I am not. If you have to stay at 18-20km in any BB, you are doing it wrong, sorry.

This doesn't even apply to a CV and it for sure does not apply to any BB in this game.

As usual, have only one question: How keen are you on getting her yourself, aside from any "interest out of principle"?

It's not a tank and not just a sniper. It's a versatile and very consistent BB that is best used at medium range. If you like good BB guns, this ship is awesome.

No point in playing this without a division. It's a party mode and those suck alone.

457mm guns with BC dispersion and 1.9 sigma are unique. If you look at all ranges, there is probably no BB as accurate as this one. Another unique thing - which most people don't know - is that it can heal 33% citadel damage (like a cruiser). That's especially nice considering AP bombs and torpedo damage to the citadel. Conqueror can only heal 10% citadel damage like the other BBs btw...

I use it on all CVs but Indomitable. The thing about the arming time is that - on the closest possible drop - TA should not allow you to give less lead, as your torps will still travel the same time to the target (namely the arming time). But you will not always make perfect drops on a broadside and fast torpedoes are in many situations harder to dodge, especially for nimble targets like DDs.

Sorry to be this frank, but he is just a noob who is spamming HE at BBs for high damage numbers and thinks he is being useful. This is why he has high average damage, but low WR and Frags in Thunderer. Thunderer is a great ship, but this dude doesn't get it.

When you remove both enemy DDs at the start and your whole team still hides in a corner, you ask yourself why you even play this game. I actually wonder what goes through people's mid when they do something like that... Anyway, always nice to see forumites ingame. GG.

As a same tier CV you can still crap on the closest one with torps easily. Also how flexible are you in that formation...

Whoever has dealt with them on an individual level knows that they are decent guys who do their job and try to help people out where they can. And they just collect the feedback, they're not responsible for the decisions you're criticizing. Also let's not forget that we are just talking about stuff you don't like about the design of the game (which you still play) and not about something serious like child labor etc.

The low vertical dispersion is actually a treat of the Russian BBs. Kremlin etc have it too. So one could argue that only the horizontal dispersion is special on Slava.

Just to be clear: After the season in which Venezia was released, there was one more complete season without CVs. People had enough time to prepare their strategy.

But how did that perception suddenly change? I'm sure that the top clans had the same knowledge that I had right after release. The only thing that changed was the introduction of the CVs.

I actually pointed out how strong it is against stationary ships like Stalingrad right on release and wanted to include it in the lineup. Yet we did not see many Venezias for that season and the following season, until we finally had the CV season.

I don't really want to get into this discussion, just want to point out that you simply cannot deny the synergy between Venezia and the CV. The latter will provide enough spotting at long distance, while the smoke can also be used to prevent enemy air attacks. Therefore it can also not be denied that the introduction of CVs has at least been an important factor for the masses of Venezias that were fielded.

It's 40 steel, you did not look at the final reward: And even if you play Ranked and CW at the lower level, you can earn enough steel easily (which I am also doing now due to a lack of time, so I know what I'm talking about).

Lel, that's not how you do it. You just get close enough to them to quickly kill them with planes. Especially Enterprise is very strong in late-game CV v CV due to the plane reserves.

Enterprise for me - I even have the HP upgrade on the rockets instead of the DB. The maneuverability and the small dispersion are godlike.

MVR is #2 after Haku in my book though, since they nerfed Midway's TiTs... But other new stuff like E.Loewenhardt is pathetic...

The problem with Venezia's SAP is that it can theoretically deal up to 24.000 damage to a DD in one salvo. Paolo can theoretically deal 8.133 damage in one salvo, but it has low DPM - something like a Kleber would eat it alive.

It is not a suicide-specialist anymore, they changed the conecpt again.

Will you buy it ASAP (not only out of principle) ? (Trying to circumvent NDA as much as possible here...)

Why?

Relax, this DD seems to be crap.
