Well I aim as well, just not with that in mind...

Aaaah yeeess the comunity pillar that undertook the solemn responsibility to be one of the 5 or 6 BBs on the team of 12 and to bring glorious victory by precise long range fire from maximum range...

I thought about taking Sharn and Sinop but I completely forgot Nelson even exists, might take her out for giggles as well...

Maybe WG and Gcore finally fix that routing issue in their network that supposedly "doesnt exist" now that they can see it...

This

Nothing wrong with a line stopping at T8 IMHO

They can be BBs, it would be enough for them to have less vertical armor and more speed with better manuverability, maybe speed boost consumable and BC dispersion... There is nothing wrong with acurate consistent guns on a BB if she has other tradeoffs such as range, armor or reload

Khaba needs to have option to mount range module and thats it, no reason why say Kleber can mount it and Khaba cant... BTW yes she has that 50mm plate BUT she is also one of only 2 DDs taking full AP pens from BBs...

Naah just add a small random detonation chance applied every tick (say 10s interval) while you are on border and the said cant be couteracted by the flags... Logically if you hit the border once in a blue moon you will likely be fine, do it often or bordersurf - boom...

Not worth it if you want you can invest in the AFT on the cap so you get a bit more range for starting fires on that odd match you will go for a brawl, rest of the time you will be in mid or long range so secs wont do squat... Full sec build is only (kinda) worth it on ze germans due to their insane armor sheme...

When you get a connection drop you see your ship moving, enemies moving but you cant shoot, after few seconds your ship stops moving or goes in circles, same applies to planes as well... I had more then enough of an opportunity to observe it of late... Hence the conclusion is that eiter SOME of the movement calcs are client side or the client is applying some sort of prediction algorithm to compensate for minor packet loss or likely both to a degree...

Krispy is a great ship if you play her to her strenghts and esp in div when, not -2 ofc 1xDD like Kami or similar and 1xKrispy is a good way to farm T5 Rank Sprints for instance, I would like having her at T6 for ops actually

@OP If we are talking about artillery age DD vs a BB (time period of the game) and take into account limited ammo and reality of the naval warfare - hardly, while theoretically it would be possible (nearly anything is possible just jot very probable) it is unlikely that a single DD would be able to win a gun engagement vs a capital ship, not that any sane captain of a DD would ever seek combat in the given circumstances anyways, at least not unless its the only available course of action... A much more likely scenario of say a WW2 era 1on1 "random encounter" would be DD breaking off and maintaining either radar or intermittent visual contact at max spotting range and radio in the location and course of the BB to the fleet HQ, which would either assemble and send an adequate surface strike force or a naval aviation force to wipe the BB out or render it wulnerable to torpedo strike by a destroyer...

No, the MM would still create +2 matchess so balancing would need to be exactly the same

Then domt play weak T8 ships, there are ships that are better at carrying and those that are worse and it goes double if you are bottom tier... Lets put it like this (even if I dont really like PR as a metric as its heavily damage influenced) take a ship that you can make at least 1500 PR in consistently and play it to the max, if you are really concerned about purity of your stats and there is a lemon in the line you are grinding - skip it with free xp... Additionally its better to be really profitient in one carry ship then to be average in 20 ships even if playing lots of ships has advantages as well... As for general carry ships, we are talking primarily high tiers here: 1. AP armed CVs basically IJN CV line (allows you to surgucally take out the no 2 on the list without cunterplay plus do other cv stuff adequatly ie counter no 3) KM CVs might be same or better when they come but it remaind to be seen... 2. Radar cruisers esp the tanky kind ie US and RU heavies (they counter the no 3 on the list) 3. High stealth DDs that can do lots of damage through torps (not revealing themselves for the damage done) ie IJN, US and pan asian, possibly pan euro although latter two have their drawbacks...

Problem with that is how do you actually gauge a unicum... Many players that dont do re-rolls will have a burden of large number of crappy battles they did in their early times and even after they improve significantly will have average or barely above average median on their metrics but their recent stats and skill at that time will be far beyond that... Besides in the long run everyone will end up as 50% +- few percent points... Once upon a time we had a Team Battles mode and I guess the said was not popular enough for WG to maintain on servers but maybe we should petition for its return, maybe as 9vs9 or something

Actually Krispy is one of the great choices at T5 for a sealclubber esp if in div with a a kami...

These secs are firestarters same as US ones, you can make that work for you but dont expect wonders,full sec build is not worth it on anything but german IMO

M8 its PTS 0.9.4 if is not an if anymore, they are here next patch or the one after at best

Yep and its a hopless situation really... Despite WG stating its a test we can call this BS, once they get them in game even in this rstricted mode its a one way ticket to doom, the way I see it there are two options: 1. We "all" play them "en masse" to abuse the heck out of the broken sub mechanic and they implement them in randoms on the "wave of popularity" 2. "Nobody" plays them so they are added because they are found to be balanced, low impact and hence not deteimental And after a while the broken unbalancable mechanics are there to stay as 2 many man hours were put in, premiums were sold etc... I for one am not spending a cent on this game untill I see the sub mess through

There is a world of difference between RN 14" and the USN 14" m8 you should try Arizona, really... I actually like how Cali looks and likely will get her at some point one way or the other (shop/crate/doubloon depending on the price) she is just the kind of ship that appeals to me (even though the US standard BBs can be annoyingly slow) if nothing else for collector reasons

Well California is kinda of questionable value but you need to keep few things in mind though... 1. Although in this game more of the smaller guns often actually beat less bigger guns since the max dispersion area is fixed on given distance, ofc WG usually takes good care of f** this up on most BBs with many guns by giving them god awfoul sigma in comparison to other but well... 2. Cali has monster AA for her tier 3. Its likely primarily aimed at NA market where she will sell like hotcakes

@OP 1. Game is built to encurage buying premium ships and/or premium time 2. You can play without them but you need to farm cash in mid tiers or with premium ships Now you have 3 options to solve the issue long term: 1. Pay up 2. Grind a T9 freemium and play the cr** out of it 3. Join a clan that plays CB in Storm league or higer and take the month worth of premium time every season, with other sources of premium time and some inintial purchase of something like 3 mth or so you can extend your Premium time indefinetly...

Ahh I see you dont realise WHAT problem the devs were setting out to solve as they solved it perfectly... The problem was hardly anyone was playing T9 ships and that included the things such as Jean Bart, Georgia or Alaska that were well shall we say a point of interest to be played more and surprise after the MM changes the JB for instance exploded and had to be removed from sale due to over abundance... Now lets remember what makes those T9 freemium ships different then any other freemium?

CB didint exist when stealth fire was a thing, at least not as CB in todays sence as Clans were introduced after stealthfire removal, more on topic IDK if WG can even implement that kind of limitations within class distingushing between CC/CA/CL and individual DDs...
