The Cleveland has superb HE and superb AA guns, but the shell velocity is infuriating. Pensacola is somwhat better but still kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I can grind a mech to full mastery in a day, 2 tops in MWO.

For people with merely decent skill, they could master a mech in slightly more than 10 matches during the bring the heat event with premium time enabled (1 day can be won from the event either way)

I'm regretting I didn't bust out my nova to start levelling it, but I did master a few lights that were sitting unmastered for months.

Here, let me help you.

Rather than endlessly equalizing (futilely) Clan to IS, we should simply matchmaker by putting 'Mechs into tiers.

That way, the terribad chassis don't need to be quirked, they'll merely end up in a lower tier. Since PSR doesn't actually function other than shoving people into a common pool in MWO, why not just let Clanners be good and stick them in the higher tiers.

Balance isn't to bad for all chassis and variants at this point. I play, Orion, Commando, Raven, King Crab, Stalker, Urbanmech, Marauder, Wolverine, Thunderbolt. They all do well for the mst part although almost all of those is a challenging mech to pilot. Fully outfitted and mastered and with practice they all can have good scores in a good match with a good team.

I am mostly playing lights since the light queue is the least played.

Experience. It's the greatest educator of all. Since your asked.

As for the topic, the rescale was a good first step, but will only be meaningful at helping things IF they get more proactive and iterative on balance efforts.

But they could learn a lot about combat mechanics from WoT and WoWs

Fair enough, I was expecting a trololol answer;

Well played Bishop, well played.

Yeah, guess I'll use the St Louis grind for Citadel practice... might as well get some good out of the pain.

Hey, do any of the Destroyers have forward torpedo tubes?

Dunno but I am grinding for torpedoes lol

On the bright side, glad I made this thread. Still feeling ambivalent playing MWO, tbh, and WoT has it's issues that make it mostly playable in short spurts.

But World of Warships? I'm totally digging this game, just finished my 50th match, having a blast (finally got my first loss on battle 48, too!)

Glad you are liking the game. Overall I personally consider a very good thing to have started playing it. As already said, It started with "just giving a try" and today I have more than 2000 battles even with ships I wouldn't ever thought to play in any way.

Ooof. Just laid out a 90 hit, 42000 dmg match...and got a whopping 184 xp for my troubles. The St Louis Blues is real! (I really need 7000 to get to the Phoenix? EVIL)

Just to know, maybe I didn't understand well. But are you playing random battles or coop battles? because 184 xp looks like to me too little reward for an impressive performance like that. Coop battles rewards (xp, credits) are a LOT gimped.

For comparison, 42k is the average dmg that mister Average Joe makes in a battle with a tier VII battleship ( https://eu.warships....527472/Colorado ). Doing that with the St.Louis is a really good feat.

Generally if you enjoy a good win in random battles you can get around 1000 (base) xp, with 1500 being the "really good game" and 2000 the borderline for excellent performance (aka: well done carrying the team).
