Cant wait for deadeye to be removed.

[reza577]

With deadeye removed and secondary's in the crapstate they are, BBs will go back to being useless hunks of metal that just hold down W and die to spamming fires / torps.

[arch4random]

then there will be less bb players for cvs to try and farm..kinda feel sorry for the dds and cls if that happens....

cvs will be out for blood

This is a really nice suggestion (sarcasm).

 

The Op has taken the time (sarcasm) to make an observation and has followed it up with a recommendation (more sarcasm). The facts supporting the POV and recommendation are 100% fictitious.

 

Got shot?  Must have been deadeye.

My fast food arrived cold, must have been deadeye

No one paid the power bill, must have been deadeye

Camping BB, must have been deadeye

 

How long have you been wearing this tin hat?

dead eye is not the problem the nerf to secondary's is the problem . why should secondary BBs push with a big fat accuracy nerf making the push not worth the pain that comes with it . NO the solution to dead eye is in fact to leave it alone . do something useful like buff secondary's by 30 percent accuracy so they can clear a path for the other units to punch through.. after all that is what a secondary BB should be able to do . any ship in range of secondary BBs secondary armorment should feel the pain . in short some of you clowns complained about secondary BBs doing their job . now you cry like little... about dead eye. some BBs are mid long range ships and at those range they should clean your clocks. Other BBs are brawlers and at mid to close range they should bring the pain . you want BB to support you perhaps your kind should stop  supporting secondary BBs nerfs , and start supporting us in our cause buff Secondary BBs .

There is no nurf to 2ndries.  the 2ndries are exactly the same as they were before the Skill re-work.  Can I assume you're referring to the Captain skill which is now 35% less dispersion.   Guess what?  This is STILL A BUFF to secondaries.  IMHO the skill is better now as there is no major disparity between tier 7 and tier 8 which the last skill had.

 

So put your helmet on and stop making lame excuses as to why ships need to camp.

All working together to ease BB overpopulation and tone down an overperforming secondary battleship. 

The larger consideration is whether the revision of Deadeye will be viewed as a "major" change worthy of a free captain skills reset.

if the planned change is as they stated, it will have to be...  at least for everyone that has DE selected now.

If only that was actually true. But reality was that secondaries were always considered a meme, not meta. The real meta was automatic damage by fires.

You know there is a a skill which gives a reload buff to bbs when ships are in secondary range. Instead of depending on those secondaries to fight for you build secondary range and then wreck the ships with guns that you actually have to aim.

"One of the common requests [for a change] from the community is Dead Eye. Dead Eye will be changed, from scratch. Most likely there will be a new skill, probably. In the next three to four weeks we'll have more details, and this time frame is conservative. There is a lot of data we have, and we don't want to do this in a haste. We'll do a separate article in the dev blog in which we'll cover a lot of nuances about new skills, where we'll say how it went, how it changed [game/meta], what we'll change, what will be the direction we'll take. Think by 0.10.2 we'll share more details. So, in two three weeks at the most we'll make the information available"

 

ALso NOTE based on that translation..  it MIGHT be stating more skills are going to be adjusted...

[Mono_De_Mantequilla]

It may be too early yet for WG to get a full spreadsheet analysis of the commander skill rework.  From reading the forums they could take back a lot of suggestions like changing Deadeye, and replacing worthless skills like Outnumbered, but that is not historically the way they do things.  WG wants to find out what is overly popular, since they consider such things to be OP by definition, and begin nerfing from there.

Gotcha. So until we know what the changes are, we don't know if a reset is necessary.

And I certainly hope more skills will be adjusted.

I wonder if some of the data they're collecting concerns how many people use a skill, and the level of adjustment (or replacement) will depend on how many or few people use the skill.

I hope so anyway.

It's actually two-fold, but the MAIN problem is indeed secondaries accuracy, or lack thereof. Because of Dead Eye promoting back of map sniping/long-range plays, everyone is going further back to maintain the bonus. This makes it VERY difficult to engage targets with your secondaries. And even IF you do actually get to engage, guess what? Your secondaries aren't hitting anything even with a FULL secondaries build thanks to trashed accuracy! For reference, the  -25% buff drop from Manual Secondaries to ISBA (-60% to -35%) actually correlates to 38.5% MORE max dispersion, and that's for Massachusetts!! Imagine BBs WITHOUT improved dispersion. It's even WORSE for them, because they're dealing with 300m+ max dispersions, with a full secondaries build. If anything needs fixing right now, it's ISBA. But fixing the condition for Dead Eye as it is WOULD probably help.

It would be nice to have a fun cruiser match in this meta.

LOL

As I just said prior, the -60% to -35% drop actually correlates to a 38.5% dispersion gain. Also, here, enjoy these hitrate tests. The secondaries accuracy is *chef's kiss* SO so good /s

(Hit Rate Testing with T7 California vs T9 Yugumo)

All Secondaries Skills No IFHE: 10.2%, 14.4%, 10.6%, 11.4%, 11.3%, 11.5%, 9.6%, 12.5%, 15.2%, 8.3%
Average = approx. 11.5%
Hitrate Percentage Range = 10.7% ->14.8%

IMPROVED DISPERSION TEST (T5 Oklahoma vs T9 Yugumo)
All Secondaries Skills No IFHE: 21.7%, 14.7%, 13.5%, 14.7%, 18.2%, 22.9%, 10.8%, 22.4%, 21.5%, 23.9%
Average = approx. 18.4%
Hitrate Percentage Range = 14.4% ->22.5%

(for reference, the higher values indicate DD engine loss. No engine = immobile DD = more hits)

Secondaries accuracy is TRASHED compared to before. Oh what, you want dispersion values? Ok.

Max dispersion at 11.3km for Massachusetts with ISBA: 200m

Max dispersion at 11.3km for Massachusetts with Manual Secondaries: 123m

dispersion difference = 77m (that's almost a ship's length btw lol)

Dispersion gain = 77/200 = 38.5%

Try again.

(Actually, you want some honest advice? Next time you shoot your mouth off about secondaries accuracy as if you know anything, try having MORE than 58 battles in Randoms please!! I mean, I don't usually care about that kinda stuff, but COME ON, you're just trolling at this point...)

EDIT: YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A SECONDARIES BATTLESHIP PLAYED, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING?!?!? I'm dying, this is hilarious, well played, well played. Darn, I fell for the troll, for double sure.
