  1. CVs aren't enough Radar cruisers aren't enough We need carriers dropping radar cruisers onto enemy DDs now

    CA captain skills?

    EU railgun torps have similar/te same reaction time as most non IJN torps of 8s

    CA captain skills?

    Literally standard issue, build, heavy cruiser, mark 1 thats in game since last skills rework back in 2016? With last 4 points spent at your leisure I guess. Same can be used on CLs with last 4 points going into IFHE
  4. At this stage, if rewards doesn't consist of North Carolina, Bunker Hill or Amagi I might not be interested
  5. Not interested in "oathing" set of pixels with few lines playing on repeat. Otherwise missions are done
  6. Most skills and upgrades can be summed up as

    Radio Localization is good for making people buttsore, especially when you learn to drop torps based on direction and general clues like "why A is capping itself"

    Update 0.9.2 – European Destroyers: Part 1

    Now, its not exactly WG blame you've decided to bring cruiser with DD guns to fight Same goes with "oh so OP" Smolensk You can't exactly adapt to losing ability to inflict direct damage except not play ship in first place.

    Update 0.9.2 – European Destroyers: Part 1

    What if its the goal, with change being skill equalizer. So you can't flex your game knowledge and skill to have an actual impact on battle, while clueless randoms will get something from fires anyway

    Update 0.9.2 – European Destroyers: Part 1

    Except it is a Smolensk buff against AP - yes, 16mm will be overmatched. No, you need seriously steep angle to actually arm the fuse on that. And finally Smolensk will be viable threat to other Smolensk I suppose. Lesson learned, don't spend on ships as you never know when they might pull "global change" card

    Aaaand 105mm got effectively nerfed with introduction of 27mm plating on T8 and T9 Buffed Scharnhorst secondaries should be quite dank in Narai... but that requires having Narai in first place

    While there is very little difference in terms of stats between stock and top planes, sometimes you get bigger squadron, which in turn translates into larger reserves. Rockets seems to be the biggest gain for Shokaku, getting 3/9 squadron instead 2/8 AND planes get heavier rocket payload. So, instead throwing 8 rockets per run you throw 18, considerable improvement when dealing with DDs and occasional cruiser 19 point captain on Zao, or any other CA is IMO a waste, there aren't any interesting/useful skills past PT/PM, EM, AR, SI, Demo, CE for heavy cruiser. CL can use the same setup and throw in IFHE. AA skills are worthless, Vigilance becomes increasingly obsolete as you learn with preemptive torpedo evasion. Radio Location? Maybe, as "least useless" I guess.
  13. Daring also competes with Harugumo theorethical dpm and unlike EU derpstroyers, have plenty of smoke and outspots both. And as Daring torps are questionable to begin with, you can go full gunboat, while EU will be torn between torp reload and gun reload upgrades.

    why Worcester can't pen 38 mm?

    Except no, as they (for now) use /6 HE pen. So 180mm shell have the same penetration as 152mm where is bussian rias when you need one

    Mogami as of now, due to glorious IFHE REEEwork got even better - 155mm guns with IFHE can penetrate up to and including 38mm HE, thus you can inflict hurt to hightier USN battleships like Iowa or Montana. 203mm I suppose are serviceable, but if you intend on keeping Mogami, I'd eventually get spare captain, get IFHE and use 155mm Amagi fixes one main flaw of Nagato - being overmatched by 380mm guns or bigger. In Amagi, only BB that is actual threat (AP shell wise) is Yamato. Rest you can ricochet with angling. Top speed of 30kts doesn't hurt either. Shokaku might be one of the best silver CVs in game. She isn't exactly forgiving due to IJN specialized plane loadouts though. El2aZeR replays would be one place to start I suppose

    Go bother WG why is that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    LWM's IFHE Change Table

    27mm hull and deck, 30mm upper hull. And with IFHE she have 38mm HE pen on 155mm guns. Making her THE light cruiser of high tiers?

    3 Smolensk's MM

    Well, WG just shaved off meat because players asked for Smolensk nerf Or pray EXTRA hard to RNGesus your overmatching shell somehow clip through deck. Or ask Smolensk to angle harder, preferably almost bow on - 16/cos 75 degrees gives merely 61mm effective, not enough to arm even 380mm.

    why Worcester can't pen 38 mm?

    152/5=30.4, rounded down to 30. 30*1.25=37.5, not rounded thus 37mm plating is thickest that can be damaged unless you find 37.5mm plating somewhere. On opposite, German 15cm is rounded up to 38 (150/4=37.5). Which conveniently goes with Mainz being in the works german bias

    why Worcester can't pen 38 mm?

    Result of dividing caliber by 4, 5, 6 or whatever is rounded mathematically. Further IFHE shenaniganery isn't. Also NC had 37mm deck for since always, so Nopeburger always could damage that. I've dared to assume WG used common math rounding, ie 1-4 go down, 5-9 go up. I know, logic and WG aren't best friends at best of times.
