And that is not even the point here.
Cruisers are little more than shitty free XP for the BBs.
Not that this even begin solving the CVnt problem.
>>121804371
That's the problem. Cruisers feel entitled to fight battleships on equal terms, and win, while they're not supposed to. They can fight them and add up damage, perhaps sink them given enough time and the BB being distracted, but they should not be able to win a 1v1.
Battleships are supposed to counter cruisers, which before this patch they could. Cruisers are supposed to group with BB's to keep CV's at bay, hunt down DD's, while adding extra HE and fire damage.
DD's should get a buff so they can actually counter BB's before shimakaze/fletcher/gearing, but the recent cap-XP patch has helped them quite a bit, increasing their numbers, which in turn makes cruisers more relevant than ever.
Also, stop going full hyperbole. CAsuals only get insta-deleted when they show their broadsides. Decent cruiser drivers keep evading and angling, dodging most shells and diminishing the chances of a citadel hit. If the BB keeps trying to hit you after that, he either isn't shooting the other ships that are damaging it, or you're alone against the BB, which is a fucking stupid idea. It's the same as a baBBy complaining about being insta-deleted by TB's, when he was sailing alone.
Is there a more satisfying feeling than making cocky cruisers turn tail by citpenning them with BB guns?
>>121807347
Setting fires on a Hotel with DBs when she just used repair crew.
Why are the Myogi's gun placements a downgrade from the Kawachi?
With the Kawachi I could abuse the guns on both sides in offensive and defensive situations by turning slightly. On Myogi it's just 3 slow ass turrets.
>>121807130
>baBBy: The Post
You are not worse than the CVnts, but certainly more dumb.
>>121807130
I think you replied to the wrong guy friendo, I'm the guy complaining about CA's being able to show broadside and just get hit for minimum damage.

In all honesty, increased cruiser survivability is a good thing, but HE and fire damage needs to be tweaked down, plus the AP penetration/dmg on some cruisers, like Zao.

† CV
BONGS WHEN?
I am on Izumo (no more than 10 games in so far) and it's not that good - not nearly as painful as people claim so far, so eventually I'll have Yamato
I also just got the Nurnberg and EVENTUALLY I'll get the Hindenberg
But what if bongs are not out by then? What will I do? I love the idea of playing with Hotel but surely too much of it will result in boredom
>>121808197
Now that I think about it, wasn't the current citadel overpen mechanic present in the beta weekends? I remember the outrage when we entered CBT and cruisers began exploding on citadel hits. But back then they could at least pen BB's with AP. Then they nerfed AP, and brought HE and fire damage to the levels they're at today.
All that WG needs to do now is to bring down HE/Fire damage, and we'll be back to the glorious beta weekend days. Which is, like, what we've always asked for.
I'm hyped for the outcome of this.But knowing WG, they'll rollback the patch, or manage to fuck it up further.
>>121808197
I wouldn't have a problem with a bit more survivable CAs, just as long as they stop taking less damage from showing broadside because of overpens.

5.1.1 rollback soon
>>121808638
Basically at some point they fucked up something damage model of areas where thickness of armor changes. That resulted in many ships not having any fucking armor right above the belt, it became especially bad with German CAs and their thousands of layers of armor. BaBBies actually believed that's how it was intended to work and now it's too late to fix because of all the whine.
>>121808398
Prepare to be disappointed.
The 20th century Royal Navy literally ran on bad ideas, momentum and everyone else thinking they still mattered.
>>121808747
Ideally, CAs would take citadel damage when showing their broadsides like a dumb nigger, but should avoid taking such damage by maneuvering.
Sort of like it was in the alpha.
When the game was not shit.
>>121808398
Right after Soviet CVs.
>>121809509
BB damage was intended. That's why it stayed unchanged for most of the year. But to account for the increased damage which cruisers took, they received more effective HE, and fires were made more damaging.
Hopefully, this will go like >>121808638
says, and we'll go back to the glorious beta weekend days, in which the game was better balanced than what we've been playing since January.
Had it been an intended change, with a comprehensive rebalance of cruiser damage to go along with survivability, it would've been fine.
The main issue here is how many players will the game bleed. This was the result of incompetence, and people are very angry.
>>121809290

