    Chapayev can just use IFHE and doesn't care about Baltimores armour...

    How to solve the camping problem once and for all

    Earl_of_Northesk replied to periscope_up's topic in General Discussion

    You still think the problem is maintenance cost? It's not and never was.
  3. Earl_of_Northesk
    Which will make it even more stupid. Imagine a true high tier CL with HE; why would you want to play any CA? We are back in the old AFT/BFT meta where light cruisers are the more powerful ships against everything they meet than any CA in the game.

    increase in detonations since 0.6.0 ?

    Earl_of_Northesk replied to The_Baptist's topic in General Discussion

    Since IFHE has upped HE penetration and the damage roll HE deals to magazines (which determines the detonations chance), yes, there has most likely been a global increase of detonations, at least for destroyers.

    Every time there is no fire at the enemy ship he is essentially one big fire spot, thus it doesn't matter where your shells hit as they all have the same fire chance on impact. Sorry, but that's a fact. Fair point, you could cap it at 139mm's.
  7. Earl_of_Northesk
    It really doesn't make a difference if you hit on or all 4 fire spots if there isn't a fire burning on that ship at that moment.
  8. Earl_of_Northesk
    The one which doesn't involve using rather stupid abbreviations of "lol". Which is not really a form of communication in my book.
  9. Earl_of_Northesk
    Are you capable of using the human language, or is some internet meme slang all you will contribute here?
  10. Earl_of_Northesk
    There's a reason none of the top players take it, you know. And I do not complain fires are too easy to get. I do complain you can have a skill which has no actual effective reduction in fire chance while giving you more HE pen, promoting brainless play. My chapayev fires every 8 seconds. I have 12 shells every 8 seconds with a 12% fire chance. So I will get 1,44 fires with every full salvo I hit, statistically. Without IFHE and 15%, there is just 25% buff to my fire chance. Which means I will get 1,8 fires per full salvo. Which sorry, Isn't really any tradeoff when there are 4 fire spots available. Or even 3.
  11. Earl_of_Northesk
    Lulz, yeah, it is 12. Still, 12% or 15% does make absolutely no difference if you do the math. None at all. You are doing the math wrong. Or interpreting it wrong. Question is: do the additional 3% gain you anything against BB's? Nope. They don't really. The question is: will you really fail to set a fire when you need to get one, eg. the enemy has used damage con and all 4 fire spots are available. No, you won't.
  12. Earl_of_Northesk
    Don't even know what that means, but already said I had a brainfart and meant FP. Same for you Still wouldn't personally take it on Zao, but I have it on most of my DD's.
  13. Earl_of_Northesk
    Meant FP. Still not up to the new skill names in a few cases. And FP is useless. And you just take CE and IFHE. It's the only viable choice on that ship. How often do you really use our AA? You will use IFHE every single game. Not worth going for a buff for your crappy AA then.
  14. Earl_of_Northesk
    Akizuki doesn't care about fire chance and as I said, I'm perfectly fine with having the -3% on DD's. The fire chance nerf just needs to be higher for cruisers. I'm not rooting for scrapping it, I'm rooting for making it an actual choice instead of just a straight up buff which hurts the role of CA's. I also said it is worthwile on Kurfürst, but really on Kurfürst only due to it's gigantic size. If we need to talk about Flamu here, he also says he only uses it on that single ship ;)
  15. Earl_of_Northesk
    -3% is laughable. I still have a 18% fire chance on my Chapayev. With the RoF Chapayev has, if you do the match, you will realise there is zero difference in your gameplay. And people taking fire preventon aren't really smart and will probably die anyway.
  16. Earl_of_Northesk
    Nobody takes survivability expert on anything really. Not worth it except maybe something VERY large like Kurfürst. So there's that. So, what do I lose on Chapayev when I take HEAP? Nothing, really, if my commander is high enough. I want a 1 and a 2 point skill. For the third row, DE and SI. Still 10 points left. What do I do with those? Even if I only have 8. Which 4 point skill is more useful than HEAP? None. You are no frontline ship, so no need for RDF. You will need CE but you can easily get that. Your AA isn't all that impressive anyway, so why waste 4 points on something wich might be useful once in 20 games when you can take a 4 point skill which is usefull in EVERY game you will play? It is a must have on every CL and insanely strong. If you think otherwise, you are mistaken.
  17. Earl_of_Northesk
    The problem right from the start was that this is not something that trades something. You do not trade fire damage for pen. You just gain pen, but only on ships which are not CA's. So basically, you now have (nearly) the HE pen of a CA on your CL, while still setting just as much fires per minute and while having, in most (if not all) cases, a higher DPM as well. It is, sorry to say, just very poor game design. I get why they didn't want the -6% fire chance for DD's, as it would have made the skill for them totally useless. But why not keep the -6% for cruisers and make it -3% for DD's? It's just the same for CE, why not here?

    Dir ist klar, das Manual AA auf der Hatsuharu 0 Effekt hat? Das funktioniert nur für AA 85mm+, das hast du dort nicht.

    This patch has been a lot of things, a BB buff it was not.
