MAin guns have good range, 25 km 1.8 sigma / 292 m dispersion. Good secondaries (or at least decent 7.35 km stock) decent AA (does it matter) no armour apart from vitals and turrets (32mm all over) And yes the speedboost It is one of them ships that has a couple of gimmicks but not the full package, if you can play around the 32mm and not burn down u may well rush a cruiser or two and maybe even surprise some DD with the secondaries It is a fragile ship but bow in and charging at 36.3 kn (speedboost and speedflag and all guns blazing) it is magnificent and you will for sure sink something

Long time since I played it grinding for the Alsace Decent enough BB for me at the time Has it got worse ?

2344 players in eu (wows stats and numbers) dunno if that is all the Enterprises or if that is just the end of their rank list The list also only covers players in random I "won" mine in a christmas box, only played it in coop to knock off snowflakes so I am not on the list

So where this come from ? Its a premium and I am pretty sure I didn´t buy it

I hate CV:s so reading about how to get them aint on my agenda You are right it is a tier 4 (didn´t look all that closely)

Waterline for close range up to maybe 10km here is a pen chart https://wowsft.com/arty U can still get Cits on light cruisers at extreme range with AP and plunging fire (However 152mm HE with IHFE will give continuous results) IHFE is arguably good for all 152 mm cruisers and Mogami IHFE or not by Littlewhitemouse https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/213359-ifhe-all-night-long/ Dont let them aim at u for too long, getting hit is bad, priority taget is a usefull skill First target is always DD:s Of course delete broadside lightly armoured targets if u get a chance Dont let CA:s shoot at u if u are in a CL.. Many have improved pen.

This topic pops up like every week

Topic: Game mechanics Why do we see lineups of enemy team pre battle ? Super spies ? It is very un realistic (yeah yeah its a game)

True Take a Benham into coop and it aint much of a problem to get 10+ torp hits in the 5 minutes the game lasts Come to think of it it aint hard to get 10 citadels either with a heavy cruiser (Riga, Salem) in the 5 minutes either BB on the other hand, yeah if u get into a brawl at the end u can do heavy damage but u aint gonna get much "target practice"

Been like this for around a week I´d say

Yeah been like that for a couple of weeks

Won a CC container in Trenlass twitch stream raffle 15000 coal Pretty happy with that, first CC container for me

Games often start with half the teams not really knowing if they should stay back or push or how to position, why? well overextending early and without backup can lead to a fast demise if the enemy has decided to push on that flank. (so cautious play is a good point) So what happens ? DD moves in to spot often without much support and meets half the enemy team in a big lemming train and with no BB or CA to soak up damage and and no CL to spam / deter enemy push the DD goes down fast. Gotta be cautious with a DD its bad enough even without CV:s.. So if the DD stays back he gets half the team reporting him for "plays badly" and if he moves in and gets deleted in 2 minutes he "plays badly" Maybe if BB players grew some cojones and CL:s / CA:s at least tried to position so they could support and a lot would be won. Most likely its never gonna happen due to lack of communication and mix of skills in the teams My solution to this problem is to not play DD:s much although DD is for me the most fun and challenging class in the game (matter of fact I havn´t played much at all in the last few months )

Not so much if you are in Jap gunboats from tier 8 and up They have their gimmicks, Hydro, better smokes, better speed, better guns etc.. Japs have concealment and torps hit very hard Jap tier 6-8 DD.s is where I played 90% of my DD games Gunboats from tier 6-8 are seem to do way better than torpboats for me Exception is possibly the Asashio with its gimmick long range torps (either die horribly fast or do a hell of a load of damage)

Play around at tier 6 until you start to have decent games Budyonny is a good cruiser to learn to play in, it has disadvantages, its clumsy and no smoke or speedboost but the guns long range and velocity give a lot of hits, this combined with decent fire starting capabilities make up for a lot. Russian techtree leads to very powerful CA:s/CL:s Yeah, the Japanese cruisers.. Mogami is strong and Zao is my most played tier 10 ship, it is fun

Yeah, couple hundred ships many not used for years, flags all over the place there is a mod in Aslains modpack that can demount all

Twitch: (most of them are on youtube too) European: Flamu (calculated highly skilled but can get very salty) Flambass (aggressive player, can be very funny) Mr__Gibbins (cool person ,skilled and funny, never salty) Trenlass (is cool) Statsbloke (is cool) tcfreer (is cool) US: Notser (Skilled, cool, no salt)

Lot of in this thread

British and Italian ?

Good question, Russian heavies too Maybe @Tanatoy knows ?

Tier 9 "Cruiser" 25 AP shells did 79983 damage (11 citadels) Broadside Yamato at 10km closing to 6 km Yeah he did finally citadel me through the bow and finish me with secondaries

Just seemed a bit too easy

Get the Massachusetts Biggest bang for ur buck Spec into secondary modules Dont forget that it only gets really good with a high skilled captain and all the modules I too agree that u need at least a couple hundred battles in tier 8 to have any idea of what and how, do and dont, beware of etc. (if u aint some super unicum from birth like Mozart ) Chances are high that you will make a fool of yourself with ur brand new tier 8 BB when u get into a tier 10 battle North Carolina is a good ship why not just play it for like 50 battles before making any cashdrops

I like the dockyard The half way mark "Graf Spee" tho.. I already have 2 of them

Yes, it seems to me there are less DD:s (Someone is for sure gonna pull up a spreadsheet to prove me wrong) Agree, I got into DD:s but then CV:s.. HE spammers, radars, hydros etc.. Haha, it is just that Yeah Naa, the real problem is the CV:s spotting and HE spammers following up, add to that the CV rockets that will easily take half your HP in one go, the radars everywhere (and hydros) don´t help but they can be played around As soon as you start to do DD "things" like spotting for your team or if you are real insane and try to cap the CV is all over u in less than 30 seconds DD:s only advantage in this game is good concealment, take that away (with CV:s) and goodbye to the fun of playing DD:s, hence less players Count me out of that, I dont play CV:s, ruining the game for myself or others is not gonna happen As far as I heard the German CV:s are less effective against DD:s apart from spotting them (so the more bad/useless CV:s there are in the game the better for the DD:s) Spreadsheet says you are having fun tho MAybe the changes to CV > DD spotting will result in an increase to DD population
