Its funny how Flamu claims something as OP, and his minions follow and spread the word. Wonder why noone ever said that Bourgogne is OP? Literally first in everything since release, yet noone cares ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Clearly OP... btw its Flamu himself in case you wonder. Where is the 300k avg damage? Oh wait, maybe people know about Smolensk by now? Play differently around it? Compared to, releasing test ships to the live server where average player knows NOTHING about that ship. If you dont expect it, you will walk into the trap.

CV rework is almost finished ©WG 03/2019 04/2019 05/2019 06/2019 07/2019 08/2019 09/2019 To be continued

Id have thought the overpens most likely would be a result of the armor not being thick enough to arm the shell. But dont have either of the 2 >400mm caliber T6 BBs so cant tell how it really is.

Good dispersion and big caliber guns for its tier, same as QE and Bayern. WV and Mutsu have bigger caliber, but i wouldnt say its necessary. The advantage would mostly be against Hipper/Balti as they can bounce 381mm shells, otherwise they probably get more overpens than smaller caliber guns.

Couple of nice evening games First game in Buffalo, and 2 Asashio went straight into the cap and smoked up, arent they cute They even torped me This Alaska game... our team wanted to throw. Richelieu hid behind our CV entire game. When we finaly died because team didnt want to support, they all started dieing. Even CV and the Richelieu wanted to die in the end, as they almost rushed into the enemy base That feeling when you didnt do much but still 2nd in XP And russian bias to end the day Even citadelled the Bayern

Have you been playing Cruiser... ever?

So how much fire damage do you think is in there? If we would roughly go by 1/3 (thats what the guy with 415k damage had, and what i had myself so far aswell) we are at ~65k damage, which is basicly Minotaur level. If you die to fire, you are doing it wrong. And id say its much worse getting chased by a HIV in your GK compared to a Smolensk sitting stationary in smoke or at an Island. When you still have BBs these days who think, they dont need to spec anti-fire, be my guest. But dont cry when it kills you. Everyone has the choice to skill FP/BoS (even HA or JoaT for maximum overkill) and use the DCP mods in slot 2+4 AND use anti-fire flag / heal flag.

Its the same one in the opening post here. And then people take this as proof that something is OP Even ignoring, that he could only farm that damage because it takes ages to farm those BBs. 140k fire damage, basicly on 3 BBs. Would be nice to know how much damage they received in total, then we could see how "useful" that fire damage really was. By that standard, soon everything will be OP because the playerbase is just too dumb.

Did i deserve to win this one? Not if i look only at my own performance. But the thing is, your own contribution does not matter EVERY game! Sometimes it doesnt matter and you win, sometimes it doesnt matter because you eventually lose. But there are games, where it does matter. And those games make the difference whether you have 40% or 60% WR (or anything in between) You cant look at one specific game "uh i did 200k damage but i lost"... crap happens. You get those games like i have in my Mogami aswell. I could have been AFK and still won it. You get those games - i get those game, everybody gets them. And if you have enough games played, you will have an equal amount of wins, where you didnt need to do much and losses, where no matter what you would have done, you would have lost. My best game ever so far. Did i deserve to lose it? Doesnt matter, it simply was impossible to win. If you stay at 50% WR - then its just your personal level. Only you can change it by getting better at the game. Whether you want (or can) is a different story. But accepting it and not blaming others is the first step to being a better player. Lets look at your games from today https://wows-numbers.com/de/user/snapshot/ships.ajax?accountId=501327475&date=2019-09-02&type=pvp Just by pure numbers, you did bad with Fubuki and Okto. Maybe you could have won those if you would have played differently? You won the Orion game, which seems fair enough. The 2 Kagero games you have had decent damage, but for DDs its not as much about dealing damage to win a game. Or maybe you did everything right and it just wasnt meant to be. That i cant tell from those numbers. But its still possible, that the losses with Fubuki and Okto could have been wins with better performance. The more consistent you get, the more games you will win. If you do poorly (die too early in a DD / sit too far back in a BB) you cant decide the game.

Smolensk has 30mm plating so GK will Bounce!! Smolensk has smoke, you cant even shoot it !!!1111

Yep, i think the same thing. people see 300k+ damage games popping up (half or more of them even losses) and people think its OP. We could swap the Smolensk in the first Video with a Stalingrad (or even a BB), and it would have disposed of the enemies even faster, resulting in less damage but in a more comfortable win. Roon broadside? Easy kill. Shima not being spotted because your own shima was stupid? Just Radar it! Lion/Yamato often Broadside, which doesnt mean much if you are a Smolensk (he might even have used AP right there), but something with bigger guns would have citadelled them. It was such a close game precisely because it took so long to get rid of those BBs. Yeah... im not looking forward to the IFHE rework

Yep, a general problem these days. People rather take certain defeat than to receive damage... Had a Mogami game a few days ago with 8800 damage. Enemy DD and a Tirpitz rushed into A, so i had to kite out because i was the closest target to Tirpitz. After DD and Tirpitz were dead, i was last in line on our flank, and all enemies ran away or were already on C. Enemies had no caps, so game ended rather early. Only thing you get out of it is a win... but couldnt be more boring

