Imo there's no real reason (apart from the accuracy) to play the Nikolai when you have the Orion.. Orion has almost everything better.

Orion?

Then they should get rid of that 'X on the minimap'-mod as well. Why remove something from vanilla if you're going to keep something worse (imo) in the official mod pack.. ::edit:: Just to clarify; idc if they remove it from vanilla, as long as they also remove those stupid crap from the mod pack.

Not fond of its effect on smoke-oriented teamplay. I used to fequently smoke Cruisers and Battleships so they could get closer and provide support. Nowadays most don't even get close enough to provide decent support, as the smoke is useless for them if they want to shoot.

12v12 Derzki (torp only) 12v12 Mutsu (torp only)

^ this What's the purpose of Cruisers if you're going the give their "specialty" (i.e. multipurpose consumables) to BBs?

Yeah the only reason I put Mr. Seagull in the DM It might be good idea to start him Pepsi and up, as he'll probably be 19pts once you reach DM. And the faster shell switch will probably help Pepsi, NO and Balti as well.

I know, but like I said, I had too much Free XP I kept my Balti captain, put Seagull in the DM

Sorry I didn't notice your name.. seems like you played well! @WolfGewehr, maaybe setting that bounty jinxed your defeat No "balls deep" battle for me though.. First time I got spotted I had 7 people aiming at me

Too much free XP in stock.. It's not a bad ship tbh OT: Baltimore is one of my favourite high tier ships so far (about 160k XP extra with her). DM's radar is godlike though with the special upgrade.. 56s of radar

Pensacola is better since its buff (or so I've heard). I never disliked the ship, even in her "poor" state. I recently unlocked the DM and I like it a lot. Great AA, concealment, radar, AP, reload time. I loved the Baltimore for the same reasons (it has less DPM though), and I still sail her a lot - even though I have the DM. NO is still in my port and from time to time I also still sail her, but her AA is not that great and her DPM is even lower. Conclusion: nice combo radar + concealment (T8+), great American AP (T7+), great AA (T9+)

<- this I can't believe (after all this time) so many players still don't know about repair costs Btw, 20k servicing cost is nothing. I usually spend three times as much on Premium consumables alone

I don't really have a problem with radar ships; usually I ask my team at the start of the battle to try to focus the enemy radar ships (during the battle I also "F3" them a lot). I do have a problem with unbalanced radar MM though, I don't think one team should get 2 or 3 radar ships while the other gets none...

Detonations suck ***, but as I don't think WG will remove them, I think it's better to not let them ruin this game for you. I must be doing something wrong though, as I have almost 800 anti-deto flags

I think you're better off with the De Grasse - not only is it overall a (slightly) better ship than the Duca, but you can use it to (re)train French captains (so far there is no Italian ship line). And I really dislike the abysmal fire chance on the Duca

Couldn't this be considered as an unfair advantage due to modding?

When selecting a Premium camouflage that I don't have, I can no longer look around the ship to check out the aesthetics of the camouflage... Also (as mentioned a couple of times before), the new division window is not optimal. Not only is the list of players/ships (unnecessarily) joined with the chat box, making it uncomfortably large, but if the chat server crashes, the division commander can't get the division into battle..

Basically this. I've had multiple battles where the enemy team was sailing together in 2-3 "blobs", and I simply couldn't strike them.

While I do think another Premium BB is not what the game needs, at least this one's citadel should be reliably hit (unlike some other potato-proof ships).

Duvel gets boring after some time though...

Sad but true indeed.. Especially T6+ DDs that go ""hunt the CV""

Some players are just too dumb.. Last night an enemy NC was doubting my DD play, as I was non-stop shooting him. Apparently, DDs need to be played sneaky, and should hardly ever use theie guns (and certainly not spam HE), and should almost solely rely on their torpedoes.. I was in an Akizuki........

Trappists and heavy beers all the way. Pils = pisswater.

You should at least be able to reliably hit her citadel... (unlike some other ships..)
