there are actually numerous designs for a battlecruiser as well...

voted for Scharnhorst, hasitated between her and Hood...missing Iowa/Missouri, Roma, Bismarck, Amagi, Nagato, Gneisenau, Prinz Eugen, Algérie, Abruzzi, Atlanta, Albany, Alaska, T-61

i have a crush on A-H pre-dreadnoughts...but i will never see them in this game for sure SMS Monarch SMS Babenberg SMS Erzherzog Ferdinand Max SMS Radetzky and my all time favorite: SMS Sankt Georg (armored cruiser) ...look at that beauty

sometimes it feels that their armament was already removed, especially when the cruiser captain knows what to do ;)

burning them down isnt enjoyable?

Fuso, Nagato, Gneisenau and Bismarck I keep ships mainly for sentimental reasons and not necessarily for their game potential...regarding Gneisenau I started to really like her look For the future: I will certainly keep Iowa and probably Algerie and Fletcher

regarding the fighters: i dont get how wg think that CV gameplay can hold without them. you need a counterplay for the planes. or torpedo planes just drop, flood, fly away and return when your dam con is on cooldown and AA alone doesnt make them to change their mind. only other planes force you to be swift and precise, plan the moves. i understand wg dont want fighters because of spotting, but we dont need fighter squadrons. even bombers had guns so why not let them use those against other planes? the whole CV gameplay really doesnt make any sense if other CV wouldnt be able to threaten you. it seems so obvious that somebody had to suggest it already, so my apologies if it is already here.

nvm

really? how so? the thing is that there are actually physical limitations of what speed can conventional ship (with propellers) with this displacement can reach... and 50 knots i believe is right about that still it is a fact that la fantasque broke the record for a warship with "just" 45 knots (which itself is completely ridiculously fast for a warship)...and this thing is 10 knots faster. do we really need that? nothing in this game is more powercreeped than speed. WG went over the top with the frenchies. they brought the speed gimmick not realizing that russians are already the speed demons? when khabarovsk was introduced the speed race was already over

if there isnt speedcap, it should be. what for would be to go over 50 knots anyway? not to mention that even todays warships arent able to go so fast. why not introduce ships that can sail sideways?

this new mode needs just one thing to be complete ↓

Radar knock out is interesting idea. But it certainly doesnt solve current problem. As a DD you can hardly use that as a defense. It would be just annoying for cruiser players to have constantly knocked out radar considering the prevalent HE spam and how fragile this module would have to be

You really dont miss any opportunity to shout out how bad BBs are.

i would like an option in "content disabler" or rather return of that option as it was possible previously: you put both "The Last Conquest" and "From the Bottom of the Ocean" skins under the same option, but i would like to see only Bismarck's intact skin and not the zombie one. That doesnt fall into "historical" cathegory anyway. (btw the Hood's camo from the same event is not historical either, are you even aware of that? http://www.hmshood.com/photos/hoodphotos3.htm)

it is not...or is. but not by wg but by the germans themselves https://www.bismarck-class.dk/tirpitz/paint_schemes/paint_tirpitz_1942.html scroll down for "Paint Scheme G (June 1942 - July 1942)"

nice indeed. more of these and less go navies...were there some personal changes in camouflage section of wg's graphical department? EDIT: well, i checked for the first time 0.7.8 update article and found that these camos are actually the best picks of the continuation of wg's regular overthetopness EDIT2: i also like tirpitz's special camo (atago's and scharnhorst's not so much)

wow, what are these? first time i see them

Most of the maps are oversaturated with overthetop eyecandy imho

That was found out right after they were introduced. Im just surprised that it wasnt fixed yet.

yeah. keep going with these stupid remarks and then write me about "an exchange of ideas and moving the opinion to reach an understanding"

i have very concrete position from the very beginning. you can browse back how far you want and you'll still see that i was saying right from the start that Alaska is a t10 material with whatever designation WG decide to choose for her. i just acknowledged that Alaska can take bb slot in mm if that will make things easier, but as t10 cruiser so thats your solution? to make her t8 bb? that will really change things A LOT! so youre not ok with her being t9 cruiser but you would make her t8 bb. just like that? where's the logic behind this? is the MM slot the only concern for you? or werent you saying something about 9k alpha deleting cruisers and destroyers? wouldnt these guns be even more deadly when they would be meeting tier6? this lead us to my very original question: how will you balance these guns? it seems that you have no idea no sir. you have no opinion whatsoever. everything what i heard from you so far was just whiny "omg she will be op" and no reasonable alternative to the problem

nowhere i suggested that you are proposing t6 for Alaska, i just mentioned that possibility. you seem to be somewhat triggered by this...but what tier would you put her as "mid tier BB" anyway? my logic? that's just your delusions, not my logic. can you even read what i wrote? im for Alaska as cruiser because i dont believe you can make both competitive and balanced battleship of her at any tier and because as high tier cruiser she can be what she is (long range sniping cruiser hunter) with pretty no issues (except for WG putting unnecesarry goodies on her: radar, submerged citadel) hood has situational armor? that steel-concrete-bunker of a ship has a situational armor for you? not to mention that she has long-reload large caliber guns, which is enough to put her in a bb slot. how do you describe alaska's armor if hood's is "situational"? i never said that i care about her designation or slot. i also proposed that she can take bb slot for matchmaking if that makes things easier. but i just think that she belongs to high tiers because her role is quite clear there unlike at mid tier yeah i just want an OP ship in my port...you really nailed our discussion. again, your delusion and not my words. not me who cant be reasoned with

same as why you are so hell bent that that Alaska is a battleship while she is just uparmored baltimore. nothing comparable to scharnhorst. you can compare her to dunkerque, but to have her at tier 6 seems completelly ridiculous to me. she just cant compete even with mid tier battleships. while she would have too much cruiser qualities (great AA, 33 knots, fast reload), she would lack any BB quality and need some gimmicks to catch up with other BBs because the main problem would be her guns (as said million times) how can you balance them to not be completelly devastating against those cruisers with no armor and in the same time to not completelly suck against other battleships? there is no sweetspot for them at mid tiers. and those guns are everything alaska has. at high tiers she can work perfectly fine as cruiser hunter/bb avoider, where cruisers has lot more armor and survivability. she dont need radar and i would raise her citadel above water and she should be rather tier X imho she was designed to be long range sniper and thats what she can perfectly be (because of those floaty shells you can make them reasonably accurate) and i would definitely want to see her like that rather than some crazydispersion-underarmored-anemic BB at mid tiers.

Large cruisers are not Scharnhorst. How many times this will have to be said? They can work perfectly fine as high tier cruisers which just traded rate of fire for higher alpha and a bit of concealment for a bit of protection. Its not their fault that WG decided to give them submerged citadels, 32mm bows,radars, BBpunishing AP or whatever they came up with...

I will be always saying that Normandie and Lyon shouldnt go faster than 27 knots, because unlike germans they have way too much firepower for that speed
