[@rubinaakther9188]

It was about time someone made a video on the DD situation, thanks for the coverage 😂😂

[@winsusa1150]

Thank you. Half the teams in DDs is almost as bad as a carrier match. I would also suggest a solution for all of the AFK players in the beginning of matches. WG needs to start them all at full throttle. Make them stop their boats or drive into the middle to get destroyed. Hate AFK starters

[@HarmfulDesign]

Interesting idea. I think that any AFK players or anyone who finishes with 0 XP should have double service costs, and their team should have no service costs for that match. I also think fail divisions shouldn't be a thing. Why should I have to suffer because someone else has a stubborn friend who won't drop a tier?

[@CamMcCulls-kx6zk]

If you have to confirm you are ready instead of it automatically dropping you into the match after loading, it would certainly help. If you don't confirm, you get bumped and someone else drops in. For those who go AFK in a match, it might help if WG had better servers. I get a broken connection or have performance issues quite regularly and WoWS is the only game it happens on.

[@douglashas]

I like that advice for the developers to add cruiser missions or Bb missions at the same time as the Euro DD missions

[@christofferahnstedt593]

Adding BB missions wouldn’t be helpful. What we need generally (and specifically now, with the destroyer missions) is more people playing cruisers.

[@CamMcCulls-kx6zk]

It happened with the birthday event last year, but was the only time I can remember it happening. There were a lot of BB being played for that event (even though it had cruisers and dds).

[@jackcowling5969]

Been saying it for years. This game needs to limit the amount of destroyers to 3 maximum per game.

[@christofferahnstedt593]

Yup. And the same for battleships.

[@CamMcCulls-kx6zk]

Limit the number of Divisions too!

[@ChrisMDavis-zf7ft]

Yea that’s dumb. I had 5 on each side yesterday in several matches and it’s stupid. The match you are in is ridiculous! Thanks for giving insight on why this happens!

[@phoenixsix1116]

lol yeah, I actually don’t mind this because to your point, it’s an opportunity to go and play something that is a good destroyer hunter (or to counter whatever matchmaking is flooded with). Most recently I was frustrated with the amount of Louisianas at legendary tier… so I was playing my shimakaze for a while 😈😈. Also happens when the campaign ships become available to the masses.

[@hondaman117]

I legit had a game last night with SEVEN DDs per team, AND CVS! Was miserable, at least it was low tier.

[@epic_joker_specgaming4348]

as always a great explanation of the basics and mechanics of the game. if only the general playerbase took as much effort to understand the basics of the game as the effort you put in every video.

[@douglashas]

I’m assuming because of the new DD line. So many people are using DDs right now. I guess that’s why so many DDs. But I understand the frustration. It’s frustrating for all players even us DDs

[@Raptor003-66]

I want to rage quit every game with 4 dds. Especially when I know 3 of my dds are on my blocked list for being inactive or useless. Fun Fact! There is a limit to how many players can be on your blocked list. And yes, you still get matchmaked with them.

[@shanecreamer6889]

I have been running more super cruisers with sonar or radar & ships like the Odin that can really shred DD's. DD gun boats are now more fun to play as well.. 😉

[@gabechilders8423]

I’m absolutely loving the Odin rn with the insane dpm the blue archive commander gives. It just feels like a tier 8 cruiser with great survivability.

[@FIatIined]

Busting out the Plymouth works wonders too! 😊

[@marcoantonioayala2190]

Games with more than 3 dd's per team are horrible, I've found many players trying the Pan-European destroyers and they don't know what they're doing (I've seen many Friesland dying in the first 5 minutes of the game). Then there are the typical Japanese dd's players who get torpedoed inside their smoke screen, the destroyers who spend most of the game behind islands and don't give intelligence, Jägers from the enemy team who do whatever they want because no allied destroyer is looking for them to stop them, among other things. Anyway, I hope Wargaming fixes this soon because it's not fun for anyone when the game is already decided during the first 5 minutes. Good video, greetings!

[@jazzyjd9]

That's a great solution bro. I thought it was the alternative matches like ranked, brawl and such. I'm always in a bb when the heavy dd matches come up smh 😂😂

[@Evilestkhan]

this is happerning alot now.

[@mrbears26]

GG. I have had the same ask of WG for WoT Console - add counter-challenges when they have challenges to play a specific class. They've done that for light tanks and tank destroyers and it gets so annoying seeing half of the team play the same scout class. I think it's a good idea. I hope you can get it some traction in ships!

[@TheLoops73]

I ask them every stream to limit the ships to 3 of each type, they say they don't see a problem with destroyers.

[@MONI-S_POOKS]

I completely agree with you. No more than 3 destroyers. Sometimes it gets absolutely stupid and I'm so tired of carriers. The lower tiers most of the ships don't have enough AA to be able to fight off the planes and ships that I used to love playing. I don't even play Anymore because they just get absolutely wrecked by the carriers. And in the higher tiers, the ships have so much AA that you can't get decent attacks from your carriers. Anyway, you lose all your planes on a single run every time if you're lucky enough to get a run in..

[@gokuismymom8553]

Oddly enough I was having the opposite problem yesterday. I had like 5 matches in a row with no destroyers which was a pain in its own right.

[@jcook899]

This i have matches with 4 side or an equal amount of 1 or none dd matches. I don't get it

[@christofferahnstedt593]

Nahh, those games are rare and fun to play now and then. Just don’t be cowering at the back. (You should never do that, but there’s absolutely no reason to do it when there’s no destroyers.)

