The plate on T7 got buffed recently I think its 26mm now (or 27 cant remember off the top of my head) but yes the idea is catch them on the sides by angling but just enough not to get cits through the beltu, and yes showing stern is a bad idea, as is on many T8 BBs as well

IMHO SAP shells need a nerf in damage values like rougly 1/3 of it needs to go across the board and in return AP shells on those cruisers needs a buff, they can be buffed to US levels of pen angles, the reload is poor enough not to be OP in such circumstances amd SAP will still yield decent damage albeit not such high alpha strike, yes they dont start fire but are much 2 reliable and fast to be left like they are esp in competitve setting where less damage is needed, SAP is just so fast its basically undogabble and in return Vemezia is very hard to reliably hit at distance, ofc when Nevsky arrives it will likely counter Venezia but then wr just have another OP ship put in to counter the previous one...

Nelson is fine for tanking BUT properly angled tanking is needed, you need to use the belt and keep the angle of cca 45 degrees so the majority of shells bounces off either belt or front cit plate, you will eat pens and occasinal cit ofc but in general you will survive long enough to demolish the target, ofc if you are figting T8+ or some speshul ships (*cough* Sinop) that have icebrakers AND can overmatch you its a big disatvantage and you are going to suffer, badly... Lenin is ocf much more comgortable to do it it but at T8 As for CVs well in any T8 CV you just dump on any T7 BB really and of T6 CVs only Ruyos AP cits will really hurt you bad

This, any CV seeing that just starts salivating, even a T8 CV...

Dont worry M8 I have a sneaking suspition nexr CB season will be 8vs8 with 2 capital ship slots you can fill with either CV+BB or 2 BBs...

Nelson works fine in Narai if thats your concern, more then fine actually since she is full premium so you can expect random levels of income in it even after nerfs (with more damage done ofc) but 100-140 k in Narai is easy with Nellie, she has superheal as well so apart from total co*kup with Missu blapping you, you are pretty much immortal

Nope they wont put them with or immediatley after soviet cruiser split, trust me ^^

IDK I met bunch of Hallands yesterday in Audatios, didnt end well for them though

Well seems FDR will be another "lazy mans cv" for farming, soo I guess yay? ^^

Naah I suspect they will have "extended period of testing" say 2 or 3 months then remove the special mode, then they will launch german CVs through 2-3 patches and after that "decide" test was succesfoul and subs are ready for implmentation into randoms maybe they even make it one big anniversary connected to christmas event from october to january patches...

Stalins are a problem as well yes, actually Venezias only justification in given state is the fact she counters them...

This is pure semantics and you know it 6 or 7 venezias are meme setup as the ship has limitations in other areas primarily cap control but as kiting and harrasing ship that chunks damage she is good and as is both hard to ignore and hard to kill in proper hands she is s problem

Well before official patch notes are up they wont answer that, but I guess we can safely assume yes meaning the countdown to doom is starting, I would guess the anniversary or the Christmas patch will be getting them into randoms, after that it will be very questionable if there is any point in playing this game unless you are sub or maybe CV main...

WG needs to test the ships on Live, balance record at release date is iffy at best as it is, limiting the data even further would be... No, just no... Many of the issues with "OP test ships" are bot that the ships are even THAT OP but at any given time sou might meet them are driven by good players and hence wreck havoc... OFC sometimes they are OP and even remain so till release

Yes because there is no counter to Venezia right now, unless the guy in it is utter potato you need to allocate like 3 ships to get rid of her and in my book that means its broken, that ship is EXACTLY what henry used to be - meh in randoms (you need to work your b**t off for proper damage numbers) but total monster in CB settings and its retarded, Stalin/Moskva at least have shitty AA and can be dropped easy and this thing not only turns on a dime but has smoke to boot... And if they have 2 of them...

1. She has monster armor, look at the armor viewer 2. She has crappy rudder unless build for it and henry dindnt have rudder nerf but acceleration nerf No, it wouldnt SAP needs a nerf

So do we get Montpelier for dubs?

Hmm what abut Kuznetsov in Gremyashi though?

Well its logical they moved it as its getting closer and closer to the beginning of the month so they had to either move it this month or next one...

I actually tried him on gunboati-sh Shima and he was amaizing, the only reason I am not using him there is the horrendeusly slow turret rotation on IJN BBs and fact he is the only commander having the improved EM if I had at least one other IJN cap with it I would use that one instead and put the Yamamoto on Shima...

I use him on BBs and supercruisers

I guess he means the discontinuation of the old launcher support on the 20th meaning week after that but I am not sure TBH next week seems more logical

Mission done m8, after few months nobody will play the ops and they can quietly go away, after that coop as well so its PvP pleasure all the way, you will have the choice of Randoms and Ranked/Sprint/CB whatever is active at that time and occasional "special mode of the month" (Savage, space and similar) and that will be the WOWS... You will be given option to adapt or go away, kids just dont like slow motion gaming without sparks and boosters you get by driving around really really quickly

The CV will win if the DD is using only the guns and they are both full HP as well as far enough apart not to get citted by the AP shells from a said DD, otherwise its a much less forgone thing

Halland is a brick in DD terms though and a huge slow brick at that is not a good combo, yes you might even dent the CV squads a bit but in return the 40 incoming shells that WILL hit you couse you cant run away or disingage in any way will rip you to pieces...
