Shouldn't you have to at least KILL someone to get a 'team killer' penalty? I was shooting at an enemy ship when an ally passed in front of them. RNG/dispersion caused 1 of my shells to hit my ally and I was hit with a team killer penalty. If they can stop giving penalties for secondaries, they should not give penalties for RNG/dispersion causing hits on allies, as we have no more control over that then shells fired by secondaries. To top it all off, not only did my ally not die, but he was the #1 player on my side at the end of the battle. Getting team killer pissed me off so much I got killed right after. Sorry posted on wrong forum should be on NA.

Actually, that's not the case. Parts of the superstructure are still around. I remember seeing them in the background in a scene from a movie from the late 70's to late 80's. I had built a model of the Arizona and recognized it. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB119672450795312374 http://ussarizonafacts.org/remnant1.htm Not the movie I saw.

One small problem with being faster than anything that's stronger than you. You have to have the ability to keep running until you are safely away. Sooner or later she will hit the edge of the map. In some of the smaller maps she could be hit almost anywhere on it by the right opponent. Just put many of the Japanese BB's near the center, launch their spotter and Bye Bye Spee.

Finally!

The RN cruiser line answers the question, 'Why do German cruisers have such weak armour?'.

Not all German premium ships were discounted.

Perhaps, they will add Albert tomorrow, since the German weekend starts then. Yeah, right.

Does anyone (who's allowed to speak of it) know if they have access to Aiming system mod 0? It looks like they could use all the help they can get. If it can make Yubari viable maybe it can help the British

BC's usually have the same level of deck armour as their contemporary BB's. The plunging fire problem only comes into play when a newer BB is up against an older and not upgraded BC. For instance Kongo's were still BC's (despite their change of designation) and has almost the same maximum deck armour (and better on some places) as Warspite (at least according to the armour models in the game). The problem of plunging fire really only came up towards the end of WW1 when the Japanese and the Americans started using higher elevations for their main batteries.

I don't expect a French BB line until, WG can do the quad turrets as 2 separate turrets. They are doing ok by giving Dunkerque's turrets extra hp, but still if you ko the turret you ko all 4 guns. They say they can't do any better at this time because of the limitations of the program. So, I don't expect a French BB line until they can fix this. That won't stop them from doing cruisers, and DD's though, and I look forward to them. BTW I enjoy playing Dunkerque, I just wish they had chosen Strausbourg for the premium, because of her heavier armour (they could always give the tech tree ship an upgrade in the b or c hull). They could also rename Dunkerque as Strausbourg, and give her the armour buff. Just change the armour model, and a few cosmetic details. No one ever complains that their ship got better.

Hey guys! I've checked with our producers and the König Albert will be sold this year in the EU region. In their FB post our German colleagues only meant that until the ship arrives in the premium shop people can still win the ship in contests and tournaments and the ship will be credited on their accounts as soon as the ship enters the shop. Our contributors get access to preview ships before they enter the shop, that's why the EU contributors haven't got a chance yet to try out the ship. I know that this is not ideal in this case, but this is something we have to discuss internally with our contributors. Of course their statement begs the question, Konig Albert has been for sale on NA server for 4 weeks now, and EU still hasn't given it to their contributors yet? What exactly are they waiting for? Shouldn't the contributors have had a look at it, even if they didn't plan to sell it?

Albert to be sold on EU 'this year'. Just don't hold your breath. https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2016/10/05/wows-konig-albert-to-be-sold-on-eu/

I don't see how they can claim Albert is OP. It has been in premium shop AND tech-tree for over one patch. If it was OP, NA would have simply removed it, and made an announcement. I have one in my NA account, and the only thing OP about it is it's protection, but it still burns and gets torped. Crap like this (claiming it was op) is why I made sure I bought mine asap. It would seem that some players need to move to the NA server, or at least get an account there.

Good for end on fire.

You want torpedo tubes? Here's your torpedo tubes. http://s73.photobucket.com/user/Rengokuy/media/Russian_Torpedo_Cruiser_191.jpg.html

Found a tier 3 candidate. Just use 12" instead of 14" guns. http://tzoli.deviantart.com/art/Russian-Coastal-Battleship-Coloured-473394823

It doesn't seem to make sense. Albert was released on NA with patch 0.5.11, and she's still there. If there was a problem they would have removed her with the present patch (0.5.12) If not sooner. So, obviously the problem is in the EU and ASIAN (they don't have her yet either) marketing departments, not with the ship herself.

Nickoli was designed after they realized how squishey their previous ships were. And even she's squishey compared to the German BB's.

It hardly looks good if you describe your ships as glass cannon's. The guns are good, and they are fast enough, I just could never understand why, (since Russia was never restricted by the naval treaties) they built such poorly armored ships. Even the Imperial dreadnoughts were squishey. Though to be fair many early dreadnoughts had that problem.

In any case it could be a premium for both.

This ship will surely be in the Russian BB line, since WG doesn't mind reskinning ships for some quick cash. Or including fantasy upgrades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_battleship_Imperator_Aleksandr_III Russian, German, White Russian, and potentially French or anyone else who was willing to pay it's docking fees.

Apparently they are not ready yet. They are NOT EVEN MENTIONED. http://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/update-notes-0512/

I might point out that when they realign the Japanese DD's, Mutsuki will not only be down tiered (from 6 to 5), but will be have some of it's stats changed. So it's either a little late or a little early to complain about something that may well be different in a month.

True, was just my opinion. I also think Dunkerque would have made a better tier 5. It's very close to Kongo in stats (has better armour, smaller guns). But maybe WG plans to make Strasbourg the tier 6 tech tree ship.
