Size and clumsiness is common issue for, well, "large destroyers". Which, come to think of it, besides lowtiers only USN (though Gearing stretches that) and UK don't fit directly into that description. Germans embrace "large destroyers" from tier 6 onward, IJN gets quite long and clumsy past tier 6, Russians shed any leftovers of sublety and grace by tier 7 with exception of Ognevoi, so does French from tier 5 onwards. FR DDs across the board have +20% Engine Boost, its not unique to Ayygle. Still lets get her to have (temporary) 43kts top speed and extra acceleration from Engine Boost

I find hard to get attached to basically 2d image, animated or not with few voice lines playing on repeat, one for each action. Now, if they would have more lines or even better, be more... interactive, akin to chat bots or Cortana/Siri/Google Assistant, that would be entirely different matter. Though that would require synthesizing voice actresses and then coding basically personality - Akagi or Javelin speaking in cold, detached manner would be pure, unmoderated what.

Like girls because of plot or like plot because of girls

Stat wise, Essex seems to beat Taiho considerably. Where Taiho beat other carriers is plot, a lot of it and two of them, coupled with l2d skin and unhinged, overbearing personality which seems to be popular That and she's only (?) IJN CV that doesn't require pair to do their best and she's tanky asf on her own.

Precisely the point, to make you spend as much time (and presumably money) at stockpiling resources only to find out new ships will be distributed by brand new currency, so you can start over again

You know the drill... and I see two rings on my end in reserve.

Noice

And other have pudding and/or bewbs

Umm, traded wings for wheels (and some high power 600+ cc engine) by the looks of it? Or got hit by Akashi laser for that matter

Prinz Eugen was released as carbon copy of a Hipper, ship back then was unimpressive at best. Considering she's about as rare sight as Arpeggio boats, one can assume she doesn't sell well despite her RL background and tacking heal to her.

@El2aZeR you might want to return SoDak skin now its just me or her + Cleve recent skins, while very detailed are also bit... overdone?

FYI, KGV class have 1.8 sigma with (supposedly) the same dispersion pattern and you can't really call them "precise".

Which also can be said about 380mm guns against US/Ger CA.

Looks noice, though "container ship model" looks like its waiting to fall over at first possible occasion

...yet Looking at 895m/s initial shell velocity and wheelbarrow pinch of Bussian Rias her guns might hit just as hard as other "proper" battleships
