I think CV should be removed (or rebalanced) - the whole community is complaining about the current state

And post patch will have 25mm, leaving you with tiny bow/stern to fire at. With scattergun no less Basically every encounter will look like current fight against Aoba/Myoko - disturbingly tough cookie unless you win the jackpot
-
Lyon AP performance is even worse than KGV class and both rely on broadside being present. What they won't probably like is increase in overmatch-able guns as people will probably stop playing lidl battleships who can't just nuke pleb cruisers
-
You have two 380mm+ at tier 6 already, 5 counting premiums. At tier 7 only three BBs don't have 380mm or bigger guns, two of which are somewhat rare to fire AP in first place, 3rd will probably HEblast you anyway given paltry performance of 340mm AP
-
Uparmoring cruiser central section is noble idea, but plating used works only against smallest BB guns. Which if anything, will discourage players from playing Richelieu or Bismarck and push them into higher tier... so WG can sell more premium accounts and premium paints.

"Post count" won't statpad itself -
TL;DR you're brought back to square one. Which means IFHE remains mandatory. Which in turn makes entire REEEwork pointless, as WG could simply nerf fire chance of the skill alone and be done with it.

Does your definition of a good ship design include size of a torpedo belt? -
For "fun" I can recommend French cruisers with exception of Henri IV, acceleration nerf was brutal on her. Good range, Engine Boost with healthy dose of WSAD enables some open water action when you're bored of island humping. If you think you can make it, Russian cruisers. From tier 5 onward line turns into long range fire support, also due to upcoming changes Kirov (tier 5) and Moskva (tier 10) will turn into premium and special ships respectively and you will keep them if you have them in port before change

While you can double stack rudder mods to bring it into more usable 5.3s, 11km base gun range, 13.5km with AFT in era where almost every cruiser have railguns to nail you is just... no. For russian gunboat, end at Tashkent, even more so as she was repeatedly buffed and is basically Khaba of old (6s rudder, over 15km range, decent torps and can stealth torp with maxed camo) without one turret and without "feature" of eating BB AP pens. Kiev is a blast as well. Always was. First slice of pew pew the russian way you should get with Podvoisky. Gnevny is closer to regular DD tho, with Minsk you go back to being loud and proud

100mm firecrackers have base 16mm pen, 22mm with IFHE. Which means, you're spending 4 points to be able to harm DDs and BB superstructure only. 127mm of Republique with IFHE can damage 27mm, which makes her at least effective against lowertier cruisers. While you could argue 152mm guns get 32mm pen, reload on those guns goes from terrible (12s on Richelieu, Alsace, Gascogne Jean Bart) to very meh 8s on Republique. That is a lot of *if* on a build being one bif *IF* to begin with.
-
French secondaries always were about firestarting instead direct damage. From hightier ships only Republique have secondaries big enough to actually do direct damage to platings you can meet.
-
30mm plating on other hand is "just right" to arm 430mm+ guns at extreme angles while overmatching said plating
-
WG doesn't want you to play with puny 380mm, you need to go bigger comrade
-
According to WoWsft Donskoi 180mm AP and German 203 L/60 C/34, penetration is almost identical on both. And then not sure if Nevsky doesn't get new shells to push the balans bit into her favor
-
What WG will give for Yashima are ships with 35mm plating, like upcoming RU cruisers
-
Blue tracers are used by unique French captain as well collab Ovechkin captain. Italian one used to have tri color (red green white) tracers, but WG decided "it doesn't fit the game"
-
On other hand, it can be quite daunting task to rack up damage when RNGesus shows you the middlest of middle fingers and you get two fire ribbons out of 600+ HE shell hits Fires that were immediately put down because randoms

Kurfurst should have the biggest health in the game ?

Ah, you want brit lol heal, active for 20 minutes, so only way to kill Balans is by ramming one with another Balans? -
JB will be struck quite hard by plating changes, as almost every T8+ cruiser will be able to ricochet her guns. Smolensk from the same plating changes will lose her 30mm deck and upper hull, which probably will result in more overpens. But I don't like idea of ship being balanced by RNG - if you can't get fires that stick, your damage output is borderline useless. AP against broadsides and HE against destroyers can be devastating tho.

PT: IFHE, HE shells penetration, and balance changes

Bayard literally is testbed of new IFHE and people paid for involuntary beta testing. -
