Nah WG would never miss a chance to make a German BB. ( We already have Anhalt in progress) like which other nation 8 T8 BB ? Just as a low quality bait : And Ukraine is Russia

We got 2 Austro-Hungarian ship in the game: Tátra a T2 DD in the EU tech Viribus Unitis T5 Premium BB of the Tegetthoff Class Having a specific tech three wouldnt work as the empire ended with WW1 so even with ongoing designs probably the highest would be T6 which they could fill, but WG can probably make EU cruiser and BB lines up and fill the early tiers with them. Or if WG is being WG we can even have a proper cold war era T10 Austro-Hungarian BB right from the "archives"

Maybe it is RNG .... maybe Russian bias , or maybe you have a hidden talent for the Makarov

Yeah most lines do well once you got a 10 pt captain , but i guess this line isnt the only one which needs a better cpt to work .... I mean i wouldnt want to try again KM BC line with a 10 pt captain ( without extra heal +dmg con or 2nd gun accuracy pick your poision). But arent DDs and 2nd gun BBs more hungry on the cpt points anyways.

Italy is full of filler ships for the mid tiers , i yet to start on the DDs , but the Cruisers only started to be usable from T9 , tough the Venezia is probably the most fun cruiser i ever had. But the BBs and DDs seem like a filler line from start to T10. The BBs probably I will do next year if only that and the Vermont will be left to grind :P ( just got the new KM done , got UK to do and im a bit burned out already) , but the DDs i will probably skip as a whole.

Yeah you are right about it. Also it depends a lot on the ship played ... im the same 53% WR dude ... yet im 42% on the Kagero , but 62% on the Lightning, some ships are just not fit for your playstyle or just not good in general. I got a friend of mine who started the game on IJN DDs and was a sub 45% WR potato , he swapped to USN BB after like 400-500 fail games in IJN DD & none of his USN BBs were bellow 50% WR.

Hm i dont understand this request ... if any of those ships would have been made they would all probably been scrapped before the colapse of the Soviet union ... its like asking for Scottish flag for the UK ships who harbor at Scappa Flow. I would rather see ships of minor nations who existed and had Navy in the timespan of the game , like Spain , Argentina , more Dutch and Sweedish lines or maybe Ottoman empire and Austria Hungary with ships up to T5.

Nah there are plenty of sub 45% WR admirals to cover 2 of us 53%-ers

Same here , i will push a few more lines to Tier X , do the aniversary event & put the game on a month break, i dont mind the toxicity to be honest ... but the developers attitude and the boring meta got me burned out. I know the game is designed this way so it promotes paying but the new lines are a hell to grind & if MM decides that you should get a lose streak , it the grinding becomes even more pain ... seeing those rare blue booster get wasted cause MM decide to give a game with no chance to win feels like getting robbed. I will finnish the Goliat and Schlieffen grind , knock out the snowflakes on T8-10 and only come back probably a week or 2 before the xmas event.

Can you guys recomend some steel ships to buy ? I got the Stalingrad & now piled up to 50k Steel ( i would keep steel in case if WG add some decent CA) , so im about to buy something. Which ships worth picking up and why from the current selection ? Or is there something really good ship anounced which will cost steel and will be released still this year ? In case if you ask me that what ships i prefer, i like the ones bellow in order of priority: Axis cruisers: Venezia , Hindenburg , Mainz , Aegir, Hipper Murrican BBs: NC, Georgia, Montana French Cruisers: Henry & Charles Martel Murican DDs from T6 and up Rusky and Murican Cruisers or Rusky BB Stuff i really dont like: Rusky and French DD ( learn 2 play issues) IJN DDs ( boring) and any BB with crap accuracy ... looking at FDG , GK and the Italians

Hm... From what i can see Mecklenburg seems pretty medicore with garbage fire angle & absolutely no overmatch. Incomparable seems like a sneaky large gun BC who gets F-ed by the CVs harder than the Musashi & Bourgogne is probably the only one which is actually fun in random MM. Or am i missing something ?

For me it was the Lion , the Monarch was as painfull as they said , the Lion had a similar reputation , yet it was the best T9 BB grind i did sofar. Zeiten also has a bad reputation yet that was a really cool ship for me & the Heinrich which players praised was a soulcrushing strugle & i gave up and FXP it.

"That is a feature to make the game more interesting"... as any of the WG fanboys would say Honestly this kind of stuff is only a minor issue with the MM, WG would need to throw this garbage we have now and start building a new MM from 0. 1st of all divisions and solo players should have different MM queue like many other games does ... almost all the rolfstomps happen as 1 side gets a decent division and the other gets none.

Yeah considering what i actually need in game there is 50% chance that the drop will be more or less useless for me ( signal or green booster) 38% that i will get decent stuff ( blue booster , coal, 7days prem or 1k doublon) and the rest i consider epic rewards ( unless the ship is indeed a garbage prem ... but thats still a prem in the end). If WG actually let you swap 4 green boosters for 1 blue this SC would be still Super ... now is like a bit better than usual container, as i usually just grab the resources container.