>>121810448
>revert changes
Anon, this is WG.
Reverting changes might imply fallability, which is why changes are never, ever reverted even if they are the most retarded thing ever.
A more likely outcome is that they will collect data, then nerf all armor across the board so that HE now pens everyone.
>dev on RU forum says its working as intended
fuck this game can't we just get a european studio instead
>>121809509
That is maybe the one good thing.
WG simply doesn't give a fuck about the whiners.
The downside always is that they also ignore actually good ideas.
>>121810545
As much as I hate CVnt's, killing an entire class is not the solution. The fighter skill "bug" (I hope it is a bug), coupled with the outrage from the armor changes, and Fallout 4/starcraft 2 release could very well kill the game into the same death spiral as WoWP.
CV's need to get balanced, not made into a grief machine for both sides like arty was in WoT.
>>121811116
>hurr I want them to leave the bug alone
Just wait for balance fixes you fucking baBBy. I bet you're aim assist shitter as well.
>>121811315
I've pretty much quit for now. Don't know if I will be coming back I enjoyed all types of ships. But now half of my ship classes I enjoy are just shit on. Why play at all.
Steel Ocean soon.
>>121811315
>Fo4 coming out the same time WG kills my enjoyment of the game I was sinking most of my time into
well
at least they were kind to do it now, so until they fix it I have something to dowhile I delay doing all my uni work piling up
Are BaBBies still mad they can't instadelete ships anymore?
I don't know what they're whining about, having gone down both CA/BB lines, this is a welcome change. BBs are still potent, but now they gotta think twice before committing against a group of CAs. I'm still capable of getting shot down to 1/2 hp in one salvo but I'm also noticeably sturdier now. At least a CA can still put up a decent fight instead of getting deleted the moment a BB just so much as sneezes on him.
>>121814592
Nobody is complaining because CA's aren't oneshottable, it's that CAs in literally their most vulnerable positioning now affords them a higher chance of surviving because showing their broadside means that higher pen shells will just overpen and do minimum damage.
They're literally getting rewarded for playing worse.
>>121814592
When was the last time a DD put up a decent fight against your cruiser?
Never, that's right. Cruiser vs BB interaction is supposed to be the same way. And even then, it never was since cruisers actually have always had a chance when fighting BB's, unlike DD's which can never hope to beat a cruiser.
Remember, this was a bugfix with unintended consequences. The game was balanced as WG desired before 5.1. If WG does keep the armor fixes, expect a HE/Fire nerf since those were balanced around fragile cruisers.
Don't get too used to CAsual dominance.
>>121815106
I've experimented around with NC and I'm getting good results with HE now. I'm switching ammo ore often now when previously it's unthinkable. Of course thins changes things to the point I'm not able fight a group of CAs easily now, but at least I'm seeing more and more BBs with cruiser escort unlike previously, which is a good thing in my opinion.
Maybe babbies should adapt instead of expecting WG to bend to their every whim.
I'm not saying this is a good update overall because there's still the bullshit with DE and the side effect of the more more daring CAs resulting in HE and fires being more potent. However, seeing moreteamworkamongst cruisers taking down BBs together instead of each hiding to save their own ass is a welcome change.
Of course, it's laughable that this whole easy AP citpen was a bug in the first place and its fix brought about the shitstorm we have now. They really should have sorted this out before releasing this game for good; at least then they could have run the excuse of working as intended now :))))))))))
just unlocked dess, what am i in for?
>>121815494
>3 cruisers actually have always had a chance when fighting BB's
BBs can shoot HE and they will do more damage than cruisers of the same tier. You're just so used to citraping everything in your never-sunk-a-ship-for-a-reason boat you don't even notice it.

