If they reduce reload, they will [edited]with the dispersion. They might do it anyway. 380mm guns with Cruiser dispersion WILL be OP imo.

Well, i didnt consider the fighter skill, was only comparing BFT/AFT/M-AA. AFT is really horseshit, i would never take it for AA anymore. BFT is ok, but M-AA is better, especially if you have good AA to begin with (and defAA). Just need to be able to switch the sector in time if the CV is attacking you. And M-AA increases DPS, so cant dodge that

I think SSE is a waste of 2 points... RPF could make sense, but imo more if you would play Radar mino. And radar mino with that amount of CVs simply isnt that good. I went back to smoke mino. Vigilance i personaly dont like, and you should be running hydro when in smoke. But more of a personal thing. JoaT is good. Maybe Manual AA? SE for meme build

Same here By looking at my results, i should be playing more IF that would be an indicator for having fun Reality is, have been playing like once a week 6-7 battles... When CBs are over, im planning to take a break, since its summer anyway, and got enough other stuff to do.

So, if you are getting fed up by being sacrificed, and stop play the game what will eventually happen

Estime the size of the gray area on the little ship icon on the left bottom corner of the screen. But some ships have better repair party, so they can heal more with one heal than others (f.e. Minotaur or Conqueror). I believe there are mods out there, which can show that... but dont use em, so not 100% sure (alltho ive heard about it). However, if the gray area is ~ 1/6 of the size, you can easily start your repair party. One standard repair party can heal maximum of 14% from your max HP.

Is EZ: Dont play solo But tbh, i really feel, division play is 100 times more fun than playing solo. I dont see a reason to play solo. If i dont have others to play, then i would rather pick another game... Also you can play ships, which might be not soooo good in the current meta, and still get your wins.

Ive been thinking about this one: Most of the time, standard duration from DefAA is too long, so i press P to force it on CD. The CV is so fast back attacking you, that having it run to the end makes it it more likely that its still on CD. So why have +20% more duration in the first place? Arguably, it becomes worse than without the mod, as it prolongs the time till i can have DefAA ready again. @MrConway @Crysantos What is WG thinking about this?

Had a Neustra on the enemy team today... the amount of firepower you need to bring that sucker down is insane I can see people buying it, because its hard to kill, unless you really go full retard.

True, i was wondering about that *needs map_awareness_patch.exe* So true Well, thats the problem: MM doesnt always have enough very good players around. So to balance them, they need to get the worse players in return. And ofc, there are games without unicum players in there aswell... but for the individual player that doesnt mean too much. A 3x division with strong ships and players, who can play very well together are hard to balance out just with what you get in the queue. You need an extra bad team to lose.

Ive pretty much stopped playing solo, yeah. Majority of those games are over 2 years ago. Playing in divisions is just more fun (and better for your sanity ) Had a baltimore game today on Haven, and i was sitting close to the Island of C-cap. And from everywhere, enemies tried to shoot me. I was like "Why the [edited]are they shooting me" and Forlornsailor said: Well, look at the map, you are the only one spotted. When i looked at the map, they were all hugging the island even more than i did

I wanna say yes Depends from which side you are coming from?

#Cruisermain Baltimore loss really sad. Would have gotten the Ranger soon (10k left). But if your team is dieing so fast, and always sitting behing cover... But when it comes down to getting kills, ofc then they are there to grab it from you Knew right from the start, that it wont be easy. XTREM and T_I_W. we were down on points all game, and our 2 T8 BBs were casually floating around, leaving me alone vs the NC and running away from it And that was kinda hard work with that stupid weather thingy Rushed a Mino in smoke, proxy spotted him and nomnom Neustrashimy needs to be renamed to Zombieshimy... totaly insane. Salem and me alone gave him >30k!

I suspect a TX split like RU BBs. "Thunderer" 457s, Conqueror 419s.

How would it be fun, that basicly every single game i play, i would get the worst players avaible on my team? If you ever check the players present in a game, you hardly see ever any other very good players around. Most of them are around 45-52%. So if you play a 3x division with >60% Players, you can ensure, that the other 9 players are basicly <47%, while the enemy team gets everything in between to balance it out. Just horrible

Question is: Who should be the one getting "stuck" in the queue? Afterall it could mean, one of them gets to be toptier, while the others are forced to be lowtier, just because you picked 2 radarships (or someone else didnt pick radarships) Just saying, im not against your proposal, but for ships, which can run Radar or smoke, it might give away the surprise moment of them having radar instead of smoke. WG also said, having more/less DDs didnt make any difference... but they changed it anyway. So there is always hope

The only thing, what MM could have done, would be to swap Neptune and Kronshtadt... 99% of the time, divisions are the fault of every uneven radar distribution. And there is no real option to change that, unless you give one team 2 or more divisions than the other... which will ofc trigger many people too

Why would you bowtank in any other BC tho? Stalingrad has huge citadel, but strong lower bow/plating/deck armor. So it best option is to sit somewhere, protecting one side by an island. The same tactic in any other BC would result in punishment by BBs or HE spammers even. Unless the german BC would have same armor (which i doubt as it would receive some sort of turtleback), it would benefit more from roaming around, using all its turrets. I think, Sigma is not the biggest issue on Stalingrad. It has railguns, with a bit better AP angles, but also shorter fuse AP and the shells need less armor to arm. Those characteristics ensuse, that you get more citadels on Cruisers, and more pens on thin armor.

Even protecting your own CV would make sense in that case I mean, i try to do it anyway, but most people throw their CVs under the bus.

My thinking aswell, thats why i opened a thread couple of days ago (need to get back to that, but no time so far). Problem i see is, that any action, which relies on the CV player to do anything, will not achieve the result you are hoping for. Majority of CV players would simply smoke their own CV, ignoring other teammates. Small amount of CV players might randomly drop some smoke, which potentially might even benefit the enemy. And even less players might even have the ability to understand, which ship would benefit from a smoke screen in the first place (then they still need to fly their, reducing their own damage output). My idea was, that surface ships get extra, plane-based consumables when a CV is in the game, which they can activate themselves. No need for the CV player to do anything, and it would feel like a CV being in the game is giving me a benefit.

People are constanly crying, how OP Stalingrad is. And most of the time, its only using his front guns (that would be 6 too). So having a Cruiser with bigger guns, better reload AND better dispersion would be truely OP. 6 Guns doesnt matter - what matters is, how often you can make them count. And 380mm guns also bring a considerable increase in penetration with them. You could wreck Cruisers literally from any angle (except US/German CAs) and citadel lots of BBs reliably aswell.

Totaly OP That would be a Bismarck on steroids...

... while having Cruiser armor. Which is imo something which will not work properly. BB gun reload with Cruiser armor would mean, the Dispersion would need to be really awesome, especially if you have few barrels to begin with. And i cant see WG going down that route.

I remember a cocky Neptune who thought, he could show broadside to my Fiji

Maybe Conqueror / Thunderer split because of gun caliber. Same as Kreml / Slava split.
