    It wasn't stated you will find Belfast Portable in mailbox, so she might just be unlocked in construction. So somewhere between 3rd Sandy and 4th Belfast proper

    WTF Yamato! Help me with this ship please!

    Panocek replied to hamed_pour's topic in General Discussion

    Yes and no. 57mm central deck stops most non BB sized HE sent her way, 50mm deck extremities everything but ze German CA, battlecruisers and IFHEnri, but 32mm upper hull, bow and stern soaks everything.
  4. Panocek
    Assuming 1/6 rule you would need 361mm+ or 14.2" guns, thats larger than Fuso or midtier dreadnoughts in general. IFHEndenburg meta soon? Or 3rd RU battlecruiser, Kron sister or somesuch with 1/5 HE pen for balans reasons

    HVARs have potential to be better than TiTs, but, and that is one helluva big afro american butt: -drop pattern is horizontal, so you need to approach target from broadside -arming time can be measured in Cleveland's shells flight time at 20km its standard 4s, but combined with US fighters speed, that makes about 4km "ready to drop" distance combine both and you will have hard time dropping them rockets on DDs who mastered location of P key. TiTs on other hand, have shorter aim time and drop pattern is longitudinal, so approach from the bow/stern. Latter thing alone enables you to get behind randomly found DD and get more time for aiming and plant more rockets than you usually would with HVARs Add to that 68mm HE pen, which makes TiT viable weapon against pretty much anything you can meet in game. Did I mention BB grade damage and fire chance per rocket?

    Panocek replied to anonym_RGvUdEcxWWvD's topic in General Discussion

    Brits, Croissants and US dreadnoughts are mostly immune to cits from above due to distance between deck and citadel itself. So nerf to fuse delay would be in order, so bombs can actually reach them before going poof but... but... 2CVs every gaem US are "OP" simply because their gimmick if versatility. TiTs with 68mm HE pen can damage pretty much everyone except T10 CV armored deck, same with HE bombs (bonus points for brutalizing DDs) while torps are usable even if tertiary option.

    Stealth spotting Minotaurs/Woosters for extra keks and lolAPing cruisers. Rockets could see some thorough buffs because they are... speschul. Her TB are perfectly fine and easy to plant due to fish speed and damage per fish remains the highest, so in case of surface peasant not being alergic to WSAD, single hit is still going to be the highest. For 100% hit rate Kexington still remains better, but for that you need to have AFK or otherwise beached DD/cruiser. Or a baBBy. Still, it takes extraordinary uptiering to make her struggle IMO due to her strike plane speed. Lexi is fine most of the time, while Implacable is autistic even when top tier ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Panocek replied to hamed_pour's topic in General Discussion

    Well, Yamato have at glance weak AA. But her short range is more than able to rekt returning planes, so you might deplane CV having a hard on for you... eventually

    USS Lexington, vs USS Enterprise......

    Panocek replied to Hopeless_Guppy's topic in General Discussion

    The one you get most familiar with. Except she packs FFARs with only 27mm HE pen. Lady Lex and Midway runs HVARs with 32mm HE pen, which are again rendered moot because TiTs

    Panocek replied to Hopeless_Guppy's topic in General Discussion

    Lexi is perfectly fine, if not straight up golden standard of T8 CV with Enty trading blows with her. HVAR and TiT options, the best aerial torps of entire US line and 6x 1000lb samples of freedom.

    How is concealment rated on CVs?

    Panocek replied to Bics93's topic in General Discussion

    Its not about challenge, its about leveling your futility Though if you embrace inability to kill DDs reliably carry games, she is more than fine actually
  15. Panocek
    its safe to say you've returned just in time to witness Year of the CVTM Other than that... rise of battlecruisers, BB sized AP no longer deals full pens on DDs with exception of Harugumo (Akizuki 2xl) and Kebab.

    IJN Atago Capt and Module Build - Confused

    Panocek replied to OddityNZ's topic in Cruisers

    BFT makes more sense on Zao, though she relies on DFAA to get plane kills anyway. Also as BFT is %based, 0 multiplied by 1.1 is still 0 JoaT and IFA are okay choices if you have points to spare, regardless of what you throw. Though if you tend to avoid taking damage, quicker cooldown from JoaT might prove useless

    Full stealth build worth it on IJN CVs?

    Panocek replied to VC381's topic in Aircraft Carriers

    Prime question: why torp a cruiser if you can APbomb him?
  18. Panocek
    Alternate hull with Kaga style complement of 109T and Ju 87 would work... sort of. And maybe Rocket-AP bomb-HE bomb loadout because gimmicks

    Panocek replied to VC381's topic in Aircraft Carriers

    And even then with full slowdown dispersion can get good enough unless you're too close for fuses to arm. Reticle for TBs isn't quite indicative of actual dispersion as I've had quite a few cases of reticle not fully settled during haphazard close turnaround and yet, fishes went straight

    Panocek replied to VC381's topic in Aircraft Carriers

    I don't think Stab.Sight cuts down preparation time, just actual aiming/zeroing in. And I rarely start drops at short-ish range, usually around 6-7km from target so plenty of time for dispersion to settle even with minute adjustments

    Some more CV stuff

    Panocek replied to El2aZeR's topic in General Discussion

    Well, its rather clearly visible, unless icon gets stuck in place planes are still returning, so if you happen to have keen eye (and 4k screen) you might notice black unmarked dots coming you way and magically restoring amount of planes on deck Screencaps
  22. Panocek
    That much I've noticed

    Panocek replied to El2aZeR's topic in General Discussion

    If you F almost instantly after LMB to drop then planes don't get boosted or at least I had cases of such glorious working as intended. But if you wait that 1s or so, confirmed by speed gain on minimap then boost apply. @Blixies just shove yourself into training room and see what works for you

    I assume there are no free gems from obtaining premium store seller?
  25. Panocek
    On Lexi you want Dive Bombers first. Nothing says Freedom like 100% more bombs on target technically on Lady Lex you triple bomb load, as you go from 2x1 to 3x2 samples of Freedom
