which ones in particular? The values for the guns/shells have been datamined a while back, the configurations are known as having been considered historically or found in sikrit Russkie Arkifs

no we don't know these soft stats yet afaik. Colorado's max dispersion is at much much shorter range so you really can't compare those two, and Colo has one of the worst Sigma values in the entire game hence her reputation as a terrible shotgun. The module you're referring to is the 3m slot that's (so far) only available on Iowa and Montana. We have no idea yet what the upgrade slots for the German line will look like (well except for Tirpitz which suggests they're the IJN ones). You can safely ignore Real Life range numbers when it comes ot WoWS... 20km range is very plenty for a T7 as fast as Scharnhorst, I wouldn't have complained about 18km either considering she's straight up 50% faster than the Trollorado, and you don't want to sit at 20km with her in any case... Not that you want to do that in any ship ever (except Moskva I guess but that's a special snowflake if ever there was one), but Scharnhorst probably least of all - She's made to be an insane Cruiser hunter that stays close to her own CA force and nukes anything that threatens them.

Max dispersion isn't the only thing that matters for accuracy... I seem to recall she has very good muzzle velocity so great ballistics, and her modern, small(ish) guns might just give her very good Sigma (dare we hope for 2.0 or better?). Combine those two and you will hit if you're any good.

which you can judge from... one grainy-as-heck screenshot? I'll withhold my judgement until I actually see the ship model in game (at which point it may very well coincide with yours).

yeah I would have preferred that approach as well, but ah well we've got the Großer Kurfürst in this variant now - I highly doubt WG will make that radical a change to the ship now... I'm definitely going to try to get my hands on her.

do keep in mind Max Dispersion is hardly everything there is to accuracy - if she's got anything like Tirpitz ballistics and decent to good Sigma (which her advanced, smallish guns would kinda suggest) she's going to hit stuff in the right hands. A lot.

right! OK! Wasn't doubting you - it's just better to state your sources

last paragraph (regarding German BBs) was known, but the rest is very interesting - especially the shorter update cycle sounds good. Might we trouble you for a source, so we don't have to treat this as baseless hearsay (no offense)?

except, from the stats we've got, none of them actually is. Neither H39 nor notH41 have good reload. Which, I think, is sad because that's precisely what I love about my Derpitz (among other things)

have to agree - I never liked Großdeutschland as a name, less for historical reasons, more because I thought it sounded daft. Großer Kurfürst isn't perfect by a long shot (where's my Battleship Barbarossa! ) but it'S decent enough

shells look very similar to the mod (using it myself) iirc... didn't pay special attention to them on the PTS, but remember thinking something like "hey these look familiar"

that, and Extended Tech Tree - not seeing Premiums you want to buy is stupid. Other than that, yep.

I came here expecting yet another stupid whine thread. I want my money back. Together with all the shits I just lost watching this! Noice!

so, where's our mysteriously beloved Krupp value in this?

not really, especially after a bit of getting used to... but you can also ctrl+x to lock your turrets where you are currently aiming (won't follow a target). Just make sure you remember to unlock them again before you fire (ctrl+x again), since bino mode doesnt do that automatically and you can get some hilariously unplanned teamkills that way if the stars align just wrong (there was one instance of that in one of iChase's Nautical Tales a while back)

one more try - this discussion (while interesting on its own merits) is wildly off topic and again polluting a valuable thread. can you PLEASE take it elsewhere, like the one I linked earlier. PLEASE. Cant be that hard can it -.-

French Battleships have been discussed quite a bit already - that thread could do with a bit of a revival anyway, take it there please; more appropriate place than here

not even a question. Nagato all the way. Colorado only wins in a direct nose on 1v1 with a Nagato and has betterAA, but loses in pretty much every single other category.

and that's the main reason why Team Battles are awesome: rewards may be meh, meta may be campy, premiums may be OP - but there's nothing better than having your entire team on voice comms, disciplined (more or less), with a designated leader that calls out targets and tactics and everyone calling out fires/repairs, torps, spotting requests, what have you.

just met 22cm in ranked, shot his Pensacola to bits in my Nagato - to which his reaction was a rather less than friendly "Lucker!"

Furry Taco is pretty widespread... Derpitz/Torpitz to add to txtspeak... also, I'm 99% sure there was a thread about this a while back, search that and I'm sure you'll find loads more

almost any well played ship can kill almost any badly played ship. I've eaten Fusos alive in my Nikolai (ok yes Nikolai isnt representative but still... two tiers difference...).

never seen or heard of that...

cynic? maybe, but also valid points... going to be interesting how this plays out, and tbh making solo capping a wee bit harder for DDs isn't necessarily a bad thing...
