[EPIX] Grossadmiral_H_invader Players 957 posts 6,544 battles Report post #126 Posted March 25, 2020 So you say a ship is not OP, as long as you can shoot BB HE at it? Sorry, not very convincing. All light cruisers are balanced by making them vulnerable to Citadel Hits. HE Citadels occur once in a while, but they don‘t even do half as much damage as AP. Afaic Smolensk has that 40 mm citadel roof, bouncing even Yamato Shells. The combination of Smoke, HE, small size, speed, and torps make it extremely strong. In a Kurfürst, Smolensk is rarely a problem... with the fire perk you rarely get more than two fires, and once the superstructure is saturated, it wont do that much damage. Smolensk is especially strong against DDs and other cruisers. With IFHE, Smolensk will Pen 27 mm. With the HE DPM rate, it is pretty damn insane against other cruisers. Not even the shell velocity is low.... Smolensk is simply a retarded ship and toxic for meta and player behaviour. It is simply unbalanced, compared to Worcester and Minotaur. Take its HE or Smoke away, limit its range to 12 km... Smolensk would still compete well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was smacked by some Smolensk "karma" as it were, shortly after punishing a Cleveland coming round the otherside of an island while the Cleveland was running away. The Smolensk was in Smoke spamming HE at me in the Jean Bart. I already used my damage control party and HP pool, my hp was chipping away below 1000 hp, and i already accepted my fate. Then BOOM! The server disconnected! Haha! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SH33P] Pegasus2022 Beta Tester 128 posts 5,390 battles Report post #129 Posted April 2, 2020 There is no way Smol should have either the range or the smoke or the manoverability accel/stop. It can fight at no risk to itself the entire game. If it gets caught out it can retreat and smoke over and over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
