Why did you write No, when you meant Yes? As i literally stated "different mechanic for DD / CV torps" Well, ofc that means surface ships in general, but the flooding change is 99% relevant for DDs, since BBs have such a limited torp range that a point blank torprush should just kill the enemy target.

Is there maybe a bug with the ship dieing which had RPF skilled? I highly doubt that those ships in the screens would use RPF (alltho you never know ofc). Like, a DD has RPF, and dies somewhere. And you are the closest ship to the last position of the dead DD, then you get a located sign? Imo that might make more sense than being the wrong located target.

I dont use any mods, and im pretty sure the same thing happened to me. Because i didnt expect a bug, i didnt give it more thought tho...

You could post a replay or 2 if you want some advice on how to play it.

Has a bit higher citadel than other BBs, but its not more vulnerable if properly angled. I liked NC a lot, guns are super. You can just bowtank every BB except Musashi and Yamato. Iowa is like Missouri basicly (not sure if you have that), you will as likely be citadelled as in NC i think. (maybe it sits a bit lower, not 100% sure on that one) Montanas Citadel sits a bit lower, and guns are quite good too.

Thats the fun about RNG mechanics: They always [edited]you in the [edited] Literally every first CV torp causes a flooding to me... not to mention every first HE shell I remember one time playing BB not too long ago: - There is a DD in the cap, Radar div Cruiser uses Radar - Ah crap he is moving behind an Island - *DD gets one shot of because he is super unicum and knows he can shoot his guns* - Me Full Anti-fire build ofc

Oh, that makes a lot of sense why i was Located once while it was literally impossible for me to be the closest. Was also in Space battles. So might be a problem there.

Could you add a 3rd option to the first question? Like a middleground. New floods are questionable, while old floods are too strong with the new CVs imo. Or you just need a different mechanic for DDs and CV torps. As for more flooding damage: Its a joke. Ive received more flooding damage because a couple of times i just didnt give a about it. Says how useless it really is, like 20 secs on a BB with BoS/Module/Flag is hardly bad at all. At the same time, i just recently got a perfect permaflood on an Ibuki... got like 3700 damage All the flooding damage is on the Ibuki (maybe one tick on the Nelson, not sure about that)

I wouldnt go for Vigilance (basicly i never do, only in CBs ive taken it so far), DDs are better off with other skills (Survivability Expert f.e.) If you angle away before the torps will reach you, you should be able to dodge them. And sitting in smoke while being in a cap is no-no anyway, because you will attract torps and Radar. Its basicly a "Hello, here am I"-sign. I go for Rudder shift, unless the DD already has very good rudder shift time. For example on US DDs i use acceleration, because they have <3 sec rudder shift from the get go. Better rudder shift will make it easier for you to dodge the torps, and sitting somewhere while something is torping you is not a situation you should be in. While getting randomly torped (even when you are not targeted), is something you can hardly ever avoid, so you want to be able to dodge them.

Thats why many clans field multi Henri setup these days... like in KotS When CVs make it into CBs, Stalingrad might become a bad pick actually.

Good question... will we not get individual rewards anymore by playing CBs? Everything goes to the Treasury or not? Or can you put something in, and someone else can receive it?

I dont think there are too many AA specced Cruisers on low-midtier, mostly because they dont have the cptn points (or the AA simply sucks to begin with). Demanding, DDs need nerfs because no Cruiser is hunting them, is rediculous. There is no teamwork, dont rely on your team to do anything. We dont even know, if the OP himself is shootin at DDs with his BB? Maybe he thinks, he doesnt have to... which would be wrong again. Thats why, blaming others and demanding nerfs/buffs wont help him one bit. When he realizes, he has to get better himself (which includes playing DDs and Cruisers), and asks for help by providing replays, then he will get helpful feedback from the people here.

Maaaaybe if he woudlnt have come here saying "DDs at midtiers are OP, Cruisers are noobs and have to be played this way (while he himself has never actually played Cruisers)" and instead would have asked "Im dieing too easily while playing BB, especially to DDs who sneak up on me, what can i do?" the response would have been different, dont you think? Look for people who did exactly the latter one, they got constructice critizism, never being insulted tho, and they actually became better players themselves. OP has no intention to become better, he just blames everybody else.

5 Games in Cruisers - nuff said. But i guess that shows how a Big Boat (BB/CV) player sees the smaller (DD/CL) ships -> they are mere garbage who are there to protect the big ships from dieing, by being some kinda roadblock for the enemy And ofc to have something to shoot at Really disgusting

Have you like, played Cruisers on that tier? Radar starts only at T7 for Premium ships only, so lets get that out first. Hydro has a range of 4km shipdetection/3km torpdetection on those tiers except german Cruisers, which have better Hydro. Ontop of that, Cruisers on those tiers are floating citadels without any armor, they can even overmatch each others bow with AP in certain cases. And the detection is nothing to brag about either... If you think, Cruisers have nothing better to do than hunt DDs, then you need a reality check inform of playing them yourself. This is a joke what you are saying. The only problem are the premium DDs Kamikaze, Kamikaze R and Fujin, because they have super torps combined with good stealth.

Yes, and you can easily check that -> https://wows-numbers.com/de/ranking/type,div3/?p=545 Check any of those, f.e. 28,4% 3x division WR, but 41,67% Solo WR.

Not sure if id call that a weakness if you just play with your friends, who also happen to be good in the game Also, the other 9 player get a win out of that too so... I mean, ofc they could make 2 modes, one solo only the other with divisions. But in the end, i think it would increase the waiting time for divisions so much that it would be impossible to play, especially outside the peak hours.

Went a bit sealclubbing again But that was really tight. We were like 500 points down with 3 mins to go, but the enemies had only one CV left.

Meh? Seems kinda squishy to me Damage he dealt to me was mostly insignificant too.

The reason why i think, that it would have been less worse is, if there would have been more RTS CV players, naturally you would have more bad/average/good players, so it wouldnt have been a Unicum vs potato match as often. My biggest problem with RTS CVs were the bad players... i didnt mind the good ones. The bad ones just ruined your game much harder than a good CV (kinda)

Muuh damage #1 Muuh damage #2 185k and no kills? Makes you do this -> 18km blindshot on a DD And me r**ing the Georgia, but Iowa joinked my Kill

Honestly? I think it would have been better than this now... I always thought, CVs should be around more so people would have a reason to skill for AA and use DefAA. But now WG kinda f*cked it up

Today i would vote "Much worse", while with RTS CVs i prolly would have voted Neutral.

Or your own CV might have stopped him from doing that You are really comparing apples and oranges here. I dont think the Midway dealt only 60k damage in the game. Most likely took him 3~4 minutes to deal that damage? 25 Bombs would mean, he had to come back atleast once with a new squad. For the ability to tank damage: So him angling properly is bad, and that the enemies are too dumb to either shoot the right spot or use the correct ammo is also what makes BBs OP? Btw, Yamato has a big citadel, id call that her major flaw. If not, then low AA would only matter when a CV is in the game, would be a questionable downside

Lucky you T10 BB vs T8 CV - No plane kill - double engine damage - triple flooding You cant. Him protecting you with Fighters is a) mostly useless and b) takes too much time. He is better off trying to deal more damage to the enemy ships than protecting you with AA.
