I have no clue what "ranked" means (the level of complaints I read appears to exceed even the one concerning random matches), but in case I feel like checking it out:

Wasn't my main account, so screenshots must suffice. Pretty sure replay does not show more anyway. Weird, there are not even splashes... and the symbols show there were diverse hits (pen, overpen...?), but 0 damage.

In my opinion it has everything to do with desync. Blapping a ship thrice like is was made of mist, what else could it be? Hologram camo technology?

Haha. I just imply everybody there just likes to play T2, because no CV plague, no +2 uptiers, and no (future) subominations...

You realize that I totally know that it happens because it just happened to me and I posted the sad story here?

@wot_2016_gunner Have not played random for months, but wanted to try some lowtier games...

Not 3 salvos in a row. 36 shots, hit torpedo belt ONCE. I am no sniper, but that is plainly ridiculous. By the way, I vote for Bismarck being elevated to T10. I cannot even remember the last time I was NOT in a T10 game with that ship.

Nice. Another proof what a sh'tshow subs will be.

It really becomes ridiculous when you can't hit a stationary broadside cruiser at 10 km with a 12-gun-volley... maybe ramming is the solution. If I can hit a ship with a ship.

Can't be worse than those heroes at T9/T10 who only manage kills in coop by ramming...

I hope that depth charges will be able to damage friendly subs, too?

Maybe you got the idea from Russian sources... IJN torpedo boats operating in the North Atlantic, you know...

Played a couple of games today, got uptiered +2 in every game where this was possible, and unsurprisingly faced double Hoshos at T3/T4. Feels as shitty as before.

You mean CV mainly killed BB in the Pacific, don't you?

Absolutely. RoF/DPM is not important.

Haha no kidding, I am just now having a cup of British gunpowder tea...

It's only one of the bizarre things in this game, where CV sail within visual range of the enemy, turbo-subs are about to join the party, and radar can penetrate solid mountains. I am less concerned by DD guns dealing damage to BB, than their innate ability to conjure up a limitless onboard supply of torpedoes.

Yeah, but Fuso was hit by DD torps if I remember correctly. Though under those visual conditions a DD would have had quite a lot of time and opportunity to rake her with gunfire. Fuso fired at Mogami shortly before that, after all...

Is this a "Breakout" minigame in WoWs? Or ballistic Tetris? Looks funny in any case. Is it only a visual issue, or does it go beyond that?

Anti-German bias...

Depends on the actual vessel in question, for sure, and the era we are talking about. Compartmentalisation and bulkhead usage/configurations were quite diverse. Besides that, if you detonate close enough to a magazine, then it could be HMS Hood all over again.

I think there are blind spots in most 2ndary configurations, or at least poorly covered fields of fire. So a suicidal rush could work. Of course, advantageous weather conditions and distractions would make the tasks easier.

It's the port side, not starboard. The upper pic shows Yamato on October 24th 1944 after the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea. Yamato was then drydocked for repairs at Kure and several of the older anti-aircraft guns were replaced, plus some anti-aircraft upgrades were performed. It might well be possible that her refit was cut short by the frequent re-assignments of the vessel in early 1945, leaving her with only the starboard AA fully upgraded/replaced when she was sailing for Okinawa.

Stack all 5" ammo at your bow, make it a big IED, ram the BB and KABOOOM it. Pretty sure that would work.

Will be funny to see how BBs handle submerged submarines. With carriers and subs the rock, paper, scissors thing will need to have Spock and lizard added,.
