[@Linkeh24]

There is some hidden utility in these kinds of destroyers, and that's in the tanking potential. These things are so quick and hard to hit, that you end up taking a lot of fire. Because every single shot that's fired at you is a shot that isn't aimed at your teammates, that drastically increases your chances of winning.

[@comradetashkent]

It´s more of a Tashkent than a Khabarovsk, because Khaba has to put up with a max range of 13.5km, Tashkent can reach 15.2km which is much closer to Klebers 16.3km. Additionally, Kleber has a stock range of 13.6km which is better than a full range build Khaba.

[@Repenter0]

Jingles I'm gonna try to be informative. I realize this will spark the ire of many but CV's are NOT "functionally immune to fire" they have very different fire mechanics. First off they have a .8 fire resist chance at base, for all tiers. At tier4 this is pretty normal but by tierX most ships have .5 resist. Resist is like golf, the lower the better. In effect it means a TierX CV is about 1/3 more likely to catch fire than any other TierX ship in the entire game without any other additional skills at play. CV's take more fire damage per second. All other ships in the game take .3% fire damage per second. CV's take 1% damage per second, in exchange they have dramatically reduced fire durations of 5 seconds compared to BB's at 60sec, CL/DD at 30sec. This means CV's take 5% total damage from a fire, where as a CL or DD would take 9% (assuming it burns for full duration). Also of note CV's have no repairs and 100% of fire damage can be repaired by other ships. This also means any sort of anti-fire skills like the India Yankee flag or similar (that reduce fire duration) will generally have minimal impact for a CV but will have a hugely magnified impact for every other ship type because they are based on modifying fire durations. So while yes CV's have very short fire durations, they also take triple fire damage during those short fires AND their means to mitigate fire damage are basically nothing. They are also more likely to catch on fire than nearly any other ship tier starting at Tier6 and it only gets worse as they go higher. The big reason for all this difference in fire for CV's is that CV's still retain the "can't launch planes while on fire" thing from the RTS era. So the realities of a normal duration perma fire would basically just shut down the CV for a minute or until the automated damage control could save them. In most cases it would mean once a CV is getting hit by HE they are just functionally shut out of the game and might aswell just go afk. So they reduced fire duration, increased fire damage to compensate, and kept fire damage slightly lower than other ships because they don't have repair parties, can't manually damage control fires, and with the changes to fire duration cannot build against fire damage like other ships could (and arguably its weak on other ships as is). The only problem with "CV durability" is TierX CV's armored decks, they are entirely too thick from a gameplay perspective. Is thicker deck armor than any other ship, it will shatter basically most HE in the game, will not be overmatched by basically anything since it will always be impacted by AP at serious angles too. This means in effect the TierX CV's are entirely too durable for what they are due to game mechanics. They are nearly immune to CV rockets except fires. They are nearly immune to HE DB's except fires. They are nearly immune to AP at range unless broadside. They are nearly immune to all HE shells outside of fires. You'll note that Hindy was basically shattering most if not all of their HE shots on the armored deck. Yet couldn't pen with its AP realistically. In effect that Midways he better armor setup than most BB's in the game. Almost purely because of the armored deck. Even if its not real world compliant they need to slash TierX armored decks thickness dramatically. Let it shatter DD HE and CV Rockets. Let it get some pens/damage from CA HE and HE DB's. Let BB HE straight up anal it.

[@SinkkingTurrtle]

To be fair the fire thing doesn't matter because their damage con lasts a minute. That's three times longer than any other ship in the game. And cv are rarely spotted for long enough to actually punish that minute long damage con. Then even once the damage con is up, the cv takes a quarter as much damage from a fire as a bb would. Sure they are more likely to catch fire, they have no heals, and the fires hurt a lot faster. But they are still the most fire resistant class as a whole.

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

Ive been in the same situation as the Hindenburg but in my Henri IV and I couldnt do shit with MBR and every thing else, I had to actually speed boost around him to get his broadside and blapp that with AP. CVs are so retard proof its hilarious.

