[SCRUB] aboomination Players 5,763 posts 16,940 battles Report post #52 Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) I take my harsh post back - the guns are indeed derpy but once I started to aim a bit higher I actually started to reliably hit the waterline. We'll see if it indeed was a case of l2p or if I was just lucky this time Once thing tho - the camera does always switch to one of the back guns - even tho I disabled automatic camera view switching. Happens only with this ship. This annoys the crap out of me! Manly Edited November 2, 2016 by aboomination Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BONUS] Bellegar Beta Tester 1,866 posts Report post #57 Posted November 3, 2016 You can tell you hate WG from your signature. Hehe fair point. Most of those ships were bought in the early days though, when I didn't have any issues with WG. Problem I have now is that I still love playing the game, but I hate WG for their lack of communication, their stupid decision making and their constant lies. But we have threads for that, so I won't go into that here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MercFHire Players 158 posts 2,771 battles Report post #58 Posted November 3, 2016 Is the ship supposed to sit so high in the water line? half of the torpedoe belt is showing above the waterline and with it only being 40mm, it's probably the biggest weakness along with the fore and aft decking.

[HOME] RobS80 [HOME] Weekend Tester 969 posts 10,664 battles Report post #59 Posted November 3, 2016 I bought mine within minutes of this thread being posted and have just played the first game in her. It was lovely haha. BUY ONE!! Tier 4 game, it laughed at a Myogi who only damaged me with his secondaries for 500 haha. Meanwhile I knocked lumps out of his broadside tier 4 with main battery and let the 5km secondaries open up too (22 hits for 3k damage). Luckily their Hosho ignored me completely.

[-IAN-] IanH755 Players 2,100 posts 7,141 battles Report post #60 Posted November 3, 2016 Played 4-5 games - All T4 games - 100% of my T3 ship games have been uptiered where I have less speed, less range, less HP, less AA etc etc and I'm just getting ****ed off with it. Is WG SERIOUSLY saying that there isn't enough T3 players with 25000 people playing to be able to make a single T3 game in 4-5 bloody matches, rubbish, horse crap, utter ****ing bull****. I hoped this would be the ship which got me back to enjoying the game as I really like the Nassau but instead, yet again, I leave the game frustrated and angry and not wanting to play any more. I'm not angry with myself or other players but with the MM system which is utterly broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drunken_Jedi Players 849 posts 2,954 battles Report post #61 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) I've had nothing but Tier III games in mine. She's just so OP for that tier it's not funny, Nikolai 2.0 I think. Had an awesome game tonight, even though it was a loss. Spent more time dodging "friendly" torpedoes than the actual enemy team. Especially with all the Weymouths and Caledons, no HE to worry about so it's just dings for days. Shame it had to be a loss, funny game. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ecwi8cl43rqd8e6/shot-16.11.03_22.22.24-0605.jpg?dl=0 Edited November 3, 2016 by Drunken_Jedi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically, you brought this to ruthlessly seal club new players, but MM didn't have enough lower tiers to allow you to do this, so its entirely WG's fault and NOTHING to do with [edited], driving them out of the game? Riiiiight.

[ST-EU] Trainspite Supertester, Players, Sailing Hamster 1,920 posts 4,621 battles Report post #64 Posted November 4, 2016 I've reported your post for abuse I've reported your post for abuse which violates WG Forum rule 2.1 items 3 & 5 and I expect Moderator action to edit the highlighted section or remove the post. Hope you feel happy with the result of your post. That is a fairly mild insult for the forum, and I don't expect much action would be taken, aside from maybe a warning. As for Konig Albert: She is good. Tier 4 game, no problems! Got into epic Albert vs Albert Secondary duel? No problem (Just have 'piritskenyer' in front of you in a Nassau to charge in first and die) . Killed Gojuadorai by secondary gun, so I guess I can trophy that. Not like I can really boast though, last time I was in a very similar tier 3 division, I got kaputted by creamgravy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akula971 Beta Tester 1,059 posts 14,810 battles Report post #65 Posted November 4, 2016 I'm not a BB player, but having heaps of fun in this regardless of the tier I'm in. If at tier 4, I just make sure I'm not in front to be focused fired on. And after the pain of playing the RN CL line, this a welcome relief. In fact I think the RN CL line was created to be make German BB players happy ;). So many cruisers sail broadside on, so many BBs not angling or firing HE. And it looks the part too. I do think it is a shame for those of us who like the WW1 era ships, that they are all such low tiers, where it is pew, pew pew over.. Its a pity there is not a separate game mode that gave more equipment slots, more consumables, slower rates of fire, bigger maps, no carriers, so that WW1 battles can be re-enacted without all the new players, if you get my drift. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DREAD] 1MajorKoenig Players 13,110 posts 7,885 battles Report post #69 Posted November 4, 2016 She is just sooooo beautiful!!! I don't care if she's OP or not - just having fun. And hell it is a T3 BB with shotgun dispersion and short range. What's the drama? Btw: proves that WG's "we can't have Kaiser as she was on T4 because of AA" wrong. Koenig Albert with 14km range would have been absolutely ok on T4 imo. However - just enjoy the ship and be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BABBY] StringWitch Beta Tester 1,608 posts Report post #73 Posted November 4, 2016 Is the ship supposed to sit so high in the water line? half of the torpedoe belt is showing above the waterline and with it only being 40mm, it's probably the biggest weakness along with the fore and aft decking. Yes. WG/Lesta raises every ship to light load level so they die easier and the game moves faster. Some ships (eg. Warspite, Nurnberg) get lowered (though still not as low as they really should be) if they are particularly vulnerable and players clamour enough about it. Albert is a really strong ship so I doubt she'll be lowered, but they did fix this for Tirpitz so you never know... in a year's time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
