You WILL get honest and third party analysis, it will just be closer to release, not MONTHS before. Again, case in point Odin, she has been in testing for some time and will not be released for some time..... but people are already "reviewing" her.

Aloha,
We explained exactly why we changed the NDA requirements and Embargo rules on test ships.
It is literally because information and opinions were being released on ships that were not finalized yet. Which meant the public made up opinions about ships before they were in their final stage.
Case in point opinions about changes to Odin currently, people are making their opinions about the ship based off videos and information from people without the final product being, well final.
I will tell you there are A LOT of test ships that I am running that I LOVE that people have said "are not good" due to changes they didn't agree with.... Point being, we want opinions on content based around the more FINALIZED product, not test products that have changes coming.

BTW! That was sarcasm :D
It is actually KARMAT WONKA, just sayin.....
So let me pose a different question, if you were in a match that was 1 BB and 11 DD's, and you were the BB driver, this would be okay? Would you then make the claim that DD's are op and need balancing?
MM changes are to help games be dynamic and function NOT to "nerf" or "buff" a specific ship or class.

Oh I have both I believe on there, RNG was just mad at me those times I think
-Hapa
I totally agree, and that is being changed VERY shortly. Understand that changes to MM can have far reaching changes to the game in general so we are VERY careful and slow with changes to it, if you look at our updates over the past year so, our changes to MM have been slow and over a long timeframe.
-Hapa
I did answer the question, just not the way you wanted.
These changes are for the same reason that DD's are limited to 4 in a match, because if you had 8 DD's in a battle they could cover the entire map and make a battle unbalanced (which some of you have seen I am sure after a long que time). The same reason there is a limit on the amount of BB's in a match(which some of you have seen I am sure after a long que time).
2 or more CV's in a match if they work together can keep an entire map lit for most the match, which again can make a battle unbalanced.
It is NOT because of the ship class itself. It is for balancing in general.
-Hapa
We have actually stated it numerous times and have admitted that having more than 1 CV in a match is not what we WANT, however, because que times would be EXTREMELY long, they were the way they were. And we have been working on MM over the past year making changes to mitigate a lot of the issues. Triple CV games do not occur anymore above tier IV UNLESS the que time exceeds our maximum limit to start overriding rules. Recently we've made changes to lower the chance of double CV games and they have been reduced. And coming up we have ANOTHER MM change to lower the chance of double CV matches even further and make MM more ideal for players that could be up-tiered.
-Hapa
Gonna sound rough, but have you uninstalled the game completely, re-downloaded and installed it? There has to be something corrupt in the install itself.
-Hapa
As many have mentioned, I would go for JB! JB is just plain fun and she can be fairly forgiving if you make a mistake.
Though if RNG trolls you and you lose both your turrets with almost full health still it sucks.... (Yes it happened to me, yes I was a rolling secondary build at that point)
Mahalo,

Aloha and Good Morning,
I will do some digging. I have not seen an "end date" on anything yet, so she may be there to stay.

I've actually given strategies on how DD's can work around CV's and how they can play in a world of aircraft on numerous occasions on these forums.
A lot of my strat with CV's revolves around not wearing my helmet too tight first of all.
SLOW DOWN, let the spotting occur, see where the enemy is, see where the enemy CV is flying, don't run STRAIGHT to a cap right away, shut your dang AA off the moment a battle starts, COMMUNICATE with your team.
There is A LOT more you can do, but this topic has already been derailed a bit too much. Careful making generalized statements, not EVERYONE is ALWAYS the way you think they are.
