Moskva counters Klebers quite nicely though, those shells are fast enough to hit anything and 9s reload aint bad either

Somenoe linked Notsers vid on her the other day

Yep it always amaises me how a 15" AP salvo fired from 13-14km into its broadside does nothing to that thing

IDK m8 had one cockroach smokefiring yesterday when he suddenly got introduced to a 457mm "american piercing" salvo with the corrisponding devastating strike medal and citadel hit ribbons that came my way...

Excuse me? Cunningham is NOT the main prize of the event, LONDON is and to get her you only need elbow greese and some t5 + ships, Cunningham is "above and beyond" prize for the most dedicated and there is nothing wrong with that concept in my book

Not aiming to be the "devils advocate" here but while Cuningham is a nice prize he is not that important and will eventually be obtainable in different ways, besides getting a T8 unlocked day one is easily within reach of any dedicated WOWS player as most of us have more then enough free xp in stock to do it, also IIRC all 3 of the brit cvs could hardly (if at all) be achieved without premium boxes (money or gold) the RNG part in the tokens is annoying though although I do dig the logic to a degree - some will be more lucky and get all, some less lucky and will get one or two ships and you at least have a chance to get them all without paying, would be good if the corrisponding premium boxes are not random though but guarantee the drops and at a reasonable price for instance that getting a t6/7/8 amount of gold needed corrisponeds to slightly above the even permanent camo price for that tier which you get in the package...

I am not sure about that but I guess its possibble, I will take a look at the Moskva/Stalin service cost (the most closely related pair I have) next time I play them

Exactly and I am not either

Yes but that only shows that the balance of sone ships in that tier is off, fir instance most CAs dont have heal but certain overperforming DD does

And that would be part of the camo?

Enough for what? Multi day chatban? Ofc it isnt, but also makes the methaphore moot as "beeing offended by something" and "beeing abusive" allow for a broad interpretation, ie if a sniping usless BB that doesnt do to support his team "takes offence" or "feels abused" for beeing pinged and called out for his dumb "tactic" he is within his rights but if I feel "abused" by having my match ruined by him its irrelevant as he is free to potato all he wants... And yes I do know none forces me to play randoms/ranked however none forces him either

Well CB beeing the pinnacle of the standard game mods (not counting KoTS and private tournaments for obvious reasons) ideally there should be no restrictions other then no CVs and less then say 3 BBs per side, every clan should be allowed to train with and field any setup they want and take their chances, however this "no cv & 1 bb" is sort of a theme that has been accepted and it works quite well IMHO so it should be continued and as some already wrote - proper individual ship balance should be sought instead... Only thing I would change in the current CB format is more tier diversity although I can undetstand why WG prefers T10

Well maybe T9 version of Narai? Jokes aside some capital cruisers can actually make use of their secs in some situations, for instance I killed more then one cruiser with my PR secs this seeason of CB

There are divs in this game so often 2 or 3 of the "chads" not only know each other but speak with the same voice

PREMIUM ships end at T9 which is the highest tier (as of yet) that has the ships with real premium bonus, the reward ships such as Smolensk and Stalin only have bonuses of a normal T10 permacamo, only thing they really share with premiums is the fact they can take any captain

Poll cannot be answered becouse the second question implies you answered yes in the first

Historic mode can inhalt a lot of gray area, if you consider the stats of the ships that actually existed in game how do they relate to real world? Also tiering of ships and say upgrades or rebuilds they revieved in their service life might completely change vital stats propeling them one or several tiers up... Also what how do you even decide which tier a ship is? Year of design? Year of commision? Its just a minefield TBH A goid start would be some WW1 and WW2 themed ops but as we know those are far so back the proluority list they dont even appear on the index

He provides the fixed boost (only way on mid tier BBs since no slot 6) to secs and 100 hits come pretty easy on them even without MCFSA

Well when driving Shima ita always nice to see that tight blob...

Why not those tiny nuke bomblets that CnC Generals/Zero Hour China Nuke General planes had... That would solve the issueas neatly, 3 min prep time and the carpet bomber squad kills everything in the hitzone

You got a point there, I tried Borgogne and while she does her flanking job well the teams are so speshul this season that expecting anything except high caliber + 3-5 kills and 3mil potential while pushing in all the time to carry is delusional

Oooh I can tell you, try him on Sharnhorst, its hillarious

Yes but DDs got more powerfull in return as well

Well Venezia is a nice cruiser but has few issues IMHO... 1- you need to fire constantly, she is one of cruisers where the rudder in slot 5 is definetly a prefered choice since you cant just shoot a salvo or two to start fire then go stealth to take some respite while your fire does the job for you, when enemy is range you need to fire upon reload if you want big damage numbers meaning you are spotted all the time anyway, that brings it to: 2 - armor sheme is full troll, both ways, armor is completely inconsistent esp against BBs and even at (seemingly) exactly same angles, one salvo bounces off you doing almost no damage and then the next one takes 80% of your health away... 3 - SAP ammo has issues in consistency against many targets in many situations, to actually do some real damage you need to know everything about the ships you have your sights on and even with proper target selectiom the SAP is again full troll one salvo doing 2k and next one 20k at (again seemingly) same angle of impact 4 - range is mediocre, torps are underwealming (although you still tend to troll am occasional BB or cruiser and even some smoked up DDs with them) and due to slow reload she really needs Sansoneti to shine... BUT And its a full, whole hearted BUT That ship is so god damn fun to play esp when RNGesus sais YES, all the pain and frustration is worth it for that one salvo that cuts a seemingly saturated targets HP in half or devstrikes it, or when you oneshot a DD from 15km away...

The core issue here is do you think its "My Kidd/Fries is not chased by CV because its not worth the bother" or "My Kidd/Fries is not chased because CV fears I will defeat and deplain him" couse the former is quite reasonable to assume and for many other DDs as well and for the latter only if he is a full potato...
