So according to WG there are no ships underperforming...

[Komrade_Rylo]

 

17)  are there any ships or classes that are under or over performing currently at their given tiers? and if so how do you plan to fix them?

17) There are no huge imbalances, but we are working on balancing;

 

So apparently WG is drunk, like always. Two ships that severely under perform at their tier are the Des Moines and the Montana...

 

[Spongeman131]

Don't forget the Sims.

[FallenZulu]

Montana can perform well against any other ship other than the Yamato. Actually if you look at the stats the Montana is not so far off from the Yamato. As for the Des Moines well I can not say anything on that as I have limited experience playing against it. 

[Macabe]

There's underpowered and then there's working as intended. If it's working as intended, it is really underpowered?

[Lert]

TIL that 'no huge imbalances' is exactly the same as 'there are no underperforming ships whatsoever'.

Atlanta and Sims are probably the worst off.

 

Montana's problem is it's being compared to Yamato.

Nothing compares to Yamato, except some paper designs for super capital ships.

 

Des Moines problem... well I think it's probably just too easy to citadel up close, while it's guns are kind of hard to use at range, thanks to the arcs.

We should have generic ships that ALL perform the same way.  Just give em generic names. 

 

WG is drunk, broken, etc etc.  BLAH BLAH.....SO ON AND SO FORTH. 

[MrDeaf]

btw, Des Moines is pretty scary up close, if you're in a cruiser or DD yourself, thanks to that fire rate.

[1nc0mp3t3nt_1]

why is it that the SIMS is the forgotten red headed inbred step-cousin of WoWS? It used to be good- why did they nerf it so badly in the first place

[Angry_Vet]

So, the ATL, they're increasing the AA , Wow .... why don't we get more CVs at T7/8/9 first so it just might make a difference.

 

It's almost impossible to find CVs in games when I bring the ATL out of the barn.  Most T6 cruisers will take it out let alone T7/8/9.

 

Best you can do is hide behind something and beat the mostly dead horse as it comes around the island

I don't know about you, but I've been getting quite a few matches with either no CV at all, or 4 CV, 2 per team.

It feels like it's rarer to get matches with 1CV on each team for me.

 

What annoys me, is that I'm usually not in my AAA platform cruisers when i get these matches.

Oh, really?

You are correct. The Montana Performs relatively well against everything but Yamatos. BUT if you ever play high tiers there is always a Yamato in the game. You always run into them in your Montana and they focus on you first because you are a massive ball of xp, and proceed to kill you. The reason why you never see Montanas at higher tiers (unless it's me because I'm a self masochist and just cannot get over the fact that it's just not a good ship) is because if you end up in a game with a Yamato, which you always do, then you have to spend your whole game in fear of running into that Yamato, leading to you being useless the entire game if you don't want to pay 275k in repairs. I know you are gonna say well you should be worried about winning over credits, but when you die going against the Yamato and end up doing jack **** against it, and then lose 200k credits trying to secure the team the win it can be demoralizing.

Yea so we will set up the two tier X bbs to where one dunks on the other everytime and the other is completely useless due to all the cv nerfs

[Tedster_]

 

Oh, really?

 

while a nice shot, that des moines F'd up by trying to turn like that.

Yup, the US ships in general being ****. Working as intended comrade

Standard Des Moines gameplay

I have a 39% win rate on that piece of crap

I think the real issue is that there are only two nations with a BB line. Perhaps when more nation's BB's are added then the Montana will fair better, because I think it is well established that the Yamato will be the ultimate BB in the game. Also I read on the Q/A either on the Russian forum or EU that they are considering about adjusting the Montana/ IE buff?

[MrDeaf]

 

Oh, really?

 

I think you just totally outplayed him, honestly.

You got into a better position, and he exposed his broadside, when he shouldn't have.

Had he played that better, by shooting out your turrets and not exposing his broadside, your Pensa would have been the one that was sunk.

[Marcanbus_NA]

The Des Moines is really really bad. The only ones who say its not have not played the ship. I'm a good player and yet I have 39% ratio in it.

Let's treat WoWs like NASCAR. Make every ship the same  - a "ship of tomorrow". Then it's only captain skill that makes the difference. No more ship balancing, no more buffing or nerfing. And surely no more whining. Play the game!

[Lampshade_M1A2]

"Capitalist pig-dog ships sink to bottom like they should, no major imbalances comrade!"

[Wo_9]

As much as i love Iowa I think its really sad when USN only excel at tier 9 and fall very short at tier 10. except for midway perhaps but, its not a very big advantage at all.
