Best would be 100 or more. With 100 battles, every game is still 1%, so an unexpected winning or losing streak still has some impact even with that amount of games. With 23 games, every game has more than 4% impact on your WR. Out of 23, you won 18 games. Imagine, if you would have lost 3 more, your WR would be at 65%. Which is absolutely not unlikely when playing solo. My old Kongo stats. Played both at the same time, literally same damage/kills, but 15% difference in WR.

Split is only at T8, so Shchors unlocks both trees. Kirov only gets replaced by a CL, and becomes a Premium instead.

Ah ok, well, it probably makes no difference to random battle queue. Afterall, Ranked/CBs/any other gamemode hardly affects that. But i still cant see that it would work, if only few players would want to play that mode. The sad part is, that i would actually like Arms Race mode - but not with that playerbase So im just trying to be realistic, chances for success are low from any angle imo.

Well back then i waited once 15 minutes for a battle (thought i had a screenshot, but guess i deleted it...) so it wasnt very attractive. Alltho, they also included 2 tiers which made things a bit more complicated and prolonged waiting times even more. TBH, i dont see them doing another attempt. Since they pretty much removed it for 1,5 years, that already tells us something. Making it part of ranked season only forces people to play it, while otherwise they might not.

Gneisenau / Scharnhorst, alltho i do like the double turrets more than the tripple turrets just by the looks of it.

Last time i checked, i had like ~1700 camos in stock of all kinds (except Type 1+2, i sell those) Signals dunno, like 13k id say. Roughly 1000 of each AA, Secondaries, Zulu, -10% service, Flooding, Deto (1400 of those). From most others ~500, except the super special like Hydra.

Shchors has a very high skill floor. Thats why the average stats are in line with many other ships. But since the IFHE rework, it should have lost some of its power, as it wont get 32mm pen to hurt T8+ BBs anymore. Also have to remember, Shchors got introduced back when IFHE didnt exist. So its high firepower wasnt much of an issue, as it just kept shattering on many places, basicly all T6+ BBs and T8+ Cruisers. Introduction of IFHE unbalanced many CLs, naturally one like shchors with high ROF + tons of guns profitted a lot from it.

Well, for me it is. It has by far the best hitrate amongst my BBs, even passing many Cruisers. And the sample size with 18 games isnt small either.

Ive had no problems with Cruisers while playing PEF (mostly in ranked sprint). The only thing its not great at, is citadelling other BBs. Then again, T6 BBs arent that easy to receive citadels in the first place, except Izmail.

Most accurate guns for its tier?

We already had that at some point, like almost 2 years ago?... it was utter crap tbh. Yes, they improved some things compared to back then, but it was a standalone gamemode: Waiting times were horrible, and most people didnt bother at all. People ignoring buffs had a much bigger impact than ive seen this ranked (mostly from watching streamers, i dont like playing arms race due to it being so crap back then). Quite frankly, the playerbase is not capable to make such a gamemode work. They are already overwhelmed with caps, time and points

Meh, if those speshuul players would stop playing CVs, so we get less CV matches overall that would be enough success for me. Afterall, they only play CV so they can be safe while striking all others, even tho they are incapable of actually damaging them. Cowards getting smacked -> i like it. Now find a way to do that to camping BBs too and we are on a way to a better WoWs

While it is quite hilarious, the most obvious solution is to play TX CVs, as they are basicly immune to longrange fire thanks to armored decks... Also, solutions for WG: - Reduce BB firing range - Buff all CV decks to >32mm - remove CV spotting Lets take the most retarded one, so number 2 it is

This is actually a valid request. You cant complain about radar imbalanced, when you fill up a slot with a ship, that DOESNT have radar. Play a radar ship yourself, if you think its necessary. Atleast your team will have 1 radar that way.

Not really. While Kronshtadt (and i guess Azuma too) profit more from longrange fire, Alaska can definetely played closer range thanks to its armor. Its not easy to get citadelled, unlike the other 2. Well, Kronshtadt is atleast fairly tanky unless its >430mm hitting it (then they can overmatch the 30mm citadel deck). Also, Alaska definetely needs to be played AP heavy, so you need atleast some angles to get use of it. Ofc its easier, as it has improved AP angles. And it doesnt have those railguns like Kronshtadt. If you go too close with Kronshtadt, all you get is overpens.

Did also get buffed to 27mm right? Not that it matters THAT much, but a little bit i suppose.

But why do Captain skills need a drawback? Afterall, this is a 4pt skill, which is a drawback in itself (sacrificing 4pts instead of picking something else). There are only 2 other skill with drawbacks* to begin with, one being TA reducing the torprange and IFHE reducing the firechance. While +5kts torpspeed without a downside might be OP for 2 pts and IFHE giving a straight upgrade without drawbacks would be even more OP, i dont think secondaries shooting without a bonus would suddenly make it OP. If that would be so, the skill itself would be very OP *massiv AA is a downgrade for most ships, but lets not go there.

Probably its gotten a bit worse over time, yes. But for me, Nelson, Missouri, Musashi and Alaska are all excellent. Kronshtadt is not really weak either, but it felt really frustatrating due to the bad dispersion. Azuma was the first i didnt get, and wont get. Its not unique enough imo. Got Friesland, but didnt really enjoy it. It lacks torps. As i play only division, i want ships to excel with teamplay, friesland doesnt feel like that (same as Benham btw). Hayate and Smaland are totaly overpriced and really offer nothing special imo. I decided against them aswell, and put 1 million of my 1,5 million FreeXP into a couple of TX ships instead.

I wouldnt put it like that. Sure, there is personal preference, but the only one standing above the others is Musashi. Alaska, Kron and Missouri are more closer together, thats why i think its more about what one personaly likes. Atleast for me that is Kronshtadt might be a bit better these days thanks to the armor buff it received, but overall it might be the most "annoying" to play out of those 3.

Instead of focusing about others, use the energy to learn the game? Wouldnt that make more sense? Guess not... Every noob will shoot you, if you present yourself on a silver plate - nothing will change that, except playing differently.

Alaska - this was a trick question right?

I have both aswell, and Stalingrad performs for me more on a T9 BB level, while Bourgogne is my best ship by damage. (for WR, i havent played either enough). Not saying that either of them is fine, but flamus vision of them differ too much. He always hated on Stalingrad, but for Bourgogne, his opinion was much more mild. Mostly its a joy to play for him, and as you said, in the end he said, its too much. Miles away from his Stalingrad opinion tho.

Comparision between Hipper/Eugen <-> Tallinn is hilarious at best. Ofc i wont deny that. And spot on about Flamus playstyle.

You cant trust Flamus view on russian ships, simply because he is from finland... atleast i conclude that, being also from finland. Stalingrad: OP Bourgogne: Fun Thats his view, while i think Bourgogne is much stronger than Stalingrad actually. But since its not russian, its fun ofc.

TBF, they did nerf the radar first, i think it was like 20 sec originally, then nerfed to 10 sec. I think, the heavy Cruisers shouldnt have Radar at all, and let the CLs have it instead, but with "normal" duration.
