I got incredibly lucky, with one t6 premium, one t8 premium, some free xp and doubloons. For once, I'm screwing up the curve upwards.

WG to its playerbase:

Which proves that speed = flexibility = better chances to win. I don't think anything can be done with the Dunkek other than minute tweaks. Her strength comes from the flexibility of having potent guns (ap and he), enough armor to completely ward off 356mm guns, and enough speed to be where you want and need to be. Increasing armor or accuracy would mean making it more effective as a pseudo cruiser, and more effective as a battleship. That's a very delicate balancing act.

In a premium ship bundle. "36 premium ships for the low low price of 300€ !!!" Lmao

Behold the Niels Juel Slap her as a T2 BB and have her wrestle with Mikasa

Danish meme-ships when? [rødgrød med fløde intensifies]

No matter the reaction here, or the result of the test, I appreciate the info and the way it's presented Any idea if relevant numbers from the PoC will be made public?

RIP that one T8 DD who's life I ruined in a T6 CV by keeping him either spotted, or locked in his smoke to be torpedoed for about 5 minutes in a row. I truly laugh at people who argued that the rework lowered CVs' ability to spot. It concentrated it on a single point, and made it even more annoying. Seriously, you'll have a hard time finding a game that forced such a radically unwelcome change into a game within mere months of making it public. I could argue that CVs were flawed but fixable in the RTS iteration, but this? Jesus, I started the RN CV branch last week and I feel awful about myself.

Imagine being so obtuse that you think some steel was put together following plans or not determines if a game is good 70 years later.

Participating in the raffle. Also, I'm chipping in for any T6 premium in shop, or available via doubloons in the armory this year @lup3s

Comparing 12 gun stock reload with a legendary upgrade 8 gun speed on a very fast firing BB isn't exactly a very good case.

Personnally, what I'm seeing is WG selling a copy paste digital good for 63€ base price. And to say that 12 years ago, we were outraged about a 4€ horse armor DLC...

Operations in random in this game just make me want to shoot myself IRL Much like randoms in general.

I could have sworn that the opening post I quoted was about ships being objectively bad for the game, not about op. But hey, you do you and go off about CVs man.

I'll be brief because you clearly misreading or inventing arguments: Broken != OP RN BBs with print a new ship and top kek HE are broken. Not OP, but broken. Asking for people to stop playing one broken class which you don't like, but being perfectly ok with a broken branch because you're ok with it is just hypocritical.

"Your subjective opinion isn't the same as my subjective opinion, thus the situation is completely different because of arbitrary criteria that I just added right now to suit my arguments" Duly noted. So question for you...why can't two things be broken at once?

So, when can I expect people to stop playing RN BBs?

Since I value my life/sanity over a few pixels in a video game, I'll just go on vacation like I planned, and upon my return play as if there were no event.

There are still people using deepwater torpedoes on destroyers, despite there being an ingame written warning on the UI in battle that it's not possible. WoWS players are basically illiterate trained chimps, minus the training. Here is a fresh insight into the big thinks from the playerbase: New Mexico staying out of range, because the enemy we're outnumbering might actually fire at him, rather than the 2 cruisers tanking for him.

Funny (read: soul-crushing) conversation I had with a New Mexico in a T7 battle just now. Stock NM has almost 15km of range, by the way. For reference, this player's position for 90% of the match. "Not enough range, so I'm not going to get in range to fire, but rather stay out of range so the enemy can fire at me, but I can't fire at them" ... This is purgatory. I died and went to purgatory.

Do players on the NA server know how to angle yet, or not?

I just played a Zara game where a broadsiding Sinop's upper belt shattered literally ever single one of my SAP hits in 6 salvoes at 10km It got closer, I switched to AP and did pathetic damage as the DPM is so low. Enemy T8 BB with better concealment than me popped up and triple citpenned me through the bow. 10 minutes to constant firing netted me 50k damage, including 12k from a torpedo hit. I would literally have done better with a T5 cruiser with HE. What's my motivation to play this branch again? The claim that perhaps the 20s base reload T10 might be functional ?

Moving away from the interforum meta discussion, I still find that the most enjoyable thing in this game is getting that perfect torpedo salvo just right. I love seeing those ribbons add up, climaxing (I chose that word specifically ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) in a kill and devastating strike medal. And it can't be that instant "8 torpedoes hit and kaboom" deal either. It's those perfect hits at an angle, with every torpedo impact being distinct. Lovely.

"An unfortunate bug we didn't catch during testing, when we were trying to improvement gameplay by tweaking random stats that coincidentally happened to be on a Russian ship. If anything, you looking for it on the Smolensk is proof of anti-Russian sentiment on the EU server!" -S_O, probably.
