According to navweaps, (and I'm assuming the 47mm is the ubiquitous 47mm Hotchkiss), those poor 47mm guns had trouble even reaching 7km of max range, and with a 574m/s velocity on a 1.5kg shell, the time to target must be absolutely enormous. 20+ seconds on a target 7km away. That's not even considering the pitiful damage 0.25kg of explosives would do, evne if overbuffed to actually be able to damage other ships.

That unfortunately dosen't necessarily work. If anything, having a bit too much armor makes you more vulnerable to BB fire. Also, I was mostly suggesting that since German cruisers had a strong focus on AP and armor, but that was deemed not good enough. A little boost and quirk without falling into the silliness of imcomprehensible gimmicks while improving on a flaw that's already present ingame wouldn't hurt. In fact, I think it would help solidify the notion that Italian cruisers are about good gunnery and good ammo choice, something that's already the case with the Aosta. But hey, your point of view is perfectly valid and perhaps even useful to WG. To each his own. All the more reason to start discussing it now. Models aren't even finished yet, so balancing is still completely open. If we wait until images are leaked and ST starts, the developers will already have had a solid plan in place. This way, we can still give input and forward some ideas in time for them to be relevant.

That's essentially the number I had in mind, yes. Hence the possible lowering of HE alpha damage just a nudge to avoid potentially dealing excessive damage.

On a side note, it might be a normal thing for you to do, but it should still be said: thank you for coming on the forums to ask for advice and help. That attitude alone is going to quasi-guarantee that you improve dramatically,as well as have more fun.

I thought it would be a ****post, but it's a quality post. Heckin bamboozle. But yeah, those things are the reason I think large cruisers/tiny battleships ingame are a bad idea. In a game with class-based accuracy, armor, etc... models, having hybrids is just asking for trouble. Those Russian twins and the Graf Spee show exactly that.

In the space of 72h, we got a thread about how fires OP, torpedoes OP, DDs OP, CVs op, and that BBs should be able to roam the map freely while other ships have to go back to a point to refuel and rearm. The people claiming things like that aren't interested in conversation, they just want to rant for everything that kills them to get nerfed. 3 years of garbage like that at times managing to seep into the game will make anyone be annoyed. As always, ask for advice, ask if things are actually balanced in a reasonable way, and you will be treated as a human being. Act like a moron just pushing your balance (aka; BBs master race) agenda, and you'll be treated like another pointless ranting lunatic.

"People at having fun and farming a scenario? Quickly, remove it" -WG I even had Jack Dunkirk on a KGV specifically built for that operation, mostly because I didn't plan on going further than the KGV. I'm not too broken up about it but still, it's a shame.

And the nominees are...

Torpedoes are probably out of the question, but a non-stupid, sensibly designed (from a game design perspective) RN BB ? Yes please.

He died played AS USN CVs in ranked for our sins

Being higher than T7 also allows it to get concealment module, repair kit and other quality of life goodies. A hypothetical ship able to chuck 14 shells at a target with 41mm of HE pen and 9% fire chance every 3.X seconds? Scary. I wouldn't feel safe in anything that doesn't have 50mm plating or more with BoS and FP and other anti fire things.

Not OP no... But allow me to paraphrase Gandalf when explaining how I feel about my Atlanta: "An Atlanta..a demon of the ancient world! This foe is beyond any of you!" :D Now imagine that thing firing 20% quicker with shells that have much better energy retention at longer ranges, and better base range because of it. Also the more you damage it, the faster is fires and angrier it gets.... I don't care if it's not competitive line-up material, it sounds like one of the most fun ships you can possibly have in the game. And I'm certain I'm not the only one that would appreciate a perhaps non-meta, yet still extremely fun ship.

Well, it's the same guns as used by the Montana and République secondaries, so it's 9% fire chance (4% more than the Atlanta) and 4s reload. With just 1/4th pen, you're going through cruisers and DD everywhere but the main belt or uparmored zones (Moskva deck/Kebab belt). With IFHE on top of that, you're punching through everything and everywhere that isn't a main belt or a Yamato/ German battleship. Hell, just saying it that way makes it sound overpowered as hell for T9 Also, did I mention 254 AA DPS at 4.5km + 125 AA DPS at 5.2km? DeGrasse (1956) for president !

8x2 127mm/54 with good fire chance and a radar. Or more viciously, 1/4th HE pen

Fixed that for you

And forgets to mention that half the hits you do get will shatter for no discernable reason.

A friend of mine told me that a friend of his told him that a friend of his traded pikachus with his brother 15 times in a row while facing North in the starting pokemon center and got a secret pokemon !!! (oh childhood memories)

Nice effort, but nothing beats Chinese overcompressed potato quality lolibote bootie drift gif

@El2aZeR, bring forth the gif !

Alright, I bit the bullet and started playing IJN CVs again. So, up to T6... How the hell do you manage to win against an AS Ryujo with air supremacy when you don't have that skill yet (because you're T6)? It's the USN AS idiocy all over again. My grand contribution was watching a team crumbling and getting lucky when the CV's fighters had to reload and I caught an out of place Kamikaze.

Be very careful about asking that in the region of Alsace or Lorraine

That awkward moment the best part of the "well armored mini battleship with a heal" is the torpedo array.

I wasn't really defending his position, as it's clear his grasp on the matter is lacking. Phenomenally so. I did vindicate one of the points he (accidentally) made
