I cannot tell, but I saw a lot of overpens like this (I shot that broadsided Myoko). So I don't see any difference with other BBs that I play :

After 73 battles with Hood, I figured out the only good thing about shorter fuse AP shells is that Hood cannot overpen CVs, so you can deal a lot of damage vs enemy CVs if you can get to them. For other classes, short fuse doesn't help anything.

It is a money printing machine. So if you struggle to have enough credits in game, than it is the best ship to have. But if credit is not your problem, then it is not worth that cost.

Any tier, bow on is still better than show your broadside.

https://sea-group.org/?p=2884&lang=en All german CA gun HE penetration now has 1/4 caliber rule : 150mm HE shell penetration is increased from 25 to 38. 203mm HE shell penetration is increased from 34 to 51. 210mm HE shell penetration is increased from 35 to 53. Nurnberg aft turrets can turn 360 deg. Admiral Makarov (Nurnberg clone) aft turrets cannot. Destroyers Farragut, Mahan, Sims, Hatsuharu, Fubuki, Shiratsuyu's armored deck unified to 16mm. *For some reason, Akatsuki does not receive this buff. Benson, Lo Yang, Fletcher, Kagero, Yugumo, Shimakaze's armored deck unified to 19mm. Lo Yang's Mk31 torpedo range is increased from 6km to 6.7km. Lo Yang's hydroaccustic search range is increased from 3.48km to 5.43km vs. ships; from 2.52km to 3.75km vs. torpedoes; duration remains unchanged. Yugumo can now equip Type93 mod.3 torpedo. Airplanes All types of aircraft can now be detected by ships at 8km, and can be detected by planes at 7km. G-101 Firing arc of the port side torpedo tube increased by 10° to make it symmetry with the one on starboard (was asymmetry). Firing arc of mid-ship torpedo tubes increased by 12°. Emerald A good portion of 10mm armor plate is buffed to 13mm. Montana Deck armor remains at 38mm (was briefly reverted to 29mm for test purpose). Citadel volume is reduced about 28.2%. Bow, stern and superstructure have their HP reduced by about 24.5% and it is re-allocated to casemate. Iowa/Missouri Citadel volume is reduced about 27.5%, the excluded volume is now considered as casemate. Since casemate now takes more volume (in %), bow, stern and superstructure have their HP reduced by about 18.7% and it is re-allocated to casemate.

Want to play CAs/CLs ? Learn to shot with only front guns or rear guns. You show your broadside, you die.

I don't use AA build except AFT, I use RPF on my Hood now....Because there were 2 times when I ate 7 torps (from Yugumo and Karego) even with Vigilance skill. Those torps are too fast for Hood to dodge..

1st Kraken with Hood...

Secondaries build a no-brainer pick for Bismarck..

Meh ship for me :

I know but I just want to show that the change in the fuse from 0,33s to 0,15s don't change anything. Unlike British CLs, your APs still overpen BBs, CAs and DDs if your shells hit superstructure, angled or not. Btw, I'm tired with overpens, so I decided to spam more HE than using AP only. And out of my expectation, the results are much better :

Short fused shells ? Where are they ?

No HE shell in the game has 20k dmg...

Still overpen with short fuse shells :

Meh ship. The best tank at this tier. It can surpass even German BBs due to higher HP pool and better heal. Accuracy is not the best but workable. However, the lackluster penetration make it very difficult to rack up enough damage to change the tide of the battle if your team is trash. Strong but fragile short range AA. It is only useful if you use a lot of AA perks and modules. Fast moving ship. Nevertherless, turning circle is very poor so torpedoes are your nightmare.

Z-23 m'a tué normalement, elle ne m'a pas fait exploser d'un seul coup.

That problem happens with broadside BBs in very close range too, not only broadside CAs. Because normal zooms (with shift key) don't depress your gun below 0 degree in very close range, your guns will always overshoot the target. But there is a workaround to that problem : Holding C while switching from 1st person view to 3rd person view key to be able to depress the guns in very close range, I'm able to citadel broadside targets in very close range like I should in longer range.

In long range they are about the same, but in close-mid range, you will see a big difference.

Sigma is only 1 parameter which doesn't tell you all the picture, you have to look at horizontal and vertical dispersions too. And Warspite minimal vertical dispersion value is much smaller than Hood which makes it very accurate in mid-close range compared to Hood. Even Bayern has better accuracy than Hood.

The AA is only good against DBs and mostly useless vs TBs.

With recent changes, Hood AA is very crap without AFT and AA range module. Your long range and mid range AA don't panic planes anymore so you will eat all the torps launched at you before enemy TBs start to drop like flies in short range AA aura.
