ForlornSailor

The last days ive been following threads more closly then before, and all I can say: ThinderChief, I see you in 9 out of 10 threads talking trash, disagreeing even with your own "arguments", thinking for some reason you represent the mayority of this game and that your position is a godgiven fact and non-discusable in any way. First: you need a reality check. Second: Find out what a forum is for, come back and behave accordingly. Third: If the game was changed so much to your liking and you perform all-so-awesome nowadays (which is obvious for all to see you dont) - why are you 24/7 posting and not actually... playing the game?

After thinking about the new detection rules for a while, I noticed, that BBs now have the ability to stealth-fire. Before I explain a lot, just check the yt-video I made: The reason for this beein possible is easy, once you think about it. Shooting a ship that is hunting you, kinda increases your range, since he is sailing into your shots. It even worked better then expected, in the video Im driving the Texas somewhat in a straight line parallel to the König, trailing a little. When straight hunting, the range of beeing able to stealth-fire increases. Same goes for faster ships. This last update questions many things, for example the Concealment Expert skill for Captains. Cruisers suffer most from it, imo. Why bother, when it doesnt affect my detectebility range when shooting? Then think about the modules. Gun-fire-control-upgrades on DDs. Why would you want to mount them? f.e. Farragut will be spotted as far as 12,6 km with upgrade, 11,4 km without. There can be scenarios, where this matters. Lets say, there is a weak opponent, I dont know, Kirow with 200 Health, sailing at 8 km. Your DD isnt detected (since the 6,6 normal detection). Now there is a 2nd Cruisers full Health @ 12 km. If you decide to gun-kill the Kirow, you will be detected for the time the shells are in the air ( few secs.), Kirow sinks, you are hidden again. With the upgrade on the gun-fire-control, you will stay detected.

I understood it fine, Its exactly what I meant. I even think, you explained it better then the way I was trying to put it into words.

You are right, Havent so much thought about the cruisers in the first place. Just went in the training room with Budyonny against Fuso, was quite funny, it was way easier and you got easy ~5km buffer before the BB could spot me (just gotta hold my guns, ofc). The point of calling it "now available for BBs" was more that it wasnt possible for a BB like this before.

Ya, weird, the thread-moving, thx for the support guys. Wrote a pm to the mod requesting to move it back tho.
