It is an Halloween special, it is only 16 players and "only 4 ships could exit portal" could suggest 4 teams with 4 players fighting each others.

Sure, 6 Petro for 1 DD and after killing it what then? Did you ever asked yourself that are bringing so many petropavlovsk is because it is really strong ship?

Yea, if RAIN just learned to angle a tiny bit they would probably won that game. I mean who cares about stats anyway, right?

You are probably right for Smolensk and Colbert but that still doesn't make statement that WG never directly nerfed T10 any less true. WG did make distinction between CLs with DD guns and CLs with 6inch guns, with clear exception of RN CLs. Both Smolensk and Colbert, which might or might not needed this nerf, got, almost, the same armour sheme just like for example Wooster and, later, Nevsky also got consistent amour scheme with 25mm bow, stern and upper belt, and 30mm deck. So you can considered it as you like but technicaly it is a general change and not a nerf to those specific ships. It would be same if WG, because of SG, nerf all T10 SC on the same way. If you are already listing ships removed from store as they are considered OP, than don't forget to list Soviet ones.

All T10 premiums are, yet WG never directly nerfed any of them, all "nerfs" camo from general changes. So yes, there is always a chance to nerf SG directly, but practically it is very small chance.

WG would not direct nerf SG, but there is slight chance, even tho probably many would not like it, to nerf if indirectly via changes to captain skills as removal of FP and BoS could impact SG quite heavily. Petro on the other hand already received first nerf with change of concealment. It probably won't be enough but it is a start at least. I agree that it is too strong in current form.

What are you talking about? Are you arguing here that Soviet ships are weak? Well let's look at the stats for last two months on EU. Seems like Slava still outperform brokenly OP Thunderer. Even the Kremlin, the best T10 regular BB, has better WR then Thunder, altho with lower average damage. And guess which are two best cruisers on EU? SG and Petro! What a surprise! Nothing even get close to them, SG with 56% WR and Petro with 54%. Third on in the list has 2.5% worse WR, by far the greatest difference between two consensual ships among all T10 cruisers. But probably the current KoTS showed that Soviet ships are far from being competitive ships, right? So please don't pretend that there is no issue with Soviet ships as well. IMO Thunderer is probably too strong and it should be toned down, in first way its HE could be nerfed. But there is also a lot of BS Soviet T10 ships as well. Why not using your CAPS on them too s stats are clearly showing that some of them are, if not even better then Thunder, not far from it by performance.

If it is under hammer and sickle flag then why not.

Because why not?

If you are going for FXP ship than choose either Smaland or Agir. If you are still not sure which to take, compare Ohio, Slava, Colbert, Siegfried, Agir and Smaland, what class do you prefer, what tier and for which purpose (competitive gaming of just for fun in randoms) and which of them would suit your playstyle the best. There is plenty of videos of gameplay of all of them, majority of streamers are playing them quite often. All of them are good choice but it depends on you which one would be the best suit you.

Its speed is not bad. Actually only Burger, Repu and GK are faster, Kremlin, Slava and Conq match it while Yamato/Shikishima and Montana/Ohio are slower. So overall its speed is quite okay for T10 BB.

If datamaned info is correct it will be for RP It is unknown when they will arrive. WG said that they won't get back for at least 6 month after they were removed from armoury. So they can be back soon, as it is almost 6 months since they were removed but it could take much longer till they arrive. gm3d actually showing updated model so I doubt it would be shelved. I personally expect for Kitakami to become a New Year ship as new PR. Wouldn't be surprised at all if that happen. WG didn't announce resource for a single new ship including Hizen, Plymouth and Z-44

It is, one-time use, Type 5 camo, the one for 22k credits or something like that, with alternative colors. Type 1 and Type 2 use same colors but different design. There is also a Steel Camo but that one is not for money (or not directly for money) but for 10k of steel

Nah, with cyclone Slava would not be as effective as usual. It don't have armour to tank, it has one less heal than all other BBs, its overmatching capabilities is not great and at mid range, at which it should be forced to operate, it is far worse than Kremlin.

