How was that not to understand... If the fort is not sitting on waterlevel, and your range is 16km THEN YOU CANT HIT IT FROM 16km!!! Because if you would aim higher, then you could shoot further than 16km

Because if you have a lock-on, the game knows that you want to shoot the ship - not the island, even if your marker is actually on the island. If the ship gets unspotted and you shoot afterwards, you most likely lost the lock-on already and thus shoot the island because your marker is actually on the island.

My Radar mino build http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/1000000001000010010001000000001119 SE is basicly just to troll people. I feel most people go like "oh like that noob with his SE Mino loololol" JoaT can be useful with faster available DCP/Heal (even radar) If you play Smoke mino, you could take Vigilance to spot torps even earlier. Maybe gives you enough time to maneuver inside your smoke to dodge torps.

You could get the Hatsuharu last XMas in a directive. along other T6 ships like Normandie IIRC

1. page 7th post or something like that How was that about not reading posts wtf?! Might aswell say, you overpen BB citadel closerange because ... i dont even know at that point. I dont think i ever overpenetrated a Moskva citadel ever. If you dont hit the Citadel on a Moskva, you got unlucky or aimed wrong. Not at the front turrets? Didnt know about the Roon, but i believe @mariouus so i guess it is. Hindenburgs weakspot i knew about But if you play Hindenburg, its basicly up to you if you open up for it or not. And all in all: Hindenburg is still harder to citadel than other Cruisers shortrange. Not even a competition (well, unless you put something like Smolensk in there...)

If thats much easier, then i dont wanna know how you would call moskva broadside? Jackpot? I mean, balancing maybe? You can rush a Montana without getting citadelled in your Hindenburg. Roon might get away with not getting citadelled, but it will take TONS of penetration damage if you try to close the distance. Doing the same in Hindenburg is a problem for the BB actually. The best thing he can do is run away. Also yes, Hindenburgs weakspot is at the front turrets... funnily enough, you were aiming there while testing it, so i even guess you are dishonest here and know about it (take Hindenburgs weakspot, but Roons strongpoint)

Got another one in smo(p)lensk Hindenburg just stupid shooting AP in my angled armor... i gunned him down closecombat with <10k HP and only died becuase he had 2 torp salvos. But once again, stupid playerbase makes Smolensk OP i guess. With HE he would have killed me several times (i think he hit me with AP 46 times for 15k damage )

So lets say this is right, why is this bad again? Moskva is easier to citadel than Donskoi. Yamato is MUCH easier to citadel than Izumo. In return, Hindenburg has more favourable turret layout with an extra turret and 30mm plating to bounce 406/420 BB caliber. And more torps aswell.

No, or how can average server WR be skewed with that I dont recall any specific nerfs to RN CLs. I do recall buffs for some of them however. And Conqueror deserved every nerf back then. Now after the citadel change, KGV/DOY got nerfed into oblivion, but Monarch/Lion/Conq got a tremendous buff with it. Ok, russian Cruisers are OP aswell now, WTF?! Is there no limit to russian bias-whining... Kremlin nerf is supposed to be coming anyway. But the whole concept of them is upside down, but WG will never change that (much like IJN gunboat DDs imo) I guess DDs arent supposed to stealthtorp enemy ships? YOlo rush everything kill everytime never die? Sounds balanced to me...

Couple of nice games, after the first 3 were kinda shitty... See above for how shitty the 3rd was Ofc team abandoned me... C Cap.... and B Cap just to behind A all together as you can see on the minimap. Casually deleting stuff with Richelieu. After the first game was so crap, now it was much better. If BB AP on DDs would still be a thing, i would have devstriked that Kidd aswell with 4 Pens.

- Myoko has very accurate guns, good torps but is a bit fragile. - Shchors is extremely powerful, but needs IFHE. Even more fragile than Myoko. - Algerie is all around decent, feels quite tanky because of the spaced armor and speedboost - Helena DPM machine - Yorck/New Orleans probably the weakest from them all. - Fiji is the strongest, if played properly. Algerie is probably the easiest from them all, but not the strongest imo. Myoko is a bit harder to play, but can yield really good results. Pick one of those 2 if available. Shchors and Fiji can yield outstanding results, but have the highest skill floor.

