  • Why would you want to play anything else but this ship? Why should I, as both a player and TH-camr, care about any other nations except the current dominator of WT NF RB?
    If you want to send me a WT replay for featuring you, pls also add screenshots of the post battle results, if your vehicle is not fully upgraded, also a screenshot of the module and also a description of the battle with timestamps of important decision makings or actions.

    For anyone that's curious the most consistent way you'll be able to kill a Graf Spee is to aim for it's rear turret ammo rack. The front is way to armoured but the rear suffers the same weakness as the Admiral hipper/Prinz Eugen

    Why am I a part of the community that doesn't play naval forces?
    1) I couldn't care less about PT boats ; I don't want to play them, but the only way to go past is to pay up. PT boats vs DD/CL/CAs isn't the same as low tier tanks vs high tanks ; a tank is still a tank, a torpedo boat is nothing like a large cruised with big guns engaging at several km. I'm certain there are quite a few players that are equally put off by the perspective of playing tugboats, who would consider playing the gamemode if Tier I and II could simply be skipped.
    2) The one nation that would make me pull through this aversion is not present, and not even announced (since Gaijin originally discarded it because, unlike Russia, it didn't have enough shitty PT boats).
    3) No nation vs nation gameplay : that's a big part of the appeal of warthunder, to pit warring nations against each other ; what I don't want is for the same "meta" vehicle to be on either side because that's boring.
    4) No Sim gamemode : it doesn't even have to be different from RB from the ship PoV, just make it event or EC based and lock aircraft into pilot view + full real controls.
    5) Badly designed gamemode : from what I can tell from your videos, and comparing with other games (and a bit of historical knowledge), ships aren't survivable enough, and objectives aren't all varied, meaningful and possibly assymmetrical. What would be fantastic would be playing something like the "Academy" missions from Ultimate Admiral : Dreadnoughts (w. assymmetrical teams but also objectives). Just like top end jets, it also seems to me that cruisers should be less numerous per team in general, just to avoid what we could see at the beginning of your video : a clusterfuck of ship simply open for turkeyshooting.
    Also, the fact that, unlike Wargaming, Gaijin has not been able to create an environment where DDs and CL/CAs coexist on the same battlefield with each his own contribution to make. (I personally put this down to excessive accuracy and lack of stealth for the smaller ships).
    It's not like I don't care for the idea of naval forces. I enjoy watching your videos and all... but there's just those factors that make me go "nah" when I wonder if I should play.

  • @matty922117
    @matty922117 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I have to disagree with you on this one. The "why should I care" is a mentality that only people who have access to all the vehicles in the game can have. The reason why you should care is that whilst you where having the time of your life dominating the game everyone else was being one-shotted from across the map. Of course, this is not your fault (but Gaijin's balancing team's) but the "why should I care, I will use the OP vehicle of the moment and just move on to the next one" is exactly the mentality that fuels powercreep which only benefits either players of that nation or the few that have everything unlocked. Yes, the Graf Spee was designed for that, it was "designed to outgun anything it couldn't chase and run away from anything that it couldn't outgun" but, as Nicholas Moran once said, it was also good at "praying that the Hood wouldn't show up" and for that matter any battleship. Yet we don't have battelships in the game yet. Just as it would be unrealistic for the Graf Spee to engage Heavy and Light cruisers (something it does in game regularly) because they would be fast enough to run away, it would also be unrealistic for the Graf Spee to enter a fight against a Super-Dreadnought (something that doesn't happen in game, for the benefit of the Spee). So why can't we have the USS New Mexico in game? It would always spawn immediately in range of the Spee, one shot it out of the water and then dominate. In fact, they should add it, they shouldn't give a counter to any other nations, everyone else will cry, American players will have the time of their life and you can make another "why should I care video" because you were able to get your hands on it. See where I'm going?

Of course, it's absolutely not your fault, like I said, it's Gaijin's, only an idiot would give the fault to you and you shouldn't even have to defend yourself. I'm sorry that the developers have not been listening to you because I know that your general idea of what the game should be is way better than what it is, but you shouldn't give up, as I know you won't and you should care, as I know you do.
      Ps. You should have also touched on the fact that the Germans are also the only nation with guided bombs (although both the UK and US had their own versions of the Fritz-X). Making the Graf Spee, Prinz Eugen and Admiral Hipper combo even more OP if you include the Fritz-X armed bombers.
      Also, I unlocked the Portland yesterday, for sure it's a better ship than the Pespi and it's more competitive against the Germans, but it's still not enough imo.

