WG doesn't pick gimmick to the ship, they pick ship to the gimmick. They had perfect "US Akizuki" in shape of Somers at their hands. 8 fast reloading US guns, US smoke and three quad torp launchers could be loaded with short range prewar torps like on Farragut, to match her prewar AA suite. But nooo, WG had to press her into torpedoboat role, thus she gets late torpedoes, doubled gun reload and still her pre ww2 AA package because yes

Looking back at -CV REEEwork -NTC turned into RB I have grounds to believe Captain rework will be

Good guy WG saves you money to spend elsewhere And no, War Thunder isn't the alternative

Bug introduced with previous version. Either remove (or move elsewhere, renaming doesn't work) folder "3245976" in World of Warships\bin, OR run WorldOfWarships64 directly from World of Warships\bin\3173843\bin64. Though you might want to copy "preferences.xml" from main folder to World of Warships\bin\3173843\bin64 to avoid setting controls/graphics again. And yes, I'm having the same bug again

How dare you to not play the ship as WG intended

Currently, Tallins 180mm AP almost the same penetration as Italian 203mm and both, on paper (and in wowsft) can perforate 300mm main belt around 8km, which was matching my experience when I was playing Tallin. And as much I'd like to consider "threaten" as citadel hits, with BB citadels rarely being higher than waterline I'll have to settle with scoring main belt penetrations

Alongside captain skill to assist with their A1 fire support missions

And to actually enjoy "dpm increase" you need HE penetration to match. Something almost universally lacking in DD calibers

Then you discover Smolensk still can equip range mod to mostly restore its 16km range. But that also means complete loss of main gun reload bonuses, no BFT nor reload mod.

Point of RU heavies is to have guns that can threaten battleships, against broadside cruisers they are straight up overkill.

According to the post, she will have 0.05km secondary range advantage over non Ger/FR

Atlanta still loses reload bonus from BFT How about dangling sufficiently big carrot in front of playerbase? And yet Concealment Expert, the most overpowered skill still stands Err, no. Priority Target and Adrenaline rush, two go-to skills on basically anything that isn't CV got bumped by a point, thus "new 19pointer" have to sacrifice something to restore these skills, ergo, "lose their efficiency with new system". Also increased point cost on these two skills conveniently eats two points extra from raising cap to 21, so to restore pre rework 19pointer captain one have to grind or otherwise sink 1.2m exp into them. So, middle finger for those who spend "not monitezable directly" Steel on Siegfried, because balance team in their infinite wisdom extended her secondary range, which gave people idea about secondary cruiser meme build Basically, the feeling I have after re reading through new skills is "we're putting whole lot of work to change effectively nothing in the end".

inb4 comes up with loot boxed Operations

I don't recall Hipper reload nerfs, but over time her reload was buffed from 13s, which was "shockingly fast" compared to other options at tier 8, that is Mogami/203 with 15s and New Orleans with 14.7s or so. Prinz Eugen was essentially copy of her initial release, as Hipper got reload buffs over time, WG gave her heal to differentiate between the two

More like its only competitor is just too efficient at shooting his own foot. Repeatedly

You can buff DD gun AP penetration by 200% and it still won't be as threatening as it sounds

Rangemod Nevsky says hi

Before US cruiser split was one that I remember... which is in 2018 territory?

AP dpm: 60/5.2*1900*8=175.4k HE dpm: 60/5.2*1500*8=138.5k In comparison: Akizuki proper: 272k/192k Lightning: 176k/136k Kagero: 112.3k/109.8k in meantime Lightning have massive concealment advantage, hydro, magic british handling, second fish launcher, 360 turrets and doesn't require IFHE to damage other destroyers. Even using Fen Yang as torpedoboat is questionable, with only one fish dispenser and given their "very deep water" nature, you might as well go with Asashio.

Another batch of nerfs to Fen Yang... will she be another dockyard ship or what, given nerfhammer is working overtime on her? in current iteration, she will be destroyer without much in the way of camo, with 33kts top speed, one torp launcher and artillery output barely better than Kagero, while requiring IFHE to make use of said HE in first place.

No premium and no economy flags/camouflages means getting 2000-3000 exp per battle with daily win bonus. Okay to decent battle, mind you, not eating random detonation at 2min mark.

Last time I've checked you don't need premium to play tier 1 and 2 if you don't see planes at all, then it means your AA is absolute, no? JB wasn't considered "OP" and still was removed. Heck, even if you would want to buy an absolute turd like Cheshire, its still not available, only briefly appearing in premium store for week or two.

None, tier 7 in general is one of the worst tiers nowadays and then DDs uptier badly due to concealment gap

4) use Free Exp as WG intended

Don't worry, WG ignores everyone equally
