In the past, before the buffs, it sucked due to a combinatoion of low HP, big profile, fragile turret, terrible dispersion. But now, It is a very strong ship and worth the grind.

Indianapolis reload time is buffed from 15s to 14,3s.

Don't know yet about ships, but for commanders :

Khaba >>>>Grozovoi. End of story.

Here a training battle with 12 active NC bots and 11 passive Yamato bots. The battle finishes with 5 dead Yamatoes and a lot of damaged Yamatoes : Fighting range is about 14 km. All bots are immobile.

It sucks because in bow on showsown, it can only shoot 4 guns while its enemies can shoot 6 guns. You are outgunned all the time so if you cannot close in enough to use the secondaries, you are in big troubles.

If it is not artificially made, how they could change US shell arc to rainbow-like one ?

The shell arc in game is artificially made.....

NC sigma = 2.0 Amagi sigma = 1.8 And the 2 ships have similar dispersion at close range --> That's why NC accuracy is superior at close range

Amagi has better accuracy in mid and long range but NC accuracy is better in short range

Mutsu is clearly superior now.

Grozovoi is too big, too sluggish and doesn't have Khaba troll armour. The torps are weak and have very high cooldown time. I reckon that except AA, Udaloi is better than this crap. Compared to it, Khaba feels much more superior with the new repair party consummable and the new engine booster upgrade. You have about the same torps but much more firepower and survivability.

The funny thing is that with Minotaur torps (47000 alpha dmg and 1000 dmg, aka 16667 "max dmg"), I get more damage when hit Yamato bow/aft (15628) but less dmg in Yamato midship sections (7396), compared to Black torps.

http://shipcomrade.com/news/266/work-in-progress-uss-black.html I can confirm that. The 21.600 max dmg is a hoax. The best dmg you can get with Black torps is ~13.000 vs non-torpedo bulge sections (bow, aft).

The Gnevny at tier 6 (Gordy) feels worse than the old Ognevoi....

I see a pattern : Flint --> RN CLs Black --> RN DDs ?

It doesn't have good soft stats. It bleeds so much speed when turning and the deck is huge so it is easy to get shot at.

For me, Grozovoi is very meh.