Frankly I wouldn't be that mad if it wasn't for the fact that at closer ranges Zao's and Hindenburgs now straight up outdamage a Yamato in a un-angled 1 on 1 broadside shootout even before taking fires and torpedoes into consideration, and that's from having played it from both sides.
>>121816801
>tier 6 player
>>121816082
>BBs can shoot HE and they will do more damage than cruisers of the same tier.
Spoken like someone who compared some numbers instead of ever actually trying it. Have fun getting barbecued while two thirds of your shells miss the smaller and more maneuverable ship. If the cruiser has any clue what the fuck they're doing and is hanging back raining fire, the only saving grace of a battleship is a lucky citadel pen. He can't outrun it and he can't chase it down. I seriously do not understand the mentality of you people who want every ship in the game to shit on BBs. As it is now they don't have a role. Cruisers play cruiser removal much better, they don't get shit on by DDs and CVs, and they can actually move fast enough to play the objectives.
>>121816986
>tfw you have at least one >t8 of each class
Stay mad, babby. I'm going to enjoy the countless fires at your expense and there's nothing you can do about it. Worst case scenario they patch it back to before and I'll just go back to playing my CV or even BB.
>>121816986
>Cruisers play cruiser removal much better
They don't. I play CVs, I've seen some shit.
I didn't even say that everything is balanced now by the way. I just pointed out that you have to be an incredible shitter to think a cruiser ever had a chance against a battleship of the same tier. Especially before this patch. Well, maybe Louis can melt Kawachi and SoCar.
>get shit on by DDs
A week ago DDs were whining how they are shitted on by everything, now a baBBy whines he gets shitted on by everything including DDs. You lot should decide who is useless in the end.
>>121815494
And BBs can beat up DDs as easily when DDs are supposed to be the hard counter.
>>121818489
>Especially before this patch.
I don't think anyone was ever arguing that a BB was outclassed 1v1 by a CA before this patch.
>>121818658
>DDs are supposed to be the hard counter.
CVs are supposed to be the hard counter.
Just like real life.
>>121818814
But WG advertised it as RPS.
Oh wait, I forget they revoked it. :^)
>>121818814
>I don't think anyone was ever arguing
>>121815494
>cruisers actually have always had a chance when fighting BB'
>>121818932
I wrongly read it as outclassed, because that's the point I've been arguing.
Yes, assuming equal skill a CA used to be almost always at a disadvantage in a 1v1 against a BB (although I'll maintain that the Jap ones at least did stand somewhat of a chance within torpedo range), and now it's the other way around, and both situations are retarded because WG has been balancing the whole game around a bug for ages. Which, they then (without any announcement in testing or patch notes) fixed and expected nothing major to happen.
I mean I guess I'm not that surprised.
>>121816923
Are you saying the game shouldn't be balanced around the mid-tiers? If anything should be balanced, it's the spot where most people will be playing. It's not like ranked battles are tier 2 or tier 10 either.
>>121811315
>not made into a grief machine for both sides like arty was in WoT.
fuck you I like arty.
>>121820839
You and nobody else
>>121819730
You don't even know man. Just look at WoT. During CBT their engine was even worse than it is now and tanks basically teleported until theywere 300m away from you. T-44 at tier 8 used to helicopter dick tier 10 heavy tanks because it could get close without being shot. Then they fixed it and it turned out that medium tanks are shit and they had to add tier 9 and 10 which lead to a series of disasters. WoWs is a smooth sailing.
>>121815494
>Don't get too used to CAsual dominance.
Yeah, because the mindless baBBie clickfest was SO MUCH MORE fun.
The asshurt baBBies are literally as bad as the whining CVnts and the ST fucboi club on the official forums.
>>121815825
>I'm not able fight a group of CAs easily now
>I should be able to fight three people at the same time and win because I'm in a BB!
Wow, BBs were just as delusional as the CVs.
That is literally the same argument the CVnts have used to justify 3k avg XP for the past six months.
>>121821137
>no danger of being killed other than that one light tank that slips through every 1 in 20 games
>literally one or two shot everything from across the map
how is this not fun?
>>121818489

Maybe, but that is more a case of t3 BBs being so horrible inaccurate that they can hve shells flying off to the moon and being rolled overboard in the same salvo.
>>121821560

He'saying it's a good thing, you illiterate fuck. Exactly because he's not able to solo 3 CAs, there's more instances of some semblance of teamwork, what with BBs needing cruiser escorts now.
>>121821819
No I am not well.
I just wanted to vent anger at WG's incompetence.
I watched this game that was just plain great fun in the late alpha turn to complete shit in beta.
And now, half a year later the player count is dropping and dropping and WG finally starts fixing the retarded shit they introduced, and the fucking baBBies are whining about the game getting fixed.
Literally worse than CVnts.
Is it so hard to understand that one or two classes outperforming the other two or three classes by such a huge margin is simply not good, and can ultimately only hurt the game?
>>121822574
>Is it so hard to understand that one or two classes outperforming the other two or three classes by such a huge margin is simply not good, and can ultimately only hurt the game?
All the people leaving World of Cruisers understand it perfectly clear. Cruisers could do fine against a battleships before if they were careful. I've experienced it from both ends plenty of times. Now battleships are just obsolete. Massive damage on the rare occasions that RNG shines in your favor was literally the only thing they had going for them.
>>121823028
>Cruisers could do fine against a battleships before if they were careful
no, not really. not until the Zao.

