There is no shortage of noobs b!tching at other noobs, so for democracy might be useful for once

Breaking news: BB grade HE shells already obliterates engine/rudder/both for good measure.

I'd like option "remove noobs", but then entering battle might prove impossible

You're wrong camrade. This game was World of Battleships from day one http://worldofbattleships.com/ Never in the history of the game we had "low" in battleship population. Closest to that was in 2015 (or early 2016), when WG fixed bug, where ricochets off citadel roof resulted with citadel damage anyway and broke underwater AP penetration at the same time, making cruisers actually not die when battleships looked at them. Was patched in like two days because World of Battleships must continue

Really do you want to give Kremlin british lol heal? Because thats how you give lol heal. You're underestimating power of captured dissidents in large quantities

Which is more of a hindrance than actually useful, given Z-23 and Gaede have "IJN torpboat" kind of bad gun dpm. Only redeeming feature is option to use IFHE for 32mm pen... which would be unique if not for Akizuki being a thing.

Define "gunboat". Long range firing jackass abusing WSAD hax and unable to contest caps? Then Minsk, Kiev and Tashkent. Latter two have actually usable torpedoes and you can stealth torp with maxed out concealment Alternative would be French DD line from tier 8 onward, where they get actually good ballistics instead earlier trebuchets. If you still want trebuchet, then Aigle is good pick. As for "gunboat" for actually playing for the objective... Then any DD, including hightier IJN "torpboats", as IJN guns still hit hard and "gunboat shima" can be disturbingly effective. USN DD line is OG cap contester, with brits being close. Tier 8, Lightning and premium Cossack is one of the best cap contesters IMO. Bonus points for having 6/7 quick recharging smokes, very handy during Year of the Carrier... Or feeling like smoke jackass. Daring is awesome gun hose with heals, but 6km concealment and only 35kts is against Shimakazes tho

Damage control teams were able to repair damage taken by Yorktown, damage which was estimated as "weeks in dry dock" in only 72h just before Battle of Midway. What is your excuse, mechanic?

It seems to be physical max gun range for New York class battleships, as Texas with range mod and spotter caps at 21.3km as well, while should achieve 22.9km. Otherwise spotter stacks with range mod. Other example of "max gun range" I'm aware of is American Dual Purpose Mortar (5"/38, used on all tier 5+ US DDs) have physical range cap of 16.something kilometers, even if theoretically you should have 18km (in Fletcher+AFT+GFCmod2) Navweaps have turret data, main culprit seems to be limited gun elevation to 15 degrees, giving New York class... just over 21km range http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_14-45_mk1.php Same issue should apply to Arizona as well nvm, Pennsylvania class got modified turrets to allow 30 degrees elevation

*Smashing "resign" button intensifies*

This. As much as I have blast with Daring and she have very nice looking black/green/light gray camo, I refuse to buy is simply because you never know WG decides to swing nerfhammer or change overall "meta". And all signs points towards WG not liking DDs that actually play for the objective so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Usual baBBy don't like to be spooked by sneeki breeki DD spotting it all the time and sending metal fishes every so often

On other hand, certain class enjoy not having to deal with sneeki breeki gameplays. The same class also happened to came out unscathed, if not outright buffed from all the CV shenaniganery

I doubt your mental health can get any worse So, technically, playing CVs shouldn't have negative impact on you... anymore

Azuma gun being "rainbow rare" makes sort of sense, as only Azuma can equip it, thus no reason to get multiple copies. In meantime I've got over 30 blueprints for other PR2 guns New gear skins

Y u no liek glorious rashian programmerings?

Oh the horror of having Mutsu and Mutsuki in the same nation. Not only that, they can bump into each other

Aaand they got nerfed Except the premium one, that got buffs.

Except its time, as "arming distance" increases once you add torpedo speed modifiers like Torp. Acceleration or new upgrade in slot 3

Ban everyone above 50% WR. It would be turboglorious, new player, starts first game, wins by accident and permabanned for 100% WR.

Like repeatedly humping spread of torpedoes with your DD?

Camrade Smolensk never had issue of achieving 32mm HE pen, so will rely on RNGesus blessing to inflict harm to the enemies of the state. For other CLs... no change, as IFHE still remain mandatory

The best part is, Kaga and Enty were actually on balanced end of the spectrum... before WG decided to equalize stock and top planes in 3rd or 4th patch of the REEEwork, thus buffing Kaga/Enty planes. Then WG buffed T8 CVs globally with 0.8.7

USN HE bombs are also very... questionable against destroyers since dispersion nerf. Kaga IIRC retain normal accuracy, so can actually attempt to touch destroyers with bombs without need for big RNGesus shrine.
