In ideal world, tier 5 vs tier 5 would happen. Yet we have what we have - tier 5 vs 7, tier 8 vs 10 on daily basis. And my main gripe is USN midtier BB combination of lack of HE protection and glacial slow speed. Other nations have speed advantage and more often than not, some semblance of HE resistant plating.

And how exactly often tier 5 doesn't see tier 7? While Atlanta, Helena, Belfast and whatnot aren't shining examples of naval protection, they are more than capable of being cause of daily "buff BB" threads.

Lack of speed is not helped by utter lack of HE protection, making them basically free damage to be farmed.

Myokos get turret traverse buff too

Buffing mythical, legendary Missouri is certainly not going to bring extra butthurt /s Though she is plain Iowa with radar tacked to her.

Same here. Nothing interesting, maybe doubloon package, to convert them at later discounted price, or tech tree available premboat sold on Christmas discounts. Or hightier premium paints issues: I already have Missouri and I already run out of ships I'd be interested in, so no reason to spend FXP and credits. Buying T8 premium with current MM is like commiting sudoku, T7 and below? I already have bunch of them, spare port queens not needed. Premium time? I'm done with grinding new ships, so not much to gain there.

Well, AP did to you almost twice the damage per shell than HE... so be careful where you tread.

You can spent pixel coins on another pixel paint. Try doing that other way around

Still, ability to dismiss that red on taskbar would be handy

And you just got banned, just in case

That would give ship niche as ultimate rammer. Which must be balanced by 15kts speed.

Works for me just fine...

Just don't overtake friendly DDs on initial cap rush

CM is one of the few T8 ships I can think of which can live and thrive in T10 MM. Just slap Engine Boost mod and double rudder and channel your inner Kebab onto your enemies. Possible as CM have both workable base top speed and gets proper FR Engine Boost, giving 20% bonus. So you get cruiser capable of 40kts and hard WSAD haxes.

With proliferation of tier 10, with all the premium paints, Legendary modules to grind and whatnot one can't expect to play T8 as top tier.

I have no issues aiming "blind" since introduction of map marker. And Spotter perspective screws aiming for me

You can tack main battery range upgrade for that. And before you get an idea - spotter on top of that is only good for futility exercises. 17s to 22km IIRC

Well, entire derp cannon comes from WoT and refers to short barreled howitzers. Naval guns with barrel length of 40+ calibers, same as "proper" AT guns don't really qualify as derps

Tier 10 have 50% fire chance reduction, so from 4.5% you go to 5.5%. You can argue if its worth 3 points, even more so as its all RNG in the end. I had case of landing about 150 HE shells in Henri IV and still getting only 2 fires. On a ship with 24% fire chance

So far all I've got are Z-23 (meh, as I have anniversary one) and Benson camo.

Destroying ship by shooting the same secondary turret is dumb, just as secondaries/AA mounts soaking damage. Random thought - secondaries/AA do not interact with shell ballistics, so they can't soak up 203/406/whatever shell landing on top of them, but still can be destroyed if caught within HE blast or AP shell passes through them

its also buff to German battleboats in general, as only tier 4 have actual torpedo bulge above waterline. WG and German Bias?

Pretty much. FR cruisers might be more vulnerable to high pen HE hitting armor belt, as situations where shell penetrates 100mm external plating but fails to penetrate inner 40mm citadel plating are rather rare. On other hand, Henri IV with 19mm torp bulge covering outer 140mm plating and then 45mm citadel plating... I wonder if WG can into working as intended here

Why not both? PT, LS, SE, AFT, BFT, DE, SI

Guessing misscalculation on WG part at rate players obtain coal. Bonus points for "dat boat was op on CC previews"
