Honestly m8 unless you went away purely because of over saturation with the game there is little point as there is nothing new to come back to...

Yep, the sad thing is - there is literally nothing you can do to change that, even a full on 3 man division with meshing ships wont mean much if the entire rest of the team is completely indolent camper communion...

Offtopic - I treid the double rudder Petro but when you need to stop/go or change from reverse to ahead its so annoyingly slow I just cant endure that so I slapped the engine module on slot4 i the end... Btw I rarely play Alaska but definetly rudder in slot 5 build...

So after we established that guns bigger then Yamato 460mm ones ARE feasible in game and will be added freely we have an opportunity to make Kurfurst an actual H-44 battleship and give her guns she should have in that role, in this form she is now there is little reason to actually play her in any serious game mode as the 406/420 gimp one far 2 much compared to the 430+ option and esp 460+ option, this would also be a more historical option... Now I dont really care if you rework the Kurfurst herself or just make a premium version of it with different guns for coal/steel whatever just do it, pretty please

Yep, the entire ecosystem of ships is skewed because of the fact a CL can simply shred a CA of same tier and actually often the entire range of tiers if it just takes IFHE, WG (I understand why it happened dont get me wrong) shiehorns ships into classes by pretty vague and arteficial cryteria and that has dire consequences as the class countering system (often refered by the rock/paper/scissors acronym) goes down the drain, sinilar is true for gunboat DDs to a degree... Say a class countering system in theory is: Torp DDs <- gun DDs <- CLs <- CAs <- CCs/BCs <- BBs Now a torp DD can ofc get a lucky fish in on the fast moving DD or a CL but in general if it cant run its game over, now a gun DD with IFHE can outdpm many in (tier) range CLs and basically all CAs, CLs outdpm most in range CAs easily and its a goid damage as the IFHE shells usually pen CA plate, in the extension the CA can only rarely profit from IFHE as the BBs are both laregly unpennable even with it or the CA dpm is just not large enough to bring down a BB, I mean ok a BB is the counter to the CA but so is CA to CL - except not so much... Ergo it ends up with BBs being the class with least counters as ie its only countered by other BBs and torp DDs and its the mist played class and the most damage resistant to boot, thats why we need more BBs actually specialised to blow apart other BBs and in the same time make CAs more resistant to an average BB, WG basically had rhe right idea with buffing the CA plate to 30mm and then immediatley powercrept the change by dumping one CA overmatching BB after the other and they get more and more accurate and wirh bigger bradsides rach turn, WG really hates CAs it seems... I love my CAs but playing many of them is just such a pain these days, thats why we need a proper BB hunter killer BB, to cull the god d*amn Thunderers (and soon Vermonts) that plague the seas, one that can sail to them with 30-ish knots and vaporise them face on without the muh I am bowtanking so I am immune to you while I burn you routine... In the same time we need to buff CAs a bit to be resistant to it, the best example how much some extra plate means is the Petropavlovsk...

Actually I was thinking more in line of buffing the CA midsection plate to 38-40 mm they should be immune to IFHE fire of 6" guns and BB overmatch to the citadel while angeled, even if it means nerfing their DPM or speed somewhat to balance it out, a CA should not be deletable by a same tier BB while properly angeled unless point blank or very unlucky...

Again, explaining ones mistakes is not harrasement, you are free to take it up with CS if you feel harrased but unless there are objective facts to back your claim up nothing will happen to that person, care to guess why?

Actually there is no rule against drawing attention to ones lacking performance and calling them out for it as such since the said can be done without insults so no sale m8...

Well what I find wrong is people acting as mo*ons in a match because they you know - feel entiteled to play their own game without consideration for annoyance produced in other 11 people that ended up in the same "team" as they did, but hey learning basics of tactics and game mechanics before entering a team based game multiplayer mode is a courtesy often missing...

@citaDELer Dude, you finally arrived at the "holy grail" of WOWS and that is - ALL the metrics tracked by the game in your name are actually heavily influenced by the "team" you are playing with and while being "marketed" as your personal skill metrics that OFC is a total nonsense... Its nonsense because claiming that your personal battle metrics are yours and yours alone in a game that takes pride in having a (more or less) balanced ecosystem of ships in which one player shouod NOT be able to actually beat the entirety of the enemy team by themselves (which is fine btw) in one ship no matter how strong she is are kinda insane... I mean lets not kid ourselves here - yes occasionally hard carries are possible and better players will be better at being in a position to do it (positioning and situational awareness are most important skills in WOWS, far more important then aiming or whatnot) and recognising the opportunity to do so as well as taking it so they will have better WR in the end but claiming its solely personal metrics... Yeah... Right...

In general - no, you dont push as the r* "team mates" that are parking behind the islands the entire match will be more then eager to call you out as noob and watch you burn so they can plink one or two more salvos from safety then they will sail into the corner and proclaim the entire team as useless noobs...

WG loves the backstabbing theme...

@OP Just more examples of the "excellent programming" of WOWS we hear about all the time from some staff members, good thing that the priorities are shoving subs into the game and pumping out collab (and non collab for that matter) high tier C/P premiums... And yes I also have to restart the game far more often of late then I used to...

Yes but first you had to accumulate the elite XP on one of the ships by playing to have it available for conversion

Well since the entire work on the ARP Yamato consisted of making another copy of the already existing ship with the ARP prefix and making a camo for it well even few hundred buyers are pure profit...

Well I did.get 1k gold and 25k coal from those so I guess it was ok for a day of grinding, was boring as f at the end though

Good point...

Nope in overall stats

There would be no 1.5 sigma on T10 with 8 guns trust me

Exactly, those 8/9 shells seem to magically do way more then 12 from Furst, who would have a guess why...

12 shells mean squat if they dont to s*it even when they hit, and that fact that they dont do s*it is clearly visible from the ships stats...

Yep new season started today and the duration till next reset is visible in tree

Ok then 8x48cm it serves the purpose just as well

Oh please I know the game and also why her Random WR is disproportionate to the other metrics as I played her more then enough, regardless the topic of the thread is not BUFFING the kurfurst its remaking her into 8x50cm form

I will get those SCs, prob today but not touching it afterwards unless some really juicy rewards end up "magically appearing" later on
