I think, Im not too far off dmg-wise (never was lowtier in that ship tho). Still I find it extremely infuriatig not hitting an Atlanta at 12km in multiple salvos (and I didnt mess up lead-wise).

But the ellipse is way smaller, right? right?

I havent checked the stats, but if the T8 is a Roma clone with SAP, I could make it work. But I assume thats not the case...

So its basically another Free-XP to T10 Line?

I know... it just baffeled my mind (again) since I havent played T7 for quite some time. Which ship do you mean? Sinop or Cara? They both have "problems with the guns"... just on the opposite spectrum in terms of performance.

Looks bad, huh? Guess what? +2 Stars.

You wanna know why I tend to play DD in ranked? Bcs most BBs act like clueless puppies! Giving up sector control, hiding, camping behind the spawn, Yoloing in... etc. No wonder ppl pick DDs desperately trying compensate for your clueless play. From my experice you find one good BB player in 5 Matches of ranked. Its such a cheap and easy and lazy class to play: Stay back and go shooty shoot and blame the team for no spotting and the loss of mapcontrol. Pathetic... like the initial post.

Persönlich glaube ich, dass WG ihre Spielerschaft verachtet. Irgendwie kann ich es verstehen: Wozu sich die Mühe machen Tutorials (sinnig!) zu implementieren, wenn das Gros gar nicht lernen will? Aber es zeigt sich ja auch in der simplen Gestaltung der AA die einfach nur binär ist. Mehr als einen Knopf drücken überlastet das Gehirn der meisten Spieler (laut WG)... Echte manuelle Sekundärbewaffnung? Die gleiche Überforderung. Ich frag mich nur warum WG mit Hybriden experimentiert... überfordern die nicht?

IEarlGrey hatte die Antwort schon vor einem knappen Jahr recht gut gegeben: Gameplay selbst hat und wird sich hinsichtlich Maps, Modi, XP-Income nicht mehr ändern und bleibt so rudimentär wie es ist, da es "ausreichend" ist. Ausreichend für die, die sich 1-2 Linien hochgrinden und dann das Spiel deinstallieren (und mit Glück dabei Geld gelassen haben). Denn das ist immer noch das "Ziel-klientel" für WG. Wozu also an irgendwas rumschrauben, dass die meisten Spieler eh gar nicht wahrnehmen (werden)? Insofern: Es ändert sich nix. Friss oder Deinstall.

WG is too silent about subs... that worries me.

Are there any other relevant skills besides "Deadeye" and "Concealment expert"? Just take those 2 (14 Pt Captain should suffice) and you are good to go. Enjoy! I did one Battle in that ship, got 99k Dmg and was happy. Seems strong.

You obviously dont live in Hamburg or Kiel...

Flamu wants some cheap likes?

You can play Alaska. According to WoWs Stats you dont have Georgia, so why the fuzz?

Dann bleibt es aber weiterhin bei der Georgia + Musashi Lineup in den meisten Fällen. Beide Schiffe sind eh Gift wegen ihrem Kaliber.

We dont want more balancing from WG. Belive me.

Stop doing a scattershot rant and stay at the topic! 1. You can still play your ships in random and coop and they didnt got shafted like Flint. 2. Community wished for it last season, since there were about 5 viable ships. 3. Did you really buy your Alaska/Musashi/Georgia for the SOLE REASON THAT THERE MIGHT BE A T9 SEASON???? I doubt that. 4. Cant you just see that those ships are making the CW Meta stale and boring? Btw. You only have one ship that got banned. You have 9 others. The one that got banned... maybe you shouldnt drive it anyways?

Als BB ist deine einzige Chance eine Derpits oder Odin zu nehmen und zu hoffen, dass deine Torps besser und schneller treffen. Ich bin daher meine Keilereien mit Terrible gefahren

Your missing a factor: Ships that are "balanced" for 12v12 are not "balanced" for 7v7... Musashi has always been the worst offender here. And I really dont care, if I can play Alaska or Georgia (I have them both) or not. Since its becoming f´ing boring to see the same lineups over and over again. We played vs f´ing CLONE-LINEUPS!!! What a fun! Btw. You got informed that they might bann/limit ships in this season! And what a suprise! It hit the obvious candidates!

I think its a test. And its smth. the community actually wanted. Limiting ships or better the lack of viable ships made the last season very boring. I have seen pretty much no other BBs in this season except Musashi and Georgia.... actually I have seen a Lion and a Missouri once. Getting these 45x+ mm guns out of the game and limiting Alaskas might just be enough to bring back other (techtree) cruisers. Still I think T9 (techtree) cruisers are pretty UP compared to their DD and BB counterparts and that problem existed long before the Captain Rework. Remember those old T9 ranked Seasons? It was always a BB/DD Fiesta. The next step is, to limit DDs to 2-3? That could be interesting. So rant as much as you want, OP. I think these changes are good for the game and its imo one of the few things WG has done right over the past years.

Finally, the time has come.....

FTFY.

While I not agree with everything... have an upvote for that sentence.

Immer wieder witzig zu sehen, wie underpowered Kreuzer auf der Stufe sind: Ich hab Terrible genommen (Fantasque geht natürlich auch): Baltimore konnte nicht genug dakka geben bevor er von mir geyolot wurde. Hipper hab ich aus Interesse dann mal nur mit Geschützen beharkt (AP auf unter 10km), hatte auch keine chance gegen mich. Nur der dumme CV ist natürlich stärker.

Take Terrible/Fantasque and go smash. As a side-benefit you can improve your Yolo-Skills. Good fun, but a bit repetetive.
