USSR BBs in general: + Among the most tanky ships at their tiers when played correctly. + Fast damage control party cooldown. + Excellent turret traverse at high tier. + Noticeably improved accuracy at closer ranges relative to other BBs + Good speed, acceleration and rudder shift - High citadels. - Limited damage control party charges - One less heal charge relative to other BBs(and it's a standard heal) - Slower reload relative to other BBs - Very random, inconsistent long range accuracy. - Maximum ranges are relatively short. - Massive turning circle radii So what you get out of this line are powerful, durable ships capable of absorbing a lot of punishment, specialising at punishing enemies at closer ranges as opposed to long.

I agree - imo there is more transparency, but It's about mindset. Too many players have come to see WG as the ultimate evil, determined to destroy their fun, steal their cash, make USSR great again, etc. at any cost. And so, even if there might be more transparency, there is a certain vocal bunch who will never believe it, and never trust it, no matter what.

If secret nerfs is the answer they are looking for, then secret nerfs is the answer they will find, to the point of taking a joke out of context and calling it truth. That's how it works.

Why am I not surprised.

LICH KING - COMBAT MOSH(2012) A nice wall of death. \m/ Too bad some people don't understand how to mosh, or lack basic etiquette. Or you get some idiot flailing his arms around, kicking, or straight-up attacking you. Lot's of footage of those bully kids in the Hardcore-punk scene who just want to hurt people.

IIRC He is permanently chat banned, so he has an unfair advantage

So with close to 500 I guess I'm the Karma God-Emperor Get on my level scrubs

Tana can't we have a sticky thread about how reporting and chat banning, etc. works? I mean, we have threads like these popping up all the time, with people confused about how the system works. Especially with regards to chat bans.

What?! Muh Immersion. Also I find them relaxing. Some islands look like home, really.

I have between 400 - 500 karma IIRC? Honestly I just don't care. Nobody should. The system isn't perfect but reporting as far as chat violations are concerned is not useless though, as has been explained by both mods and actual staffers in the countless, near daily threads about this already. Just do your thing, don't worry about Karma, don't be an [edited]in chat, and you won't even know it's there, really. At this point I think we could do with a sticky thread explaining how reporting/chat banning works.

Don't play these tiers much but as guilty pleasures: - Yubari - Mikasa. Big time. - Dreadnought with jingles - Varyag

I thought about it, but I'm in the middle of branch resets(yuck) for another ship and I want to save some FXP. Probably after that.

IIRC the Brit T2 cruiser, so Weymouth

I could be wrong but If he hit you with his 2 other salvos after going pink, wouldn't he have received a harsher penalty? Repeated team damage after going pink will result in a ban no? Maybe shoulda let him hit you

I gotta say Never had a game quite like this before I got a game right away, while the other guy had been waiting 6 minutes. That's some funny MM

This. And I seem to have heard this explanation somewhere before.

Hm, TiTs pen is virtually the same as the bombs, 68mm. IIRC the weakest, exposed(not covered by other plating) cit armour in this spread is Smolensk with 70mm. Unless I'm forgetting a ship? I never cited anything with HE bombers or rockets at this tier though.

No, Audacious bombs won't ever manage to cit anything in it's spread. Because of the way HE works, for them to cit the citadel roof must be exposed(ie have not deck armour above it, no superstructure, etc) and have 41mm protection or less. OR, the bombs have to impact the side(possible) and meet said <41mm citadel plating directly(Impossible) There is no scenario at T8-10 where cits can occur with these. In fact, there is no scenario where you can score a cit with the vastly superior Midway DBs and their excellent 67mm pen either.

No, never. The 6k dmg listed in the stats is maximum damage, which only happens if the bombs citadel a target. Given these are HE bombs with 41mm pen, plus the armour schemes of all ships it meets, even if somehow they all hit(also never) they will never do 108,000 damage in a drop. Optimistically you can expect around 12-14k damage at most with these bombs on one drop - assuming the target has copious amounts of sub-41mm plating(Republique or Montana), has a large enough surface area, and is damage-unsaturated. And, you are able to line up a perfect drop bow to stern. Again, that's being optimistic. Usually you will get far less direct damage.

It's an enemy Audacious. So that's 18 bombs per drop(6x3). The animation is not wrong. They're doing direct damage depending on where they hit, they have 41mm pen. Otherwise, they're shattering.

Stalin is pretty meh unless you're seeking to be active in competitive. Then, it's the best to have out of the 3 as a first pick. If you like fun and don't care about your PR then go for Bourgogne, it's very enjoyable to play. No comment on Shikishima for now, but it's not superior to Yama, I'll tell you that much.
