so you often sail behind the enemy team to launch torpedoes towards your own team? I could ask what you're doing all the time..

Zuiho (1/2/1): 21 Kongo: 24 Minekaze: 22 - 3 = 19 I don't know which other ship to take points away from. I won't take points from ships I don't have (i.e. Fujin/Kami, Grimmy & Murmansk). Fujin/Kamikaze: 24 Gremy: 28 Murmansk: 8 König: 24 + 1 = 25 Konig is love, Konig is life. Königsberg: 23

T2 -> Weymouth absolute beast for its tier

- Stage 4 is really doable. 125k damage isn't that much as you make it seem and neither is destroying 4 ships. And if you get the required damage and kills in a single battle, you're probably in the top 4 by experience anyway. - Stage 5 is even more doable. Imo it's easier to get 7 citadel hits in a single battle with a CA/CL than with a BB (of course if there's only one or two CA/CLs on the enemy team it will be hard to achieve). You can't expect WG to make the missions too easy.. If I'm not mistaken the missions are cruisers-only.

Firing torpedoes towards friendlies and insulting them when they hit. Logic at it's finest. basically this if you get into the A-C-----------B situation as described by Xevious_Red; I assume you made a grave error and you shouldn't punish or insult your teammates about it

An AA spec'd Colorado will just shred every plane around (even T8 and T9 CVs will lose a lot of planes attacking you). You do need quite a bit of map awareness to get into the right positions, because it's one of the slower BBs. But once in medium to short range combat, it's an utter beast; good armour for its tier (all-or-nothing) and accurate, hard-hitting guns. I liked sailing the Colorado and had one of my top damage games ever with it. It's a shame I had to sell it because I needed the captain for my North Carolina :edit: upgrades & captain skills I used on the Colorado: ship upgrades Aux. Arm. Mod 1 (I didn't lose the main turrets that much so I switched to this one) AA Guns Mod 2 (but if you think you need the extra range, take the Artillery Plotting Room Mod 1) -> you could use a Spotter Plane for when you need the range, but the Fighter Plane is more viable to spot torpedoes or DDs lurking behind islands DCS Mod 1 (even higher torpedo reduction, rest were quite useless imo) DCS Mod 2 (if you find yourself on fire a lot) or Steering Gears Mod 2 (to take full advantage of the Colorado's 'tight' turning circle) -> I still don't know which one I'd prefer on the Colorado.. I used both and liked both. The former is useful when dealing with HE spam and the latter is useful when dealing with CVs or DDs) captain skills (11-point captain) BFT & BOS (increase AA damage output & survivability) -> I chose BOS first and took BFT once I got the 11th point EM (no-brainer on any BB) Vigilance (combine this with Steering Gears Mod 2 and you'll be able to dodge most torpedo attacks) AFT (increase AA & secondary range, pew-pew-pew!)

Yes it seems like OP was talking sh*t. imo the requirements are not that 'out of the moon' getting 7 citadel hits in a single battle might even be easier to achieve with a CA/CL than with a BB :edit: after looking through some of my post-battle screenshots, the stage 4 and 5 is very doable any T6 cruiser is usable to complete the mission (especially the Cleveland.. get close and make it rain citadel hits)

I'm confused.. Is there a cap on BBs or not? Or is OP just inventing stuff?

My assumptions might be biased by the 'usual' BB-playstyle I see in randoms. It could indeed be entertaining to have these massive brawls; although I don't think a lot of BBs will want to brawl with a Gneisenau, Scharnhorst or Tirpitz. btw, thank you for adding the word "samey" to my English vocabulary

you can even get citadel hits with DD HE

iirc I read somewhere (can't remember where or if it was 100% reliable) that almost all Premium ships were included; less the ARP ships and some event / reward / promo ships (e.g. Flint, Kitakami, Tone, Black).

Fine with me. You can torp me too if you want to. You might get a triple Kraken

this is actually very nice

.. a division can have 3 members so I don't see the problem. (in fact it might just increase our chance of victory)

I didn't even know there was a cap on BBs.. if anything it should stay as it is or be lowered even further. And please, if 12v12 BB-battles are introduced, let me choose to opt out of those. Just like I want to opt out of that horrible Bastion gamemode. All the BBabies will just stay at their spawn and shoot ships at max distance, only to come whining on the forums to buff BB dispersion because they can't hit anything at max range. Every 12v12 BB-battle will be decided by points after 20 minutes. None will cap (because "it's not the job of a BB") and none will decently damage the enemy BBs (because "I have long range so I must shoot at max range"). In the end we'll just have an HE-slugfest between BBs at 17-20 km distance.

Usually I don't rage in chat as this accomplished nearly nothing; but last night I lost my calm and CAPS-raped the chat. I'm not proud about it (on the contrary) but at that moment I was so frigging mad that I couldn't control myself

getting 3 detonations in one evening (~13 battles), with DD, CL and BB

when are usually you playing? we could div up

I agree. Kirov is a beast when played correctly; imo it's a mini-Pensacola with torpedoes

sorry

that Scharnhorst deal though

met T0byJug in his König Albert we won quite easily

were you sailing the Bayern? that ship is an overpen-monster! Leander at 5 km? np, 4 overpens Aoba at 8 km? np, 5 overpens Scharnhorst at 8 km? np, 4 overpens and so on

Lost my calm when a Caledon let an enemy DD sink my CV before shooting him. I raged quite a bit in chat The Caledon was only 1 km away from me and the enemy DD appeared behind an island at ~4 km. The enemy DD was able to launch his torpedoes twice; during those few minutes the Caledon never shot the DD (while it only had ~2k HP). It seemed like the Caledon was intentionally not shooting the enemy DD so it could kill me; besides dodging the torpedoes of the enemy DD, I also had to dodge the torpedoes from the Caledon. Thinking of it now, I should have let the friendly torpedoes kill me so the Caledon got punished..
