Kongo is very good too. I prefer Kongo over Fuso in ranked

Exactly, and I think the major reason for this is that the game is much older now. People have experimented on many classes "while being those noobs", and now they know better what they want and a lot of skilled players, who are good in maneuvering gunboats have chosen to take Russian DD line, which brings a lot of skilled players to Russian DD line. This raises the stats quite significantly. At the same time, people who got bad results with DD's, abandoned them and decided not to go Russian DD at all.... so there are a lot of stuff that have impact on the results. You need to be at certain skill level to get any results on those boats, because it is close combat often and you need have good situational awareness, when going gets tough and there are multiple opponents shooting at you and you just try to stay alive... When making decision what is a good ship, you have to look at ship stats first, then try how it plays out in the game, and then decide from that if it is a good ship, not by looking at winrates in some sheet. What comes to Gnevny and Gremlin, they are almost identical ships(Gnevny class). Just minor things (stat boosts) that make Gremlin better in comparison.... So yeah... even after simplified explanation he doesn't get it... so I am done debating about this... it's just not worth it..

I don't really agree about XP... I tend to get very good XP from ranked games. I think it is because all the ships are closer and they are not spread to the other sides of the map(and with battleship you just won't get to them in randoms). I also would like to see team battles, it would give me a reason to join a clan for example.

Yeah, with Murmansk/Omaha it is good tactic to burn enemies from long range. Very effective specially on BB's. and then when you put the spotter in the air and you're like... whaaaa?..."I can shoot all the way to the other side of the map..."

I used captain without any skills to check stats. After longer investigation, It turned out that it was actually MikeYankeeSoxisix flag that was boosting my Secondary values. Good that you pointed it out, since I am planning on making review on Fuso later and those flags would of screwed the stats... The Main battery mod(Type 6 Mod 2) can only be installed in the C Hull, so the range increase actually is improvement only with C Hull. Range is 21.8km with it. (That 19.8 is well enough though...)

You guys just have too much freetime

I don't care about your result stats. I care about SHIP stats. if ships stats say it is better, then it is better. it is just FACT. it does not matter how the games have ended. There are so many variations what could of have impact on the results of the games. They are almost identical ships. They are both Gnevny class ships, but Gremlin has BETTER stats.... I'll make this very simple for you, so that even you can understand this... I'll give you an example: Let's say we have Ferrari 407 Engine Mod 4, which has max speed of 320km/h and ANOTHER exactly same chassis Ferrari 407 Engine Mod 3, which has little bit less horsepower and goes only 300km/h... otherwise 100% indentical.... but the DRIVER does better results with Ferrari Mod 3, then which one is the better Ferrari? The Ferrari with more horsepower is STILL the better one, no matter who was first in the finishing line, because VEHICLE STATS are better. it is only drivers(=players) making big difference. Gnevny players are getting better results with Gnevny now. They have evolved and learned to play. And another example. I played 57% winrate with Gnevny, but I have never had Gremlin, so I could not raise Gremlin average above 50%, which will raise Gnevy results to better, compared to Gremlin? But it doesn't mean Gnevny is actually better. Get it?

I kind of like it that there are few ships. You can have more impact on the result, and there is less camping

Yeah, New Mexico is one of the best Battleships per tier. You are going to like that one. I personally don't like New York at all... it is just too slow in everything... You have obviously played so much that you have worked up on it. That is when the games go bad... it is a grind, and you should not rush to tier 10... the most fun is at tiers 4-7 at the moment... You just play difficult ship now... sleep over it

Finally managed to play few games and got to rank 10... was able to get gameplays replays from Kongo, New Mexico and Fuso as well.... now I need to grind that advanced firing training for my Blyskawica...

I've played with Kongo, New York, New Mexico and Fuso... had to try them all... Now at rank 10 I need to change to... Blyskawica...

I don't agree about many things in the video either.... I think Kiev is just amazing ship, but stats do tell that Gremlin is better, and that was the point here.

Poster, you are wrong. Just wrong...(but I was also in ruddershift) All those upgrades DO COME from B Hull to C Hull, NOT from A Hull... From B Hull to C Hull you get: +2km Main battery range -3 Maximum Dispersion +0.6 Rounds per minute for 127mm secondaries +0.2km range for 127 mm secondaries +0.3 Rounds per minute for 152mm secondaries +0.2km range for 152mm secondariers +22 dps for 13.2mm AA guns +12 dps for 25mm AA guns +0.9km range for 25mm AA guns -12dps for 127mm AA guns +2.9km range for 127mm AA guns But you are correct that Ruddershift does not improve (Probably why I originally did not even list it in my message...)

Oh yes, that too... I actually skipped B Hull completely and saved money...

The quality gets better when you raise in ranks, but in lower level you really see some weird stuff, followed by frustration...

Your secondaries will get better Range and RoF, your AA gets better, Dispersion of the MAIN guns is better, you will get more range to your main guns. I think it is worth it.

Yes, Gremlin is way way better. I don't care about your results, because it is mostly about who plays it.... Have a look at proof in 10 min 20 seconds:

Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like the values were from B Hull actually (Stock has less HP for example) Sorry about that. I will add some annotations to video, were the correct values are shown, and I am also about to make Kongo review(I already re-purchased it few days ago).... so I will be putting the correct stats in that one. when doing the stat comparison. Thanks for your input. Highly appreciated. EDIT: Complete rerun made on the comparison and stats. (speech sound quality drops a little while looking at (new)stats, but it will be better in the future. there was little issue with mic. Nothing serious). Uploaded NOW, with better evaluation and correct stats. (Will make that Kongo review in the future)

Tier IV Soviet Premium Battleship in gameplay, Fireproof healer in action!

agreed, Superintendent is the best Camptain skill for battleship, of all of them(ok, level 1 repair might be better) Situation awareness is very good too, so you know when DD are near, which brings us to level 1 ammoswitch skill... which is also useful when changing AP to HE, if that DD is near and awareness tells you so...

Nerfing Gnevny doesn't make any sense because Premium ship Gremy is already WAY BETTER than Gnevny... The reason why Gnevny is powerful, is because Gremy would be absolutely ridiculously OP if they didn't even try to bring Gnevny closer.... that said all DD in tier 5 are superpowerful, Minekaze, Fujin... so Gnevny fits right in.

I suppose it is worth mentioning that statistics page keeps showing the season 1 and it is not updating at all...

My first games I dropped to 14 and also noticed that the quality of gameplay is absolutely horrible at ranks 14, but it gets a lot better around 12

Looks like in rank 11 you still need Tier 5-6 ship. I thought it was 11 when it changed... at 11 now 1-10 in tier 7-8? Re-read earlier messages so yeah... 1-10 in tier 7-8

My start was really really bad. many losses in a row... but then it turned around and now I have won more than lost. rank 12 atm. Fuso matches were very bad mostly.... made me remember why I didn't like that ship. The spread is just horrible.... now with New Mexico.... it's good. one more rank and I can start using Blyskawica for Tier 7. yes, BB are very strong, but also remember that it is very important to take out those DD and you need Cruisers for it... I've noticed that so many cruiserplayers always engage battleships, when they should take care of DD's. Of course it feels powerless if you try to kill BB with Cruiser all than time.
