I learnt that in my Champagne. hard to judge ship accuracy when your own is lacking!

1) Iowa yes but the AP is not great against battleships at long ranges. This is a ship that uses both ammo types. 2) Very good at citadelling cruisers and the reload booster means you get two salvos for the dev strike. 3)Yes Turrets are very weak due to flat faces. They tend to go if you brawl. I think it’s best to treat this as a supercruiser.

I really hope they don’t do this and I will blame you if they do!!!!

??? They guns are really accurate, only just behind Thunderer. The secondaries are very good but unlike Massa, secondaries are not the play style. You should use that 43 knot speed to flank and put those accurate guns to use. Anyway, enjoy your 18,000,000 credits....

I'm annoyed as well as we paid for this. I have about 6 of them. However, it's only bringing it in line with the other upgrades. Perhaps they shouldn't have released it with 50% increase initially

I was saving for Slava but seeing the sad sight of so many sitting right at the back achieving little, watching as their team falls apart, I’m now not so sure. Especially as Yolo Emilio looks like a lot of fun!

Marceau keeps tempting me. It looks so fun and I have 430,000 coal....

Of those three? Pommern. Salem is basically a worse Des moines IMO. It has a super heal but it still cues the same amount of damage as a normal heal. Fires now being much of an issue means this heal is not as useful as it would first seem. Also, no legendary and worse radar. Yoshino is a long range HE spammer like so many other cruisers, the only unique part is those dangerous long range torps. Pommern is a great brawler.

Well there are 65 possible bundles so the chances are 65 -1. They also state that the bundles are random. If Wargaming are honest the chances should be 65 - 1.

More BBS than anything. Cruisers seem to be far more numerous than destroyers.

I don’t think I was very clear. When Florida was first tested it was far too strong. To fix this, Wargaming nerfed many stats. I would have preferred they moved it to tier 8 instead with the usual tier 8 battleship plating.

If they left Florida as it was but lived it to tier 8 with 32mm armour, I may have been tempted to whale this. As it is, hard pass from me..

Who else is looking forward to Kitakame entering the game??

GKs main weakness is that huge superstructure. The armour scheme is great but the superstructure takes pens even from destroyers and is large enough to sometimes arm battleship AP.

How often do you aim to take a gunfight against a cruiser in a DD? I would usually avoid those...

50mm plating and 30 second fires limit the effectiveness of HE spam.

I think reducing the AA mount hit points by 50% should fix it comrade.

Watching some KOTS. And seeing a few teams that are mostly Petros and I haven’t seen one yet without at least two. I suppose it’s the stealth radar and the ability to capitalise on any crossfires?

14km away, broadside in my Bourgogne. Shot the broadside petro 3 times with reload booster, 36 shells, not one citadel. This is where the Petro is far stronger than the Stalingrad: It has a low and well armoured citadel and is so low that hitting it alone is hard enough.

When did they say that?

From memory, Wargaming divided cruisers into heavy, light and then those that had destroyer Calibre guns. In this way it is a global change for all tier 8 cruisers with little guns. In general I’m against all premium ship nerfs as once that president is set it would open up all kinds of bad business practices like selling a super strong ship then nerfing it and accidentally making it too weak. I would extend that protection to ‘special’ ships but Wargaming doesn’t agree. I could have agreed with a Smolensk nerf but for the possibility of wider changes that would make the spending of money or resources more difficult as there would be no sense of permanence to any purchase. Wargamings practice of removing ships from sale is the fairest way of dealing with ships that are too strong. It also pays for that lavish Wargaming Christmas party!

I wonder if they will do only 10% damage to destroyers like AP does. With 16 shells in the air, something is bound to hit and I’m just not sure how they’d balance that. It will still be beastly against battleships and cruisers: fewer ricochets and no overpen in exchange for the ability to citadel....

They both are very strong but I’m not sure either is OP. Petro has poor long range accuracy Stalingrad has an incredibly easy to punish citadel and terrible agility. battleship AP rarely overpens a Stalingrads citadel! If the Stalingrad finds itself focused by Hindis or HE battleships, it will find itself in trouble as it cannot go dark or turn and run. Both very strong ships but with real weaknesses that in my opinion, prevents them from being broken.

I hope they don’t limit the times we can play ranked to busy periods. I don’t often play in the evenings so if they limit ranked to evening time I will not be able to do it.
