Alsace secondaries build is very strong.

 

...

I really didn't want another BB line that relies on secondaries. What's the point of a ship that does the job by itself ? Secondaries are no fun. Give me a strong ship with good main armament instead of nerfing it in favor of a secondary build.

That camo filter can't come soon enough

[TheKingOfUm]

Both camouflages, the "Green Tape for a blue ship" as well as the "Make it teutonic, they said; and if that means adding giant eagles and iron crosses everywhere, so be it" have good bones though, so to speak. White/blue and white/black in the colour schemes should make it fairly easy to mod the patterns to something a little more realistic.

So whenever you think WG can't come up with an uglier camo, they manage to surprise you...

 

(The Sch'norst camo is nice, though...)

"Projectile vomit" came into my mind but "spearmint camo" also has a nice ring to it. :]

I was assured it was passed to dev team.

Now we shall see how long it will take to implement one.

I'm really liking the Scharnhorst cammo, will look neat next to Bismarck, the other cammos, i'll pass

tbh all BBs and Cruisers should be able to have usable secondaries as long as they are specced towards it. It shouldnt be the way it is now where only the BBs that is magically given 7+km secondary range should be viable with a build. I really dislike that about WG and WoWs, there is only one viable BB build right now and thats CE/fire survivability. That sucks for gameplay variety.

Not the whole line, only Alsace can have both good main armement + good secondaries. I can say that it outguns FdG in that aspect.

France has worse secondary firepower and worse camo than Alsace so it is bettter for France to stay with main guns.

 

Spoiler

 

Gascogne has worse armour than Richelieu, easier to get citiadel hit. Its AA is worse compared to Richelieu hull B due to French 25 mm and 37 mm guns.

Lyon can have 96 AA rating with AA build

I would've liked this too. More specialization options would add a lot of flavour to the game.

I would even go as far as to let every ship chose one or two main extra 'custum' features so the game becomes more unpredictable (and thus more fun).

Like boosting engine power or upgrading AA layout, improving the citadel or deck armor or spec into secondaries. It would be a lot more exciting not exactly knowing what you're going up against. 

 

It would also be really cool to see several BBs with all their secondaries (now only happens when two German BBs happen to meet) opening up. Imagine all the fireworks.

Flambass posted videos of games with Roma ...

 

 

.. and Aigle

 

 

Both ships looks strong but that range on Aigle with AFT seems a little too much.

[peachpest]

That 15km range for the Aigle with AFT solid fire chance of 9% and its 17k HP at tier 6, that's just crazy what is this a French low tier Khabarovsk just with out the heal ?.

Yeah but those rainbows...

700m/s shells with 15km ?
Ouch.

Aigle class was quite large, fully loaded their displacement was larger than Fletcher. It heave some strengths but it's far from Khaba. Without speed Boost its speed is average and turret rotation is quite slow. Captain build should be similar to Leny captain.

Yes arcs looks bad but still 15km range (with AFT) at T6 dd .... too much.

[Darth_Glorious]

Aigle shells are very slow so it is very hard to hit at max range

In my opinion it's just useless range and AFT would be a waste.

[ShinGetsu]

Honestly Aigle seems more suited to shred every tier 6 and even tier 7 DD at close range. That DPM is insane and it has the HP to kill two or three DD in separate duels.

The only real downside is the concealment, but it can still be very dangerous provided it appears in caps with the right timing.

Farragut has more DPM, better smokes, much better firing arcs, fast turrets and fast torpedoes. Aigle is the first real real 'heavy' destroyer leader at tier 6 and just looks a bit odd but all the stats check out. (unlike the T-61)

It's a 'pay to play first' premium like Gallant.

Year of CVs

 

Also we now have this AA BB monstrosity but WG still can't be arsed to give the AA destroyer Akizuki def AA.

Brilliant balancing when the class CVs are supposed to be a hard counter for now get a hard counter against that. Oh and of course it has hydro because DDs are also supposed to counter BBs.
