Lieber Basti, du hast natürlich Recht damit, dass Daring und Vampire II zur Cap-Kontrolle deutlich besser aufgestellt sind. Was die Guns betrifft, hat allerdings die Druid nicht nur die deutlich besseren Abprallwinkel, sondern auch mit Abstand kürzere Flugzeiten auf den Granaten. Der realistische AP DPM-Output ist damit schon sehr hoch für einen DD. Das gilt aus meiner Sicht auch fürs Kiten, da die Guns einen guten 30 Grad Winkel nach hinten haben - bei anderen DDs benutze ich ja auch nicht nur den hinteren Turm wenn ich kite, sodass es auf dasselbe hinausläuft. Als Gunboat für die Randoms macht mir die Druid daher viel Spaß, insbesondere weil sie halt für diese Rolle doch noch einiges an Utility mitbringt. Letztlich sind meine RB Punkte auch für Schiffe mit einer gewissen Einzigartigkeit vorbehalten. Und welcher DD kann sonst schon wie eine DM mal eben mit der Nase rausgucken um ordentlich Schellen verteilen und dann wieder hinter einer Insel zu verschwinden ohne viel Angriffsfläche zu bieten? Im Ergebnis bin ich sehr gut zufrieden mit dem Kauf der Druid. Auch wenn die Daring für Ranked und CW sicherlich die bessere Wahl bleibt. :)

What are you even talking about? Got an 8k hit on a DD in Ranked with Enty just today. It got a bit harder, but it's still possible. And that NA topic is about a video from Top Tier, who is clearly not even able to lead properly. In fact, he just made a video after his first battle with the nerfed rockets and is actually claiming that it's all a conspiracy in favor of the upcoming RU CVs.

I had no problems as CV in Ranked today. The players that struggle are those that have been struggling before.

@Beastofwar Bear is right - whatever it means for the rockets on Enty, it will in any case remain extremely strong in comparison to the other T8 CVs, as it has never been just about the rockets.

For people who can play without the smoke, Austin is great though. It's just not an easy ship to play.

32x14,3=457,6. So yes, 458mm would overmatch 32mm. And to answer the question: it's not about the additional overmatch after that, but rather about long range penetration and alpha damage.

Shikishima, which is a waste of steel unless you absolutely love your Yamato and want another variant of it. FDR is not really one-dimensional, once you get a hang of it. Planes are still slow bricks though.

Bourgogne is probably the one that the most people will enjoy in Randoms. If you enjoy light cruisers in Randoms though, Austin is amazing. FDR is a must for CV players, but I honestly doubt that a non-CV player will have fun in it for a longer time. If I could only keep one of them and I would not be a CV player, I would keep my Austin (since Stalin has been somewhat replaced by Petro anyway).

We are currently looking to reinforce our ClanWar-Team. Just send a PM if you're interested.

Any first impressions on Druid? Can't play it myself till I get home.

If he was an innocent victim being bullied, I would agree 100%. But social sanctions against people who have it coming are another thing.

So there are still people who don't know how to change consumable keys. At least your minimap is not super small.

Dude give it a break. I understand that you have hard feelings towards "pink CV players", but could you just stop bitching around like that? It's quite pathetic to be honest with you.

So it just makes the rockets harder to use, but doesn't cripple their potential? That would actually be amazing. Current problem is that the rockets are just too easy to use.
