Das neue Icon der König Albert mit der Tarnung ist schön :-)

Wieso gute Nacht? Sie hat super Torpedos und riesen alpha der AP wenn es denn mal scheppert. Ich denke aber auch, dass manch einer fluchen wird wg des "besonderen" Spielstils der sich so langsam abzeichnet

Disagree that T3-6 are OP. However Kawachi is UP while SC is ok imo. But agree that AA is too strong and Hydro not really needed - less versatile would potentially encourage more team play.

Denke sie werden vergleichbar

There will be four new lines in 2017. BBs probably RN (hope not USSR...) One or two CA/CL (either France or Italy would be my guess) One or two DD lines - my guess France France already has a premium so it's not unlikely they make their appearance next year with one or even two lines. At minimum I would expect an Italian premium ship but hopefully also the first branch.

Didn't WG indicate that RN BBs are in production? (2017 summer I guess?) Wouldn't it be fun if WG would launch the British Battlecruisers first and the slow line later? I mean the BC concept was truely Brit ? T3 Invincible T4 Lion T5 Tiger T6 Renown T7 Hood/Admiral T8 merge into BB Line - KGV T9 Paper T10 Paper I would certainly play that line. "Flavour": no armour, high speed, big guns, consumable "fast firing boost" at the cost of higher detonation risk.

Didn't they indicate RN BBs are in production? That would mean that these would be the 2017 BB line (don't think there will be multiple). For Christmas: - German Destroyers - SMS Seydlitz & Queen Mary in a bundle - Graf Spee

Nice new Koenig Albert Icon with the beautiful camo :-)

Kennt ihr einen Vulkan-Werft Entwurf SK22??? SK war doch eigentlich das Kürzel für die schnellen Grokampfschiff Entwürfe im Kaiserreich...? PS: Ich stimme absolut zu, dass sie hier einfach ein reales Schiff hätten nehmen können. Habe das Gefühl, dass WG Projekte gleichwertig zu realen Schiffen sieht. Nicht meine Meinung aber ok. Finde die Auswahl aber trotzdem gut. Ach ja... Premium: S-113 auf Tier 5 bitte ;-)

Takeda92 (I believe it was him) posted that there are rumours on the RU forum that "Ernst Gaede" is a destroyer project called SK22 by Vulkan. SK is a bit of a weird abbreviation for a DD as it used to indicate a large fast fighting ship design in the Imperial Navy. However, anyone ever heard of such a design?

Are specifically referring to Gneisenau and Bismarck? I mean survivability is the line's characteristic usually at the cost of firepower. And I think it was a good choice to counter the sniper-heavy meta. While they might be convenient to play (also for beginners which is also good to extend the player base) I wouldn't call the line OP. If single ships in the line are over performing it needs to be looked at (a while ago WG indicated that high tiers are a little strong but no conclusion as far as I know). But this endless "everyone and their mother is OP" whining is a little thin

Falls Du von den Deutschen Kreuzern sprichst - nein die sind nicht schlecht. Manche sind zwar im Verhältnis besser als andere auf das Tier bezogen aber insgesamt gut ausbalanciert. Und ein paar echte Juwelen sind auch dabei.

And you are shooting double citas with every single salvo...? Just compare the higher damage GER BBs inflict to the higher damage they receive. Kind of in balance with the others

I guess the OP has a strange way of saying that the long lance should have its legitimate role in WOWS. His examples (40000 dmg on GER torps is plain nonsense) are questionable but he has a point. I agree that BB sniping is kind of annoying in the game (high tiers) and I agree with the fact that the Long Lance should be the strongest torpedo compared to others. So if the long lance is weak, the others should be weaker. Also I am annoyed by the fact that THE IJN weapon is nerfed beyond any needs. I guess there would need to be a GLOBAL torpedo rebalancing that keeps the overall characteristics without the need for 100% accuracy.

Wobei die Doku an sich krass gefärbt ist... Naja wenn man die Geschichte kennt in Ordnung sonst eher geht so

The famous V-(ulkan) rockets...

Really? Wasn't it reduced before release or am I wrong? What's the absolute dispersion at let's say 10 and 15km compared to Arizona? Arizona feels VERY accurate for a BB and Koenig also better than eg. Kaiser.

Completely OT but both the Imperial and the Kriegsmarine were very conservative forces. In fact the lack of triple turrets for BB main guns was because of design conservatism rather than lack of engineering capacity. Focus was on survivability (v. Tirpitz: "a ship's first and foremost task is to stay afloat"). In contrast the British RN and the Imperial Japanese Navy were very innovative for their time. And lastly "Germany was always technology advanced" - yes and no. At that time leading in science but conservative in Arms production. These super weapons that everyone has in mind, like jet-powered stealth bombers and assault rifles with night vision scope were only given a try once the overall situation was dire enough and didn't play a huge role in the overall planning. Sorry for OT

Ev1n hat sich zur "Ernst Gaede" geäußert. Er hat zwar nicht gesagt, welches Projekt sich dahinter verbirgt aber sehr wohl, dass WG sich auch hier (wie bei den Deutschen BBs) die künstlerische Freiheit nimmt Konfiguration anzupassen. Daher wird das Schiff ein fröhlicher Mix aus allem möglichen sein. Das Gute an den Fantasie Schiffen ist, dass sie meistens gute Werte haben.

She's good at midrange but can brawl amazingly in favourable conditions. However you can't force it as good as in a German BB because of a lack of good armour. Her guns can be outright amazing but at times will fool you so bad that you want to scrap the whole ship. She wasn't really ever my favourite ship and I finally sold her for credits to buy the Hindenburg. Nagato is not a bad ship but I feel by now she was surpassed by the new lines somehow. On the other hand she still got these guns that can dish out these insane volleys - if RNG is with you :-)

So ich habe mir die Gute jetzt trotzdem zugelegt nachdem das durchleveln auf der ROON wie eine Vergnügungskreizfahrt war :-) Die HINDENBURG bekommt allerdings einen neuen Kapitän nachdem der (Secondary Build) Kapitän auf der ROON bleibt. Ich habe die neue noch nicht getestet aber ihr scheint bei ihr alle auf DE zu gehen? Ist das die beste Skillung für die HINDENBURG? Welchen 5er Skill nutzt ihr?

Hmm.., was haltet ihr eigentlich von den V-förmigen Doppelwerfern auf T2-4? Ich hoffe nicht, dass man die nur im Weiteinkel schießen kann? Und zu Ernst Gaede - Z-31 passt nicht. Wg. Turmaugstellung und Brückenforn (rund auf dem T6er). Könnte also ein modifiziertes Beuteschiff (z.B. NL) oder ein Paüierschiff / Vorläufer der Z1934/36 Modelle sein?

Shinonome :-) And the German DDs

Jungs... Nu schaut euch die Eimer doch erst mal an :-) Die Auswahl ist doch sehr schön und wg. Kaliber folgt WG doch hier der Entwicklung (8.8 - 10.5 - 12.7 - kurze 15er und letztlich dann die bessere 12.8cm Flak). Ergibt doch Sinn erstmal.

Nana ... Für's erste... Dann kommen ja noch die Schlachkreuzer, evtl ein Kreuzer Split, usw. Genug Schiffe für viele Jahre. Allerdings werden dann erstmal die anderen Marinen kommen (Italien, Frankreich, England, etc)
