Tirpitz does not have hydro, in fact it loses the hydro

Unlike bismarck, tirpitz actually turns pretty well. But i think Odin is far superior, unfortunately thats not available. Not sure how brandenburg holds up

I think they should be available in game. But the rewards seem quite poor, getting less each year

Dispersion is amazing, it helps u land shots more directly where u aim Since Yamato also has very good shell grouping for salvos, this synergises well. Yamato generally wants to shoot wellplaced salvos rather than spam then anyway (most bbs in fact), so the dispersion is generally preferred by a lot of players

I have: Stalin Flint* FDR Shikishima Austin And my next will likely be plymouth. Flint is obvs a bad choice now You wrote off FDR yourself, i would also not recommend it (the one steel ship i really regret, much more than flint) Stalingrad is very good, but a tad boring. It is insanely powerful & fun in competitive, but in ranked its a different story. I really like shikishima & also much prefer her over yamato, due to the insane shell alpha, the penetration and the gun sound. Its a yamato but with bigger guns tho, and if u dislike yamato then nope. Austin is special. I like it, but its hard to play. You cant brawl, you cant take 1vs1 fights with bbs or cruisers. But you have so much utility. Torps, HE, SAP, amazing AA, the MBRB gor DDs or to nuke a cruiser- the gameplay can be very rewarding when things work out. Its comparable with an even flimsier version of Flint/atlanta at tier X imo. Gotta like the style Plymouth: I got austin first cause i thought compared to mino the plymouth seems weaker in a lot of aspects. But if u compare it to neptune, which i also really enjoyed, then u get a superdeluxe edition of a neptune, be it with some tweaks. Far less torps, which can be a clear drawback (my old mino dmg high was 256k, mainly through torps), but radar+smoke is an amazing combo already, add hydro to that and whats not to like? Ofc if u dont like nept/mino then dont.

In some battles it can be a very tactical route, tho more so in a high-punch cruiser like petro or stalin. Generally with BBs i like the open west flank there. But on every map some ppl always go to the wrong spot for their class

I was aware of this, and i am fine with this. But good luck with solving the next complete dumpster fire. May God/ the community have mercy on your soul

This, i was surprised too, because i knew of this compensation rule, but i never owned the Moskva Permacamo, only the ship itself. So i am not supposed to get the permacamo i guess, but hey, i wont complain

I think good strikes are possible. Havent played too much yet. But sometimes u torp a BB with good lead, double ping and they still dodge everything five times in a row. Main reason? The ping indicator. Its [edited] imo, u can see exactly when a sub uses its sonar on u. Yes it encourageous better play on the sub side, but the notification itself renders the whole ping mechanic virtually useless against BBs imo- where it should be best

My initial thought is its nonesense, since each damage type is regarded the same way for XP fafaik. However, it really matters to what target you deal the damage: 1k on a DD scores a lot more than 1k on a BB, and if you only deal dmg to one target youll get less xp than if you hit the entire enemy team a bit. I could be wrong, but i reckon a lack of different ribbons combined with only hitting 1-2 targets is probably what happened here.

If you do not like this behaviour, you can turn off small particles so that you wont see it (i believe). If you do not like giving away your own position, simply keep AA off if required.

Well this was implemented, so most likely the OP simply watched a video from a half year back. Could be wrong. Also, the skip bomber and air drop logos are similar to the asw bombers, at least to the untrained eye, so it may even have been a different bomber type? Right now, ASW bombs only damage subs, nothing else. Like how AA only attacks aircraft.

So yeah, i just had a battle where i earned more base XP as the #1 on the losing team than the #1 on the winning team did. The winners earned a star, cause they are obviously better than me, while i luckily "barely" saved a star- the #2 on our team was right on my heels with over half my XP. It is time to rework the ranked system. I got 4 kills, largely dealt the damage to 3 of them, yet i make no progress in this battle whatsoever. Rework Ranked, so it can be an actually competive game mode instead of a weird grindfest. PS i was playing with a 3pt captain on leander, imagine if i had a 21 on there

Thank you- i was playing three pointer simply cause i needed the win for anniversary & lealnder is a good ship regardless Well clearly because you dont need xp for ranked,you simply need to win. Also, capping gives good xp, especially if you didnt have a cap ribbon yet

I even think rank 1&2 should be more like 3 stars, 3-5 2, 6-7 1, 8 saves, 9-11 lose 1, 12-14 lose two. On losing side youd have to work harder for your stars- but hey, you lost. My case here shows a severe issue tho: im clearly the player with by far the best battle performance, yet seven people get a higher reward than me cause they had a better team overall. But i cant choose my team!

Lets clear something up: 1. The filter is for ships that have an active bonus for research bureau points available 2. This has been around for ages. 3. You unlock this once you get access to RB. 4. Bonus: all filters are still broken, they break when more than one filter is selected (generally)

What barbarian even presses the [Esc] with his mouse anyway

I have played Schultz mostly in ranked, using a lot of XP signals to get to higher tiers faster- cause i enjoy the line. No FXP on kansas, minnesota, vermont, elbing line etc. I didnt stop playing pan EU DDs or dutch cruisers, rather i havent finished the grind on them yet....

Also, have you actually played Schultz or Elbing? Those DDs dont specialise in killing cruisers, they specialise in being cruisers

For me the EU DDs are boring and bad. I do have Smaland, which i enjoy, but otherwise.... I really liked Kansas & minnesota, i love the german Elbing line & the dutch cruisers seem interesting at least. You dont have to play lines if you dont want to- while i have most lines completed, i am putting off the EU DD line and Italian BBs for instance cause i dont really enjoy playing them all that much. Ppl like different ships, theres no such thing as a wrong concept as long as a good amount of players like the ships

So, ive only browsed the results really quickly, but at a glance i can establish a distinct bias in the results. The "no" answer to adding in all modes is significantly higher than most other sub questions. While a case could be made that perhaps some ppl do not want it to be added to *all* modes, but rather only to a few, this discrepancy really shouldnt be so big. The poll is less neutral in its wording than one might think, but obviously i support the general outcomes- the playerbase isnt quite happy with where subs are at now. I do approve of such polls, but think in order to get more conclusive data youll need a better sample (i.e. not the forum), better questions, and more precise interpretation of results. This leads nowhere exceot saying: hey look, we dunt wanna, while everyone knows you dunt wanna. PS id be happy to help in getting some better statistics out of this

Some mods display reloaded weaponry in gray if its not the selected weapon type. Just see if you can use the ASW, easy right?

Lets not forget that Ranked has never actually been a competitive gamemode, it doesnt have any aspects that would indicate a ranking or skill-measuring system, only activity level

I dont neccessarily agree on that statement. There are ships that shine on their diversity, even though theyre certainly not best in one specific thing. Thinking Fletcher, Scharnhost, atago, etc. However, i played the tier 7 Eendracht 1 battle and it seems weak. Lousy guns, poor range, no armour, airstrike virtually useless

Most importantly, it hardly affected anyone other than ppl playing with 500+ ms ping
