indeed she is sexy stock...nagato as well (but i also prefer the strait funnels)

20 years jump from tier to tier is still very drastical. stock kongo with no aa would still meet carriers and thats not ideal and probably the main reason why she is gone. there has to be better solution

nice shots...will read later but that eagle camo is just face palm

the historical problem with in-game camo is that it combines elements of 2 stages of bismarck's appearance which were not present at the same time - dark turret tops, bare superstructure she may look like that for a moment (for a few days perhaps), but there is no evidence for that...and also the stripe thickness is wrong (also the overall shade of gray is a bit darker but that may be just my impression)

sorry. i didnt see the "british carrier" option...mea culpa

where is cv option? sadly these ships get less and less attention

well...how does this opinion matters? is it someone from the staff or what?

well at least we know they are aware of the issue... i am rather happy that they will focus more to make the timeline more consistent (thats what ive been asking for) and i understand that they chose to focus on ww2 at first place. in time there may be more room for pre1920-stuff to do the real justice for these ships. pre1920 ships just need their own enviroment...lets hope

i hoped that there will bethe option to turn off icons of sunken ships on the minimap...so maybe next time...

they should not get citadels (because there is a lot of armor under the turrets), but penetration damage through their bows - wg will reduce the values to allow overmatches.... if im understand it correctly...hopefully what that should do is that you will not be unvulnerable bow on, but enemy bb can still slowly chop your hp - this will make you move

ah. so only the values for structural plates and not the armor will be changed (soft american bows)...ok then. same deal with the dd's "armour" then got it...thumbs up then EDIT: i meant dd's "armour"/plating of course

what? so wg temper with real armor values? or does this apply only to paper ships? wtf... nooo...you can not do that wargaming. i told many times. if you want steampunk fantasy game, make it steampunk fantasy. but if you want to sell scharnhorsts, tirpitzes, arizonas - deal with them as they are/were

pain to balance armored cruisers...i wonder what wg will do about that - pretty much same problem as with pre-dreadnoughts txtspeak, on 19 September 2016 - 10:22 AM, said: absolutely nein. deutchland class were made in 1929, way before the scharnhorst. not to mention, the french dunqirque was made to counter deutchland class and the scharnhorsts were made to counter the dunqirque so that agree. tier 5 is imho ideal place for them and in fact enviroment for which were these ships designed. at tier 5 they will still meet slow bbs and cruisers which they can deal with. above tier 7 - there are cruisers which would torn them apart and fast battleships which they would not outrun.

if wg will ever introduce submarines i hope they will add rms lusitania as premium to confirm that they have no common sense whatsoever

i prefer to not intruduce them. if you want to enjoy submarine warfare there is no better solution than silent hunter series. this game just cant handle them without being completely stupid and unrealistic

doesnt sound like fun to me... and you wouldnt be able to escape any ship with hydro/sonar. wg would need to model sea bottom, thermal layers, add depth charges...so many things which will affect only subs so many problems to figure out...and we have still carriers not working properly

yeaaaah

there is just no way to implement them without radically alter their irl behavior - otherwise they wont be fun. look at steel ocean how arcadey they were implemented. i surely dont want that. but whoever did those pics - thumbs up

i found out that albany is still available for purchase on russian server ...but no pun intended of course. i love her. so beautiful. i wouldnt sell her

well northern light are supposed to be at polar night. thats something different

strom urcite neuvidime. rok 1918 zacina zhruba na tieru 4 a to je datum konce rak-uh namornictva. navic co se bitevnich lodi tyce, tak monarchie mela jedinou tridu dreadnoughtu a s pred-dreadnoughty si momentalne wg nevi rady (mikasa je jedina). nejaky premiovy kriznik nebo torpedoborec by se objevit mohl

i am afraid of that too...but that would be...wow...what words to choose (but at least they could introduce ww1 hull for stock kaiser then...but still) but it doesnt seem to me that KA is so much op. still one way to nerf him is to not allow him full broaside (firing with opposite turret across the hull). i read somewhere that irl this option was not used since it put lot of stress on the hull - because of that the area next to the turret was filled with lifeboats so firing that way was not even possible. these lifeboats would probably also restrict the turret from firing directly front/back which would limit the firing arc even more. note that wg decided put these boats on top of the turrets so their arc is not limited (still current model has only the holders)

hmmm...just wonder. do you know how long na server waited for mikasa? i think it was more than 9 days...dont want to be sceptic though

wait...i believe only stock bismarck is historical. second upgrade adds some fantasy aa...right? EDIT: or is the second hull according to tirpitz? im not sure now...

strong AA is weird decision since german aa was rather mediocre or poor irl. this is balance decision by wg to compesate for poor torp potection i guess - but as a result of this decision they need to introduce fictional refits for german bbs so that their aa is strong enough