    After months of trying to tough it out, gaijin finally broke me. Another patch goes by with more heavy cruisers added and STILL no br decompression. I can no longer play non-American or German ships above 4.3 anymore. I can’t take it. It is impossible to effectively grind any cruiser at 5.0 and maintain sanity. I want the Mogami, but the Kuma’s literally can’t harm anything like the Hipper outside a lucky toro hit 5 minutes after it blows you out of the water. Combined with that the moronic situation with parts and fpe, and the fact that now one random HE hit to the tip of your bow instantly causes a massive 4 alarm fire across the entire ship, and stock grinding is even more unbearable than it ever has been. I can no longer grind cruisers until AT LEAST they fix the br’s.

    Whole cruiser matchmaking should be rebuild. 5.0 should fight only 5.0, not lower and not higher. Same with 5.3 and 5.7. 5.7 must be separated into 5.7 and 6.0. All top dogs such as Spee, Hipper, Eugen, London, Mogami, Pensacola and Portland should be 6.0. And for cruisers only open water maps must be available. Leave the islands for lower BR’s. I understand that, if all such changes would be made, in the beginning waiting time will increase and numbers of players in 5.0 and 5.3 will decrease, but I think that it’s going to be only temporarily. When freshly grinded first stock 5.0 cruiser won’t be thrown as a piece of meet to Spee and other tops, probably there will be sense to research cruisers and play them, and naval player base will hopefully start to grow. Cause otherwise naval is gonna become PvE very soon. Sadly.

    The Helena will effectively drop the top German ships if;
    You buy “Ace” and max out to crew 100... also, you need to keep approximately 15km distance to have appropriate time to dodge incoming fire (serpentine pattern). Lastly, don’t give a favourable angle! If a salvo drops to port, turn port as the enemy will correct to your starboard. If you need to turn 180, start turn, cut engines for 3 seconds, then back to flank speed.Like drifting a skyscraper. Aiming is like no other game, war thunder is painfully realistic and makes you correct for everything. Learn how much to lead targets based on your speed, angle and distance. Each type of gun is different and leads differently. For example; Brooklyn secondary is 5”/25 where as the Helena variant has 5”/38. The longer barrel changes the required amount of lead, it is slightly less but similar. At 6km it isn’t notable but it’s the difference of hitting or missing at 10km. Ammo choice matters as much as aim when dealing with German 5.7 ships. Quite simply, light them on fire then poke holes and repeat. Only switch ammo types after a reload or it takes twice as long. Keep in mind, when you switch ammo types, the guns are loaded with the round you are switching from. I usually load 1000 AP, 2000 HE and VT secondary.

    People who play these games for years and care about the state of play for everyone truly know the game better than the devs themselves. They cannot design the game and focus on playing it day after day making 1000's of videos and content trying to help the community and grow an audience. Evidenced by their own "guides" something I see a lot of devs doing with little or no purpose and direction. I completely agree with everything you said. If 1 person is having all the fun, players will get fed up and leave. If events take longer than a couple hours a day I think that is irresponsible for the developer. Many people play games an unhealthy amount and this can cause problems for people personally whether physical, mental, or social. I think devs need to think more about why they are making games to begin with because there are way better and easier ways to make money.

    You are right, none of us should care as long as we play top dog. However, we all know that it is matter of time until gaijin adds something that absolutely destroys graf spee and then it will become your problem, because advantage is no longer on your side. It is typical human nature and all of us are prone to it. Yet, we all like this game and we want to continue liking it as there is nothing better anyway, right?
    Then, why should anybody care if it is not his job? Because for you it is not a job but your fun and no human being wants his/her entertainment go away, in the long term, it is ultimately in everyone´s interest, well made pvp game can sustain income for gaijin and fun for everyone only by its nature (unlike of pve that needs something new as fast as possible).
    I think that everyone should ask this same question.
    I guess that would be my answer if someone asks me... Why you care? Just play Spee LoL.

I don’t care about war thunder a long time ago, in the old days, when I got the KV220 and become god of the match I felt bad because I was ruining every other player’s game and their time. But now, when I got the Graf Spee and I nuke people I don’t feel a thing, the “normal players” are a FEATURE for top players, and by adding those, top players will be always bullying and get satisfied and keep investing time and money well as other people will be so frustrated that they will either pay to progress or tormenting themselves. Gaijin wins in the end.
    So don’t feel bad about balance, because it’s the imbalance that make this game attracted to you mentally. Hell, after playing war thunder I’m more keen on the idea of video game makes you violent cause I can’t recognize myself when I’m tryharding lol.

