Was a stream today. https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/31444-some-interesting-info-around-the-world/?do=findComment&comment=2817212

Buffs incomming: (they say because of "our feedback") - Colorado 1,9 sigma > 2,0 Sigma - Kiev gets Repair party same slot as Smoke (2 charges Premium) - Ognevoi Repair party in extra slot (2 charges premium) - Udaloi Repair party in extra slot (2 charges premium) - Nagato gets 2 sec reload buff (32 -> 30 sec) - Mahan gets reload buff (not sure how much, i started watching late) - Sims gets longer range torps (same as above) - Kii +1 sec reload buff (31 -> 30 sec) and torps 6 -> 10km, speed -1 kt (63 >62) and damage up 14.700 -> 17.233 - Izumo 1,8 -> 2,0 Sigma

Atleast you were allowed to play for 20 minutes. I had to try my best to get the most out of ~5 mins of playing (match over after 6:56 ! ). Enemy team simply didnt do much. I mean, considering the time the result aint bad... but still Musashi broadside -> 1 cita -> took all torps from our division Black. DM reversed broadside -> 1 Cita -> took YY torps Neptune halfdead spots me, tries to hide behind island + smoke -> 1 cita dead. My game in a nutshell (+23k on a Republique who was >20km away from me despite me being in the center of the map in B cap)

Well, the discussion i had with Seiranko before was mostly about OPs/Raptor Rescue. And i think its a good ship compared to the silver ships. Since PEF can be obtained by f2p, i might aswell compare it to silver ships. PEF isnt bad in OPs because Mutsu. I cant get Mutsu 4 free, nor would i buy it to play OPs with it. Same reason i wouldnt buy PEF. Im not really sure if i would buy any T6 premium ship which isnt borderline OP (T-61 anyone) because of it being midtier. I think i mentioned it earlier: I rather feel that being a mediocre T6 ship makes CCs/testers say "dont buy it". There is not a good enough reason to buy it - doesnt mean its bad tho.

Ok, forgot about Normandie... dont have it yet tho. (I really dont grind much ) Personaly i wouldnt buy it either. But 4 free its an ok ship imo.

Because i dont have Mutsu? Also cant get Mutsu for free. I can play QE/Bayern/NM/Fuso - all of them are slower than PEF. And usually QE is my 2nd favorite choice becuase of its sAP, good accuracy and overmatch. PEF while a premium, can still be achieved by playing. So its like a silver ship. If someone doesnt spend money, he can still get PEF and have a better ship for OPs. Also you can use a good captain from a higher tier ship, unlike on silver ships.

I use the speed to get into their broadside. Broadside citadel shots are always better than angled penetrations. First hits better and deals more damage, the latter is always a gamble on how many damage you deal.

Oh i understand the difference, Gneisenau is my most accurate T7 BB aswell But since someone claims, PEF is inaccurate (even at close range - his words) and you look at his Hitratio, then the claim is questionable at best. I feel its actually quite nice atleast in Raptor Rescue (not sure about the others) Had my damage record in it i think, most certainly for BBs. 2nd point: Well, same goes for NM and Fuso tho. Deck armor of all 3 is too much for any T6 BB actually. And shooting broadside against Bots that have specific paths sould be easy imo. Speed and maneuvrability are good and so are the secondaries. I attacked the 2 DDs in the middle of the map several times, and more often dodged all torps and killed the DDs. Its harder with other BBs, but easier with Cruisers ofc. Slow BBs can even lack the speed to be upfront, but the speed enables you to fight the CV and get back into the game, if needed. Also i like to go brawling against the BBs and [edited]em up close - the pen is good enough there

Nah its ok, was meant as a joke I was turning my turrets away because he was burning down from my fire and i was thinking i get the kill

WEll, hearing Flambass f.e. he seems like he is pissy that it got nerfed after the initial tests? Should we refer to the video where is says PEF is garbage? - First salvo he misses the shot because his aim is off - he blaims the ship? Ok so take shotgun Fuso/NM for retard citadel i guess Make america retard dispersion great again ! - His second salvo devastated the Algerie - should be without lock on dispersion, but i doubt that myself. Dispersion is too accurate (i blame the lock on bug, which seem to make up for weird salvos in both ways) He complains getting only overpen on Cruisers at the beginning - yet gets multiple citadels on them anyway I guess Flambass doesnt know much about AP penetration and fuse time / armor thresholds to arm the shell ? The bigger the caliber, the more likely it gets to overpen a soft target. Cruisers at that tier have like 10-16mm plating. If you dont hit the citadel armor, you simply will overpen them broadside. This isnt limited to PEF but to all BBs. His point is basicly, if PEF has to fight angled targets it sucks. Basicly you could say the same about Stalingrad

