the better the player, the more use he gets out of RPF.

a) "Stalin has nothing to do with a Pay Wall" b) "Exceptionally strong ships behind a pay wall" - Belfast, Kutuzov, Nikolai, Gremlin, T-61... and you now decide to complain about Stalingrad (also refer to point a) )?

you know, you might get better responses if you actually were making a point and not just lazily throwing out a link and a doomsday prediction. What exactly do you think Stalingrad is the start of? Where's the connection you see to Tanks? And yes, I've watched the QB vid.

weeeell... I was just referring to the current silver lineup at T9, which is pretty good in terms of balance overall. Including a refreshing amount of not-all-that-great BBs actually...

T9 would actually be pretty damn excellent for Ranked IF WG were to exclude every single one of the non-silver ships. Not that that's ever gonna happen, but...

to be more precise, we have this kind of thread from this specific dude nearly every week...

and this, lads, is why we really need a reaction not the rest of the UI isnt garbage, mind you...

and you really wonder where your problem is? Bismarck guns arent half bad when used at their optimal range - which is considerably shorter than for most other BBs, and that requires both guts and a brain to make use of. If you lack one of the two, you're much better off with the other BB lines...

the ever-reliable https://wowsft.com/ has you covered on that

I think you're forgetting the World's Best Fueltm: Vodka. And World's Best Lubricanttm: Vodka. Stronk Soviet Engineerering produces Stronk Ship even from Weak Capitalist Hull, Komrade!

as much fun as laughing at NA admittedly is - it's not like we didnt have those threads over here as well...

irony much?

increased Radar range, for one... only for Operation Crossroads scenario please! That could be used by WG to showcase the improvedtm and realistictm Detonation effects we've been asking for for a while...

...which makes it different from your average Random match, how exactly?

ex-Royal Sovereign was always going to be part of any russian BB lineup, only question's whether it is silver or premium. Get used to the idea.

true, but thats still a 12x305mm broadside. That... doesn't work at T3, unless you make literally everything else suck completely, along the lines of a 40s reload or thereabouts...

sister of the OR. Which is at T5. And you'd put that at T3... yeah right...

transfer up, otherwise you're never gonna end up with a decent captain anywhere. And as has already been mentioned, you really shouldn't go anywhere near T6 (or arguably even T5) without CE unlocked for a DD captain - you're just going to be hopelessly outspotted all the time otherwise.

if that weren't the case, games like this wouldn't exist...

right, a few comments I guess you'll learn why cruisers are a bit reluctant to push hard once you get the T4 Phoenix and find yourself oneshotted by enemy BBs all the time. Doesn't mean they shouldn't sometimes support you a lot more, but also cut the poor buggers some slack baaaaad idea in an IJN DD most of the time - your guns patently suck, especially at low tiers. Doesn't mean you should never use them, but generally it shouldn't be you that goes looking for a gunfight early (unless other factors skew it in your advantage, like low HP enemies or lots of support from your team). As you yourself correctly note, very true - at least on the "forcibly contest" front. What IJN DDs do usually have is the concealment advantage that makes it very unappealing for the enemy to go after a cap because you will usually see them coming. Really making use of that does require pretty extensive knowledge of the concealment values of all the ships you meet, so for a newer player like yourself caution is probably the better part of valour when it comes to going for early caps in an IJN DD. You can experiment with doing that more again a bit later on in your carreer. kinda valid at the tier you're at, and certainly always satisfying but don't get into that habit too much - as soon as you hit T5, the carriers you meet arent the slow tugboats that you're used to anymore, they can almost outrun you and are also a lot better at simply killing you. yup, although Survivability Expert is just a very good overall skill for DDs so that's also worth thinking about for a level 3 skill. No. Always. Always. Always. Grab Concealment Expert as soon as you can on pretty much any tech tree DD that isnt Russian (and even there it's the best pick on most of them, exceptions being Kiev, Tashkent Khaba and maybe Udaloi). torping a friendly is 100% always your own fault. Your torps, you launched them where you did, your responsibility if they hit a friendly. Period. Even if the other guy did something unexpected, think about it this way. Who are you to restrict his maneuvering options by just assuming "he's not gonna go there" and throwing your torps there? Doesnt mean it never happens to me of course, you can't always predict everything, but if it happens it's your fault and you shouldn't have launched those fish, plain and simple.

that is entirely a problem with you as a player, not with the mechanics...

pretty much. there are no particular reasons to focus a Furious Taco (like you would, say, a Nepnep for five million guaranteed citadels)...

looks like OP has a little minion in @Merlin851526 that up/downvotes every single comment in this thread according to their agenda... I wonder which kind of reaction I'll get from him... More to the point though - Stalingrad isnt a particularly easy ship to deal with, especially in the hands of the players that have one. And I personally don't really like how it severely blurs the line between cruisers and BBs with its sheer alphastrike - the very reason why BBs are limited to one per team, because that kind of nuke threat constrains freedom of movement quite a bit. Doesn't make the ship necessarily overpowered, but whether it's good for the meta is a different discussion.

It's not an issue, it's working as intended (whether that intent is good is a different matter ofcourse). Spotting does get rewarded, just not as much as you're used to from Tanks.
