    Dreadnought Era Appreciation Thread

    She is a tad OP agree. However at T3 the ships are so basic it doesn’t really matter. Orion on the other hand is so stupidly OP it hurts. What I do like about her though is that WG kept the overall appearance although they added some AA machine guns. I wish they would’ve done this for the German line. I still can’t look at Kaiser - that is how stupid that model is.

    Dreadnought Era Appreciation Thread

    I mean on the positive side, having her as a premium would be nice to get the extra benefits such as +50% XP and additional credits (plus nerf-proof). Plus T3 premiums are cheap (is it 10€ roughly?). And as she was a unique one-class ship and given her historical significance, premium would make sense. Downside is she is not yet there but I am confident she’ll make it to (WOWS) sea eventually :-) As for Bellerophon, I do like her. She is almost identical to HMS Dreadnought and was the first multi-ship Dreadnought class. So I guess once Dreadnought surfaces as a premium most enthusiasts should be appeased.

    Ashitaka Tier 7 BB is finally coming

    Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder :-) For me the clean, elegant looks of this hull look awesome. For me she is easily one of the most beautiful ships in the game.

    Fix for the camouflages

    Hmmm if they would do that I could even understand it in a way. But they don't?

    Dreadnought Era Appreciation Thread

    Fellow sailors, I guess it is time for a small update since some stuff happened in the meantime. First of all - the Royal Navy Battleship line got released. And although I am not a fan at all how they got implemented (brain-dead HE spamming battleships... really, WG what are you Smoking...?) - at least gave us some additional Dreadnoughts :-) I guess some Folks were pretty surprised that HMS Dreadnought herself didn't make her appearance yet but one can still hope for a later release as a premium ship. I included Bellerophon and the even the Fantasy refit Orion and Iron Duke in our list of appreciated ships even though they are not unaltered. I highly appreciate WG's effort to tone down these massively idiotic Fantasy refits and I thinkt they did a far better Job on the RN BBs than on our Hochseeflotte... (and yes I know, the Iron Dude is missing a funnel...) Secondly, it Looks like there will be finally a happy end with one of my favourite hulls desgns in the game which is the former Amagi A-hull - which got recently announced as a new premium ship "Ashitaka" (inital Name of Takao). With these good News I want to conclude my short update and wish you all a wonderful evening and see you at the high seas! PS: in case you are still looking for a clan - there are still open spots in the Dreadnought clan

    100% - thank you for summarizing! I am guilty for liking the purist / elegant WW1 style :-)

    Fix for the camouflages

    I don’t mind some WW2 style camo - just not a big fan of the Baltic style camo. Looks too Kriegsmarine for me. The interwar Reichsmarine used a similar pattern as the Hochseeflotte - both look good though. A lot lighter gray than the WW2 war-schemes.

    Any news on HIJMS Tone?

    That’s why you should direct the fighter on the minimap :-) Just to do the scouting - no need for striking imo

    Any news on HIJMS Tone?

    Sounds like a strange excuse to me. I am sure they could figure it out if they want to. Bigger problem is probably finding a concept that is somewhat easy to use but still makes the ship unique. I would love to see if they did something similar to what they are doing with GZ to give out and try multiple concepts to a interested player base who can buy the ship and be part of the concept finding :-)

    Any news on HIJMS Tone?

    How would it break the game? Do you mean technically or are you implying that players can’t work it out?

    Any news on HIJMS Tone?

    I think bringing her now as a normal heavy cruiser would disappoint most ppl. She was held back for so long to make her “unique” it would be hard to turn around 180 degrees. That said I believe there is a relatively simple solution to the problem. Give her two fighter 3x squads with low DPS but reasonable HP and let the player direct them on the minimal (which could be enlarged by default on this ship). No need to change into the CV top down, you keep the awareness. This would keep her role as being a scout. Two fighter squads independently controlled for the purpose of scouting (eg no strafing) would be a powerful and unique tool, justifying T8 even at the cost of a weaker main battery.

    Fix for the camouflages

    Agree with your overall objective here. What I find strange is that WG puts such effort into creating these super-detailed ship models and then slaps on these cheap skins. I don’t have a huge problem with the camos but they look indeed cartoonish and not very realistic. I like your suggestion to create “nation-specific” camo schemes that are derived from actually used camos by the relevant navy as well (although I am not fan of the German Baltic Camo - I am more in the imperial white-grey camp). +1

    Ashitaka Tier 7 BB is finally coming

    What a nice ship! And she got a reasonable range 19.9km - the old stock hull was painful with her - was it 17km?

