BB skills for big Cuisers?

Why BCs cant inherit BBs skills?

They are quite different from "normal" cruisers as burn longer and have BB like dispersion.

Propose -> can get fire prevention and Dead Eye skills for BC.

Get 32mm overal plates is another good idea. Dont exist lower lvl BC than T9.

Khronstadt, Alaska, PB, Azuma, Yoshino in bad position now. Cant say anything from germans as dont have any.

Moskva and Velencia count as normal but can count BC too.

Does the Cruiser skilltree lack vital skills for many Cruisers? Yes it does, and not only for BCs.

But they surely dont need deadeye, and most certainly they dont deserve 32mm plating, especially on T9. They would become virtually immune against BBs when toptier, since the only T9 BB which can overmatch 32mm armor is Musashi.

 

VeNEZIA does not need tanking skills like BCs.

 

BCs were often just overpowered compared to their smaller cousins anyway, so a small nerf was definetely in order for some of them. Surely removing access to all tankskills is bad, and hopefully they change something about it. Easy solution just give them 45 sec fire duration like Graf Spee, that would already solve the issue of not having access to BoS anymore.

Or just rework the Cruiser skilltree from scratch again, half of it is garbage anyway, and its missing several useful skills.

How are they in a bad position? Azuma is better than ever, I just got Alaska and it seems pretty bonkers to me with the excellent guns and nonexistent citadel. 

 

Until they have their own actual class, they need to have some weakness, because they occupy a cruiser slot.

I think that's basically it. It's very hard to balance these against standard cruisers.

 

Most of the time I'd prefer to be in a standard cruiser in a 1 vs 1 as, once angled, a cruiser can mitigate super cruiser AP very effectively.

Of course, normal cruisers can get blapped. 

My only issue is the lack of fire prevention or a lowered fire duration. Fires are the most annoying way of being killed and supercruisers are currently the most susceptible to them.

OK, but when Azuma/ Yoshino count as BC with poor armor why Moskva/Henry/Velencia count as "Normal Cruiser"?

They are huge ships with big or many guns...

If Ship count as BC now just debuf that ship with longer fire duration without some BB skill.

From full HP angled Azuma/ Yoshino can be deleted 1 BB salvo Moskva is not... But burn longer and eat more damage from HE shells feels balanced.

 

Kronstahdt without Deadeye has worse dispersion AND sigma than some high tier BB...

BB can select this skill BCs are NOT.

Venezia is not a super cruiser. It’s done very very well out of the commander rework. 

 

It’s not, but it occupies the same cruiser slot as supercruisers do, which would mean she would receive buffs along side if it was done the way the op proposed.

Because the cruiser type is determined by caliber only, not by armor (so a 203mm main battery would be a CA, a 152mm a CL, for example). This is due to a rl naval treaty, it’s not something wg made up. Cruiser type determination has nothing to do with armor.

And there is a very good reason for this: 

 

Go to practice battle, grab a Stalingrad and shoot some bot- Yorcks.... maybe you will see it then.

Azuma/Yoshino 310mm caliber guns

Henri 240mm

Moskva 220mm

Venezia 203mm

 

Yoshino basicly has the same armor as Henri and Venezia - plating wise. 25mm bow/stern and 30mm midsection. Only Moskva has better armor with 50mm midsection, but instead, Moskva has so much worse concealment

Azuma/Yoshino have 11,88km, Moskva has 14,1km...

Kronstadt has standard cruiser sigma but it's dispersion is that of a battleship.

It isn't, the super-cruisers have their own dispersion formula in between battleships and regular cruisers. Kronshtadt is plenty accurate considering it also has 18 second reload, which most BBs do not even come close to.

 

You want to know what true cruiser dispersion on super-cruisers would do? Look at Siegfried, which is already a monster, then give it 9 guns instead of 6 and shave 5 seconds off the reload.

Kronshtadt uses USN BB dispersion formula (same as okto).

Azuma/Yoshino also use a different formula, which is better than the other BCs.

Huh... OK, I stand corrected. But Alaska and Agir use Graf Spee formula, right? I thought they were all Graf Spee formula (except Siegfried).

Yep, Alaska, Stalin, Ägir and Graf Spee use the same formula.

While I would love for cruisers and Super cruisers to be in a better place this just seems like a bad idea.
