how was Bismark in a sorry state by 1941? She had only been in commission for10 months and this was her first operational Cruise after work up! she was in Tip Top condition when she met Hood! Granted by the battle she was sunk she was in a poor state due to damage from action and numerous attacks.

mmmmm Tier 1 are almost all Late 30s early 40s patrol and escort gunboats. I guess as introduction ships Eirie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie-class_gunboat Launched 1936 Hashidat launched 1939. By tier 5 we are well in the realms of post WW1 ships that were still serving in WW2. HMS Warspit in game is effectively a new ship built in 1937 as her Modifications were Very Very extensive. Jap CA Kuma Served till 1944 Furutaka(6 single turrets) was her configuration before 1936 refit American Omaha served till 1945 Both the tier 5 and 6 CV were not even launched till 1942 USS new york in game Top hull is 1942 Configuration Of the DD's in game All the tier 3+ served in WW2. Need i go on

From what i have read the main issue with RN is WW2 or at least the start. Even though the RN pioneered the Central gun control. Indeed the high gun control of the Admiral class ships (NELSON/RODNEY) was copied by many navies. For some reason there Gunnery Doctorin was for individual Turrets to lay own Guns. This was an issue in the Battle of Denmark Straight. Where the front turrets Gun sights (on the turrets) were impaired by spray.

Old chap I was about to flame you for your fact finding. Its unusual for someone on this forum to admit a mistake when the facts are provided +1 to you sir...

as you said above Source please????????????????If you are going to make Such statments... .. ..... ......... .............. ..................... ........................... Well only because I hope said source will give us a Clue of what ships they will be...

WOW 1 to the many DD's complaint thread I do actually agree with.. Should there always be the same number of DD/BB/CA in a each team? Hell no! But the variance should be about 30% so if 1 team has 4 of any class of ship the other team should have between 3 and 6 of that class of ship. Though such games as the above are very rare i think

You are correct i did not like the Bogue Either (independence not much better). But the Langley fighters are also better then the Jap Tier 4. Was just pointing out to him the the American CV are better plane killers than Jap ones at lower tiers

well according to http://gamemodels3d.com/worldofwarships/vehicles/japan there a total of 4 ARP Battleships in the game files and 1 Cruiser. so im not surprised

Not going to comment about buffs or nurfs!!!!!! but if you want a carrier for the ARP Kongo missions (Kill 150planes) the american ones in a fighter configuration would suet you better

How long were you waiting in match maker. This is not a problem with the MMits a problem with no one in Que in Tier 1-2 and few in 3 and 4. When playing low tiers if match making is taking time, Lets say 30secs the likely hood is you will be bottom tier. In tanks Rule of thumb is abort matchmaker after 1 min if you rely do not want to be bottom tier

To be honist i was hoping this would happen!!! if you start higher you miss all the flags and rewards for going up the ranks. Myself i never reached rank five kept getting within 1 gameof rank 6 and then regresing

Cheers

question from an idiot! this ships we get is it permanent or just for the Event? also Fires! for the Emden mission i used my independence then Ranger. Those DB are great for fires 2 games almost 30 fires

you miss understand me! you said BBs cant hit a barn door! I was just pointing out your hit ratio with shells from BB is 4 times you torp hit ratio. It was in no way a criticiseum .. any way the Błyskawica in my opinion has the best balance of torps to guns of any DD up to tier 7 (not played above! and those Russion Torps are SOOOOOOO OP.....

Looking at your BBs and DDs your hit rate on you BB guns is about 4X you DD torp hit rate...

comparing 1 shel to 1 torpedo is irrelevant! lets look at Tier 6 DD(mutsuki) and Tier 6 BB (Warspite) the DD launches her 6 torps and has to wait 75 seconds to launch again.In that time Warspite can get of 3 salvoes so 24 shells. The shells are much harder to avoid travel much faster. so 1 torp is about the equivalent of 4 shells. and note I picked the BB at tier 6 with the fewest guns. Fuso and New mexico have 12 guns.

The beta and Alpha Ships will remain exclusive The Gremmi/Sims and Yubari are not Beta ships they were a bundle to buy in to beta....

Or shooting back

Go read about the sinking of the Yamato and come back here. The first wave of the attack was 280 DB and TP of these they scored 23 hits on Yamato and the Cruiser Yahagi plus some more against a DD Cant find anywhere how many hit the DD. Of the 19 hits on the Yahagi 18 of them were after the first Torp hit that stopped her dead in the water Cant find the numbers of Bombers in the subsequent waves.

I gave no issue doing Ranging shots. 2 As already stated you have the complicated target reticle that gives you the lead time needed. AS for your A,B ,C D.. C on a Torp Launch is bigger by a hole order of magnitude. Flight of shells is in the 5s of seconds at the worst Torps can be in the Mins!!

in tanks its Dificult as there are many Pref MM tanks and Scouts get a higher tier Spread than the rest. But is Ships there is no reason WG could not sort this as there is only 1 ship (Aurora) that gets Pref Match making and the spread for All classes is the same. Solution in ships is simple. Divs can only be Same tier!

Not seen this but sounds like LAG next time this happens Note you Frames per second and Ping

Dunno where you get that the only tier US has advantage is tier 5.. At tier 6 the japs can have 20 aircraft in the air to US 18. The Jap tier 6 with 3 fighter wings can hold its own against and Indis 2 squadrons if fighters and the 1DB and 1 TB give is a reasonably effective Ship attack role. IF Indi has Bomber or 1,1,1, load out you will own him. Alos worth noting US Tier 6 fully upgraded has air group of 37 planes Jap CV has 49 aircraft in airgroup.

No I don't believe so! but maybe getting access to the archives is more difficult I think the main issue is jut the amount of data there.

This has been brought up many many times and apart from the obviase (Game produced in same city as Russian main Naval Base). The Russian German DD/CA tech trees are relatively easy to construct as there a few ships to choose from. RN tech tree will be very complicated with a HUGE amount of documents to review. (there are over 40 Main DD classes compatible with the game time period alone. and if we look at Classes called something different but very similar there are many more