[@stanmarche7971]

As a CV player (pls don't kill me now), I totally agree that they are pretty OP in the current meta. Their damage potential is huge, they can hit anything and hurt it badly, all the while having pretty good chances of survival (thx automatic repair party that reloads faster than light). I wonder how WG could balance them with the current gameplay because believe me, same tier and higher tier AA do hurt airplanes. So much so that if I want to have planes at the end of the battle AND help my team vs the most dangerous targets, I have to use slingshot, purposefully waste one charge of my squadron. Just if you wonder, second charge will conduct the attack while last gets shredded to pieces, no matter what. I don't have any tier X CV, I can't speak about them. But get a tier VI CV in a tier VIII fight... Boy, you'd better know bloody well what you're doing if you want to do anything... However, despite these drawbacks, it is clear that a top tier CV commanded by a semi competent player will utterly dominate the match. That has to change, because it ain't to much fun for the guys on the receiving end... The question is how to balance them ? Increase AA damage or reduce planes HP ? Then CVs'll get irrelevant as you'll lose all your planes reserves after 2 or 3 outings with each squadron type, even more than with the old system. Balance the damage they inflict ? Maybe, but when you look at it, a single bomb or torpedo doesn't deal that much damage (except AP bombs landing on your citadel). Take their accuracy into account and the maneuvers that the target can take, in fine, you wouldn't deal much damage (all that at the cost of a lot of planes). Do you have any ideas ? And don't you dare to tell me rEmoVe cV: they are a part of the game as much as any other ship, have historical significance and are also a balancing factor against certain ships !

[@grahambrown3519]

The problem WG faced is that CV’s ended naval gun combat in real life. How do you balance that. In theory a CV should not even be on the map in the first place but if engaged by almost any surface combatant is basically a pretty immediate kill. The worst decision they ever made was including them in the first place. Having done so they cannot remove them and will now have to live with the fact they will never properly balance them either the CV will feel impotent or godlike as on one hand it can see almost anything and strike almost anywhere whereas the alternative is to extend plane reloads etc and make the gameplay for the CV player really dull.

[@peterjohansson1828]

One change that might help would be to increase the time between an attack (for example dropping torps) and the attack actually hitting. Torps would have longer safe area after being dropped and bombs would have a longer fall time. Idk if that would work for rockets but perhaps those could replaced with interceptors/fighters that could damage enemy planes rather than ships

[@sandrobotticelli1337]

Maybe don't touch the planes at all, bring back manual control of the ship from above(or in some other way to make players more focused on survivability and not 100% on offense) , and make its survivability non-existent in close combat and especially BB shells. Most players anyway just hug the corner and spam planes, just make them easier to kill in close quarters combat in the end of the game ffs. The one problem with the old system was the skill gap, a noob in CV would be almost useless, a unicum would be a war god. And because MM does not take into account player skill/exp/WR%/something similar and you have 1 or 2 CVs per match, that skill gap made ALL the difference , the bigger the skill gap was between opposing CV players, the more lopsided the match was. Now, they could have balanced the gap between skill floor and skill ceiling in the context of old gameplay BUT, they didn't saw that as a solution to all their problems. They wanted to address one other thing with a same rework, and that was a very small CV player base which they thought was a style of gameplay issue and i would argue it was more of a "I 5 match a week CV player have no incentive to play CV anymore, cause 1/3 of the time I end up against the super unicum in OP CV (read: saipan with T9 planes, top. kek.) who i have to watch for the next 10 minutes as he completely diminishes my influence on the game and wins it for his team by him self". I was a free to play CV player with almost 80% WR in randoms, and still couldn't do shit against unicums in saipans lol. So they made a rework going balls deep and "scouting" with their faces as Jingles says and made a glorious piece of turd that no one knows what to do now with. I would also argue that the old system in its core was excellent, definitely needed tweaking, but the fun was there for the sufficient number of players to get 1-2 CVs almost every game. But they just had to fuck things up completely... Sry if my english wasn't good.

[@MoA-Reload...]

