You can thanks WG's protection of the lower tiers for the 5-7 imbalance. 5's see 60-70% games in tier 7 now. Piss poor planning, but they don't seem interested in the issue at the moment. One dev stated that it was a "minor issue".... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4,521 [WOLF7] awiggin Members 12,620 posts Report post #7 Posted September 28, 2016 I'm no pro, and I'm only good on Tuesdays apparently lol but its sad tier 5 gets rocked so hard, i mean look at the omaha its a floating paper citadel for anyone I play tier 5-6-7 extensively. I'm actually surprised when I get a top tier battle in 5-6 these days. Most of the ships I run can at least survive a - two tier difference, if I'm very careful. But I'm certainly not going to carry a game or make a huge difference unless the potatoes are out of control. They need to just go 1 tier all the way, and quit creating more problems than they solve.....Unlikely to happen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

722 StoneRhino Members 3,256 posts 4,322 battles Report post #9 Posted September 28, 2016 It happens. I have seen so many that are all tier 5 except 2 tier 7 bb or 1 bb and 1 DD. It can make some ships op because their offensive capabilities. I have noticed that mm is better for CAs in this regard. Luckily no tier 7 CVs yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even then a T7 CV could power through it without issue Edited September 28, 2016 by Vindicationn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10,399 [B2P] Taichunger Members 13,459 posts 44,054 battles Report post #11 Posted September 28, 2016 I have noticed that if you division 3 T5 ships MM seems to do a better job of filling the match with T5s and T6s. I divisioned in Konig thrice today and two matches top ship was one T7, and the others were T5-6. The third was T4-5 in which top BB was NY. That last match we divved a NY, Konig, and Gremy....

116 [Y81] BanditSE1977 Members 836 posts 4,615 battles Report post #13 Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) How about T4/5 match I just had earlier,8 kills.Mind you for the first 5 minutes until I started plinking them it looked like the enemy had the upper hand.I definitely don't claim to be good,this was luck and some already half dead targets. Only time I ever got anywhere near this was taking out Bots with a Hermelin! Edited September 28, 2016 by BanditSE1977 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A top tier player is expected to carry to a certain extent. Looks like your team's T7 carried well. The other team's T7, not so well. When I'm a T5 in a match like this, I position to do as much damage as I can hoping my T7s can carry their weight. Win some. Lose some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus it looks like NY fest. Of all the BB's to face you got the luck of the draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
