Good idea in theory. However... Usual snowflakes I meet complains about the chat being used to direct tactics. We'd just see complaints on forum about annoying overlay from < 45% wr players Other solution is to play ranked games and get >R10, that gets alot better than randoms (mayb the worst potatoes dont know you can change battle type )

Thanks. Could only get the front page and kept looking under statistics and raw data, somehow not thinking the useful data would be under weekly rankings.

can you link pls?

Maple syrup is just tables, and not very user friendly names either, no? I never put in the effort to figure it out

No disagreeing there. But it means we have to compare things like PC, DM and Worchester or stalingrad and smolensk in terms of which ship is more valuable, taking up that slot. Those are obviously very different ships, but which is better? We are also reaching a point where those supercruisers are comparable to battleships a tier lower (Iowa and PC for instance)

According to WG they are comparable, taking up the same cruiser slot in the MM

Thanks. And yeah, it fits my experience quite well. They are quite nice charts....Source?

Did a comparison of Goritza to the Fiji in another thread. It wasn't pretty. Goritza is a tier 5 or tier 6 ship in comparison. Fiji with similar consumables in a simplified sense outstats the Goritza in every single category except hydro range and armor. Goritza has one glaring weakness that severely limits its carry capacity: It cannot deal with BBs. Even AFK BBs (although it can tickle them if it gets a broadside). Thus Gortiza is extremely dependent on DD rich games and on the friendly DDs to stay alive and carry for it. Sure it is fairly easy to catch DDs with hydro traps and in DD rich games it can carry somewhat. It can even delete the occasional cruiser with AP or just sAP chip damage (although damage is often underwhelming if targets actively dodge) But... when MM decides to throw it a game with CV, 1 DD and 5-6 BBs per side....calling it a dumpster would be an insult to dumpsters. And when i did my Goritza directives, can you guess what the most common line-up it faced was? Has anyone found it differently? I do my Zara grind in Narai. Without torps, hitting 150k and 4-5 kills isnt too hard, but the carry capacity is...limited. However... Having played Trento and Goritza in random battles, I'm done using that pasta garbage outside PvE at least untill i get Amalfi with improved sAP pen angles.

WG: You arn't meant to have counterplay vs CV. Its why they nerfed AA into the ground. Either you join the CVs or you bend over and take it. The best way to avoid getting targeted is staying max 2 km from a teammate untill you see something other than RFs on the map.

Harugumo Benham ??? (maybe Daring)

Its a bit dated as concealment and possibly other things was nerfed before release, but in terms of gun mechanics and captain perks, here is everything you need to know:

Heroz has almost 50 members, but we cant even field 8 players to do CB (the ambitious players go in the ambitious sister clans). So: Ignored the event. I thought clan brawls was meant as a stepping stone for smaller clans toward CBs. Unless WG changed policy, this event show once again they are completely out of touch with their player base. On the other hand, 4v4 clan brawl during holidays was great since we had an easy time gathering players for that. Screw the rewards, we finally got to play competitive and went on an epic winstreak.

Can you do better than the port UI? Could be high server load as I'm still getting dc'ed from port occasionally, but this went on for over a quarter of an hour where i could open armory, directives etc. Makes me wonder if WG "improved" the port UI yet again? Now with Captain Jingles calling the shots.

I havn't heard of a new soviet supercruiser with those characteristics that can be built in the Dockyard during the naval anniversary of russia in May. And it's completely free if you complete 11 impossible directives in 10 days (or you can instant complete it if you buy 3 boosters costing you 100.000 doubloons each plus instant completion fee of 500.000 doubloons)

If that isn't a Yamataprise, I dont know what is!

I'd forgotten about the 12 month premium on discount for doubloons, so now I actually went with that option. Thx for reminding me!

Contemplated he same thing, although in my case the question is whether to burn 15k doubloons for instant completetion. 6k doubloons for a T10 is a good price, similiar to one tier X permaflage. I would not regret having spent the doubloons, even if she turns out to be a port queen. I guess another question is: What would you rather use the doubloons for? In my case, 15k doubloons could buy me 3 tier X premium camos for silver ships i enjoy playing. Or they could buy me a premium CV (GZ cost 14k) or Massachusets (13k) - which with 25% discount would still leave enough for a tier X permaflage. In other words i get more value for money by spending the doubloons elsewhere. Unfortunately there are no premiums in the shop that interests me (have Ohio and tier X CVs), and I already have permaflages for most of the tier X and IX ships I enjoy, so maybe I will simply sit on the doubloons untill better oppertunities comes along. I don't like the USN cruiser playstyle either so I dont see myself playing the PC much. The Benham cost me 2,5k doubs in summer and is one of the most enjoyable ships in my port. Maybe another oppertunity like that comes along.

Do have Sansonetti, but it makes little difference. Main problem is she has no way to deal with BBs unless they are afk or complete drooling idiots (and even then she can't kill them if bow on). I had games where I killed DD and 1-2 cruisers and would have carried in other cruisers, but because I couldnt kill the BBs in time it was a loss. It has painfully little carry potential if you dont get that all important DD snipe off (and your own DD doesn't suicide, which is already rare) Compare Goritza to the flower of tier 7 cruisers, the Fiji, and you would be surprised Fiji isn't 2 tiers higher. They have very similar ammuntion and consumables, but Fiji outstats Gorizia in every single category except gun caliber, hydro range and possibly armor. Fiji also has sAP but 50% more guns with 50% faster reload (152 mm instead of 203mm), it has (normal) smoke, 4 km hydro, torps and a heal not to mention ~2 km better concealment and slightly better maneuverability. Goritza have 6k more hp but no heals, so even the health advantage goes to the Fiji. Armorwise Gorzia does get it slightly better, but in my experience it just makes her more prone to take citadels, not less (CL armor: sailing broadside and laugh as BBs gets nothing but overpens).

Literally her only selling point is DD hunting, but what if MM throws games with max 1 DD at you repeatedly? She can't fight BBs at all under any circumstances (no torps), CVs eats her alive and her concealment is so bad most cruisers outspot her. How she has such a good WR on WoWsnumbers is beyond me. She has no tools to influence the match after DDs die.

If you want stealth torp ability on low tiers: IJN is it. Unfortunately, guns are trash untill tier 7. List of fun silver DDs in mid tiers: Tier 4: Clemson (yolo torps) Tier 5: Shenyang, Kamikaze sisters, Minekaze. Tier 6: Fushun Tier 7: Gadjah Mada, Jervis, Shiratsuyu. Honorable mention to my favorite downtiered Shimakaze: Benham

This, although some protection vs CV spotting would be welcome. Was farming UK baseXP in Daring today and the level of throw was of truly epic proportions. Due to everpresent CVs, I literally had to take out tryhard swiss-armyknife Mino to get a win. On a side note: Downed 22 planes in Daring one game where unicum CV decided to focus me all game long, survived this long because sorrounding teammates were good.

Whatever you do, Frenchies don't get 1/4 pen and more importantly, they are 32 mm armor all over making them very attractive BBQ targets for spam-ships. IFHE lets you pen DDs and cruisers, but really the frenchies are about starting fires with their secondaries. It is hard to justify more than getting manual secondaries. Can't remember the numbers for the Alsace vs Republiqe Also:

No but it's tragically funny that WG finally found a way to make the most trolly builds useful again (Hipper, Eugen, Aqui mod, secondary GZ) Purely by accident!

Untill 1v1 ranked

This pretty much sums it up for me too. Got it from completing the first 3 directives and boy was that a sailing dumpster.
