[HPF] Ocsimano18 Players 3,476 posts 13,949 battles Report post #1 Posted December 17, 2021 I unlocked the ship. The maneuverability is excellent, I don’t miss the armor, but the guns are not punchy at all. I racked up 84k average damage over 3 matches, which seems to be good, but I had 0 kills and lost all matches. I was using HE a lot. I don’t know if it’s me, or the teams, or the ship that has no carry potential. What are your impressions of her? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,178 battles Report post #3 Posted December 17, 2021 She has the same AP performance as GC and Andrea Doria, which is similar to Normandie, which is noticable weaker than 356mm guns. Her biggest problem is the 1.4 Sigma, despite the fact that she has a slightly improved base dispersion. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[VIBES] tocqueville8 Players 3,717 posts 39,413 battles Report post #7 Posted December 17, 2021 Isn't this a T6 GC clone? I played 1 game for the snowflake, 105k dmg or so, and it felt filthy (rudder and accuracy), as I imagine the GC does... Granted, I was top tier, but still...

[RODS] Ronchabale Players 3,002 posts 10,002 battles Report post #8 Posted December 17, 2021 Well, its tier 6, 1 on 1 vs an equally skilled player you might take down a tier 5 Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya But then again you may well fail.. VS a FUso, New mexico, Warspite, Ismael.. hmm.. Wonder how it is uptier VS Brandenburg, Tirpitz, North Carolina, or only 1 tier up Prinz Heinrich, Scharny, Gneis, KGV, Lyon or a Sinop, Tested 1 game unspecced in coop , no big wow feelings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[THESO] KillStealBoss Players 12,123 posts 62,190 battles Report post #11 Posted December 17, 2021 Played with her 2 battles. I was positively surprised, guns are good against cruisers. And there was a Duke of York that went to close combat with me, yes he smashed me for 20k but when he was driving by I obliterated his 39k hp, he said then "no skill just luck you no life". And I got reported after that. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SPURD] Itwastuesday Players 1,768 posts 13,575 battles Report post #12 Posted December 17, 2021 Seems pretty terrible on paper, but got around 100k in the first match I tried her in. At this tier having speed is overpowered for a battleship. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely don’t get it why WG lowered the HP with 5k compared to its T5 “ other” . Did it lose weight by changing pasta for vodka? Is GC OP at T5, yes. Is it because the HP? No, it’s not. Can it tank, yes but don’t show broadside in it. Why did WG not keep the stats of GC, tinkered something with the AA, change armor a bit for being T6 and it would be an ok ship. You no longer laugh in it when uptiered ( T7 for GC is ok, T8 is way less). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its HP pool is too low, armor is gimped, and dispersion is awful. Can't imagine what the devs were thinking. Ironically, I supported elevating GC to T6. Glad they didn't do it, considering this end product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad they didn't do it, considering this end product. It's good only in hands of players that know what to do to mitigate those weaknesses. But yeah, this BB can't tank and can't carry if it's outnumbered. I was yesterday alone in the flank against 2 Zietens with 50% hp and Gouden Leeuw. Managed to smash them all having also around 50-60% hp and barely surviving that (yay Kuznecov FTW ) and you can't even merely do it in Novo. Cause even a Scharnhorst is a problem cause can overmatch the bow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably along the lines of : "How can we exploit demand for CG, but without creating something that might affect game balance?
