apparently Hitler was the leader of Germany in WW1

play Roma and Marco Polo AP only then

Give me all your account details so that I can take whatever loot you own, and then transfer the Torpedo BB into your account. 3 for 1 deal

Here's a better option Remove main guns from BBs entirely and replace them with secondaries and torps

yup

this is the best of the bunch. You gotta play them close tho

Nope All I need is a bottle of vodka

Brawls is a ton of fun Smash everything

I agree. Most premiums are bought for History. But we have to remember that ships are just a basis of the game, not the game itself, so premiums are made based on gameplay, as well as historical significance, and especially the former. As for full paper tech tree, it will be necessary at a later stage, but isn't necessary today. But paper ships are required to make successful tech trees, just like how glue is required to stick two pieces of paper (for eg, most of the line of IJN BBs is historical, but to make sure it fits, Izumo was put in at T9 to not leave as a massive of a power gap between Amagi and Yamato). And there are several paper ships that are quite famous, take the H class BBs, or the Dutch 1047 Battlecruiser, or the French Alsace class, etc etc

Gneisenau performance at T7 is quite high hence its popular. Its up there with Sinop and Hyuga in terms of competitiveness. Its not even that historical with that refit, but its still sort of historical + it performs well. As for the German BCs, we always wanted a BC line, and we finally got it. Yes they are gimmicky, but gimmicks that are actually useful and not just an add on for better appeasing unlike Constellation or Tiger 59 for eg. As for their historical accuracy, paper ships are necessary for full lines. A line of paper ships is not good for the game, but using paper ships to either:- A. Show the evolution of ships of that line (for eg. St Louis to paper ship Phoenix before going to Omaha) B. To complete lines (German and Japanese cruisers for eg) So that's what happened in the line. Everything upto T8 is real, and from T8 they are paper (WW1 GK BC designs of 1910s)

well ig that changes with the new BCs. Apparently Heinrich is a better Gneisenau. I honestly don't think one is better than the other, both are equally good imho

T7 is also sort of real. They did plan to change the caliber to 380 later. So T7 is real. T8+ is fantasy tho

Becoz LM mod makes Yamato so accurate that you forget wtf a Thunderer and Slava is. Plus accuracy combined with high alpha, penetration and overmatch leads to gunpower that can be considered as

Shikishima is basically a Yamato with bigger yet fewer guns, and better auxiliary armaments. Its not a bad ship, but preference does matter Bourgogne is not for everyone. She is basically an oversized heavy cruiser with insane damage potential but a fair amount of limitations which increases the skill floor and ceiling significantly. Plymouth is a rather solid choice. It has very high alpha with 16 guns and decent reload, decent torps, and a insane utility. She is ca perform various roles and is a dangerous cap guarder as she murders DDs and chunks bigger ships thnx to her high alpha potential (I literally did consistent 8-10k salvoes on Repub 9km away before in this ship). Basically an Edin on steroids. Austin is a high risk high reward ship. You require high positioning skills to do well in her. She doesn't have radar like her American counterparts but her insane damage potential under the right circumstance makes her a threat and a half. She also has rather good armor for a CL, with 32mm plating which is quite unique, and allows her to bounce upto 457mm guns. She is also well concealed, has +1 heal over the rest, rather agile, and has some nasty torps to top it off. But her rather low HP pool, 16mm bow and tern plating, and exposed citadel make her prone to eating citadels, and her sustained damage isn't that impressive. Stalingrad. Its basically a supercruiser with as great gunpower as a BB. She is very survivable for a cruiser yet the lack of FP greatly limits her. Her guns are excellent, so much so that I'd call it the best in the game class for class. However, she is sluggish and has poor detection so one wrong move can lead to serious consequences. Ragnar is a bigger gunned version of Smaland. She retains Smaland's toolkit and concept, but there are a few twists. She carries light cruiser artillery, 4 six inch guns with fast reload, Heavy German DD (Elbing) accuracy, and good alpha with decent range to top it off. She also gets very god survivability, as she is the second destroyer in the game, capable of crossing 30k HP, backed up by a heal and a 25mm plating which while less efficiently covered compared to Elbing, is still a good defense against DD HE shells. She also has good AA. But she is rather sluggish, big, and her concealment is very high. And she also carries no torps whatsoever. She is basically a Mini cruiser version of Smaland. Is it better? No. Is it more interesting? Yep. Note, she can kind of stealth radar so keep that in mind too I'd honestly recommend Plymouth as your first steel ship, as she is most well rounded of the 4 (you already explained your distaste towards Shiki and Borg, so forget about them). But if you want something unique, then go Ragnar if you don't have Smaland, and if you do then go Austin. Stalingrad is a nice compromise but you can get a better version of it for free in the tech tree in the form of Petropavlovsk.

Nope Anyway subs go oonga bunga

I mean, on top of the plate she is fast, and looks like she will be harder to hit than Khaba

or it spreads American freedom propaganda to JOIN THE EMPIR......US NAVY AND YOU GET A FREE GEORGIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 seconds Mostly becoz a storm in my area cut off my electricity and I had to sit whining about it all night .

ig WG has you covered? https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/237

DDs, CLs, Non-German and Non-British CAs, and will bounce all AP in the game But yes. Delny needs more range, like 12.8 km

To enrage you

if that happens RIP HE spammers that aren't German

Jinan has the potential of 40 torps so its all good
