[BRBSA] Dbars_eu Beta Tester 310 posts 4,027 battles Report post #1 Posted August 8, 2020 The guns are a complete joke. The guns are already super low caliber and have terrible pen. I am shattering on cruisers at 10km. WG releases ships like the Slava but then releases crap like the Pommern. Thanks for making me waste coal on this crap. 1 2 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[D_S_W] doerhoff_damian Players 1,486 posts 34,518 battles Report post #3 Posted August 8, 2020 WG will Buff the Pommern if the Ship is underperforming. But I have the Feeling that the Ship is Performing quite well. Lets see how the Stats will develope. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont see a Need to Buff Pommern right now. 38cm Guns are Sufficient to get Damage on almost anything. And while the Accuracy us Horrible. It does throw alot of Shells out to make up for it. Needless to say. Hydro and Torps give you quite the Extra Punch in a Brawl. And the Secondaries are pretty Decent too. Armor is very Good. And Maneuverability is also Decent. Right now I would dare Claiming that for a Brawl it is the Strongest T9 BB in the Game. Its Fairly Decent on Mudrange too. Only High Range its Pretty Weak. But Sorry. If you try Sniping with a German BB you are doing something Wrong I think. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why should it be so much better than Alsace? Compared to other T9 coal BBs it seems to be weak. I put there the Musashi stats, as Mr. G had a comparable number of games in the same period. It should be stronger, more fun than tech tree T9s, otherwise why to spend your hard earned coal/money. The problem is that WG considers coal as too easy to earn, and pushes the grind limit even further with the research buro. I could make more spinned comparisons, like the new Russian research buro BB putting 3 citadels into a broadsiding ship at 18km, while the new German coal BB getting no citadels at a broadsiding ship at 4km. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, since every ship should be worth it's price, and right now, Pommern is not; tho i don't fully agree with the "stronger/more fun" part because then, why would i ever play the tech tree ship? A bit better is okay, but not too much. 10 minuti fa, Ocsimano18 ha scritto: The problem is that WG considers coal as too easy to earn, and pushes the grind limit even further with the research buro.

Premium ships shouldnt be stronger, but they should/could be unique. I think Pommers is very much unique right now. Musashi is just blatantly OP at T9. JB is kinda the same, not so much as Musashi, but reloadbooster is something i really see as problematic balancing wise. Georgia i consider most balanced out of those 3. All of them are unique (atleast for their tier), but 2 of them went over the line. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year coal was a new resource, so they introduced worthy coal ships. You get the same unbalanced sh.t now, but have to grind more to get them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree on everything but Pommern being unique, it's just a regular german BB with torpedoes... always same playstyle in my opinion. Siegfried is unique.
