Max setting, GTX760 Runs just fine.

It seems to me that at some point in time the AA was a selling point, and that's something that increases greatly over the Udaloi. Nowdays it feels just lame. It's got all the consumables but a weirdly small amount of them, it's got longer ranged torpedoes than the Khaba, sure, but nothing about the torps stands out and they don't reach anything when you gunboat. It's like please give it a gimmick? :D Also now they're bringing in the Delny that looks like it'll be just a better or just a worse Grozovoi?

Okay, so. Why do submarines not take the normal 1/3 damage from HE but more like half of that? Do they saturate immediately or something, or does the water protect them, or what.

Dunno. She mostly feels like a worse Taskhent with +2 consumables and +1 tier.

This is why the recent survey had all these questions about "how much damage can you avoid from OTHER ships? Huh?" so they have the excuse to buff them to the sky. Also the graph about how the best sub are above water more (not going max depth at the start of the match and run out of battery) = submarines are visible and shootable.

Tier 9 Shikishima with 3 guns?

Not quite the norm, but increasingly common. Cruisers have been going extinct even before submarines anyway. Cruisers and Battleships seem to be in this arms race of who can make the game more miserable for the other, while ignoring the triangle mafia winning the game meanwhile, and cruisers lost.

Buh? The only counter to a DD is another DD, the counter to BB is a BB or a DD that won the who has the best DD fight and the counter to cruiser is everything. It's broken even before you add the noninteraction classes.

Only 412 times!

Roma. I also like Iowa and Alaska a lot, and Richelieu. Out of destroyers the Kidd. No opinion on CV, although I quite like the Starscream camo on Richthofen that was totally money smartly spent.

Good. Losing a resource like LWM was stupid in the first place. Although, does this even mean she'll be back at making written ship reviews?

No, because depth charges don't do the full listed damage much like HE shells and submarines don't even have a citadel.

Not really. Hunting submarines is an utter and total waste of time. 12 depth bomb hits Divmate battleship plane bomb hits Sub still alive and again invisible GG

Time for daily Tashkent win. Just peek around island a little and... AAAAAAA LE TERRIBLE AT 1KM TORPTORPTORP MASH BUTTONS Heh! But it happened a second time with their Elbing. He just had too much spähkreuzer in him to die to a couple of torps and too much plating to be finished off by poorly aimed panik salvos. I get XP tho Spähkreuzer OP, counter destroyer leader Unironically Tashkent is the most fun I have with the game right now.

It can spot for itself. If bb captains can't make that work, I don't know what to say.

How can you save resets?

CV boring, not possible to balance because it's so boring nobody would play if balanced. Bring in KM CV line that was focused on somewhat similar gameplay to other ships, finding broadsides to get black box. More fun, but because the AP rocket damage is more conditional than HE rocket damage, it had to be overpowered. So good idea, but everybody knows what happened. Contending with NPC AA and being deplaned also boring. And all types of bombs just an RNG weapon. ALSO CV positioning what we all know it is, big part of the reason why CV so annoying is that the ship itself is forever safe. Bring in communist CV that got a more fun bomb type, no deplaning and goes up closer to do it's job. Good idea but makes AA feel useless, makes your SHIP feel useless because it's got 0 HP and the potato CV factor is even more annoying when you got your Chkalov in A1. So I gather WG sort of understands the issues about CV gameplay not being too appealing and perhaps even why the playing against CV is so frustrating. I think conceptually the AP rocket and soviet CV were reasonable ideas. But here we are. KMCV brought lightspeed crossfires of cruiser destruction and the soviet CV brings the anti-life equation. How come these ideas are grasping at what would be good CV gameplay yet somehow bring the most powerful carriers in turn?

Idk if sub changes anything, but a simple mantra increased my DD winrate quite a bit : CAPS ARE CANCER

It is perfectly ok, even welcome because the random purple squad presents a challenge. It's not like you can division for ranked.

Well Wows should go see a doctor about that tumour it got recently

More like future CV have to be different in some way from the old boring lines, and these last two ideas were ok but turns out pretty horrible. I mean, when they revealed soviet CV I thought it sounds reasonable - slow planes so they can't influence the whole map so much and need to get closer, potentially in dangerous. What didn't seem so reasonable was being slammed for 22k with HE rockets when the match starts or how they keep striking over and over at an incredibly rapid pace. Perhaps there's no way to make a fine CV line with the current gameplay model?

That's an intresting approach to having screwed up for sure

Musashi shouldn't be in the game as she is.

Where's the scam? She was boring, and now she is boring. I sometimes play her and find her to be a reasonable battleship if unremarkable. I got her because I had no T9 premium BB at the time.

I don't have Nevsky, but I'd say no. - It has good AP - It has good ability to screw with triangles with radar and good ballistics - It already has decent enough HE pen for anything but select battleships that you would want to set fires on anyway It's the only cruiser that combines a great radar with fast shells and good dpm, therefore, in my theory anyway, being the only cruiser that's a self-sufficient counter to destroyers. I would not trade this ability for better farming battleship numbers.
