As long as Pommern will be fun to play and not a heap of [redacted]...

Certainly, it's not the greatest guns, but when they hit, they at least overmatch most things. NC obviously is far more consistent. Massa is just the more survivable one.

Alright, then rebalance the Zao so she can take it hard and not die, ok?

Slava changes are like the greatest reason why this ship should be canned. Does it provide anything to the game? No. Does it actually have any historic value? No. It's not even like this ship was a blueprint, because if it was, we'd not see lulzy changes in plating strength across the board, including stuff like main belt. It's a fantasy ship with fantasy stats now that clearly is not even some obscure sekrit document anymore and just serves so the sniper at A1 can still try and be valid, while having an excuse for backline camping.

I mean, Moskva isn't that far off, is it?

Respect the forum rules and language, then we can talk about respect, alright? Until then, have a nice one.

And that is why he only brings up the official languages used by the EU, not of all European states. Political bias aside, your claim makes no sense.

WoWS is not a EU institution, it does not care about official EU languages. The EU for the server is mostly to just denote that this is a European server, which is why you also find people from countries like Norway or Serbia, who are not even in the EU. Overall, your point is unreasonable and when the language in this subsection is English, English it is.

Can work... but it'd be hard mode.

I meant TopTier when I say I wouldn't call him bad.

Yeah, it's ok to watch basics, just wouldn't take all he brings up at face value. I looked through some of his vids. I'm not going to say he is bad. But he sure could do better. Also, you can easily start a feud with him in the comment section...

*decent enough With a bit of a lack of CV unicums making vids, sure, you can watch it, but I wouldn't hype Toptier too much. Especially when he hypes Halland AA by testing it against bots and people who can't dodge... without realising that they don't. Not really commentary, but worth observing, our resident Enterprise main.

Well, good luck out there. You can enter AA from straight ahead, then dodge left or right, then dodge the other way to get back to the target, then initiate attack run to go above or below any further wall. If target starts turning, you can dodge to the side it is turning. As an advantage, coming head on makes it more irritating to use the O key on the target, as you have to decide which side you want to show. Alternatively, enter a front sector from the side, then dodge towards the ship, is also a decent enough way to start the approach. Just never go completely straight. Attacking from a rear angle is less recommended, at least with bombers, because it increases the time you spend while you have to dodge flak and there is no advantage to it. Torps at least might be harder to dodge if you use rear angle, but bombers not just are often among the slower aircraft, but also HE dive bombers can do great adjustments during the attack run without losing too much accuracy (level bombers should go straight over the ship anyway).

At 0:24 you enter AA, at 0:27 you get devastated by the flak. You had 3s to press A or D, preferably in combination with either S or W to not go head first into a black wall of flak. And you should know where it spawns. It spawns exactly where you were heading when you entered the area. But yes, this highlights CV play in 2020, or at least one side of it, when those who have no idea of AA mechanics just fail hard, while the next unicum loses 3 planes and chunks you for 20k. Vector is ok, just dodge properly. Coming from the front reduces the time you need to get to 3.5 km where flak stops spawning.

Enterprise. Second only to Kaga in number of planes it can have during a battle, biggest potential AP bomb alpha (over 30k, though large drop area. Still reliable hits a couple cits at least), most spammable rocket fighter to kill DDs and cruisers, torps are merely "good", the 10-fighter squad will win you most CV vs CV fights. Frankly, if people want to be consistently successful, CV is the best class, if one cannot or does not want to play CV, BB for the first couple days, cruisers and DDs become nice once the initial wave of unicum CV players passed and you can hope CVs might be potato. Massachusetts and NC are most consistent BBs, due to offering decent gun performance, good repair and tankiness. That's at least my prediction. After first few days, one can play whatever.

In this case, Enterprise. If you don't have one, Shokaku.

Yeah, noticed it too, but mispronouncing names is common and always was, because it's WoWS, not Duolingo, so people aren't here to learn how to speak a different language. Bagrateon or Bagratyon works, I guess, to describe the pronounciation. At least of the ending. Now, if people would get Roon right...

I thought they nerfed that down to one flag.

@Excavatus Please. You know what to do.

I wouldn't call it dishonest. Just dumb.

Look, this thread has 6 more pages than it should have, as it isn't going anywhere. No need to tell me about it. as to Ohio needing a buff, it needs not. Nothing justifies that. And would 2 more knots make it OP? Well, 30 knot speed isn't OP, but when Ohio needs no buff, then a change of +2 knots has to be compensated by a nerf elsewhere. And then the question is, what are you going to nerf. In this light, only having 28 knots seems still the best option compared to worse reload, worse survivability or other such things. And buff for buff's sake because one person experiences the ship as uncomfortable is absolutely stupid. Otherwise, please buff Stalingrad. I don't like playing it, cause it has 1130 m turning circle radius and is spotted from the moon. Does Stalingrad deserve it? Well, yes, but still, I don't like playing it, so it totally needs buffs. Nevermind thousands of people who actually like playing Stalingrad.

California is crap beyond just poor speed, but yeah.

Comfortable is a subjective quality. It's up to the person playing. Some absolutely detest slow ships, others are fine with it.

Depends on circumstances. If you are looking at first coal purchases, Moskva certainly isn't it. If you look past the Thunderer and Georgia, Moskva is worth considering though and the other T10 cruiser options in the arsenal aren't exactly more useful. Yoshino is more novel, but not more powerful really. And if you look at competitive, any season without CVs, Moskva has been a reasonable pick. And while Nevsky and Petro are both new strong additions, they aren't replacing what Moskva does. Kind of similar to how DM and Salem are reasonable ships that have been solid performers without being OP.
