Maybe 2-3 years ago I would agree but the meta now is slowly going into SEA server passivity...

if its in div with DD that gives him smoke it's potential is amazing having very low smoke dection, has good hydro so will be hard to torp him in smoke + its small and agile. Unlike Lazo which is totally solo ship - Munchen brings a lot. You need a good div ofc like Sims+Munchen+Atlanta/Flint. Solo is a hard to play ship.

It's not bad but it's hard to play. I don't feel that confident on it in comparison to other cruisers.

They have more hp at least so they can do more against Kita. All what I said there is my own experience in battles. Feels hard to play kind of ship, harder than other T7. Even against lower tiers. I took Fiji and Lazo and are way better, even NO feels better with good AP. I'm not saying Munchen is bad, can work but in some situations, it's great for divs. Solo play it's not good experience.

Just use modstation for that.

Venezia isn't destroying the game. She packs same punches as BBs AP back in the days against DDs. Imagine in the past as DD you had to be against 4-5 Venezia literally every battle. Now you don't get Venezia or SAP cruiser against you every round.

I have it and in my opinion - she's really hard to use. She's only a support ship, a really short duration focus fire from even 2 enemy ships can send her to the bottom, you need to utilize the terrain. It should be played passive at the beginning as iChase presented. Though it's not likely sometimes. In many cases when cv is in the game and I get spotted for a little while - I get a hell of focus. And I'm just going for a position. CVs will focus you with rocket planes and can melt you cause you also have small amount of hp. Even being top tier she's hard to use, not even mentioning that on T9 the DDs aren't really afraid of you. Kita will stomp on you, same with Black. 203mm AP will shred you into pieces. Like an Anchorage from smoke suddenly blasts you. This turtleback is non existent, it can protect against DD or light cruiser AP but not from anything else. 5/10 imho. Not so fun to play, it's a hard challenge if you're bored and had a good WR this day, cause this ship has non existent carry potential. It's very situational though it can work with divisions pretty well. Best division for her is Sims plus Sinop or Gneisenau.

Almost 8 kills. Aigle popped up from behind the island in the second before 1000 points.

Since always it was. I don't even care about this cause I have 900+ days now but yeah - I remember in the past it was an issue.

Park behind some Island and launch the planes. This is how it'll be played.

If they will have same as Roma crazy accuracy - it won't be a big issue.

No. Such move can destroy the game, especially troll divs 2 or 3 kitakami. 2 kitakami can launch as many torps as 5 Yudachi all using TRB. That's crazy. Add to this your own DDs torps.

I have both Hayate and Smaland. And imho Smaland is way better cause it's different experience. Hayate is somewhat IJN Gearing, with more hard hitting guns that have slightly worse reload, shima torps and Z-52 concealment. And the last thing makes it in fact lacking. If it was 5.9 km concealment it could be ok. Now it's lacking/mediocre Smaland is amazing playing in divisions, even solo can be pretty effective. Great gun reload, 8 stock Ostergotland torps, radar, powerful engine boost to rush smokes or to run away if it's crap situation. Concealment same as Hayate but Smaland is way more scary. AA is ok but it no def AA, T10 CV will be beating you hardly. Hayate has a bit better AA than shima but it's not good, at least you have smoke. Although you can equip TRB that can be effective sometimes. Yeah, sometimes. With no smoke you'll become very situational. Although you can consider going with no smoke in div with a YY with smoke. But overall Smaland is more interesting one.

You'll lose a lot of fire chance. Sure, you can then pen Yam, Musashi, Izumo decks as well as Kremlin and Soyuz. But using ifhe just for that isn't effective.

If they are techtree just sell them. If they are premium leave them - cause when you'll eventually get supercontainer with such ship (like Mikoyan or Krasny Krym) you would be really mad. At least I would be.

Maybe fix the game files via Game center?

At that point we can say that Alaska is OP, Ohio is OP, Minotaur is OP, Daring is OP... We can go and continue. There's a difference between "good solid ship" and "OP". The first version of Conqueror was borderline OP, Indomitable on 1st iteration on the tests was OP, Haku on 1st month of cv rework was stupidly OP (well now it's borderline OP as most CVs ) but not Thunderer that can be dealt with.

And then Smolensk goes out full broadside against my Anchorage, get smacked by 5 cits. And ofc complains "pay to win" . Lol.

I know the guy, he's a total whale from NA server. His opinions are so exaggerated. Yesterday playing the Conqueror someone said my ship is also OP "Too powerful HE, hard hitting AP and can't be killed because of this heal" the Zao player was really mad. Jest because I know how to use the ship it's OP? Meh.

Never played them.

Some players can't aim from a Minotaur into a 6km away DD. And you think such people can "handle" anything? I'm sure some of them struggle to go out to throw the garbage 🗑️.

Yup the manual ban takes about 1-2 days. Sometimes 3. After 3 days you sometimes forget the reason at all. As now I'm 6 months free from chatbans. Most of my chatbans were a direct answer to insults (mostly when I played cv or Conqueror) or when someone bragged about my number of battles in a bad way. Now I just say "ok boomer" . If they continue I block them but generally they stop.

I'm greedy. I want more flags, more is better

I don't know why but it's not working
