Yup. I guess I would be (unless you are making something up). Then again - what does this tell us about your level of knowledge?

Operating at closer range is easy for Conq anyway, cuz of the superb concealment. The thing is rather this: You could focus on one area (heal, damage taken, HE etc) like we see here in this thread. And for each of those you can find arguments why its good and bad for the Conq at the same time. But when you take all into conclusion, you get a ship / a line, that is just our of sync with his competetitors. If it were up to me - I´d seriously nerf the concealment. IJN BB concealment sounds fine. I had a Lion once down to 4k with my Donskoi - he stopped shooting, slipped out of detection, just to come back with ~40k HP. That would be my full HP. Just wrong. Any other BB would have been dead, cuz he would have no chance to escape. btw about the T4 Orion beeing super OP - this has already been creeped down, the haydays are over. Giulio Cesare and now the PADDs put the Orion in place. Talking about powercreep. But the next stuff to creep the PADDs is already in the making so get ready for the next round (with forum threads like this again - well first we will see all the PADD whine soon).

Yep. And it shows by reading your posts.

Seems like you dont know much about how connections to a server work. thanks for proving my point.

Post like yours doesnt really help. You can be fine and it can still be an issue on the serverside. Using this connection for gaming for a decade, never had problems with one specific game but having it with wows. If there is a problem on the client side, you can reproduce it and it will show. Today so laggy, that I somestimes stop in the water, then speedrush ahead back in position. Its like a wlan-connection. Looks like a bandwith / maximum connection problem on WG side. Much like with the forums lately.

Exactly this. I had 2 sacks of potaotoes first (including a Fiji, that said, he is going back to HEAL (while at 25k), leaving me alone with the Raptor-group - which killed me. So: 0 stars - 0 stars - 5 stars in game 3 (which felt super easy cuz of awesome team.) Ships to pick: Scharnhorst, Fiji, Belfast. Those are the gamechangers imo.

Dont you think, him having 40% WR in T10 BB rather proves his point? That he keeps loosing cuz there is an OP ship around? These statarguments are utterly stupid cuz they cant bite you in your behind pretty quick. There is always 2 sides of a coin. What are you ppl talking about? Must be a different game. First: teamwork in wows? big lol. Second: RN BBs repair AP damage BETTER then any other BB... BETTER!!! So what is this talk about "AP is so uber awesome against RN BB" - @Exocet6951 threw the question at you guys, and you failed to answer it. The combination of Zombie-heal + Cruiser-detectability + Idiot-proof-HE + no citadell is absolutly stupid. And you dont need to be a superunicom or have a minimum of 20,000 games in Conqueror yourself to make a statement like this. Anyone argueing against this has either no clue about the game or is abusing this line himself and thus afraid of it beeing nerfed.

True. Its much worse in many other games.

You think about the Torpedosoup but then you realize.... it doesnt matter

Skill issue. Nothing to do with what is discusses here. The fact that you mention it, kinda proves, its not a common thing. Again, an outside factor. What if the T10 cruiser is behind an island and shooting the T8 BB setting millions of fires? Why is it ok to punish the T8 BB extra heavy? And why do you suddenly make an argument out of it, when you switch the Tiers? Works from both ways you know.

Ive come to this conclusion aswell. Or you play early in the day, then I get also good matchmaking on T8. Deja-vu here. Ive had the exact same thing happening to me once. Some guy torps my Fiji in smoke, insults me for "rushing in his torps" - so ill happily let him turn red & die from flooding dmg. Just so that a Gneisenau starts shooting at me because im a "fkkin teamkiller who kills teammates with torpedos" ??? Normal level of insanity in this game I guess... you can only wonder....

Totaly ignoring the fact, that each salvo on the Montana will take out several thousand health of the Chapayev.... You really want to tell us, in a direct 1vs1 Chapayev vs Montana the Chapa would win... right... So now the Montana also has no chance against the NC? So basicly the Montana is the biggest XP Pinata in the game - Where does it end? btw- following your logic: Why isnt the Zao the biggest killer in the game? Can you explain this to me? According to your logic, he should be as of now.

Im not sure if you knew, but PADD hit everything exept DDs.