BBs should be a high skill class that can't easily be taken down.
CVs and DDs should be higher because of their influence.
Cruisers need to be retard proof.
The sad part is, anyone can use CVs/DDs/BBs so it they have to lower the skill floor.
>>121802649
Good OP.
>>121825493
>musashi
no
>>121824396
Armor is now working as intended, which means citadel pens are next to impossible. So cruisers can broadside HE spam on BBs all day with impunity. Add to that how rewards were nerfed across the board but buffed in return for capturing points, something BBs are terrible at. And then there are the long standing issues like fires being overpowered and dispersion being unbearable at ranges greater than spitting distance. The only purpose for battleships anymore is to soak up damage while cruisers do the real work. And somehow this is the most balanced the game has been since alpha, now that the only threat to cruisers is useless.
>>121823028
No, anon.
No cruiser, no matter how good and careful could ever hope to repeatedly and consistently defeat a BB of equal skill in any given number of repeatable scenarios
.
Yes, HE spamming 6" cruisers are frustrating and annoying as fuck to fight against, and can actually deal more than their own hitpoints in damage to the BB, and can actually survive if RNGesus shits all over the BB.
Remember when the beta came out and all teh alpha testers said that balance was now completely fucked?
How BBs were now shitty RNG slotmachines and cruisers relegated to retarded HE spam?
WG for some retarded reason decided that this unfun bullshit meant 'balance'.
Turns out that HE spam is not fun for anyone, but since it's the only thing cruiserss could still do the napalm-hose playstyle of Cleveland and Mogami became the yardstick.
Not that this is fun, for anyone involved.
That has never stopped WG, see CVs and all their problems, or arty in WoT.
The one big exception to the above is invisifiring, which is an idiotic concept, only works on a small number of ships and mostly became the go-to setup becasue literally every oter way of playing cruisers meant getting fucked by cirpens all day, see the performance of US cruisers.

I wonder if these changes will mean that Montana's multi-deck armor will finally work. Hopefully, this may also mean an end to the bow-to-front-reversing-Yamato-trenchlines META that fucks up T10's almost as much as Midway.
The sad thing about this fuck up is that the fighter skill bug seems to have slipped through unnoticed.

Don't even try to correct me you lowlife.

Sure thing, baBBie
WG stated that the pen mechanics that so massively benefitted BBs were a mistake in the first place.
And now they are used to deleteing cruisers with AP that they cannot comprehend how a simple switch to HE will allow to keep winning, but they refuse to even consider that becasue at their core they are still teh linesurfing, islandhugging baBBies who did everything they could.

You realize this fucks over 8" AP as well right?
I haven't been able to citpen shit in my New Orleans since this patch came out, not even Atagos. I don't even get the token 1.5k overpen damage the BB's do, I get about 450.
I've literally been forced to fire nothing but HE at everything.
>>121840227
It's designed to get players to start throwing shekels at the game for premium and/or free xp conversion. Upgrades or higher ranks=better right? Worst part about this game is tier 9 and 10 are terrible at the moment and nobody should be rushing towards them.

Nigga what?
>>121840227
The dev's excuse was that they didn't want people blowing through all the content in a week, so the experience gains are total shit. And they've only gotten worse while more content was added. There's no excuse for not even getting 2x daily bonus. The daily mission rewards have remained unchanged since prices were a fraction of what they are now too, rendering them completely useless. Changing the beta rates and prices was a huge mistake.
>>121840783
With the way the game is bleeding players, you'd think they'd learn people aren't taking the bait.
>>121840154
>WG stated that the pen mechanics that so massively benefitted BBs were a mistake in the first place.
They only realized this recently. The entire game has been balanced around it.
Sure, the mechanics themselves were a mistake, but the results were the intended ones. And by results, I mean BB damage averages and overall dominance. BB's have been repeatedly championed by WG as the 2nd carry class, after CV's. CA's and DD's are for support.
Remember kids, it's not only the answer that matters, but the method you use to get to it!
> teh linesurfing, islandhugging baBBies
Funny thing is, this whole AP bug doesn't affect linesurfers at all. It affects the ones who actually push and get into the 10-5km range, because that's where the shells are hitting the citadel roofs at really shallow angles, bouncing off and then exiting, which ends up counting as an overpen and not a parcial citadel hit.
Goes to show how little you understand what's happening, and how much you're just doing this for shitposting.

