[NAN0] HaachamaShipping Players 8,474 posts 10,052 battles Report post #8953 Posted February 23, 2018 Guess Pensacola will join the Graf Spee as an alpha strike monster, just with the damage spread out over more shells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That turret traverse on such a nimble CA is going to be very awkward. slow turrets on nimble ships is probably one of the most infuriating things to play i get flashbacks of the old warspite.... while it may be balanced its NOT FUN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coupled that with 14km range and you have a painful ship to play...At least Myoko has big HP pool, better armoured and 16 km range to compensate for its slow traverse. Meanwhile Molotov outguns it and has torps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CR33D] fumtu [CR33D] Players 3,842 posts 38,978 battles Report post #8960 Posted February 24, 2018 As it seems that WG Dev Blog gives stats for stock hull of regular ships I don't see anything wrong here so far. SLC stock hull is basically down-tiered Pepsicola stock hull. Question is what will be changes to top hull if any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humorpalanta ∞ Players 2,025 posts 13,785 battles Report post #8961 Posted February 24, 2018 So Pepsicola is renamed to "avoid problems". Aha. Sure. Like hentai is "art". I bet there is going to be a Pepsicola premium in the next year. Because the Sharkbait is not enough! BTW I still don't understand the problem with Pepsicola in its place. It is a good ship and well balanced right now. One just gotta learn the playstyle and boom top XP all the time even in T9 games. IMHO they are ruining the ship with this downtiering.

There can't be two ships with the same name in the game. During IJN DD test version of T8 Kagero was named Nowaki, test version of T6 Fubuki was Ayanamy, during Soviet DD split T8 test version of Kiev is named Yerevan. We can expect the same this time for Cleveland, New Orleans and Baltimore. And of course for Pepsi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T8 stock NO has 9s rudder shift, T7 stock Astoria also has 9s rudder shift. Same for Pepsi and SLC. And same for range. Values listed on WG Dev Blog are for stock hull not top hull. So far range and rudder shift on both Pepsi/SLC and NO/Astoria will stay the same as current versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see how you can reach 5,6s from 9s. Might be missing something though... edit: and on Indy it's 7,3s. ..and 4.1s on NO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that is balanced, then i want a reload buff for the graff spee. Why? Graf Spee isn't about DPM, it's about sturdiness and one-shotting cruisers that present broadside. You might not have 10 guns, but you got heals and a good bit more hp. Pensacola might have a heavy broadside, but it frankly is not a very survivable ship.

[BRITS] Origin47 Beta Tester 434 posts 10,686 battles Report post #8974 Posted February 24, 2018 Graff Spee sturdy? against DD ap maybe And speaking about cruisers with repair party, Atago has it and it needs a reload buff (16 secs is too slow). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NAN0] HaachamaShipping Players 8,474 posts 10,052 battles Report post #8975 Posted February 24, 2018 It can bounce cruiser AP too, if angled, it obviously eats citadels when not. But it's got a lot of hp and repair party. So, sure, you are no BB, but I'd say no other T6 cruiser can boast to be able to take as much of a beating.
