Thats what i feared aswell when i got Montana, but i gotta say, GK is still better at pushing & tanking. Monty has the better dispersion, especially longrange, but its definetely less tanky. And GK has a really nice reload. Even tho im not specced for secondaries, i use the LM, and 24,6 sec reload is really good, while Monty has 30 seconds... Well, for T7/8 i think they still work good. (Alltho tank Bismarck is really good aswell) But with the current meta, on T9-10 i wouldnt want to try it

In Monarch, ive had both nice games and really bad ones (like the above). Really depends on map and battle tier level. T10 game on Tears of the desert... yeah, nothing you can do really. Just kinda feels like playing BIsmarck all over

BBs is 60 seconds, and all BCs. Graf Spee is the only one with 45 secs.

Well, and now look at the others who wanna play Cruisers and BBs, and they get a yolo suicidal DD which just dies, and on the other side they have a super unicum DD player who cant be spotted by other means and has free reign. Majority of bad DD players manages to get killed without radar. But against good DD players, you often need several to bring them down or make them go away. Yeah, because reworked CVs are totaly the same as RTS CVs were Just yesterday, i shot down all planes with my DefAA Mogami and the CV couldnt drop me.. oh wait, that didnt happen. He just dropped me regardless SEVERAL times. While with RTS CVs, i actually could skill for AA and it did something, and DefAA did something aswell.

I already ranted a bit in the devblog section about the change. Imo the long reload for the TX ship is rediculous. Its like LM Repu, and that thing has 431mm guns. - Bad range - Bad DPM - AP is almost standard - improved HE - Zombie heal so you can last longer if you dont get citadelled Dont like that combo at all. "Tankyness" as a tradeoff for having low damage output = not a desirable pair or traits imo No, standard AP with slightly better Ricochet angles (but not the same as the CLs)

Buffalo is always nice Especially the AP

Smolensk can get up to 19km range because of AFT + Rangemod. So range is no problem for Smolensk. But a 10pt captain isnt that great, more is better. I dont like Smolensk that much. Is kinda boring to play for me. only got it right away because it was so hyped. Ill get Thunderer next.

So basicly that means remove radar... They can still decide matches better than Cruisers and BBs. Only CVs have more game influence.

The only question is: Does it have TRBR? You know, just in case you want to kill your entire team 5 secs into the game

Especially nice for newer players. Its definetely different if you are playing for a long time and could grab all the slots over the years.

Meh, the better HE pen is situational at best. Its not like, you need to bend yourself to get IFHE with Henri, which results in 52 vs 58mm of penetration. Which boils down to: Penetrating IJN T9-10 BB center deck armor. Sure, you can also skill IFHE on Goliath (because why not, you dont need those points anyway) so you end up with 76mm penetration. So you can penetrate: - Soyuz upper belt, Soyuz/Kremlin Deck - Lower bow of all T7+ german BBs, this i can only describe as irrelevant tho. - Citadel smolensk Imo most of the time, you wont really feel the difference, maybe against the Soviet BBs, because of their DCP. Against others, Henri is better at giving them permafires with the reloadbooster. Not to mention, slower reload always has the risk of not being able to shoot at all, if the target is going behind an island in time. You cant measure this, but it does happen. And i think, not getting hit is better than getting hit and being able to repair more. Henri has the tools, to engage enemies without risking too much. Speedboost dodging and ofc the better range. Basicly we are seeing the same trend as with Smolensk: being able to farm BBs a bit better, but at the cost of everything else. Also, 10 secs to switch ammo with EL is horrible for a Cruiser imo. The difference to BCs is ofc, that they can overmatch DDs with their AP. While shooting AP is suboptimal for them, its still better than the fear of bouncing on an angled DD.

You are a funny guy You are comparing both stock - nothing wrong with that. But that doesnt reflect actual gameplay. - Henri has much better stock range. So regardless, it WILL shoot more often because it can. - If you take range mod for Goliath, you get the same range as Henri, but Henri can take reload mod and get 20k more HE DPM. - Reloadbooster will automatically swing it into Henris favour, even if we disregard the 6th slot module, because the stock difference in HE DPM is like 770 No, Goliath doesnt have more HE DPM than Henri in actual gameplay.

Imo it is, to showcase that we are moving Cruiser reload more and more towards BB reload. For what reason btw? Not to mention: Cruisers have large citadels, while repu has one, which is hard to hit and only for other BBs anyway. Or compare it to HIV: 9vs12 guns, 13 vs 19,5 sec reload AND reloadbooster, 19km vs 16,8 stock range. You can get the same range by using range mod, but Henri will instead buff the reload even more.

In what way is it balanced, if a normal Cruiser (not BC) gets the same reload as a BB? Thats beyond stupid... CAs arent useless enough apparently? Its not like, ITA CAs are liked by the overall playerbase. RN CAs wont be much different: Why should i play those? They are literally worse than any other CA line in the game. Bad range, bad DPM, HE has decent damage with the buff, but that would be equal to shooting HE with Stalingrad, which sucks too (Stalingrad has atleast range...). The AP is just bad because of Caliber/reload. Sure, you will still punish bad players with it, but you can do that with any other ship aswell. With the improved heal, they are ofc pretty tanky, but a tanky ship with bad DPM and not special AP is still a bad ship (imo). Alaska and Stalingrad have both bad DPM, but they got more range, their AP is special and they have good penetration because of the caliber (or russian bias^^). RN CAs dont have that with their AP. They will be forced into shooting HE more often, and with that reload its just bad. And lets not forget the range here again....

Because apparently, you think its wrong, if a ship/class would be immune to other ships/class. His proposal does not make DDs immune to CV strikes, but i gave you an example whats already happening in game: TX CVs can be immune to Cruisers, any CV can be immune to RN CLs. So why dont we focus on an existing problem first then? Or you dont care about that, you just dont want CVs to be touched...

Great, now we need to buff AA from T8-10 Cruisers and all RN CLs (maybe even ITA CAs) so planes cant touch them. TX CVs are basicly immune to small caliber HE/AP and Fires if angled properly. All other CVs are immune to small caliber AP if angled (thats why, RN CLs need AA buffed on all tiers). Havent really played ITA CAs, so cant tell if they can deal with an angled CV. How does that make a DD immune from a CV, compared to what i wrote above? Thats MUCH worse, than planes not getting told "hey, something is spotting you". Because those planes can still attack the DD...

Id rather say, its obsolete if you have Alaska

I rest my case

Friesland is also available. Just look in the techtree

Nothing has been leaked, but since we have 3 TX DDs ready to go, im willing to think that one of those could be Coal.

#Cruiser-Main #BBs suck For reference, the 2 BB games i played prior to the Mogami game: Dispersion from hell. One salvo from Richelieu literally hit the Bow AND Aft of a full broadside GK at <10km, how the [edited]? Overpens everywhere. Pens that deal no damage ALL THE TIME (i thought we conquered this, but apparently it gets worse again !?) I should just stop playing BBs and play Cruisers only. Thats where the fun is. Playing BB is 100% frustrating

Yes, must have been a detonation then (could be only 1 citadel btw)

How would you know, how many citadels you took? Game doesnt tell you that

Because they are basicly immune to citadels from other ships. Also, the ships existed before AP bombs were introduced into the game. Instead we should ask, why Cruisers take so many Citadels from AP bombs, they dont get shat on by everything else enough apparently

Imo it should work at that distance.