[@gokuismymom8553]

@christofferahnstedt593 my issue is it is always when I am in like a Cleveland or any smoke cruiser. Baltimore or Hipper for example I can manage cause they have good enough armor to kinda peak around them and Hipper has good armor in general to play up close and personal in open water. I don't particularly like playing cruisers in open water outside of a select few though because it stresses me out.

[@jcook899]

@@gokuismymom8553 try and build for concealment more gives you a huge buffer when you don't get good spotting from your team. And you can assist with providing spotting high level mikawa helps a lot here

[@astronomicaldreamscape6156]

I kid you not I just got off the game after being mauled by a team of destroyers (I too am a destroyer but it’s Japanese so it’s terrible against other destroyers) and your vid was the very first video in my feed. Thanks for the video lol

[@noxentin]

I don't see anyone complaining about having 5, 6 or 7 battleships game after game, constantly. I have absolutely no problem having 4 destroyers in a game. Not at all.

[@xXimf4m0usXx]

A destroyer limit should have been implemented before the game even released. Lmao. It's actually wild that it can be so obvious to everyone except WG. Typical WG, capable of producing some very good/complex military arcade shooters but incapable of actually playing them/thinking about balance. Destroyers should be limited to 2 per side imo.

[@merafirewing6591]

Two or three Destroyers per team, no more no less.

[@christofferahnstedt593]

Same for battleships. If people can’t learn to play the different ship types, but instead spam the same ship type to potato in over and over, make them wait to get a game.

[@ronb7931]

[@419er]

I played 12 matches on Sunday: 7 matches with 5 dd, 4 matches with 4 dd and one without dd. I asked on discord (ask the team) and they said that there are no plans on limiting the amount of dd. I’ve decided to stop spending money because it’s not fun anymore. As a BB it’s just a question of time (maximum 3 minutes) until you’re dead.

It’s still a fact. You can adapt and be an asset to the matchmaking. Or be part of the problem. You could learn to play cruisers well. Waiting for WG to fix everything to your liking while spamming the most over played (and badly played) ship type in the game, probably won’t work.🤷‍♂️

Or, they could change the meta and make it ai missions only. Take missions out of standard battles leave it for campaign missions.

4 or 5 dds about every match today, plus some cv. Aren't those just crates for the collectable cards; I got all without these ships. This game is making me Nuttier by the day. Thanks for caring for the community.

At tier 7 and up that's been happening 50% of the time if not more in the last 2 weeks. I'm personally by myself just getting on to get my oil for my fleet. The game has got so bad with player base that it's done took the fun out of it

[@Stompy_101]

Capping it at 3 DD’s seems fair all round 👍

[@christofferahnstedt593]

Yep. And same for battleships.

[@dinohunter8676]

For as long as I’ve been playing (5 years) I have never ever had more than 5 dds on each team, I thought 5 was the limit 😅

[@depriest1993]

I feel the same about BBs lol. I think DDs and BBs should be capped at 3 each per match. And if there aren't enough crusiers to fill the roasters, let the BB and DD players kill each other in a 6v6. That's just my humble opinion

[@CamMcCulls-kx6zk]

I honestly don't understand the matchmaking any more. It used to make sense and was balanced. Games were fun and you didn't know who would win before the start of the game. I now see in almost every game there are mismatches in the skill level and number of divisions. The difference is skill levels are not small, but often a complete collapse of a side in the first few minutes. However even more weird is a mismatch in the ship types. E.g. Four dds vs 3 dds, with the other dd replaced by a BB or cruiser. It is like the matchmaker is deliberately set to make asymmetric battles or there is something wrong with the settings.

[@7heGrandTourist]

We need a game mode that doesn't count towards any missions or goals whatsoever. The amount of selfish players out there ruining other players games because all they need are ship detections etc is just crazy. They just race in as fast as possible to get what they need and then die. This crap really pisses me off ! We waste boosters on matches that are destined to fail. Give us a mode that's free from all this BS !

[@stickmastercaleb3251]

They need to Cap it around 2-3 per Team, For DDs only ofc.

Destroyers need to be hard capped at 3. If there’s a carrier, I’d argue it needs to be capped at 2.

[@moonytheloony6516]

Well Ive been unhappy with the 4 & 5 destroyer matches per side let alone 6, there should not be more than three per side...when I play DD's I don't need a wingman. I've seen excessive DD's even when there isn't a DD mission promo going on but that's just me. Have I on occasion dropped out of some matches over that? when it's several matches in a row, i most certainly have done it, and I ain't sorry about it either. On a side note, is anyone seeing that the doubloon tab in the store has been mostly down since last Saturday? I have and it's not a great way to run a business. What's up with Wargaming's store? Have they said anything about it? Or is it just me?

I've noticed some really bad performance issues with the server lately. It might not be always the fault of the player. But a genuine AFK should be penalised. Then again, they are because the game has cost them to play (maintenance cost) and if they haven't participated, they don't get any reward.

[@Wilsontripplets]

I honestly think Lt cv's are better right now then their t7 equivalents, you have lots of good AA cusiers at the tier and Lt has lots of BBS and DD's and cruisers are not as popular. I see lots of Balti's, D7p's, Shimanto's etc with only a few cv's being good enough to get though all that AA to deal effective damage. There is a reason you don't see that many Shoukaku's, Implacable's, and Parsaval's compared to Kaga, Enterprise and Lexington.
