Pensacola and New Orleans are fine where they are, it's Cleveland the problem. She can easily stay at tier VIII with Brooklyn at VII(confirmed) and a preliminary study of Brooklyn at VI(personal assumption). They would be a CL mini branch parallel to the CA mini branch currently present from tier VII up which is fine. The only real problem of that branch is Des Moine

Cleveland is misplaced, doesn't mean the fact that the others are OP. Besides that's the theoretical maximum damage which is quite difficult to achieve considering the shells have to penetrate.

Cleveland and Pensacola why not switch their place in the techtree?

It would be nice to play with her but it's quite difficult to define her. Even when they were built it wasn't clear what she and her sister Guam were supposed to do. Most likely they'll be more or less protected as Baltimore with just one turret more, then again i'm sure WG can find more data on them if they are willing to do the swap. The problem is: will people like the change? Because DM is pretty much the symbol of OPness and people tend to love such things. We'll see anyway -

The problem of Alaska is that she's neither a cruiser nor a proper capital ship, they are something in between. Besides as far as i recall WG doesn't want Alaska to be the tier X cruiser when people proposed her as such. Anyway between those designs this and this are more probable taking into account what WG said regarding Alaska. -

I haven't said cruisers should deal 0 damage to BBs but the damage shouldn't be too severe. It would require further testing but, as it is right now, a cruiser firing HE can do quite a lot of damage, also thanks to the insanely high chance of starting a fire. Surely a cruiser shouldn't be able to sink a full HP BB on her own, unless the BB is retard and you have a lot of time. -

I'm not saying it's impossible, i just said you will most likely die unless the other guy is really bad. Cruisers main targets are other cruisers, destroyers and, if in range, carriers. Battleships should have the lowest priority for them. Besides multiple cruisers ingame can be a threat to a battleship and if you face a BB alone in a cruiser in a strait up fight you really want to die. -

With torpedoes perhaps, with guns alone no. Besides closing in to a battleship with a cruiser is borderline suicide since it's already quite complicated to achieve with destroyers -

HE shouldn't even deal damage to battleships, at least critical damage. HE would be useful at destroying AAA and secondary armament, nothing more. Besides in a 1 vs 1 a cruiser should always use against a battleship, at least considering guns alone. Destroyers and carriers can deal with battleships more effectively -

There were studies of a "improved Baltimore" with four turrets instead of three. As far as i know that design was dropped when the USN decided to developed Des Moine. I have very little information about this particular project but she would have a smaller jump in performance compared to now since Des Moine fires much faster(and Baltimore had to be buffed in terms of RoF). Regarding the other cruisers Northampton is a tier VII since the differences with Pensacola are marginal while Portland and Wichita are more complicated. They are an improvement over older designs(Northampton and New Orleans respectively) but they can't compete with what came after(New Orleans and Baltimore respectively). Then again that's just my own opinion. The issue is that a Des Moine alone has the same firepower of two and a half Baltimores. Sure Baltimore got a RoF buff this patch but compared to the huge advantage DM has is marginal. Moreover DM outguns every single heavy cruiser ever developed hence balancing her with her peers would be an impossible task since the only way would be to fictionally create a counterpart(WG tried that originally with Zao/Senjo and failed horribly). -

Stock has a RoF of 6, upgraded 7.5. Both fall quite short from her historical RoF of 10 rpm. -

She has to get her AA un-nerfed, that's for sure. Regarding the rest we'll see -

New Orleans would stay where she is, she is fine at tier VIII. -

You can bump up Cleveland to tier VIII when she get joined by Brooklyn and Worchester. At tier VI you can add a preliminary design of Brooklyn with 8x6" guns, more comparable to other CLs which are known to be at that tier without messing up the CA line which would remain as is(with only Des Moine creating serious issues). -

Deamon93 replied to mr3awsome's topic in General Discussion
They both have the identical amount of guns and identical caliber but Iowa outclasses Nelson in that regard by far, as you can see by yourself: -16/50 Mk 7: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_16-50_mk7.htm -16/45 Mark I: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_16-45_mk1.htm The ship doesn't have to be implemented to say that it would be outclassed. Nelson has a lot of disadvantages which make her unfit to stay there, simple as that. -

Nelson can't compete at tier IX, no way. -

Long reload time? Only the smaller caliber guns and the autoloading 8" guns of Des Moine can fire faster. You just need to adapt to her style. Pensacola can be very rewarding if you treat her well -

Pensacola had torpedoes originally but, as i said, they were removed before WWII began. Anyway: -Washington Treaty cruisers were all lightly armored, Pensacola is no different -Pensacola isn't as mobile as Trento but she's good enough -Low dpm? Compared to Cleveland sure but she's out of place so you shouldn't count her. Compared to WT cruisers she's comparable if not superior -She is supposed to fight cruisers and destroyers. Until the faster cruisers show up she can get the job done. -Japanese torpedoes =/= US ones. -
Mogami Tier 8 IJN Cruiser Guns Question
Deamon93 replied to Jadefalken's topic in Newcomers' Section
The range is set by the FCS, the guns don't influence it. Between the two guns i haven't played with Mogami lately so i can't say which one is better between the two. -

-No armor? Check Duquesne and then you'll see the concept of "no armor" -No awsome mobility? Well she isn't a Trento-class but she's fine enough -Bad firepower? Pensacola has a powerful, if not the most powerful, primary armament of her peers. -No torps? Torpedoes were removed even before WWII began, that says something -Like a battleship? How is Pensacola supposed to be like that? That's totally different. -

Having the Washington Treaty cruisers at tier VI would be a mistake. The only ones which can stay are Aoba, which have 6x8" guns, and Duquesne, which is literally unarmored for a cruiser. There will be more than two cruiser lines in the future and the fate of most of them rely on how WG would handle the US one in the critical aspects(Cleveland, Des Moine and, although not as critical, St.Louis). -

Deamon93 replied to Wischmob_von_Eimer's topic in Archive
Pensacola and Northampton are fairly similar, besides Pensacola at tier VI would be too powerful. Regarding the light cruisers it would be better to put a preliminary Brooklyn at tier VI with Brooklyn at VII and Cleveland at VIII(without the current nerfs). -
The problem of Des Moine is that she has 8" guns which fire as fast as a fast firing 6" gun(only the gun on Worchester and the British autoloading 6" gun). I haven't seen her in action after this patch but balancing her is pretty much impossible because there are no cruisers which can match her firepower.

Proposal ship - battleship Tegetthoff the K u K Navy
Deamon93 replied to Admiral_Tegetthoff's topic in General Discussion
Tegetthoff was used to shoot a film before being scrapped(i don't recall the name though, it was about what happened to Szent Istvàn). In any case it makes more logical sense since both ships were given to them while the Germans have only diplomatic reasons. Besides there are already war prizes in the possible premium list(Giulio Cesare and Duca d'Aosta for the Russians as examples) so it would make sense. Anyway since there are seven trees before that it will take quite some time to see it, if it comes of course. -

Deamon93 replied to Admiral_Tegetthoff's topic in General Discussion
Why on the German tree? The trees in which it makes more sense are the Italian or French since they got respectively Tegetthoff and Prinz Eugen as war prizes. In any say we'll see since they may eventually show up in the "minor" nations tree but surely after they add all the other trees.
