Also Why not make US and IJN BB immune to HE spam?

Speed boost! Iowa @ 40 knots? Deal with it!

According to the interwebs perma camo will always be available, even after you sold and re-purchased the ship. It's just for one particular ship.

There are even "cheaper" versions for lower tier ships that also are permanent. For example the Yorck camo that costs 2000 db. Bottom line: Every camo that costs more than 50 db will be permanent in the current version of the game ;)

Guys, wtf.

She's a CA

Was that before or after the buffs?

Yep - those HE shells are really false advertising. I bet there's something hidden to them like the ground resistance values in WoT.

Also there will be matches where you walk away with 40-50k dmg done because RNG (fire) wasn't on your side and those tiny shells didn't do much in general.

More like 9.6 seconds

But why? 900 m/s...was talking about HE...so? Since I am way better at playing her than you - you should maybe...well, be less arrogant.

Curiously enough I just posted a replay that highlights everything you mentioned

Stay far away (but don't be out of position), use your accurate guns and fast projectiles. Thus you won't be an obvious target (don't move in obvious ways) - spam everything with HE, it's really strong (I recomment demolition expert and flags that increase your fire chance). Usually BB will give up after you dodged 1-2 salvos. If the situation allows you can go toe to toe with singled-out ships of any kind, just remember to angle and use your superior agility and fast turrets (even without the turret traverse mod it's better than for example those turrets on Japanese CA). Imo this ship works best in a support role tho, when she can fully unload. So be somewhat sneaky and again "not obvious" Up close (for me: Below 8km)AP is really strong but usually it's 100% HE spam because usually the enemy will have angled away before you finish the reload. Her AP shells seem way slower than HE (moon arcs) so it's kinda obvious why nobody will use them above a certain range. For me it's a keeper.

Her HE is very weak imo - even with 24% fire chance (on paper) it was very underwhelming. Maybe I was just unlucky.

HE spam? What? http://wowreplays.com/Replay/14706

I like her looks but I don't think I have enough spare time for another toy.

So far all Friedrichs I've seen died early and did little - latest example http://wowreplays.com/Replay/14656 So, does anyone here own one and can tell me if it's worth purchasing?

If you created a topic every time someone got salty because of some of your ingame actions you'd be at max forum rank in no time.

I don't feel like fires have become a significant problem for my BB. Most of the time they don't contribute too much to my downfall. Also, did you miss this memo in BB school?

Should have used Bot3 already feels the pressure.

Can't I? Seems I can Of course I cannot prove or disprove that player skill is influencing those stats heavily as has been claimed in this thread. That's BB gameplay for you...

Today I played through the Kaiser and König. Won't keep them - Kaiser's guns are horrible, König is matched against tier 7's (lots of CV) all the time. Now looking forward to purchasing the praised Bayern

Tbh I don't know - that NO engagement got stuck in my head but I don't remember remarkable encounters with those ships you mentioned
