Agree. Siegfried also needs the accuracy buff the German BBs got T7+

Thanks for putting this together - honestly it feels like there is little variety though. One obvious difference is GZ secondary skill although it’s a meme by itself. Torp buffs are nice Concealment nerf is crap Bonuses of standard skills mostly cut in half Mostly an overall nerf with some pluses on the torp side

The B/C Stuka did use a Jumo 210 which is basically an equivalent to the Kestrel. You are probably referring to the Jumo 211 Variants which are larger and more powerful. Actually the later Stukas (“D”) in fact used the larger 211. Basically the Jumo 211 isn’t far off the DB high performance engines but are more rugged and heavy.

Plus consumable fighter

Eg. I have (RF/TB/DB): - Ryujo (27/24/24) - Shokaku (27/26/24) - Hakuryu (24/34/28) That is controllable planes and excluding the stupid consumable fighters - so yes: Shokaku is pretty close to her historical complement

Has been discussed over and over - basically strike planes equal to RTS / real loadouts considering an average 15min match time. Rocket fighters roughly match fighter complement and on top the CV gets the fighter Consumables. So basically the number of planes is same as in RTS or for real loadouts plus the fighter consumable on a broader picture. However some carriers - especially low tiers - benefit quite a bit by getting many more planes than historical. And these are probably the ones you met in your Orion

On which CV line are you trying that build?

This forum will never cease to amaze! First twey complain for ages that skilling into AA does have too little impact When it does - they complain about the (almost offensive) need to invest skill points (!) THIS IS AWESOME! That’s showbiz!

Dir ist aber schon klar, dass die Türme nach achtern zeigen oder?

Everything you summarize is correct. The reason though is that WG made the economy a bit relaxed in their eyes - compare it to Gajin for example. Now - instead of tackling the broken high tier silver economy WG in their infinite wisdom decided to butcher the free Captain XP concept instead. Because it basically devalues any 19 pointer we have. It’s indeed disgusting

Simple answer - no we don’t. You are specifically mentioning battlecruisers - of which we only have Prinz Eitel Friedrich, which is a WG modernized Mackensen, in the game so far. It is commonly believed within this community that we will get a line of British and German Battlecruisers in the future. In MM terms they would most likely be Battleships though. However there is no official statement of and when they will make it into the game. Currently WG is sadly busy with pumping out T8-10 Premium ships as these have a higher price tag

You sir are one of the reasons why WG is going crazy on the increase of needed XP to get to level 21

Well actually no. You are mixing in team composition now. But regardless - as both teams face the same composition - that part isn’t relevant. It is simply a fact that the more of the actions you control the more you can influence the outcome of the match. And in a 2 CV per team scenario your relative influence is smaller. Imagine two unicum CVs against yourself and a full CV idiot. You may very well lose the race then. Whereas if there is one per side the better player automatically has a positive impact on the match outcome. Now being a BB out of four makes your relative impact on the game even smaller

It matters because as a CV you have 100% of the CV related decisions of your team under your control. And if you are a good player you benefit from that and can boost your WR.

It is rather obvious that WG aims to devalue the captain XP as apparently too many of us have too much of this. Although free captains exp is one of the best things WG introduced to the economy in my opinion

Der Kaiser lässt es sich nicht nehmen zum Abgang des langjährigen Kanzlers eine Seine gefürchteten Reden zu halten. Entgegen der Ängste seiner Berater brüskiert der Kaiser dieses Mal allerdings weder seine Verbündeten noch seine potentiellen Gegner direkt. Dem Reich geht es gut, der geplante Verrat des rechten Flügels konnte rechtzeitig aufgedeckt werden - hat aber manch einen ins Grübeln gebracht. Auch alte Kameraden waren darin verwickelt - manch einer mag dem Konzept des Blocks mit Frankreich zudem nach wie vor nicht über den Weg trauen (oder es gar für eine Verleumdung der eigenen Geschichte halten). Aber der Wohlstand und die Lage des Reiches geben dem scheidenden Kanzler 10 Jahre nach der Zäsur der Aussöhnung recht. Der Kaiser spricht daher vor allem von Wohlstand und Stabilität. Äußerst wohlwollend hebt er dann aber trotzdem noch die Passagen hervor, in der Marx von Spricht. Es dürfte kein Geheimnis sein, dass dies immer ein Anliegen von W2 war - er es allerdings während seiner Regentschaft mit wenig diplomatischen Mitteln in die Welt zu tragen versucht hatte. Nun, da er keine direkte regierende Funktion mehr hat sondern als Konstitutioneller Monarch eher als Nationale Identität, Vater der Nation und Stimme der Moral auftritt, kann er diese Entwicklung überschwänglich loben. Stresemanns Nachfolger wünscht er eine starke Hand, einen scharfen Verstand und allzeit ein glückliches Händchen. Zu tun gibt es genug!

It is relatively simple - if there are 4 BBs per team you exercise 25% of the class influence - i.e. you decide on 1/4 of all the actions this class is supposed to perform within the match. And second there is a “relative class influence” which is not a single hard figure but a combined and weighted number characteristic to a class. While it will be close to impossible to have everyone agree on the exact weighting the results of relative battle influence per class will not be wildly deviating. In other words: yes they are 11 other players. But missing the “relative class influence” of one of the classes will make your team’s life much harder. Think of a game where all your DDs die within three minutes and the enemy has three left. Will be a terrible uphill battle.

You mentioned WR specifically. And as you know it is usually only one single CV per team which in turn means you exercise 100% of your class influence in the match. It is absolutely inevitable due to this that you can boost your WR easily in a CV as long as you are above average (the only exception to this simple truth would be if the class influence would be zero - which it is not). But it doesn’t tell you if the class is overperforming compared to other classes. I am sure you know that but the statements are completely misleading. As with any number or indicator you have to know what it means to draw any useful information from it

Don’t pretend you don’t understand simple numbers and how they work together

I don’t understand why we are discussing this once more? CVs do have a high battle influence - that can be measured and WG is monitoring this KPI. But that is not a problem by itself - one class has to be the most influential. Second by the way is the DD class. And in games without CV the DD is the only matchwinning class - much more than the CV in matches with all four classes. It’s rather obvious that DDs don’t want their privileges to be cut down. And CVs are certainly limiting the DDs possibilities and freedom more than the other two classes. But all of that has been discussed over and over again - none of that will change the different opinion on this matter. So what is the question here?

“I want to have full control over who is spotted and when. I want to move around on the map at my free will. I decide when a fight take place and if at all. I decide what Caps are taken and when. I am the master of skills. I am the Center of the universe. Sincerely yours, a DD-Main” (and you may add: sometimes it comes in handy to take a BB-monkey with me to dispose pesky radar cruisers - but if he does it is also my skill as I spotted that thing and directed the fire)

Even if - you could ask yourself of you would prefer what I described or what WG has in mind.

Now what I describe is a possible way to implement subs into the game. But yes - I would make sub gameplay closer to DD rather than SSN. Torpedo Boats with the special ability to dive for a (rather limited) time If under attack
