You need to remove people from game then, as most people want to shoot, not get shot at and BBs or anything with long range provides just that.

We had something like this in the past and mentioned in other topic WG somehow loaded new map hitbox onto servers before releasing patch to the client, I recall getting stuck out of nowhere and shells stopped mid air on Two Brothers, which back then in were getting rework with upcoming patch. That was in late 2015 or early 2016 though. There is no mention of Shards though in 0.8.6 changelog though @Crysantos @MrConway @Sehales Were any server side changes applied recently related to Shards or other maps?

Still, funsies were had "No Weapon in the arsenal of the Imperium or the Traitor equals the Titan Battleship on the battlefield, and a Legion blob of such vast war machines can bring any world to its knees. In truth, a Titan Battleship has only three enemies: folly, hubris, and another of its own kind." — Grand Master Volkus, Ordo Sinister of the Divisio Militaris Sub_Octavian, Lesta of Wargaming Here, fight fire with fire

Yep. "de", most elaborate post in history of ever.

And Mogami is tier 8. Considering closest competitor of "slow reload, high alpha" would be Zao, Milano might trade concealment for "higher alpha" as she is no small bote. Then we know nothing of range as well gun ballistics, WG can easily cut down all three guns firing by giving short range, so you need range upgrade AND spotter to make it work. though looking at this pic, I have odd feeling AA mounts in front will prohibit (short range) firing from first and second turret, so you would be reduced to 3rd one only. Which would be quite kekworthy Ibuki can fire all three turrets forward when firing at targets 18km+ away with similar-ish elevation at that range to seen above. And her guns aren't railguns by far

Mogami says hi Though WG meaning of "slow reload" might mean 14-15s, IJN territory.

I don't think you could swap "free" camos. On paid ones, if you ask politely enough it might happen.

I guess it shows how highly WG think of its customers.

As built, they were somewhat difficult to classify. Battleship armor, but definitely not battleship guns. Brits, as well rest of the world for that matter definition of a battlecruiser was ship with BB guns but with cruiserlike armor, that usually was improved as refits went on (Renown, Repulse, Kongos and what have you). Germans with Scharnies went other way around, focusing on protection, akin to anecdote "primary task for a warship is to stay afloat". Dunno if its someone quote or what, but describes Scharnhorsts just fine Should twins get their supposed refit to 380mm guns (in game Gneisenau) then they would be fully fledged (fast) battleships Based on raw numbers for armor, Siegfried and Renown would be quite similar, though Renown would be slower and most definitely she would need "what if" AA retrofit, because her latewar config is merely comparable to tier 6 Queen Elizabeth in game.

Scharn is a premium ship. And of that rare breed of being unique to play, without being overpowered or otherwise broken. Just like Atlanta with her (many) DD caliber guns is a cruiser. And fun one at that.

Thats actually quite low for ship size and gun caliber, 11.7km, next closest large cruiser would be Alaska with 12.1km. Stalin in comparison have 14.9km.

Kongo as is, could sort of fit as tier 8, maybe 9 battlecruiser. But then, you need to find something to plug hole at tier 5. And no, downtiering Fuso and adding Ise at tier 6 won't do. That, and going by wikipedia 1945 config of Haruna AA, thats more of tier 8 AA suite. Japanese AA suite which you can't expect to shoot down many planes with The same reason Scharnhorst is considered BB - there is more to ship equation than guns alone. Scharnhorst twins have not only battleship level of protection, its actually best in tier. Same gun caliber Graf Spee have armor more in line with cruisers, also limited amount of guns lends itself to cruiser placement.

Check Aslain or (official, sort of) WoWs Modstation for any "camouflage remover" mods? That or humbly ask WG support if they can replace that wonky camo with regular premium one, even if you would be at a loss of that 1k doubloons in price difference. Base green/brown looks off a bit, but by completing "In service of the Motherland" collection you unlock alternate colors, which turns into much more seaworthy black/blue/white whole gallery https://imgur.com/a/gq6qui4

You do lose its benefits by doing that, making it completely worthless

Report it to WG support as possible technical bug then.

Space camos, including "bionic" for US/FR cruisers do have unique sound effects. Especially AA and its "pew pew pew"

Difference is only 45k credits between DM+premium paint and Salem (or Yoshino for that matter)

Khaba, like true DD, loses engine and rudder every time she gets spotted... And she is constantly spotted Also she is only DD where steering gears (both mods) are mandatory "mostly gunboat" for Groz would look something like this with last two points going into AR. This build gives almost everything you would want in Groz. BFT would be nice, but I find additional heal, Engine Boost and DFAA more useful than 0.3s quicker reload, which already is at 3.5s thanks to upgrade AFT gives 14.8km range, enough to some open water jackassery, CE + camo mod gives competetive 6km detection for cap contests

Groz is more of a hybrid than all out gunboat, CE on her helps greatly, bringing camo to 6.0km. And build you've mentioned in terms of captain skills IS THE gunboat build you'd put on Kebab or preceding destroyers.

IJN battleship line still holds strong and nothing wrong with cruiser line. Kongo remains of the the most versatile "BB" at tier 5, Fuso is still gold standard of a T6 battleship, Nagato still delivers "big seven" experience, though she quickly melts under 380mm+ guns or HE spam. Amagi together with NC are staple of T8 battleships, Izumo used to be a stinker, but got some buffs along the way, so should be playable. Yamato is... not easy to master and power crept in terms of gun penetration by pretty much every newer addition (Republique, Conqueror/457, Kremlin), but she still have ability to overmatch (ignore ricochet) 32mm plating, commonly used on battleships. From other lines... I'd advise against IJN DDs and German battleships, former are powercrept by every other nation destroyers having increasingly effective torps while usually having superior gunnery. German BBs are "brawlers" with poor main gun accuracy... which doesn't bode well in current high tier meta of long range stand offs. That and carriers can be truly a frustration exercise. UK cruisers are... unforgiving. Very good when used correctly and with understanding of limitations of their ammunition (AP only, but with improved ricochet angles), but any mistake can send you back to port at supersonic speed. Even more true for hightiers. For replays, you can use this 3rd party site https://replayswows.com/, also you look at other people replays. Humies by nature like to boast about successes

Yep, Des Memes and Salami.

Guns and reload are identical. So is citadel placement (which isn't that low tbh), armor layout and remaining 90% of the ship

There is no overmatch difference between 406 and 420 guns, and if we take Wurst 420mm, then that gun have barely better penetration than Freedom 406mm
