Which is convenient way of buffing BBs, isn't it?
-
Issue arises when you have the same gun/shell used across multiple tiers. Like IJN 203mm used from tier 5 till 9 or both US cruiser lines, using the same HE shell from tier 6 onwards
-
Or is mained by Khabarovsk captain with Last Stand
-
And then, if memory serves me right, RU 130mm AP shells have lower than usual krupp value, which holds their AP penetration back compared to what they should achieve given shell weight and velocity.

So many masochists are playing "absolutely unplayable" class of ships

Dunno. Given abundance of foxgirls of varying flavors, Shinano looking "normally" and then briefly flicking her ears and tails would stand out to me. -

Which would be additionally interesting if Shinano would be devoid of tails and ears in first place. -
Last devblog on subs stated destroyers will be outspotting submarines this time, if its still valid. Which is as speschul as WG can only make Just like carriers, trying to fit square peg into round hole.
-
Except RPF already was stated to not work on submerged submarines

You mean getting Flooding achievement became effectively impossible since flooding rework, because single flood deals as much damage as single fire, and its completely ignorable if you run tank build on battleship?
-
WG exactly knows what they are doing, they are creating artificial problem and selling (premium) solution to it. Cruisers live too long thanks to 30mm plating? Lets pump out all kinds of BBs with 30mm overmatch capability. Battleships are immune to normal HE shells? Lets introduce supercruisers with improved HE pen. And then introduce battleships immune to those, only to "counter" them with ships entirely balanced by RNG when it comes to fire chance in shape of Smolensk of Colbert. They can both burn down BB in no time or you can print 500+ hits with no fire in sight.
-
"cruiser can farm a BB" only when using island cover and someone else does the spotting. In the open, 1v1, only way for cruiser to win is to stuff battleship with torpedoes somehow or BB must have low hp in first place. Or be of balans variety with plating thick enough to ricochet most AP shells. But then, BB grade HE dismantles Moskva, Petro or Stalin worryingly fast as well and you can't angle against that. Doublepost best post
-
These guns, with exception of Slava can overmatch 30mm plating, present on cruiser amidships. And WG gave T10 cruisers 30mm plating to "increase survivability"... while pumping all kinds of interesting battleships with 30mm overmatch capability in meantime
-
So does BB AP against cruisers. Just point, click, let RNGesus guide shells for you, print citadels or if target dares to angle, regular penetrations for still hefty damage because hurr durr 15k alpha shells. Did I mention AP overpens completely ignore damage saturation, making them preferable choice over HE shells, should they land on saturated sections?
-
Meanwhile Shimakaze and other DDs with questionable turret traverse struggle to keep guns on target But yes, Massachusetts with Halsey+EM is topkek. Almost makes one wonder, if WG would deliver global turret traverse buff to BBmasterrace, given how enjoyable they can be when you can flick turrets around in no time. Nerf BB armor so small caliber AP would remain effective against them, regardless of angling. Happy?
-
I wonder if ever increasing AP performance and accuracy on higher tiered battleships happily sitting bow on have something to do with cruisers being equally passive and playing dice rolls when it comes to rolling fires

So, animal traits that can be switched on and off are canon? -
Ochakov as (very) discounted Smolensk without smoke, but with radar? That said, why premium, when there is number of actually good T8 cruisers up for grabs from tech tree? Amalfi, Charles Martel, Mogami, Baltimore, Cleveland, Chapayev

It seems party skins are coming to EN as well -
Carriers in next season of clan battles...

Petro AP is still inferior to Stalingrad one. That said, 180+120(40) layered armor on Petro can withstand some abuse and it sits lower. -
KM - Kriegsmarine, ie german fleet Other fleet abbreviations you can bump into: RM - Regia Marina, italians. MN - Marine Nationale, french. RN - Royal Navy, brits. VMF - Voyenno-Morsko Flot, russians For Russian battleships, as much everyone love to scream "russian bias", that mostly applies to Sinop and Kremlin. Otherwise, you have somewhat short ranged battleships with questionable at times accuracy at max of their short range, which can leave you frustrated when neither team wants to close the distance. Up to and including tier 6, turret placement is also... interesting, which doesn't quite mix well with their somewhat exposed citadels.

You buff Błyskawica. Done. Then you will have [insert other DD crowd] asking for buffs. And then another. There is a reason why Błyska alongside Anshan and Marblehead were pushed as "freemium" coal ships, WG knows they are mediocre but not mediocre enough to warrant buffs. Perfect state from WG perspective, even more so as there will be buyers for them anyway because cheap premium or historical background.
-
Precisely so you can't stock up on expensive stuff in advance. Couple that with more upgrades available on higher tiered ships and these upgrades get expensive rather fast - full set of 6 upgrades for tier 9+ ship is 125k+250k+500k+1m+2m+3m=6.875m credits.

In old days, you had destroyers with good concealment but bad guns and you had destroyers with bad concealment and good-ish guns. Now, you have destroyers with good concealment, guns, significant torpedo payloads and then some more gimmicks to boot
-
Even if you were to buff "spotted from the moon" destroyers to, lets say, 6.1-6.3km detection... what you would do with IJN torpboats? Akatsuki can be nasty in gunfights and accordingly she already have 6.4km detection. Shiratsuyu somewhat holds her ground with 5.8km detection, but Yuudachi have 6.1km and worse gunnery.
