Because of the rather tighter dispersion, i feel its easy to dodge smolensks at range. Ofc those stationary bow-on BBs might be a different story alltogether

I also play range mod Salem, but most people complain that DM shells are slow. And Smolensk shells are equally slow, that was the point basicly. Smolensk doesnt have railguns, but that myth keeps itself alive basicly...

I have almost 80% in Marblehead - also OP?

So you also play range mod on your DM? Because at range, Smolensk shells have the same speed as DM shells, which are amongst the slowest. Those are totaly exaggerated. And that doesnt help one bit if WG would listen to feedback. 2nd one might ofc happen, but hasnt happen for or against me by a Smolensk. On the other hand, ive received 3 fires from a Conqueror more than once... Interestingly i have pushed a flank with 2 Smolensk in my Montana and killed them both Would even have survived if it wasnt for a CV and a Wooster.

Well, thats because people dont understand, that farming damage doesnt win games. They see people getting 300k damage in a LOSS and start to flame like there is no tomorrow. And from my own experience, roughly 1/3 of that damage is often just useless fire damage, which gets mostly repaired anyway (maybe even more in a 300k game). One thing it is, its rather easy to play. Sit in smoke and hold down left mouse button. And this HE slinging in general is bad for the game, but that existed before Smolensk was introduced aswell, so its not the only offender. There are many ships which are just bad for the game. OP? No Broken? Yes You can play it in a way, which will let you decide games more often - but then ive often ended with just 100k damage or less. This is nothing special for a TX Cruiser.

How does that make any sense? So they keep on sucking, because some supernatural power tells them "you got flamed in a forum you have never visited". For being bad you can ONLY blame yourself, noone else. But thats just how it is nowadays - noone is responsible for their own doings. Sure, there will always be people who are unable to become better due to disabilities or something. But most players just lazy who cant be arsed to learn anything. They stay bad because they choose to do so.

Drop back to midtiers where are less radar ships play radar ships yourself to learn their disadvantages so you can counter them when you play DD. You can keep whining and stay bad, or ask for help / educate yourself so you can better deal with radar (or anything else). Your choice. Its not impossible.

Lets summarize this: You dont like this forum because too much stickies. You feel, that the NA forum is more informative and the quality of posts is higher. Why do you stay here then? Obviously, its better over there, so what prevents you from reading that forum?

Dont think if his account is only 1month old. I still believe that might be some kinda WG fake accounts showing off premium ships... i cant believe anyone would literally spend THOUSANDS! of € on a game just like that. And this kinda happens quite often, thats why i dont believe that. Ive seen several PRs with <400 games but bought PR.... riiiiight

Oh yeah, you are right, forgot to take one off

Must be observation bias, since you have literally same avg damage on both 34/35k. Apart from that, Azuma should always have a bit more damage, as its prefered ammo is HE, while Alaskas prefered ammo is AP. And shooting HE often results in higher avg damage, which is less useful. Alaska can operate closer to caps because of the armor, doesnt mean you can just push in all the time.

You still havent answered how this makes actually sense: - I dont use any concealment, im spotted from lets say 17km - I use full concealment and am spotted from 13km. - I shoot 26km as you say. WHERE is the difference if i shoot 26 km?! It WOULDNT matter at all, since im ALWAYS outside of my detection range

Its called Slava

If 6k dubs would have been enough for me to get it, i would have spent them. Also f2p, so i only have doubloons which i got from playing (or giveaways )

So why not stay there? Obviously you are only trolling us then, since there seems to be no purpose to be here?

Lead ship runs towards enemies 20200101_182942_PASC207-Helena_s07_Advance.wowsreplay Dont have more replays since the game always changes back my config after patches so it wont store enough replays 20200101_182942_PASC207-Helena_s07_Advance.wowsreplay

Imo oneshotting DDs is highly unlikely, except its T5/stock T6 DDs. But with "improved" MM, you can definetely forget that against T8+ DDs. Id prefer Fiji for that every day. While it sure can touch Cruisers more inappropriately than others per salvo, the reload holds it back. CLs vs Gorizia? They have double the ROF, so they will still outDPM you.

