Winner of 9.2 Equipment: Heavy/Armor Cruiser

My idea after 9.2 Equipment release:

Destroyer (DD) - Slightly drop

  1. Slot#1 I can say nothing good. both torp modules are not provide special benefit.
  2. Slot#2 Acceleration is still choice. Even significant downgrade from 20% to 6%. But +6% maximum speed is really good.
  3. Slot#3 Conceal is still a must for DD. Also downgrade from 10% to 9% and -5% hit point

Armor Cruiser (CA), Light Cruiser (CL) - Increased maximum speed is extremely good

  1. Slot#1 Gun dispersion from 7% to 9% is quite good. Real buff to CA.
  2. Slot#2 Acceleration is solid. Higher speed can out position BB and chase DD, CV
  3. Slot#3 Conceal or Traverse buff. Increased traverse maximum speed is gold.

Battleship (BB) - Meh. Lost a lot of mobility

  1. Slot#1 Gun dispersion for sure. AA module is not need every game.
  2. Slot#2 Acceleration is still require. Even it quite painful and barely dodge torp now.
  3. Slot#3 Conceal or Traverse are bad. One lost HP. Another one lost dispersion. Other choices are worse.

Aircraft Carrier (CV) - Slightly drop on mobility

  1. Slot#1 Similar to before patch
  2. Slot#2 Fighter buff is a must. Huge difference between who control fighter squad and who does not. Enforce CV player to focus on sky domination. Also automatic lost 1 module slot for mobility.
  3. Slot#3 Conceal for sure.

I have 2 points of concern. First, We already have current issue of players do not want to capture zone. Because they do not want to die, become bottom of score board and lost high league point. The new equipment decrease ship mobility. More harder to survive on capture zone. Less players to capture zone. Give bad playing experience and quit the game.

Second, I do not see "variety build" I tried setup alternative build and found it struggle to fight. Even the I use OP ships. So I return to "main build" anyway.

I hope whatever WG is cooking on 9.3 will bring really good stuff to the game. Otherwise it will be the fixed 6 golden legendary modules meta.
