More like awful against russian and german BBs, all-or-nothing armored ships eat SAP all day every day. And for SAP to ricochet you need to present perfect bow on, anything less and they will go through. In DD I'd focus on presenting as small target as possible, as even bow on I've received substantial SAP hits when bumrushing Zara

Given experience in Trento and Zara: you don't engage glorious Russian BB master race and lidl knockoffs - SAP can damage only superstructure and unarmored bow/aft sections, just like HE but without fires. Otherwise ask them gently to show broadside for AP massage. With 70-80 degrees angle for ricochets, target needs to be PERFECTLY bow on to shrug SAP off, anything less and they will do damage. Against all-or-nothing armored ships SAP can be devastating, same with destroyers when you hit amidship (which doesn't saturate). Ez devstrike that way. You use AP only when you have broadside cruiser and you're certain you will land citadels or armored all around battleship. Otherwise, SAP all the way. Pasta smoke is like the most useless gimmick in game, as firing penalty continues when you enter smoke, which is substantial, around 9km. So you can't fire and fart, you need to fire, wait 20s and then fart. Or not fire at all. Venezia may have some alpha punch, imagine 15gun Yoshino firing HE but also suffering absolute RNG trolling when rolling fire chance. But outside of alpha, I don't see anything IFHEnri won't do just as good, if not better.

Glorious russian BB master race and German lidl knockoffs handle HE spam the best due to their armor scheme. Also they almost entirely ignore SAP rounds from Pizza cruisers

AFAIK its based on Chromium. But then its russian programmering, so

The best/worst part is, I can imagine WG doing just that, unarmed squadron, or even single plane with radar, hydro and other such nonsense as answer to "CV cannot into teamwork" complaints. On second thought... disable 3d spotting, something WG tests anyway already and replace useless Combat Air Patrol with Spotter Plane - provides actual spotting and dispersion bonus when firing at ships spotted by it. Here, teamwork fixed camrades

I'd add hydro buoys you could drop on parachute into water, preferably into smoke. You can't have radar picket aircraft with radar on cooldown camrade.

And 2nd batch of PR ships is hinted to come to EN servers in December?

Almost makes one wonder why WG went with Indomitable instead Illustrious or Victorious. Or Formidable for that matter... Or check Nagato. You would expect something... proper, after all, Big Seven and such nonsense, even more so after seeing other Big Sevens in game. On other hand... FdG

I guess you've yet to discover what AL can deliver

Precisely why you stick below BR 7 in Wank Thunder. Also to spread freedom with totally not under BR'd Mustangs and Thunderbolts, as well to bring balans in finest plywood glorious Russian areospace industry have to offer

Change that fortified Conq as long range HE slinging jackass, because any kind of brawling and she goes back to port faster than Yamato. Y u no like new and glorious balans camrade? Which may or may not indicate WoT will go full War Thunder, throwing balance, or even balans out the window and turn towards "play flavor of the month or not at all" when it comes to top tier content. Even if they introduce smoothbarrels and ATGMs as tier 11+, it will be a spit in the face for everyone wanting to be "competitive" by collecting relevant tier 10s.

You have Georgiamobile AFAIK, so I don't think getting another 457mm battleboat will help you that much. That and its clear WG needs more data, so Smolensk it is

Its WG modus operandi, what have you expected?

Since when you're actual WG employee, besides being conscripted into forum moderation?

More like she is completely stripped of emotions, akin to vat grown human with single purpose of its creation. No "official" lore background on that tho. For second PR batch... dunno. Thinking of Azuma or Kitakaze, though I already have three Akizukis for meme dakka fleet. Or FdG as I finally have german backline, so she would be reason to actually put them into action (and I hope I get enough purins by that time)

Well, crypto currencies won't mine themselves from those freeloaders and paying customers too

Or wasn't updated to new version.

if you want to see "power creep: the movie" from first row

More like they never paid attention to it ever. Same with WoT "arty" topic, matchmaking topic and such - not to get feedback, but give players place to reee also, RIP CVs

Maybe I am slowpoke, but when Błyskawica was added to pool of coal ships?

Because WG don't fit gimmick to the ship, they fit ship to the gimmick.

I've yet to see someone actually catch them. And Zara AP are overpen simulator 2019 with their excessive shell velocity.

Are you implying Pasta torps are of any value?