    Ashitaka Tier 7

    Haste bei der Mutsu auch. Gerade heute in einer Kii einer Mutsu eine 40k Schelle gedrückt. Sie können natürlich die T8 Bugpanzerung anbringen, dann kann sie wenigstens anwinkeln. Ich habe die Amagi damals ausschließlich stock gespielt bis sie ihren A-Rumpf verloren hat. Bismarck Tirpitz waren zwar unangenehm aber die größten Probleme waren miese Reichweite und T9/10 Schiffe. Ich denke auf T7 sollte sie deutlich besser funktionieren und als Buff-Möglichkeiten gibt es ja noch Sigma und die Bugpanzerung. RE: Mutsu - ich habe sie vor der KII ausgiebig für Training und Retraining verwendet und war positiv überrascht, wie gut sie das gemacht hat - trotz "nur" T6. Es hat aber einen Moment gedauert sich an sie zu gewöhnen. Selbst die Selbstmord-Torpedos habe ich mittlerweile gewinnbringend einsetzen können. Schönste Erinnerung: end-game showdown gegen 1 x Bayern und 1 x NewMex. Beide mit den 41cm Nukes weggeblasen bzw. getorpt. Klappt nicht jeden Tag aber die 41cm Röhren haben es in sich (auch wenn sie unzuverlässig sind).

    Wie wär's wenn du nur für dich sprechen würdest? Ich brauche auch keine Missouri aber es gibt Leute, die sich über M. freuen. Gleiches hier, ich freue mich auf sie

    Gz test

    Thank you for your valuable contribution. On more serious note: you think it is ok to on-shot a cruiser for 30-40k damage without any effort but come here to whine about 44k you received from someone who had to work for this damage for 3-5 min...? Okeydokey... So yea - bye

    Ashitaka Tier 7

    Das ist der alte A-Rumpf. Also ja, gleicher Schornstein :-) Beim Preis muss man mal schauen aber wieso glaubst du, dass sie unspielbar wird? Glaube ich eigentlich nicht. Die Feuerkraft ist trotz der Typ 88 Granaten ja nicht zu verachten. 10 vs 8 Türme machen gefühlt einen deutlichen Unterschied. Wenn beim Test herauskommt, dass sie immer noch zu schwach ist, was durchaus sein kann, so kann WG immer noch das Sigma leicht hochschrauben, z.B. auf 1.9 - damit läge sie immer noch unter den 2.0 der Nagato aber wäre sicher "angenehmer" zu spielen. Zu den unzuverlässigen Granaten käme dann nicht noch unzuverlässige Streuung - eines der beiden Probleme, warum viele Leute Mutsu nicht mochten (inkl unserem Walther). Das andere Problem, die Verwundbarkeit werden sie wohl teilen.

    Ashitaka Tier 7

    @Walther_K_Nehring der Gürtelpanzer ist leider ihr kleinstes Problem. Viel problematischer ist die dünne Böschung gegen Steilfeuer und der dünne Bug. Das gleiche Problem hatte die Stock-Amagi damals aber auch. 25mm Bugpanzerung - Das heißt 360mm plus overmatchen? Ganz klar, das Schiff ist eher für Liebhaber. Torpedos waren übrigens ursprünglich mal geplant (Mutsu-Winkel und 2x2 650mm Aale) - mal sehen ob die bleiben. Zusammenfassung: Liebhaberschiff - wohl kaum etwas für ranked. Und ja, wenn du Mutsu nicht magst wird Ashitaka wohl auch nix für dich :-(

    Ashitaka Tier 7

    Ursprünglich waren vier 12cm Flak geplant, das wurde aber später erhöht. Es ist aber weiterhin anzunehmen, dass die Zahl noch während des Baus bis Turn Fertigstellung Mitte der 1920er Jahre weiter gewachsen wäre. Zum Schornstein: also diese Mutsu-Banane braucht wirklich niemand. Die beiden einzelnen Schornsteine sehen natürlich super aus aber das Problem bleibt die Rauchentwicklung in der Nähe der Feuerkontrolle. Ich finde den KII Schornstein daher die mit Abstand plausibelste Lösung - zumal Mutsu zur Zeit der Fertigstellung der Ashitaka bereits die Banane im schornstein hatte - das Problem also erkannt war. Folglich ist es naheliegend, die „richtige“ Lösung der Nachfolge-Klasse auf die im Bau befindlichen Schlachtkreuzer zu übertragen, statt eine Notlösung a la Mutsu zu zimmern.
