    This part applies to paid products as well nowadays
  4. Hindenburger get, trope of "I'm just better than you" is kinda getting old now for ze germonies Kearsage next Star Rail had one... unexpected twist in its main quest.

    And yet WoWs is widely considered to be slow game

    Rather result of spreadshiet balans the hammer way. In old days, they had detection in line with other torps as well 20km long lances were very much viable weapon to the point 8/12km options were like "why".

    Multiplier for speeds is 2.6 if memory serves me right. Alternative to speed compression is making maps tiny... and uh, as War Thunder shows, ordnance exchange from spawn to spawn at 16x16km maps is not necessarily fun, neither can be sailing for 20 minutes to nearest point of interest.
  8. There are people who think if you unlock target with DWT torps, you will be able to hit destroyers

    [POLL] How do you like new Asymmetric Battles ?

    The Force already was strong in coop/operations bots, so nothing new here

    [POLL] How do you like new Asymmetric Battles ?

    So far I like it, issues being kinda wacky enemy team composition at times and inability to form even 2man divisions.

    WoWs dev team stop creating fictional ships.

    Yes and Aki already needs 30mm HE pen to be functional ship for her size and Błyskawica isn't that far off in size. So either SAP rounds, improved HE pen or brit grade improved AP. And given slow reload, I'd be leaning on SAP side, gives niche of heavy broadside weight as well. You're still missing shell weight part. Shell/cannon thats most similar to Ru 100mm - 105mm/65 found on Z-42 have ballistics on par with Harugumo and only due to lower air drag. To make 800m/s, 16kg shell flying comparably to 950 m/s, 33kg one, you'd need to set air drag so low you might as well remove it. Wicher and Burza, as well borrowed Ouragan.

    And this is part where artificially high pen or magic air drag would have to come to the rescue. German 105 or IJN 100mm also were conceived as AA mounts, yet WG had no issues with that.

    I don't know of the story of buying Bertin being a consideration. And tbf that cruiser, pressed as DD and maybe rearmed with 139mm to keep ammo compatibility with other ex French destroyers in siemka fleet would made bit of sense. Not quite. B-24 russian naval gun, depending on the barrel length had +-800m/s or +-900m/s initial velocity, but still had 16kg projectile weight and I can't find which version was put onto her. So unless would-be-Błyskawica '52 gets magic air drag, her gunnery would be still very lackluster, in best case scenario being bit worse than Akizuki gang with their 100mm/65. The same guns were rated for 12 shells/minute, which gives not very impressive 5s reload. Also wear and extra weight slowed Błyska down to 33kts in her post war config, making her kinda Lada version of Akizuki. Both her refits are downgrade in terms of gameplay, unless some major gimmicks follow
