Frostbow Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Hey, guys! Welcome back to World of Warplanes. You thought you downloaded World of Warships, actually this is World of Warplanes! It has been said that Hildebrand's planes are squishy, but notice how her Dive Bombers are able to restore back their health even after eating a ton of flak. It did not even lose a single aircraft; and at the same time, the heal restored the planes HP back to full. Perfectly balanced, right? Nothing to worry about, right? Everything is fine. Nothing disgusting. All is good. And it is really satisfying! Nothing wrong here. Hildebrand is not an issue at all. And since Hildebrand is a cruiser, a hybrid, yes, but still a cruiser, you can have a battle where as a DD you will face a CV, radar cruisers, hybrid battleships, more hybrid cruisers, and of course, submarines. Marvelous! DD players have a lot of things on their plate already. Hildebrand just made it way, way worse. 2 1 1

Also any heal restores planes to full health, that is nothing new.

Admiral_Karasu Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Way cool! We get two games at the price of one... 2

Frostbow Posted October 12 Author Posted October 12 25 minutes ago, Admiral_Karasu said: Way cool! We get two games at the price of one... Hahaha! It has been said time and again that the devs of Warplanes found a new job or were transferred to Warships. Setting the flippancy of that "two games at the price of one" aside, plane spotting is a particularly long-standing pain point that has only worsened with the release of Hildebrand. 1
Itwastuesday Posted October 12 Posted October 12 I was hoping for a full-length joke video with that tone 😞

Daniel_Allan_Clark Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Easy solution is just not to play tiers 8-11 for awhile. I have yet to play with or against a Hildebrandt. Also, planes are a huge part of this era naval warfare, and this game has never been balanced. The problem is not with WG, but rather with our expectations. 2
Ensign Cthulhu Posted October 12 Posted October 12 As soon as the 30-day 200% XP mission runs out, use of Hildebrand will sink down to background levels and all this Hildebrand click bait will stop. People like PQ and Sealord Mountbatten will then have to find some other nothingburger to screech about. I remember when people used to make the easily-upset corner of the playerbase scream by taking three-ship divisions of the Tier 7 French BB Lyon out when it first launched; 48 guns all shooting at the same target under voice comms. 2 2

So... you think Hildebrand and the whole issue will just disappear as if it were swallowed up by Cthulhu or something? What if WG finds out they made a huge bundle with this scheme? 4

If the game's player history is any indication, as time goes on, fewer and fewer Hildebrands should show up in battles, as @Ensign Cthulhu a few others have described. And I'm sure the Hildebrand and all the other "soup of the day" ship introductions have made WG a considerable bundle of $$$. Frankly, it keeps the servers running and keeps the lights on for them. I cannot fault WG here, as this is just a basic business model. When have we not heard of "new and improved " in commercials? The market, the players in this case, indicate success or failure by their actions. There is nothing that states that advertising language must adhere to perfect logic; case in point WG and thousands of other companies. 4 1

Well, I'm still not a fan of even more gimmicks getting into the game. WG either won't bother to, don't know how to, or don't care to fix the basics but they are happy to find new ways to monetize the game. 2

Well, I can fault many companies with their "basic business model". Just think of a certain brand of sports shoes made by 'slave labour' in Indonesia, or a certain brand of high-end clothing made with cotton harvested and manufactured by 'slave labour' in Uyghurs in detention camps in N.W. China. Basic business models of maximising profit can be faulted... 2
Aethervox Posted October 13 Posted October 13 (edited) My take on this 'apparition' that WoWS & WoWP is somehow melding, well, it is Wedgie's revenge for the WG player base not embracing WoWP. We (Wedgie) are going to make you WoWSers use all our concepts from WoWP whether you like it or not. This is the Wedgie way. After all, shoving planes up the players 'afts' is much easier in WoWS where one has Aircraft Carriers (CVs) plus 'Hybrids' 😒. Edited October 13 by Aethervox

WG could actually give us more hybrids, like transports and/or landing crafts with tanks on the deck, they could then get WoT into WoWS as well. They could land those tanks on those islands that there are plenty of they'd be then use the cover of the many bushes there to take potshots at the ships when those get too close to the islands. 1 3

This really did make me laugh. I offer my suggestion in two words. Boarding parties... 1 1 1
