I'll take steel for my Smalland!

Looks that way. Thanks BTW for explaining it to me in simple terms last year. Because of that I was able to help first Biison and then Flamuu with builds that would show the issue. Glad it’s finally being explored by WG.

Looks like WG have acknowledged the issue with salvo fire. This is something they can fix. 1/7 tick rate will give more steps to adrenaline rush influenced fire rate. This will make the problem less noticeable but still present. I expect this is the best we could hope for? No mention of the tickrate limitation (~140ms) that is still present in salvo fire though.

She has the exact same shells as Austin right now, really low shell drag and get to 15km in 10.2s. This is the reason I remain excited about it.

I've been looking at meme range mod builds with 17.5km range and 1.428s reload . it's got arcs like Kleber so it could work? I'm sure I'd be very popular parking my DD behind the battleships!! I wonder if an easy way to reduce the effect would be to fiddle with sequential fire so it works at 1/7?

So a new questions, Why does sequential vs salvo fire make a difference? When Forrest Sherman comes out, will our mouse buttons cope?

So it seems that when clicking continuously rather than holding down the mouse button, the server can received ticks at a rate of 0.1429s (1/7s) Source reddit post here: On server tick rate by @Sub_Octavian : https://web.archive.org/web/20171117115523/https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/96327-dev-qa-about-the-game/#:~:text=AA tick is-,140,-ms%2C sorry. Anyway And demonstrated in this video :

I have doubloons waiting for the original Harekaze if it ever returns!

Cossack is excellent, Kidd is perhaps even better due to functioning AA and a heal. Both have great dpm so you choose either concealment and short smokes or heal, AA and long but fewer smokes. Scharnhorst is not what it once was. I wouldn't recommend it at the moment. At tier 7 almost all battleships overmatch each other, the Scharnhorst doesn't.

You slander lidl my friend!

Yes that is the main issue we are discussing but some are discussing a separate but related issue of the fire rate disparity between sequestial and volley fire, holding down the mouse vs fast clicking.

Well Flamu had a look:

Excellent google doc for those who are interested: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13tO83q8bkVppJXli2UG2qQMCrKeKN3q9uA7H1T3xXEQ/edit#gid=0

Lol, I thought I retained a lot of useless information about this game! Point taken though.

echo_519 post here was my initial exposure to this issue. I tested it and found it to be exactly the case. As far as I know, WG have not confirmed this refresh rate to be the case. Though it is rumoured that it was mentioned in a discussion about AA but I have not found that reference

I agree that the only fix is to alter shell damage and reload. of course, then we'd have destroyer damage per shell higher than many much larger cruiser shells. I would like WG to at least confirm the issue to help more players understand and build accordingly.

This topic has a lot of background on this: https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/146627-småland-fire-rate-testing-dd-skills-dont-work-as-advertised/

Fenyang is a funny one Increasing mass of shells to improve flight times and penetration when it's current AP has both higher drag and lower krupp. Why they don't equalise those stats I do not know. Fenyang AP is very nice at closer ranges right now but rapidly runs out of pen so I am hoping this will be a good change.

Pommern is an excellent brawler. Unfortunately, The new German battlecruisers do it better.

He manage to amass 10k so I assume he at least does ranked.

Coal comes easily steel does not. I used 5000 steel to get Smolensk and regret it every time I’m 5000 from the next steel ship.

I haven’t played Khaba for ages as the captain is on the Tashkent, a better ship in my opinion. I will probably play it more after the change. I think GK is still my most played battleship. I don’t imagine I will au it much as Preussen just looks better right now, 30mm overmatch and much better during angles with no downside.

Had two battles in the Super Container Salem this evening Kraken in the first one, 313k in the next one (and should have been 7 kills!) Love the dpm of this thing.

Great tool. It needs a way of donating like a patreon or similar.

It was good. Of course little detail but it’s not meant to give great detail. Biggest disappointment was them saying Forrest Sherman will be here in spring. I suppose it is technically only a month say though.
