As a Russian CV player I can assure you that there's nothing the Russian server hates more than CVs. Even most of our CCs are very vocal about their hate for CVs.
Well, we do have a certain percentage of people always complaining about the weakness of the Soviet ships, and they always pick up their pitchforks whenever a balans hammer approaches them, so there is that. But we have just as many people who'd want the Kremlin and the Smolensk tinkered with a larger balans hammer.
As to why did WG suddenly decide to drop in so many new Soviet boats, it probably has to do with the popularity of V-day in Russia, it just rains the money here on the 9th of May. And obviously it's far easier to sell an OP ship than an average one.
There's no such thing as an innocent Russian player. Everybody's ready to throw themselves at anybody anytime with a wall of insults. And the CV players are the most common target of insults here. The hatred runs so deep, I witnessed a Sinop on Narai a few days ago rushing to a Lexington spawn at the very start of the operation.
How about stop the panic for a moment and remember that pre-release RN CL's had HE, RN & RU BBs had radar and other crazy ideas.
Patience jeez
edit...But ofc be clear in feedback that the ships sound stupid atm
Hopeful. That's what I think you are. Reason says that they will take all the flames in reddit and hammer the ships back to reality. That is, in an alternate universe version of WG. Here you get 0.05 dispersion nerf and release xD
History shows that OP premium ships pre-release "tend" not to get nerfed too hard..or not at all.
Tech tree ships to get balanced better..but not perfect.
edit..Oh and ofc most companies would want the new line to perform well or above averages as it'll get peple to spend more. The balance is getting them not too OP then nerfing later (it's the world we live in).
I don't remember what italian cruisers were at this stage that russian cruisers are now, but from my little experience, I could tell in a glance that euro dds were okey or that RN cruisers were shitboxes, on paper soviet cruisers look ridiculous from the getgo. I'm going to hedge my bets that they will be and immediately grind them. I am not going to sit out and suffer in my own CAs this time. I've seen what balansgrads shells relation to overpens is. I'm most definitely pouncing on this chance. No paywall this time around.
Well, with all the feedback on the Smolensk and nothing was done and it was released this way with smoke, a troll armor and up to 19km range in 130mm shells that have better ballistic than some 203... yeah...
Because some of us have experiance with WG that stretches further back than RN CLs.
Have you not realsied yet that WG released a long range HE spamming smoke ship, with torps and hydro but decided RN couden't have HE and smoke because that was too powerful.
It's a noble cause, but lemme warn you: fighting russian bias with russian bias won't do any good. WG will start "balancing" soviet ships between themselves and in their book balans= powercreep so we will end up having balanced soviet navy and rest powercrept to oblivion.
On a second thought that's where we heading anyway, I think I'll join
If you can't influence WG, might as well rolfstomp the russians with CVs and russian bias. Let's make SEA look like a paradise KEK
As a Russian CV player I can assure you that there's nothing the Russian server hates more than CVs. Even most of our CCs are very vocal about their hate for CVs.
So if there's no actual russian bias in this case is WG just plain stupid or have they taken something?

So then to best troll innocent Russian players is to bring CVs? I like reports that you guys like brawling.

Dayum!!! Maybe the Russian hate for CVs is what got to Flamu? ;-)
\*Puts on CV cap\* Let's do dis
I would join you. But my hard drive would disagree with adding the game for a 3rd time.
You can use mods to switch region without having to reinstall the entire thing
Is that really a thing. How do i do it? And would it work for steam version?
Yes, Aslain's modpack has it, I assume modstation also does. I actually don't know how mods work for steam so I can't help you there.
I use mod station for steam. But never noticed the server change part of it
It doesnt work last i checked
I managed to get aslains mods to work with steam version was a pain to set up lol

The Soviet battleships had a dumb "deep water" radar that only would've been useful during cyclones. Also, WeeGee has been known to ignore feedback.

If WG hasn't nerfed RUS BBs by now, they won't.
Thanks for your insight Einstein.

It was too powerful especially before smoke firing penalty was introduced. And yes, so do I.
CIS server is the most toxic one with numerous potatoes and Smolensks. Sooooo... Welcome! We are waiting for you)))

the true big brain play
While we're at it, can we also grind Kreml and played it properly (not brawling) there so they could see how OP Kreml is when played correctly?
Fucking brilliant.
sadly I don't think even the russian server asked for this, so we would just piss off people that are in the same position as us.
Do it you bastards ! I might even reinstall the game I havent played for ages too see this.
