Today I decided to leave the game. I still have a premium account until the end of the year. I have a lot of purchased premium vehicles that I still haven’t had time to play. I won’t list all the bad things that interfere with the game, it will take a lot of time.
To the point. I played on 6.3 SMS Von der Tann. I got against Scharnhorst. We both stood still. He shot at bots, I shot at him with armor-piercing rounds from the 283 caliber.
The whole battle! I shot at his side from 10 km at the front turrets.
I ran out of ammunition and I still couldn’t do anything to him. I broke his turret twice, but he fixed it until my next salvo ±20 seconds. In the end, he made 2 salvos and I died.
What’s the point of playing such a game? Entering and exiting the battle 5-10 times in a row seeing 7.0.
This is ridiculous. And boring. Playing when an invulnerable enemy kills you on respawn in 2 volleys. Stupid.
Paying for such a game the price of x2 cool AAA projects is even stupider.
You have no choice but to leave the game.
That’s your choice. As a veteran player of the game (I’ve had other accounts), I hope you return.
I understand your frustration with this specific ship, and believe me, I opened a thread about the same issue of invulnerability and its shells piercing the thickest armor at any distance.
I don’t think you should quit the game; instead, just play with the ground or air vehicles you’ve acquired! Since you’ve invested money, at least make that investment worthwhile and not something wasted in vain.
The naval mode has many problems, one of them being the META, which seems to have locked onto the Sharnhorst, making it immune to any kind of caliber, only dying to airplane bombs or torpedoes.
It’s really problematic since it forces us players to invest in Germany, where the best ship in all aspects belongs to this nation.
I hope you come back, and have a great day, my friend.
Thats a matchmaker problem. Facing the Scharnhorst with anything that is not 7.0 should not be possible. Same goes with USS Alaska, they are quite literally indestructable if you only have a 6.3 shitty Dreadnaught.
That is a problem, this area of the Scharnhorst is quite possibly inpenetrateable.
It has 320mm of armor + 105mm addon armor + 350mm armor at the turret casings (i dont know the correct term for the part of the turrets that is below deck) adding up to 775mm of armor. And if the ship is angled it gets even higher.
The game seems to have stalled at 7.0 and power creep isn’t going upwards but sideways. This results in 6.0/6.3 essentially being double uptiered.
7.3+ needs to arrive sooner rather than later or else the already bad compression that’s present throughout naval will just get worse with each update.
I don’t play as much high tier as I would like because I am uptiered so often and grinding through 6.x is demoralising. Collecting 7.0 event vehicles eases the PAIN a little but of course these involve another grind to earn them in the first place and they can’t be meta when Scharns etc are around with better all round performance.
I have essnetially given up playing top tier naval, even with the HMS Hood which is one of the few ships that can “counter” Scharnhorst. Its just not fun gameplay at the moment., Cruisers are quite good fun, though the compression sucks.
People complained about the USS Brooklyn that they will leave…and complained later about Prinz Eugen… and so on. You see, this WT naval is always the same, one nation get a clubber, clubbing so long another nation get a bigger clubber but only USA, Germany, Japan and Soviets, all the other nations don’t get a clubber at the top. This game doesn’t continuously gather and analysing player feedback on naval combat experiences to identify areas for improvement are not taken into consideration, otherwise we would get balance.
Absolutely right, the game has been turned into a pursuit of “imbalanced equipment”. Continuously pump - pump - pump. And to play? NO. Only endless pumping for the sake of pumping. You will not pump anything unless you buy premium equipment and a premium account. And you will constantly update premium equipment of a new rank. And for all nations. Tired of the game, no gameplay, no pleasure from the game. Just a waste of time. It is easier to change the game than to convey something to the management. They doomed themselves.
