It felt underwhelmingly bad for me too in the coop game where i collected the snowflake I didnt think Monarch was bad either... but i really dont have much hope for Lion after what ive seen/heard It felt much more consistent than Bismarck/Amagi/Richelieu. I could never count on Amagis dispersion, Richelieu was 1 game all cits, then 3 game all overpens, and Bismarck is Bismarck Monarch gave me solid results pretty much every game. Oh yeah, you are right, i was thinking about the T8 repu version Was actually called Paris

Good point Could be the better survivability? Not dying = higher chance to win? Also the hitrate doesnt seem to be worse than the others.

Reaction time doesnt mean that the target actually does evade. Or if, that it does the right move. You can see people take spotted torps all the time. This ranked i was Bourgogne, and (i assume) hydro spotted torps from my GK next to me. I managed to do a 90° turn and steer through the gaps, while my GK happily took 2 torps. Mind you, those torps were for me in the first place. Absolutely no action on the GK part (either slowing down or turning in) would have prevented him from taky any torp... Or a Daring spotting torps passing by him, while my Gearing taking them a few km (id say 4km~) behind him just took one because ...? And ontop of that, you get to hit people all the time, because they dont think that its gonna be 20km torps and they would need to evade them. Ive been joking often enough about this, but cold hard truth is, i think we have all been in that situations, were we took a 20km torp, because "those cant be 20km torps, right?" The average BB player is so empty in his brain, he will gladly take those torps... blaming his team in the process

Ive actually never payed close attention to that, but supposedly they are the same However, credit earning based is on % damage. So if you dealt a lot of damage to BBs, you might get more credits by dealing less damage if its to Cruisers or DDs. Here 2 examples, where more damage yields >150k less credits More damage to Cruisers and DDs. 2 Caps + 3 kills, which ofc also give credits.

I think they touched me Dodging torps like that - not easy with Stalinfatty

No, im just kinda baffled because you say, credits dont matter but you are being "pressured" into playing Thunderer because you have to pay less service costs. I dont understand, why that actually matters. I play a ship because i enjoy playing it. The only problem i have, is (mostly, but not exlusively) T9 premiums, which are often straightup better than techtree T9 ships. But on T10? I enjoy Yamato, Bourgogne... GK is actually my most played T10 BB (ok mostly because it was my first) but it was mostly fun. I didnt have much fun playing Kremlin or Thunderer yet, because i felt the guns didnt behave as they should. Did have fun with Thunderer in a CB game tho, where i could balance some Stalingrads Today i played Kremlin for the first time in quite a while, and finaly i had some nice salvos with it. But as i said, on T9 its kinda different... why play Izumo when i can take Musashi, which is just so much better? It doesnt really have anything going for it, compared to lets say, Alsace, which actually is kinda different, and itll be the first T9 BB i actually grind and not FreeXP. But none of those i would play, if i could turn them into premiums, because credits dont matter - fun does. Do you enjoy playing Thunderer? Play it Do you enjoy playing Yamato? Play it Having 45k less credits is only in your head...

uhm... no? T10 freemiums dont earn more money than techtree ships. They only have a 50% bonus on service Cost. So you pretty much gain (aka not spent) 45k credits by playing Thunderer compared to Yamato, if you would do the same stuff with either ship. The reason to not play a ship because it supposedly earns less credits is a new one tho, didnt hear that one before If you dont like playing Thunderer, then sell it?

yep, my bad, the flag is ofc -10%, and my clan bonus gives me a staggering -5% service cost, so 9000 less credits than someone who has no clan bonus I dont have that many battles played either, i have 13 techtree T10 ships and a couple of freemiums which also cost 7 million to mount all upgrades. Ive sold Roon and FDG once and bought them back. I dont spent money on WG. I have been rather lucky with Premium time for the past 2 years due to SCs (well and CBs which is ofc not luck but guaranteed reward), but i have played less random games in that time than in the 2 years before that. And WG has an interest, that the economy is not too easy, so they can sell premium acc, premium ships or even credits.

Im against it. The economy is already way too forgiving, especially after they gave everyone free premium consumables. With a permacamo, you shouldnt be losing credits at all. Just played a Kremlin game (which i dont have any permacamo on), and thats the result: Only used Zulu for extra credits and the other one for -15% service cost. Even without premium acc, it would still give me credits. One thing, which could be interesting, would be to have different types of camos, currently they are just pretty much all the same, with T9-10 giving slightly higher benefits. And why own several permacamos for one ship, if they all give the same benefits? F.e.: - 1 camo is for credit gain, giving extra credits and reduced service costs, but no XP benefits - another camo for XP - the balanced normal ones giving a bit for everything (XP/Commander XP/FreeXP) So you could choose, which you want to go for, and it would actually make sense to have a couple of different camos.

When the enemies think, an Alsace is a bigger threat than your div-mate Georgia on the flank, you have to be the anvil That Soyuz was glorious... first kinda broadside to me, then he realized it, and turned towards me, only to give perfect flat broadside to our Georgia next (like 4km or so) to him and *poof*

I think BBs that play like Cruisers are more fun - hence why i like Baguette BBs

Tier for tier, Alsace is not worse. The competition on TX is much stronger for Bourgogne than it is for Alsace on T9. Just today played 2 games Alsace again - 131k average. First game only 110k, because half the team yoloed, the other camped behind islands in spawn, could have been more even. I can only imagine, how strong (OP?) Alsace was before the sigma nerf. Was that space Repu thingy in that one gamemode last year.

