Secondaries are mostly useful as fire starters and HEspammers against yolo destroyers, as AP firing secondaries are in most cases even worse than HE ones

Forcing all the mlg360noscopers to use bolt action rifles, that would be sight to see, while dying from boredom "are we there yet" when driving tonk.

While SuperFreedom shells on Des Moines/upgraded Baltimore have improved penetration, its mostly negated by steeper trajectory. Below 10km these shells can citadel thinner skinned battleships in broadside though.

Don't forget EU forums are for ignored people, as WGEU certainly doesn't care.

So all IJN BB from Kongo onwards that used main battery accuracy upgrade gets buffed, because they get small bonus for secondaries. Midtier USN BB that can make use of main battery range upgrade gets small secondaries buff too, but that upgrade becomes useless on North Carolina/Iowa/Monty, unless you want to pew pew from 25km+ distances. "Ermagad USN gets 11% accuracy upgrade Freedom Bias" - but IJN having accuracy upgrade, costing mere 500k credits, from tier 5 onwards on top of dispersion AND range AND speed AND hp advantage is balanced? With these changes only "nerf" applies to midtier Battleships that were set up for secondaries, from which only Nagato was viable. Everyone who focused on main battery performance gets small bonuses for secondaries. My only complaint about these changes is they fail at what they are supposed to do - diversify ship builds. For IJN BB there is no point in mounting anything else than main battery accuracy, while for 3rd slot you can freely go for secondaries RoF/range/accuracy, because its the least pointless upgrade. AA dps? On IJN? Not convinced. Main battery range? Kek. Main battery RoF? Worth a thought I guess, but turret traverse on Yamato is already bad. USN BBs are forced to use main battery range until tier 8 to be able to at least return fire, while from NC onwards only sound upgrade for 2nd slot is AA range. 3rd slot will be dominated by main battery accuracy.

Creating copy/paste ship with fancy neons on top is different than starting event with old ships available. And for that you're I'm afraid limited to WGEU "mercy".

WG always can tone down rate of fire. I'm not familiar with Tea powered DDs, but even if every design packs 4x2 102mm, then WG always can reduce RoF to 12-15/min.

Tier 9 in general are very expensive to upgrade and set up, ship itself and hull/cannon/gun control/torpedo upgrades often cost more than tier 10 ship. Add to that 7 millions worth of upgrades for all 6 slots and here you go, nice moneysink. And if you stack Baltimore on top of that, which is very mediocre ship to start with, butthurt or other rage is guaranteed. Oh, if you don't like upgraded Baltimore cannons (with superheavy AP shells), don't progress towards Des Moines - she uses the same guns with the same slow shell velocity, only quantity of shells changes.

bow/stern/midships/superstructure still apply. And I guess you hit Sims bow with torps.

Ship section hp got depleted, that way you can tank all the torps. The same way you can't just keep molesting BB superstructure, eventually there will be no superstructure to pew pew at.

Concealment you scrub... Though at 5 points its expensive, as Błyskotka certainly can enjoy BFT and EM skills, without these she feels kinda meh.

And why play Błyskawica when I have Udaloi? add some stronk musics for extra glorious and here you go

Club harder Błyskawica with DE is 10/10 would barbeque again, but lack of range at times is disturbing...

More purple than Kongo...

Unfair plane.

USN upgrade have 5% too, unless you count tier 9+ secondary upgrade for 3mil, which boosts reload, range and accuracy. Which is available for IJN too.

When angled IJN battleships are tough bricks too... Even supposed battlecruiser can shrug off some shells

Yep, not crippling speed and more hp are totally irrelevant

Sigh. No one knows if its working as intended or just random screwup

So you basically have to research wheel anew... reminds me of War Thunder, where you were researching the same ammunition for the same cannons all the time on new vehicles. Granted, in WoWs only shared modules were torpedoes but still, by going IJN CA line first you could unlock few torpedo upgrades for destroyers, also RU and USN DDs had torps unlocked by researching next ship, which was a way to save exp otherwise wasted on pointless at times "upgrades".

Soon™

I wonder if WG will allow 20% bonus for 2nd and 3rd secondary upgrades. If I do my math right then in such set up Yamato will have 12.7km secondary range Because 9.5km on Iowa I still find useless, but then Iowa with 11% accuracy upgrade feels almost like cruiser
