I agree with you in that a Battleship without a substantial superstructure just seems like it's missing something. I for one prefer tower superstructures such as that of the Yamato, the Dunkerque, the Richelieu or that of the US BB's. Just to nitpick a bit: Nagato's mast is more an penta- or septopod mast (can't remember if it has 5 or 7 legs offhand)

Our recruitment topic has fallen back to the second page. Unthinkable!

Met Jethro_Grey Yesterday, while in a division with Trainspite. We took him on our division, but alas, he didn't turn our bad luck around (also, sorry for snapping and quitting). Met Cpt_Cowper_Coles today, also while in a division with Trainspite.

Given that the puff is bigger, I'd suggest trying 23-21kts. I don't know the exact mechanics of smoke laying, but I seem to understand that if you are within a set distance of the bubble's centre, it will just reset the dissipation time and not lay a new bubble, however, if you are far enough away, it will lay a new bubble. Meaning that for a 20% bigger bubble you need higher speed to deploy the second one.

Imagine if you had those on your A-hull

That's gonna be some funny smoke.

Once more, you overestimate weekend teams!

Reunited with my Mogami. I need a bit of refamiliarisation, but I'll take this for a first game. Could have been much better if I hadn't taken a torough beating from a Bismarck early on (gib heal.) which limited me to stealthfire for a bit

Invisifire all the way please.

You clearly have no idea who you are talking to. Show him the screenshots Kpt.

Yeah, they weren't very effective. The UP was declared an outright failure, while the IJN 120mm rocket doesn't seem to have done much better either.

Who clubs the sealclubbers?

That's what I thought at first as well, but what Pano linked is what seems to be correct.

Missiles are usually guided -> voted no Mines... meh. -> voted no Rockets are unguided -> voted yes

How did you get matched against a Minotaur? Were you in a mismatched div?

Yes, well, we want people who have sub 30 WR in order to make them look good before releasing them into teams with xvm-like mods so that they see a 60-70+ WR guy and think it's gonna be ez-pz, and then fall flat on their face. Genius level evil plan, innit?

I didn't like Emerald when I played her. Might do better if I could be bothered to go back to it now, but after dipping my finger into Leander, there is no going back.

They are indeed different. I think Scharnhorst's guns were 2.5 calibres longer, fired a heavier shell with slightly lower velocity and a very similar design, which meant the shell had better energy (and thus penetration) retention. AGS's guns weren't bad, but Scharnhorst's guns were better. In game for some reason that is only reflected in penetration, while damage is better on AGS

You know what else your AGS has? Lighter shells. Contrary to popular belief, penetration is not only dependent on velocity.

I think placing 1047 at TX in a CA lne would be, in this case, a forgiveable sin, as there isn't really anything else to fill out that gap. It would pretty odd to balance however, as you have a very similar ship at T7 as a BB. That said, given some goodies on top of the usual TXCA heal (DefAA, sonar, spotterplane), she could cut it as a CA.

Here are mine: - Emden - why sell her, she was free and I can use a KM CA cpt Tenryu - prefer her flexibility over the raw firepower of St. Louis and Bogatyr Kuma - because this is as overpowered as it gets for T4 cruisers; Yubari - fun to take out now and then, esp if you have a decently powerful cpt in her; Ishizuchi - well, it's a CA in BB's clothing. Königsberg - I don't really see a better chioce here (*prepares for wave of criticism); Kongo-class ARP ships - can't sell 'em, may as well use them. Leander - *licks lips in excitement*; Molotov - T9 guns at T6, 'nuff said; Perth - because spamming HE from smoke with a spotterplane is fun; Fuso - when in doubt, apply 12 14" rifles to target; Dunkerque - because whenever someone makes a french army joke I get triggered and I need to kill something while painted bleu-blanc-rouge. Also the ship is beautiful and screams aggro; Warspite - because Warspite (and 2.0 sigma). Belfast - do I even need to say why?; Błyskawica - do I even need to say why?; Myoko-class ARP ships - see Kongos. Atago - *whistles inoccently*; [technically not a keeper, but a to-be-rebought: stealth-built Mogami - invisi-spam ftw.] And that's my list so far. I have one T9 ship, but I haven't had enough games to decide if I like her yet.

I'm surprised that flags aren't used for clans. I think they should be flown opposite to the "normal" flags.

I actually do like it. Not always, because sometimes teams are just hopeless, but I really like the concept.

Stock Fuso needs all the help it can get
