    Carriers

    Set up yourself a training room against various bot ships (armed, not necessarily moving) and practice evading flak

    Carriers

    Now, if you were to remove the wheel, it would do no hops. Problem solved comrade

    Somers - worth the steel?

    Basically, its not broken enough to warrant its pricetag in steel

    Somers - worth the steel?

    620m vs 640m, no idea about acceleration, my main issue with Gearing.

    Somers - worth the steel?

    On paper, she looks like gimped Gearing. Same 16km torps, longer reload despite using quad launchers, absolute joke of a AA - prewar set up with few .50cal and 28mm, main guns are NOT dual purpose, with dps so bad you can't even get fighters off your head. Butchered reload on main guns on what would be perfect "US Akizuki" at tier 7-8 with 6km fishes, but nooo, "torpedoboat" flavor it is. Bit faster and bit better camo than Gearing. You be the judge.
  6. You mean antennas, that for some working as intended reasons are raised, just like Ranger smokestacks? If you wanted to "hurr durr guided missiles I win button" then you're few years late, as WG already attempted to introduce guided missile destroyers. Russian ones, no less. But despair no need, as you might have your chance for "hurr durr guided missiles I win button" once more as WG not so long ago updated EU tier 10 destroyer model (what was it, Failland? Allahland? Halland?) with clearly Saab guided missiles of whatwasit model
  7. Neither ships in this game should have UAV to give direct vision to gunners. Same goes with ships arbitrarily having or not having tools and materials to carry out off-shore repairs. Or all torpedo equipped ships having spare torpedoes for reload. Most tier 5-6 ships have WW2 refits as hull upgrades, so T6 and T8 carriers also should have rockets strapped to "upgraded" planes as well.

    HE is way too powerful

    Wargaming attempted that shortly after introducing German BBs on one of the PTS. "buttsore of spectacular proportions" would be an understatement What if... HE spamming with hope of starting fires is only reliable solution for two out of four classes to deal with ship class that is otherwise immune to direct damage?

    DPM difference between Fiji and Edinburgh

    You might want to know your enemy. Brit CA of tier 9 and 10, Henri IV, supercruisers and all battleships are a no go.

    DPM difference between Fiji and Edinburgh

    While 203mm "immunity" is nice, amount of 230+ guns capable of overmatching 16mm plating only increases. So you may or may not be back at square one. Or don't rely on armor in the first place

    DPM difference between Fiji and Edinburgh

    Welcome to ships made to the same specs, or bound by the same treaty, which happen yo cover most tier 6-8 vessels. In game wise, Edinbruh gets improved heal, option to swap smoke with radar, improved torps, 16mm plating so she no longer can be overmatched by 203mm guns. And by virtue of being tier 8, she can mount Concealment upgrade, bringing her detection to 9km if memory serves me right.
  13. Azuma NEEDS her 310mm gun, otherwise she is just... expensive eye candy. Getting max dev level on rainbow ships WILL be lengthy journey, as you need 50% more blueprints (340vs510) and they don't drop as often. So looting universal rainbow blueprints from any event exchange is a go.

    IFHE or Demolition Expert??

    Neither and then don't play Khaba. https://wowsft.com/ship?index=PRSD110&modules=11111&upgrades=133331&commander=PCW001&skills=271761411&ar=100&consumables=111

    Test Changes to Pan EU DD's

    So will any other DD except German 15cm benefit from BFT and AR. "AA worth mentioning" is a thing on tier 9 and 10, lower tiers have (lack of) anti air in line with other destroyers.
  16. While leaving glorious and lidl battleships intact at the same time

    Test Changes to Pan EU DD's

    You're barking at the wrong forum I'm afraid
  18. That would be one https://stats.wotapi.ru/stats/wows/eu/total https://stats.wotapi.ru/stats/wows/na/total https://stats.wotapi.ru/stats/wows/ru/total https://stats.wotapi.ru/stats/wows/asia/total Set time scale to all and you might notice downward trend on RU, with EU and NA staying mostly stable, while Asia server recently exploded in population. Arpeggio collab?
  19. Except RU server was bleeding players since day one. CV REEEwork probably had little impact on that. As if russians weren't that much into boats. Like they knew their navy in ww2 was minor force... Or was it ground forces that bled their way through to victory?
  20. Also to make planes unbearingly "slow" you would have to give them 100kts tops. Thats biplane tier speed. Heck, Midway planes already fits the bill of "slow", as her planes are the slowest of the three.
  21. baBBies moaned about HE since day one... so no meta change here. Fixed. When only skill check in game is to click "battle" enough times, even biggest wanklords will eventually get their new and shiny tier 10 to yolo with.
  22. You mean "WG lost so many players due to CV REEEwork" and yet, playerbase remain stable on EU. If anything, its RU in panic, so WG keep adding bias to stop their home server from dying.
  23. Spend 25s flying with new squad after bailout or spend 25s potatoing around. You still have massive downtime between attacks Also wasn't point of REEEwork to remove "big alpha"?

    ST - armor-piercing rockets

    But... but... carriers won't be able to set fires to main audience in battleships
  25. Panocek

    ST - armor-piercing rockets

    With WG modus operandi, you could almost expect massive ricochet angle buff to make them "more effective against angled targets". Or lowering penetration and shortening fuse, turning them into essentially SAP, should "AP rockets prove inadequate against destroyers".
