Le Fanta have range in line with tier 9 and 10 (13km, 12.8km and 13.6km respectively). And while reload sounds intimidating the wrong way, including theoretical dpm below IJN "torpedoboats", once you stack all the gun reloading goodies it becomes much more workable (6.3s on Mogador, 5.5s on Kleber), while MBRB temporarily gives you Gearing experience... which is enough to trash any DD into submission, assuming aim and all guns are on point. Maxing out camo is needed to make use of these torps, but unlike RU, they are actually worth it. Not so much on Fanta due to atrocious 1.8km detection, but 1.4km on Mogador and Kleber, combined with 75kts of their turns them into fine brown alert for smoked DDs I run them as such And I can't think of any other build that is better than this. PT-LS-EM-AR-SE-BFT-SI-Demo and running with Range upgrade and you end up with inferior reload (unless low hp due to AR) and range compared to above, while getting only one MBRB extra and superficial 2% fire chance. Still, initial impression is Kleber is old Kebab reincarnate and I don't think she will stay as she is now for long. Guessing range AND maneuverability will take a hit, just like Kebab suffered, you can't have zippy gunbote molesting baBBies at range where they can't hit you reliably at tier 10. That and/or eating full AP BB pens because WG glorious balans

You mean Azur Lane, where you can (and kinda have to) play minecraft mounting ahistorical equipment on ships because OE rarely gets the job done? Primary flaw with your concept - everyone would simply tack Yamato, DM/Moskva, Minotaur or IJN 100mm on their ships as "best in slot". Not entirely sure if you would want to bump into Shima with 100mm or upcoming Venezia with 5x DM turrets for dakka overload. Or Conqueror with four Yamato turrets for that matter @Uglesett here I raise you Atlanta Flint hull with eight six quad 130mm turrets. For balans reasons obviously.

I'd say there is arms race between Wargaming and Gajiin, who can quack up their game(s) in new and interesting ways

Silver alternative would be Lightning. Or if you're EXTRA brave, Kagero with gunboat spec captain.

For the same reason Alsace was nerfhammered, to make room for premium equivalent

So one thread full of REEE and another with REEEEE are fine?

Kronshtadt and Soyuz makes some sense, as both were under construction and both are tier 9 And given Yostar and WoWs "ship interpretation" don't go hand in hand, quirky, if not outright crappy russian shipgrills can be a thing in AL. Already I can imagine "day off" l2d skin in tracksuit, slav squatting and eating sunflower seeds

three weeks to be precise. And roughly estimating 1-1.5mil exp of Monarch and 1mil from Neptune

You drunk again? Though spreadshiet says 7.6 tier for me with tier 8 being most common I guess

Yamamoto with improved EM brings base turret traverse in line with Montana

rip Carabiniere

Guessing it will devolve into Cossack/Aki/Enty

36TB for Haku and 36DB for Midway when?

Not so much benefited, as they weren't as shafted as cruisers.

And yet, Kaga and Enty got planes hp buffed again during AA and plame hp reshuffle in 0.8.7 to be in line with regular T8

This is part where you discover flaw of representing "lethality" via numerical "hit points" in games

Well, S_O mentioned whole CV REEEwork is "community driven idea"... so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Start using proper, as in IJN high damage torps maybe? Most "one hit kills" during ww2 came from dreaded IJN and their 500kg warhead, compared to +-300kg in other nations fishes

Conqueror, though that might have something to do with using her as intended - long range HE slinger with no gameplay impact

So far, never happened. Tier 6-9 were twice on 50% discount and twice on 25% Keep in mind even T10 aren't free from "balans checks" *cough* YY *cough* And Kleber so far is ancient Kebab reincarnate and I thoroughly doubt she will stay as is even more so as her prem paint is uninspiring, including alternate colors

Priority for MM is to cut queue times as much as possible. And if it cant give you "first impression" battle, then it will discard such fancy rules and flush you with whatever available. Also I think divisioning also throws away such rules.o

Premium camos on tier 10 of choice? Other than that... it depends on what you'd expect from premium. Scharnhorst for Narai shenanigans, Le Trollible if you're looking for challenge

Le Fanta have less gun dpm than Kagero From tier 8 onward you might be better served with "russian" gameplay, putting range (and AFT) and much improved ballistics into motion, though when opportunity arises, cease firing and go torp some (preferably coming towards you) battleships. Even more so at tier 9 and 10, where concealment difference clearly exceeds 1km compared to other DDs. They are no team players, just opportunists. Just like RU DDs, the closest to teamwork is assisting DD proper at the cap Same as on any other non Akizuki DD - it allows you to touch hightier cruisers with exception of tier 10 and occasional midtier BBs. AP on other hand, can be violent surprise for cruisers at 10km or less

More like these ships have much smaller hp per section, thus if you can't evade fishes, get one on bow/stern