Either back to hard cap limit on the number of planes in the hanger(except that would basically hobble CV's badly and result on deplaned CV's sailing to their death forgetting their ship is still worth points) or dramatically increase the turn around time for strikes or provide unlimited DFAA and invulnerable AA mounts. I'd really like to see them change DFAA to apply a "suppressed" effect to the CV player to make it much harder to strike through similar to the effect of being suppressed in Post Scriptum. Suggested it quite a few times on the forums, dev streams and community manager streams since CV rework was first in public test but not a hint of anything like that so meh, guess spreadsheet says otherwise 😂

I am currently grinding FXP just as fast as I can manage to hopefully pick the soon(tm) to be introduced tier X IJN DD.. you know, the one with a base 37 knot speed, twin 5 tube torp launchers, option to take TRB instead of smoke, and much improved duel purpose 127's with a 4 second refire delay. (Ya know, kinds of a Super Yugumo!) but yea driving DD's these days is rough.. But I have learned.. drive BB's like cruisers, cruisers like DD's, and DD's like BB's and you'll be fine.. totally historically accurate!

[@Obsulus07]

Somebody get Claus. They've turned a ship into a *Veeled Wehicle*...

[@Dysphoricsmile]

When Jingles said "WG nerfed the health of Kremlin's already terrible AA..." I hope tha was sarcasm as well - Kremlin has the BEST AA VALUES IN THE GAME! Longest long range aura, most DPM on that aura of ANY ship, most flak bursts, and COMPARABLE Mid and short range AA to Montana, making its AA INSANELY BETTER THAN EVEN MONTANA!

[@sgtrpcommand3778]

So I guess in the new meta wargaming wants DDs to stop capping and leave that to the inevitable submarines?

[@captainloggy140]

Now it's the Kléberovsk. I think the main issue with stealth DD play and their weakness to Radar and Sonar is the lack of any Fog of War mechanic. Sonar can quite well identify a vessel (at least nowadays), but even the most modern systems sometimes have trouble determining the distance. Radar is quite bad at identifying what exactly is there, and early systems had trouble seeing stuff in front of islands. A step-by-step identification (enemy, type, class) like in RTW would help immensely on the realism and balance of visibility in this game.

[@robbazk]

Exactly when i tought i ran out of videos to watch! Thanks Jingles!

[@arkadikharovscabinetofcuri3465]

I think they’re learning from the Blitz version, in which DDs are king and no one is scared of the Yamato

[@NotTheRookie]

Only you can prevent Forrestal fires

[@gavincox8697]

They've made an EBR 105 that can float !

[@PaulFurber]

To be fair, Chris is also a bloody good shot.

Playing the french navy the manly way instead the stereotype french way, reminds me of Eddie Izzard's skit on the american view of the french because Gen. Lafayette.

[@jedimasterknobei]

seems like Wargaming is taking the Taffy 3 approach to CVs vs. Surface Ships

[@ELCADAROSA]

One thing that has always puzzled me has been why detection by aircraft isn't greater than by ship. Aside from simple game mechanics, it would seem that detection by aircraft that can see far greater "should" be farther than detection by surface ship.

[@DasReverend]

Because then everyone would be perma spotted from the jump

[@Bajie_Smuggler]

Yep, would break the game completely and dds wouldn't leave the spawn.

[@justanotherviewer52]

Thanks Jingles.

[@dther6314]

Kleber is now the EBR of Warships

[@Del_UK]

Congrats, World of Warships has a floating EBR-105.

[@bigoozz]

There is still a lot of french about Kleber, it still moves 4 times faster while going backwards and running away.

[@mikestion4629]

Local Kleber Transforms Into A Crumb of Toast

[@Warentester]

It's called "reconnaissance by fire" I'd say Kleberski is the only DD who should really enjoy playing on the map "Ocean"

[@fernandomarques5166]

Aka aggressive recon

[@DasReverend]

You can do it in a kaba too. Any thing that can do 42 knots or better and has more than 15km on the guns will do pretty well in the role

[@Maddog3060]

I see the wine and baguettes are back.