They are not listening to the players (although we are the customers, and customers are always right aren't they?), they are not listening to the front desk sellers of the game (yes those are you Napalm and the other TH-camrs either you want it or not)... Noone!
    And when they recently announced to reward bug reports I just laughed. I laughed hard! In the last year I reported 5 bugs and 4 of them were completely removed from the forums without any warning... One of the mods approved my threads and he even replayed askinh for more info on the bugs, and I answered, and the next day Boom my post was gone!!! So I have exactly the same feelings Napalm, why would I even care?

    I just stick with destroyers and avoid cruisers. To be honest, the destroyers are more fun anyway, like the cavalry of the seas and too low BR wise to run into the heavy monsters like the Graf Spee. In the naval events you still run into them and all you can do is run away or hope that you can get some torpedoes on, but its still fun that way. I've been having tons of fun with the destroyers no matter which nation it is.

      that was 14inch hit
      "Hit No. 2, which the ship identified as a 14-inch bombardment projectile, detonated on impact with the starboard side plating (15-pound MS) of the hangar about 5-1/2 feet below the boat deck."

    I think submarines could be a great counter to the dominating cruisers while also not getting rid of the "feeling of power" in addition to that, Gaijin should remove the Torpedo markers for torpedos in realistic so you have to pay attention to the waters around you.

      Voidex Much worse. Only destroyers can effectively destroy submarines, but they are easy frags for cruisers. And also sonar mechanic must be made to even be able to find a submarine.

    Lol, at 22:59 you say it is a long battle and this is what you enjoy about naval forces. True for encounter (but on most other maps we still fight with caps) and the all mighty 5.7 lineups of Germany gets defeated by PT boats all the time thanks to the caps.
    Just to be clear. I am on your page. But I stopped playing Naval RB cause of the cap modes and encounter is boring as fuck with opposing teams spawning opposite of each other and either you shoot up the enemy fleet right at the start or you get shot up. Unbalance: not only BR wise but sometimes you end up in a team having one 5.7 cruisers and mostly it's then one of the underrated British one and the enemy team has a squad full of German cruisers and more. These games are lost from the start. Except you bring out the PT boat (but only works in a cap map..). Anyway, there was one game mode that caught my interest in Naval battles again: EC - enduring confrontation. Sadly they do not happen all that often and the last two ones were not playable due to bad servers. Each game ended after 5-10 minutes right when the first players started bringing the heavy cruisers the servers died. This has not been addressed by Gaijin after the EC on Saipan or whatever the name is and the next weekend (the last one) they just released Naval EC on Dover straight. Which was funny, after playing for 20 minutes to get my cruiser my Suzuia spawned half beached with me inevitably dying as I was beached and after respawning in a Destroyer the server died again.... so really I think Gaijin has done a great job of fucking up that part of the game by making it undesirably by everyone so they don't have to fix it anymore.
    By the way Napalm, you are not alone, together we are at least two who see the same flaws in the game. The other part of the community probably still like it as it is.^^
    PS: This made me laugh even harder, later. I tried the Dover Straight EC again, this time an allied Southhampton spawned in me at the same moment I spawned the Suzuia. You have to give Gaijin credits for hiring a non-qualified coder or even worse quality control people for creating EC. This is literally the biggest map in the game and they manage to fuck up the spawns so hard that you either spawn all at the same spot or you spawn halfway on land. I mean how hard can it be to place multiple spawn markers in an ocean that big.

    Guten Abend, Napalmratte. Is it not boring to play Graf Spee? You have everything in this ship - guns, armour, many crew, survivability, e.t.c. - you are just The King of Ocean with Graf Spee, nobody can stand against you, you are true pirate of the seas. When you have everything, the game becomes not competitive and boring, is not it?

    Id say the graf spee is similar to the panzer 4 F2. Its guns are very good but its armor isnt. Been killing graf spees in my nürnberg and hipper left and right by just shooting under the turrets. But when you play it right shes a beast. But i actually dont think shes op. Take it with a grain of salt i only have the russians up to destroyers and all german ships spaded. But since you get to fight the spee with german ships im used to killing it. Pretty much maining naval for the past 2 weeks or so
