Didnt it have 30mm citadel roof? Or was it actually 32mm... Anyway, if you saw one being in Musashi or Yamato, you could devstrike them quite easily. All other BBs had more issues, becuase they didnt overmatch the citadel roof. However, if its 30mm (if i remember correctly) all the 457mm BBs will actually do the same. And we basicly had none of those back then, except for Conq which pretty much noone played with the 457s.

Still somewhat worse pen than Stalingrad Added Bismarck for comparision. Ofc the "problem" with Kronshtadt was the BB dispersion it received. And that insanely high velocity causes so many overpens (or started to bounce eventually), since it didnt get shorter fuse Stalin got.. or the improved AP angles... or the lower fuse arming threshold.

Incidently, you almost have 30% more damage with QE than Warspite

The problem is not necesserily, that they are overtuned, but rather that the average player knows nothing about the new ships and as a result, dont know how to play against it. Like Stalingrad when it was new, how would people know, that it can citadel BBs with ease? Afterall, its a Cruiser, and we didnt have a Cruiser before with such a high pen. The same thing happens, if you would give those new ships to bad players, as they have no idea how to use them properly. Good players ofc know the strength and weaknesses of them, so they dont fall in that trap. So rather a ship being OP, its probably more a knowledge thing which makes those ships perform so well. Remember how people cried about RN CLs and their smoke shooting? People adapted, and they arent as strong as they used to be. I still think this is more of an issue with DDs as a class, rather than them being so OP. Why buy a Friesland for the same amount, when you can get a BB? Pommerns vs Frieslands on EU server. Pommern was released few months ago, Friesland, when was that last year? September apparently according to Wiki, and Pommern almost one year later in August. Yet, Pommern numbers are already way ahead. Ok, Pommern is most likely scewed because its german. But it still shows that DDs arent as popular as BBs, for obvious reasons. Not saying, DD mains arent bad players, but there are less of them, while good players are more likely to get any ship, simply because they have the resources at hand.

Report to WG. There are more and more people who think its okey to reverse into the mapborder and not play when they are bottom tier. This needs to be reported. If noone does it, they get away with it. If one guy does it often enough, he will get banned. "There are always 5-6 Radars on the enemy team" "Cruisers are so OP" In reality, Cruisers are totaly underrepresented...

First new ranked season format extra small TX maps so Vermont will be a decent pick? I wonder if they can figure out something else to make Vermont uber pick in the new ranked season.

First 3 slots Last slot is up for debate id say, either damage con or stearing gears. Both have advantages, damage con obviously less issues with fires, while stearing gears helps you to turn in and out faster so you can use all your turrets. Not to mention easier time dodging torps. If your captain would have BoS, taking stearing gears would be the easier choice. But since you dont have that yet (obviously), its really down to personal preference. If you feel, fires are a bigger issue, take damage con.

whaaaaaaaaaaaa....????

Premiums at that tier often dont paint a clear picture, because they were/are hidden behind skillbased-grinding. - Black was a reward for 5x R1 before it was available for steel. Who got 5x R1? 99% good players, who managed the grind in a reasonable amount of games, and who were also invested over more than 1 year. - Then we got Black for Steel. While not a high pricetag, and also achievable with small amounts of steel from lower ranks and lower CB leagues, most players were eyeballing the Stalingrad Unique Stalingrads and Blacks on EU Server. - Same is true for Neustrashimy (probably even more so, as it was even less popular than Black) and Somers. Afterall, they are all DDs, and the lower skilled population prefers BBs over DDs. So either you need to be a DD main or a good player who can get the ships because he is drowning in steel all the time. Just btw the Neustrashimys on EU server - Hayate same issue, its overpriced, most people cant get it, or if they could, they wont because they took Smaland or because they dont want the ship to begin with. Leaves a small amount who either takes the ship regardless, of wants that ship for a certain reason. Both cases, its often better players who can afford it in the first place. - Marceau is way more common than the others (more than Black even), and it shows right away. Coal is not an exclusive resource, everyone gathers it little by little. - Surprisingly, we almost have 10k Benhams on EU server, but it was mostly a timely grind, no skill needed. So could be a chance, that even average players went ahead and got her. But still it might be a ship, which mostly good players own. Infact, i have Benham, but i dont like it. If Benham is OP, its apperently not OP enough for me

Last 2 months. Kita has highest techtree WR and avg damage. Its only beaten by Benham and Neutra in damage, and in WR by the same 2 + Black and Paolo Emilio. It has almost 1% higher WR than Jutland, which also got nerfed a couple (?) of times lately. Also it has 14% more damage than the 2nd best techtree ship - the Chung Mu. People should be glad, that they dont take out the nerfhammer anymore and slaughter the ships. 200m is not a big nerf, but it gives other DDs a slightly better fighting chance. I never understood why some gunboats need to have such good concealment, it really breaks the balance between weak/stealthy torp DDs and strong gunboat DDs, which can hunt down the weaker DDs.

