🦾🌟 Hey @PotatoQuality very glad you put this video out and made the points you made. Opening bit with the World of Warplanes was icing on the cake. The aerial spotting is so completely broken in this game generally, but made so much worse by this ship... There is also zero justification to allow hybrid with hybrid divs, or sub with sub divs, for the same reason there are no CV with CV divs. And CV and hybrid divs should also be prevented IMO. I think WG watches your videos and takes notes but what that will lead to is anybody's guess. Appreciate you speaking truth!

[@gameover_477]

In all honestly all hybrids are a problem. Maybe that'll change with CV re-rework but as it stands these ships have the same free spotting as CVs and get no punishment for losing squadrons since reload time is always the same regardless of how many are lost. Now on the other hand they're a problem to their own team since players think they're CVs with guns instead of ships with planes so they go hiding all game slinging planes instead of playing the objective.

ok the intro caught me off guard that was funny

[@dawfydd]

i think the issue is that if you have more than one of these you can really force enemy ships into situations that get them killed- or close so you halt an entire flank sometimes. Combined with the gameplay of the current playerbase being very campy anyone who pushes gets punished massively hard. If anything i'd make the cooldown of the planes longer and one puts the other on CD for a set amount of time so you aren't working around whenever they're off CD. But yeah these ships force the enemy into dying by your team more- which is how they're broken without doing more damage.

[@dawfydd]

I'd also consider making ASW longer range- which doesn't make them more effective because of travel time, and also reduce it to one at like 10% cd for only one squad so subs are an issue for hybrid's. and also i'd make the spread on both wider, the first plane shot down by AA that middle torp plane, and the other two planes wide spread torpedos unless fully aimed. That could help, the every 5 minute nuke besides making that area a little bigger i'd leave it and just make it so you have to use your guns more, ASW is abit shitter and torpedo planes are less reliable, also cut their spotting by 30% so they can't see as far as normal carriers i'd even make it so they can only see DD's when much closer- but i'd do that for every plane type but rockets imo.

Now that I have it myself I realised just how broken the ship is, 68 Second CD on Torp planes, sure, the damage is not the highest but 9.5 k with 3 hits every 70 seconds is broken, then the ship is quite tank for a cruiser, since it's German it obviously gets a turtle back, then you got fairly good seconderies, and then there are the guns, I went with reload mod, so I got 13.something second reload, on guns that rip BB's in half, they are also quite accurate. Got like 18.6 km range with the reload mod, not great, not terrible. The only balancing factor is the planes have no HP at all, they vanish extremely quickly, so I found myself really not getting a lot of torps and bombs off most of the time.

Although this ship itself seems overpowered when played like this, having her in a 3x div is simply not fair, let alone played by skilled players like PQ. If you have played this ship you know she’s squishy af and the torp damage is close to none. Spotting is the only OP perk she can reliably offer. The bomb hits hard but the cooldown means you won’t get to use them as much before your ship is focus fired and destroyed. Sure the addition of more hybrids hurts the balance of the game big time, but at the end of the day when your enemy has Hildebrand, chances are your teammate will have one too, then all it comes down to is simply skill issue, don’t blame the ship, blame the people piloting her.

Plane drops (torps, bombs, rockets) are pure rng in their placement. Your reticle getting smaller reduces the rng but its still there.
