Yes, the Gremy can citadel T5 cruisers with ease... never tried that with 127mm shells... anyone has any results on that?

When playing the Furutaka I allways load AP by default... the 203mm guns on that thing can even citadel a Kongo. However, with regards to the DD pea shooters, it's not really working

sorry for that, I start getting confused myself...

That is the "daily double". You get that for the first victory of the day for each ship... it gets reset every morning. Do not be confused, that I call it double, that carried over from WoT where it is x2 instead of x1.5

Shanara explained that one. Every ship has "servicing costs" that you have to pay, every battle, regardless of damage. CVs have the highest servicing costs, because they are supposed by the devs to get damaged less often during battles.

I tried, never worked for me... and HE critical damage can so fully cripple any DD... you should know... ;)

Yeah, I really do not care much for historical accuracy (I know, I know, many do) but this is so wrong, balancing wise... speed and stealth is the only defense DDs have.

Doesn't the Gremlin have 14 cm guns?

2.5 °/s

Clemson is faster than Isokaze and then Farragut is again faster than Mutsuki. The trick, with DD hunting in US DD is, you need Situational Awareness. When you are spotted and there is no CA/BB/Aircraft near you, there is a IJN DD somewhere. With a bit of map awareness, you know approximately, from where the IJN DD probably approached and you head straight at him. If he comes at you, you spot him, if he tries to turn away, he loses speed, you spot him. It really works. I typically go hunt Minekazes and Mutsukis this way in my Hatsuharu, because I can outgun them (sounds strange for IJN doesn't it )

Never ever fire AP at a DD. Not even with 120 mm guns... chances on hitting the citadel are not that good and in every other case you overpenetrate. HE is the way to go. And here the point was, that US DD have better camo than CA, this, the IJN DD does not know that far in advance where the DD is, while he spots CAs miles away.

I did not want to confuse the people even more ... However... as far as I know, the original acronym CV comes from French language and means carrier voler I know, that volplane also exists, but if it is true, no one knows... so whatever it is... carrier voler/volplane ... that's where it comes from.

Because of the scaling, knots are around 2.57 m/s, which is 5 times faster than in reality.

Maybe, you should have headed for the mission objective earlier?

You are the most boring anti-torpedo-troll ever...

No, after not having done that in WoT from the beginning, I swore, not to sell any ship anymore.. However, only at 18 ships atm... but I will buy 3 new ones soon (had first to pay the Fubuki and all Upgrades).

Ah, Ok, the thing, when you drive faster, than the smoke is generated... or when you are diving in and out of the cloud... got it, thank you.

Still only reading what you want to read, right? As I (again) said: T4 + T5 need a nerf, yes! Torpedos in itself? No! Of course not, because you can do a lot against being hit by torpedos. At higher tiers, torpedo spreads are typically 30+ seconds in the water before they reach the target, so slight changes in course every now and then is enough to evade most torpedos, plus, if you are aware of your surroundings, you can even dodge spotted torp spreads, also in a big battleship. Second, I love to also play cruisers, which are my secondary line, and I have started to play battleships, so I do not really care which ships I play... however atm I just like the playstyle of fragile glas cannons, yes. Third, one-shotting someone with torps, you cry... one shotting someone with battleship guns, scoring a couple of citadel hits (which good players can do quite frequently) is OK? Bias! Fourth, what is balancing in your opinion (btw. you still failed to give backed up reasons, except whining)? Battleships that can go wherever they want and kill whatever they want? Cool story, bro! So, what do you think happens, when you remove torps from the game? Right, you can, at the same time, also remove the ship class destroyer and carrier, and you can remove the IJN cruisers. So we have battleships and US cruisers left... however, because there is no carrier anymore, the US cruisers have completely redundant AA armament... meaning, the only thing they can kill reliably, is other cruisers... thus, we can also remove them, too... leaving us with what? Ah, right, that thing you are proclaiming the whole time... World of Battleships... how boring would that be... Grow up...

There are enough people who did that... however... when your Account level rised to 2 and more... did you even read the pop-up screen, what that meant? Because at level 2 PVP is explained...

And this is so stupid... why has the ingame Fubuki only 35.8 kn

It is however not multiplicative for premium time / daily double / flags ... so I am not sure... For the 'reducing' abilities it is a dimnishing effect, for AA range it would be piling up, the more skills you get ?!?

According to a supertester statment, the mathematical correct stacking would be: original range x 1.2 (Captain's skill) x 1.2 (Upgrade) = 1.44 x original range At least for reduction of a stat it is that way (camo, loading time) because of dimnishing returns (so that 2 boni give less advantage). If this is also true for increasing boni that add up, I am not sure. So, either it is +40% range or +44% ... I don't know.

Quite easy, the abbreviation are used by the navy, so these are original designations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_classification_symbol BB ... Battleship CA ... Cruiser Armored CL ... Cruiser Light DD ... Destroyer CV ... Carrier Vessel Maybe also intersting; AA ... Anti-air AAA ... Anti-air armament AP ... Armor piercing ammunition HE ... High explosive ammunition

Well... now, when you say that... it might be, that I saw that in my Furutaka... and this ship has actually 2x 127mm secondary guns at each side... and they fire HE on default... so yes, this might be it. Thank you! Every secondary below 150mm fires HE, the ones above AP.
