Still so much math fail... 10 = 0.5 * 20 10 = 0.8 * 12.5 Notice how they both equal 10? Notice how you are failing to consider how reduced rng impacts all ship classes and not just battleships?

Math fail...

Not going to watch those videos or judge whether that guy is good or not, but landing lucky spreads and groupings does not make a good player anymore than landing unlucky ones makes a bad player. I can pretty easily record a bunch of videos and only post the ones i get lucky in. Yes there is positional skill involved in this game, but it means nothing if you roll 0's 5 times in a row. The OP has already posted a very clear video showing the rng problem. If you wish to only blindly cherry pick footage that supports your hypothesis, that's on you.

I didn't say there was no control. Only that there is alot less than there could be. Like everyone else in the thread has already explained to you, i'll give it another shot. battleship power = rng * damage Hope you can appreciate that lower rng can be balanced by lower damage. No-one has said anything about buffing battleships or sniping people from 20km - you're just putting up strawmen. You can't even reliably hit targets at 5-8km.

impressive feat of reasoning, you got me convinced beyond doubt. Anyone who says the rng in this game is fine needs to re-evaluate their definition of skill and meaningful player input. It really ain't hard to get the right lead and distance (unless you are blind i guess). Getting good shell groupings that don't constantly straddle targets however is another story. And it isn't just BB that suffer from this rng plague. More rolls per minute can only compensate so much. Games are never fun when the player has very little control over decisive outcomes.
