BLUB__BLUB

382 battles and playing T7, I don't know why (I know how...). I have my first T8 BB now... LOL. Earned it. BTW that goes well. I mean, for the other half... T7....

This Bone-arch thing is even worse than King Grog the Filth. However, I think I have found a way... Almost 100k, so it's not too bad sometimes. Now see if I can get over 150 with it... But of course it's a loss, again. Dúh. Probably I'm just the biggest potato in the cart that rolls down the hill.

ROFL did 5 battles today, in a New York division, and we won 4 of them.

I think the only thing good about it is it will get me to Lyon.... Emerald is fun. Usually it is fun for me. Sometimes at least one person is having fun, when I get blapped. Happens. At least I'll have made 11 others happy.

You're serious, right? I've seen tier 10... I have a Monarch... seriously those guys in tier 10 must have taken at least 100x longer to get there than tier 5? Well... I think if you are really honest you already know... 3-4 days or 300-400 doesn't make much of a difference. Oh wait... does... a bit... YOLO vs CAMP that BORDER. But... potatoes gonna potate... I know it, you know it, and I know that you know it. Why not annoy the hell out of them by becoming the highest ranked CRUISER player? Div up in a triple cruiser and smoke 'em out. I know I'll at least try. Just for LULLLZZZ!

I know what it says mate, and I even used a calculator. 1/4 caliber, round up numbers, then x 1.3 for IFHE. It SHOULD HAVE no effect at all, or maybe a little (some cruisers or deck armour). So, technicallt that's a NO. But. Yet the difference is there - i used to have ~25-40% shatters, and now NO MORE. If it hits, then it pens. Fires on KGV used to be a lot more than on any other ship, each salvo = 50% fire, but with IFHE I sometimes get 3 in one salvo. It's nuts. Especially on KGV (on Monarch a lot less) the AP sucks so much, just shoot HE and not care. Only shoot AP in KGV at 100% broadside stuff. I'm thinking, there is something left out. Maybe a pen = more fire chance than a shatter. Which it says isn't but then again sometimes it just doesn't add up, like BB AP hits on DDs. I decided, well hell, he'll have 19 points soon and then I can re-spec anyway with Expert-captain points.

GOOODDDDDDDDD finally a challenge. Somehow I do really good in those two. I know no IFHE needed on Duke, but I have it for King Troll the Filth (tier 7). And since the captain is also on Hood I use it on al RN BBs. I KNOW it is useless in a T5 match, I put it on KGV (T7) because that has smaller caliber than Queen E (T6), and anyone can pen my front at T7 but I could not pen anyone vice-versa. Now it can... even T9. The weird thing is I got even more fires than before I put IFHE on. Which shouldn't happen. But maybe WG isn't telling us all, should be no surprise. So, I tried, and it worked. And I'm not gonna re-spec the captain for T5 ranked... LOL.

Muhaaaaaaaaaa I also have Omaha. And New York (and soon Texas). I also have Iron Duke, 16 pointer and IFHE on it... now that's a troll boat.

It also serves as a torpedo barrier while sinking... Let's div up, I have a 16 pointer...

That thing has several weird things. - it is too damn smart and agressive; - it is really hard to kill (seems like it has mega-armour, yet AP does not function); - has insane rate of fire (guns AND torps); - has insane damage per shell + fire chance; - has insane torpedo arch. I have a Nicholas. No way I could do that kind of damage.

You can, it's a poor old T4 BB. In Hood I manage to devstrike it if lucky. Should be able to do it in Fiji, just fire 'sequence' (not full salvo).

I like Poland. They make Vodka from grass. Save the potato!

Goats? I think he must have slaughtered a herd of elephants.

The biggest misery with them is, when you FINALLY manage to kill them, you received points for a lousy Phoenix (T4) and a Nicholas (T5). Duh. I'm sure that meanwhile you have been killing a Worchester and a Gearing... I think it is a good idea. But the problem is, they changed some stuff (and did not tell us). Some of that stuff is hidden, too. Like those two damn pitbulls.

