So no problem i guess, if someone really wants that camo... or his 7th bismarck perma camo

Can you do it in Coop or not? That would lower the time requirement significantly, like 30 wins is pretty much 30 battles for ~8 mins each (with loading and whatnot, if you suicide and leave battle its even faster). Only the first one would be better to do in randoms, all others are easier in coop, if possible.

Same here, i enabled vertial sync and lowered some other graphic settings. Atleast it seemed more manageable with only little stutters early in the game when the ships got spotted the first time. Later on it was ok, definetely an improvement over the first games after the patch. But longterm i dont see it working out, when WG keeps making it worse and worse every patch

Better penetration could be a way to make it easier for them to fight other BBs at range. Debatable ofc if that is necessary or not. But that would only change BB vs BB interaction, which would be a good thing imo. Problem ofc, penetration is not something WG made up so far... until recently. Petro does come to mind, with completely fantasy shells, which have the same pen as 380mm shells And then there is still the issue, that Repu and Yamato are worse on average than Monty and GK... I dont agree with that, Yamato is better imo. But that just means, GK/Monty seem to be more noob friendly than the other 2, and buffing them would shift the favour even more towards them. Yep, not easy really

Shiki is newer than Bourg and has the biggest guns tho? Ohio also kinda limited access ship, not as much as the other 2 but still. I dont think a lot of average or below players have Ohio yet (if ever). Kremlin and Thunderer, while Thunderer is only marginally ahead of Conq in WR. Yamato and Repu are last. No reason not to count Repu, as it overmatches 30mm too.

Some people are attached to certain ships, and the oldest are those 3. Incidently, they are often below average players, dragging the stats down. Good players tend to play new ships asap, even if its only to try them out and see how they work. Yamato is my 2nd best TX BB after Bourgogne, definetely not weak in my book. But it does require some knowledge, more than before. You need proper angling and know where to aim. F.e. shooting a Kremlin might not be very smart, unless you can hit the upper bow, but shooting a Repu can always yield nice damage. I even think GK has its role, i like it more for div play than, lets say, Monty. Hydro and no citadel is a good thing when you need to push, and you have teammates around you profiting from you taking the heat and help you kill those enemies faster than they kill you.

No, not really. Which Cruisers are actually an issue? Open water CAs like Hindenburg/Henri/Zao/Yoshino/Venezia and DM. DM probably less of an issue, due to its more static bow-on island gameplay, which means Bow can be targeted. Leaves the others. Do you want to shoot one of those, which is properly angled fighting you from >16km or more? Usually not, as its pointless (well except Yoshino due to its size maybe). Even with overmatch, you might not hit at all, or chip them for a few k. Anyway, they can always disengage, only to target you again when you turned your turrets elsewhere. Yes, occasionally at the end of the game, this might be an issue, but you can still always resort to shooting HE, and most of those BBs actually have 12 barrels, except Slava. Or you might even try to hit the bow/stern. CLs have less armor, so they are no issue Russian tanks have 25 or 50mm, which means overmatch for all, or no overmatch for anyone. And its irrelevant for non-TX Cruisers, as they dont have 30mm plating.

The problem is, trying to hit a unicum zao at >17km even if you could overmatch it top to bottom... maybe for clumsier ships like HIndenburg its a better option, but for some others? meh... A decent Cruiser might dismantle Petro faster than a French BB. Petro being locked bow in will also suffer if it tries to turn away. While BB can just turn and run because the damage itll receive from longrange HE is negligable.

hmm, then picking on BBs is like picking on the dude that runs of to his mommy and telling what you did -> BB players running to WG, how they are being mistreated

My puny caliber BBs didnt get the memo that they are useless, someone should tell them. (no, im not specifically farming HE with them). 99% overmatch is irrelevant, because you can shoot another target often enough. If you have a smart cruiser, either ignore and move away, or use HE. 12 barrel BBs shooting HE does hurt quite a lot, even those which arent tea-infused. The 1% its not irrelevant does suck, but often enough more shells = better.

After playing a few Coop games, i seemed to have lags/freezes on Loop, but not on North... maybe map issue? In randoms i had it on Sleeping Giant, which was brutal.

Picking on Cruisers and DDs is like picking on the weird kid in school: You shouldnt do it, but yet its kinda fun i suppose. Picking on BBs is probably like attacking the schoolyard bully

Could be worse i think

Its only a techtree ship afterall. You get the ship and a portslot and what else? I guess you have to decide if thats worth 1k dubs.

Why not let BBs get some sky love? Cruisers and DDs had to share it so far I wonder, will FDR be the first freemium gettingly directly nerfed when BB tears will overflow the ocean? The only reason why it might not, is because not enough people will get/play it

I guess its already being fixed...? (NA down) In b4 CVs gets extra buffs for this patch because they had to endure these outrageous plane losses for 1day

Well, WG surprises me every patch, making players envious towards each other way to go

Ofc, bugs that threaten our baby population have to get fixed right away. Thats why, bugged EM didnt get fixed, because it was certain type of baby being favoured by this bug. Imagine, it would have cause BB turrets to turn slower than usually, hotfix in 24h? No doubt in my mind...

It will probably get "fixed", as they didnt intent for this

Not when you are on the receiving end... then the torp is always coming straight for your bow

Yup, same here. Alltho less than in randoms. More like those micro-stutters we used to have, but more frequent. Every time a ship gets detected, or dies, it lags

lol, managed to open up a thread aswell Guess it became a much bigger issue now... Atleast for me, pretty much unplayable. Basicly no fun at all, and chance for getting blapped increases dramaticly.

This is like 50/50 rant and hoping maybe someone finds a fix. I occasionally used to have those little stutters some others have reported lately aswell. But very rarely and it didnt really bother me. Went to play a game just now... yeah, pretty much unplayable. Every time, an enemy ship got detected my game lagged for a good second. Every time i zoom in to shoot, game lags aswell. This happened until like half the ships in the game were dead, then it stopped. I just lowered some graphic setting to medium, while i used to have pretty much eveything on high. Alltho both guys i played with had the same issues, and we have different settings to begin with, so im not sure if any of this helps... I guess its also one way to kill a game, by just making in unplayable for some

Probably used that to cement the crayons into their nostril paths In b4 hotfix in a few hours

Ofc i wouldnt do it (nor advice anyone to do it) but it was definetely cheaper than paying 20x1750 dubs, i just dont recall how much it was
