I've had the same, but I guess it is my own aiming that makes this happen. If I recall it correctly the SN BB's have a T shaped citadel, so if you aim at the waterline the odds are high that a few will go into the citadel and the other shells will arm before hitting the citadel. To get better results I guess you have to aim a little bit above the waterline, so that you get most of your shells in the upper part of the T shaped citadel. At least, this is what crossed my mind after last time I played this game, so I still need to test it. Regarding the topic itself I thought WG called a ship OP when a player overperforms in said ship compared to his other ships. Kinda what the entire CV class does compared to the other classes.

What else to make DDs playable? I gave so many suggestions of which I like the complete of rockets the most, but WG knowing that aint gonna happen.

Give rockets a 50% speed reduction so that hitting DDs becomes less easy?

Have you tried angling your turrets against incoming fire? They are pretty flat so they get penetrated fairly easy.

But with all the bad pilots in Ranked what difference do Rentals make? A potato with his own tier 10 won't perform any better than a potato with a Rental, because a potato won't be able to use the advantages he has over a rental. I am sure enough that there is also a large portion of Rental players who are even more clueless than the average player, most likely above the rank 10 bracket, but it is easier to carry against such players. IMO so easy that the Rental introduction doesn't make a difference.

Name and shame me, I did the last part with my Hakuryu.

Ah, like some people on this forum with their secondary CVs and stuff.

So I have played 119 battles in Ranked with Rentals only and no upgrades; played battleships and destroyers. As a result I managed to hit the R5 bracket. Sure, a Rental puts me into a disadvantage, because the ship is simply less good. Is this a reason to complain about Rentals? I don't think it is, because a player who fails to understand the basics of the game will not be able to use the advantages of his own ship over a Rental. I am pretty sure more newbies were introduced to tier 10 gameplay this weekend, but it is not like I noticed any difference over the other seasons I have played. I also noted that most complains about Rentals come from players who don't understand the game themselves. Overal Ranked is still pretty much the same game it used to be, a grinding fest where everyone loves to overextend. The only difference this season are the carriers that were introduced, which was a great idea. EDIT: Let me clarify that last one: CV's rack up damage over time, since they are in the back they will do a lot of damage and thus get a lot of base exp fairly easy compared to the other classes. The current EXP system Ranked is based on is incorrect and has been mentioned multiple times though in the other seasons as well.

Is there someone who keeps an overview of what is, and was, being discussed in this thread?

Came across @__Helmut_Kohl__ yesterday in Ranked

So what is wrong with delaying the spotting time for planes and/or giving CV's a reload time for launching their planes?

You win some , you lose some. If losing stars bothers you that much play CV.

He better makes a list for the people he like....

Same price as Jean Bart?? Where's my inflation?

We kinda got tired of playing against players like you. That is why we try to help others by giving them tips and tricks, so that we will have to fight against more difficult opponents than the usual potato fest.

Came across @Yedwy and @Zen71_sniper in Ranked. Rank 5 now :3

It would kinda suck for the average player to be in a match with their tier 6 or 7 against a tier 9 / 10.

Montana is a really strong battleship. She's a bit old fashioned (not so gimmicky), but her main battery is darn impressive. I like to play her in a cruiser style with the legendary mounted. Battleships, cruisers or even destroyers, Monty eats them all.

Oh, the Harusame, right? I'd guess she has two boilers, since I see two smoke stacks. I wouldn't have a clue at what pressures / temperatures they would run back in those days; 42 bar / 440 Celsius?

I don’t give two hoots about it. Sorry, English is not my native language.

Two men divisions would make the grind more bearable for those that need steel. I also wouldn't really care to fight against divisions when I play solo.

To be honest WG wouldn't even know how to program it, unless it happens again by accident.

No upgrades (:

Brawling means just closing down the engagement and is not class, nor ship, dependent. As I see it though. Why would you brawl? You normally close down the distance to secure an objective or position you want to be in. Example 1: You are playing a battleship and under HE spam from long range cruisers. You see near the cap a lone BB and you know you can kill the BB. You now use the islands to rule out the HE spamming cruisers to kill the BB and secure the objective. Example 2: You are playing a cruiser with torpedoes against a BB that cannot overmatch your bow armour. Sure, you can keep on going with the long range HE spam, but you can also sail towards the BB and torp him to death. There are plenty of other examples, but if you decide to brawl it all comes down to positioning to improve your chances on victory. The closer it gets the easier it is for both parties to get hits, so beforehand you have to know whether you will win the brawl or just to take out one important objective and retreat again. The minimap is the holy grail. This one will tell you exactly what will happen and the course you must sail. You are mentioning: I would guess from this that you are picking the wrong moments to brawl. I mean you have to be sure you will win the engagement or have a retreat ready before you even brawl. Don't expect help from your team, nor from RNGesus. The battles you brawl against too many enemies but have RNGesus on your side are lots of fun and can lead to good scores, but you have to know that you put your victory chances in faith. Sure, I do it as well so now and than... You know, the SN BBs with "accurate at close range" can be really epic when you wipe down an entire flank at close range, but these games are rare. You will find RNGesus being AFK a bit too much when you really need him and that is something you want to rule out when you want to win every game. Good luck :)

This is very interesting, because it looks like you do not understand us. What is your native language? Perhaps someone can explain it in your own language so that you get a better understanding of the game and the answers we provide to you. I guess Google Translate is messing things up for you.
