My only complains with Pensacola is the Surface detection who is absolutely awful ... You can be aggressive with the Pensa ( thanks to her beautiful maneuverability ), but you can't ambush. AP on Pensa are really potent even against BB, 8k-12k salvo on BB full broadside is quite frequent if you know how to aim.

Ayant connu "l'age d'or" du Mogami 155mm / 18km pendant 2 semaines, je l'ai vraiment trouvé trop puissant par rapport au reste des T8 voir T9 ... Ce nerf ayant frappé très durement, j'ai complètement changé de style de gameplay et je ne joue mon Mogami que en "Escorte" avec 155mm / 203mm selon le choix de bateau de mon partenaire de jeu. Je me colle a une cible alléchante (BB 90% du temps) et j'harasse, tout ce qui arrive en dessous de 14km. ( Je me garde 1km de battement pour infliger assez d'incendie ou AP sur un flanc mal négocié par ma cible). Le fait de jouer "semi furtif" ( pas de concealment sur mon commandant) est vraiment interessant mais demande une gestion de "l'aggro", anticipation et placement qui est très exigeante et ultra punitive si mal jaugée ... Pour moi le Mogami est un peu Sorcier d'un groupe en RPG qui met ses DOTs et disparait jusqu'a la prochaine piqure de rappel. Le nerf de AFT est justifié mais trop dur pour le Mogami ... Un petit buff de portée a 15.7/ 15.8 serait amplement suffisant a mons sens pour le rendre moins frustrant.

High tier Captain with AFT is a significant advantage for below T5 cruisers. AFT is only usefull for 1 ship on High tier = Mogami. Only this ship. Every other ships have 203mm guns and shoot at almost 16km (more for german but we all know why ... CITADEL SHIP) For me AFT nerf is obvious and i am fine with that. USS Shell trajectory, speed ( HE or AP) are absolutly horrible (Pensacola seems to be ok from my experience). If you are more than 13-14 km from your target it's like predict the alignment of planet in 1500years ... IJN Shell are fast and flat. Even at "long range" you can hit everything without being a Medium. At close range, Cleveland destroy every CL/CA. At middle / long range Aoba is a pain is the a*** for everything else. IJN and USS cruiser have 2 differents style of gameplay. Kutuzov buff is an insult for "free" ships on T8 ...

No cruiser should be alowed to fire at 18km range ! It's BB job ! From my perspective, Cleveland "nerf" is obvious ! A T6 Cruiser shooting that fast at almost 18km is too powerfull for this rank( T6 ! ). Old Mogami with 155mm / 18km (AFT) was the only viable option with this ship ... because ... 203mm guns are not much viable due to a base range of 15.1km on T8 ... not even the range of a Murmansk ( T5 ! ) That nerf from AFT is necessary for every 155mm Cruiser but Mogami should have received a slight buff to base range ... let's says ... 16km ?! Just enought to compete against other Cruiser from T8 (at least). Good players will always perform with every ship but i think the Mogami is hit a bit too hard ...