[@Bourinos02]

19:18 The end of WWI, or the start of Jingles trolling WG, we will never know :-)

[@jordanrea2311]

i think you ment WW ll cause if i remember right carriers were not really a thing in WWl

[@Bourinos02]

@@jordanrea2311 WWII ended in 1918? The only joke was about the timestamp and Jingles humour.

[@eddierudolph7694]

I'm surprised that you have not done a review of the British heavy cruiser line or the British destroyer.

[@efraim3364]

the Le Terrible has the same issue, can be seen from space but its fast as hell and very hard to pin down

[@theranchbandit6548]

To quote The Mandalorian, "This is the way."

[@evanulven8249]

Kleber, like the Horrorgumo and Khaba, isn't a destroyer. It's a light cruiser in the DD tree that does a better job as a CL than actual CL's.

[@TrickiVicBB71]

I did double take to when I saw the Hindenburg health bar disappear. "Oh no the Hindenburg has been sunk. Just the CVs now." Nope just a replay glitch as Jingles said

[@StarkRaven59]

Wargaming's design document on any French light vehicle. 1) Obvious. 2) Fast. 2a) So fast it becomes hard to hit and breaks the game. 3) Annoying to kill even when hit. 4) HE to spam everything with. The Kleber is just a French wheelie from World of Tanks given seafaring form.

[@johnparker1696]

It's like trying to hit a Panzer IC in with a Battleship

[@ussgrisham]

But Jingles from a naval history stand point didn’t the introduction of aircraft and carriers spell the end of traditional big gun warships anyway? Much like the advance of firearms technology with rifled barrels and mini ball bullets ended the long standing (no pun intended )Napoleon style of army’s lining up to take shots at each other?

[@prisonerofthehighway1059]

Dennis Ivan - this is more or less the case. The thing a Battleship is almost perfect for is covering troops for an amphibious landing. The tonnage of ordinance on target from an Iowa class just can’t be matched. Replacing it with a combination of aircraft and missiles works but it’s stupendously expensive. Plus we’re developing GPS guided “smart shells” for the 5in guns. The same principle could substantially increase the range and accuracy of big naval rifles. I think we should have 2. Modern, nuclear powered battleships with enough C&C equipment to lead its own battle group. I’d put 1 on each coast, attached to it’s own dedicated reserve station. That way they exist in a constant state of semi activation. Cuts costs but the ship never really sleeps, which is when the majority of deterioration happens. Plus you get a group of sailors training and maintaining the ship year round. Just my 2 cents.

[@festungkurland9804]

@@dennisivan85 the problem there is a small ship like that is uncomfortable at sea and has limited range. simple can be good though.

[@DasReverend]

@@dennisivan85 we have trouble crewing the ships we do have and modern warships are heavily automated, so the crew requirements of an Oliver Perry class frigate is two thirds that of a Ticonderoga class aegis cruiser. Smaller ships are ironically more manpower intensive than big boys these days

[@saffer3713]

Hey jingles, the khaba bring something to the team, a distraction, u annoy players to shot u and miss, and a salvo wasted on u is good for the team HP... Thats how i use them

who else watches jingles for the funny commentary...dudes hilarious

[@jordanrea2311]

yeah with the hinden and midway IN the old RTS carriers one of them would have died and my money would have been on the midway dieing because YOU COULDNT launch planes while your deck was on fire thank you WeeGee for fucking things up

[@yuxinyang928]

Ladies and gentlemen, here we present the wheeled vehicle equivalent in World of Warships.

[@ZaffaPlaysGames]

At least the Kleber still has those fast torpedoes with fantastic angles & main battery reload to distinguish it from the Russians. Sort of. Khaba can't ambush worth a damn.

[@maximinomorgado2150]

I love you mingles

[@philipbossy4834]

So the Kleber is the Warship equivalent of the French wheeled vehicles? Doing active spotting by getting in the face of the enemy, shooting them, and zipping away unharmed.
