My Bismarck also has BFT and AFT, I think that puts her AA on par with Ägir's, but full squadrons of tier 8 CV often make 3 or even 4 attack runs on her, even if I deploy fighters, which is totally unacceptable.

exactly the same story as for CV

https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/137417-ludendorff-nerf/ hahahaha

I have 2 German BB commanders, one per spec. I'm really not sold on the Ägir. I like the Scharnhorst A LOT, that's why I will get Odin. But Ägir's similarity to Scharnhorst stops at the smaller caliber guns. Scharnhorst has 50mm deck armor, 80mm citadel roof and a high reaching 350mm armor belt. Ägir has 30mm deck armor (lol), 60mm citadel roof and insignificant lateral armor. Hello citadels, HE pens and more. Entirely different playstyle. But I generally don't like high tier cruiser play that's only based on guns and short range torps, usually I can't approach any target and stay alive long enough to use the torps anyway, it's rather a situational emergency short-range weapon. And the German torps are so slow anyway, if they are not shot almost point-blank, even BBs can avoid them. And Ägir doesn't even have fighters to help fend off CV... and it's less agile than Scharn... this will be a torp fest with even tier 8 CV making 3 attack runs on it if there is no other ship to help with AA. The missing fighters are too much downside - why on earth couldn't they at least include fighters or AA fire ?? I feel Ägir is just unattractive as it has nothing special to offer, it will just be cannon fodder aka "game content" for the upcoming OP Russian CV, as well as for tier 8 CV that are already in the game, and which I feel are overpowered. So I will probably get Alaska. For the coal, I read somewhere Ludendorff will be available for coal - I might wait to see how hard it will be nerfed before ending up buying Georgia. Georgia... oh no... I just saw it has only 6 guns... this will again be RNG laughing in my face when for 5 straight salvos I hit nothing, 3 shells right, 3 shells left, or 3 overpens and 3 ricochets... Gneisenau all over again... I noticed BB with less than 9 guns tend to just miss their target, no matter how well aimed. so I really hope Ludendorff will be usable.

consider this: for now, I haven't got any tier 9 premium ship, let alone a tier 9 at all, so I'm very interested in getting the best ship I can get for 1 million XP, because I won't get another one too soon. BTW, which coal ship on tier 9 or 10 would you recommend right now?

I have yet to buy my first free XP ship... I really wanted to get Ägir but I compared it to Alaska, and the latter outclasses it in nearly every aspect such as armor and manoeuvrability, except for torpedoes and some details that don't matter much (a bit better concealment, minor additional damage, 300m longer secondary range). Even Alaska has much better HE damage than Ägir (4300 vs. 3600). and on top, Alaska has 1 additional consumable slot and can switch consumables, and it has radar, whereas Ägir only gets mandatory hydro and repair, and that's it. I don't know what WG was thinking when making Ägir so much inferior to Alaska, the price to pay for some lame and slow torps is way too high. Also, I encountered Ägir several times in battle already, it was never a big problem, whereas Alaska is usually a PITA.

this is WG... what's likely or not with WG is entirely open for speculation.

lol, no, that's twisted logic. I can always ask anyone to prove what they say. So I take it you have no proof of what you claimed.

re-read my post, I said *maybe* it's not the same RNG you affirmed it is the same, as a certainty. proof please.

not really - I decided I want the Graf Spee! and maybe I'll cough up 150 baht for the Odin too. BTW, do you have proof for your claim that RNG in scenarios is the same as in randoms?

I contend RNG *could be* different in scenarios than in randoms.

Azuma, Alaska, Ägir or Friesland ? I compared the ships and had a close look at Ägir, but compared to Alaska, it seems to be inferior in nearly all aspects. Alaska has more gun range, is more manoeuvrable, has better air defense, and seems to have much better armor too. and it also has RADAR ! what's your opinion? where should my 1 mio XP go?

... or why are there so much more radar ships in battles now ?

no you didn't but the name rings a bell

thanks for all your replies then.. hmm... difficult decision... lol I'm kinda sad though, why did they make Alaska so OP then?

so I had this happen several times now and it is super annoying: targeted enemy ship, aimed, clicked the mouse to shoot, and a fraction of a second after, the target disappears. My first two shots are on target, but all the rest of the *same salvo* proceeds to hit either an island in front of the target or the ocean 2km behind the target. so it seems that turrets *instantly* target something else when the target ship gets unspotted. it doesn't really make sense, how can they change targets in less than 100ms? also, the turret got its order to fire already. could we please keep the current aiming for the current salvo (and for the current salvo only) that is in the process of being fired?

yeah - I asked about a mod for that in the mods section :)

it would be better to give participants a pre-determined set of ships to choose from (available for all) and 19-point captains for all, no special modules.

I am firing the guns in sequence. but I now lean in favor of firing them all at once, since that workaround will solve the issue. is there a setting to disable firing guns in sequence?

I fear people are casting votes without understanding what the question is really about - same as in real life then.

well, that's easy - the first turret shoots - both shells or all three shells or all 4 shells are more or less on target... then... the other turrets shoot, all of which grossly miss the target, evidently and obviously not shooting at the same target as the first turret.

So my input on that is that Scharn is no HE spammer. I played it early on and got horrible stats with it, but my recents should be better - got some good battles in it recently. I think the main thing I like about it is the precision of the 280mm guns and the number of shells makes cits much more likely than when playing Bismarck where cits depend on not being on RNG's shitlist.

no no... there is nothing to predict, I am talking only about shots within the same salvo that was already aimed and is being fired. ok, I will add some bold and underlined text styles to make it more visible.

Scharn is not a HE spammer. I like it a lot and it does good damage with AP vs. cruisers and broadside BB

and originally the thread was about my perception of an increased number of radar ships...