I think you meant @Bear_Necessities not me And in general, im not sure if buffing HE pen will make a huge difference. For Gaede? Not really. 25mm pen compared to 37mm. That would let you pen T8 BBs and Hipper/Eugen/Baltimore. Dont think thats a big deal. Would make more of a difference for the Z23 ofc, since it meets more ships with 25+mm armor. But im not sure if that would be a desirable buff for german DDs - why would you want to dakka BBs?

I think except the richelieu (who rushed me), those BBs all wanted to kite me. But they made a crucial mistake: They let me get the small cap (which is covered by islands usually). Then they had to move in and i could just torp em

You think WG thinks/knows how ships are supposed to be played? It rather feels, they dont have a clear clue what a ship can/cant do based upon the stats they give them. Look at Ohio and Thunderer. Both of them were in testing the same time. First, Ohio was much stronger than Thunderer, because it had better dispersion and reload. Then they switched both around, and now Thunderer is better because it has more consistent dispersion. And why did that happen in the first place? They used Georgia for Ohio balancing, and Conqueror for Thunderer balancing. Conqueror with 457s was bad, but they just made a copy of that ship and called it thunderer. The 2nd factor is powercreep over time. While Conqueror was released a while ago, Georgia is not that old. Back when Conqueror was released, we didnt have as many ships we have now (also most of them werent as "unabalanced"). So 2 options: - They have no idea what they are doing - They do have an idea and they do it deliberatly for certain reasons. Looks the same way, but outcome might be different for WG. Another example are CVs: I dont think they have had any clue (they migh have now) what kinda impact CVs can have if played to the absolute maximum. Only because you design/make a game, doesnt mean you are actually good enough to play it to the maximum. They might be on a level, where they cant properly dodge flak, so it seems more balanced to them.

Hm, i think Gorizia is barely better than DOY Id say - PEF - Graf Spee - Gorizia - DOY (because of the citadel nerf, otherwise Gorizia would be last) What can Gorizia do, other Cruisers cant do better? I dont see anything. PEF is very accurate. Graf Spee it small and tanky and has a heal - pretty unique on T6 DOY was rather unique because of its AP, but now its just crap with that armor scheme. Gorizia... smoke + german hydro. Not even torps. Bad reload + 8 guns = low DPM.

No, as its not a 1v1 anymore. Some ships are better in a 1v1 environment - naturally. In a 12v12 games, this isnt the case anymore, especially for a BB. BBs are probably amongst the hardest to influence the outcome of the came, atleast if we look at solo play. CVs are the best class in there (they are also the best in 1v1s). Followed by DDs. Then Radar Cruisers, and BBs/other Cruisers are the worst. Just gonna say: Its always worth to keep fighting. Im only playing in divisions of 3, and its not uncommon that a few of our "teammates" suicide early in the game. But we can still turn the game around, if our other teammates manage to stay alive long enough. But if someone like you would also suicide because of some reasons, then we cant turn the game around anymore I remember one game where we were down to a 3vs7 (technically it was 4 vs 7 as we had an AFK belfast... but he was AFK so...) with our division. And we killed all 7 enemies without losing any of us. You never know how stupid the enemies are... Maybe some of your team were just dumber?

I finished my Wooster LM - not that its of any use, but maybe they change it You must have gotten most of that damage on that Mogador, i expected to be first in XP since i totaly snacked the Moskva

Pah, who needs BBs when you can screw them with Hipper

If i camp in the back, why would i need concealment? Speccing for concealment, i can operate closer for a longer period of time without the need to retreat. A BB being close is a bigger threat to Cruisers and potentially other BBs. And if something goes wrong, i can disengage easier. But what do i know, im ofc a stat padding elitist noob who cant play, camps in the back, farms damage, doesnt help his team, cant aim... did i forgot something? https://wows-numbers.com/de/player/season/540423429,DFens_666,season,110/ In Hipper ofc most OP ship in the game, thats why Massa and Tirp have 65% WR and Hipper <50%. Must be the ship ... oh wait
