Bad turtle back or not, Nikolai is utterly solid when angled, that clunk sound constantly

I'd rather the SC drop rate was lower but what's inside is 100% guaranteed to please most players.

OP is an example of why WG give BB more support and love. Might not even be OP trolling as I'm sure a lot of players genuinely think BBs need to be even stronger....

Yes OP needs to chill. Hood is coming and will make the MM as he desires...

I'm literally winning an SC every other day but they're all filled with trash upgrade modules. Well I did win 50 Dragon Flags in one but rest were modules.

Let's not get too hasty now. Nikolai is still stronger. It has insane dispersion, those OP front rotating turrets and crazy armour when angled. Ish needs to be almost broadside to get that middle turret working and has fairly derpy dispersion. Has a weak turtleback armour which might be a small bonus. Biggest difference is T5 things like Kongo and probably Konig, NY/Tex will do bad things to a Ish. Espically a Kongo as she's better armoured, faster and has better guns. Nikolai can face any BB in her MM with confidence.

I take just Manual AA and get nothing else towards AA. Modules or otherwise. Does the job vs most things that want to bomb you when paired with the Double Fighter.

This is my Atago build, well I'm missing DE but I'll be there soon... http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/1000100000100010000001110000000119 Pretty much fits Ish perfectly a part from the double fighter but that's a 1 point skill so meh, you have to take something down there other than the Priority Targetting

Missouri hasn't changed all since release?

Doesn't help (well not for the enemy) that an Atago captain fits Ishi perfectly... It's great as lower tiers has potatoes/general kids who don't get Prem DCP so burn like anything.

Complaining at buffs for a very mediocre ship.... You confuse the Russian makers, this is why they reward us with a flow of Lol Russian Bias ships.

Who is drawing those awesome little comics?!?

The concealment bloom changes force your hand as a DD. You really need to consider if pulling the trigger is really worth it and sometimes it really isn't. Just makes DD gameplay more like Ranked where you need to stay concealed at all costs. I don't understand how that guy got burnt for 45k by one DD in their Yam... That's a mistake on the BBs part surely? I'm playing various DDs recently and what he's described is fairly hard or just needs a lot of luck.

Got 50 Dragon Flags in an SC earlier. I'm getting SC often enough to be worth getting TYL every time.

Everyone knows how weak Kirov is and you'll get focused to hell. It's amazing how 130mm RU DD HE can citadel a Kirov from long range..

No... How is the other CV's fault your one has gone afk? That's pretty illogical. As you're saying they should be punished for something outside of their control. A potato CV is just as bad as an AFK one as they're essentially completely ineffective. Nerf skill?

There's an argument for long range HE spam, although that would only be to close the distance not to enhance even further with a spotter plane. RNG, angling and the enemy dodging means you probably won't consistently get massive citadels at long range. However a bit of HE and it's likely they'll ignite and burn, either wasting their DCP or giving you a bit of damage stack. Obviously switch back to AP for close range work and vs Cruisers...

Alabama is extremely similar to the NC, it's definitely no worse. I don't feel the sigma difference is relevant at all, since BBs shouldn't be sniping. At 12km the dispersion is more than sufficient to delete things.

Most used "Destriyer" the Akatzuki?! Way to hamstring yourself before even firing a shot...

Catches fire no easier than any other ship. Play a Russian DD and see actually how hard it is to ignite things and getting the fire to stay. It'll likely take over a minute of constant firing to get a BB burning if they're smart with DCP as you need to wait for it to pass out the immunity time.

The horse to keep T10 exclusive has well and truly bolted... The amount of folk who clearly have no clue at that level means any new Prem additions will make no difference. I mean I got a cool 190k game in my Monty earlier, so many stupid broadside BBs and Cruisers.

Russianbias was your April's Fool

I don't have access to any armour viewing models. How does Hood look like it's going to do vs IFHE? As both Colorado and Nagato take massive damage from mid calibre IFHE shells. In that respect the Gnesi does a fair bit better than the competition.

I meant immunity to 16" from the bow... NC/Alabama have the strongest BB guns of T8. 10k to 20k isn't uncommon vs broadside German BBs.

Alabama shares the slight bow vulnerability the NC has. You can still take the occasional bit of damage and even a penetration in rare circumstances through the front. Bis/Tirp are the only T8 BBs who seem completely immune to bow in 16" AP.
