Would be nice if they would actually use their own servers... and thats why we have server problems all the time

Except at some point its your problem when you start to become orange when you do it too often

No you are not, because your action made the whole thing possible. You think he deliberately turned into your torps, while might not have. Other players shouldnt feel the need to watch BEHIND them, because you felt the need to torp from 2nd line. Dont torp when you have someone infront of you, case closed.

HE always detonates instantly. But we have different types of "layers" so to say. French cruisers have spaced armor: thin armor on the outside, but if you look at it from the inside, they actually have thicker armor (henri has 140mm IIRC) and then there is a "hole" after that. So you shatter on that, even tho it looks like you shouldnt. Back in the days, you got permanently 0 damage pens with HE or RN CL shortfuse AP. Basicly on all other layers you can deal damage, unless its a torpedo bulge, that results in a shatter (or better: a torpedo protection hit). Layered or spaced armor usually is meant to make AP citadels less likely, as you either detonate prior to reaching the citadel, or wont reach the citadel because lack of penetration.

Maybe we can combine them together to get a real crap-fiesta going

The question is not how many different layers there are, the question is how many can you penetrate going from X to Y pen. Like 59 to 73 on Cheshire. That only results in - Soyuz upper belt / deck - Kremlin deck - Smolensk cita Dunno if there are any other, most likely not or its almost useless anyway.

Probably easier to use Modstation and activate "stingy by default"

Well i knew where he was going, but i wanted him to say it out loud.

Then no, that sounds just unfair and unfun ontop of it. @lafeel Do i have to understand why asking a question is bad?

This needs more elaboration. What happens if i have much karma (most people actually have 0 karma btw)? Will i get good players in my team, since those mostly have karma?

You do know that he plays most of his games solo? Solo overall If i play with a CV in division, idc about picking an "AA"-ship. I removed all AA skills, modules and DefAA from my ships, and i still play in division with a CV. Ok, earlier i had AA skills/modules and DefAA, but i dont need them, or better, i feel other stuff is more useful.

Can be fun, when you have a couple of suicidal cruisers around you, who make themselves easy targets, and noone shoots you because of that Alltho i didnt understand how i get 71k spotting damage And ofc with 9 fires i got a whooping 14600 fire damage

Where is your proof of @El2aZeR permanently shutting down the enemy CV with his fighters? - You are not him - You dont play with him - You havent showed us any replay, playing against him. Meanwhile: - He showed us videos and replays how he plays - Some of us have played with him, seeing live how he plays - His words concur with his playstyle, which can be seen by playing with him, watching his replays or his YT vids. So we have your OPINION vs actual facts. I dont think, removing half the HP of a Cruiser in spawn, who might not even have a heal, is much better. And still not a misplay on the Cruisers part. Noone needs to get punished 1 min into the game, because we have planes moving at insane speed across the map.

Ofc it doesnt happen every match, what does happen tho, is that the ships get spotted 1 minute into the game, unless your CV fell asleep during the loading screen. One of yesterdays game, the enemy CV was already in our spawn, while our CV was reversing to the mapborder, not starting any planes so far Getting shot at basicly in your own spawn is not a misplay imo. What should the ships do? Reverse? Except i can roughly guess how fast the DD is when he could spot me after the game starts. Not to mention, caps also give DDs away, or a BB getting shot at behind me, which hasnt shot himself or i keep distance to my own DD, so that they can spot each other before i get spotted. So yes, thats a misplay, but one that is avoidable. I cant choose not to get spotted by planes going 5-6 times my own speed. While (most) DDs are only slightly faster than Cruisers.

That should not be a big deal, especially since you have 15k games... There are only a few important thresholds, because there arent that many different caliber sizes (for BBs that is, since most others cant overmatch anything anyway)

I dont think it is. You won 14 out of 34. Imagine if you would have gotten only 4 more wins out of those - almost 53% WR. Ive had this aswell, and not only Fuso. Ive even played it twice after the grind i think, lost both (even in 3x div), simply not carryable. My GK looked atleast as bad as your Bayard after 30 games, now with 80 games i have 65%. I think the point is, either you are confident and know you are doing the right things, and its beyond your reach to carry or you question yourself, which might not be the right choice afterall. - Dont farm BBs with HE - Shoot DDs and Cruisers Works for any ship pretty much. Here another point of small sample size literally same damage/kills, yet Hiei has much worse WR.

