RUSSIANBlAS

lel it's ok now Looks like KGV will have listed 14" guns but they're perform as 15" in game. Just close your eyes and think of Real Life™ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone noticed any difference now the upper decks have been made into non citadel zones on Missouri/Iowa and Monty? They feel marginally stronger but if you play properly and don't lol broadside then I don't think there is any real change. They'll still take huge citadels at long range when used by sleepy players.

KGV is in ST. No one is sure whether it's T7 or T8 yet. However from the sounds of it, there is already a BB lineup which suits KGVs place in T8...

Yes I laughed at WG's fixes for the history nerd rage. Just make them 15" in everything except name. I imagine Aslain will have mods that will totally remove any 381mm text

A complete redesign like you suggested of KGV would be bad, worse than stuffing 15" fantasy guns into the existing turrets... The WW1 vintage 15" gun was probably great for real world BB encounters. Any cannon that big landing a hit is going to do massive damage, regardless of the armour and gun modelling in this computer game...

Well the GK surprised me when it was announced... I assumed KM BB would have been H39 then a bigger H of some sort as the Germans only ever had 2x4 designs I think? WG's RN choices seem to have taken the opposite to what designs are out there. It's almost like GK could have been tweaked into a RN BB and Conqueror tweaked for KM almost....

Be interesting to see why WG have gone almost completely fantasy for T10. I think it's what I think, as in they just want to add some variety to T10 BBs.

Wouldn't that arguably feel a bit Monty like in this game? I'm just a casual history buff, I am all for how the Conqueror looks but I'll agree KGV 15" looks like a bad batch of vodka amongst the designers.

The KGV thing is a bit bad, considering the real thing performed well during WW2. No real reason to mess around with it's configuration, unless WG cannot think of a way around the lower calibre and the lack of overmatch. Maybe we'll find the 14" and 15" are both viable? Then everyone will be happy. Incidentally would the 15" be complete fantasy or another re-hash of that WW1 vintage on Warspite/Hood/Vanguard/lots of other stuff. T10 looks fine to me, adds a different flavour to the BB line up as it's something new for T10. Did the RN even have a super BB in any sort of design during WW2? My understanding is all their huge BB designs were inter war...

I've found over the last few days I'm getting dumped out of game at the BATTLE! button then having to reconnect to a game I haven't even connected to yet. Is that what you mean OP?

T8 shouldn't be paper as all other nations save IJN with their lol earthquake Amagi have and will have (French and Italian) representatives. I just see Conqueror as a gigantic Warspite. WG like their upscaled BB designs. Just look at the FdG which is basically a bigger Bismarck, although plenty will argue that the KM H class had at least been laid down. WG are known for top tier fantasy, I don't see the surprise.

The operation really isn't hugely difficult. I imagine any 7 folk on here could clear it in an hour if not first go after agreeing a plan. It's the random players that yolo in an Emerald or a T5 CV that make it hard Maybe a T5 only attempt might be amusing to try?

The game mechanics are solid I think. If ships armour mirrored real ones then games would be far more frustrating. Like whilst the real Bismarck took countless shells to sink/force a scuttle, she was hamstrung then crippled fairly soon into the operation. In game that would be like taking one salvo and a TB at the start then being a sitting target for 20mins.

Ships is a deliberate departure from Tanks where it's better to lose and do monster damage than to win at all costs. Maybe you didn't cause enough damage to other DDs and your 47k was against a Yam. You'd be top if that 47k was killing other triangles. The only loser from this is going to be you as your game is going to suffer from being selfish. Your Moskva might have got 200k damage. Also I laugh at that kill stealing FdG on the other team coming bottom

Also DD's sneaking into the exclusion zone can cause problems. The BB contagion is in PvE too, if they all miss and there's no nearby cruisers then that DD is messing up your 5 star chance. Notice how the scenario is Axis (IJN and KM as the goons) with your AI support as all USN. The supply ships, the Lex and the rofflepwn Cavalry at the end Saipan, Pepsi and Missouri...

Very true but Khaba is simply a Kiev on steroids, it's the same type of ship whereas other DDs just have to deal with Russian power. I mean I can't see any reason for playing a Kiev unless I'm with friends in a Division. For solo play, Khaba always. Although Kiev is an animal when vs T6...

I hit a low tier cruiser in a Ryujo in the PvE mission. The DB did almost 10k damage which made me double take. That RNG or some sort of penetration of the Cruiser's deck?

Dafaq, AR on a CV. Letting yourself get half sniped for stronger reloads lel Standard CV build really, the level 1 rearm is never bad. Dogfighting Expert is decent as you are almost always going to be under tiered on planes. In essence I use my Hiryu captain on Kaga. Emergency Take Off is interesting but anything after regular CV skills I pump into AA as I utterly hate being sniped.

Your mod issue is old Aslain. His newest release fixes the blank flags. Nikolai and October Revolution are brutish, very Russian looking. Not elegant to my eyes but they look pretty imposing.

I use Blys as a lower tier Khaba. Problem with Kiev is the MM. Anything that is T8 has to be very good as you're always liable to face T10 anyway. The amount of times I've played Udaloi or Kiev and seen enemy Khabas and I've wished I went OP instead

It's so good that I think it makes Gremy and Nikolai look weak for their tier. Khaba is a riot to play, I refuse to buy the perm camo as I live in fear WG will nerf it again. If someone has grinded to T10 with RU DDs then Khaba really is the ultimate power.

Khaba, FGD, Scharn, Sims, Atago, Saipan, Monty, Tirp. Mostly a P2W wallet Warrior Also ironic how BB Heavy my list is but I don't play them much now...

I take the double float plane thing, it really helps vs the CV you might face. AR SI And CE Dunker is squishy, you don't want to attract attention until your own guns are in effective range. EM is probably never needed as the turrets are placed in awesome bow positions. For luxury skills I'll probably take AFT and Manual AA. I'm never for taking anything like FP or HA for BBs. Prem consumables and flags are enough imo.

The fact they're in ST right now means folk need to chill a bit. They'll be here soon enough and we'll find out if WG will hit peak Warships after folk are bored of RN BB. Probably already been said but RN BB look similar to the USN line to an extent. Slow *Edited ships until T7 then T8+ fast stuff. Daily Bounce says the BBs have Warspite like zombie heal which I can see being toned down. Nelson and KGV finally

CPU Lex only behaves like a normal potato CV... Yoloing near the enemy with no survival sense
