So they cannot justify to sell the Belfast...?

Ship has been the same from the beginning. They just stopped selling it to make it rare.

I am after my final exams, I have the time. But the price is not enough for the grind.

The insanity of the grind was discussed a lot, but I have not seen requests for a better price so far.

If you work, the most valuable thing you have is free time. Spend money on the things you do in that free time. Period.

The 0.6.3 announcement states that the submarine will be added to our ports (as a joke) for one month, but cannot be used in "any game mode". I expect lots of people to ask/complain here if WG doesn't make the nature of the joke very clear...

Maybe there will be a special game mode after all, if we can mount signals. But pretty bad communication there.

What does this mean?

Crossed my mind of course, but most probably they would have mentioned a special game mode.

This is not about the stealth-fire removal itself, but about the measures to compensate. So far they have implemented range buffs for DDs, but that is not good enough. There are many DDs that only go 35 knots (in a straight line) . Those need a speed buff ASAP. Soviet DDs can only survive without stealth-fire, because they are really fast.

OP is of course implying that it is bad for the game. But he does not ask "is it bad", instead he asks "is it good" and doesn't give a neutral option. Pretty cheap move. Of course it is not "good" for the game, it just doesn't matter!

BB<DD<CL<BB NOT ALL<BB

Worse accuracy at long range and better torpedo protection/maneuverability to close the distance just doesn't sound unfair, nothing like the Belfast for example.

Russians have speed, germans have hydro. Just give US/IJN some really scary torpedoes and we are fine. But wait, forgot about our beloved BBabies there. (german dds only need way better smoke btw)

I feel dirty in the Belfast and don't really play it anymore. But would I feel dirty in this Alabama compared to Bismarck/Tirpitz? Don't think so. The awkward mix of close-combat tools and a raised citadel just did not justify to spend that amount of money to me. With this change I might actually buy it.

People are only comparing Alabama to North Carolina. Premium ships should be compared to the whole tech-three. Otherwise weak nations at a certain tier would always have weak premiums at that tier too.

I actually do not mind the ability of BBs to shoot back at DDs. But DDs should be harder to hit (more maneuverable) then.

Yeah, when maneuvering you are even slower of course (BB-speed).

Really great for 35 knot (non-soviet) DDs...

Again: 150mm secondaries have the 1/4 caliber rule, which is why they never need IFHE. 105mm have the 1/6 caliber rule, which is why they will only crack 19mm with IFHE, which is not worth it.

I'm kinda baffled that threads like this always get that long.

105 will crack 19mm superstructures with IFHE but, as I said, it is not worth fire chance reduction and 4p.

He got his T7 into a T10 match (fail) and got sunk in 3 salvos. Why even bother.

105 secondaries do not have the 1/4 caliber rule. These will crack 19mm with IFHE. But I would not spend 4p on that, since they do not need to penetrate to set fires and you will also lower your firechance overall with IFHE.
