Well I d say: 1) US BBs to sniper line and brawler line, premiums are not necesserily a problem 2) RN BBs to BB line and BC line 3) KM BBd same as RN 4) KM cruisers to CA and CL 5) IJN cruisers same as KM 6) French cruisers to CA and CL lines 7) RM cruisers as well 8) Pan euro DDs to pure gunboat line But ad gor nect is likely KM CVs then RM BBs

You said the other team is doing the same and I am telling you not always, its not always equal setup so team vs team can be inherently unbalanced from start due to ship selection

Except a) not every team has a CV and b) not every CV is a Haku that can AP bomb any cruiser or a BB into oblivion with certanty, yes Midway does good damage BUT its HE and fire damage and lot of it can be healed while its hard to heal 9 cits esp if you got them in span of 30s

Yes it is, they CAN counter it but it really takes cooedination as they need to push in together and if they camp they need to stay within flak aura distance so you lose planes when divebombing them, they will still tahe damage but in the end you are likely to run out of DBs after 3-4 runs and after that they are not likely to be harrased that much, OFC those 4 runs when combined with long range fire from the rest of your team will often means half of them are dead in the end but never the less it is sort of a counter... I had like between 50 and 130k per match yesterday but averaged like 3 kills per match regardless of damage done...

Well Stalin and PR can sort of take a role of a BB pushing bow on and punishing broadsides when applicable, the problem for them is the same BBs have - for any Haku they are just a huge floating citadel pinyata... I am really mediocre CV at best of times but even I was yesterday able to eliminate a nigh full hp Stalin with a single DB flight, I lost like 4 planes in the process, almost felt sorry for the guy... Another fight Monty and Shima pushed from the flank towards my position, one of my desmos was kinda nearby to help out a bit but Monty died before he could even fire one shot at me and managed like one volley twards desmo before TB ripped him to pieces and Shima actually managed to drop fish and hit me for 2 torp hits before I vaporised him... CVs are just 2 powerfouly yes if you manage to really stick together whole time you can kinda counter them but split up and is game over Btw @Yoshanai you were right, Haku is much better for pummeling then Auda is even if it takes (a bit) more work in the process...

And will likely be considered a raging success as you know, people want steel... Low level clans that only manage sqall to mid gale and dont have az least adequate CVs will be left alone there soon enough as all others will progress, the mid range clans that cover rest of the gale and storm will likely be able to get and stay there even without cvs, high level clans in thyphoon and upwards will just adapt no matter what...

Yes Conq and Rep came as one ship per that Year in which they appeared though and next to Yamasashi sisters were only 30mm overmatch BBs for some time, until Kremlin came along amd after which Georgia, Ohio and Thunderer came in rapid succesion and now Shickishima, ofc Conq lost the 18" option im the process but still 4 ships on total and in few years spread compared to 4 ships within one year some of which were even available for cash... IDK about you m8 but I would definetly consider this proliferation

I respecced my Balansgrad for AA service and it does pretts well, got myself 55 plane kills on wensday in one of the matches... Yesterday I drew CV duty with Haku... Yeeesss... Hmmm... Well... I think this sentence sums it up nicely... We are the seven, judgement of heaven...

And finally WG has succeeded in getting more RU ships in the lineups... Only thing we lack now is a RU CV crazy rush strategy?

Wut?

OFC Xmas loot boxes are in general best value for money of all gamble boxes in wows, still they are gamble nevertheless...

its likely for her to arrive tomorrow

Xmas crates being one of gamble crates... ^^

1. You are entiteled to your oppinion 2. They could have but didnt did they now, couse if they did I bet we would have had an additional camo or refund 3. Yes it obviously doesnt, it kinda is expected tho isnt it... 4. Yes we are keeping Moskva and she will be a useles port queen as the Petropavlovsk littetaly makes her obsolete which WG very well knows and thats the reason we are getting such a generous gift 5. I directly lose access to a T10 ship in that line, not to mention silver and indirectly 5k gold as well as 250k xp to boot

You lose 2 much fires, yes occasionally you will meet a cruiser you could have killed faster by having IFHE to pen extremities but most of the time if you are that close it wont end well for you anyway, most of the time its start as many fires you can and pummel superstructure, as a bonus you prey on any close by broadsides with AP

As in standard german pen angles

Come now look at the shell specs, the individual damage of HE shells is pathetic in line with a destroyer od same tier, AP shells have good individual damage BUT bad pen angles, this in combo with mediocre ship speed and stealth make them very and I mean very circumstantial, Bayard is way better

Wut? And Kremlin (that started the proliferation btw) has what caliber again?

How about this for logic? If I have standard permacamo for Moskva I either get the permanent camo for Nevsky or 5k gold to buy it for whichever ship I want If I have Moskva unlocked but not currently in port I get Nevsky unlocked but not get it in port and have to buy her for silver If I have Moskva in port I get Nevsky instead They can keep Moskva Couse guess what, I see no use for Moskva next to Petropavlovsk and Stalingrad Additionally I lose T10 silver line camo AND access to the T10 ship that is in this line as I need to regrind from T9 and as a return I get the coal ship I might not even want to have in this circumstances and meta? I wont even go into fact that most people didnt keep Donskoi and have to buy her back and kit her out to grind 250k xp on her spending morr camos and flags in the process... Ripoff plane and simple

Not even remotely bro

Come now we all know why we buy a permacamo for a T10 ship, and its most definetly not for them beeing pretty couse most are bu** ugly TBH, its so we can farm cash with them, ergo its a ripoff as we payed 5k dobloons for Moskva camo and now for playing either Nevsky (that is technical replacement for moskva being on her spot in tree) we need to pay 5k gold again, aditionally for Petropavlovsk (that is factual replacement for her being the same kind of class and type) we need to pay 5k doubloons yet again... In the end it boiles down to this - all those that were suckered into unlocking Moskva, buying her and buying permacamo have to spend 20mil silver and 15k gold to get same thing that others will pay 10k gold and 0 silver... Nuff said Only redeeming feature is IMO that you get Moskva weather you have her in port or not so that kinda can be considered a compensation of sorts...

Ahh comrade spreadsheet sais doubloons for freexp concersions and gamble crates bring in more then T8 ships...

Well given the way the split works I would much rather have gold or permacamo for Nevsky as I will have to spend money and time on regrinding Nevsky (and Kotovsky but whatever) and the commemorative camo can be a marathon prize or something

And then the next salvo gives 4 overpens, and the next 5 overpens and the next you dont fire because you just got torped to death... ^^
