You really start feeling the glory of RNG when you're in a top tier BB, and a tier4 CL with 105mm guns sets you on fire with the first salvo, second salvo, then you repair, and after the immunity, you get triple fire after less than a minute, all while your 356mm shells either overpen, or don't even start fires with their massive +30% chance of fire per shell.

On the other hand, stock ships with captain retraining not having SA. Yeah, that happens every time you have a new ship. Just the fact that you'll have SA no matter what is a huge quality of life increase for every ship that relies on stealth, and those who rely on awarness of one's surroundings.

Possible solutions? They should try lowering maximum range on key ships. The second the common baddie sees big numbers like long range and big damage is the second he thinks he's a sniper. And that starts as soon as that player sees he reaches tier4/5, with the New York and Myogi/Kongo. Tweak those, and you might just nip bad behavior in the bud.

Rate of fire is meaningless when you lose turrets. A standard IJN twin 203mm turret is rather robust, and destroying one isn't something that happens regularily. The triple 155mm turrets though? Cruiser AP smashes right through it. Recent turret hp buff or not, you'll lose those turrets more often. And when literally your only advantage is RoF, having your main advantage be fragile is not a good thing. The only way to make the 155 Mogami as good and reliable as the 203 Mogami is to make the turrets turn quicker, and less fragile.

It really depends on the tier, but overall, because of the Japanese fixation with 25mm guns, IJN ships in general have worse AA than USN ones. As for the rest, the IJN BB line is a mess, with interwoven uparmored battlecruisers, dreadnoughts, classical battleships, and super battleships. Trying to give the line a theme is a pointless endavour. I will say that they have either equal in size or bigger guns than the USN ships

[edited], this thread offends me. I think Lemasive should be banned for hate speech against my people.

Only if the boss ship has hidden stats to spot firing ships from further away then normal. Or else it would just be the DD spotting while the two cruisers invisibly spam HE from afar, while the two BBs get wrecked.

Assuming the Dunkerque will be around the same price as the Blyska...I spent around 25€ for it, and played it for around 11 hours, considering the length of an average game, that's already not too shaddy. 25€ is what I spent on 2 movie tickets in 3D where I live. The price/worth of something is purely what one individual makes it out to be.

Every new feature/screenshot of the Dunkerque I see makes me want it all the more. Gib pls EDIT: No forced bundle

I lol'd in this thread. People crying because they're getting basics of survivability in exchange of SA. In essence, you're getting SA + a free passive repair time buff at no cost, and here you are going on about "lol WG wants you to pay gold to re-spec your captain" The **** ?

The same timewarp that makes your tier1 gunboats from the late 30s and early 40s to fight tier2 ships from 1908. When it came out is meaningless when compared to its abilities in game, hence seeing things like the 1929 Myoko at the same tier as the 1915 Yorck at the same tier.

Needs more planes. Des Moines vs 10 Ryujos? =D

Played it full stock, no free xp at all.First battle tier7, had a blast. Slowly crept up behind an island and deleted a cruiser heading my way, then turned around and finished off a DD coming behind me, then brawled with a Colorado, baiting high angle shots to the side. While I took severe damage, I basically removed 40k HP from their top tier BB. Then I did a similarly great battle all over again. Only on the third battle, when it was on tier8 ocean did I get brutalized. People talk about range on the Fuso like it's life and death, when in fact that's pretty much dooming the ship to citpens through the deck and abysmally bad damage games.

Either you use Nvidia's (slow and intrusive's) manager, called Nvidia GeForce experience, and make sure the game is listed on there as using your GPU, or you go in the classic GPU control panel and manually force it to use the GPU on every 3D program. If you need a tutorial for that, you can try googling relevant tutorials. There will be tons of guides and videos on it which will be more helpful than a forum.

As someone who has been gaming with laptops since '07, and recently changed back to desktops, what you think to be cold may not be it at all. A well made laptop casing might not conduct heat in a way for you to accurately sense it. And a GPU running at 70-80 degrees might not have any issues at first, but give it a few years and it starts to degrade itself severely. I'd still get a software to monitor it, if I were you. Unless it's a gaming laptop with fans crammed everywhere, it's going to heat up inside. Source: two laptops within arms reach of me which are now used for word processing and web browsing. PS: 12GB RAM is irrelevant unless you have a machine with a high end GPU, and you want to run the newest games on ultra with modded hi-res textures on a 4k screen. Seriously, in any other circumstances, games will only use between 2 and 3 GB.

How do you get something that size to move 42 knots? ... Unless it also has hydrofoils! And with that in mind, we've gone from pointless madness to 6 year old's drawing of a galactic space cruiser.

Pot, meet kettle.

Considering it's far from the first time someone has had a lot of problems accessing British archives no, it's not hard to believe.

We recently found out that the real reason they didn't come any sooner is that British archives are complete garbage, and getting detailed plans is a grueling experience. You want to be unhappy? Be unhappy at your own country's piss-poor standards.

Make some specific class mechanism just in order to try out a map with no timer limit? Haha no. That's such a gigantic waste of time, also it might not even be possible. But lets say they do. A "mechanism" would basically mean, in this context, that ships are perma-spotted after a while. So, there's a MASSIVE advantage given to ships who don't rely on stealth. How is that a good solution? And remember, this is just so you can have a bit of extra time during a match. Who would enjoy 50 minute matches, where the last 30 minutes are just going around chasing a faster and more agile target running away ? Because that's exactly what you would have. No. Terrible idea. Seriously awful. It doesn't improve the game, quite on the contrary even, and takes massive effort to implement. Lose lose.

Yes, having one ship be vastly undergunned compared to its peers, and play exactly like its two previous ships would be something diverse on a tierX BB. However, if I wanted to play with dogs**t, I'd just go outside and roll around in the grass, instead of playing a "diverse" ship, which in this context is used like the word "special" when describing someone.

I would say that the Hipper is a better all-rounder, but if team battle is your thing having the Chap might be a better choice, if you're looking for a radar-equiped ship.

Do you not see the massive irony here? You're basically suggesting mid/high tier BBs with no real AA and at the same time proclaiming that no one would play an intentionally inferior ship. Here's the most probably thing that would happen if you played your precious, historical ships : -You're happy you have it -Play your first battle, everything great -Play your second battle, it has a CV, you get focused and wrecked -It happens again because CVs are coming back, since everyone and their mothers will play German BBs -You will go on the forums and ask for their pathetic AA to be uberbuffed just to make the ship playable -We'll see ships with pre-war, single shot mid caliber AA guns which can be counted on two hands, have as much DPM as late WWII refits. How's that for historical accuracy? Single shot, short barreled 88mm AA guns with as much AA rating as a a quad bofors mount.

I completed the 3000 hit mission in 4 days while playing very casually.One match with the Blyska, the next with the Kiev. 10% of the mission goal completed in 2 matches
