Nah, i think there might be some logic to this: If somewhat capable players are playing Brawls, they cant play randoms/ranked at the same time. Which types of players wont play 1v1s? Griefers, bots, yoloers or lets just call them leachers. In 1v1s, they dont gain anything from "playing" like crap. If they do that in modes with more players, they get carried to wins/rewards. So if you have less decent players, that means the amount of leachers increases in ranked/randoms. And it certainly feels like that. Whether playing myself, watching others play, others telling me about it or watching streams, it felt particulary bad this week. And it started since the 1v1 brawls began. Not saying that its the ultimate truth, but it certainly could make sense...

Well, Cruisers are the shitclass, so we need to make BBs like Cruisers, so iz fine. Remove Cruisers from game GG, one step closer to World of Battleships.

Its just a little less balanced than the other russian BBs, as it actually gets citadelled when showing side

I still cant fathom how you can only hit 1 shell on a CV at 8,5km (thats with D.Alighieri)... compared to that, Orion feels like a sniper. If the other italians are like that aswell, i dont feel like playing them

Kinda needs crawling smoke ontop of it

Well its a TX, and while we know that WG has sold a couple of them for money, i kinda doubt that itll be sold for money again. We need new resource ships (steel, RB or Coal) so i guess itll be one of those. Probably not steel, alltho id think it would fit the steel pattern of ships, but we just had Plymouth and Austin next, so doubtful that we will get yet another steel Cruiser. Maybe RB.... Vampire II or Druid id expect to become steel ships actually (one of those), since they removed Somers. The problem is the armor. It says "decent armor" but that can mean everything. Could be 30mm midsection, or maybe even more. If its overmatchable by BBs tho, the concept is highly questionable as then it would have no staying power. I think speculating at this point makes no sense really. They can just scrap the whole concept anyway, or maybe it doesnt work to begin with.

AFK people dont gain stars.

WG just lost all common sense really... also it got almost like 10km concealment, which is kinda interesting.

So how much game influence should one single person out of 24 players have? How would it be possible that people get a WR of lets say 20%? In randoms, players can hardly go below 40%, its possible yes, f.e. very bad CV players can go towards 30%. In ranked, people can get below 40% easily, but even there going below 30% is not common. Its simply not possible to screw your team so hard if you are only 1 in 12. Same goes for carrying your team, alltho best CV players can get 80% Solo WR.

How did i not see this Also you missed the T7 Monarch with superheal, better concealment (thank god it doesnt have access to concealment module) but no thermonuclear HE. Do we really expect that theyll release a T8 BB with 27mm of armor? Maybe they nerf Bow/stern to 25 and give it 32mm midsection - problem solved. How would a concept of bad armor, torps and radar practically work out? Last time they tried something remotely like that (DoY without heals), they scrapped it.

https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/131 How are all of these ships not completely retarded one way or the other?

So i guess IJN, French, Italian and UK CAs are not heavy Cruisers? Heck you can even overmatch russian CAs upper bow like any other BB can. The only thing you cant overmatch is German and US CA armor. Still enough pen to citadel BBs. Unlike most other Cruisers which are not russian

BB players?

Once had a 60% Thunderer (or Conqueror) player just driving up and down the H-line in spawn Its funny when i supposedly get a good guy on my team, they often suck Or the other one who also had like above 60% WR, and when i checked his stats, it was 3x div carrying him and he was only 50% solo player... and that only because he was playing lowtiers all the time. When he played hightiers solo, he had 45%... and thats how he played really.

I played one game today: - Enemy Izumo straightlines till he dies to 3 BBs - My Friesland shooting the water, getting spotted, loses half his HP. Smokes up, sits in smoke, leaves smoke gets spotted again dies <-- 22k battles 39% WR player !!! (Bot?) - FDG straighlining to a flank, then getting farmed showing flat broadside <-- manages to get less XP than before mentioned Friesland - 2 Enemy DDs getting rushed by a BB (me), missing all but one torp So almost half the players in one ranked game were basicly bot level. Double strike, high caliber, Kraken - what it took to win this game.

Isnt the discount only for premium acc bought with money directly and not for doubloons?

Playing one ranked game... In the end it was basicly 3vs5, Azuma, Kagero and me vs JB, Musa, Alaska and 2 DDs. I kill Musashi with guns, my secondaries started a fire on the JB behind me for a double strike. Azuma dies aswell with the last salvo from Musa. Alaska is beached infront of me, so i can kill it. So its 2vs2 with us holding 2 Caps. Both DDs go into the same cap, i turn around and rush in. I fake a turn, Öland missed all torps. Btw Yugumo smoked itself and started shooting me, while Öland was spotting for him... Then i got close enough to Öland, he shot me, tried to get away but he died. Yugumo in smoke waited with torps till i was kinda close, when he left smoke i immediately turned in and slowed down, took one to the bow and then it was just a matter of killing him. When i got the double strike, i was just stuck in that position. My FDG on the flank suicided, the other flank had nothing but our Musashi. Cant blame him for not holding, he did a decent job there. But i had no way out before, when Alaska and JB where sitting in my broadside, while Musashi was sitting infront of me.

eh, i think the "italian BBs dont deal any damage to DDs"-meme is kinda overrated. Ever shot HE with a german BB? Its not too far off compared to SAP damage. The most important thing against DDs is to hit as much shells as possible, even then BB AP still hurts like a truck, and so does SAP.

Bounces have nothing to do with penetration. Bounces occur, if you cant overmatch the armor when it has a certain angle (30-45° for most AP shells). If caliber/14,3 is bigger than the plating you are hitting, then you can overmatch it. Andrea Doria only has 320mm caliber guns, which can only overmatch 22mm of armor (320/14,3 = 22,3). You will bounce on all BBs except bow/stern from some T5 BBs, and even some Cruisers on T6-7 can bounce your shells (T8 Cruisers can all bounce your shells, except RN CLs)

But BBs need some heavy buffs in the ASW-department, otherwise one teams BBs gets farmed by subs after the DDs are dead... cant have that

Because Cruiser get devstruck by BBs too easily? That happens when BBabies get all their wishes = Cruisers get extinct Result is, getting farmed by torpedosoup

Lacks range (depends on map) generally no tho. 32mm midsection is good up to T7, because Cruisers dont have 32mm HE pen (except for the 203mm ones, which are less numerous down there). In T8-9 MM, CLs can get 32 mm pen if they use IFHE, and the other Cruisers have 203mm guns which can 32mm with HE anyway. And if you are in T8 MM, chances are good that there is a CV, Nelson has basicly 0 AA and if the CV has AP bombs you are just a free snack. Enty can get 5 or 6 cits on one drop, which makes the super heal obsolete.

i guess 10.3 makes sense with the german DD split (unless the split doesnt come with 10.3)
