BBs are supposed to be countered by DDs. That`s why Missouri has radar :D Becuase 4 radar cruisers per game isn`t enough. I hope it will never return.

This Aigle has all the qualities of a russian gunboat, but with worse gun ballistics, and angles. I belive this is just a russian DD. But french. So play it like a russian DD. P.S. Why would anyone buy it anyway.

I know what you should do: /ot It seems that you met Asashio w/o knowing what is this ship, and what it can do. I won`t repeat the entire "How to brutalize Asashio in 10 seconds flat" thread here, but here are some tips: 1. You can use literally any ship as a spotter between you, and approximate Asashio`s position. 1a. If no ship is available use island. 2. CV, and radar/hydro cruisers are your friends - support them. 3. Every equal or higher tier DD can beat Asashio 1v1 - tell your DD`s to do just that. (Some T7, and T6 can do it too) 3a. Because of above he can`t contest any cap. EVER. Focus on caps rather than racking up damage numbers. 4. Camping won`t save you. It actually makes things worse, because he`ll get you anyway with 16-20km range, and by sailing far behind allied ships you increase the angle at which he can send his torps without getting them spotted. 5. Check the spoiler and abide by those steps.

Those Aerodrome AI planes are also way too weak. One Atlanta with just BFT, and AA module can brutalize an entire wave w/o any support.

I hear the BBabies crying even now. Support DDs -> DDs find Asashio -> ??? -> Now you have DD advantage -> enjoy your win. If you push then Asashio is no better than PA DD, but still lacks said DD`s firepower and smokes. There was about 10 page long thread after Flamu`s 1st Asashio, and it was concluded that Asashio is by no means OP. Yes you can farm "Less skilled players", and get some big numbers - like in Flamu`s 2nd review where he says Asashio is OP because he killed Montana that didn`t turn even after he ate torps, or a Tirpitz that would die anyway 10 seconds later to Shimakaze torps. Then there comes any other DD, and shits on you because you can never contest a cap or win a 1v1 fight with this ship against equally skilled oppenent. I personally took a huge dump on Asashio 2 out of 2 times i met him. Only in the second game he managed to get 1 kill. And this was against arguably better players than me, since testers are rather good players and I`m a generic potato.

Agreed Republique also won`t overmatch 32mm bows.

So is Graf Zeppelin isn`t it?

I`d go with a ship. T10 rarely generate any credits, especially on standard account. T10 permacamo gives you 90k/battle of savings. My Atago (i know it`s T8, but i don`t really play T7 anymore) on the other hand brings home on avarage 250k/battle (net profit), with exp. camo rather than stock one. 1m+ also happenes a lot with wyvern, zulu, and revolution camo

As stated above I also experienced significant loss of FPS, and a lot of lagspikes from 5-6th game after starting the client onwards. Looks like a memory leak to me. i7 6700 HQ 8GB DDR4 GeForce GTX 960M 4GB Win10

If i didn`t already have Atlanta in port I`d not do this operation. Like seriously, what`s wrong with this ship limitations. Also AI BBs ram each other for no reason.

I belive this might be because armor belt on Iowa, and Montana is just too damn thicc, aswell as angled thus making any plunging pen below waterline improbable. Like really - even Iowa has 3-4 times the citadel armor of Republique, and Montana not only gets overhanging armor belt, but also better angle on citadel plating. Anyway you can pen the citadel of Iowa, and Montana, but you need superior penetration, rather that plunging fire as it is required with Republique

What I mean RN is [edited] i agree on that, but US BBs, and french CAs get citadeled all the way. Moreover french CA`s or actually quite easy to devstrike, since they got very high placed flat piece of citadel armor belt w/o any cover between 1st, and 2nd turret.

Unlike Bismarck, NC can`t do a tactical 180-deg turn. Nose-in NC can only be removed by either torps, flanking, or prolonged he spam (or Yamato shouting F-you from 20km away) Under heavy fire you shouldn`t even attempt to use your back gun. Since NC has the US Super-heavy AP ™ you can, and should abuse plunging fire, which makes it possible to eaisly citadel things like german CA, Conqueror, or Amagi (and apparently french BB`s too) If you want better effects with plunging fire don`t fire at target`s waterline, but rather 1/3 of broadside height for BB`s, and 1/4 for CA. If you do this your dispersion will be centered over target`s axis, rather than it`s side.

Good point. I was just about to uninstall after 1st stage, which i completed with a mighty Dunkerque. I think i might contract cancer if i try doing the 2nd stage.

