WG will wait for wallets to recover before tossing out 120€ Roma bundles. Thanks for the reply. Why do you use RN Roma? Regia Marina is RM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The N stands for the italian word for ship nave, like how S in HMS stands for his/her majesties ship. RN is a prefix like HMS and USS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am well aware what it stands for. You don't explain what the correct term is. My book 'Storia della Guerra nel Mediterraneo (1940-43)' does not use either prefix, but neither does it use one for the Royal Navy, so I am puzzled as to what is the correct prefix. I am happy to accept either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am happy to accept either. RN stands for "Regia Nave" ("Royal Ship", literally translated). It was the standard form for official documents regarding a ship (although at times they could be referred to with the ship type, for example "Regio Cacciatorpediniere", "Royal Destroyer").

Well all CC said the guns did not behave even with 1.9 and we are talking about some very expirienced players in some cases here. On the other hand WG has the cold hard datas of not only the CCs but also of ST so perhaps they see something we do not. 1.8 or 1.9 is for me no reason not to buy her when i can make 1.5 ships work with little trobble. I am happy about the change? No i think the conceilment is a much more unbalanced point of her than her gunperformence but i hold my Jugment for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The actual impact this change has is fairly minimal, I agree, the problem is the approach WG is taking here. On the other hand, the insane strength the ship has is incredible concealment (11.2km!) combined with great armor. Considering how good the armor already is, there's little reason for the ship to beat cruisers in concealment, not to mention the whole premise of a BB outspotting a Cruiser is absurd in my book. So instead of touching on the one thing I would consider too strong on the ship, they start fiddling with what I already consider a bit of a weakness.

It affects the tendency of shells to stick to the centre or veer off to the edge of the dispersion ellipse. With higher numbers meaning more tightly clustered shells towards the centre.

A concealment-geared BB is something highly unusual. When you deprive such a BB of its concealment, it's a bigger loss for it. Going to harp on what @affeks said, but the last part in particular is just wrong. Having a BB without concealment build is very rare, and there is something fundamentally wrong with the game when we are in a time where a cruiser can at best outspot a same tier BB with ~2 km margain (sometimes even less). And it's not like it is limited to just a few ships, pretty much every BB gets insane values from a concealment build. I mean in the König for example you can get 12 km concealment. That is almost the same as an Omaha, and you don't need to be an expert to see who has the upper hand when both get spotted at roughly the same time. I'm all up for diverse build options, but this whole concealment obsession is rapidly going downhill. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deBanfield Players 80 posts 3,420 battles Report post #496 Posted December 27, 2017 Apart from smokescreens, of course, I am anti concealment that is not natural, i.e., from storms, heavy seas, rain, snow and fog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
