What will you say, when ships like Alaska, Georgia, Azuma, Yoshino and others will be removed aswell? The only ship, which hasnt been removed is Nelson. And i believe its because, they dont want to introduce another FreeXP ship at that tier. They rather circle FreeXP/Coal ships at T9/10 so they can put them into Xmas containers. Imo the worst offenders are russian BBs right now. And i expect them to be nerfed maybe at the beginning of next year. Kronsthadt is definetely not OP, Alaska is straight up better in my book. Better armor, better citadel protection, better AA, even the guns are better. I dont even think Smolensk is really OP. Bad for the game? Yes, but there are shittons of others aswell. People deal 200-300k damage and they lose. Is that OP? So you can farm BBs with little to no impact on the game... can hardly call that OP. Stalingrad.... well, maybe it has a tad too much going for it. But playing it in Randoms is kinda boring, noone will dare show broadside to you, and they all shoot you in return. Kutuzov, was it too strong back in the days? Yes i believe so. But nowadays i think you could actually reintroduce it. Smoke firing penalty is rough and everything has radar. People can blindfire into smokes aswell. Nikolai will probably stay OP, nothing will change that. But we also have a silver BB at T4 which is OP: Orion So what about other Ships? T-61: Can you actually buy it right now? Dont think so. (actually its in the premium shop but not in the armory) Very strong DD. Same for Z-39 on T7 (but you can still get that one) Not sure about other French DDs, but Jaguar seems to be OP. This thing shits on everything. Ive seen some impressive stuff with Mogador too. The 3 Kamikaze clones - all removed aswell.

And he detonated, so everything is correct

If i want/need to do them (i dont do em every day) The first 2 stages in Coop, then Randoms or Operations for the next 1 (or 4). I try to get atleast 20 per month for the special signals. DId more for Benham and Dreadnought tho, but not for the Minsk camo which was also available this year.

Actually it never occured to me when a ship is moving in a straightline, but happens more frequently when its hard turning. Quite easy to test in a training room. It also seems like, speed doesnt even matter, as i got Pen+Cit once in my Salem from a Yamato while full turning at 1/4 speed

For the captain reset, you have to participate here https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/game-updates/update-087-french-destroyers-part-2/ not sure if that works anymore tho? For the AA skill: Thats interesting?

I guess they know, people used to farm Dynamo. Farming FreeXP now with Research Bureau could be bad for their income maybe On a seperate note: Why did we get Raptor Rescue back then? Clearly we needed another T6 only Operation 3/4 of the last 7 months we have had T6 OPs, absolutely necessary to get another one in there. Why not any of the 4, which would be more unique (dynamo) or atleast a different Tier (7-8)

Pff [edited]you WG

I also use Range mod, so i dont have to take AFT. You can take a lot of captain skills, but you dont have the points. Lets face it: The reload is good enough already imo. Base range is kinda bad, so its either AFT or Range mod. You get 16 / 16,6 with those. 19,2 with both seems overkill to me.

Its only impotant that its number 1 in stats (unless another russian ship is first, then 2nd place is ok aswell). Then its balanzed Alltho im not sure if its really a good ship for CBs? Stalingrad like to have a word with radar and smolensk being relatively squishy.

Atleast there is still a Bogue swimming around in Raptor Rescue I wonder what Tier it is

Oooh, that explains why a Furious could just B*ttf*ck my Amagi for the entire game, and i barely shot down any planes. Luckily, Furious sucks (and he must have been a noob) so he dealt like 1-3k damage per strike. I had like 50+k plane damage and 20 planekills. They just flew back in time before they got shot down Next shitstorm soon™?

Id prefer not to. We would see bowcamping in midtiers aswell, which is imo quite lame. Being stationary is too easy if you cant get punished for it. Pyotr being immune to Bow overmatch is just wrong.

Nothing to see here, only Russian Bias in action. Murmansk more OP than Pyotr? Close call in my book

Pyotr called, he said, his 70+mm bow would like to have a word with you

Just repeat with me: Dynamo will come back, Dynamo will come back, Dynamo will come back I hope for >1 million FreeXP

Didnt they just fix T4 CVs by making them stronger? They have 2 torps per drop now, and more planes... Seen some crazy Hosho games just spamming TBs. On YT one basicly killed a St.Louis 3 mins into the game with one TB Squad AA range like 1,5km dealing 1-2 damage per tick

Basicly yes. But we both know how people are "playing" nowadays I wouldnt attempt playing Radar neptune, because it cant stealth radar. Once spotted, you still need to keep going to get into radar range. With Mino you could possibly turn in advance or atleast angle, if you know where the enemy DD is. The difference i felt with Neptune compared to Mino, people shoot you in smoke even more, and they hit better because you spam so fast. Occasionally i get those Radar Mino games with 140k, if the enemies dont run to the border once i dispose of the DDs. Or DDs are actually capable of surviving my Radar However, you will still have high XP, so even if the Damage is not as high, WR is good and so are the earnings.

I only have an old Neptune video on YT uploaded. But thats how i used to play back then. Havent really touched Neptune in some time. I frequently experience pushing in Radar Mino is something you basicly cant do. But thats the way people play once you kill the DDs. They just keep running away. Gets you wins - but not so good damage. Easier if enemies are semi-aggressive and you can farm them. Just yesterday had a TX only game on Mountain range. Went in, killed enemy Shima, and basicly was GG for me. Ended with 57k damage or so. Got to kill a Smolensk, and a little bit damage on the fleeing BBs, but thats it.

After CV rewööörk wave has gone down, i started to play Mino with Radar again. Started to enjoy it right before the CV rework, but with 1-2 CVs every game in the beginning it felt really bad. So went for Smoke, but now back to Radar Never tried radar Neptune because of the concealment. I think it could work in R5+ ranked, as there are 4-5 DDs every game.

I dont think its limited to IJN BBs. Ive heard, Izumo is better than it used to be because it got buffed so... Might not even be true for every ship. But mostly problem is with Russian Biasboats. They just combine IJN/German BBs and are even better in those areas: Better accuracy (short-midrange) and extremely tanky. Unless you think "broadside bestside", russian BBs are the way to go.

Radar mino is the manly mans Mino Sad thing is, you dispose of the DDs and its GG for you. Had to follow the enemies to A-line today on Mountain range... And the map is already bad for a Radar mino. On the upside, i also put some cits into a Smolensk because i outspot it OP needs to go with the flow. Everyone is whining about Smolensk, and you come here about Mino and Wooster?

Nice T4 sealclubbing with Orion (the game after was horrible tho...) Followed by 2 great T8 games in the end. Amagi was such a weird game... we spawned north were B cap is. Went to A, then C, then back to B and then to D. Our other side didnt play for 15 mins until we arrived back at B. Then they just clubbed everything to death CV tried to tickle me to death, attacked me all game long. Usually 1k-3k damage And Benson FTW. Do you know when you throw your torps, and the BB just turns in perfectly, and you watch his turrets looking at your torps... BOOM which one will break first?

Ofc back then they would have been more OP. Since we have more and more powercreep, now its less broken

Im not sure if they are OP, but imo they represent a certain type of ships, which are bad for the game. Ofc there are others aswell, so its not only those. Arguably it started back when RN CLs were introduced.