They ram each other at the end, therefore making it impossible to finish the mission. Got caught by it on the first try (would be 5* though), but got a clear 5* on the second. +1 For Atlanta being a top pick in this operation. Whenever enemy planes come for a strike your plane kills soar faster than your hits.

Akizuki can work out for you, if you care. Camos from 2nd, and 3rd mission stage are just ugly though.

It`s also an issue during early game, when BBabies are still struggling to leave base, and you try to stop the enemy from capping - when you obviously can`t wait 10 minutes for backup to arrive. Radar cruisers shouldn`t have concealment slightly worse, even, or straight up better than their radar range, because there is simply no counterplay if said radar CA decides to just rush you. In CA if you run into a battleship 9/10 times you can angle away w/o much consequence (or if he pops up on a distance that makes escape impossible you can usually trade 1:1 with torps). Battleships can eaisly dodge torp attacks with WASD hack, and if it doesn`t help most of the time they can just turn into torps and eat 1-2 tops (DWT is a different story though). And finally what can poor old DD do? Press alt-f4 because there is no way to run if you get ambushed by radar CA, and you don`t have either 5 BB`s behind you (which said CA will spot), or island you can hide behind. How exactly does WASD hack beat "detected" marker? Also i`m far from being an CV ace and i`m yet to be surprised by a DD. There is nothing difficult in pulling all your attack planes the second you notice "Detected" marker, and there is no ship on the minimap. No doubt about it, but if radar CA holds his fire then there`s no way of knowing that you are running into danger until you`re fucked.

You obviously don`t understand what i`m talking about. What i mean is that even though the enemy can`t see you (because concealment), they KNOW you are there becasue "Detected" marker tells them so. And guess what happens if you happen to run into e.g. Baltimore which has better radar range, than spotting range. Or guess what whappens if you try to sneak up on enemy carrier. The second you spot him his "Detected" maphack tells him to start scouting area in his spotting range, and guess what happens if he finds you.

Well then i guess i`m meeting some weird Khaba`s. All of them seem to run RPF and yolo charge straight at me whenever i`m spotting them. I`m aware that RU DD`s should go AFT+BFT instead of CE+TAE, but then there are people that don`t run LS on DD`s. Good idea might be also reducing the torpedo spread angle, so you can`t fit a battleship between "Tight spread" torps from 7km onwards. If you ever manage to get into 7km from a BB w/o getting radared/hydroed into oblivion. EDIT: I`m still wondering why the "Detected" marker is a thing in this game. ATM good detection distance is not really useful, since everybody gets a big fat warning saying "ENEMY DD IS HERE SPAM RADAR NOW". I mean, if you have removed it`d require at least some skill to pinpoint the location of enemy DD`s. Also it`s kinda noticeable that BBabies doesn`t begin turning away when they are being shot at. They turn back when they get spotted.

No you can`t, because any half decent Khaba will know that he`s spotted by a DD, and run RPF. And not even Shima can outrun an angry Khaba. It`s not like the entire map starts shooting you if you ever get spotted in an IJN DD. What i mean is that with all the additions of torpedo, and DD spotting gimmicks the DD line that most of them all relies on stealth got nerfed the hardest. Really IJN already has the worst concealment on their torps anyway for "A reason" so US gunships can actually torp more effectively than "specialized torpedoboats", and i`m not even touching PA line because it`s just a sick joke at this point. Oh, and since you are a "specialized torpedoboat" you also get the shittiest guns in all DD lines - again - for "A reason". I still belive IJN DD line is in a desperate need of a buff.

Yeah right. And before you can do that you either lose half health to enemy DD gunpower, or die outright because of a random BB volley. You can`t do much of a evasive manuver with just 200m spotting advantage (shima vs z52).

Once you deplete BB`s bow, and superstructure (and maybe aft, if he`s the usual potato), there will be no real way to damage him anymore. And i don`t think many CA`s can pen main armor belt of BB`s at distances allowing for said CA to survive without praying to RNGesus. So this would effectively buff BB`s - I`m not even surprised. You might want to fix the reasons why BB`s can fire on DD`s in the first place. Like Radar, and hydro going through islands (which it doesn`t do IRL), or concealment on radar CA`s allowing them to radar as soon as they are spotted, or AA so bad that CV can hover planes over you for entire game.

Sometimes i have the urge to go back to the 10th line to torp some allied bb`s.

WG won`t ban you for being stupid. Just report him < giggles > and hope for the best.

We`d need WG to either confirm, or debunk this theory.
