[BNNF] MacGuyVR [BNNF] Players 5 posts 7,090 battles Report post #1 Posted September 28, 2019 Hey All, is it normal that a French Tier VIII battleship Richelieu with a Propulsion of 155,000 hp, speed of 32 knots, outruns a German premium Tier VII destroyer Z-39 with a Propulsion of 70,000 hp, and 36 knots, in a Random Battle, The Atlantic scenery... had to hunt him down all the way across the grid / map and he kept well clear of me... just a rare case or he had hidden French Boosters ... Greetzzz... MacGuyVR. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #2 Posted September 29, 2019 Come on, if somebody has an honest question answer it. It not like he screamed h4x and stuff ........ 3 hours ago, MacGuyVR said: just a rare case or he had hidden French Boosters ... Speedboost to be exact. Flags and stuff and it does a little over 36 knts. Upgrade will take care of the duration. So basically he is faster than you base then; to even catch up you need your flag/ your boost as well, and then naturally you will catch up only very slowly if he has an advantage to begin with. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After 2.5k games players should know about speedboost. And the wording... a rare case... when he just listed the actual ship speeds. Anyway, answered I guess. edit: it takes less effort to go to wiki and look up the ship, which I'm sure is listed to have speedboost available. then to make that post.

Probably true. On the other hand ... when from that wiki page questions arise one has to go to the forums anyway ... so I can understand why players sometimes go instantely to the forums. Best case: Answer is given and the thread falls down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or, you know, DDs are getting increasingly obese while keeping roughly the same boilers and turbines for cost saving measures, while battleships get top notch equipment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
