Actually that wouldn't be a bad idea, just make some smaller islands where those sit behind that try to stop the lemming train. You'd get lemmings vs snipers, not a bad mode I guess.

Something like this, having spawn north/south would be LOL. They could make the island in the middle heart-shaped and call it Valentine Island or stuff like that. It's not that hard to make maps. More variation would be good. Veterans know exactly where to sit on the old maps.

Yes if you want a tank then get Kremlin. It is the BB we see most used. However, it is slow... (or is it just used slow-and-at-distance). Yamato and Montana we see a lot too, also mostly used "at range". Surprisingly, those tanks, they DO NOT tank... Maybe I should get it. At range though - last CB I citadeled many cruisers, I always load AP at the start. Usually a few cruisers get spotted, and they are still moving to position... -WHACK- citadel! If Thunderer is any better, haven't noticed or maybe their team isn't spotting or whatever reason. I find from 12 shots you'll always hit one or two... enough to sometimes blap one, usually "half" them. Better than Conqkek with the rudder upgrade? That would mean it outturns cruisers? Might be handy as my "preferred death" seems to be torps... maybe I should stop hunting DDs. In WOWs Wiki says armour on Thunderer is better (456 vs 416 mm), haven't seen where that armour is, though. It would be handy if it would block Stalingrad AP...

Well that's the thing, in Clan Battles I'd rather have Conqkek. On-the-move in randoms, keeping your distance, Thunderer moight well be better. I do not think you can outturn a Conqkek by much, it's almost the same ship. As for AP - yes Thunderer has slightly better armour.

I would gladly help them kill the vodka-supply, but I'd still be on the EU-server... OK might NOT look like it after a few vodka, but still...

Thunderer vs Conqkek = 4x8200(63%) vs 6x7200(48%), hmmm... and no doubt who has the best heal. I'd pray to RNGesus if I was in the Thunderer.

I'm not so sure about that, as many have more guns up front... Also, try Conqkek HE, that's 6 per salvo, not 4.

I think that will be good for CB (for me, as I like Exeter).

It is insane indeed. First game out I did 100k. I did (and do...) get annihilated because it is kinda slow/sluggisch compared to Mino. As in: - Hey look torps a-comin... let's move a bit. OK.... gpedal to the metal... go... ehh... - MOVE MOVE MOVE YOU B*STARD MOOVE MOOO..... boom... I guess it will take some getting used to. But doing damage is just insanely easy. It is a Cyka Blyat machine. So far I'm brainless enough to get whacked though... won't take long...

As said, I had to try hard... there was a lot of "AA cruisers" and all that, too. I went like an idiot, diving into blobs and such. Normally I wouldn't do that. Indeed I'd use the first torpedo-drop as a sort of "jump" (or reduction"), and then drop the last ones on Friesland.

I don't have a T9 premium, as I'm more into the middle-tiers as I'm not THAT good, plus the insane stuff that happens there... LOLLL... and that compared to the camp-or-die in T10. Give me T6-7 all day. So I have T10 actually mostly for CB. However... I have Salem, and 30-35K damage on a loss means break even. It is not rare to score 100k damage with it. How's that for moneymaking... plenty good IMO. T9... not for me... as per above, no use for CB and no fun for me to play. On BB vs Smolensk... try Conqkek... doesn't give damn about Smolensk fires, and blaps it with one HE salvo. Last CB we met a clan that had a bunch of Smolensks, a Shima and a Kremlin (harharhar). Guess how it ended... In randoms though, yes get Thunderer. In CB you can just have one BB. And a lot of cruisers. Get the Smolly-BBQ.

Well, happy that you are happy with it! I'd say Conqueror... we did use it a bunch of times now in Clan Battles and it's pretty good, if you play to its strengths. No you won't win 1 vs 1 on a Currywurst, but hey - you will be able to blap unsuspecting cruisers. It is damn useful. I am assuming in CB you meet similar-skilled teams - which means IMO Conqkek is quite strong, better than Thunderer. In randoms... well... lately I think whatever gets the most damage in 5 minutes... It is. But so is Minotaur, and also: Worcester. You need to compare it to those. One thing though: Thunderer is a premium - and yes a moneymaker. So is Smolensk... I'll grant you though that Smolly will make more damage in 5 minutes...

You are right, it is NEARLY impossible. I managed to do it, but the Friesland was dead, and I also killed 2 T10 BBs. It can be done... but you really have to try hard. And after a few minutes I was back to full spawn...

Plenty better than most CV players... spreadsheet says you are having fun... Well, just be careful to not get deleted fast. Yes, but maybe it is good they make the Premium CVs more "DD-friendly". Like Kaga, long approach needed for the rocket planes. It is difficult to kill them. You need to re-find the DD on the re-approach. On RN CV, if you are fast you can get the first hit off right away.

Should be at least 50%.... That is a half of the remaining 50%.... SO that is a bit from the remaining 25%. 10% of your games are crud?

Only if you really live the Russian Bias (and drink Vodka).

Too bad though (but I guess it saves @Sargento_YO)

AA powerhouse? The thing is, yes when they use their "sector"and DEF-AA (if they have it). But they are easy to cheese... send in the last 3 rocket-fighters, and let them push the "whammo button". When you see the yellow-lighted flak, steer away, full throttle, push F... then come back with torps... Then you're doing it wrong... if I ever manage to fail-division the Ark Royal into T10...

Seems code no worky for me... (LOL).

They could mix it up a bit, give Spitfires for rocket planes, torpedo bombers Swordfish, and for the hell of it some "on loan" US HE-bombers... I think they lack fantasy... oh wait... Well maybe they just need to drink more Scotch instead of Vodka.

You can actually smack almost HALF a Kremlin, for instance if you hit him with AP. I did that a few times, with Conqkek, up close - 6km, and he was COMPLETELY broadside. The trick is, do you get away with it...

IMO yes it is. It is a Des Moines, difference being the radar on Salem is shite but the heal is a lot better. 30-35k damage on a loss means you break even, anything better (or a win) means you gain credits. That is certainly true. If you have a T10 for CB, Des Moines is better. And if you have it, get the BBQlensk while it lasts.

It is because at T8 you really need to get in a bit of damage with a CV, else you lose credits. Even at T6 most that were spoiled with double-torp-buff for T4, will struggle. However... those CVs that do make it, will crap on your Atlanta even with a T6 CV.

Tech tree is already filled, eh. Unfortunate - but I want the uneven tiers too (it would solve some problems). I'd go get Yorkie, too, if they let me. Make it a T7. Would be excellent. There's a LOT they could do easily. More variation is good. And they have half of them already on the shelf, so why they do not just bring them, I don't know. YES YES YES!!! I'm not sure we need more "paper ships" though. Graf Zeppy is OK and so would Bearn be OK, as well as that Italian thing. However I don't think every nation (or pan-whatever) should have a complete tech tree.

Donlt worry I'll go hide my stats if that happens a lot.
