Tirpitz if you're a scrub, Scharnhorst if you're a sophisticated scrub Both are good ships but Scharnhorst is way harder to play if uptiered.

I don't think the entire meta is crap ^^ I dislike stuff like the Missouri, Black, Flint - yes.

Playing CV is like solving a rubik's cube. I think WG needs BB. Most players are not capable of playing anything more challenging (if that), really. But the game still needs their money. So, suck it up On the other hand - if MM queue times forced more people into cruisers those citadel missions would be way easier (let's be real, "they" would start playing DD).

op: Ship is shite and you hit the tier 5 - match maker-wall of pain. Before, you met max t5 - now you can meet t7. She is speedy so you can kinda contest caps but you'll have to be quite obvious in most cases (smoke, preferably with hardcover nearby for hiding purposes in case of need) and have to consider torps coming your way. Still, the speed advantage is nice. Fully upgraded and with a reasonable cpt she looks like an ok gunboat.

Some cruisers are also big ships and in general have better camo values than BB. If you go hunt DD it would be wise to use some sort of hard cover to protect at least one direction of possible engagement. Hunting DD in cruisers isn't trivial and shouldn't be. Funnily enough there are a lot of caps with quite a bit of hard cover to be found. Which can work both ways if the DD is smart and noticed the radar cruisers on the team lists. Yes, cruisers have limitations regarding the usage of their DPM (same with all classes, really). They can decide to bring all their guns to bear but that isn't always advisable. If you get the drop on a broadside cruiser then he probably should've picked "priority target" or developed common sense/read the map/shouldn't have sailed around the corner while watching porn at the start of a match. Hint: Turn away before peeking around a corner. Not when you see the BB that is waiting there, leaving only the options to reverse, turn or yolo in. I don't want all the classes to be easy. And neither should you. There have to be classes with higher skill ceiling/floor. A great cruiser player can toy with BB. Ofc there are limitations. WG doesn't consider 20 sec to be "blinking" as far as I'm aware.

As a DD I have to predict invisible DD movements all the time (also cruiser and BB movements btw)...so you want BB to be visible all the time unless they don't use their guns? It's not like BB can travel very far in 30 sec. A stealth BB can wait for the moment you commit to a turn. A visible BB should to the same. If you managed to get yourself in a tight spot (i.e. didn't turn when it wasn't too late) where you *have* to give broadside (and the opposition is smart enough to know it) it doesn't matter if you see the BB that is going to delete you. If it's one BB you can always try and bait the shot before doing the actual turn. If shots are coming from multiple angles and you are the obvious target - pray to RNGsus. But really, I wouldn't care too much about this change. As a BB I like to pop off the radar before turning. So in reality I'd take more dmg before actually entering stealth in those cases. Cruisers would still have to have an escape plan in mind when engaging targets.

Do you forget about a BB when it enters stealth?

RNG will always be there but what you just described happens to me very rarely, on both ends RNG is hardly the reason for this debate, is it? So you want less RNG on BB guns?

I don't have to imagine that...I see straight line cruisers all the time.

I think that's part of the fun playing cruisers...if you want to relax a bit more play certain BB.

Missed J.D. as well, sad times Would be nice to have on my Belfast.

Bogatyr is fine ^^ Cleveland is fine, Budyonny is fine, ATL is fine, Chapa is fine...Myoko should still be ok...don't know about Pepsi but played Indianapolis recently, she's fine. Yorck is fine. New Orleans is fine. Ibuki is fine, Baltimore is fine, Graf Spee is fine. Hipper fine, Leander fine, Fiji fine, Edinburgh fine. But ofc I wouldn't mind them to be stronger/less "weak". Since I play DD, BB and cruisers I'm quite relaxed when it comes to buffing/nerfing.

I disagree, cruisers are fine, imo...

....masked as a yawn...ah, stop...it IS a yawn. My yawn. Yaaawn.

Nah, it's about OP thinking he isn't a potato anymore

I'm not Flamu, I don't have a crap ton of credits and every ship I want and I still pick the radar upgrade

Yep, it was terrible.

Welcome to the forums - yeah, it's a game for the masses.

So right into the middle of your bum. And from there the shell dived through the deck into the rear magazine.

Nvm

Don't ever be on my team...

...no? I completed that stage within 3 days without breaking a sweat. Are you sure about that...you CAN REPEAT TASKS...

For quick completion there are tasks 8 and especially 9...rest is bonus stuff.

It's good when it has a team around it that can be supported. If you lack that team - good luck. Now you might say - well easy, position yourself accordingly. Well, sometimes (often) that means, abandoning the objectives together with your fellow team mates, giving up the chance to win right from the start. What I want to say: No carry potential.