You can't aim to hit such a small target unless you're basically point blank.
>>121841448
It's not like BBs scored a lot of citadel hits in real life. For that very reason, no less.
>>121841576
At least real BBs had radar
>>121841576
Eh, brawling in my Kongo is fun enough.
>>121840227
When you reach tier 5 the game is already fun since you aren't using botes from 1900-1920's
>>121841698
Nigguh, at least CVnts don't operate from distances greater than 50km in this game.
Dispersion will make your shots hit citadels below waterline whether you're aiming for it or not. BaBBy gameplay is just clicking and praying to RNG god, it will be literally the same as before when they implement it.
>>121841576
Real life BB's scored plenty of citadel hits. How the fuck do you think they sank one another, by shooting the superstructure?
>>121840962
>Changing the beta rates and prices was a huge mistake.

Of course it is anon. I'm playing the long game. Shit tons of new things are coming out for capitals eventually down the pipe in about 6-8 months. I've just got the pre-reqs ready.
>>121853764
if you're playing on a drop why are you invested NOW?
>>121853736
Aggressive use of the market coupled with statistical luck usage predicting balance patches/ market changes.
>>121853885
Because I got the expensive shit for dirt cheap thanks to my contacts. Everything else is just contracted out/shipped. Also I've got nothing else going on.
You do realize that shit is expected to rise in price once these changes go through right? There are entire new capital ships coming out.
>>121854152
>Because I got the expensive shit for dirt cheap thanks to my contacts. Everything else is just contracted out/shipped. Also I've got nothing else going on.
that doesn't make sense, you're buying for cheap now when they're going to be cheap later, you're better off liquidating THEN buying up all the stock after the price drops
>>121854635
Okay anon.
>>121854152
>You do realize that shit is expected to rise in price once these changes go through right? There are entire new capital ships coming out.
regardless, the volume for carriers and dreads is extremely high because they're already made, the price of the parts for those capitals is going to drop especially capital drone bays because I know at least a third of carriers and super carriers is drone bays. The demand for the new capital ships is also dependent on what they're made of and if they aren't fighter or drone based then the amount of drone bays they'll need will be near nothing which means the price of those drone bays and other carrier exclusive parts is going to be shit low.
>>121855117
The same goes for Capital turret arrays for dreadnoughts, if carriers and dreadnoughts are getting an EHP nerf and by default dreads getting their gun's nerfed even with the new T2 capital mods unless the new capital ships use those then there isn't going to be a jump on those prices either
your only and best bet is going to be triage modules, capital capacitor arrays, shield and armor parts, targeting and sensory parts, capital capacitor system parts

Do you just buy a ton of shit, say LSE IIs, when they are low and then sell them when their price goes up? Patch speculation is wayyy too deep for me, but I might try my hand at market trading if I ever go back to EVE. From what I've heard, market PVP is just as exhilarating as as pew pew PVP.

On a more game related note -
Are you planning on giving up on this shithole botesim or continuing to fight a futile battle to make it something more than 1 dimensional HE spam simulator 2015? And why do all the faggots on the NA forum hate you so much now?

Also Seeker, before you call shit, did your patch notes have anything in them about for example.
The increase patrol radius of planes.
The dog fighting bug
and the AP mechanics?
Its possible something was changed that wasn't able to be "removed" or added.

>USS Washington sank the Kirishima
5 km away shooting at turrets. You can do that in the game.
>Bismarck sank the Hood
Probably the only instance of an artillery capital ship sinking another capital ship from significant distance after Jutland. Possibly a detonation slut just like Mutsu.
>Muh citadels
There were more battleships destroyed by their own crews than by other BBs.
>>121864789
>Are you planning on giving up on this shithole botesim or continuing to fight a futile battle to make it something more than 1 dimensional HE spam simulator 2015?
nah I'm giving up, I'm going to keep playing my Taiho and Koenigsberg, and keep fighting my futile battle on the forums.