Difference in dispersion is not that big maxdispersion in m at xkm.

You misspelled potato

Because if other ships would be as broken as CVs, surely there would be players around achieving the same WR as someone like El2azer does with CVs? But there arent, only CVs can achieve ~10% higher solo WR than DDs/BBs/Cruisers. Thus, CVs are atleast more broken (if you wanna call 70% solo WR broken) than other classes.

Id rather say, Richelieu is bad because NC/Vladi/Lenin/Massa... exist. Alltho, ive heared the same arguement about Alsace <-> Bourgogne, and with that i disagree. There is a tier difference, and Bourgogne faces much tougher opponents than Alsace. Same can be said for Richelieu and JB, alltho maybe not to the same extent.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I really only played solo like the first year of my wows career

So we have ~80% solo WR players in every ship? x for doubt... No wait, i know for a fact that these do not exist. Best Solo players are somewhere around 70% in other ships. In CVs, you can go above 80%, as @El2aZeR manages to keep producing since the rework.

I somehow doubt that WG will release more of those. We have 2 DDs, both which are quite unpopular. Be it the pricetag or whatever.

Lyon and Alsace are quite nice imo.

Ofc, last time we had T8 CBs it was Vladi/Lenin show. At first you could see some NCs, but they got replaced. Maybe some Tirpitzes here and there, but i dont recall seeing Richelieu (do recall seeing Amagis)

My view is probably a bit distorted because Bismarck was my first T8 BB and i played it like ~3 years ago. So there is a good chance Richelieu is actually worse overall Richelieu is probably the most inconsistent T8 BB, sometimes you get great games, devstrikes here and there, but most of the time its overpens and shatters with mediocre results.

They really arent that great. All that russian bias went to peoples head, some even claimed how OP Tallinn is The dispersion of the CA line is really questionable. I dont like it at all. Tallinn also has rather bad armor. Riga and Petro atleast have armor. Petro starts to be on the lower end of the damage even, it fell behind most CAs like Hindenburg, Henri, Venezia... It currently wins a bit more games, which i believe is mostly good players playing that ship, and they win more even if the ship wouldnt be that great. Im not sure about Nevsky... played it once so far, the reload is ok-ish but you only have 8 guns.

Lyon id rate in top 3 of T7 BBs. Sinop is first naturally But Richelieu basicly has the same gun caliber and amount as Bismarck. Only difference is ofc, Richelieu has 2x4 frontturrets, while Bismarck gets 4x2. To me, both arent that great, and i think amongst the worst T8 BBs.

I think with a little bit smarter play, you might have been able to help enough so it would be a win. The key point for me was, turning in too early here: You turn in, while you just popped a heal and DCP is also still on CD. Also randomly blindifiring into the smoke even tho you were undetected does not help at all. Especially after DCPing one fire.. Its too many small mistakes snowballing out of control. And you definetely dont use enough HE with your Bourgogne. Angled BBs, start using HE. Even if its not that great against Kremlin, it could help especially if you have a Thunderer and a DD with you, which both can also get DoTs in on a ship. I think using an HE salvo on the Monty would have prevented you getting a permafire from his secondaries in the last second. Or not rushing him and a Z down. Thunderer had full health, let him do something. The closer you get, the more likely it is that they shoot you, and the more shells they can hit. Also shooting a Harugumo when he is angled is favourable when you have AP loaded, as you got 2 pens for almost 8k just before he died. When you wait till he turns, you only get overpens like in the beginning for like 4k. So in essence: - You waste your HP too fast, like in the other game. You end the game using 2 heals, even tho you could heal more, but you close the distance, making it impossible to disengage and heal up. Especially in the other game. - Focus more on using HE aswell, Bourgogne has to do it because of the small caliber. If you want to stand out, you need to use both ammos. - Dont waste your reloadbooster. crap always happens, suddenly a ship goes dark, but overall you gain very little out of it. - Too aggressive at times, the only way to get more game influence is to not die.

No, the replay didnt show speedboost being used. I have a screen, still shows 4 speedboosts after 7 minutes played At best, it would be a replay bug, but the replay didnt show you going over 30kts, so even if you did use it, you didnt use it properly. Damage is mostly irrelevant. You only have 34k after 6:30. And then takes several more minutes till Salem and PR are dead, trading yourself in the process. Staying central at B would have opened up a crossfire way earlier, possibly deleting the Salem/Mino broadside too. Overall, the position is way too passive imo. Either close to B where your Yamato was, possibly in kiting position, or just go with the flow. Most random people dont want to go first, because they are too afraid and die. If you lead them, they often will follow.
