Yeah, screw CAs more. Same concealment as CLs as it is right now or nothing. That aside I agree that something's wrong with concealment but I can't point out if CE is bad and not working as intended or just that the base consealment stats or some *cough* RN *cough* BBs are just plain bad from the start. The base concealment even without the skill is too low to begin with, which leads to these ridiculous concealment levels when you slap CE on top of that. IMO just giving them a proper BB base concealment would solve the problem. Conqueror in particular should be the first in the line of BB concealment nerfs.

You weren't overconfident enough and thus you don't deserve the achievement.

This. I remember I started when the game was in open beta back in 2015 and I started playing cruisers. It's even funny how back then I didn't know s*it about ships in general, I didn't know whan an Iowa was, what a Bismarck was or what a Yamato was for example, I learned that playing this game, so back then I looked at the USA and IJN tech trees and saw Mogami with her 15 guns and that was my goal. I really enjoyed cruisers, they were a lot of fun back then and even now I miss that kind of play but it's true that BBs have a lot more resistance to cruisers than back then and since I stopped at Mogami at tier 8 which nowadays is also an awful tier for cruisers that ended my "cruiser carreer" sadly... That also makes me remember how the OP post talks about reasons that move players to BBs more than to any other class and here I'd have to admit that I'm also a kind of player that honestly doesn't like to get sunk at all. Back in the day I got sunk quite often in cruisers but since they still had a chance to retaliate against BBs they were fun enough, but now... as the OP post says I moved to BBs since I wasn't that good of a player, so I started to feel useless and as I said I hate to being sunk without contributing. Now I manage a 56'something% win rate ratio and I thing I improved as a player, learned the basics about angling but I don't think that even with that I'm that great of a player really, but it's ridiculous when sometimes I check my stats and see that ridiculous 51% average survival rate I have. I also agree even if I hate being sunk that's not good... I push and try to help whenever I'm alble which may contribute with me getting 56% winrate always playing solo, but a class that allows you to retreat in time from a bad position and allows you to survive more than half your battles if you learn proper angling... that's not any kind of good balance.

My GC never ever would do that. I swear.

I don't agree in removing friendly fire, as other said already it prevents bad play, however I'm in favor or removing the chance of setting a friendly ship on fire, true that everyone should act with care around a friendly ship very close to you but some situations are out of control anyways and when you set a friendly on fire it's annoying and not something you want or do on purpose.

Bad. How else should I feel? It's retarded that I can blow up stuff without any control of it. I want to feel rewarded sinking someone because I outplayed someone, said someone made a mistake and I punished it, or simply put, the ship I was in was stronger or meant to counter the enemy ship. But sinking one "because f*** you that's way" it's the most stupid thing ever.

Thank you. Really. Your wisdom will save all of us in the many battles to come.

We need battlecruisers to be differenced as their own class.

This, sadly...

I have to admit I've seen worse, but reading this almost hurt and even if English is not my native language and I still make mistakes too, but come on... Leaving that aside, I kind of agree with you OP, except in the forward turrets being retarded, I don't know how THAT in particular can be wrong, means you don't need to show your weak side of the ship except a bit for the third turret which you should use when you can.

Luckily I didn't have this many times, but sometimes you get really crap spawns considering the map and the ship you're in. That was always my reason to do something like that. Other that that I agree, you stay in the flank you spawn in.

Yes.

Seems like the vodka supplies are out of control again and now they have difficulties discerning a BB from a CA. Don't worry guys, nothing new. Usual balans.

Agreed. I'd be fine even if they say they've changed the ship so it's not that OP. But yes, it would be nice if they say say something about it instead of pretending nothing ever happened and hope we forget about it or something.

For me it's hilarious that we still know nothing about T-61 that was meant to be released before the end of last year and they're already anouncing the next premium German DD.

Considering the DD playground that was most of the time I admit it wasn't the greatest idea sometimes but I loved going in there with BBs and make torpedobeats so loud the the enemy team could hear them... from the other side of the map. Sometimes I failed of course But that map was great. I really hate they changed it. Now we just have boring open maps...

Look at that. Best map of the game before they ruined it. Remember when the map allowed you to make an ambush back then? Good times. Something like Kitakami was usable there. Also, epicenter mode before it was cool, smaller cap and no one complaining in chat about how crap it is. I miss everything. Everytime.

Because everyone and their mother will focus you on sight so by the time you feint a torp drop and with that impressive Kuma armor you'll be at the bottom of the ocean anyways?

If I remember correctly, 10 km, and you needed a full stealth build for barely having lower concealment than torps range, so even why that you couldn't really stealth torp since it was just some 100/200 meters difference or something like that. Don't quote me on that though since I could be wrong but I don't remember Kitakami as a steath torper at all and 10 km range for a Kuma class at T8 is bringing the ship into suicide range for every torp run, that's why I think the last thing Kitakami need on top of that it's only "partially functioning" torps.

I'd really love a chance to play Kitakami. But not with something useless as DW torps, so no. Kitamaki had enough already being a Kuma class at T8. Sure, that ship sunk more allies than enemy and that's why it was removed, but 3 guns with 7'5 seconds reload can't deal reliably at all with any DD at T8, and that's assuming WG would do something like releasing DW torps that only DDs are safe from instead of the BS they're trying to pull on Arashio before trying it on Shima. Even if everyone, me included wants to try a Kitakami some day I prefer Kitakami being gone as now than being brought back with that crap excuse of torpedos even if it's 40 of them.

Maybe. That's the least they must do if they want that ship to be anything at all. But that's not what they're saying for now. Still ST so anything can still change, but with WG you'll never now. Maybe they're serious.

Not a DD player so I have no idea, but... how can one exactly love a DD with torps that aren't able not only to not hit other DDs, but CRUISERS also? PA DDs look like a joke to me already not being able to hit other DDs. They might have other strenghts and capability dealing with that with good guns and radar, but a joke anyways. And now torps that can hit DDs and cruisers? Are you serious? Who did even came with the idea? Who can be so retarded? What's the point of that? Paying a trade for more stealthy and effective torps against big target? PA torps already do that not being able to hit other DDs and IMO doesn't even look like a fair trade to be honest. Adding cruisers to that it's a f*****g insult. Lame. Retarded. But well, WG decisions. I thought that when those torps where announced for Shimakaze and they took a step back on that due to complaints that would have told them that no one likes those torps, but I guess that was expecting too much. We'll never have enough of WG's stupidity it seems.

It's the crazy chicken guy!

This. There's little hope of that changing apparently. So little that watching competitive tournaments or things like clan wars become boring (at least for me) the moment certain clans come in. They could start handing the Stalingrad right away.

That's WG telling you you should use an Imperator next time because you really weren't a dirty sealclubber.
