Gorizia >>> Tashkent'39 / Hood I love the Gorizia, it's my 2nd most played ship. Don't have the '39 myself but a friend of me got and played it last evening, and he seemed to have fun with it. The concealment is atrocious though. Hood is mediocre imo. More of a "history ship" than a ship I actually play.

I've seen the Clemson get a double kill once ... not much surprises me anymore in Ops.

They don't have to be novice to overextend. You can always see it as an opportunity to get closer yourself and hit more shots. Too often BBs - including brawler types - just hide in the harbour, while they could easily be just at the edge of the harbour (green circle). Most of the times I'm closer to the bots with my CV than the BBs on my team.

You know what to do then ... run for the corners so the battle lasts longer

Enough to know that 1* Newport Defense is usually caused by players camping too far away (usually in the back of the harbour), allowing the bots to enter the harbour early. So don't camp in the back of Newport Defense and you'll get more stars. Giving critique on a battle you haven't seen, two can play that game.

So best tactic to get most bxp out of Brawls is to run to the corner of the map - got it

Never underestimate stupidity.

Don't camp in the back and you may get more than 1*

I don't know if bxp is dependent on the total team's hp or not. And good luck trying to get over 700 bxp in a two and a half minute Coop game; most Coop games last longer than that and net you less bxp ... I understand that 700 bxp seems low, but taking into account the battle duration it really isn't imo. 700 bxp per 2.5 minutes is a (very) good rate imo.

That voice line was already there in old T6 Aegis - and then the BBs could only be spotted early by the CV or a DD rushing North. (in my experience) There are some strange voice lines left over from the old Ops; e.g. the "aircraft carrier" Des Moines in Newport Defense.

~700 bxp for ~2.5 minutes of battle time; relatively that's ok, no ? Or would you say that getting 2.8k bxp in a 10-minutes Random Battle is "pitiful base xp" ?

Would you say the Matchmaker is rigged against you to make you lose a lot of games ?

That's why, as a BB, you park yourself just next to the smoke; you can keep the first wave spotted and you attract torpedoes next to the smokescreen. Also, nothing stops one of the CA/CLs in the smokescreen to use their HAS - sadly too often I find players having to be reminded to pop their Hydro, or popping their Hydro too late (after they've been hit by the torpedoes). Some Ops require more teamplay that others - Aegis is one of them - sadly not many players realize this and just play like they're playing Coop alone.

The more time passes, the more this option is tempting me

Already almost completed my (Nakhimov) reset again - guess I'll have to reset it again this weekend - almost at a 10x multiplier. Illinois here I come !

You cheat you use your brains

Mr - not so much - Damager is diligently looking for a good player claiming MM is rigged; since of course having purple or red stats is due to rigged MM and not due to player skill. And while OP is not a bad player, he also isn't truthful - as has been shown by others in this thread. Selective memory is a thing. ----------------- Also, I still have questions regarding OP : This is a double negative, right ? So OP is actually winning a decent amount of his games (as his stats show). If the enemy team has "trash divisions", the battle shouldn't be that hard ? Divisions are a force multiplier - a division of trash players is worse than each of these players on their own. If OP feels he's alone, what's stopping him from searching / joining a clan ?

Alternative tech tree line, like there are multiple already. No announcement for a EU CA/CL tech tree so far - otoh Spanish CA/CLs have been announced so you can look forward to those. Not sure if you're joking or not PA CLs have been around for some time now ... A line of Haida / Vampire II ? Gib plez

Neither GZ nor EL have the armour to tank (and you'll have to tank a bit if you want enemies to be in you secondary battery range) ... if you want a CV to tank you should take an Indomitable or Implacable imo. Then again, your role as a CV is not to tank damage, but to spot and deal damage (and provide AA support in Hermes / Cherry Blossom). And while GZ and EL can definitely deal damage, (most) other CVs are simply better; Kaga, Shokaku, Lexington, Enterprise, Pobeda, Chkalov ... I'd even add Saipan to this list. Also, secondary specced Pobeda has longer range (10 km) than the GZ (9.5 km).

That's just a side issue enemies will tremble in fear in front of my big BB guns !

Nah, I'm already used to you dying (too) early.

OP is not wrong though ... he isn't winning almost nothing

If I gets better ships then I also gets better results, yes ?
