The Furu is now great! Finally well on par with the other tier 5 cruisers (one of the best tiers for the Cruiser class as a whole, along with tier 6)

A close up broadside cruiser not getting citadelled is logical. A/ Not enough angle to hit the citadel which is underwater. B/ High-pen shell passing right through.

Thats why I said a well executed attack, on a target that is not careful. One that has Dive bombers coming in to set fires after the torpedo bombers have dropped their load. CAs can get executed aswell, but

A BB player complaining about cruiser survivability. A gold one.

CVs have been nerfed way too much. Or, BB's AA was buffed way too much. A CV should be able to delete a BB with a well executed attack, just as a BB is able to delete a cruiser. As it is, Some BBs do not even need cruiser AA protection, thus making cruisers even more useless in this game. Also, in before Fire damage nerf, as it is the only counter to BBs that has not been nerfed yet. (IJN DDs, CVs, invisifiring...)

If you are playing today, remember it is weekend.

Teams with DD advantage can easily cap first then retreat and do the area denial game. That is, if the other team lets them. But on Domination game mode the team with more DDs has the advantage more often than not. Most pure example is the popularity of Bensons in Ranked.

Tou guys are going off course. Keep it together. Start with simple facts. CVs were destroyed. IJN DDs were screwed too, more than they deserved. Now invisifiring was nerfed aswell. All are things that annoy BBs. Im not accusing anyone, but it is a fact a BB player's life is a LOT easier than before.

There is plenty. People just dont want to bother trying to prove anything for a useless argument.

You would be surprised to know how many things WG does in terms of balance that are hard to believe.

Its not Konigsberg levels of good tho.

There are tons of them but they dissapear quickly because nobody really wants to answer to another 'torps/fires/planes are OP' whine thread.

Japanese Gunboats, led by the Akizuki and Super-Akizuki class destroyers at tier 9 and 10. The Akizuki already has a render too.

Do you want to die? Because that is how you die.

Well, bad weather removes BB's worst weakness, its huge spotting range. And they can ambush cruisers. What do I need to say more? It is a buff to BBs. I hope it does not get included in more maps. It's just bad.

I would like a game mode where instead of caps each team has its own land based targets it needs to protect from being shelled or bombed. Kinda like war thunders ground strike missions i guess?

Only cruisers that have torps that can do longer ranges than 8km are IJN and they need to turn their citadel first.

Assuming a Yamato can Bow-Citadel a Montana, a Moskva should be little to no problem.

Might just be AI controlled ships (well, submarines) , so Destroyers have a role (in screening against them etc) in PvE modes once they come to the game.

Torpedo damage should be reduced along with reload time, but visibility should also be greatly reduced. Thus people that know when to expect torps will be able to dodge them, while an unexpected torpedo salvo will be devastating.

Yeah but then again if you turn your broadside at sub-10km then you will get wrecked by almolst everything.

There was a graph that showed damage incurred by BBs and what caused it. Fire accounted for 15% of that damage. AP- 30%.

Wrong. Aoba wrecks clevelands past 10 km ddistance.

My setup: Sit. Awareness. Expert Marksman. Superintendent. (Though if you plan to stay on lower tiers use Vigilance) Demo expert. Concealment expert.

And that would never happen. The game is not balanced for 1v1. Nerfing fire damage would be a huge nerf to cruisers. And it is a nerf cruisers dont need. They are already the least survivable class and they do mediocre damage compared to BBs. What more do you want?
