You trying to tell me Amagi has only 128,64mm penetration at 8km distance? Would you kindly show me where that point of 128,64mm penetration intersects with the Amagi 410mm AP shell penetration curve on this penetration table: Who needs to get his facts straight now, eh? At 8km distance, Amagi 410mm AP has a penetration of over 600mm. That would still be enough to beat 19mm of armour at an 88° angle with an effective armour thickness of 544,42mm and according to yourself with the normalization going in favour for DDs the absolute maximum angle a penetration would check for is 84° at which the effective armour thickness of 19mm is 181,77mm. And you will see in that chart that the Amagi isn't reaching such low penetration values within 20km distance. I guess it's time for you to start belittling yourself in the mirror if you don't want to be espoused for being a raging hypocrite, mate.

That's a disclaimer I'd put into your opening post.

There are actually plenty. It's just they are like the proverbial needle in the haystack, buried under a mountain of potatoes that play BBs because big ships with big guns doing big booms. Thus you barely meet them.

In all fairness, game crashes are mostly client stability issues and putting up a thread in the forum isn't going to help much. Hell I've been on the line with WG support about those crashes for over two months now, showering them with WGCheck reports, etc. and so far the best they've come up is "try reinstalling it". At this point I'm more inclined to believe that my PC is simply too high spec for the game (more specifically my 16GB of Ram messing with the 32 bit BigWorld client considering the 3GB RAM barrier), as the crash message I'm getting is memory access violations.

I haven't edited it because I will not reward your condescension. You'd find that I'm a lot more cooperative when you're not being an arse, even in points I might not personally agree with. You'll find that is true for almost everyone. Might try it sometime. And I'll keep posting about that until I see things being done about it. If I see a definitive ETA from WG about the arrival of changes, then I'll sit back and wait, but not before. Also, no, you're still wrong. And the reason you're bouncing on DDs and CLs is because you simply didn't overmatch, period. At 70° angling, a high tier DD's 19mm armour has an effective thickness of 56mm. I'd like you to show me a gun of a 271,7mm+ caliber that doesn't have enough penetration to beat 56mm.

I also get crashes trying to do random stuff in port (such as switching captains, buying or upgrading ships, etc.) and occasionally after battle the port is missing all UI elements. Missing a "no problems" option though.

So you're telling me you don't get at least one Kraken per day to stock up ESCL flags? You forgot to enable your TTT Hags or something? Git gud!

Dude, just ignore him. It's evident that he's riled himself up into a rage here and is simply using every opportunity to belittle and insult people that dare complain about bugs and imbalances that his precious BBs are profiting from. He can't even decide if things said by WG developers are just inconsequential PR marketing slogans meant to shut people up or actual changes in the work peer pressured by the DD mafia ... he's just grasping at every straw he can find, same as he decided to be a complete arse in this thread just because I said "BB AP vs DD" instead of "happens everywhere, it's just DDs whining the most about it" and ignoring/warping the actual point just so he can rage on.

Mkay, so that one shell doing twice the damage it should do is totally not a problem, WG is not currently working on a ballistics rework with high priority and is not looking at a rebalance of BB AP against lightarmoured targets. You heard it @Sub_Octavian, you should totally switch to the marketing department. Anyhow, since you seem to have nothing on your mind than spread your message of a massed DD agenda I think we're done here. Good day sir.

Just ignore him. He can vent his displeasure in his own rant thread about DDs smoking him up, no point in providing him motivation and outlet in here.

Sadly it's not. I wouldn't mind make it so however if WG wanted to drop me a set for an additional 750.000 free XP. Those would be several hours well spend.

Same advice I gave to Adwaenyth: you might do well to read the linked thread and Sub_Octavian's response in it in particular before you continue with that cascade of condescension. You'll know exactly why I'm referencing a BB AP vs DD fix and asking for when it's coming ...

*hug*

And you'd be wrong. If you wish to know why, feel free to look through the first thread and then ask yourself the question why I'd ask for an ETA. A little hint: the lynchpin to that answer is highlighted in red.

Bruh, gotta go bigger! And I totally didn't just lobby for more BBs ...

I don't think the kind of people who still think it is a good tactic to smoke up battleships (or other ships with large smoke firing detectabilities for that matter) are the ones who'd read the forum and thus your complaint here.

And once again, who got your knickers in a twist for you to be so antagonistic about it? My reaction to being on the receiving end of that volley was more chill than your comment. So tone down the level of condescension in your comments a couple notches mate.

Who got your knickers in a twist to be so antagonistic?

Have gotten some weird occasions of the game ending prematurely aswell when we weren't quite topping off the required points or the enemy hadn't lost every ship or dropped below 0 points, yet the game decided to call it quits. Don't have replays enabled though and won't because I'm currently trying to get Support fix my client stability issues and I won't give them any excuses about altered .ini files or whatnot just so they can tell me to reinstall the game once more from scratch.

Heh, it appears I have attracted a secret admirer who's busy tagging my posts as boring edit:// No, not you Pzycho.

Funny considering I use my anti-detonation flags on all my DDs now.

Where can I see those news?

The result is the same. As you said it yourself, some people will simply become frustrated being on the receiving end and consequently driven away from playing the class. And a single premium ship that happens to be a one-trick-pony isn't sledgehammer balance unless WG gives it out for free to saturate the MM population with and thus ensure non-insular effects. As for the rest I'm right up with you. Simply implement a hardcap of 3 BBs per team and see where it goes from there.

Well, if they need server data to help thinking, they can always just look at the cruisers, since they've been doing a good job frustrating cruiser players and driving them away for some time now.

I haven't actually seen a single decent player in those early access ships. In fact the only player who at least played the ship halfway competent was the douche that was bragging about having the Bretagne. Everyone else I've seen in those ships has been to the man max-range camping and shooting HE, no exception. I wish I could say I'm kidding, but sadly I can't.
