AP bomb penetration rarely is an issue, thickest deck plating you will ever encounter is 200mm + 57mm main deck on Yamato, something that even Shokaku can on good day punch through. Main AP bomb limitation is short fuse time, so bomb doesn't reach citadel What matters for AP bombs is trajectory, as penetration is pretty much not an issue. Dunno about GZ bomb drop pattern, but on IJN you can get bit steeper dive when slowing down. And AFAIK penetration is subtracted for simplicity

Speed Boost is a blast on Richelieu and I assume no less on Justin Bieber. But these don't have "T10 cruiser killer" grade guns with equally top kek AP alpha. Unique? Yes. But I think we had "BB with cruiser accuracy" example before...

TL;DR why you need battlecruiser/large cruiser when Iowa class and its mutation exists

I guess you've forgot BB going (almost) 40kts because memes Besides, any chance of spilling info when Yoshino is coming, besides usual soonTM?

Well, Slava seems to use vodka flavored propellant, pushing these shells up to 870m/s compares to Soyuz 830m/s which might solve issues of lacking penetration

What I'm more surprised, no price inflation Who are you and what have you done to WG

So, cranes skins soon?

inb4 Russians get Moskva CL edition, to justify "TiTs on light cruisers"

Lexi had glorious 0/1/3 for quite some time. And it was quite fun playing cat and mouse with enemy carrier

I've never claimed REEEwork is fine and dandy. But its WG child, so they will make it extra shiny, according to spreadsheets obviously

Considering "concept" is going here to stay, all you can do is to polish this turd until you grind it to dust

I meant AA dps. Besides, if you look at ships as archetypes, they are all similar, with superficial gimmicks to not mistake one for another. Light cruiser - usually lots of quick reloading guns, usually incapable of penetrating other cruiser main belt past 10km but can bury DDs with ordnance. Heavy cruiser - slower reloading and harder hitting guns, able to citadel cruisers at pretty much any range. BB having bigass guns with overmatch and plenty of tankyness.

I wonder if dps could be normalized across ship types, so Mogami would deal as much dps as Cleveland, but then Cleveland would spit out considerably more flaks to evade to keep "AA" flavor and maybe have longer AA range to point out superior guns and whatnot.

You know, wise man once said "don't like it, don't play it". You could extend that to forums as well. Especially when you're sitting on one famous for being ignored when it comes to "user feedback", so no amount of noise here is going to have an impact

A lot of balancing issues would be gone if WG flattened plane hp and AA dps across the tiers. But then, how they would monetize on Free Exp conversion when "all carriers are the same and there is no incentive to move forward"

Even now attacking AA specced T10 cruiser in T8 CV usually ends with uncomfortable casualties. And unlike BB vs DD, besides slingshot and overall wonky game mechanics there is no skill for evading dps.

I guess that "vodka" was distilled from diesel oil with pinch of gasoline for flavor

inb4 El2aZeR consists of 1lvl captain and no upgrades for ultimate CV experience

Bigger question, why you don't have Fiji to start with? Maass is one solid pick for a DD, solid gunpower, torps and quackload of hp but she is bigger than average and as such concealment suffers (6.8km). Which can be detrimental when presumably you would be against Gadjah Mada.

I'm thoroughly convinced Baltimore can park behind island and pew pew with considerable safety. And if you add typical random team, refusing to do spotting then said Baltimore can do so with no option to return fire at all.

WG tried with 0.8.4 PTS (?) to revive 4x option by shortening arming distance and cooldown between attacks, but in return planes get NO dmg reduction whatsoever. Final result was they brought back old Flying Shima, so 4x option will be removed altogether from game.
