Try to see where they are going. If it's "to the next map to snipe more!" it's going to be pain to hit them since they don't have anywhere to be in their mind.

By the powers bestowed unto me, I give you SPÄH

Dunno, maybe they're not the tankiest but the great ballistics and HE help them decide games. No DD wants to eat an Azuma salvo.

What they should do is buff cruisers (or nerf battleships? idk), most of them can't hunt destroyers because only a few have radars and those usually don't come with good dd-killing guns. So the job of killing DD is left to the DD, inflating their importance even further.

It's pretty nice to not have to shoot filthy HE, but I seem to be getting much better results with Montana, a ship allegedly powercrept into worthlessness. Idk. 12 gun = devstrikes, 9 gun = some overpens and ricochets.

Kamikaze, Gremyarschy, Musashi, Jean Bart, Smolensk... Maybe Massa? But mostly I'd want Smolensk because that one I'd probably play. Plenty of good ships in other classes already, only cruiser feels kinda weak.

That's pretty cool and all, but who are you going to torp, really, when everybody is zoned by airstrikes, submarines and soviet CV in addition to the old CV and torpboats?

In ye olde times, capitalist builds factory. Made of red bricks, got gargoyles, big decorated windows, the works. It's his damn factory and it's gotta be nice. And aside from church, it's the nicest building in city these days. Now fcatories are so depressingly ugly it's no wonder people are unhappy working in them... Same goes for warships btw. Just look at Zumwalt.

LoL is balanced around their crap proscene and what they think the popcorn audience wants to watch happen in progames. After that it's mostly reddit whining balans. It's terrible, it'd be like LET'S BUFF MARCEAU because it's SO COOL TO WATCH!!! Anyway, RIP CV lol. The only reason to play it was to grief torpboats, now I'd need to grind for a HE bomb one? Yeah no thanks, especially since WG has now banned a tech tree CV for CB, which was the other reason I bothered to grind one in the first place. If Wargaming wants people to play CV, making them increasingly less fun is hardly a good solution. They were already really frickin' boring before all the nerfs! Also, most cruiser don't have the tools to deal with DD, they tend to have either no radar or not good enough alpha/dpm/velocity to both find and kill a destroyer. Like maybe Nevsky or radar Minotaur? What about all the Hindys, Henris, Zaos and whatnots that are stuck with an useless hydro? Or how about Petro, ever watch a Petro try to uselessly sink just about any destroyer within the duration of it's radar? Why is destroyer a class that is only countered by another destroyer? I'm pretty sick of all the Hallands and Shimakazes already. Am I supposed to grind for a random Daring or smth?

Well I gathered some intelligence, win or lose (?) and played sniper battleships twice. Okay, seen it. Doesn't seem like there's much of an incentive to play?

So Hakuryu banned? Ehm, there's 4 tech tree CV. If it's 100% Midway next, what then? Ban until only Audacious left? Maybe just take CV out of CB then?

W8, look at Nakhimov. It has 4 smolensk turrets on the visible side. Maybe on the other side too? Best secondaries ship incoming?

Also will we get Kutznetzov as a steel ship?

The stealth-firing secondaries CV dream finally? If it's the case I'll absolutely play this line.

Is this supposed to be an aggressively positioning, shorter ranged CV line what with the slow speeds, rocket boost etc? Because that was my idea on how you could balans the CV class some months ago.

I'm thinking I might slap expert AA marksman on Montana eventually as I don't really care about BoS what with the 30 seconds duration DCP anyway. It produces a flak puff and it's always so enjoyable to see people fly into those. Also I run fighter on it because running spotter when you got 26km range anyway feels bad. It's pretty much a cornercase, though.

Why don't you use the hilariously ugly camo!

The chinese built cruisers of the era seem like they'd suck to play, so you'd need a heavy dose of fantasy to make pan-a cruiser line. Unless like Sianking or smth had a lot of cruisers? I don't even know.

Regrinding KMBB for Yolo Emilio. Having played some good battleships that have worthwhile guns, this line is just like drinking poison.

I don't think I'll keep it, but I had some fun with it. Cruisers at that tier and lower are made of paper and also not of good players usually, so you get to späh them quite often. Mostly I played it in ranked and it worked suprisingly well, probably because can't face T9 destroyers that demolish it.

Ah, so submarines can destroy a ship without even being added to the game yet!

I used to think Montana is garbage. Now, it's my favourite battleship at least on T10. So trying to get that 60 citadel dockyard mission done or the kraken one. Montana is just so fun. I don't know what it is about the guns but they feel like the best guns, better than Yamato guns even. No need to grind for citadels, then!

I got Plymouth. It's great for removing DD and being annoying, but I haven't played it all that much because the handling feels so bad.

Akizuki is indeed a beast. I don't think I'll spec IFHE on it or Kita tho. Btw, shot a DD, rammed a DD and torped a DD Game lost

Whenever I play a KM battleship, I feel like those BB in your bottom tier. After the KM misery I play Montana to restore my belief in the existence of citadels.
