Secondaries : Cruiser HE power at 10 km or not ?
Panocek replied to Beastofwar's topic in General Discussion
So, you're trying to tell me you did 184k dmg in Musashi with only 34 secondary hits and 53 main gun hits, fires and 4 citadels hits have absolutely nothing to do with it? Thats some quality nuclear warheards -
But 1200m AND 40kts torp speed is. Which gives about 13s from dropped to armed. You still can land them on stationary or sailing straight targets and best, if only use of 4TB is to make sudden wake up for sleepy CVs, where you can chain two drops in a row, but any use of WSAD hax renders 4TB extraordinarily ineffective.

Don't mistake kill stealing with effectiveness -
4TB was OP during 0.8.0, week of the Flying Shima. Then they nerfhammered arming distance AND torp speed. Did I mention attack wing flies on flak level, not under? on 0.8.4 PTS WG tried to revive 4TB, but apparently if you cut down arming distance, then from UP it goes to OP and even removal of dmg reduction from attack mode doesn't make it balans on the spreadsheet... go figure

Its working as intended camrade. Stick and carrot, stick and carrot And then 5k doubloons for premium paint to sustain your new shiny [T10 ship]. And then quit the game because boredom playing T10 or frustation anything lower.
-
Stealth build still remains viable due to 6.1km TB detection. Then feel free to get Haku, get 4TB and post all the kills with "30k alpha stike" But hurry up, its about to be removed from game because its so broken. But not for the reasons you think.

Is there any point upgrading RN planes?
Panocek replied to GulvkluderGuld's topic in General Discussion
And you know Miss now is basically worse-ish Iowa trading useful consumable during Year of the Carrier for radar, kinda overrated thing for a BB and to capitalize upon you need to get 3km+ into your detection range, so if you waltz in "imma gonna hunt sum DDs" you're less likely to get out alive, if that DD has some team support. Island cover is an option, but if DDs finds you and decides to torp rush, you're neck deep in shiet due to how clumsy Iowa class is -
Actually, I'd argue Haku rockets are on better end. Noticeably more accurate than both Midway HVARs and Auda shower, have 30mm pen, so viable against T10 cruisers and each rocket deals more damage than Zao/HIV shell. HVAR selling point is 32mm pen, rendered moot because TiTs have 68mm, making them DB in disguise

ST, Competitive modes, balance and other changes
Panocek replied to Crysantos's topic in Development Blog
I'd agree with that, but then WG balans team have such fine record of releasing "just right" balanced ships, making one wonder what will be their next quack up -

Panocek replied to Crysantos's topic in Development Blog
With buffs its not hard to overdo, so you might end up with "imbalanced" premium, which as you've stated, can't nerf back into shape. Though one heal extra won't/shouldn't make DoY overperforming over KGV, if anything should bring them bit closer, looking at 3rd party (maplesyrup) website with recent EU stats -
7.5km radar with 25/30s duration or 6km hydro with 120/144s duration on other certain DD...

Panocek replied to Crysantos's topic in Development Blog
I agree its overall buff for DoY, but then we're dealing with usual WG inconsistency - "we don't change premiums" and then you can find stuff like that. -
Short duration, short range radar at expense of smoke
-
It was tested on 0.8.4 PTS and then deemed "broken" and thats saying something if it comes from WG 4TB option will be sooner or later removed and players reimbursed

Carriers still there and still being fun police

ST, Competitive modes, balance and other changes
Panocek replied to Crysantos's topic in Development Blog
Last time I've checked, Duke of York isn't in the branch. She is premium sister ship of a silver KGV, just like Belfast-Edinburgh, Bismarck-Tirpitz or to lesser degree, Minekaze-Kamikaze. One of these ships mentioned had secondary fire chance nerfed "due to systematic change", other somehow got omitted from "systematic change" and got badge of mythical OP premium because silver counterpart became garbage. So either premium ships follow balancing changes or they don't. Or state openly premiums can get balance changes and adjust them if necessary. Personally I'm all for adjusting premiums, but then, knowing WG it will lead to deliberately OP premboats "adjusted" three months later. -

Panocek replied to Crysantos's topic in Development Blog
So, if premium ships are no longer exempt from changes, why we don't have nerfed adjusted Belfast, GC, Kamikaze and whatnot in the store already? -

She's Japanese, why have you expect anything else? -
Bismarck class get touched up too. inb4 all those IFHEpitzes were a plan all along CA secondaries from Hipper onward aren't bad, 6 to 8 guns per broadside with 3.4s reload and with buff they would become actually the best secondary suite on a cruiser due to built in 25mm pen. IJN 100mm guns have 24mm, so IFHE is in order to make them pew pew Still, if secondary BBs are gimmick at best, then secondary cruiser would be a turbogimmick Though Cleveland of old, with AFT and Secondary upgrade was top kek in T6 operations

But... But... how I'm supposed to be true sailor without some wonky measurement system?
-
18" is 457mm, so its rather case of creative rounding. Yamato's 460mm are 18.1"
-
And then you discover magic Zao guns, having the same shell weight but with railgun shell velocity
-
Well, its WG after all you should be used to their balans with sledgehammer by now. Considering after 0.8.0.1 hotfix (Flying Shima and AA shift towards dps) there were no substantial damage output nerfs, meaning they are happy with avg dmg. So if pts change gets through and CV start deplaning themselves fast, reducing avg dmg, either WG would buff plane hp to counteract dps or decrease replacement times or increase damage per projectile.

Also since when there are regional ST servers?
