Hydro + Captain perk + Tier 8 target acquisition mod = almost 4-5 km range spotting torps. On my Iowa is it 3km for me without Hydro so its pretty high with Perk + mods. Edit: Forgot to add most players know when someone torps so they have learnt to counter, i tend to fire behind and ahead of the line now encase they slow down or speed up

Its going to be a struggle to not smash my face against the wall getting 50k exp for the leander class.

Really? Im getting rekted in my tier 4, now tier 5...and doing next to no damage to anyone while they always citadel me with my 10km spot range that is half the map...

How does high shell velocity = High arc?

What are you smoking? The Minotaur was a real ship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minotaur-class_cruiser_(1943) Do some homework before looking stupid.

Clearly sarcasm my friend since he compares it to WoT.

Um no it was not, maybe 5-6 BB 4-5 CA and 1-2 DD, now its like 5-6 BB 1-2 CA and 4-5 DD all the time, it think its more to do with DDs getting more popular, at higher tier i always see 5 DDs in a tier 10 game.

Let us wait till RN cruisers come out then post screens of nothing but CA in matches and claim there are to many CAs now....

Um, you contradict your statement just pointing out your wording is probably wrong. Anyways it is not as common as players make out, the whole 1 shot thing happens maybe once in a game if your lucky, ive only seen it happen once in about 2-3 games. BBs are meant to tank so players complaining they dont get instant gibbed is stupid, BBs are meant to soak up the damage.

Funny my Prinz Eugen does well against a BB, sure i wont win in a 1 v 1 brawl unless i get in torp range, but i can make his life hard and frustrating. People playing CA and crying that they get instantly killed are those who sail side on to battleships and keep on doing it... Its very very rare u get citadel from the front if your dodging.

To answer your question it is cause the guns have a 30 second reload, spotting torps at 3km that are in a 15 wide spread normally means death, if the CA are screening ahead of me then i can see the torps well ahead of time and take the avoid. I vary speed but a good DD player knows to account for a BB taking avoiding action. So without a DD eliminated i can not as a Battleship push to the cap, i can not close the range on the other BB for fear of being torped. At Tier 8- Tier 10 75% of the ships carry torps that have around 6-10km in range even the CA all carry torps making brawling as a BB harder. Maps are another big issue, a lot of them have lots of land mass in the middle of the map, making torp channels and choke points, not only that most of the maps are hard to get from 1 side to the other without having to go around..combine all this together then well u got BB who wont kinda push into death. Or camping...

How about do this for all classes? CA players are just as passive ive had the odd CA hide along the border while his team dies.. 15km from another BB means your either 5-10km from a cap, which at tier 8-10 means your in torp range....which then further means if you don't "run away" your going to die since ur CA wont scout that dd out...

Well it sort of is both, exploiting it is cheating to gain an unfair advantage.

By changing the maps so they are not so Torp friendly, so many narrow channels and passages that force players to go down them or lose. The Devs are forcing players to go into DD heaven. Epicenter is a prime example. Problem is 90% of the maps your instantly spotted from spawn, so going anywhere or doing anything means your always being watched and if ur highest tier Battleship everyone is going to kill you and its your job to not die and last as long as possible to win.

Time to nerf BB captain's who have Brains, they are to OP.

Well when playing a Cruiser you do have a choice, Broadside and die, or turn tail and run making ur ship as hard to hit as possible, with a BB and CV it doesn't matter how good you avoid the Torps, the Dive bombers always land hits, if the CV captain is good at Manual drops then he will always land 3-4 torp hits regardless due to having 2 torp squads, at least at tier 9/10 You can dodge IJN drops but u cant seem to dodge US torps. P.S Why do IJN drop 1-2km further away then US planes that drop right on top of a BB?

Just wait for RU Battleships people will yet again cry Russian bias, cause well Russian company...10km secondary at tier 8 is a bit strong, but i think that is what makes the Bismarck its own ship. The Bayern for me is OP its armour seems buggy and in need a reworking.

Funny best performing ship is a DD, stats sadly tell a different story at higher tiers like tier 10. Which has the Midway, the ship deemed so OP they had to nerfed it to stop it breaking the balance. Ok well jet fighters vs IJN was way to OP. Carriers at tier 9/10 gain a massive power creep while lower tiers seem pretty weak, Tier 8 is balanced.

How does one read this from a profile? Please teach me your magic in stereotyping people. You cant dodge an anvil and hammer tactic, you either miss 1 set torps and eat the 2nd or take them all...AA is only good on US battleships IJN and GER kinda suck low tiers to. Tier 9/10 your ship is about a mile long takes almost the radius of the earth to turn Sailing alone is not something you can control, its either people decide to stick by you or don't bother, you just need to try keep near people in slow battleships this is harder.

But no other ship has 50% extra captain xp, this is the PE "Unique" feature you keep going on about.

No one has really come up with any idea on how to make it "Unique" instead just whined a lot.

So you say i have no imagination but say only adding radar is ok...im confused cause well, that is also not very imaginative....lets give it idk....smoke? Didnt have smoke but hey.

But how can you make the Prinz Eugen "Unique" Or just slap Radar on it and say hey its got radar that is better then the Hipper...i don't understand how you can give a ship that is the same class anything "New" Since both ships would of had the same stuff. It has more hp then a Hipper.

I seem to meet them very often at tier 8 and tier 9 when i shoot with my Iowa they just tickle while i deal tons of damage. They also like to burn.

Insane AA, only a few points, forgot to mention it has worse rudder shift and turn radius, no secondary guns....so to me its pretty much even as it trades one good point for a bad point over the new york. And the rudder shift was the strongest part of the new york. I agree it should have Radar, I mean the real one had radar....
