They are ok cruisers and that was obvious from their magic AP from the start. That does not make them good DD.

Ganz einfach. War es zuviel, warst Du in der falschen Position.

The secondaries offset nothing. You get shot to pieces when you move in too early. You will be out of secondary range most of the match for most of your matches.

Man brennt aber weniger wenn man weniger beschossen wird. Und das hat mit dem Spielstil zu tun. Es macht einen Unterschied ob ich 2 Mio potentiellen Schaden in 5 Minuten erhalte und sinke oder ob ich 2,5 Mio potentiellen Schaden in 15 Minuten erhalte und am Ende noch schwimme.

They do not, unless you are switching between torps and guns. But that has nothing to do with European DD.

Nach 12 bis 18 Monaten Pause ist man auch Experte für das High Tier. Man darf halt nicht zu aggressiv vorfahren, wenn man keinen Ausweg hat.

The ship has a similar AP penetration as Henry with less DPM and less range. The advantage for Napoli is that she is probably tougher than Henry. Henry is the 7th best Tier X silver cruiser.

Improve your predictions. They are the easiest torps to hit enemy ships.

Bei mir wird der direkt auf dem Bildschirm angezeigt. Das war glaube ich die 4.

Because WG and many players want a Dutch ship in the Dutch tree.

That is not about WG, but my opinion. But feel to ask for more ships with smoke radar.

As far as I know, you cannot buy Friesland anymore. And people want to have a ship like her in the Dutch tree.

As I said, she is supposed to be a copy. Changing her would not make her a copy. People, who did not get the Friesland, would complain that they cannot get a ship with the same parameters.

Which does not answer my question...

Fahr nicht zu früh in den Nahkampf. Du brauchst eine Öffnung in der gegnerischen Stellung damit dies funktioniert. Stell sicher das Du einen Ausweg hast, um wieder weg zu kommen. Such Dir ein anderes Ziel. Gegen so angewinkelte Ziele sind die wenigsten BB gut. Ein einzelnes Schiff dürfte da weniger das Problem sein, anonsten überleg Dir wie Du Dein Schiff ausgerüstet hast und wie Du Deine Vebrauchsgüter einsetzt.

And do you think they are good for the game?

Then do not buy her.

She is supposed to be a copy of Friesland. And stealth radar, especially from smoke, is bad for the game.

Du hast eine Entdeckungsreichweite, wenn Du in oder durch Nebel schießt. Die war wahrscheinlich größer als Dein Abstand zum Gegner.

From the looks of it, she has 220mm belt armor. At around 4km or less you can get through with 15xmm guns. Nevsky can do that at around 14km.

Napoli is out of testing state and her stats get counted now.

Borodino does not look impressive and gets outperformed by non-russian premium BB at the moment...

Who would have expected that?

I see the lack of range of the Tier V and VI as an even bigger issue than their lack of firepower.

Who would have guessed. Knowing how this game works is an advantage...