Why wouldnt it be fun to play division with your friends? While winning most of the time ontop? Yesterday evening we played 5 games 3x Div and basicly every game was lots of fun for us. (i got pissed in the last game with KGV tho ) Losing even when you put your best effort in is not fun, you say that yourself. I agree that roflstomps arent much fun either way, but a win is atleast something. And if you play 3x div those loses will be victories most of the time, and they will be hard fought = fun

1. Look for 2 like-minded, similiar skilled players and play 3x division ONLY 2. Take BB/CA/DD or CV + some AA ships (if the CV player is unicum, otherwise stick to the first setup) 3. Roflstomp the enemy most of the time or in case your team is assorted insane asylum group you can have a tight match which you probably can still win 4. Have *insert WR here* depending on how good you can carry. 5. Profit?

edit: forum is acting up

I think this sounds most reasonable. Maybe we can have 7-10 days free respec after the patch, and if they only balance with every new update, they could give 1 free respec with each update again, so long till they are finished balancing.

Could have had multiple reasons: Are you sure the CV itself was still alive? Maybe it was only the plane left and it was just circling around. Or maybe he already did use his torps, and he tried to permaspot the DD that one of his teammates would shoot the DD to reset him.

Hitrate: QE: 26.22 % NM: 25.97 % PEF: 36.17 % Warspite: 20.53 % Normandie: 24.22 % These are your numbers btw Even if you compate the 8vs12 gun ships, you hit ~3 shells per salvo. So its similiar to NM/Normandie, but much better than your QE/Warspite (1,6-2 hits per salvo!) ninjaed by @veslingr

GK guns performing well today 2 Consecutive salvos First saw the Salem beaching (46k right there) then DM decided to show full broadside for another 30k. Almost got nervous since he was going behind an island

Met @khiren in his Bismarck today You stole my Amagi kill

Just got one today Only made a screenshot because it was so useless... btw, never got a ship out of SC - and i feel ive been rather lucky with em (but i take TYL often)

I can probably get one screenshot from every game i play these days Candidate for moron of the year-award: Took a spotted torpedo, which Forlornsailor managed to dodge - in a edited BB He just blindly and willingly accepted his faith... not sure if i should laugh or cry tho.

That shows nothing. Show us what shells hit you. Did you get shot at with AP? with Harugumo there is still a chance that its BB AP, and with Yamato it could straight up be AP.

Its easy actually: Look at midtier BBs. Do they camp bow on the entire game...? No, simply because they "cant". Well, some cases it would work some dont. But there is also the difference, that hightier BBs tend to have majority of the firepower in the front (66% f.e.) while on midtiers they usually dont. Imo if every BB could overmatch one another, BB gameplay would be less stale. Sitting duck targets are easy to hit, but if you basicly cant receive damage, why not do it? Well, CV rework is imminent right now anyway, and we will have to see what/how it will change. What ive observed so far: BBs are running back into their spawn after the BB AP change to DDs. BBs sitting in the back dont get punished easily... so people "adapt" but the wrong way

Its not a bug - its a feature

The problem is you are talking about Cruisers basicly here, why not talk about BBs sitting bow on basicly the entire game unharmed, because they can? A Cruiser in the open is much more vulnerable, and as i said, not every Cruiser is made for kiting/roaming in the open. Kinda makes sense that there have to be some difference between those nations - why grind other lines if they are basicly the same? You want to know an easy way to make the game less passive? Limit amount of BBs to 3. Cruisers should be the class which is represented the most, currently its BBs with basicly 5/side every game. DDs were afraid of getting BB blapped across the map - BB AP got changed. Im not totaly favoring that change, as imo the game got more boring because of it. But there are still 5 BBs per side, and they are shooting Cruisers even more than before. Which makes Cruisers hide somewhere, that they wont outright die within the first 5 minutes of playing.
