That was my original point.

People talk about it as if it is some new level of mind blowing idiocy, but AP DBs already drop small AP bombs like 305mm AP shells on ships, how is this any different? As Rockets are fundamentally similar to HE bombs, only the delivery method is different, a ship with AP rockets instead of HE rockets is hardly dissimilar to a CV with AP dive bombs instead of HE dive bombs. Yes, this means they have the ability to citadel certain ships, but they also lose a tool in exchange that is capable of damaging modules and starting. And AP rockets do not sound that useful against DDs to me just like 203mm AP is the worse choice than HE; they wont fuse which will produce overpens, if they break any modules the damage will be absorbed, they wont splash modules, they wont start fires. This is really not a new tool for CVs. If a players with a CV that can citadel cruisers they can just play IJN. You want to know what the game will be like when a CV can citadel cruisers? We already have that. And the CVs dont need to be extremely bad, they need to be balanced. For as long as the state of CVs remains what it is a new CV with AP rockets or whatever other gimmick needs to be able to compete with existing CVs in terms of dealing damage or it is a detriment to the team. Yeah, why can't every DD in the game just be like Gearing in different shapes? Orkan could be the first Polish ship in the game that is actually distinct in the way that it functions in a way that is interesting, while still having the identity of a PAN EU DD with its torpedo performance and flavour of being a DD fighter. But instead of DFAA to afford it some protection against planes (cos it has very little AA anyway) it gets radar to secure its role. Not every ship should be a swiss army knife with capabilities for every situation, specialists are good too, because most significantly no ship in the game plays in a vaccuum, for every type of enemy you can come against that you personally cannot counter you have an ally that potentially could. And within the scope of teamplay is room for specialists, because developing a skillset to perform a niche role effectively is an interesting experience.

I like how everyone is just bitching about the concept of AP rockets as if every CV is suddenly going to be equipped with these as well. We have absolutely no idea on the use case of these weapons or anything about their performance except for their penetration. They might even appear as the only good feature of a new nation that is bad with other types of aircraft.

Depends if the 10s radar has a 60s cooldown and 6 charges.

Okay, I can't even keep track of the changes to Marceau now but its back above Daring in terms of DPM. A series of not unexpected nerfs. I even thought 12.8km concealment would suffice but you've gone with 13.2km which is also fine. Removing the 30mm upper belt is also nice. 6.9km AA isn't going to change the fact the actual DPS is terrible but its not the worst buff you could have given it. 10? 10 seconds of radar? Thats quite a substantial change... Petropavlovsks turret turning 360° certainly makes it unique from Moskva but that traverse speed is absolutely horrid. That's over 38 seconds to 180°. Really are they overperforming still? Or are you now working on some sort of buff that compensates?

I think this is meant to be action time not reload time.

Champage 2x3 406mm guns Large cruiser dispersion 25mm plating Engine boost FD Roosevelt Slow moving planes with high HP High alpha damage but long (25 seconds) delay between atttacks Heal with short cooldown, that heals less over a longer period of time.

Ah yes, the upcoming German CV gimmick.

Yes, I've personally reset ships with Unique Upgrades and still possess them.

You literally said port slot 3 times in your message and talked about adding and removing ships when the question concern captain slots for commanders not port slots for ships.

Commanders dont go in "port slots". And I have never heard of the game silently taking dubloons in exchange for commander slots when the reserve is full. Commanders forced into reserve have always overrun into excess slots that prevent you from using the reserve until it is cleared and would be displayed like 51/50 captain slots.

Server migration was a service provided on a short basis a few months ago. It was only offered temporarily and I've heard of developer streams lately that it was a lot of manual work and they are not likely to offer it again soon.

What do you mean by UK cruiser mastery ops and which permanent camo are you referring to?

Except the C5 design was named Saint Louis by the French in 1940.

Thats ideal mate, thank you.

That's perfect, could I bother you to include the Petropavlovsk as well please?

Here are the three side to side Hinden, Donskoi, Nevsky Lower velocity, mass, calibre and krupp all somehow translate into Donskoi having roughly similar penetration to Hindenburg, perhaps thanks to the lower drag, as the penetration starts of slightly lower than hinden but doesnt drop quite as much over distance. Nevsky has even lower drag, better krupp and better velocity so it perhaps will have better penetration than Hindenburg. Which isn't saying a whole lot considering how pathetic Hindenburgs AP penetration is. That said, the damage potential is still relatively low. Even with its rof the actual DPM of Nevsky is still lower than Hindenburgs. It's curious how this ship will actually perform.

Excess captains forced into the reserve are usually allocated temporary captain slots, exceeding your maximum. You cannot manually send anyone into the reserve until you have a free slot.

1. That line is a comparison of their HE gunnery qualitys overall. They are quite similar, except that one has better range and one has better penetration. Of course that does not mean that these factors are equivalent, but they are the differences between the two. 2. It's difficult to compare the AP penetration yet as values havent been produced for what Nevsky could penetration. But at 180mm they should certainly be worse than Hinden. But Nevsky does have the advantage of arming on 30mm armor, Hindens 34mm arming threshold can produce some overpens against mostly unangled 30mm plating. The penetration over distance and the arming threshold are not related as arming threshold isnt affected by distance. Again, I am just stating the differences in their AP performance. 4. The fire starting capability is poor without taking IFHE into account, comparing fires per minute. (As stock; ROF*guns*firechance) You can see most CLs are - with fire flags and reload or DE - around ~20 fires per minute as a relative amount. The CAs are closer to ~10 fires per minute. Nevsky has the lowest rate of the ships that would require IFHE to pen 32mm. But the fire chance is the best for a ship with this sort of range. The shell drag is pretty low.

Because having a 6 man div on one side having voice comms is too much for any team to stop, and can only be achieved through purposefully gaming a system in an act of poor sportsmanship.

Aircraft can spot enemies that are within their concealment range from the aircraft up to a maximum of 20km, I believe.

Hmm. But 152mm gun with 1/5th penetration rule pens 30.4mm, and with 25% bonus from IFHE thats still 38mm of penetration? Are we supposed to round the 30.4 down to 30 before multiplying by 1.25?

I wonder if they would release commanders frequently enough to even justify a coupon.

Yes but Wargaming cant change that because both the St Louis and the Saint Louis are already their real names. But Wargaming can name the A-150 whatever they want, so if they feel a name is too similar they are free to change it...

To everyone going on about the Shikishima name still should remember that the A-150 had no official name and that WG cannot change the fact that St Louis and Saint Louis are their historical names but they can change Yashima to Shikishima or whatever they want because it's not a historical name no matter what they choose. At least they are selecting them from IJN dreadnought names. Of the ship name they could use, Fuji and Yashima Shikishima and Hatsuse Katori and Kashima Satsuma and Aki Asashi Mikasa. I assumed they would want to avoid name ships and would have to choose between Yashima, Hatsuse, Kashima and Aki and I would probably have chosen Kashima. But they've chosen Shikishima.