Do you guys know what does this Vallejo has ? Seems like this will be out for steel soon too.

Hm Mecklen is out than , i really dont like when the guns are trouble to keep on target & also if i check the DPM it is pretty similar to Bourgogne, so probably with the MBRB and speedboost and larger caliber Bourge would just do better i guess. Does Incomparabe has really bad AA ? Nvm, still a good tip , on RB im not doing as well so I will just get the Ohio hopefully this weekend , after that the Siegfried seems like a good next goal.

Stalingrad is already at port for a few years now , ad it well worth its price. Bourgogne seem to come up from everyone, and it seems to me like a pre nerf Alsace with MBRB which sounds fun.... but that Incomparable & Mecklenburg seems short of interesting too. The 380s and 305s i know and i like them , but this HUGE 508mm looks something unique.

Okay so that pretty much narrow down the list at least, does any of this 3 BB have glaring disadventages ? Like exposed above the water citta , or bad turret angles , maybe some other significant issues ? The accuracy seems fine on each of them, Bourgogne seem to be lacking compared to the other 2 in this department but I guess the 380s just way better than the 305s ( looks same to me as the Aegir guns just 16 instead of 9) and the Inco somewhat suffer on the range and has only 6 guns, so gunnery wise they all seem pretty fine. HP seems more like the Large Cruiser or Battle Cruiser levels than on a full Battleship , so i guess All 3 of this ships are supposed to play just above their detection range in which the Incomparable see to be godlike with the camo value of 13km base. I just wonder if the Mecklenburg is plagued by the german turret angles same way as the GK or actually it dont need to open up full broadside just to shot the rear turrets , cause if it doesnt it might be the ship im looking for... if not than the Bourgogne or Incomparable might be a better pick.

Lately i got quite some decent games with the Gearing running the stock Fletcher torps with the ship geared for fastest torp reload, spamming out those torps with 78 sec reload seems quite effective in ranked at least. Daring is a beast so go for that one, just one good advice ... FXP the hull on the Jutland, the A hull has a really odd and bad turret placement. Cleve is probably where that line peaks in performance ... the Seatle is a downgrade IMHO , and the Wooster can stand its ground but the Desmo is just flat out better. As for rushing just to get an extra SC .. if you can get it by speed grinding with green boosters its worth it ... if you FXP the way probably not.

That 2 are really good, aslo Wyoming and Duguay are quite decent for T4

WG should really make a Brawl for WW1 Historic ships , or if not brawl maybe an operation.

I got a pretty nice round in the Gearing in ranked. I dont know how to reload the replay video, but there was an epic torp salvo, it killed the enemy Gearing point blank & the last 2 torp knocked out the GK 8.9km out , not an oficial " Double strike" but i sent 2 ship back to port with 1 click. Btw i fought the whole fight 1v3 on my A+B cap flank , got both cap solo and get home with over 10k HP to spare.

Yeah i can totally agree with you on most of the parts , but i guess the Ohio can also blap broadsides like the Monty does. IMO the Ohio can do almost everything what the Monty does & plenty more, Monty has a quite a bit beefier broadside when the 406s can plunged the deck or pen the belt , and Ohios 457s just make 30mm cruiser armor irrelevant. Monty needs to stay on mid to long range while Ohio is short of an assault version of Monty but it can still play further out too with the 2.0 sigma and decent dispersion. Maybe that can be a good reason to get it. Tbh probably the reason i dont think so high of the Slava is that i got the Stalingrad years before it and probably that was the ship which got me to adjust my aim properly ... with 2.65 sigma and that dispersion you cant really blame the RNG if you miss. Yeah German BBs on the old line have horrible accuracy GK was probably my 4th or 5th T10 BB, but i hardly played it the guns just say " shot in the general direction" cause they just go all around the already large dispersion.

Well Ohio is not really a no brainer, but if you know how to play the Montana it is just a better version of it, due to the 457mm main guns & the improved 2nd guns. The Slava is not a bad ship , dont get me wrong. I just generally consider it a noob trap since it is super strong vs the really bad players , but it is not too good vs someone who knows the game a bit. It is very accurate, and has fast shells but the reload is on the slower end , also the ship has weak armor and only 25mm bow ( even the 380mm guns overmatch that), so most BB player who knows how to angle will easily outtrade the Slava. This ship is really just a 1 trick pony for sniping players showing broadsides, thats works in randoms as there are quite a few clueless player there, but if the enemy know what to do it will lose effectiveness really fast. And if you want to snipe anyways the Legendary Module upgraded Yamato or the T11 Satsuma are probably better and cheaper options. The vertical dispersion will be way worse, but you will get similar reload times & gun count but on 460mm guns with 2.1 sigma which overmatch 32mm plating compared to the 406s who can overmatch 27mm platings as best. Not to mention the tankyness which the Yamato can provide on long range compared to the Slava.

Maybe you play in different times than i do , probably 1 out of 4 games there is a division in my matches which outright win the game in a steamroll. Probably in less than half of the games where i would say that both team gets a fair chance at wining.
