Anyone still playing this,if so what are your thoughts on the new patch?
It was my first game today after a long,long absence. 4 losses to start with,then a win with the N Cal and finally a 4 haul in my Tirpitz.
I'm not sure I like this new patch and the changes to CV's (although I don't play CV's anyway) but it seems to me that AA cruisers are now pretty much neutered if caught in isolation. I had a game in my AA spec'd Atlanta and Mikhail Kutuzov and the AA seemed ineffectual. With 2 CV's in the Atlanta game I shot down 3 aircraft.
It looks like DD's will be having a hard time with the CV gameplay also.

I've been watching the KOTS (Kings of the Sea) tournament on Twitch the last week or so.It seems that some teams don't even field DD's any more,not because of radar but because of CV's. However that is competitive play,they are still relevant in random battles but they don't seem to be the threat they once were with the new CV game-play,especially if you have a competent CV player. I like to equip my ships with the best AA I can and always try to bunch up for mutual AA support. That's assuming that you get CV's. I'm still seeing quite a few double CV games. Always fun when I play the Lolanta. I'm currently working on getting a 19 point captain for my Tirpitz, however more often than not I end up in T9 and 10 games where HE spamming is my nemesis I'm not exactly sure what the current 'meta' is, certainly CV's can play a more devastating role with their endless supply of aircraft but I'm usually happy to see them in-game. I haven't played T4 for ages so I don't know what to expect down there but there's sure to be incompetents and seal-clubbers alike. Have fun!

Not sure Ajay,but I've avoided ranked for quite a while. Having recently been diagnosed with high BP my doctor said to avoid ranked at all costs! I'm not a good DD player (although my damage record was in the T4 Isokaze-183k) but that was years ago. I moan about getting up-tiered but I have yet to acquire any T9 or 10 ships,I just seem to enjoy playing at T7 and 8. I also play a lot of premium ships,I have nearly 4 million XP that would cost a fortune to convert so that's not going to happen. So far I've bought The Atlanta,Nikolai I,Gremyashchy,Admiral Kutuzov,Graf Spee,Tirpitz,Belfast and Hood. I'd hate to add up what that cost me. I bought the Hood just so I could 100% complete the "Fly! Strike! Win!" event. My weak point is my kill/death ratio,it sits around 1.07 while my win rate is 54%. I can't do any better but I'm happy,stats aren't everything. Sorry to bang on but not much happens in here anymore.

All good Chuck. My win rate is stuck at 55 and change and kd overall is 2.02. I doubt any of that is going to move much owing to 6k plus battles. I should make a new account just to get 1k games up and compare, it would be interesting. I think the only ship i ever paid for was the Murmansk when it was like 15 bucks and i was feeling rich I was being a stat whore for a bit there and had to stop looking as it was affecting my team play, plus i was getting saltier than the Atlantic. T9 10 are cool, slower gameplay generally, you just gotta make sure you are there for those last five minutes. Cruisers as usual make DD life tough and kills are sparse, all about spot and smoking the big boys. The gameplay hasn't really changed despite all the changes, i'm still playing how i was, radar seems same same overall, just planes can constantly beat ya down a bit worse than before. Good luck on the high seas Chuck and don't overpressure:D
