1.The one that increases accuracy because both her secndaries and AA are weak (launch the fighteronly when you see planes coming for you, it s your best air-defence) 2. Yes, I get 1-2 torp hits quite often, I would say at least 1 torp hit per game.

It s what he said, really, it reduces the DPM.

I dont need to have them to answer you, it s logic: no citadel vs big citadel, meaning you survive longer in Tirpitz, do more damage/income on average. Highest damage per battle should be Atago if you get lucky with those torps. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/29137-is-tirpitz-better-than-atago-as-a-tier-8-premium/

NA had premium Omaha for free... Obviously better than Mikasa and Diana, and because free, also better than Tirpitz.

They should not make a line based only on paper designs.

Which is just better than a team having one high tier CV and the other none.

Believe me, I know what I m talking about... I ragequitted WoT.., over 5-6 months of premium time wasted.

What is so strange? I don t feel like playing WoWs today or I have no time to play today, 1 day of premium time wasted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck#Wreckage "Wreckage Discovery by Robert Ballard Painting by Ken Marshall depicting Argo exploring the wreck The wreck of Bismarck was discovered on 8 June 1989 by Dr. Robert Ballard, the oceanographer responsible for finding RMS Titanic. Bismarck was found to be resting upright at a depth of approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft),[133] about 650 km (400 mi) west of Brest. The ship struck an extinct underwater volcano, which rose some 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above the surrounding abyssal plain, triggering a 2 km (1.2 mi) landslide. Bismarck slid down the mountain, coming to a stop two-thirds down.[134] Ballard's survey found no underwater penetrations of the ship's fully armoured citadel. Eight holes were found in the hull, one on the starboard side and seven on the port side, all above the waterline. One of the holes is in the deck, on the bow's starboard side. The angle and shape indicates the shell that created the hole was fired from Bismarck‍ '​s port side and struck the starboard anchor chain. The anchor chain has disappeared down this hole.[135] Six holes are amidships, three shell fragments pierced the upper splinter belt, and one made a hole in the main armour belt.[136] Further aft a huge hole is visible, parallel to the aircraft catapult, on the deck. The submersibles recorded no sign of a shell penetration through the main or side armour here, and it is likely that the shell penetrated the deck armour only.[137]Huge dents showed that many of the 14 inch shells fired by King George V bounced off the German belt armour.[138] Ballard noted that he found no evidence of the internal implosions that occur when a hull that is not fully flooded sinks. The surrounding water, which has much greater pressure than the air in the hull, would crush the ship. Instead, Ballard points out that the hull is in relatively good condition; he states simply that "Bismarck did not implode."[139] This suggests that Bismarck‍ '​s compartments were flooded when the ship sank, supporting the scuttling theory.[140] Ballard added "we found a hull that appears whole and relatively undamaged by the descent and impact". They concluded that the direct cause of sinking was scuttling: sabotage of engine-room valves by her crew, as claimed by German survivors.[141] Subsequent expeditions In June 2001, Deep Ocean Expeditions, partnered with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, conducted another investigation of the wreck. The researchers used Russian-built mini-subs. William N. Lange, a Woods Hole expert, stated, "You see a large number of shell holes in the superstructure and deck, but not that many along the side, and none below the waterline."[143]The expedition found no penetrations in the main armoured belt, above or below the waterline. The examiners noted several long gashes in the hull, but attributed these to impact on the sea floor.[143] An Anglo-American expedition in July 2001 was funded by a British TV channel. The team used the volcano—the only one in that area—to locate the wreck. Using ROVs to film the hull, the team concluded that the ship had sunk due to combat damage. Expedition leader David Mearns claimed significant gashes had been found in the hull: "My feeling is that those holes were probably lengthened by the slide, but initiated by torpedoes".[143] The 2002 documentary Expedition: Bismarck, directed by James Cameron and filmed in May–June 2002 using smaller and more agile Mir submersibles, reconstructed the events leading to the sinking. These provided the first interior shots. His findings were that there was not enough damage below the waterline to confirm that she had been sunk rather than scuttled. Close inspection of the wreckage confirmed that none of the torpedoes or shells had penetrated the second layer of the inner hull. Using small ROVs to examine the interior, Cameron discovered that the torpedo blasts had failed to shatter the torpedo bulkheads.[143] Despite their sometimes differing viewpoints, these experts generally agree that Bismarck would have eventually foundered if the Germans had not scuttled her first. Ballard estimated that Bismarck could still have floated for at least a day when the British vessels ceased fire and could have been captured by the Royal Navy, a position supported by the historian Ludovic Kennedy (who was serving on the destroyer HMS Tartar at the time).

I hope they will not implement full paper lines. Filling a few gapes in a line with Paperinskys is something, making a full paper line is just too much. So, no CVs.

Well, the other classes (CAs, DDs) were already loosing a lot of turrets before patch. Maybe they just balanced the BBs with the rest.

20% acquisition range is useless for most ships. For Ibuki use the -10% detectability, because it s fragile.

Lol. you lack comprehension skills, It s only about business. If WG enforces the artificial domination of 10% of the players because a class is broken, the income received from the remaining 90% will become very low. CV players can grind easily without premium, they were the first to reach tier 10, and there are no premium CVs for sale and probably will not be. And so far the most important part of WoWs income comes from CA or BB players (Tirpitz rings a bell?), not from CV players. The 10% CV players are only scaring away the most important potential clients (Tirpitz again). Expect more nerfs for the CVs in the future.

It s not a contest, you know, it always depends on a lot of factors. I m just saying that nobody would expect Furutaka to be the top scorer in a tier 7 game.

No, he is right. This is not real life, but a game that needs to be balanced to survive. As a game company you can t ask 90% of the players in this game to accept to be the underscorers and in the same time to pay for content. And the balance in real life is totally diferent from what you think, with the resources to build a carrier you could build 30 destroyers (the most UP ship in game now), and a carrier alone could not survive the attack of 30 destroyers. If you insist on strict realism in game, then a DD should have 30 lifes while a CV just one.

I had arround 1300 base XP in a Furutaka in the tier 7 game I mentioned, you had arround 1500 XP but in a tier 5 game, so I guess it s possible.

If not, minelayers will be more OP than CVs.

Yes, but next time it will be a 100 euro package with gold, premium time, flags, free camo and a dog.

The firing arc is not too good. I have AFT on Isokaze and I m wondering if I should not change it.

I ve just been the best player in my team in a tier 7 game game (win) in Furutaka.

And of course WG will listen to the BB mafia. Have you seen any Tirpitz arround? At 60 euro price, WG got a good income from BB mafia.

No, you dont have the speed and manevrability of Wyoming, but worse. And you tend to be farmed first by CVs.

Ram the bastards! Ram!

No, tier 9 and 10 received no nerfs yet.

When battle starts, first thing to do hit 2.
