OT2_2

Absolute first battle with my brand-new Soviet BB Kremlin (freshly grinded). Extraordinary to say at least. Top of the board and winning the already lost game alone against 1 CA + 5 BB.

Additionally, those players are often very keen and interested in "Kill Stealing" ... had a Montana player, who did hide behind a small Island ca. 18 km away from the hot fight. 3 x he "killed" enemy BB I had shot to pieces. I reported him for unfair conduct.

Azuma, Ägir, Hindenburg and Buffalo. Those seem to be best suited if I'm looking at my "cruiser force". Unfortunately, I don't own any T IX or X DD until now. Success with both Santander and Moskva, Petro was limited. Perhaps wrong positioning since I used them very early ingame.

Second battle (Random) with my freshly grinded British BC HMS Hawke. I love this ship already now, handles and shoots brilliantly. The first battle was a loss with me on fifth place with "Dreadnought" medal, but that didn't make it any better. The second, however, couldn't have been any better. GG and a good team, dream of a fight actually.

Yeah, you can get it for free (coal) 107 k. Nice ship with lots of fighting power.

I did precisely the way you suggest, but nothing happened at least very little. I was quite astonished too. :-)

French ships protected? Yesterday I had a beached TX Bourgogne fully broadside at 5,3 km distance, and my Moskva didn't manage to make anything as about 1500 HP pr. salvo with so called Soviet bias guns and Soviet bias AP. After 4 four salvos I had done less than 10 k dm ... I'm I complaining? No, because this happens to everyone in a while.

I would either get the Duke of York or the Scharnhorst due to her torpedo armament.

Did use my radar perfectly timed, which I have to admit happened completely randomly :-), evaded Hayates torps and hit the DD two or three times with several 220 mm HE pills. Short and intensive fight.

Ranked with "Republique"

No absolutely not. It's the second most important tool of the Schlieffen.

Had a fight against a Shima with my Schlieffen ... so not the best cards anyway. He was capping when I was still on my way (full throttle) and then I used my hydro to spot him within A Cap. And yes it worked out. He moved towards me and I was able to land 4 HE - main calibre shells on his broadside. Only 3000 and something in points, which I think is strange enough, but what concerned me most and still does is the fact that the secondaries didn't fire. Same happened some minutes later when the Shima tried to rush me. Only 2 main HE shells did hit, but the secondaries didn't say a piip. Before and after the 1 v 1 brawl the secondaries worked flawlessly, so it might have been a bug or kind of severely disadvantaging RNG. Either way no chance for me to win against the agile Shima. What's next, BB or CA/CL against Gato or what?!

Sinop again ... have had her before and hated her, because she started to burn if only someone looked at her. Yesterday I gave it a try again and purchased her for a second time. Today she had her first fight in a random battle, where she was low tier among several T IX and VIII. This time she was properly skilled regarding fire prevention. With more knowledge, skill and experience on my side she was able to show her real potential. With a gracious RNG she was superbly accurate out to her range limit, and we delivered a quite decent fight.

Brawl ... second time that this happened in the course of two days, and I'm sick and tired of it. Killed both enemies almost simultaneously, and the last one killed me at the same moment (at least as I felt it) ... and the other team won. Should have played both games without "team mates", would have been better probably. On the other hand, I have to admit that I'm a (very) bad looser.

After the stark economical nerfs regarding asym. battles I changed my "grazing" ground to brawls with quite some success. Used a grey booster for credits, and the result was worth it. During the last couple of asym. battles RNG has been changing massively too and not in our favour.

You are quite right. Tried out the squishy T IX Buffalo, had to play somewhat cautious of course and had my good impact on our left flank and did help my BB (Schlieffen) a lot. DMG of ca. 40 k (mainly fires), was using a 40 % credit booster and got 21 K in credits out ... Ridiculous in any sense! That's surely no motivation at all playing more vulnerable CA or CL in asym. battles.

Yes it can be difficult. It's absolutely necessary to be very cautious in the beginning of a battle due the fire focus you addressed so very correctly. Stay behind the BB and set fire on the adversaries and then wait and see how battle is developing. Did the same with Azuma, but not as successful damage wise. Btw you said BB, but Hindenburg is a classic CA. Perhaps I did misunderstand you, also possible.

Hindenburg works just fine in asym. battles.. Kiting as main task and then switching between HE and AP while main weapon is and will be HE.

First "Random - Tour" with my brand new acquisition, the Soviet BB Vladivostok. Of course a defeat, seems to be the usual recently, although I did pretty well. Stabilising the left flank on "Two Brothers", where everybody was sailing around absolutely senselessly or cowardly hiding behind islands. Tried to tank in hope to pull others along towards B Cap, but unfortunately in vain. Honestly, the asymmetric battles are a remedy compared to this.

GG! All my team mates were sunk, but I was still able to take on the fight and captured the last remaining 2 caps alone while sinking 4 BB. Damaged and almost sunk the bot CV, which attacked me with bombers and torpedo planes all the way and very good aimed. The game ended while on 550 HP myself ... I like this (PvE) modus that hopefully will be implemented permanently.

I had almost the same case with a guy of 51 % WR and 6893 randoms played. He didn't even start in his P. Ruprecht, but only firing sets of torps from the starting position ... after being reported for unsportsmanlike conduct he started slowly, very slowly moving. Some of these people are very, very often clapping their own shoulders or of those of which they think do belong to the "elite - club" with better WR. Where ever they got those "stats" from, they are inflated and don't reflect real life performance. Not even close. Guys like this are far worse than the so called (honest) potatoes or noobs. Here on this forum the latter get often treated with undeserved contempt, because they aren't perfect in the game or whatsoever.

(Kruppstahl - Großdeutschland) Great videos, I was laughing my a§§ off. LOL

I'm using "Preussen" as main battery built, and she is doing what she is supposed to do. I haven't experienced any accuracy - or damaging issues, in contrary. She is doing very well in the asym. battles as far as I'm concerned.

GG, and together with a good *Gearing* player I managed to kill all remaining enemies in BB except one (heavily damaged) and win the game. The bots were almost angling too perfect and had killed all our team mates in quick succession. This was in fact more exciting than many of the "convoy battles" against humans. I like this modus more and more.

Right, no limitations for the bot - team. Here NINE BB including two hybrids. Even worse was it with 1 carrier + 2 subs and 9 BB. Unfortunately I did forget to take a screen shot.
