676 [-GF-] Copperhead550 Beta Testers 1,291 posts 12,909 battles Report post #3 Posted February 8, 2022 Looks like the Hurons just going to be a haida clone with some cosmetic differences unless im missing something from the little info we have! Could easily bump her up to tier 8 too. so we don't have so many tier 7s for the commonwealth... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

15 SlayerWolf_2020 Members 67 posts 13,714 battles Report post #5 Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I was wonder that myself. Looks pretty my the same as the Haida. She is a good ship. But why remove Haida to put in another tier 7, the Huron? How about a cruiser instead? Edited February 8, 2022 by SlayerWolf_2020 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24 [HI-CS] Von_Sharer Members 44 posts 14,924 battles Report post #6 Posted February 8, 2022 Admitting imperfection is one thing, MOST important is that you don't stand firm in justification against an obviously failed project --- like CVs. I still believe there is a very serious break in communications between Customer Support and developers ... either that, or Customer Support people continually lie to us. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

650 [-REK-] HooplaJones Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 823 posts Report post #8 Posted February 8, 2022 Just give us the option to sell our FDR back for steel or trade it for some steel cammos. WG seems to overcorrect each time so people can actually see the differences, but this FDR is total trash. WG constantly creates OP ships sells them then takes back what they give you. Now you even say yeah we are going to do it ahead of time. I want my steel back, heck Ill settle for half of it at this point. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71 [SEAKT] USSCurtis Members 253 posts 14,267 battles Report post #10 Posted February 8, 2022 When they say "balance changes" for Zoa and Petro, are they referring to the already implemented nerf/buffs to those ships or to new ones being testing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could easily bump her up to tier 8 too. so we don't have so many tier 7s for the commonwealth... I fully expected a Haida clone when after LWM suggested either Huron or Athabaskan II, WG promptly announced they would release the less interesting of the 2 in 2022. I was hoping they'd prove me wrong by using Huron's 1950s DDE refit but nope. I have my doubts about uptiering a Haida clone to T8. She just doesn't have the firepower for that. Her sister ship Cossack is already T8 but Cossack has a 4th turret to make it work. Athabaskan would've fit perfectly into T8 since with 4x2 102mm she'd be basically HMCS Akizuki (except without the braindead 1/4 HE pen). The weird part is she wouldn't even have been much more difficult to model. Just remove Haida's 120mm turrets and copy-paste the 102mm secondary into their places, replace the quad 40mm pom-pom with a twin 40mm Bofors, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm I am curious about what they're going to do with Huron, too, especially because it looks like it's going to stay at Tier VII as a direct Haida replacement, but I mean, they pulled Haida for balance/popularity issues, so Huron is going to get a nerf bat hit in some way.

3,138 [WOLF5] Khafni [WOLF5] Members 6,535 posts 29,664 battles Report post #20 Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Gremyashchy? She was once OP. She got first tamed when open water stealth fire was removed - I get it. Then the nerf bat hit her hard when you changed the turret rotation speed in the new, updated captain skills rework from +2.5 degrees per second (Expert Marksman) to a flat +15% (Grease the Gears). Her turrets were slow to start with but you could more or less keep them on target when turning under the old skill. Not anymore...

122 [SINK1] CaptainVaneGhost Members 242 posts 46,748 battles Report post #21 Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Suggested improvements: 1. *Limit the number of human's in PVE battles to no more than three on the team. The less the better. (*Huge problem!!!!) 2. In the missions tabs include a show/hide button for PVP and PVE missions. 3. More Port filtering options: Expand the available ship search options in the filters option, include parameters such as ranking a player's: Highest/Lowest Credits, XP, Damage, Potential Damage, Ribbons, Main Battery/Secondary/Torp Hits, etc.. A. This way a player can immediately access their best performing ships for various mission tasks, Naval Battles, Farming, etc... B. Create separate Port Folders to file ships, ex: a scrapyard port where a player can put awful ships to reduce the number in the carousel. 4. Program the bots to quit ramming into each other. 5. Get rid of Negative Karma Points, they are vindictive for the most part and hurt the game. 6. Make the absence of Subs permanent and create a separate battle option designed specifically for them (Perhaps what's actually in the works?) 7. Rebalance/reduce the service costs for Co-op battles (balancing the cost of signals/camos would also be an improvement) 8. It would be appreciated if missions such as Dockyard and others could be completed at a player's pace rather than delayed into weekly segments. 9. Issue separate coupons for Steel and Coal ships. 10. Equalize Unique Captain skills for Co-op by activating a talent when the equivalent threshold for an Achievement is reached.

Gremy used to be one of my favorite DDs to play, not anymore. I think the new captain skills (turret rotation) has made her (and several other mid-tier DDs) almost unplayable. I even have some super Russian skipper on her that gets a 20% turret boost and every other turret (sand in the gears) upgrade and she still has a slower rate of traverse than most battleships. I’ve said it several times before but WGing needs to make adjustments so she is back to her old rate of traverse which was sloooow to begin with.

Yup. Co-op battles are now a madhouse, a frenzied race to sink ships, the fastest ships with the fastest reloads win the day. When there's two caps there's never a capture, even in three cap maps all the enemy are often shot-up before any are captured. No strategy involved, if you stop to smoke up a DD or set-up an island ambush three fast reloading cruisers will whiz by you and sink the enemy before they enter their side of the cap. You can't stalk or execute any strategies. Wins are guaranteed, no chance of losing. When you have a bot DD on your team they'll just cancel out the opposing bot DD by ramming. On the positive side MM seems to have adjusted the team ship rosters to enable BB's to have a little better chance of competing.
