For everything else there's mastercard Montana

Helena HE alpha is identical to Myoko (15x2200=33000 vs 10x3300=33000), with IFHE equalizing HE penetration, lower fire chance is offset by rate of fire. AP potential is actually higher on Helena, but then her AP pen is lacking outside of 10km. And then Myoko got some time ago turret traverse buff, which makes her much more comfortable to play. TL;DR get both You might want to put some Wallet Damage Control in effect, as WG is increasingly desperate for money, so "sales" might only increase in numbers That tier T8 premiums are in a bad spot due to atrocious matchmaking, result of, well, tier 9 premiums and very forgiving (for paying players that is) economy of tier 10.

Keep in mind with increase of "alpha" you almost universally trade reload and in case of battleships, accuracy. So don't get hyped up about "alpha" so much.

Client would do exactly the same as it does now - draw tracers and flak effect, so little if any change here.

Helena have very good firing arcs (30 degrees off axis) thus she can keep all guns firing and have good chance of ricocheting most, if not all AP. Not mentioning smaller and much deeper in water citadel. And then she can bury ships with amount of shells with her 8.5s base reload. Did I mentioned very comfortable turret traverse speed, unlike Myoko? And then there is 3xLyon division for 48 memes every 30s

All calculations are done on WG servers... the same servers are surprisingly unstable in the long run recently

Myoko indeed have crappy gun firing angles, but actual ship is one of the tankiest cruisers at tier 7 - hp, 25mm amidship, 32mm deck with some angling lets you shrug off quite an amount of ordnance. Double post best post

In terms of alpha per tier, Myoko is challenged by Helena and then beaten by Pensacola, having the same 10gun salvo of American Piercing at tier 6. And then you have Wyoming or Gangut with 12gun broadside at tier 4

Game is (roughly) balanced around teamwork, its not exactly WG fault their audience is too speschul to understand that Which isn't unique to WoWs, you can point out player idiocy in pretty much any game involving multiplayer.

Dunno, any other class doesn't have the same "outclassed" feeling, not on this scale. All T8 BBs can shrug off all but Yamato class ordnance just fine while they can return the flavor with their own 16" guns. Cruisers can get cozy spot behind island and farm anyone with an idea of getting close, T8 DDs often outspot T10 brethen, putting them at advantage even. And then there are games like this where you can spank almost entire team into submission with rockets alone

Just because my yesterday's/today night battle of "thoroughly uptiered spotter Shokek" ended with 50k dmg done anyway doesn't mean its any fun. Same with any other T8 CV in T10 game unless enemy bends themselves for buttfluffing without even asking.

T10 never had issue to begin with and unless WG bumps dps by additional 30% or so I don't think they will have. Main victims of the changes are lower tiers, you know, ones WG want you to skip with Free Exp or in case of premium ones, play 3-5 battles, realize they are borderline unplayable (from average player perspective) and have a giggle when you ask for refund

0.8.6 will be a net buff for AA and nerf to planes, simply because instead eating single tick of dps and barely missing 2nd one due to entering mid range squadron will eat 180% dps And no, additional 100hp per plane won't be enough to make carriers popular again

DPS didn't changed, only its distribution. And as much as I'd like more realistic approach to AA, I'm not sure I want to be hamster tasked with calculating all the AA projectiles Montana can spit out

Fiji gunpower already is top notch, simply requires understanding of limitations of her ammo. And for "alpha damage" you have battleships or torpedo destroyers, assuming you can land them metal fishes consistently on target. Cruisers are more of constant dpm variety. That and look up into "damage saturation" mechanic. Its not WoT where you can kill a tank by repeated hits to commander hatch/cupola.

Before REEEwork CV lines used to be complete. WG removed half of them with reasons stated above, but I have odd feeling they did that to simply reduce amount of ships to balance, thus sped up release and then release premium carriers, assets frozen for quite some time. And alternate CVs supposedly will be of "support" variety, which may or may not mean anything - landing floatplanes to cap, smoke laying, dropping sonar buoys were implied IIRC

Logic and "Wargaming adjustments"... you're asking for a lot After divebombing in training room 10 Kebabs with varying speed, altitude, only sound conclusion I can draw is "I need a bigger RNGesus shrine"

Late bomb drops again?

Are you not having fun? On other hand, Shokek best spotting utensil 2019 + glorious autopilot incapable of navigating that got me killed + even more glorious economy in effect 188k spot dmg

Alternatively Shokek or Kexington. No gimmicks for you camrade

Hard mode: Implacable

There are more carriers in this game than Midway and Haku

Which is something I've suggested like 4 months ago... guess where that went

Simple virtue of each ship having different AA. You can balance lets say, Haku vs Minotaur. What with other ships? What with captain and ship upgrades regarding AA? Heck, even when hardcore uptiered in Shokek I can make other team miserable simply by spotting. Won't bring me exp, win't bring me credits but won't bring them exp and credits as well
