Used to be better. Powercreep + bad Meta and suddenly its not that good anymore. For me personaly, Amagi + NC are simply better. Even back when i played Bismarck (which had a more favourable meta) i felt it was often frustrating to play because of the dispersion. Can only be worse now, when its often a longrange snipefest. Maybe if you get lucky when you are toptier on a map with cover to get close. And then id prefer Massa. Best Secondaries: Massa Tanky + better Dispersion: Vladi Better guns: Amagi and NC. Many people dont like Monarch tho, and ive heard richelieu has bad dispersion... so not sure about them in comparision. They are very squishy tho

How can this Yamato have SE with +400/tier? There is no IJN Captain with improved SE... (only special IJN Captain is Yamamoto, and he doesnt have it)

At what point did the secondary build help you in that specific game? Im pretty sure, the raw damage from secondaries was pretty low. You mostly profitted from the fires you made on that Bismarck, which probably were like 20k. And even then, the game was pretty much won. The biggest profit in that game was, that Bismarck has a little bit faster reload than other BBs.

So CV MUST WIN every time?

Sadly, he lost... we tried this one aswell in Narai, and it was a loss

Maybe they should give rewards for completing (5 stars) an Operation several times. Could give better rewards, like for 10x 5 stars you get x, next at 25 / 50 / 100 even.

I shmell torpshoup Seen some hilarious games with it on streams. Btw am i premium noob now? My first T9 DD and its a premium. Also, i have equal amount of premium T9/10 ships as silver ones

Still depends how the ship performs on average. You can get good results if a ship fits your playstyle. Id still say, that you can get better results with NC and with less effort aswell. Its guns are more accurate and they have more overmatch capabilities (US/KM CAs f.e.).

Usually you can use AP tho. Had one game so far where i got completely locked out of using AP... that sucks, but always remember, Alaska has improved AP angles

I do 2k base all the time in random Narais

Friesland

Premium ships make more credits if thats what you are after.

Finaly...

If i need more skill to get mediocre results, then i would say the ship is actually bad. A hard to play ship should get very good results, as its already harder to master than the others. The easier it is to perform in a ship, the lower the results should be. F.e. been playing Baltimore lately, and i think its a good ship, because it can deliver good results if you know when to use AP, which BB can overmatch your armor and what not. But make a wrong move and you can get easily punished.

Should be renamed Tankimore The DoY was rushing straight into B, while i was behind the island. I was a bit afraid if he would shoot AP... you can guess tho So i delivered some 8k AP volleys into his side. Then i went to the Scharnhorst hiding in the back, bowtanking him aswell

You can keep shooting HE, like that Yamato did. Ill come in and show AP to you

This... I made a drive-by on a Kremlin in my Massa, and i got 1 Cita and 8 Pens... yeah right I think one time i got 2 cits on a Soyuz so far, every other time it was always 1 Cita.

Ive been saying this all the time. If Kremlin would be a Steel ship.. boy oh boy, the salt would have made the forums uninhabitable Meeting a russian BB bowtanking -> i go somewhere else. No point in shooting it. However, its not limited to Kremlin, some others are as bad (maybe even worse - T5 in particular)

Is the mission live at 4am? Cant really tell, but the news said "48 out of 50", and that would mean, it ends on Sunday.

Got a nice Narai game after all. Fiji / Lyon - cant go wrong there, usually 300+k damage Funny thing, before entering the harbour, one of our teammates started pinging my position because i turned towards the CV (was the only one there). I asked, why he pings me, answer "Byebye convoi". I was like "WTF why you ping me, if 3 !!! ships are attacking the unarmed transport ships (Hood, NO and Abruzzi (the one who pinged me)). Clearly my fault, i should have taken 2 ships into the OPs and done all myself

Basicly what i concluded in the first 2 ranked sprint seasons. We played with Forlornsailor division, and liteally all but 3-4 games were: - we 2 highest WR / the other 4 lowest WR. - Enemy team mostly >50% WR, usally only 1-2 below 50% - So in the end, both teams had roughly equal WR. Despite having 2 players with >60% WR, our average teamWR was often <50% with 6 players only!! I still believe, WG tested some kinda MM back then. Could be implemented - who knows. But playing 3x division with >62% feels much worse than when i play division with sub 60% players.... go figure.

Bad day today... 3 ok-ish games (Leander, Benson and Z-39), 2 horrible games with Kutu and Baltimore But first step done, sunday i get the Benham Likelyhood of me playing Hill: Somewhere at around 0 tho

Pushing is not only a decision of Hydro or not. You can push in other BBs too. When i delete Cruisers faster, pushing gets easier as they cant burn me down.

Great stats in a ship doesnt mean that it cant be worst ship in its tier. Ive better stats in all my other T8 BBs... Why play Bismarck?

Still doesnt change the possibility, that the other T8 BBs are better? I played the Bismarck back when i was not as good a player, but also the Meta was better for german BBs. So i guess it evens out. NC is better than Bismarck any day. And Massa has better secondaries.
