One in a million in actual practical application. Not in a training room against stationary bots. If you want to prove that something can be done which people say is impossible, by all means go to the training room. But citadelling a Conqueror has always been possible, I even did it the first day it was released. The problem is that it's mostly down to incredible luck in actual battle situations. Ships don't sit stationary so that you can perfectly dial in your aim. And once you start shooting they most often don't give you a second chance at that broadside. This results in a situation, as with KM BBs in most cases, where you do way more reliable damage simply aiming for higher on the belt. Even less chance to get that elusive citadel hit, but also less shots missing the ship completely. Combine this underwater citadel with Yamato-level belt armor and you have yourself an incredibly tough nut to crack, which as a bonus can also cloak up basically at will.

Reminds me of those one in million shots, like hitting the peak of a NCs bow and citadeling him, or getting a lucky citadel penetration through the stern of a Gneisenau with your Indianapolis.

Or, you know, you could just play the battle without looking at ranks and WRs. I might get a laugh out of checking some guy's stats if he performs exceptionally badly in battle. But that's for my own enjoyment. If you end up feeling worse by checking out other people's stats/rank, then don't. Just do your best and reap the rewards of a successful carry every once in a while.

Aaand done.

Something about not reinforcing negative behavior.

Aside from tier 8 I think that mid tier DDs as a whole are in a good place, and tier 8 is mostly rough due to up-tiering. Been playing lots of Aigle over this and the last patch and I have seen a healthy number of DDs for the most part. One battle as solo DD, one battle with me and one enemy DD, a couple of battles 1 v 2 and the remaining vast majority of battles 2 v 2 or more.

Pretty much what you described. But unlike the ships you mentioned, her guns are pretty damn powerful even if they are not the most accurate.

You forgot the "/s" at the end.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Every time you change an application you will create bugs and a lot of the time bugs you don't see during testing because of how many different PCs will be running the application when it goes live. That's the way of software development. There is no way to squash all bugs unless you have unlimited time, because even fixing bugs will create new bugs.

Atlanta/Akizuki for the 1st task, De Grasse or La Galissonniere for the 2nd. Doing the 4th task is a bit of a grind since you don't get very many ribbons per battle in BBs.

What a silly weakness. But it only really works for shells coming in at a very steep angle. I want to see what other cruisers can do this.

I can finally use him. He's been sitting in my reserves since I got him. The only special captain I didn't immediately put into use.

Before trying the Gascogne myself I had very mild expectations. Having played the Richelieu, which I don't really get along with, I didn't think I would enjoy the Gascogne either. But having now played the Gascogne, I actually like her. While Richelieu encourages passive play with a lot of bow in, stopping and reversing. The Gascogne is the opposite with her blistering max speed and very good speed retention in turns. The slightly better sigma is also noticeable together with the better reload. Didn't yet get in a situation here the faster repair party came in handy, but I could see it being useful sometimes when you can't easily avoid being focused for an extended time. Didn't go for a secondary build as I don't see it being worth basically all skill points. Time will tell if she turns out to be more enjoyable for me than the Roma.

Since there is only one Graf Zeppelin in 0.7.2, the old original one, that's obviously the one they are using for the operation.

These are just a taste. Off the top of my head these are also shown with those "skins": Hakuryu Des Moines Zao Moskva Z-52

I end up playing her more like a CL with very good concealment than as a DD. Her gun traverse and gun angles ensures that you can't kite away or rush smoke so you end up being a force multiplier instead. Cap where there is no opposition by all means, but going into questionable un-scouted caps is a bad idea. She absolutely melts other DDs if she is allowed to maintain fire for just a short while. Ambush them where they have no fire support and you should be able to delete them before any torpedoes are even close to reaching you. When you're not deleting lone DDs she plays a lot like an Atlanta. Carefully moving from cover to cover to stop and pelt bigger ships with HE and fire. The low velocity shells makes it so that virtually any island can be used as a fire base. If there is no solid cover available you always have smoke.

But it's the Cleveland we're talking about here. Currently a CL at tier 6 with better protection, better DPM and better AA than most tier 8 CA. Smack some radar on it, reel back on the turret traverse nerf and you're basically good.

Does that really matter much though? Sure you get the HE damage from non-IFHE DDs and secondaries, but aside from that it makes little difference. She pays highly in the "recognizability" department. Even then, both are in a good place when you look at their effective concealment. All these preliminary stats are almost useless since they are stock values, so we have no idea what gets changed by modules added except for the +10% range, some arbitrary extra health and better rudder shift.

I doubt they can nerf them much seeing as the AA values are already set for the mounts and they don't generally deviate from the historical design.

Myoko welcomes Pensacola to the "crap turret traverse"-club. That turret traverse on such a nimble CA is going to be very awkward.

I feel you. Even the most obvious filters are missing and I would love to have more tools for showing ships in port. The most obvious one is showing only ships which aren't elite. Right now I have to use the "primary" ship selection to manually mark the ones I'm currently grinding.

Bretagne, Normandie and Richelieu. Didn't buy any containers, but I did buy the Aigle and the Richelieu was from a daily Aigle container after the other missions were done.