Well i started first day of the season, and then it was kinda different. Not much intention to get anywhere, just get some missions (baseXP) which is easier than in randoms. The first few days, it wasnt like that, even tho i started at Rank 18. But after the first weekend, it was horrible. I assume, all better players, who play ranked, already steamed their way to R5+ league, leaving the glue-eaters behind. I dont feel, it mattered at all what i did, with exception of a few games maybe. I mean, it shouldnt be always my DDs that suicide for no apparent reason, if i play Stalingrad. When i play late yesterday evening, teams were much better/balanced, as it was actually carryable and it mattered what i did.

Deep down, most people actually dont need them i think... And if, its mostly because it "has" to be used in competetive games, because everyone is using it (Stalingrad, Somers...). Atleast for me, having like 160 ships in port really makes no difference if i add one more. Randoms are too frustrating to play different ships all the time. I mean, if i look at my freemium ships: The only real difference is Missouri, why? Because it was the first one, so it actually was special. Musashi already dropped after that, but i quite enjoyed it. Most of the others? Atleast for randoms, i could have done without. Salem i played a lot in Coop for certain missions, Stalingrad i played in CBs and Ranked, so it had some other use outside of randoms. One ship i really regret getting is Benham, since it was such an annoying grind. Granted, the special DD mode was kinda fun, but at some point not anymore...

A shipline, so noobies cant kill themselves fast with? I mean, the faster a ship is, the more trouble people without much map awareness seem to have. They pop speedboost and suddenly they are overextended only to get picked off very fast. If the ship only manages 20kts, they cant get into trouble too fast. Someone else will spot ships for them, so they can react to that.

Unique upgrade fo Moskva (6th slot)

Depends id say... the problem is, that some ships are strong and easy to play (looking at you, russian CBBs ) . Other ships can also be strong, but are very hard to play (Radar Mino). Removing the ability to spam one type of ship, can atleast in theory open up the possibility for different setups, as you are not forced to pick same ships, since the others have the same issue. But please not when there are CVs, i wouldnt want to play anything else than Venezia No wait, i probably wouldnt play at all... i have very little hopes for the next season anyway

Kansas looks like a New Mex, that ate a Colorado for lunch Point of this line? So they can say "not every BB line is OP hurrdurr" while releasing broken Italian BBs next with SAP and fuelsmoke

Well, "OP" ships aint working for me.. doesnt matter if the average results are much better than with DM/Yamato, but my teams are just so incredibly horrible when i pick Stalingrad/Bourgogne. Yesterday i played Stalingrad again, i had 3 DDs in one square, 2 Shimas and a Halland. Both Shimas put up smokes so noone can see anything, i radared an incoming Daring: - Shima gets killed by his hydro, just sitting in smoke, complaining afterwards "I didnt see him coming"... well if you are blind, maybe not play such a game, as he was spotted going there by my radar. - Halland ate a torp, then we managed to kill the Daring together, but since he was so low, he died to GK secondaries - 2nd Shima ate a Shima torp in smoke getting devstruck. And there went my 3 DDs basicly 5 mins into the game. Bourgogne game after that (hey atleast i won that), had a Gearing sitting in Smoke, getting torped by Somers, which i told him several times is there. And our BB managed to eat 3 more of those spotted torps after 4km~ However, if i play DM, i have less of those teammates, or both teams have them, so there is a fighting/carrying chance. Also when i play DM, my team usually get all the caps, while with Stalingrad, they do not, which is ofc a result of DDs being that stupid. As to why they are always in my team when i play Stalingrad - dont ask me... well, i had them once with DM: - A shima rushing a Halland, complaining about no support - A Z rushing a Smolensk

Yeah i only noticed when we started shooting each other, and then it was kinda over already... I was kinda baffled who blapped you for so much damage

- Shima rushing forward, gets spotted by Halland. I come around the island, radaring the Halland scaring it away - Brainiac Shima "NoW i RuSh HaLlAnD". Halland ofc kiting away from me which is kinda hard to hit with slow DM shells - Shima complains how everyone is a noob, and noone supports him. Shima Main ofc. Doesnt even understand, he could spot the DD for us without engaging him. To the left the Shima rushing the Halland In the middle, a Smolensk which i also radared but noone bothered to kill, got rushed by our Z, because why not rush a Cruiser which can kill you in 10 secs? On the other flank, the enemy Petro will plow through both our full HP BBs, after they let our Petro get killed by the flanking Bourgogne. Naturally, they sit full broadside to the Petro, complaining - Petro has insane pen - Thunderer has no armor Couldnt be because BBaby has 10 pounds of glue coming out of all his holes in his head Why are these people always in my team? How did the shima win 3 games today with playing like that? Fully deserved i suppose...

Just had @Astolfo_Is_My_Waifu on my team and @Isoruku_Yamamoto on the enemy team in ranked very weird games in ranked now... early on it looked really bad when half of our team was just sitting in spawn, crying for help

Can you go any lower? To me that its basicly admitting that, - you dont care what the playerbase thinks and feels - CVs are indeed broken but you dont give a crap

Can i also request no-DD coop? When you have a Benham on your side, and you are a BB (and no Bot Cruiser), thats basicly what happens. He yolo rushed 2 BBs, they didnt even shoot him, and got gifted the CV aswell who was just sitting behind an island when he rushed around... so much fun to be had. Maybe all the retard plays we are seeing, comes from Coop being so ultra braindead - DDs yoloing into several enemies, because bots are stupid af - IJN Cruisers playing torpboat, because it works in coop

Probably also intentional so you dont have too much fun Same here... ive seen full HP BBs desperately try to ram <5k HP ships
