I would gladly donate some coal @Merlin851526 to try it 

I wish someone would  because by the time I have enough it will be nerfed or removed.

So you're saying the Smolensk in your proof screenshot is piloted by a kid after all?

No.

Because that is the assertion you are having a go at, correct? That any kid can do this.

Only if you take it literal.

Are you trying to tell me that so called good players don't use their heal or DC and potatoes do?

I’m telling you the good experienced BB players use flags, modules and Captain skill to decrease the chance and duration of fires. They know when to DCP and when best to use heals. Mitigating fire damage quite well.

 

They don’t spam their DCP on one fire and let themselves burn in 4 places after and waste heals for only a few 1000k HP like most of the player base seem to do.

 

Can’t really say it clearer than this. Potato’s will potato and moan about anything that hurts them. Why do you think torps and flood damage was nerfed into the ground. Using brainpower was to hard for most of the player base.

That was original point. It's not just Potatoes As you call them that are being burnt down. Again the assumption is being made that ships that get damaged by fire are at full health it doesn't work like that as I suspect you know full well. It's the fire chance that's wrong and the current behind Island meta (but perhaps that's an argument for another day). You can't call someone a potato who waits to put out 3 fires and has received citadel damage elsewhere and when the DC goes off cooldown he gets another 2 fires. Oh and flood damage is still catastrophic if received by a DD particularly so if you've used your DC to put out fires.

You’re now making it sounds like BB’s should be immune from being sunk by smart play.... if a cruiser player has taken the time to focus a ship, force them to tank and tank and get them out the game then tough. The reward for the cruisers patience is a dead BB on their kill card. If a BB can’t position themselves in a fleet well or is afraid of tanking them tough. Those are 2 requirements for good BB play.

 

Basically cruisers should not exist to serve any purpose other then be farmed for damage by BB’s... coz heaven forbid BB’s should have a weakness huh.

No your putting words in my mouth. I'm not saying that at all. It would be utterly facile to support what you are suggesting. Moreover in my opinion you are being deliberately disingenuous. It could be well argued that your assertion that it is only Potatoes that are being killed by the smolinsk is equally facile. Battleships have enough weaknesses thank you very much without you trying to suggest they haven't.

Oh, do you mean their poor armor, low health, lack of alpha damage, poor AA or slow speed? BBs sure have it tough 

 

Edit: Oh oh oh, is it their poor concealment?

Tell me, which class has since OBT started been on the short end of the stick? Which class now caters to potato's being able to show full broadside with impunity? Which class has received the biggest buffs because of CV rework? 

 

Also, the players of which class have always been the one's to whine about fires and HE spam, as if they think they should be immune. Smolensk has insane fire chance, if you let it shoot you and if he specs for it. On the other side it's your job to not get farmed and to spec a tank build.

+300K dmg with EZ any kid can doo that, this ship broken, the only choice when this ship in the game is only Delete the game and forget it for ever,  but we all love the game but this Thing is make as hate this game.

 

Not the first time WG releases a completly broken ship. It serves to attract players and keep people speaking about something.
Don't worry this insanity will be resolved but another broken ship will break through your screen soon enough.
The point is that you need to get acquainted with ships that look to have insane dpm and/or fire chance, but remember that no ship is unbeatable, even less the Smol, which is even quite squishy if well caught off-guard and with embarassing low hp. It's shattering is even high due to its caliber. Indeed it has its weak points, as any ship, you just need to take advantage of it and avoid his sprays of fire.

I managed to solo a Smol with my Khaba. Took time and some covering and back and forth but I did it. On the other hand, I found very hard to manage Smols in my Kurfurst, but this is obvious when you are on a massive juggernaut particularly inclined to melt at any occasion.

Btw, no ship should ever push you to leave the game, there are plenty of other reasons :D but still here we are!

Your joking right? BB can show full broadside with impunity what game are you playing seriously. If anything Cruisers are protected when showing broadside due to the overpen mechanic. Anyway this thread isn't about your obvious BB bias and elitism it's about the Smolinsk.

Now go look up the bold text you so eagerly referred to and please stop disproving other peoples rants with broken logic. It's confusing me. Just disagree :D

Thanks for the friendly banter, fun times

Maybe you should actually play the game rather than making this ********** comment. 

Playing the game:

a) actually means you can contribute to the forum discucssion with useful insights;

b) helps you to learn game mechanics if you have at least 2 brain cells

That's exactly ... what I think when reading your posts.

Besides RU BB's, way to many BB's have to low citadels or to effective turtelbacks. BAD PLAY in  battleship is punished much less as in a cruiser or destroyer. Hence why we keep having the worst of the worst being attracted to battleships.

I absolute detest this, but on the other hand you have BB's overmatching a lot of cruisers in a lot of places and I strongly dislike that overmatch mechanic even more.

Anyway this thread isn't about you

So why are you personally attacking me, calling me biased and elitist. Them are quite some fancy words, do you know what they mean? Do you know me? Maybe you should think before posting. 

 

If I am biased I wouldn't play classes almost equally except carriers, if I were elitist I would only play ships I do extremely well in so I get, according to your statement, a more elitist status. 

 

And about being elitist, it's the other way around. I actually think of myself as nothing more as decent, and recently even decent is a stretch. Idk how that could be seen as elitist, I would like to compare myself with much better players and see if I can find out what makes them capable of reaching averages and win rate's I still can't touch on. I think I'm the opposite of an elitist even, as elitists are afaik prone to be complacent about themselves at the same time.

it's about the Smolinsk

Which seems to trigger the release of lots of salt from BB Kevin's.

 

This thread has nothing to do with your dislike of people with different opinions, this thread is about how good part of community isn't on the bandwagon with complaining about Smolensk.... unlike Balancegrad, sure there were apologists but most admitted it was pretty 'balanced' for a Russian ( hope you get sarcasm... ). 

 

Most of what I see is people with either hidden profiles or bad stats complaining about HE spam and fires, and when they are told how to deal with that as well as how it will take some time for Smolensk stats to stabilize,  it's immediately clear they have no interest in hearing anything besides someone repeating their own words.
