Well, for that ship either the whole WG balance team had been smoking some hardcore stuff or WG just wants to make w P2W ship.
-
There's a reason why currently no ship in the game has both smoke and is able to launch planes. It would make it possible to shoot from smoke without even having someone spotting for you, which would be OP. The idea for this DD is nice, but it would be very difficult to properly balance.

Tier 9 and 10 planes are already fast enough for that extra bit of concealment not to matter that much.
-
Erm... Izumo has very good turret rotation for a BB... Tho you are right when it comes to most other ships using that layout.
-
Hate ships with two out of three turrets on the [edited]because it makes them bad for pushing straight into enemies.
-
Cause selecting another target is always possible and the team always grills things with HE...
-
She ain't no Tirpitz, she's even better for her tier. Only real downside compared to Tirpitz is one less turret, but in turn she meets much weaker opponents. Of all the BBs I've played so far I would say she's the strongest for her tier.

WG's reaction to the complaints about CVs not doing well in the new economy

USN Bofors mk.1-2 obselite vs. RN Bofors mk.5 AA guns
Ictogan replied to Beardroid91's topic in General Discussion
We don't need even more AA in this game... -
They don't have a magazine module unlike regular ships. Pretty sure I read it from the devs somewhere and I can't recall a single instance of seeing a CV detonate in over 5k battles, so I'm pretty certain.
-
Not CVs. Clearly they are OP!

WG's reaction to the complaints about CVs not doing well in the new economy
Ictogan replied to Ictogan's topic in General Discussion
Guess what? The max damage potential for a Ryujo attack is the same as that of a Shokaku attack! Clearly a good Ryujo player could bring a Montana to 50% HP in a single attack, right? Also, your math is wrong. Bombs can never do more than a third of their maximum listed damage because they work the same way as HE shells. Exception being ships which have their citadel right under their deck, but the only such ship I can think of would be Orlan... Also isn't it kinda strange how tons of people who argue that CVs aren't OP have a good amount of BB battles but pretty much all people who argue that CVs are OP don't have any CV battles(except low tier)? -
Show ship dispersion in ship parameters
Ictogan replied to Jack_Sparrow123's topic in General Discussion
The dispersion isn't angular though. Dispersion in wows is calculated as a linear function - m*range+b=dispersion with m and b being different for each line of ships. Also for low ranges they use another function to calculate dispersion. -
Actually it didn't increase arming time, arming time stays exactly the same. However it does increase arming distance, because the torpedo travels a larger distance in the same time due to the higher speed.
-
Please remove the picture, naming&shaming is against the forum rules. The correct way to report this would be by contacting support.
-
WG decided not to implement that change.
-
If only noobs spam HE, that means I must be a noob. Master, pls tell my how to fight BBs in cruisers or gunboats without HE so that I can stop being a noob!
-
You'll also have to angle against CAs in your Iowa, otherwise they can do really nasty things to your health. And you getting only 1060 damage was either very bad luck or just lousy aim. Always try to aim at the center of a ship and a little bit above the waterline when the ship is broadside. On the other hand, when in a cruiser and engaging a BB, your armor won't really stop his shells, so your main goal is to avoid them as much as possible.
-
Actually you can hold them pretty well. Once you are controlling the cap you can get behind the islands there and have far better cover than the enemies going for the cap.
-
Actually going A is not a bad idea because the enemies spawn a bit further away from it, so you can get there first. The islands also give you some nice cover while going in. So far I've gone A each time I spawned south and C each time I spawned north and usually it were very good games.

Just how ridiculous DD's really are, DD's fans i laugh at you
Ictogan replied to FrankMVenlo's topic in Archive
I like BBs, I just hate the players complaining about them being too weak because other ship types can also do damage to them. Way too many people seem to believe that their BBs should be invulnerable to anything but other BBs. -
Use DE in the fourth row, with it Hindenburg is just as good a firestarter as Zao. That way you can do good damage to ships that aren't showing you broadside. Also get expert loader once you have 16 points on your captain because it makes it faster to switch ammo types when you see an unexpected broadside.

What is the reason for the forums to exist?
Ictogan replied to cherry2blost's topic in General Discussion
And quite frankly it doesn't feel like that community team does a good job. Heck, it barely feels like they are doing a job at all. People have complained about no proper communication for pretty much as long as the forum existed it feels like and nothing about the amount of communication is ever changing... -
Well, Gneisenau can overmatch the entirety of Colorado's bow while Coloradon can only overmatch a small part of Gneisenau's bow. And Gneisenau can tank Colorado shells pretty well even while only at a mediocre angle which can't be said in reverse. And there's secondaries. So I'd say Gneisenau has the advantage in a brawl even without the torps.
-
Factually incorrect and if small ships couldn't do anything against bigger ships, why would anyone ever play them? This game has never been realistic.
