Upcoming changes to Operations T6 to T8

• To balance the difficulty of Operations for Tier VI–VIII ships, we've reduced HP pools of enemy ships and the damage they deal.
• Fixed an issue with matchmaker which sometimes resulted in one or two lower Tiers ships being placed in the battle with a superior number of higher Tiers ships.

It's found under the "Other Changes"

IMO, it potentially could cause a nerf to XP and credit earnings - they are partly based on how you deal damage. With the HP pools reduced, the percentage would be lower. As always, go for the smaller ships first, you would deal higher percentage of damage, and earn more XP and credit. I prefer they keep the HP pools same and reduce the bots accuracy slightly.

Likely will result in bots being sunk faster. I hope WG took that into account.

I am liking the second change, it's what I was hoping for.

I'm not entirely sure that the prize of the S-189 Submarine will be able to attract a lot of participants in the "Hunt for Red October" mode.  😄

Interesting. For the most part, I haven't found there to be issues with enemy ship hps and damage in the t6 to t8 operations (unlike in high tier operations). The only one that I've found problematic in this sense is Killer Whale. Most other times, and some times in Killer Whale, the team screwing up thins is more of a problem.

Oh, I know.. I recently had one of the KW OP, and I lost because I was the solo player in the end. We had the right ships to win it, a good mix of different assets. I am doing RB reset and was in the Yorck. Would've wrecked havoc with the Hindy, I miss the ship!
