mind: blown

That's why I excluded the T10 ;) All others, however, have a hard time landing shells. Only Lyon can throw enough dirt at the wall. Or the players mess up their aim so gloriously that dispersion actually favours them.

How are stats an illogical answer? The armor is nothing special, they all have huge superstructure, gun accuracy is inconsistent at best, the shell calibres are nothing to brag about, and most of them don't have a plane to spot for themselves.

Lyon is great once you get used to her lack of accuracy. At least she makes up this flaw by sheer number of shells. The rest of the line, especially T8+... well. Let's just say I will use Alsace in coop to get the campaign done and I hope to never see that crap in my port again. Fun fact: my Mikasa has a better main battery hit rate than Alsace, and Richelieu surpassed Mikasa by 1% only yesterday. Glad you like them, OP, but I prefer ships that can actually hit the targets I fire at. edit: In return, however, I am not afraid of turning full broadside against any French BB except Lyon and Republique. They need all the luck in the world to punish me for that.

Scuttling is more of a German thing ;) Unless they get "scuttled" by their allies

Didn't experience any disconnects or freezes lately. But since latest patch I have a lot of fps drops from 144 fps (native) to ~50-70 fps. feelsbadman :<

Can confirm: 2-0-3 setup, bombs have huge delay. So it must be the original one. But it truly doesn't matter as the operation is overrun by Atlantas and Flints. No aircraft will get anywhere near your ship as long as you are not utterly out of formation.

I feel you, bro...

If you have ever played Ranked, you probably know which kind of gameplay this feature promotes in Warships. I guess it is okay in Tanks due to its faster pace (have not played WoT, only WT some while ago) but it would completely annihilate any incentive for teamplay. For many players, possibly including me, farming enough XP to not rank second or lower in the team roster will take such a high priority that spotting, contesting, shielding, denying etc will be obsolete. There is no need to play for wins anymore but only to top the score. Such feature completely screwed the T6 ranked season where a significant number of BB players hugged the border far away from the objectives with their Fuso and only tried to farm dmg over their max range.

I rest my case :)

I'm currently training him for Alsace. I'd possibly consider using him on HIV but I'm still at Charles Martel and not enjoying her enough to continue. EM is kind of overkill for the fast turning French turrets though.

My NA account even got a Giulio Cesare along with this package :>

Stop defeating bouncer's teams, please D:

Sometimes playing more selfishly can help a lot. It forces other people to make a move (if they want to win). Sometimes they have more influence on the fleet or their flotilla and/or you can capitalise on their action rather than hoping they act on yours.

My greatest achievement today was this screenshot. Thanks WeeGee

I use it on Zao and on German cruisers past T8. The torpedo spotting range with German hydro is just insane. (I still fail to dodge :D)

Well yeah... I failed to carry this excrement of a battle... And I got reported for that. Karma working as intended.

@Mr_Tayto Main reason are the turrets I guess. I simply like the combined firepower of 4x3 better than the constant hail of 5x2. Neptune is the last "conventional" cruiser of the line, i.e. ship that follows the Leander design. Minotaur differs greatly from that imho. It truly is a question of personal taste though.

I'd recommend RN for now - Edinburgh is not that bad and Neptune will be your reward for the grind (I like Neptune better than Minotaur). Give Edinburgh a try if you liked Fiji's playstyle. I skipped the IJN line from Aoba to Zao for the same reason you don't want to grind. It cost approx. 500k free xp but Zao is very well worth it. Maybe you want to save up as well. The KM line is... consistent but perhaps a bit boring. You are at fragile Königsberg so you can imagine what Nürnberg will be like (long range, good guns, no armor - there is a reason for the term "obligatory exploding Nürnberg" in every match). The heavy cruisers are jacks of all trades but master of none. I like them, especially the Hipper that I find way better than her reputation, but in the end they are all more or less the same, only with more guns and better hydro.

Just play a few games and use an emblem instead. Like the top cruiser tentacle pr0n emblem :)

If you follow the average BB, your planes will have a looong way to go for resupply And sticking too close to said BBs will often result in you being used as a meatshield. Better set some ship waypoints to have it patrolling somewhere so you are less predictable for the enemy CV and still have momentum to dodge incoming attacks.

Makarov is basically a C-hull Nürnberg (the AA hull) with Russian armament. iirc she still has the 1/4 HE pen since her guns and shells are unchanged but gets a standard Hydro instead of the German one. Tbh, I always defended poor Nürnberg. But seeing how I cripple or devastrike them in mid-tier battles, I really think she ship needs something more. Yes, she has a pretty long range and good steering. But that can't be all, can it?

Well, in my case it's pretty simple: I sank that Edinburgh just barely after the points hit 1000. So there is a tiny timeframe in which such stunts can happen apparently. But the result looks hilarious nonetheless.
