  1. Can someone enlighten me what kind of unicum tactic is this?

    German Battleships Secondaries

    And then, 100mm guns even with IFHE can't dent most cruisers you're likely to bump into, while base HE pen of 16mm is enough to melt Brit cruisers

    German Battleships Secondaries

    Only Massa due to base improved dispersion and then all the accuracy buffs can hope to sink "ambushing DD" within reasonable timespan. And even then said DD is very likely to release torpedo payload.

    Tirpitz players and obsession with torps

    the same reason most people when they think "tank", they imagine 'Tiger". Famous German battleship, "the beast" with service record of firing upon weather station

    German Battleships Secondaries

    Given small caliber secondaries on croissant BBs with exception of Republique, I'd ignore IFHE and leave them be as firestarters. And then there is question if French battleboats are good at brawling, from my experience - not so much.

    Like they did in February? More like potatoes can't even autodrop and pray for RNGesus

    tier 8 vs tier 10 &the new OP ships

    Except 20km torps are meme. And even bigger meme when you land them on something... somehow.

    Ships like T-61?

    Tirpitz players and obsession with torps

    it haz guns and armor of a battlebote, handling of a cruiser and torps of a DD. And its german on top of all that, so hype overload.

    Game is becoming a joke

    If anything, WG condones "pley4phun" crowd. Decent player can make educated guess on premium ship selection and will more or less efficiently grind through silver ships within, lets say, 1 month of premium time. Pley4phun will buy premium ships at random and keep buying premium account to sustain his phun way of playing

    How to repair in Operations?

    Which is totally not noob magnet "oh, I had ricochet off the turret. better go back and spend entire battle humping repair ship"

    I'm somewhat convinced 4 torpedo hits on single target will cause significant emotional event regardless of DD. Okay, not so much when you put four fishes into Yamato torpedo belt and you're playing German DD
  14. I'd say it comes from them having mediocre stats across the board, as even on USN ships, where you can upgrade secondary, damage from it is pitful. On anything else its screen blot basically One does not simply drop torpedo fox, you were warned about that And I guess I'll really have to step up on leveling, +-105 random crowd might not do in 12th map And SoDaks might be needed for AA reasons
  15. Then do the math, or mount autoloader(s) and see if they change anything. For Arizona you might be better off with rapid reloading gun, purple BB 283, or gold 381 if you don't want to completely negate PTSDbote damage output Even "secondaryless" ships have *something* doing the work, easily seen when you put AP main gun and yet, yellow/orange projectiles are coming out.

    Cossack is excellent cap contester, but lacks versatility T-61 might have with only 4 fishes. Also 6 smokes (7 with SI) makes Brit DD "least unsuitable" during Year of the Carrier.
  17. -can you pull out at least one salvo extra within average battle time with autoloader help? -you need to sped up BB salvo a bit to time in with other ship ability, like Formidable slow or Helena radar for autoplay?
  18. Keep in mind you can't exactly bruteforce your way through on 10+ maps unless you have 120lvl ships already. 10th map also requires you to clear 6 mobs to reach boss, thus if you don't want to hurt your boss fleet, repair ship with +1 ammo will come in handy. Event maps are always made to be easy-ish for completion on "normal", "hard" variants, especially later "D" maps needs 100lvl+ fleet. And you might want to visit those harder maps for gold/purple blueprints for event based equipment.
  19. Hp bonus does stack. Hp regen, not so much. +10 Repair Kit gives not that small +500hp, on DD with base +-1500hp, thats quite a bonus.

    Cossack have more gun dpm than Lightning, provided you can bring 4th turret to bear. Torps have longer range and have hilarious 66s reload, but you have only 4 of them total. Top speed is higher due to Engine Boost present. AA goes from "no" to "VERY no". Coss also have significantly worse ballistics than Lightning Le Terrible have faster gun reload and faster torpedo reload, torps also have shorter reaction time despite being slower. 0.3kts faster, not that it matters much for ship going 54kts anyway. 200m worse concealment and again, "VERY no" AA. 700m worse gun range, which can backfire when team refuses to close in and you can't cap due to concealment disadvantage, relegating you to play as handicapped cruiser. In hands of competent player with properly leveled up captain, these differences may tip the scale. In hands of potato, not so much.

    How to play Hermes ??

    You don't. You sell Hermes and get yourself a Hosho. Both much better CV and it leads to actually decent CV line, unlike Hermes.
  22. ...yet. Especially Akashi ability to patch up backline WILL become invaluable on higher maps, when backline will be under attack about as often as frontline is. Columbia get, first battle after bringing down danger level to safe
  23. You don't need more cranes than you have repair ships (Akashi and Vestal), gold barracudas, catapults, MK6 and Tbtsk are good items, so you're safe to +10. Though to reduce cost, I'd upgrade two-three and move them between ships as needed. Having entire Cleveland family outfitted with +10 stuff at once is noice, but it will be expensive, even more so as only two-three ships will see the action anyway. overall, worth a read http://azurlanesanctuarygrossweebskeepout.blogspot.com/2018/09/azur-laneen-in-depth-equipment-guide_13.html
