You can have the heaviest broadside and it matters little when nothing connects with the target. And given only 15 round magazines on IJN 25mm autocannons, I wouldn't be surprised if "only 7" Bofors from Halland with their continuous clip reload would deliver more kgs of ordnance into the air over, lets say, 3 minute firing exercise. Times when WG cared about "historical details" ended somewhere in 2018, maybe earlier. So don't expect Yamato getting "high dps with low hit chance", especially as with 0.8.7 WG squashed dps values down HARD. Minotaur used to have like 1500dps on her mid range alone. Heck, Yamato pre 0.8.7 had 1k dps as well. While I'd love to have AA akin to War Thunder, ie every AA gun actually firing projectiles, I'm afraid servers wouldn't enjoy calculating all the ordnance sent into the sky from, lets say, three Iowa class battleships. Given tiny (10g) explosive (or rather incendiary) filler on 25mm Japanese guns compared to 115g in later Bofors 40mm... if you hit - congrats, you made a hole. So what? Absolute best case scenario, you set (self sealing) fuel tank on fire. Direct Bofors hit was known to break wings, rendering plane out of control. Near miss with proximity fuse wouldn't be as bad, but easily could wound pilot unless armored cockpit

1000dps with 10% hit chance or 100dps with 100% hit chance is the same in current AA mechanics. And again, 7 Halland mid range Bofors guns, but with all the post war goodies - proximity fuses and full remote power control from radar WILL be much more effective at AA duties than 52 triple 25mm manually operated mounts of Yamato. Both for ability to get correct lead, explode and deliver shrapnels on near misses as well effectively ignore ship movements, while manually operated IJN guns had their aim disrupted when Just Dodging

Long range AA during RTS days could effectively stealth fire at planes and when directing strike craft, you could easily miss "planes taking fire" when fighters left over cap were picked off by AA.

Large amount of guns means little when those guns are like absolute worst AA gun you could put on a ship. Magazine fed, slow, manual train and elevation and directed by mark 1 eyeball are traits you DON'T want in AA gun if you want it to be considered effective. And "almost hit him" in AA gunnery wins you damage control teams scrambling and medical bay having sudden influx of wounded personnel... Or to identify based on what left of them.

One thing I like about AL is how they can weave ship design or history into their character. Jean Bart in question - you wouldn't be exactly happy-go-lucky when you started war incomplete, got stuck in some backwater port in your incomplete state, got beaten by other BB, technically sunk, refloated, guns from your only one operational turret stripped and given to your sister. And finally completed after the war, in era of the carriers. Roon is... highly psychotic character in Azur Lane and she takes bit too much enjoyment out of combat and she is no exception in WoWs. If anything, her voice actress did marvelous job of portraying her when recording Roon lines for WoWs.

Torp detection upgrade is meaningful only against DWT, as IJN, EU and FR torps already have 1.8km detection or similar

I know Edinbruh and Belfast are sisters, which also gives you an idea how much effort WG put into coming up with Belfast 43.

And giving all upgrade slots for every tier is just that.

Thats the point, ship itself isn't changed. Besides, where was the reee when DoY was nerfed and Błyska lost stealth firing? We already know next dockyard ship, so WG have +-3 months for adjusting hull for other Town class CL. Besides, Belfast 43 by the looks of it is basically copy/paste of Edinbruh so

Belfast lost torps with her post war retrofit -> gets downtiered But why T7 Belfast kept 5th upgrade slot is beyond me. @MrConway half trolling, half serious suggestion: remove tier restriction on upgrade slots, so Belfast no longer have unique concealment advantage -> isn't (as) overpowered anymore -> can be sold and current WIP Belfast '43 becomes Sheffield or other Town class CL for dockyard or somesuch. Alternatively: -give 5th upgrade slot to tier 7 ships -give 6th upgrade slot to tier 8 ships, thus tier 8 would mark where "high tier" ships would start. Or just remove Concealment upgrade altogether (preferably alongside CE skill), so players could truly enjoy freedom of builds, with all skills/upgrades being equally ineffective

On other hand, it allows you to get T8 prem relatively cheaply without much in the way of grinding. With Odin issue lied with ship being rather mediocre, but if Anchorage goes live with current set of stats (12gun, American Piercing, US smoke+spotter, Fletcher torps) I might be potentially interested in getting her.

Given Nelson is arrogant tsundere (type of personality), she will more likely call you idiot before wishing you well. Or "good luck you idiot, you will need it" That said, lines recorded for WoWs are usually tamer than in AL, probably to not expose way of the baka to potential first comers to anime style content.

I mean these camos Which could be mounted on any ship when you got them.

Probably it will be like those Christmas camos that you could install on any ship of choice.

Imagine carrier of tier between 6 and 8...

Something of the sort was suggested back during first collab... didn't happened so I wouldn't set hopes high.

Same applies to secondaries - so many skill points and upgraded invested into situational gimmick that can and will be removed from your ship as you start taking damage

AFAIK they were added for purchase from "customization" menu, no idea why/if they were removed. I can't check as I already have Scharny/DoY arctic camo and I don't own Edinbruh to check on her.

And yet, destroyer hull (or any other warship hull outside of armored belt) is made of basically sheet metal. This is, supposedly, Norfolk turret barbette overpenetrated by "merely" 283mm from Scharnhorst. And then none of Scharnhorst shells that hit Norfolk exploded thus damage was minimal. Probably due to lack of smoke, something that actually can help against CVs. And then Halland entire mid range dps comes from only 7 mounts which are very easy to remove.

1160 (Bismarck) to 1910 (Shikishima) for hightier BBs, so devstriking DD with "overpens alone" is perfectly doable. But hey, REEE is free Breaking news - shooting paper target with .50BMG doesn't obliterate said paper target, just leaves nice hole. Same occurs when you use munitions meant to defeat 300mm+ of hardened armor against plating designed to withstand water splashing. And AP overpens are perfectly capable of knocking out engine/torps/turrets but you need to hit them to begin with

And actual result being blowing up Musashi gun. Glorious win comrade
