I'm pretty sure (might be mistaken, feel free to correct me) that by the time he "charged" out of the smoke, their turrets were simply too slow to have a shot at him at somewhat good angle (not getting their shells bounced), and to add to that, your 2nd turret on Yamato is unable to shoot at certain angles. But I'm too lazy to analyze that whole situation 5 more times

Well, to be honest, not too much they could have done there. If they faced any other ship, she would be blown up to pieces in 2 seconds, but not glorious German brawlers with their turtleback armor ofc. That Iowa on the other hand... I'm still not sure how the heck did he even manage to get to t9... edit: well, now I know... 100 games in Tirpitz with 20k avg damage, and free XPed 90% of USN BB line... Total of 300 games, out of which 150 are in premium ships... Nothing wrong with WG selling everyone and their mother tickets to high tier games...

You don't need to have premium to earn creds on high tiers. Thats a bull. I'm an almost exclusevly non prem player with some 500 games in t10, and God knows how much on t8+. I mostly play low tiers just to grind ships to get to high tier ships. And yet, I'm sitting on 2 t10 ships, 1 t9 ship, 5-6 t8 ones (too lazy to count), and who knows how much lower tier ones, and on top of that, I still have 30 mil creds sitting on account. Even if I don't have such a good game on t10, I'm loosing like 40k creds, while earning 50-100k on a good game. So my t10 ships were ALWAYS able to earn enough credits to keep themselves running, and rest of my ships are there to earn themselves creds to proceed trough different lines...

Last game had 2 CVs (low tier game), and I was in a DD. Ofc didn't manage to torp either one, since the one I was chasing got killed by a BB while my torps were in the water. Damn this will be annoying

I'll ignore the rest, because of obvious reasons, but I'd advise you to read up about smoke screens used during that period. Or do yourself a favor and watch this But I'm not that sure it was a sunny day, so that might be the reason why they got invisible.

Oh you poor innocent little fellow As someone said above, now on Hotspot there are forts that start shooting you literary at spawn. Cause WG logic mate

I have managed to kill Yamato in a straight 1v1 fight in a Bismarck. Yamato UP, buff pls

meh, who needs 30 free Papa Papa flags...

Merry Christmas mate

Imagine my face when I entered the game, the map was loading, saw its North, and then saw its Bastion!!! WHY GOD; WHY! Like its not enough that North is usually campfest that doesn't allow you to push on the other side of the fence (aka islands), but now you have forts in the middle too. Freaking epic.

yup, WG allready stated that they don't want crews because of increased PG ratings.

And what people don't, or don't want to understand is that if you have 2 high tier (8-10) German battleships on 1 flank and 2 non German battleships on other team, 2 German BBs won. This is ofc considering that players aren't braindead, but they will simply push their flank, secure the cap, and all that you can do is run away. And I'm not talking about 2v2 situation, I'm talking about flank vs flank, aka half of team vs half of team. Your non German BBs cannot stay there to tank, and allow themselves to come into brawling range with enemy German BBs. Your cruisers cannot stay there to protect the cap / flank, because they will get wrecked too fast without BBs tanking for them. Your DDs cannot stay there and stop the push (thats what DDs should be doing) with their torps, because 2 of them have hydro that will cover all the torps, and if you are detected within range of their secondaries, you will have a REALLY bad time. Been in that situation quite often, and simply, by the time you somehow manage to stop those guys, game is more often then not lost allready. When your Battleships are forced to stay 15km away from cap, and enemy is allowed to push as a team, with BBs leading the charge, not caring about a single thing in the world (aka torps, or showing too much broadside and getting blown out of the water in a second), you lost the game. End of story. And thats simply why Bismarck is OP. Because she has ability to literary sail into cap, not caring about anything, and pushing enemy team out of the fight, or wrecking everyone too dumb to stay there and try to contest that cap.

Allready answered that those were solo stats, and you can easily check it out. And allready stated in another topic that my first lets say 20 games were captain retraining and my fooling around with ship, checking out whats she capable for (aka more often then not, yoloing into half of their team, playing too agressive etc just to see how well will she perform). The only reason why my first ~20 games and next ~30 games tell completely different story when comparing stats. But even today, I'm playing it probably too agressive, and yet, I have better survivability then I have in lets say Yamato. And Yamato should be a lot tankier then weak Bismarck with weak armor that takes huge damage no matter the angle, and has weak torpedo belt so should take huge damage from torpedoes... And yea, burns a lot, and has weak AA, so cruisers and CVs kill her easily too. Or whatever... People can continue to ignore that she overperforms, and currently is too strong, but whatever, tried to explain some things like 10 times allready on this forums, learned that there is no point, since people will ignore all facts, so yea, continue to belive whatever you want.

There is a slight difference in different point of view, and just being completely wrong... But only slight.So, don't worry, I won't even try, since I see I'm better off talking to a wall ;)

There are flags on enemy ships?

I'd advise you to re-re-check your facts. Thats not how stats work. Not even close...

you are substracting damage from average damage, ignoring all the stats in which Bismarck is obviously top t8 ship, ignoring everything that doesn't fit into your vision of things, and I'm misguiding the truth

I'd advise you to re-check your facts

solo ofc edit: Venom, do you understand you sound pretty... lets call it "funny" with your statements?

Why do you even bother... There is litterary 50 pages about Bismarck on this forums allready, and the conclusion: Bismarck is UP, buff please. No armor, guns are weak, AA is bad, secondaries look nice but don't deal damage, has only 8 guns, dispersion is bad and what not... These are my stats in Bis in last 7 days. So yea, buff please, this thing is too weak. and lol, yea, lets subtract secondaries damage because damage isn't damage and as such damage should not be calculated into damage hahahaha

Good thing its a German video, so I understood "WoWS, Graf Spee, Ingame" and few other words

I stopped picking TYL most of the time... Pick them now and then, but not getting SC, thats how rare they are nowadays.

You wot mate?

eh, got reported 6 or 7 times in a game where I had 6 kills with hatsu or fubuki, can't remember. I guess enemy team wasn't that impressed. But never got chatbanned so far...

Best thing is, everyone is talking about how Bismarck is taking HUGE damage even when angled, when its actually (in90% of cases) 4k damage from 1 enemy BB shell that stranded into your superstructure or deck. Everything else (side armor, bow, guns) just bounces things away. So yea, you will see 4k damage here and there, you will press heal, and you are back to full hp, big deal...