Most people dont seem to get the difference... they get farmed "fast" by a Smolensk, so they think its OP. I think, Conqueror is equally annoying to play against, maybe more so, because you can hardly punish one if it knows what its doing. Luckily, most dont

Maybe you have some ships in there which you havent touched in a while? I certainly have some, can see my progress from there pretty much German Cruisers were the first line i played (except emden and Graf Spee in there ofc). Also played all US lines/RU DDs/German BBs rather early. I still remember this turd No range and slow af which basicly meant, game was over by the time i got anywhere I think the only ship which i played from back then is Nassau... Maybe should do some others to polish the stats

Im running PT AR / JoaT SI /DE CE / IFHE JoaT just because 2 points and not sure what else to take. But its somewhat usefull, getting faster DCP/Heal/Radar. You want SI too, since you get 1 more heal (and the others too ofc). I dont think SE is of much use. You only get 3500 more HP.

Probably still better to take IFHE first. Would be better to get a 14pt tho... Should be able to get that if you are at TX. edit: Range option as fourth skill? Doesnt work for Wooster...

Probably because they want to rework armor when they change IFHE? Also thats why Smolensk and Colbert have less Bow/Aft armor than the other Cruisers. Did you even watch the first video? Farmed a good 270k damage on those BBs, who were utter potatoes. And the moskva in the end... like seriously? can you be more retarded?! (hidden stats - who would have thought otherwise ) Every time i see a Smolensk replay with insane damage, i only see noobs getting farmed like ripe fruit from trees. I dare you to open water farm decent BB players at 10-12km

I often dont agree with him, but he is right this time

Should be 1600~ and thats including the Mogador/le terrible mission in each directive afaik. So you need to be top 10%? in Hall of fame ontop of that. Since i most likely wont play that much, ill go for doubloons. One day i might get my Scharnhorst

Could be because of the improved pen angles aswell. US Cruiser can citadel German CAs easier because of that aswell.

Ive had a double cita with my Roon on a GK once But since we are talking about WG here, could really be anything. Bug/feature/working as intended/turning [edited] up the armor/... You can citadel german BBs "reliably" through the bow into the frontal citadel armor, as it doesnt have the turtleback there. Just needs a certain angle to not bounce on the bow, and enough penetration to go through both platings. Did that with Hindenburg on a Tirpitz

Thats just horrible. Thats what i exprienced during the first 2 ranked sprint seasons. The games just felt so iffy. And i started to check the players afterwards, and almost every match it was like this: Division mate and me both with >62% WR. Our other 4 Guys had the lowest WR from all the 12 players in the game, usually like 40-48%. On the enemy Team, we had 48-55%~ WR players. Basicly that made both teams have an equal WR. Im not sure if that was a coincedence, but maybe they tested something? Im pretty sure that it was rigged Anyway, those games basicly ended in a loss always. 4 extremely bad players just died because they cant angle and cant shot and dont know what objectives are. You cant kill above average players that fast, as they have atleast some brains to migitate damage. And playing 2vs6... almost impossible, especially on T5 (what it was back then). Those were one of the most horrible games ive played, also a reason why i dont play ranked sprint anymore after that, only a couple.

I dont necessarily agree 100% with this one. Belfasts problem is the combination of all gimmicks it has: Smoke + Radar + HE + Concealment module which is for T8+ships. I dont think removing HE would balance Belfast enough. IMO it shouldnt have the conealment module, then it actually might have been fine. Would have taken the stealth radar away from it, so you actually could spot it with a DD. In the end, ive played against good Belfast players, and you can survive against them / kill them. BBs even have the range to shoot into their smoke while Belfast cant reach them in return. True, thats why i pretty much stoped watching his replays. You often dont see good plays - you see stupid stuff, which is not helpful at all.

I mean.... enemies are so retarded, the glue is coming out of every bodyhole. You could probably do the same with other ships too. The CV LITERALLY feeds himself to him, while all he had to do, was sit behind A for easy points win... but NOO MUST RUSH IN GLORIOUS CV! Thats why i dont watch Panzerknacker anymore. Its 99% retarded crap, either the enemies are, or the player itself got away with being stupid and noone punishes it. You cant take anything useful out of that video. The Hindenburg f.e. he could have rammed him, or like, hit 2 torps OR ATLEAST SHOOT HIM?! Also enemies ofc dont shoot in his smoke even tho they dont have anything to shoot anyway. Where do you get enemies like that? If they have nothing else to shoot, they basicly shoot in my smoke all the time regardless of what i play. Or they shoot in my smoke even if they have other targets

Recently i was playing Radar Mino, and enemies pushed hard my way. Asked our Z for Smoke, he provided it. Because i have RPF aswell, i knew the Shima was in my Radar range. Popped the Radar, Z shot it and got a detonation. Was Win-Win for both of us. Doesnt happen often enough tho
