anonym_hiiw5uZtBExP Players 50 posts Report post #1 Posted May 6, 2020 Hi, I feel like the power creep is immense these days. Just take a look at my fight with Yoshino: salvo after salvo, citadel after citadel and it does not want to die. Then comes the fight with Puerto Rico. I mean look at what happened, the PR was not angled. Sure, I was not angled but how many citadels he did: seven citadels, ten citadels? It is ridiculous compared to what I did/did not to the Yoshino. You just can't beat this. The bigger caliber always wins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_hiiw5uZtBExP Players 50 posts Report post #2 Posted May 6, 2020 But the best is yet to come ... Here is my struggle with the Smolensk. Moskva is supposed to be a what, heavy cruiser, a battlecruiser? It barely scratches the Smolensk. Now it is no problem for me if there are fantasy ships but these are ... "fantasy" fantasy ships. The eponymous RNG is not random at all. It is made to behave in a certain way with certain ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[21ST] firerider202 Players 437 posts 7,924 battles Report post #4 Posted May 6, 2020 Well PR has a way lower citadel than yoshino, thats one of the things which make PR unique. The issue here is not that much powercreep but the fact that Yoshino is a completely different ship compared to PR. And yoshino never was that monster of a ship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cambera_1 Players 1,018 posts 23,910 battles Report post #12 Posted May 6, 2020 The way to handle the Smolensk with large calibre naval guns is high explosive. That does the trick. Alternatively use 152mm AP. Minotaur eat up Smolensks! Hindenburg does wonders against the little Soviet CL with its larger 203mm AP too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,310 posts 18,845 battles Report post #14 Posted May 6, 2020 PR was not broadside, you were. You shot citadels on Azuma. What else do you expect? When you want more, aim better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Smolensk has very little armour and is as thin in the beam as a destroyer. This means that any large calibre armour piercing shells will over-penatrate the broadside Smolensk. Therefore the best possible protection shr can have to a battleship/battle cruiser is be fully broadside. Edited May 6, 2020 by Cambera_1 Typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PISH] Bratoev Players 524 posts 5,416 battles Report post #17 Posted May 6, 2020 Lol Puerto Rico has American AP. You did a huge mistaking giving it a broadside even with its stormtrooper dispersion. Rule of thumb never give broadside if you can at all avoid it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check you guns in port. The maximum damage of an AP shell is when it hits the citadel. You only hit one citadel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So RNG does not work on a salvo level but on a game level. In other words, some games you are made to have worse RNG - some games you are supposed to lose. So it's not really that random this RNG ...

You either aimed wrong or were just unlucky. If that never happens, then you aim wrong. WG does not issue a guarantee that all broadside ships are deleted in one salvo.