Ofc they are not meant to be equal, and they are not. And certainly a balancing in firechance wouldnt change that much. But in a 1 vs 1 situation it might make things easier. And in a 1vs1, like 2 last standing ships, the difference should be skill, not different Tier, as much as possible. Oh I wish (for many reasons) that WG would leave me with a configfile or similar for the trainingroom to tweak any setting I like - We could actually test this very setup with an equal HE-setting. But since we cant, this is very much speculating. The Des Moines has such a high rate of fire, that I tend to say, I would be surprised if the Des Moines has less then ~65% Health left, by the time the NO sinks. Fuso vs Amagi - they are certainly not shooting HE at each other right now, dont u think? Then why does Amagi have the upper hand? Cuz its the better ship. Again, that change wouldnt make any impact on this in reality. Oh I disagree. Not with the fact, that due to the higher Health, it will suffer more dmg through a fire in raw numbers. Let me give you an quite drastic example to show it: Cruiser A has 10.000 HP. Loses 10% with a fire = 1000 Damage = standing with 9.000 HP Cruiser B has 100.000 HP. Loses 10% with a fire = 10.000 Damage = standing with 90.000 HP. Cruiser B is still in a better position for the rest of the game against any other target. Given, both would suffer 0 direct damage and only firedamage, they would die in the same second.

Not sure if its me or how the game changed. These days, I cant get the Shchors (had to look it up, how to spell it :p) to work. It gets citadelled from everything and everywhere. Budyonny is the far better ship with the better matchmaking on top of that. I managed a get a higher avg dmg with Budyonny aswell. I still have the Shchors in port (I hardly sell any ship, Bellerophon might be the first I actually sold), but im concidering of trashing her.

@Migulaitor Pretty much like the BB using Radar "WHO IS THE CA NOW EH" or the BB shooting down all planes from the sky in an instand "WHO IS THE CV NOW EH" or the BB using Hydro to spot and dodge all the torps "WHOS THE CL NOW EH" [continue with other gadgets, that once where assigned to a certain class but got put on BBs just to make Mr. Derpi Derpi have fun while drooling on the floor].

That @ColorsOfRainbows is quite funny. Gets triggered by something, that is targeting nobody specfic. Then you wonder, why is he so offended ... maybe... there lies truth within the original statement eh. But the best part is, that he starts insulting the OP personally. I wonder, @ColorsOfRainbows, if you understand, that you are no better then the OP, on the opposite, you are way worse...

First and last game of the day for me. Im done tanking Bismarcks, Kurfürsts and Friedrich der Große, just so @DFens_666 can run around them grabbind free XP while drinking tea. And fun fact from the same game: that moment, when you realize, the Neptune did more Fire-Damage then your HE-Spaming Donskoi. @Butterdoll what did you say earlier about RN CLs? and Fires?

thats why I marked those 2, its anything but "for ages" to me. I personally find Torps on BBs stupid. Catering to the broadmass of brainless players, that want everything in one ship. Writing this, I however had an idea: BBs should have deepwatertorps, now that they are in game. Nothing more stupid then a BB torping a DD, that was risking his life in a rush.

Good points, I fully support those suggestions!

umm.... define "for ages" for me plz? Also, the historically-card, besides beeing bs always, doesnt hold up, since many cruisers, which had torps, dont have them in wows. Where is you logic now.... you forgot radar.

Eeh yea... Why dont we take AP-shells from the Yamato. So there is a reason why not to play Yamato then right? Or we take Torpedos away from IJN DDs. Man is that a shitty line. Imagine how they would do against other DDs? Dont play IJN DDs cuz without torps they are derp. Or lets remove Planes from US CVs! Man, imagine a US CV with 0 planes against IJN CV. So yea, dont play US CVs cuz without planes they wouldnt stand a chance against IJN CVs. Do you even read yourself before posting, one must ask?

So if a T8 ship which has the same fire chance as a T10 ship would - because of this - turn into... an unstoppable juggernaut? Are you serious? So if the Des Moines would have the same fire starting potential as the New Orleans - the New Orleans would wipe the floor with the DM? There is literally nothing a DM could do, but to try and stop the fires with his own tears! New Orleans... an unstoppable juggernaut... gotta let that sink in...

I was trying to escape the "avarage players" by playing the weekly operation - just to be paired with "sub-avarage players". But there is something positive about this, too. First "Will to Win" medal. So yea, thx noobs, this is to you!

Some of the best games ever I had with Leander & Fiji. They also have the potential to carry or turn a game, the other lines lack that ability imo. But others are right, when they say, RN CLs start to shine on T6. Its even worse then that, its night and day coming from Emerald and going to Leander. Also, it depends, where do you see yourself "staying" so to say. Do you want to play T10 once you are done with grinding or are you happy with T8 / T7, w/e. T8 Chapayev is fun with a decent captain. T7 nothing (of those 3 options) beats Fiji. T10 Minotaur is a monster with crazy AA but one wrong move and you are done. But the Des Moines is superb also. Moskva... istn really a CL anymore and in the current meta not something I like to play tbh.
