Okay. Just get out. Uninstall the game and never come back. If your attitude is that 50% of the matches should be wins just because they are random, then you fail to grasp the most basic concepts of not only this game, but any MMO in existence. The average winrate is around 48% IIRC, not 50. If it was truly just down to luck everyone would have the same ~49.8%-ish winrate (accounting for draws), and there would be no exceptions. However, for some reason there are people who have winrates as high as 70-75%, because they actually understand how to swing a battle. Here's a hint: raw damage isn't everything. If it was, then I should have won the Ibuki game where I did 208k damage and killed 4 ships. I should have won the Baltimore game in which I took on 3BB's and a CA with one backing ship and won that fight and ended up 130-something K damage. In neither case did I win. Why? Because I was unable tp effect the battle in a way that would have swung it. Sure, sometimes the team is useless, but there is only so many times you can blame them, and with 47% WR maybe, just maybe it's not their fault every time you lose.

I know! I was definitely being funny there. My interest is mainly wetger there is a way with or without IFHE to deal citadel damage by hitting a British cruiser anywhere with secondaries. I doubt it, but playing with the idea is still fun. Sorry, I'll straighten up now and get serious. No silliness allowed.

There is a clan recruitment section on the forums you know.

Yeah, I figured, but I thought others may profit from an explanation. Consistent, no, fun and bonkers, yes. Although, 155IFHE is actually very consistent in terms of damage. PS: én csak post-EM/B/AFT-nerf játszottam vele, és a legutóbbi buff óta sztem kellemes hajó. @dasCKD I was being funny there. I know 114mm's (?) of citadel belt can't be penned by secondary HE, I was joking (or was I? How about the other armour zones? )

Why?

You are supposed to conserve your hitpoints as much as you can and in the end of the match you can afford so. Also, island cover. Coming out from behind an island with turrets facing to the rear quarter and catching an enemy cruiser brodside on at close range can be extremely satisfying. If you play a lot of games in the ship, you are bound to come up to situations where you'll be able to exploit the AP. It's situational, sure, but also effective in those situations.

While the idea itself is interesting, I would like to point out, that many games are lost because heavily damaged enemy ships are not finished off. Sometimes the person doing abysmal damage to enemy ships and just "killstealing" (not a thing btw) ie finishing them off is making much more of a difference than the one who put the most damage into the enemy ship. I don't exactly understand the why of your suggestion, but rest assured: reward wise the player who gets the best rewarded in the destruction of a ship is the one who has made the most damage in precentage of total HP to the enemy ship. So a guy beating down 90% of the HP of an enemy ship is getting more credits and xp than the guy who takes the remaining 10% for the kill.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it... Like really, IFHE CV spec cpt vs Minotaur bots + training room :D

LOLWUT If Alsace doesn't perform for you, I got bad news for you son, You got 99 problems but the ship ain't one. PS: Also, bringing up Baltimore as a negative example in this day and age doesn't work anymore.

That shouldn't be a problem, especially at ranges below 10-9km. Thank you for your input, now sit down. IJN AP is perfectly fine when not used above its limits: bounce angles are average and miracles shouldn't be expected, but at a target tgat is sufficiently broadside, you'll do just fine with either the 8" or the 155mil. The main problem with the IJN 8" guns is that between T5 and T9, they don't scale. At all. Really. The C-hull Furutaka has the exact same guns as the C-hull Ibuki, and while in the Aoba you can get the best results by using your powerful-for-the-tier AP in concert with your very powerful HE and 11 seconds reload, at T8/9/X things have evolved highly in terms of armour, so the same angles and ranges will not yield the same results with the same ammo. As for the 155mil guns, you shouldn't feel limited in any way. They are right comfortable guns, and under 10 km, you can tear a broadsiding cruiser a new one with AP with them (also you can go to town on broadsiding 14" BB's with AP, I once tore up a New Mexico and a KGV with AP from the side, taking 5-7k chunks off them by pointing my bow at them).

While impressive, I would still not call that reliable. The angles of attack are flat (at the close rangeshots you can even be seen looking for the flattest angle possible), and getting perfect target angles on stationary sgips is one thing, getting perfect predicted target angle in combat is another thing completely. The question never was wether a BB (in this instance Conq and in most other cases Iowa) can be citadeled, the question was why was it made harder and more down to luck than to aiming and judgement. You shouldn't have to be parading gloriously around the forums saying "see, BB's can be citadeled", it should be the norm. And not just at 85-90 degree angles on a small area (because it IS a small area), but from B to X turret at angles beginning at 75 degrees. This ship, Conqueror would still probably be overpowered even if it was reliably citadelable. There is no possible doubt about that. Finally kudos for having posted the entire (?) testing reel, I thought that it would have gone missing like the replays of people crying cheating.

Upload it.

I am blocked from recieving msgs? Tgat is weird. Others don't seem to have a problem to get through to me... PS: sent you a message

Don't sell it outright! Try her first, I'm sure you'll be positively surprised!

Probably has a lower rating because relatively speaking the 12x 380mm rifles are considered weaker on T9 than 8 of the same rifles were on T8? Idk, I think Alsace is hilarious and quite strong for her tier.

Is there a chance to get an update without whine?

Damn you VC for being sensible, I want to moan about Pepsi, damn it!

I have to admit, it looks weird (or rather: half-a$$ed), but from what I can tell we have to remain patient.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2024097944583209&id=1909055039420834 As much as I appreciate your sarcasm, trust me, ST is not just there to look stupid all the time.

Can you all stop losing your crap? The devblog on fb had a post about this: The stats have not yet been adjusted Also, have some faith in the st, maybe they won't let you down?

While Indy is my only 8-killer so far, I have to say I don't like her very much. Pensacola for me works much better for some reason.

Am I? well that's flattering. I wouldn't be so reluctant to play TX if I was you, I found that the real shitshow is T9 with cruisers, while TX is rather comfortable and T8 is hard work but manageable. In T9 I cannot get my WR up to save my life despite averaging rather high damage wise (especially in Baltimore). T7 is the most comfortable tier for any class I found, it's perfectly sensible for people to stop and practise there, I know I hung around there for quite some time. About the captain, my thoughts are pretty much the same as those of @Affeks.

Yeah, but at least mine was unintentional Also, damn the forums for butchering my image
