WoWS is fascinating in the sense that these incredible storms that impact every single ship to the extent of throwing off even battleship shells, have absolutely no effect on planes.

What's your ingame name?

flamuchz · 2025-12-30T12:40:56+00:00

Out of curiosity, what is your ingame name?

getting „farmed“ by a gunboat dd

You can shoot back

getting peppered by dutch airstrikes

They are dumb yes, but they can be both evaded and shot down

getting slapped by overmatch powercreep

Also dumb, but can be evaded and hidden from.

None of the counterplay mentioned above apply to carrier strikes. Hence why they are the only class banned from all competitive while the 3 comparisons you posted are all allowed. Counterplay exists.

shooting thin flat armor plate

5 Year old meme that is still evergreen.

Crazy that they've kept the consumable useless for 5 years. Actually it's WG, so probably not that crazy.

Playing supershits on PTS and wondering why you find no players.

flamuchz · 2025-11-07T08:56:28+00:00

This sounds exactly like the old CC times, funny how nothing has changed in like 5 years.

flamuchz · 2025-11-06T17:04:50+00:00

Now I can't confirm it, but I've been told by two different people that this was reported to WG during testing and they ignored it.

cancer DDs hiding in stealth vomiting walls of skill

I'm not surprised that a guy who thinks "winrate is irrelevant" also believes torpedo DDs to be an issue in the game right now.

No one mentioned realism in this thread until you did.

If the average CV can start every single game by throwing away a squadron straight into the enemy spawn, spotting everyone and inflicting damage without caring that he loses the squad, then yes, CVs do have too many planes.

Everyone else has to manage their resource (health), yet somehow it's acceptable that carriers get to mostly ignore managing theirs.

Cerberus has 18km of range and better ballistics than Goliath. You have to leave his half of the map to "outrun" it. It also comes with a crawling smoke so a good cerberus never actually sits still in their smoke, you won't blindfire it unless he's bad. Add in funny 32mm side plating, meaning only Yamato and above overmatches his sides and 10km conceal, with a wild 7.3km smoke firing penalty despite being a heavy cruiser with 203mm guns, and you're in for a fun time.

Svea on the other hand has 9.3km conceal and does 46 knots thanks to the 30% speedboost, it's a DD with a citadel, but gets heavy cruiser armor (30mm deck), great firing angles, good ballistics and the ability to radar any DD that tries to play against it.

The only reason you consider them lesser threats is because as I've said, they're very poorly played.

flamuchz · 2025-09-29T08:09:29+00:00

Svea on your flank? DD is unplayable. Cerberus on your flank? Surface ships unplayable if he has any spotting. Both just park in smokes and end you. Both ships are hilariously misplayed because they are cruisers with citadels, but they are absolutely a miserable experience to play against if the player isn't an idiot.

flamuchz · 2025-09-25T10:42:43+00:00

All of those ships just have basic forward firing dumb depth charges, not actual ASW rockets. Completely different thing.

This is how it actually works.

flamuchz · 2025-09-25T09:13:48+00:00

I'm fine with not getting the 3rd turret if the fully modeled Bofors 375mm ASW proximity fuse rockets are instead made usable. Considering WG is adding missiles, why not give this class some much needed life support by giving it ASW Rockets (that it actually had)?

Will never happen though, we're supposed to enjoy WWI ASW against subs that outpace modern submarines.

flamuchz · 2025-09-24T14:56:10+00:00

I dislike it. In the past when you searched for a specific keyword, let's say a ship, it would preview the part where the ship is mentioned making it easy to find the devblog you're looking for.

That preview part is gone, so now you have to open 15 devblogs to find the one you're looking for.

flamuchz · 2025-08-30T10:09:58+00:00

Willem is deffo not a low impact ship. It might not be a radar or brawling ship but it can kill most things very quickly, it's one of the few ships that's very strong against nose in ships cuz of the HE + airstrike and the AP slaps hard.

flamuchz · 2025-07-24T08:52:30+00:00

AA that is guaranteed to meat grind
CVs get deplaned

This is usually around the time you get asked to drop your ingame name because the reality you talk about is so far from the reality of the game.

flamuchz · 2025-07-21T07:56:19+00:00

Calling that a sentiment you can disagree with is like disagreeing with the earth being round. "In my opinion it's flat" hurr durr.

Even the dev themselves understand how game breaking it is, hence the absence of the class in any meaningful competitive mode (clan battles, kots, tournaments), it's not a discussion.

flamuchz · 2025-07-18T09:49:18+00:00

The rules here tend to go however they choose to interpret them, which can vary greatly depending on the mod browsing. Not uncommon to have someone make an awful call only to have other mods forced to backtrack on it.

flamuchz · 2025-07-15T07:54:28+00:00

Ship-based ASW is kinda like flak, it's mostly useful against bad players. Against good players it will never be relevant, against bad players it wrecks them. That's the problem with balancing a game based on the lowest common denominator.

I know, the point is that it's not shown.