Makes sense, as cit = max damage for the shell type. Which is of course rather less than a Hood shell... then again, max 8 of those per 30 sec. But I could not do it, neither could Roger in the Gneisenau (we were both ahead of the convoy) when we had it sitting at 8km broadside in the harbour. We both shot full salvoes in KING but it remained on 75% health (I dunno maybe Roger got a cit but don't think so), so we had to chase it. Usually I went left, Missouri would go in towards our convoy, I'd shoot at Missouri once more and then rotate the guns over to the left. Yank the Hood to right, in order to block any convoy ships entering harbour, shoot King (2 salvoes) and after that shoot Dallas (he'd usually get a fire on me). Then full speed into the harbour (AA full on) where the DDs would chase me (but my maties would be near), I'd kill the CL and then go for the other CV. What happens NOW is I cannot kill KING, then I have to chase it and I get attacked by his two steroid pitbulls (CL Phoenix + DD Nicholas). Usually managing to kill KING but ending up a yellow submarine due to those two (they certainly have been 'tweaked').

They could do GROM, same a s Blyskawica but with some gimmicks. And make it a sort of 'jubilee-thing'like they usually do. Same as some other premiums they have got during the years. ORKAN could be done as well, an M-class RN DD with some stuff changed. Lots of them already in game, needing only minor adjustment.

I could (IN THE PAST) citadel the CV King, just aim at waterline, BOOM BOOM, dead (2 salvos). That other one that is in the harbour seems unchanged. Still easy kill. AA consumable on, and go to town. CV KING though, I can't citadel it anymore with Hood AP. Same as that DD and that CL with him. I think they ate steroids.

I've seen that too.... bad karma resulted...

Yes, y this seems to be the problem now. It used to go two salvoes from Hood, even outside the harbour, all cits, and sunk. I don't know if they changed that or maybe I was lucky (all the time??) before. I'll try using the HE from Hood (also has IFHE on that... pen should be NO PROBLEM). Good idea. However I can guarantee BB AP doesn't get citadels. It was broadside and I put 4 AP salvoes at waterline before it sunk, no cits. I'm sure they ff-ed around with that, too. We will try find out then. However, I think though that if that's correct Hood AP should definately get citadels.

The problem is, that Dallas is at the other entrance - PLUS that DD from King. If you're pretty quick you can surprise King in the harbour, but the convoy will arrive quickly after. Used to be I could kill King even before I entered the harbour myself. Then after killing the CV I'd enter the harbour and deal with Dallas. I'd still need a cruiser mate to kill that Campbellsoup, plus the Phoenix&DD leftovers from King. And the cruiser-main that goes to kill their transports is not back quickly enough to help (he is at the wrong side).

True, that's why I was wondering what would happen if I just rammed that DD (the Dallas should be a one-shot kill). I sure can't kill the Dallas AND the Campbelltown with Hood. In 30 secs he'll either torp ME or the transports. Or both, if he lives.

I wonder what would happen if I just rammed that Campbelltown... Good to hear you can still citadel King, I have IFHE on Hood, will try. Used to be perfect with AP though. Never thought of HE. Unfortunately I have no radar ships.

Yes, if you have the two millions for that last upgrade (else it's 14.1 km detection range, which is simple not that great). Plus the XP and credits for the B-hull, and the captain points for 4p "detectability reduction". But... if you have all that... Hmmm. Simply put, I'll get the B-hull and see what gives. If it's still crap, I'll concentrate on other ships. Nice to have good concealment... but you're NOT quicker than anything else. They'll catch up.

I will shoot at the DD that is a pest to my mate rather than at some broadside dufus that isn't a danger to anyone but himself. Yeah then what you get, low damage and everything. But who cares, as long as you can have a laugh about it later.

I know how stats work, however after having an easy time with Queen ELizabeth (the last AP RN BB), I have now also tasted the joy of those OP HE spammers (and I think they are borked).
