It has better dpm and accuracy than either Hizen or Pommern It has a big health pool. If you swapped the flight deck and planes for a normal superstructure, it would still be a good tier 9 battleship. So for the cost of a large flight deck you get a squadron of planes. I don't thin its hard at all to use rocket planes on slower targets, learning to use them on destroyers takes a bit more time of course. Once you learn the lead time it's actually very easy. One of the best things is when you know there is a destroyer in a certain area but it's unspotted, you can fly your planes to target, initiate attack then you have about 10s of spotting to fire your guns. It feels quite naughty. The slow shells are a blessing and curse: they take a while to get down range but overpen less than other shells Against a Smolensk the Kearsarge can full pen the citadel at about 12km, in the Pommern it's close to 18km. I thinks it's a strong and fairly unique ship with plane spotting getting over one of the usual battleship weaknesses.

I agree, it's also a good balancing factor as the ship is quite strong. I'd just like to know.

Noticing that the Kearsarge superstructure does not seem to saturate like other ships. Can anyone in the know confirm whether the superstructure has it's own HP like a superstructure or whether it forms part of the casemate for saturation purposes. Thank you. @MrConway @Crysantos @YabbaCoe

If you don’t like Moskva you’re right to avoid Stalingrad. Playstyle is similar but it’s far moreAP focused but 60s fires suck on a huge immobile platform that can be seen from space. Plymouth does seem to take citadels like a Minotaur from my experience shooting it.

I don’t have Austin, Plymouth or Ragnar but for Me Ragnar will be my next steel ship. Bourgogne is very nice and to be honest a hybrid cruiser battleship. Really a lot of fun and very effective. Stalingrad is strong but just so awkward now.

Subs are terrible but not for any of the reasons mentioned by OP.

That delay can be quite useful: Find DD with planes Press attack to begin animation. Return to ship and fire guns Drink salty DD tears This also seems to work in cyclones but i need to try it again to test. EDIT: Just did this with a poor neustrashimy, his superheal could not save him. The combination of spotting, rockets and artillery could be very effective in the right hands.

Yes I did use a lot of HE there but I feel AP is probably the way to go with stacking dot as a secondary strategy. The AP is really quite nice and like the north cal, doesn’t overpen to much.

Second battle, lost 2 karma:

Oooo a Klingon captain would be fantastic. @MrConway get to it!! (please)

Thanks for that, that bit of plating is tiny and insignificant.

Really? IME the rocket change has not affected plane choice, only target choice.

Montana guns in number only. it’s got slightly better dpm but worse pen and flight speed than Iowa. Also a worse heal. However, even without planes this ship looks balanced with other tier 9 battleships. It should be strong overall.

It's fairly standard that steel ships have better stats than tech tree ships.

I held off on the Ise and Tone so I think I’m buying this later. Sorry to all who’ll have to look at it.

All torps do citadel damage unless they hit bow or stern.

Well it's in the armory for coal and in the premium shop but not available for doubloons. Is this intentional? @YabbaCoe

3 camos, not even worth the time spent typing the code in.

Not at all, you look at many elements of a ship to decide whether you want it or not. The decision made then is subjective. I bought it as a cheeky, stealthy secondary cruiser. You don’t have to share my opinion on this

Perth is a very strong Tier 6 cruiser T 7 is a bad tier for cruisers. If you can push to tier 8 there are some far better cruisers. Perth does fairly well, even when low tier.

Range and concealment. Delny has better torps but guns are the appeal of this ship. Now look at Grozovoi: better range and dpm, far better concealment and the ability to have smoke AND a heal. At this point, it will need 50mm plating across the entire ship to make it interesting.

You are missing the point entirely. I bought it for a meme secondary cruiser. If I wanted a sniper, the Slava would be a better buy.

Really no good reason to get the Delny, the Tashkent is better.

It has some pretty severe limitations now. Still it’s brought by Moskva back into relevance!

PUBLIC TEST 0.10.10, BALANCE CHANGES As was previously announced, there will be balance changes made to Petropavlovsk, Zao, and F.D. Roosevelt in update 0.10.10. These small changes are required in order to carefully adjust the balance of these warships. Further changes may follow in future updates, should they be required. Soon we will surely share more information about the reasons for changes to particular ships in a separate publication. Besides, in the first half of November, we will also release a video where we will provide a more detailed information on how we work on ship's balance. Balance changes X ZAŌ: Number of Hit points increased from 40,800 to 42,800. X FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: Number of hitpoints on Attack aircraft reduced from 3,200 to 3,040; Number of hitpoints on Dive Bombers reduced from 3,710 to 3,525; Number of hitpoints on Torpedo Bombers reduced from 3,690 to 3,505. X STALINGRAD: Main Battery Reload Time increased from 20 to 21 s. X PETROPAVLOVSK: Main Battery Reload Time increased from 13.5 to 14 s. V KOTOVSKY: Main Battery Reload Time decreased from 10 to 9.5 s. IX BUFFALO: Main Battery Reload Time decreased from 12 to 11.5 s. VII SINOP: Maximum AP Shell Damage decreased from 12,950 to 12,500 IX Z-44: Detectability Range by Sea decreased from 7.8 to 7.5 km. Other detectability ranges were changed accordingly. X YUEYANG: Torpedo tubes reload time reduced from 139 to 129 s. IX MARCO POLO: Sigma parameter increased from 1.8 to 1.9. VIII MONARCH: Main Battery firing Range increased from 17,0 to 17,5 km; Maximum firing Range of Main Battery guns with "Gun Fire control system" mounted increased from 18.7 to 19.2 km. Bug fixes: Fixed an issue because of which the secondary battery firing range of several ships didn't match the systematic values. Small changes made to the secondary battery firing range of II NINO BIXIO, II CHESTER, II DIANA, II DIANA LIMA, II ALBANY, II ALMIRANTE ABREU, II CHIKUMA, V CONTE DI CAVOUR, V PYOTR VELIKIY, V IRON DUKE, V HAWKINS, V EMERALD, VI DALLAS, VI LEANDER, VI DEVONSHIRE, IX IZUMO. Details will be available in the patchnotes of Update 0.10.10. Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing. The final information will be published on our game's website.
