Even with triple Ise divs going around these things apparently have nothing on the new Dutch cruisers
@Empoleonman522the2 Im sure time will tell but just remember they can “stealth bomb” due to their low detection range, but yes at least THOSE planes have a range limit.
Yes the Dutch bombers hurt much more than even 8 torpedo hit from the Ise and there are way more plane aswelk.
@Arch _ but no spotting capability on the planes.. and that is where Ise’s can dominate a battle.
@Tuning3434 true, IMO one Dutch cruiser is more painful than an Ise to deal with though
When you said “we’re talking about everyone’s new class, the hybrids” I visualized a prius with a 5in/38 strapped to it. I’m not sure if this is normal.
no but it is awesome
Get Help now?? Or Share!!! LOL
That sounds pretty cool actually.
I don’t mind the planes, I just can’t deal with Ise players that plays like a CV and camp behind an island the entire game.
Well, that means you have less BB to deal with making it easier to push, and instead you are being attacked by torp bombers which can be easily shot down if there is at least another ship near you.
Most of you don’t have a clue how to play the damn ship.
@play030 I’ve seen some good players for sure, but in the recent matches many losses are caused by people who don’t.
they should just play cv instead
@jarz et
Even some of us CV mains don’t stay and camp behind an island the entire time.
The problem, as always, is the fact that WG will only go up from here They will continue to add more and more, and they will increase the ridiculousness to levels beyond measure
I know a player that just started and nearly 100 games in and it’s almost all bot teams… Even tier 4. The game is in it’s death throws. Very few new players.
@Swirvin’ Birds yes because sub-T5 games are filled out with bots. Thats been the case since launch
@drake consumer of souls and cheese strings Yes they are and no… I have been playing since Beta and it was never anything close to this bad. Bots were a later addition. It’s due to the experience split that attempts to keep new players sperate from seal clubbers… But it shows how few new players are really playing. It also shows us why new players are not learning how to play the game properly. It’s also a bad experience for new players when their bot team literally rams and torps themselves in the 1st 3 minutes of the match giving them a loss.
Most players he saw in a match was 3 per side tier 4 random battles over the entire weekend.
The French and Japanese also had some other types of hybrids. The Japanese had the l-400 aircraft carrier submarines. The French had cruiser submarine the Scourf.
Shhhh WG might hear you
Minor gaffe there about the Tone: The Tone class CAs were designed from the ground up as hybrid ships. Your description of the Tone would better suit Mogami after the Battle of Midway. Mogami spent 10 months in drydock. During that time Mogami’s rear end was rebuilt. They removed her X and Y turrets, and replaced it with a flight deck…
Yeah I can see why they kept Ise in the battleship class, since the ship was a BB, just with a mini flight deck strapped on, and Tone was made with it in mind, so I wouldn’t mind Tone being that 1 ship with a unique cladding designation
Also another difference between the Ise conversion and the Tone class is that the Ise was converted to have strike/recon capabilities while the Tone was meant as a large fleet scout for the carrier strike group since Japanese doctrine relied on the cruisers to scout for the carriers
Have you forgotten that the late war Mogomi was a hybrid too?
And the Oyodo.
Once again, not everyone plays battleships. 8 torpedos deleted my cruiser. Ise + CV focusing on one BB takes out that BB, then they move to the next.
Will be interesting when a CV+Ise+dutch cruisers team up. 3 forms of air atack and aa monsters to defend the aircraft carrying ships.
With airstrikes coming hybred bbs ita geting to the point they might as well add missiles into the game because that how planes are acting.
The only other hybrid i would be ok with is the japanese hybrid submarine
@Gundam Zeta -_-
As long as we’re getting super specific about what does and does not constitute something as one ship or another… 8″ guns does not make her a cruiser… she could be a coastal defense battleship! 😛
@Gundam Zeta just playing the devil’s advocate. 😉
In either event, naval classifications are famously blurry. Many people refer to the Scharnhorst and Dunkerque classes as battlecruisers, but their respective nations only ever referred to them as battleships. Or look at the Deutschland class, originally Germany classified them as armored ships before reclassifying them as Heavy cruisers in 1941, but the British press referred to them as pocket battleships and that is the term that most people use to refer to them as today… even though it was never used as an official classification.
Yes hybrid summaries will be very interesting.
ya just jinxed it, we are gonna see a Iowa hybrid
I didnt even know that was a thing till now.
I’ll tell you now
The problem with Ise isn’t the ship or the squad it has
It is the divs. Coz it is a hybrid CV
So the best course of action would make a special category for ships like Ise, Tone, The upcoming Dutch cruisers, Yubari, etc
And this category of ships can only be selected by one player in a div, and it can’t div with CVs. That should fix the problem.
No need to outright remove her coz that’s dumb and the easy way out.
When your torp feels like a single he cl be like
Can you Imagine in the near Future, Matchmaking look like this : 2 CV, 2 ISE 2 Dutch Cruisers and 3 U-Boats. Of Course on both Sides. Such a Game mean much Fun for every Surface Ship.
If hybrids ever get a separate class, could be ab idea to give Air Support to nations without CVs like Italy, France and Russia.
Its Basically the same with Battlecruisers. Some like Alaska or Stalingrad can play the BB Role and count as Cruisers
I don’t really have a issue with the planes, I think the Hybrids are fun. If the torpedoes were made any stronger though…it could become a big issue.
The Ise mania will be for two weeks and they get bored with it.
If I wanted to play a plane game, I’d play War Thunder.
Pronouncing Tone as “tone” as in “tone of your voice”? No, it’s pronounced “To-ne.”
