German BBs got powercrept, as they traded gun accuracy for hidden citadel, which was fine when every other BB except US dreadnoughts had exposed citadel. Then Brits, Croissants and Iowa/Montana citadel change came along... German cruisers were designed around lacking HE but potent AP... with subpar penetration somehow. Armor favoring them at short range, but with slow speed and no gimmick to close that speed. But they have long range guns. Then got improved HE pen, which I guess gave then niche of a high pen HE spammer... totally not fulfilled by IFHEnri and large cruisers WG is pumping into game German DDs are balanced around hydro, which becomes extra broken at Z-52 due to balans 6km detection. That and fast torps, both in reload and speed. Graf Zeppelin is portrayed surprisingly historically accurate, as in incomplete and broken ship, especially after recent nerf spree
-
Best of both worlds is Fletcher, closely followed by Benham and Chinese Fletcher. Gearing since obtaining Fletcher torps trades maneuverability for gunpower.

So... WD40 collab incoming?
-
While you (usually) can get strike through, dealing 5-10k of damage (or in absolute best case scenario, 22k-25k damage when landing ALL AP bombs on target with citadel hits) at expense of entire squadron is a stunt you can pull off once with several minutes of downtime for that squadron, waiting for planes to recover. Even Kaga will get deplaned fast if you keep smashing planes into AA wall repeatedly.

Pilsner Hindenburger or Stolichnaya Moskva camo when?

Actually if you think about it, Germans aren't really "hybrids" as they struggle to outgun IJN, so by extension IJN "torpedo boats" aren't true torpedo boats anymore They can outlast them in a gunfight due to hp pool, but then they are considerably outspotted so... balans? HE DPM Gaede (both guns option) - 70400 Fubuki/Hatsuharu - 64500 Maass - 112500 Akatsuki - 96750 Shiratsuyu - 80625 Z-23/15cm - 99000 Kagero - 109650 Z-46/Z-52 - 135000 Yugo/Shima - 135450

Whats wrong with product placement as well selling user data to make up for them cheap basterds not buying the whalest of whale packs you generously priced at 199€/piece?

Upcoming Monarch citadel nerf
Panocek replied to FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor's topic in General Discussion
Fixed. WG "ackgnowledged" BB overpopulation as a thing around time of introduction of German BB... I've yet to see actual nerfs or MM changes related to battleships. -
Upcoming Monarch citadel nerf
Panocek replied to FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor's topic in General Discussion
If that means average amount of BBs per team goes from 5 to 4 then I'm all in Actual armored deck is higher, this is/would be splinter deck. But conveniently bumped up from 19mm to important 32mm because reasons -
Entire tiering issue could be easily fixed by flattening plane hp and AA dps across the board, but that defeats "stick and carrot" motivation for player to get next, bigger, badder ship

Upcoming Monarch citadel nerf
Panocek replied to FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor's topic in General Discussion
Even then, citadel ends at waterline. I don't see Iowas and Montanas autoimploding when they broadside... unlike old glorious times. Actually, this change might add UK BBs to list of viable AP bomb targets -
Summer sale has begun - but this time it has offer I have never seen before!

Taco cannot into moniesmakings -
Then why you play your carriers and "ruin the game" for others?

Hey, at least you could play Atago when waiting for Atago -
Which I guess explains IJN DD popularity

Someone have to populate tiers lower than 10 Already there is overabundance of tier 10, which makes T8 MM miserable as you have noticed And UK carriers are I guess fail at WG design department, that and can't help but notice whole CV REEEwork was a cashgrab of highest order to release premium CVs ASAP when carriers on the whole weren't even remotely balanced, so repeated "systematic changes" were in order, because "WG doesn't nerf premiums... directly"
-
High tier ships being unaffordable in the long run for free2play player is by design, even more so in Coop battles. Thus, you need mid tier (5-6, 7 if you feel confident) ship(s) to make some credits. Obviously, if you put premium paint on your T10, you have to be extra speschul to actually lose credits with that one, beauty of 50% cost reduction coupled with 20% credits extra Selling hightier ships, including your T8 CV (Implacable) is going to be extraordinary waste of credits. On other hand, it is British CV of tier 8, you can't have worse "CV experience" than that, so selling it and getting other ships might not the worst idea. Even more so as two CV nerfs are in the pipeline with no buffs in sight.

On wiki you need to toggle "top" specs, as by default you have stock modules. That and you still have preview in game
-
Last time I've checked, Nico have 4s reload instead 4.8s, which equalizes DPM. And in case of less than full broadside available, Nicholas will outpewpew Hill. That and 1k hp extra, which is not that small amount on T5. Did I mention almost 900m concealment disadvantage for the Hill (6.5km vs 7.4km)?
-
Obtaining Fletcher on your day two of DD adventure is somewhat unlikely, if all you want is to make "plop" sounds every minute or so

Wank Thunder is all about fun and engaging mechanics And there is no gold at the end of grind rainbow, while I'd say 4.0BR is/used to be the most balanced BR in game, with plenty of fun planes. Including extra balans La-7 Spotting in tanks relies more on standard issue, mark 1, eyeball than in game spotting thingy, thus you can have noice graphics or you can have fun. Not exactly both -
I can agree with Lightning and Cossack being gudbotes, you can't outbalans solid gunpower with top kek 5.5km surface detection. But Icarus and Jervis are simply meh and outclassed by Pan Asian counterparts. Daring and Jutland seems pointless compared to ye olde Fletcher and Gearing.

Dunno, but I guess it works. Some mini event with subs in construction, otherwise Baguette themed event just ended. And do you not appreciate carrier free gameplay in Wank Thunder? Planes, be it arcade or RB is pretty much all about getting altitude advantage, or in case of bombers, yolo in and drop payload before you're intercepted. If you get an idea to climb to 7km+ in bomber, either game will end or you will be intercepted anyway. And considering Air Supremacy (or was it domination?) was short lived game mode you don't get many opportunities to win games as fighter player -
Get Nicholas as free sample
