Or Scharnhorst for that matter, as she gets 26mm pen on 105

Three. Counting upcoming T10 EU derpstroyers of silver and fxp variety

Its not like you can't (can? how do I english before coffee) figure out rough position based on your detection and then lol at MAA with shortened squad, as its based on squadron hp

Not this event comrade I'm afraid

But WG can reduce fun and engaging for tiers not requiring premium account to sustain themselves

How else you're going to convince players to abandon their comfort zone in Budyonny, Helena or Blyatmarck

But with next patch around the corner, German secondaries on tier 8 and 9 take substantial hit as all cruisers get 27mm central plating, rendering 105mm guns ineffective. So either you take IFHE, trading CE or you go to tier 10, where you can have effective secondaries without IFHE

You're forgetting one thing: we're on EU forums, we're safe from WG personnel eavesdropping Imagine Taiho with her historical would-be-loadout of A7M and B7A (stock Haku rockets and Shokek TB/DB), with two full squadrons in reserve as T10 Kaga Or Essex class for that matter. @El2aZeR probably would be delighted to play with even more souped up Hellcats, Avengers and Helldivers at tier 10 (4x4 strike squadron for additional balans)

At this point I'd almost expect WG to release removed CVs as premiums of varying sorts, because why add free content when you can charge for it

So is Zed when you spec for guns... Or shimakaze for that matter.

HE DPM is offset by disturbingly potent AP in terms of damage, trait rather common in German ships with small and medium caliber guns. Grozovoi torps are far from glory one would expect of Russian ship in Russian game. With gun DPM being nothing to write home about either. Gimmick of "AA" was neutered to hell, so you're stuck with ship having identity crisis and then getting all the buttons in hope of fixing that.

Thank god WG removed increased draw distance bonus from what-was-it upgrade in slot 5, Shimakazes no longer can snipe poor baBBies at 20km

On other hand, if Smolensk were to be for steel and Colbert for coal, you would double the whine about Smolensk, also all the noises of "you can't CB without steelbias ships" etc. But then, given WG expertise in perforating one's foot with firearm in regular intervals, makes one wonder how exactly WG came to conclusion of another smoke equipped, decent ballistics CL with (theoretically) remarkable firestarting capabilities would be good for the game

You could try Fletcher+AFT+range mod when it could actually fire as far as 18km. With shell time to impact measured in "yes". And having all the range in the world doesn't stop sneeki breeki lolibotes from spooking you with metal fishes from time to time.

Add to that WG pedigree when it comes to ignoring user feedback and you have perfect recipe for "don't like it, don't play it" We had close to that during first week of the REEEwork... before WG mutilated hotfixed Hakuryu 4TB "flying shima" squadron and slashed in half flooding chance across the board. Flooding chance that was less than half of even weakest shipborne torpedoes to begin with "Fun is when I shoot at boats, not when I'm shot by boats"

Where that info appeared, on stream?

d) make big boomy noises

And what you would be willing to trade for? Because Z-52 is purposefully kept mediocre to "balance" 6km hydro.

If you can't afford base 3% concealment and 4% dispersion camouflage, you might want to rethink your approach to the game. Only signals you can buy are economic ones. Ones affecting combat you have to get good old fashioned way of playing the game and scoring achievements, collecting daily signal containers, participating in PTS, events and whatnot. One obtainable by coal, currency you can get by *gasp* playing the game or occasionally, via event containers at exorbitant prices if you're desperate enough for... not that much gain unless you love to nerdgasm over +10% more for sake of +10% more. Other obtainable by (lots of) elbow grease on tier 10 ships Available in mission marathons and then latter appearing for (granted, excessive pricetag) coal. Two captains for "main" USN and IJN are available permanently via Campaign, which also nets plenty of other resources So called "pay2progress faster", something present in WG games since 2010

In game, you're at sea, so salt is only natural

Aerial/surface concealment of Orkan is identical to Lightning, so you're trading 2nd set of fishes, hydro, brit lol handling and up to 7 smokes for heal, radar and DFAA. And even then, AA dps values are actually worse than Lightning proper. Certainly Orkan might see some action simply due to 5.5km surface concealment and 7.5km radar for maximum balans

Majority of naval engagements in Pacific theatre:

Premium ships that are deemed by WG as "overpowered" are sooner or later removed from sale. And there is no ship, premium or otherwise you can play like absolute idiot and achieve good results. well, there is entire class of ships you could apply for that but, hey, details Most "p2w" moans probably comes aimed at experienced players, who put captains at maximum level onto their premium ships.

Doesn't look to me, more like annoying tease. Chapayev post oath lines on other hand are

Not so much yandere, but she might have a knack for... rougher relationships? D3 requirements make fleet composition annoyingly expensive This bossfight background and fact sirens love to play with tesla tazers gives some quality Red Alert vibes
