[TF57] Fatal_Ramses Players 1,300 posts Report post #11 Posted May 13, 2020 Thunderer is strong (atleast according to stats). Last ranked season and several random battles have shown me otherwise. Potatoes pick the Thunderer cause everyone calls it strong ship and totally missplays here. Yesterday in random me and my div. mate came across into triple Thunderer division on the enemy side, it was a 5 BB match. Mate told be in the loadin screen that this is gonna be an easy win and he was not wrong. Those 3 Thunderers were the last enemy ships afloat and they headed to the map border like a row of ducks. Thunderer is as strong as the player control it. (as are all ships.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[PISH] Bratoev Players 524 posts 5,416 battles Report post #12 Posted May 13, 2020 Do remember that its not a Conqueror and has far more accurate guns. Adjust your playstyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TOXIC] ThePurpleSmurf Players 2,554 posts Report post #13 Posted May 13, 2020 So you like the Conquerer and doing well with it but you hate the Thunderer, which is a supercharged Conquerer on steroids. Dude, you played one game in Thunderer and come out with such a statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The usual rule is if you played only one battle, you can return the ship. If you played more than that, that option isn't available anymore. But to be honest, just give that ship a bit more time and master it, it's definitely a good ship for most players. Greetings, Crysantos 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderer is as strong as the player control it. (as are all ships.) Why come everyone calls Venezia OP, but the only memorable experiences I have of it was that I outspotted it in my BB and devstruck it in its silly turn with 457 mm shells that have the second higheest AP alpha in the game (not counting Shikishima)? Why come people call CVs OP but last time I played clan brawl, most CVs were no match for my mighty Ognevoi? Just because the majority of the playerbase is dumb as rocks doesn't mean certain ships aren't just stupidly strong when actually played properly (while others still are crap even i you do everything right). 2 hours ago, CallmeMessi said: Just persevere, use the training room and soon you will learn how to get the most out of the ship.

Sorry, but Thunderer is not crap at all. One bad game shouldn't tell you that it is bad. You seem to do ok in Conqueror, so respect the armour scheme of the Thunderer, you get the same. Just with a faster rudder. The guns meanwhile are the big draw and if you master those, the ship's just broken. If you really struggle hard, play it like Conqueror, it mostly can do the same things, but try to figure out when to fire AP and when to fire HE and you get the most out of it.

So when I wrote players with low IQ I got warning point, but when you write dumb as rocks thats ok. I guess there are really WG levels of insulting others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it makes any sense to you, the guns are just too accurate. It doesn't depend on RNG as much as other BBs. So if you lead/aim well you can consistently smack someone from 20+km. If you don't lead/aim well RNG aint gonna be helping you much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
