ATL 30,864 Flint 31,227 NA Server ATL 30,895 Flint 33,989 EU Server ATL 32,664 Flint 38,333 RU Server ATL 33,499 Flint 35,063 NA & EU Servers play ATL & Flint the most, more even than the larger RU Server. Again, this was a quick pulse check. These numbers are going to jump around a while week-to-week. People are trying different things out, wondering what's effective. On top of that, I'm expecting changes to the Skill Rebork. Things are going to be in flux for a while. Edited February 1 by HazeGrayUnderway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