First rule of WoWs balancing team: Never admit a mistake, and DONT REVERT THE NERF! Better to just add some buffs elsewhere, and then secretly revert the first nerf with even more buffs You mean those are the cocky ones, which can be snacked even easier because they have AA on?

Balance doesnt need to make sense. BBs shouldnt be AA fortresses only because they have the most AA mounts. BBs should be the prime target for CVs, but sadly they are not, because catering to BBabies is something WG really likes to do. If you add the possibility of having a Fighter, BBs still have the most capable AA defense in the game - except CVs ofc

I think you can go for cap radar with Donskoi early on, but it also depends on the map. Ill put in 2 examples where ive been in Donskoi, one where i went to radar the cap, other where i didnt. #+ This is where i went to radar the cap. I watched, that my concealment range wouldnt go pass the Cap while i approached it. The Island in the Cap is something, where most DDs go towards, or they stick more to the center. Either case, i could use the island to hide myself from the DD. When the DD touched the cap, i immediately turned towards the island to get my Radar range over the cap, and trapped the DD in the cap. While doing that, i turned hard left to shield myself at the island from almost all angles. Today had a game on Sleeping Giant We were discussing what to do with our division (had a Udaloi with me). We decided not to go towards the cap, see what happens first. I used the island again to approach as clase as possible, then turn hard out. The DD neither went for the cap, nor did he spot me actually. But by using the island, i could make a U-turn without exposing myself to BB fire even if the DD would have rushed ahead and spot me. If he went for the cap, i could have radared him even. You just gotta look where DDs often go on certain maps. Sometimes they take the Cap, but sometimes they move up the 9-10 line. So you have to take into consideration, when to turn away. Donskoi only has 600m buffer with his concealment to radar range, which isnt much. A DD going full speed towards you, might accidently enter your radar range. But being bow on is something you dont want to be in while getting spotted.

Maybe we should ask the Cruisers which i have citadelled in their spawn 1 minute into the game while playing BB, which my CV has spotted for me? Or tell them, they misplayed because they happened to spawn at the wrong place?

Used to happen more often back in the days. Faildivs got thrown under the bus quite often, then WG made it easier with changes to MM. Now with the recent MM changes, we are back so that it happens again.

I really think Soyuz is just garbage. I freeXPed it after i felt it to be extremely useless. You go close, for some reason you still dont hit well enough or get overpens. Almost my worst T9 BB, pre-pre? (i think FDG had 2 buffs in between) buff FDG is a bit worse in avg damage. Meanwhile, i almost got 100k more avg damage in Alsace which ive played also recently @ OP - Gorizia, havent even played that in randoms, only in Narai and it was super bad there - Hawkins, ok i only played it once, but the worst feeling ive had in a ship in a looooong time. Didnt hit anything - DoY, this is more of a "i wouldnt touch it anymore, because it got shafted too much". I just expect a horrible experience - Mikoyan, same as above, id just expect it to suck most of the time. Its fun in Coop tho. And one more, which will make most (all?) players go WTF right now, but its just how i feel when playing it: - Stalingrad yep. Its horribly unfun to play imo. Literally my worst TX Cruiser. Expect to get focused in your own spawn. Also expect everyone to angle against you while we are at it. Ive basicly had an entire team once, running to my flank and they all tried to shoot me Might aswell forget that you have radar, when you go so close to actually radar a cap, crap will hit the fan fast and hard Worst TX Cruiser for me. Not in WR tho, as being able to tank half the enemy team usually gets you the win quite often I only recall one fun game in it, where i managed to just steam through the enemies, and kill them of because they let me.

Another "average" game in Alsace

Ive heard it makes some fine toilet paper

The problem is, WG kinda thinks its OP aswell, since they removed it rather quickly after CV rework was "done". Ofc they cant say its OP, but they sure know about it. They just do it, to get more money from the playerbase