I joined the other side With Radar Mino. Its so awesome, i just love it Most DDs dont expect that you are radar in the first place, and BBs often think you will smoke up and slow down. I feel actually safer constantly dodging/angling than sitting in my smoke nowadays. Sure, sometimes the games can be a bit boring if you dispose of the enemy DDs and the rest of the fleet runs in fear because they have no DDs left... but sometimes you get those really nice 150k+ damage games and you feel pumped

Pretty much yeah. US Cruiser are an exception, because of their gunarcs they can sit behind islands and be unspotted. And ofc RN CLs with their smoke too (but people love to shoot in your smoke nowadays) The key is, to be as unpredictable as possible when playing Cruisers. And sometimes you just need to stop shooting for a while and go dark. Ive discovered, a lot of people lack this ability, as they just keep shooting and shooting because they are "spotted", which in reality they wouldnt be if they would stop shooting for 20 secs. Often i like to go aggressive towards a cap and work with my concealment/islands to help my DD, then kite away for a while if necessary.

Couldnt agree more. Once again i believe, WG did that to screw with peoples minds. It only used to happen if you have 2 fires, now it happens if you only have 1 fire. So if you hear that sounds, you are more inclined to DCP it

? Source?

Id assume they give us a free respec with the change... But i do have some captains aswell, which i resetted and wont skill them unless i play that ship. If you can play Clanbattles, you also get 2 respecs from playing atleast 1 battle (first week of CBs, and once CBs are finished)

Still WiP. They do have a certain idea what they will do tho, but they didnt say when it will go live. I expect they discovered some problems along the way...

Well, as @RAHJAILARI said, they all have pros and cons. Overall id say, RN CLs are the hardest to master. But they also give very good results, so high risk / high reward ships. I think to learn Cruiser things, id go with one of those open water gunboat lines: IJN/French/German/Russian. IJN / Russians are more squishy than the other 2, but Germans also like to get easily devastated on longer ranges. Overall id say, the french are more forgiving atleast till T7. And then they get 203mm guns with reloadboost and speedboost, so you can dish out some spicy salvos and troll enemy BBs by reversing/stopping/fast accelerating. However, they lack a little bit of carry potential compared to other ships (like Radar cruisers) because they are so damage focused. Out of those 4, the russians tend to need a higher point captain aswell (unless you dont take concealment expert) since they need IFHE, which the others dont need (except Mogami 155). US Cruisers (both CL/CA) are also very strong, but they play much differently than the others. Its basicly: Go to an island and spam from there. The CAs can be tanky in certain situations (Baltimore toptier against certain BBs f.e.) but that requires a certain degree of knowledge. Baltimore has 27mm armor, so it can bounce up to 381mm BB shells. Id go for IJN or French basicly but if you wanna try something else aswell, pick the US line, also because you can unlock both CLs and CAs. - IJN or French (accompanied by US if you want) - Russian / German - RN would be the order id go for.

Could be... back in the days, Hipper was my first T8 which i played almost 250 games (thats pre-pre buff!). And then roughly 500 Takao games after that. Its either l2p or go home

Stop giving WG ideas

Make the enemy bend over and let them have it? But tbh, often Cruisers are still more fun. BBs can be frustrating if RNG says no...

You are supposed to dodge the flak

Looks like T8 to get the biggest shoved in your behind most of the time Well but tbh, i have like 700 of those T8 games played almost 3 years ago when we had the ARP missions. T7 is one of the most fun tiers however.

Because the chance is so low that its basicly impossible. I bet you wont even find anyone with 100 games having 100% WR in any ship while actually playing for the win, even the best division will lose at some point.

Hmm thats odd, Spreadsheet says you are having fun. Real answer: WG wont give a flying [edited]about people getting raped in lowtiers. I dont expect any reasonable/sensible changes whatsover anymore. I might even go so far, wows is sinking and they are harvesting the last money out of it while they still can
