Which to be fair, I would've loved to have gotten the Gremy instead of Yubari so to have another chance at the Gremlin is good in my book.

Its a bloody cosmetic change. It's still a spotter aircraft, with the same abilities. It just looks more fitting on a Lend-Lease Omaha than a downsized KOP-2.

He was only commenting on your mistaken impression that Yorck was the "Ersatz York" that you tried to link.

The ingame specs of 8 x 21cm guns match the ones listed for the Entwurf I/10. In game screen shots of the T7 Yorck matches closely to the Entwurf I/10 schematics. And how bout a RU dev confirming the design as our T7 Yorck. http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/50785-have-we-identified-which-designs-go-with-which-paper-ship-in-the-german-line-yet/page__st__20__pid__1259167#entry1259167 The Ent I/10 itself is a preliminary design for what eventually became the Deutschland class of ships.

Because the German 5.9 gun either has Cleveland levels of ROF with flatter arcs or faster firing 8in guns. Do you not think it would power creep the other two lines out if they did the same AP/HE damage? They also significantly outrange the other two lines.

It's still the same. Its a cosmetic change for the spotter plane. From a "Russian" one to the USN Vought OSU2 Kingfisher.

As mentioned before, now confirmed, The change to the plane was cosmetic. Murmansk still has the spotter as the Vought OSU2 Kingfisher is an observation plane.

The Rising Sun Ensign is a flag that even the JMSDF stow away for port visits to the ROK. Is it that surprising that WG Asia doesn't want to touch this flag thing with a 10 foot pole? Especially with Korea being a PC gaming market.

>" КОР-2 catapult spotter changed for "original" Vought OS2U." The OSU2 is an observation plane,? All float fighters so far in game are naval fighters with pontoons tacked on.

Did OP just say Ark Royal at T5? Against a CVL and CVE?

That is not the consensus on NA forums/server where I reside. The general idea there is dispersion will be linear up to an intermediate point (its why dispersion looks like crap at point blank range). Unless you have data-mined WG dispersion calculations, you're going off of anecdotes also.

Murmansk...its a steal for just 1 USD... But seriously, its like a better Omaha in top configuration (longer ranged torps, better rudder shift), only thing missing is lack of fighter aircraft, instead, you get a spotter to push your range out to like 18km.

If it doesn't scale with distance, than you would need to show some numbers that its considerably better than Amagi and NC who have much tighter dispersion at max range. And then show that data so the KMboos will shut up about how Tirpitz as been desecrated by WG.

I'm refering to the point where the torp marker is yellow and the TB is on autopilot while on its attack run which is about a 2 second window that I presume is rather difficult to time (if not at all) with the new fighter ability.

How is a 300m nerf to the vis-range the end of the world? I never went that close to my vis range to launch my torps in the Minekaze in CBT.

You wot m8. It has the highest dispersion out of all T8 BBs, like 273 m at max range.

I would presume the barrage thing would work when trying to take out a TB section on its last minute approach where the TBs are on a fixed course, but that is a very short window.

Overreact much? The Myoko gets a slower ROF that adds a mere two seconds onto the reload ( which is still faster than all other 8in IJN guns higher on the tree, it had kept its T8 gun stats even when it was downtiered) and the Minekaze now only have a 800m buffer to play with. From the theory wanking on the NA servers, the new loadouts give the IJN a much better chance against USN fighter groups anyways. Hell they're even bitching that the IJN Air Sup loadout is far more flexible than the USN one (Ryujo's 3-1-1, means you're achieving parity, especially now that you can gbang an equivalent USN group whose individual stats are at times lower than the IJN fighters which usually lose because 6v4). http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/42606-japanese-cvs-are-ridiculously-op-compared-to-american-cvs/page__st__60#topmost

It'll have increased AA, but probably not historical AA numbers. Virtually no ship in game kept their historical AA configs (unless WG deemed the config "balanced" for the tier).

Assuming the above is true, then it still would've been nerfed considering how gimped certain aspects of other BBs are to lessen the effects of its "strong" point. Amagi has a tighter dispersion because it has the lowest range of all 3 T8 BBs. N.C is in the middle due to high AAA values and longer range. The Tirpitz is stupid hard to citadel at all ranges and the firing arcs are very straight, the higher rate of fire and cruiser like turret training is obviously going to lead to a nerf somewhere.

I'm pretty sure the devs forgot to nerf the Kongo's stock range.

Looking at some of the threads in the general discussion, seems like the Tirpitz is extremely difficult to citadel, even at point blank range. If that is the case, then the dispersion and possible lesser armor pen are put in as balancing factors, can't have her be good at range while also a good brawler. Every single other ship in game has had stats changed around for balance. I do not see why Tirpitz or KM ships in general should be exempt from this caveat. Not to mention, the extremely flat arc of the shells would certainly amplify the effects of an even tighter dispersion in game. The Tirpitz can't shoot over hills on Fault Line even when the target is 18km away. That's how flat the arc is. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/28409-tirpitz-and-its-citadel/ Complaining about the AA set-up as "bias" is also pretty tinfoil(ish), especially since EVERY OTHER SHIP doesn't get their historical setup either.

IIRC, once torps get air spotted, they are perma-visable. Just make them pop into view range of aircraft but go back to being not detected on other player HUDs once they leave the LOS of the planes.

Replay or I call BS.

Get out of PvE or get gud OP.
