You would think... But a lot of the "noobs" are still well... Not good. I think there might be a definite skew in Budyonny as there will be relatively few played a lot by relatively good players. Anyway without a full stats comparison (number of unique players not just how many games played) it's speculative anyway. If the stats aren't down in a month or two expect the nerf bat.

Well it is in a close or medium fight. The torp lead will be farther ahead than the guns. So this leads to a torp aiming "delay". Not sure how you would unlink them though. Where they were last pointed would make sense, but all aiming is linked to where you are looking.

Well then in that specific scenario that is daft. You should get a regular pen or something for landing heavy shells *inside the engine room* even if they do go right through it. Citadel containing like important ship stuff...

May have tried it elsewhere. Checking the stats on KM might well be an idea. However as time progresses the skew on stats because of experienced players ought to increase with each new line because: - more free XP accrued by good players allowing them to skip faster - general masses less likely to immediately grind new line due to credits, other lines they've not really done yet so I would expect any KM cruiser skew to be lower. But worth watching. I can't really comment on Buddy having no experience. So I'll shut up for now. Once I do get her I'm sure I can single handedly pull the stats down

It may still be OP. But the sample is a bad sample to look at stats. I've inly played Kirov. I'm OP in her but as soon as I make a mistake I'm dead. She's very hard to not die in. I imagine the Buddy is the same. I've seen hardly any in game when I'm in a BB so I've yet to try to nuke them. I will tho as soon as I see one.

Does it change the selection on your interface? Could this be secondaries starting the fire? Would need replay to be sure. Never happened to me.

Well it's not a citadel overpen. It's an overpen plus a citadel ricochet. So it does minimal damage in this scenario.

So stat comparing the Budyonny is a bit daft at the moment don't you think? I don't even have her yet. Who does? Players who play a lot. Players who get a lot of XP. Experienced players. No way will "the masses" have it yet. Those stats will come down on their own...

Today's games at tier 8 have been a shambles. Coming top of the team in New Mexico in a tier 8 game leaves me wondering what my team were doing. Oh well. point is there isn't anything you can do about it. Some games will go that way. At least I made some credits

HE works rather well. Especially if it blows off the torpedoes they were about to launch but it this is only recommended for high HP cruisers at *point blank* range, when AP just bounces off the citadel roof...

Yes yes. OP you're doing what I did when I realised I sucked. And I did. It's there for all to see in my closed beta stats And I was worse still after just 200 games. This game is deceptive. It's not easy to be good at but its easy to "shoot the thing with the thing" I suspect you need to focus on strategic gameplay first. Try to be where you can do most damage without being hit back hard. Sometimes that means assessing where you are going to be... Not just where you are now. It also helps to see if your close team mates are about to die and leave you on your own. Back off before that happens. If I were you I would take the advice here - watch YouTube vids and focus next on surviving longer than half your team. The rest will follow. Good luck and fair seas!

Finally beat my 6 kill game record with an epic tier V game in Murmansk. I was already on Kraken when we had 2 caps but ALL my teammates died leaving me against a full health Minekaze and a low HP Wyoming. The Wyoming trued to play chicken with me around an island... When I have torpedoes. He actually parked... The Minekaze had no luck torping me so I kept retaking his caps to maintain the lead. Eventually he got frustrated and shot his guns, so I sank him to end the game was as going to play all morning but too tired now.

First game with radar in New Orleans. It was useless Used at the wrong time. But I think in principle it will make the NO useful again as if I'd used it at the right time of have sunk me a Fubuki.

Does it still blow up like the Kirov? Fragile ships punish poor play so I doubt the global stats will end up looking good.

Have you heard the port music? Feels like I'm in Paris or something </national stereotype>

But you can be scouted by CV planes then sniped by Kongo... I've done that to a player who hadn't even managed to get in the game. When he did he had 1/3 his health left. I felt mean... But generally cruisers can survive. You just need to play a little less like BBs and a little more like a DD.

Incidentally I always go to coop to test a new ship. Managed to lose in Kirov. Should have taken that as a sign...

Yep. Suggest watching YouTube - Notser. He explains *everything* which really helps. I used to be bad. 45% WR and low damage. Then I came here for advice and watched YouTube. So yes you can and will improve. And rapidly to start .

Put the link in your signature people

So remember lemons plague the red team too And Russian cruisers aren't good at carrying no.

Why be frustrated though. You did great. So your team lost... Frustrating for me is a game where I end up with like 17 hits and 20k damage... that performance would please me win or lose.

At the moment I would agree. Perhaps I should play a few more Iowa and New Orleans games just to be sure though. And at present if there are few tier Xs about I might be top tier for once.

Aka everyone is down at the "fun tiers" grinding new soviet cruisers...

You mean you? Well yes. Not in warships you can't. Your stats suggest you run off and die ---> low damage low survival rate. So on average you're not an asset to the team. What you decide to do about that (complain about things or try to improve) is up to you. And I suck badly at tanks, but do ok in ships

I don't think so. I think people are just as scared of bring install nuked by things like Yamato. I don't imagine it would stop the hanging back. Maybe though, would need a test. and yeah. More cvs would help. Pretty certain it didn't used to be like this in CBT. If cv is spotting you and has torp planes may as well move!