Nope, and I don't think they need to. Just because they have similar concept it doesn't mean that they should have same dispersion formula, just like all BBs don't have one. Slava was the first concept of long range sniper tho and my guess is that they decided to implement similar concept, in terms of armour, after Champagne was created/released. So they just kept guns and all related to them but changed ship armour scheme.

Yup, as @togMOR said it is practice loader machine

Americans know how to make a good ship but Soviets know how to improve it and make it perfect. Money could never beat Gulag as motivating factor.

I'm not against buffing Blyska, but I am against giving her a heal. And it doesn't have to synergize with with silver EU DDs in everything. Aigle have smoke while all others have reload buster, Gallant has standard smoke and no hydro unlike silver RN DDs ... there is plenty of examples for this. I would rather if WG make her more unique among Pan European DDs and if that is not possible then maybe option to choose between Skane torps with less damage but more range and current torps which could be a bit faster or just flat buff to concealment and maneuverability. You can poke WG but you will get the same answers as for Aigle back when French DDs are added. I'm afraid that the best buff you can expect here is just tweaking some stats as they are very reluctant to buff Blyska in first place and adding a heal would be a huuuuuuuge buff for her.

Finally fixing something that should not be in the game in the first place, stealth radar for Petro (new concealment 12.1km). Riga will still be able to stealth radar but now by smaller margin with 11.8km full stealth build. Nice one.

With cyclone, Slava would be by far the worst choice from all BBs. Kremlin and Ohio, maybe even GK are way to go in the next season.

Hahahahahaha .... good joke there, WG should consider switch to comedy business.

Wow ... I just ... wow. But it is still true. Which smaller ships? HMS Sheffield did not take part in the battle, just like not a single destroyer. Destroyers did attacked Bismarck during the night but not during the final battle. 4 ships did all damage, 2 BBs and 2 heavy cruisers but there is no small ships unless you counting heavy cruisers as a small ships. Destroyers only tried to pick up survivors but didn't shoot at Bismarck at all. Of course no damage is done by small ships as none of them shot at Bismarck during the final battle.

While they could hardly incapacitate BB with just guns, DDs could still deal significant damage to BB with guns just by shooting superstructure. Like USS Laffey did to Hiei during the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. But then again DDs were never intended to fight BBs with guns but with torps. Also saying that most Ships could not even Damage Battleships is true only because most of combat ships were really small when compared to BBs like minelayers, corvetes, frigates, sloops or destroyers. But saying that ship like cruisers could not deal damage to BB is ridicules, unless under damaging BBs you mean sinking it. There is plenty of examples where smalers ships did damaged BBs but maybe that is the kind of damage you don't care about. In that battle it fought against 2 Battleships, HMS Rodney and HMS KGV, which is not several as several means more then two. Also the smaller ships you are mentioning are HMS Norfolk and HMS Dorsetshire, which fired some 2,800 shells, scoring around 400 hits. With 203mm guns I doubt that their damage could be considered insignificant, maybe not critical but neither harmless. 203mm guns could deal significant damage to BBs, as proved in several battles during ww2.

If they are adding a new class just for hybrids than ok, I was confused as you marked it as BBV suggesting that it will be a BBs with planes and Tone, as cruiser, would not fit there. But if all of them will be in separate class than that could fix the problem of MM. Which is understandable as SCs are much more durable then standard cruisers and all of them are premiums. Who knows, maybe one of WG intentions with Captain Skills rework is to nerf SCs by preventing them to use BB skills? I mean If I go into all the problems of MM, than why only split them based on gun caliber. Why not on radar and non radar cruisers as in my experience I had more issues when one side had significantly more radar cruisers than other side, than it was case of one side having SCs while the other having CLs. To say my opinion? And I already said it in the my first post. Well if they are putting it, and all similar ships, in the separate class then it won't be matched by other BBs but by other hybrid. So no problem there Still could follow the same pattern. And Mate I know that. But they didn't add these two, hell it is not even sure in which state they will be added to the game. And if they are putting them in separate hybrid class than that is covered to. So no need for game overhaul because of that.

Then just find something that could be added to the game easily. See, that would be nice ship to add.
