  1. Actually, baBBies might get their "OP battleboat dreams"... Once they are limited to reasonable numbers and have appropriately high maintenance costs. Lets say, if tier 9 Fletcher, IRL cost was 6mil$, Iowa was 100mil$ (from wikipedia), then in game Iowa should cost almost two millions of credit per battle

    Test-server Narai

    In case of Narai it involves sending one player southwest and one northeast to intercept transport boats and CV respectively, job perfectly fine for (non IJN) DD. That kind of advanced tictacs might be beyond comprehension of your standard issue Mk1 potato though.

    British Cruisers ??? Whats the point

    Leander is on lackluster side, Fiji is the highlight of the line IMO - 12 gun salvo at tier 7 with usual Brit perks - tea, crumpets and pudding smoke, heal and (mostly) friendly MM for T7 ships. Odinburger is solid ship, but suffers from T8 MM. Neptune gives you glimpse of what is dakka, but also suffers from overexposed citadel and the worst concealment on entire line. Minotaur is embodiment of dakka though, while having excellent camo to boot.

    Donskoi and Moskva upgrades - poll

    Donskoi needs range early game, but once ships thin down, you usually get within 17km anyway so you want extra dakka. Moskva gets enough range to make range upgrade pointless... And I don't think bit more accuracy on already accurate-ish cruiser will outshine that extra second on reload.
  5. Not mentioning getting them for free. If you stack up Free Exp flags/paints it accumulates rather fast.

  7. Personally I find Richie to be fine battlecruiser - so you carry nice guns, but don't rely on armor. With Engine Boost she handles almost like a cruiser, so you tend to avoid prolonged abuse. Bow tanking is valid tactic, but then turrets are just as valid target and knocking them off with BB guns is more than possible.

    How's Khaba these days?

    For what? You won't be even close camo wise to other DDs, times of stealth firing or 10km torps are long gone and your rudder shift is at best comparable to cruiser. Big one at that

    Vigilance ?

    Angling against torps doesn't work, if you want to take torpedo, take it on the bow/stern. Yes, it will be guaranteed flooding so keep R ready, but bow/stern sections have less hp, so despite lack of torpedo protection you might receive less damage due to dmg saturation. And that damage will be healable unlike amidship hit into torpedo belt, which count as citadel damage.

    Quetion on shells and citadels

    Yes, AP shells can overpen citadels. Thats why thin skinned (and narrow) ships tend to withstand hilarious abuse at short range broadside, but if they angle (but not enough to ricochet shells) they get rekt

    fix some bug

    Myoko/Mogami firing arcs are already on crap side, ballistics are okay at best. Now question is, buff a little IJN boats or nerf newer/updated cruisers to match them Or reshuffle them a bit akin to Freedom kruzers. Myoko at tier 6, Mogami at tier 7, Takao class at tier 8 and *something better than Ibuki* at tier 9. But if Pensa stretches out tier 6 a bit, Myoko with all the extra hp/torps/armor might be too much. But then, lack of American Piercing and crappy firing angles compared to Pepsi... Who knows.

    Try your luck Supercontainers

    I've noticed SC tend to happen after taking a break, as active playing and getting crates daily usually nets me no supercrates. Not that I b!tch and moan, because every SC I get is like 25-50 flags of dubious value, so I actually prefer regular Signal crates.

    German BBs

    Most battleboats except German ones use more or less all or nothing armor scheme. So you have main armor belt, turrets, conning tower that have actual armor, rest is paper thin, so even DD guns can rake them with AP for considerable damage. German all around plating gives immunity to DD guns and even CA AP have hard time punching through outside "too close and too personal". Superstructure is universal target on all battleships, so its not "German weakness" here.

    Salem camo info arsenal

    Even if Salem has regular T10 income multiplier, stacked with T10 paint and her extra reduced maintenance costs she already should earn decent buck.

    Moskva After Update

    Extra armor certainly makes Moskva hilarious, and frankly I see little reason for Kron/Stalingrad - Moskva already can overpen cruiser citadels, bigger faster shells aren't really needed here. Okay, she can't pierce BB main armor past 10km reliably, but then you can sling HE at double rate of that in Kron/Stalin, 9s reload also doesn't hurt when it comes to ammo switching.

    Decision - assistance required!

    Personally I run Moskva captain in Okt.Rev and Nikolai, that is PT, EM, SI, CE, AFT, BoS, AR, it certainly works. Arpeggio Kongo sistersand 5 IJN CA trainers as well

    Decision - assistance required!

    If you want Yamato class, get proper Yamato herself and if you need extra credits, buy premium paint for her. Kron is certainly unique and she seems to have good compatibility with Moskva build, not so much with tier 5-9. Then there is rumor about "upcoming" Alaska class battlecruisers, you might want to wait a bit and see how that will work out. If you need heavy duty credit printer, I'd look more about ship gameplay if it fits you - I've managed to get Missouri just before her removal, and while she prints plenty of credits, she isn't the most thrilling boat to row around, to the point she's relegated to port decoration while Atlanta gets all the work

    Except Moskau takes that to whole new level

    Moskva After Update

    Don't forget totally not sticking out citadel, Moskva when caught broadside evaporates even faster than Minotaur
