    Azuma coming in 0.8.2

    Panocek replied to thiextar's topic in General Discussion

    Well, meme got real. Except this time we've got shafted premium clone of a premium ship, Yoshino
  2. Panocek
    Gaede gets by simply because of opposition not having as obscene dps advantage (maybe Farragut, but then that boat is disturbingly flimsy). And IJN DDs since gun buffs are surprisingly competent at shooting back especially when in their natural habitat ie kiting. That said, I had some quality time in Z-23 and I've kept her for occasional spin, just be mindful you'd be fighting much tougher opposition in less than optimal ship for the task. Or to put it other way - instead ship carrying you with gimmick stats, you will have to carry the ship
  3. Panocek
    TL;DR no. Long answer - after Maass you will get acquainted with Z-23, which is... acquired taste I'd say. Reasons: -6.1km detection, which is beaten only by Kiev in outspotted department -you're outgunned by a friggin Kagero -15cm AP have only modest range advantage when it comes to citadeling broadside cruisers. You can on other hand tack IFHE for 32mm armor breakpoint, so you can disturb overconfident cruisers (unlike Akizuki which will straight up brutalize them) -torps are... okay. Fast and quick reloading as usual, but lack of Alpha damage starts to hurt badly Z-46 was okay, but then you're expected to be equal with Fletcher which... doesn't end well. Z-52 at least have BS hydro range

    -"OP Midway touched me for 61k dmg" -AP shells sent your way did more damage than that, while your "underpowered" boat totally not having that one flaw for "balancing" rest of OP stats farmed over 150k received dmg and only "almost" 3mil potential anyway, succumbing after 12mins of thorough bashing. Yep, Buff BB pls and when we're at it, nerf anything that touches them

    DM Donsquoi armor issue

    Panocek replied to Ronin_Cahill's topic in General Discussion

    "light" in light cruiser refers to guns up to 155mm, which is already stretching definition in Donskoi case. Armor is fine, 100mm plating, typical for a cruiser is within DD AP penetration THAT close and isn't going to stop any heavy cruiser guns unless extremely far or VERY well angled. If you can't deal with that, maybe battleships are up your alley? inb4 "can't hit crap" topic

    HMS Audacious

    Panocek replied to Horin728's topic in General Discussion

    Well, if squadron hp is the same as other CVs but planes are slower, then obviously they will spend more time within AA, thus take more damage. Which doesn't compute well with from what I see above average replenishment times

    HMS Audacious

    Panocek replied to Horin728's topic in General Discussion

    I don't see anything wrong with IJN, unless you expect USN grade divebombers versatility. Dunno about Hosho, but expect her to be a Nap Simulator 2019, Ryujo is IMO best of the three CVs for operations due to the best TB and AP bombs brutalize all battleships you encounter (well, except Izumo in Newport) and with pinch of practice, most cruisers as well. Shokek since TB buffs I find to be a keeper, though AP bombers could use penetration buff as you can't citadel BBs reliably unless its German and NC. That and standard issue, Tier 8 Matchmaking mk.1 rears its ugly head. Haku is ultimate capital ship molester and rockets actually do a thing, but suffer from long arming distance. So much for my idea of getting Implantable due to permacamo
  10. Panocek
    From wiki, though tad ancient http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Gunnery_%26_Armor_Penetration#Armor-Piercing wowsft.com and gamemodels3d also confirm 1/6 rule for AP
  11. Panocek
    Usually you need 1/6 of shell caliber to arm the fuse. So +-33mm effective armor should be enough for 203mm
  12. Panocek
    still waiting for Lexi to happen
  13. Panocek
    Guessing they will be on board and in control of their own ships akin do Arpeggio of Blue Steel with some sort of "ultimate" form, assembling themselves into shipgrills.

    Never got hooked into Witcher 3, played it a bit, found it meh. Books on other hand

    How do you use a 4 km torpedo range DD ?

    Panocek replied to Beastofwar's topic in General Discussion

    Q: How to use 4km torps on Russian destroyer? A: You don't. You have one of the best guns for a reason.
  16. Panocek
    Considering you can citpen loltier brit cruisers with rockets, its not exactly rocket science to do so with HEbombs

    NANI? KANSAI DORIFTO?!

    Panocek replied to El2aZeR's topic in General Discussion

    Lagspikes. Plane behavior gets... interesting on packet losses.
  18. Panocek
    Obviously, three veteran tier 8 players bully newcomer to tier 10, playing his 400th battle in [T10 ship], who is making good progress as he understood concept of left mouse button and clearly need to spend more time in his tier 10, but without organized opposition to (ab)use his novice errors
  19. Panocek
    One reason would be to to shorten queue times instead waiting for another 22 players with fitting boats to arrive which may or may not take a while outside of prime time. Thus, if not enough non CV players within MM bracket to create two separate battles, flush those four carriers down the drain and be done with them.
  20. Panocek
    Are you literally asking for open beta MM with 1v0 CV games? Guessing there are about 50% CV free games not because evul Wankgamings is of nerfings muchos carrieros, but there isn't enough CV players in the queue to fill EVERY battle, while there are spikes of CV population which may backfire when 1v1 CV rule is enforced
  21. Panocek
    Going with @Alelos stats, no idea if are true or not. Just for presentation: ~51% of battles without carriers ~40% of battles with 1v1 CV ~8% of battles with 2v2 CV ~1% being working as intended? If you go CV yourself, you exclude yourself from 51% battles. So in simplest terms, 8/10 battles are going to be 1v1 CV while 2/10 are going to be extra salty double CV. So yeah, playing carrier can increase chances of seeing double carrier games, because, well, you're part of the problem
  22. Panocek
    I don't see your "double-carrier-free" I might be not drunk enough to compute WG inner logiks, but consensus is rather clear, you can't enter CV-free games when playing CV yourself because, well, if you do, they cease to be CV free and MM puts another CV against you for symmetry.
  23. Panocek
    Rather it would be hard to see carrier-free game when playing CV yourself

    Yoshino 310mm Shell Weight?

    Panocek replied to ___V_E_N_O_M___'s topic in General Discussion

    Inb4 nerf Furutaka for using tier 9 guns

    Azuma coming in 0.8.2

    Panocek replied to thiextar's topic in General Discussion

    Kron Citadel is actually very low in the water, while overmatch pens you can to an extent soak up with totally balanced hp pool. Azuma, not so much.
