Well that's true.But all T5/6 cruisers suffer from that But on the upside : She has range and more importantly the gun stats to relyable hit up to max range. She is the better crew trainer of the 2 frensh T6. She is somewhat unique trading the Med range bofors of her tech tree equivalent for DP main guns. She handles well and is responsive.

​Better captain Trainer than that crap frensh BB? Ist frensh not german?

Well she has the range thogh T6 are filler ships that oten get uptired so that T8 BBs something to murder....better than Duca thanks to her 16.2 km range..... Be Aware her main guns are AA too while the tech trees versions are not....

​Der hat aber auch 3 Kreuzer im Gegner Team die 0 einfluss haben auf was jenseits der 12 km marke los ist......die Viecher sind Mörder in Close range Bereich aber sie sind auch schnecken und haben miese Reichweite.....

​No? But personal perception can be screwed at time. I personally dont really like Flamu but he knows how to get something out of a ship most mof the time? Reinforcing a opinon by comparing it to better Players your are critical about can help to form a more compleate Picture?

​Take a look at yesterdays Flamu vid. The AP works on BBs too if unangled. Baltimore and des can make their AP ork at better angles too. The real question is like Aotearas allready toched upon is that WG probably is afraid that giving it better bounce angles make them too good and pushes US out of its role.

​If you reffer the the historical datasheets be advised Hood was shown with Torpedo Arment...the datas on them means very Little....

Sure it increases your damage but it sucks compared to the good german AP damage wich in turn is totaly unrelyable because ist only works on near perfect boarside. Ad to that they add more and more Long range HE spamer with the frensh (and RU) were is the advange? You get closer that other are allready do better by the fact that when they hit zones that dont shatter teh Shells they do masivly more damage. Add to that they are pretty visible AND slugish. Sure you have good hp but that only carries you so far...cant coment on Hindenburg but Zao is low rof but the arcs are insane coming from Ibuki ​So ist a Buff...but will it makes them competetiv? Its like Hood geting ist AA rockets when most rather live with a weakness vs CV and get relyable guns instead....who asked for a HE buff most find that out of character.....

​Hood struggle to cit any BB both are basically cruiser killer. Hood had decent armor as long as angled Scharnhorst is MUCH more agile and Packs a Punch at Close range with good 2edarys and Torps thogh at closer range you can eat quite sone damage if the enemy aims above the armor belt.....I find Scharnhorst the better dpm ship in most situations. Hood can potential soaks up more damage but my main fear vs a Hood in a Nagato Colerado would be that she rams me were i respect a rushing Scharnhorst as more of a real threat .from her normal arment.....

​Its not really a buff it only let you do some damage were HE normaly shatters. The fact that german HE does pityfull damage dont Change. thogh now there are ships that dont shatter on Khabas belt (wich is rediculess for 203mm HE on a DD anyhow) Still at York but have Prinz cant say im in a hurry to get Hipper ..too visible and slugish. If your want to doge BB Shells you have to take ruder but that makes you visible leading to every BB on the map Shooting at you wich negates any Agility .....The Problem is german CA are tanky at closer range but nobody shoots AP on angled ships they just burn you down and at Long range plunging fire negates you decent armor..........

Give her Shima torps (12km), US smoke, spotter plane and Shiratsuyus torpedo reload consumeable. Would make her much more enjoyable in TX matchmaking and would balance her rather bad surviveability. #WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong ​Was she more visible than Kuma? she can fit a stealth module and she had smoke..... TheCinC, on 08 June 2017 - 07:07 PM, said: Again, this is the English forum, please use English here, German is allowed in the German subforum. And the Kitakami isn't here yet, it hasn't been seen since CBT, or Open Beta at the latest. ​Not strictly true she was out for a short while as a loan ship in one of the 1st ranked Seasons as a reward i think...

​Well FdG is too big for me and high Level maps are to open..even if you fund cover ist not only Long but also wide. I had never Problems with unwieldy ships not even Izumo and Yama but this ? I lose 50%HP before i even get into any positon most of the time. beining big and high tir meta dont mix too well probably should gor for a steath build instead of Berserker one.... Bismark is certainly more forgiving thogh if someone only has that one Point captain he cant unlook the full potential... than again with free captain ext geting at least a 10 Point one isnt too hard.....

​Who says you dont had as many leveling the line? Granted to Play Bismark wrong you Need to be really not geting BBs at all but even i with over 6k games have ships i really suck at (FdG for example) while playing oithers decently..... With the Minium requirements and teh target numbers to get to bismark you Need to have at least a Minium Level of game understanding to compleate all up to Bismark. Puting up a T8 prem BBs certainly gets you more unskilled Players who should never Play at that Level yet than with this Event...

Dan blended mal die gunconfigs bei der Kagaro aus....zumal HSF camos weniger idiotisch sind als z.b. Seele des Ozeans

​Please no.... dont look a ship like her as a reward. Im fine if you had too Research all IJN CA AND DDs to get her but dont give her out only to a few selected ....... either something renonable or dont giver her out at all. Same with Musashi nobody cares about object xyz or desigh study y even if they are rediculess OP but dont bar real ships that everyone wants to colect behind Things that normal Player canot get to.......

​Naja Zepelin kommt ja auch noch das jahr vielleicht mit 1000KG AP Bomben ....waehre ca 18k Cits pro treffer ..hoffen wir mal das sie nicht alle tirs verschandeln....naja T4/5 Cvs werden sich ja nicht verkaufen mit nur click atacks....

​Naja wird wohl 10-20% rabat Aktionen geben wie mit allen anderen Schiffen zum richtigen Zeitpunkt

Frage mich was er sagt wen er Hood hat und feststellt das sie nur mitttelmaß ist und nicht DAS Schalachtschiff ist........ Naja zumin kann man in ihr die Bismark Versenken....

​Das haben CC gesagt da wird nix generft höchtens sie nichtmehr auserhalb eines 150 euro packets um Wheinachten angeboten. Wobei sie ja Belfast auch ok und balanced finden......

Well how would you feel if they added Bernardo O'Higgins but didnt added the Brooklyn class or a year later ? with Murmansk and Ashan and Loyang there were the parent Navy ships allready in the game. Thats what im woried about. Of Course i want the British heavy cruisers too and not just as comonwealth versions.....

Radar has around 9 km range. If you want to get a Torp hit on a BB you need to get to 7 km.... you see the Problem? If BBs would take 5 min plus to wreck a DD like CA need vs BBs it would be acceptable so it isn't

They worked pretty well in the anti ship role. I think there are some materials on the net with the detailed damage these bombs did during one of illustrious? Malta runs. AA were never really that efective they were just siting ducks to any kind of Fighter.

Aurora would suck not a fan of the original navy not geting a ship while some pan Asia does. Dont mind a Murmansk situation but not pan Asia exclusive...

Dont change the fact that most of the time your in the sure hit zone for BBs even in a nibble ( but rather large) ship like Duca. Point is they could normalize the range like they did with BBs or the speed of CV Aircrafts. Whats the point if you fight even same class ships that a level higher or 2 have a 3 km plus advantage?

Tryed to play Duca in a T8 match? BBs have the range to provide mid to long range suport. A 12ish km CL without smoke is pretty much scewed
