Except when significant part of playerbase is outright bad or merely "refuses to care about teamplay aspects", even Buddha levels of patience will eventually run dry Tutorials will have minimal, if any impact, as those willing to learn can find their way to uncle google, aunt youtube or forums already. Putting skill barrier will only reduce WG income, so sooner I'll buy all the premiums than WG does that

And purples like Sharnies are myth Though I've got all the bunnies and then some when farming 3-2 for Helldivers and single 5"

152mm with usual 1/6 HE pen is about as (in)effective as 128mm guns Unless we're talking about German 15cm guns used as PewPewKanones on their battleboats

Not even WG can balance stupid. Kongo have decent HE resistance on amidship, but actual armor thickness doesn't really stop CA sized munitions. Dunno about Hood and sure as hell Amagi class don't mix well with HE

If you're disappointed with 380mm guns, how you would play lower tiers, armed with 305-350mm peashooters? If you look at armor layouts, BB main armor belts and turrets actually doesn't improve that much across the tiers Where you are right however is 380mm guns interaction with USN/Ger heavy cruisers, which on hightiers got 27mm plating, thick enough to avoid overmatch from 380mm guns, simply to make them tad more durable. 400mm+ guns goes through that just fine, but then tier 10 almost universally have 30mm plating just for sake of ricocheting 406-420mm projectiles. Thats why WG newest BB additions have 431-457mm guns to deal with that, so circle of power creep can continue. And Croissant BBs I'd actually call battlecruisers - their armor plating (on high tiers) doesn't stand up to HE blasting from cruisers while they have pretty good speed, compounded by Engine Boost found on tier 8+. And then you have Lyon, 16gun meme proving quantity is quality on its own

Yep, if I remember schedule they were expected to be released after RU battleboats... which are in game already

Improved Expert Marksman AND Adrenaline Rush are too good to pass up on anything with gun turrets, unless they turn fast enough to start with.

One was obtainable via mission chain Collection tied to FR BB release back in the day, another is in Armory/Arsenal. Though standard captain with regular EM gets the job done on Aigle, Hodore captain and his improved EM is very welcome on Henri IV to counteract lacking turret traverse AND penalty induced by reload upgrade.

If WG would tone down on DoT survivability it would bring back CV sniping. Something that we used to have and it wasn't fun, both for receiving CV and its team afterwards.

Solid multipurpose destroyer. 5 hard hitting and surprisingly quick reloading guns, obscene amount of hp, torps brutal in damage but few in numbers and rather slow. Main issues I can think of are mediocre concealment, slow shell velocity making long range shelling against agile targets a quite good frustration exercise and crappy firing arcs, you need to show A LOT of broadside to make use of all the guns. That and you need Expert Marksman to cope with turret traverse. One of the best T6 DDs for Operations due to hp/guns combo IMO.

Its not like you can't fix that issue with whole single signal flag...

If only WG put bit more effort in balancing lets say, Belfast or Musashi instead making them over the top and then pull them from sale "because overperforming"... On other hand, these ships can be obtained from Christmas loot crates and nothing says "spending" like carrot in shape of mythical OP premium

I guess WG wanted to kill two birds with single stone - make CVs more popular and nerf those pesky unicums sneaking, capping and otherwise disturbing baBBies in their bow campfests Also, term "AA powerhouse" kinda lost its meaning, when every new ship get bigger and better AA.

Well, Elrazor refered to Enterprise which IIRC can citadel with her AP bombs and BB perfectly fills entire bomb crosshair, so 6/6 cits should be doable. Still, case of fighting broken with broken ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enterprise

Until wild Hipper appears

You see camrade, balans is achieved when you fight broken with broken

If you would only bother checking what kind of planes you actually shot down... Ryujo starts with 30 planes on deck, can recover additional up to 47 strike planes and can throw 27 CAP fighters. 104 absolute maximum you can squeeze from Ryujo. Ranger starts with 32 planes on deck, can recover additional up to 50 strike planes and car throw 27 CAP fighters. 109 absolute maximum you can squeeze from Ranger. If both CVs provided 134 planes to the grinder and still had strike squadrons, its clear they thrown in CAPs for spotting Fun fact, amount of planes you can throw with CV doesn't really change with tiers up (Ranger: 82 strike planes, 86 on Midway), not counting CAPs, which get extra fat at tier 10 Also: Planes lost: 134

If you would only bother checking what kind of planes you actually shot down...

Ranger: 76 normal loadout, up to 86 if needed Midway RTS had 136 planes in hangar, some time later nerfed to 116. Current Midway have by default 14+14+18 planes and can recover up to 14 additional RF, 12 TB and 15 DB. That gives up 87 planes total, assuming battle dragging on full 20min and Midway keep losing planes so regeneration doesn't stop. Not counting summonable CAP fighters, of which every CV have between 27 and 63 + additional 16 CV own CAP

WG is not (yet) brave enough to directly monetize upon T10 premiums, so all these hightier premiums they can monetize indirectly. Premium account sales to sped up Daily Crates as well progress to T10 ships, needed for CB/Rankeds, where you may or may not obtain whatever currency you need for T9/T10 ship of choice. That and precedent of selling Steel campaigns, as well snowflakes favoring those who acquired dock chock full of ships, preferably hightier ones

Well, WoT premium ammo change is so double sided sword it hurts WG *lowers premium ammo damage* playerbase *happy* playerbase *wait a minute, so I need 10 gold rounds instead 7 to kill that bugger?* WG *more premium tank/account sales* playerbase *reee*

You mean THE contribution WG is notorious to ignore, even more so if its on EU forum?

Moosashi had 750k FXP tag, just like Kron and Missouri. WG tried to push Moosashi for 1mil IIRC, but noise from playerbase was considerable at the time so WG backed down.
