HMS Hood Teaser

Any Bismarck camos are near useless now as Tirp is now a high earning Bismarck.

 

In fact if you were lucky enough to grind the Xmas Convoy Tirp camo you've got one of the best Free XP farmers in game.

Not really true, as Tirpitz trades torpedoes for sonar and a bit of AA. They are pretty much an example on how I would like premiums to be. Both equally viable while still different.

ichase wants hood to put at tier 8, give her never-done 1942 refit and make her AA battleship

 

 

...not sure if i should laugh or hitting my forehead...maybe both

I was a bit gutted having recently got Bismarck perm camo. However, with a 19 point skipper can farm elite XP in both. A lot of gold for to make use of the daily XP bonus but a silver lining.

I think that option (the proposed refit) should be left for when the tech tree BB line comes in.

 

cruisers are already struggling to maintain any type of role within the game. what Ichase proposes (to me) potentially makes tier 8 cruisers in general obsolete. as any role they can play either the BB or DD can pretty much already do it better

I'm going for both and a "What the [edited]are you doing iChase?"

ironically, iChase is the only youtuber criticizing Hood so hard

 

unfortunately he got a lot of attention for this, so he's coming up with the second video of that kind

 

maybe he should ask himself why other supertesters/youtubers have more success in playing Hood than he does.....

 

Hood-refit is stuff for a possible Admiral-class in BB-tree

the historical HMS Hood is a legend, and one of the most beautiful ships ever built, the refit is neither the one thing nor the other

 

and iCase is banned from my list of recommendable WoWS-channels....

If WG were to do a T8 AA British battleship, I'd rather see Vanguard, since she actually had great AA.

thats actually what everybody is saying in the comments - the ship he is talking about is just hms vanguard

Please don't tempt me so much.

I obtained an actual photograph from HMS Vanguard from the Imperial War Museum, Department of Photographs.

It is one of my most prized possessions.

Vanguard only has 8 DP turrets, not ideal for WOWS and don't forget we already have a full AA battlecruiser at tier 7. WG gave Gneisenau a 'Renown inspired' fantasy refit with arguably the best BB AA in the game.

 

Speaking of Renown the RN BC line is perfectly set up for AA duties. Imagine K2 with 12-16 x 4.5"/45 Mk 7 mounts, maybe throw in one or two 3"/70 guns for good measure. Bring on the Jets!

What happened to all that iShill he was being labelled as on this forum?

[Sonic_157]

 

Hey guys. It seems the 'Work in Progress' Hood had some changes. Source here.

 

 

-Rudder shifting time reduced by 15%.

 

-Firing range increased by 1km.

 

-Hood can heal 60% of penetration damage except citadel hits. However, it does NOT increase the total amount of HP healed (14%) per consumable.

 

-381mm AP‘s ricochet angle readjusted to 60°/67.5° and its detonator only takes 0.015 seconds.

Ones who are familiar to the game mechanic should recognize that Hood's shell characteristic is a hybrid of US and GB cruisers.

 

-Hood's Dual-purpose guns and medium-caliber AA guns no longer benefit from Defensive AA Fire consumable.

Instead, the prowess of her UP rockets will increase by 25 times (scatter planes in the covered circle) and the consumable lasts 60 seconds.

 

 

 

 

[Webley_Mark]

 

Not the change I wanted to see...

[Blitzkrieguk]

 

Not the change I wanted to see...

 

Quicker rudder, longer firing range, less ricochet's, half of the Warspites heal, shells arm quicker so less over pens. Not bad changes. Though I'm not sure what to make of the defensive AA change.

 

What were you wanting?

[NoirLotus]

Yeah the gun penetration was shitty bunt instead of correcting it, let's just screw more DD with 381 mm AP standard penetrations ...

[fallenkezef]

So it is an anti-CL/DD BC?

[Webley_Mark]

What were you wanting?

 

More sigma, more range for the UP, Warspite's Heal... This kind of things...

 

But at least, we'll have good AP. Even if the AA Defensive Fire is now only for yourself.

Tbh seems like that DAAF has been trashed on it tbh. But i'll be waiting to hear the reports on it.

WGN's efforts to make ships unique are more and more "overdone"

 

2.0 Sigma for guns would have been better than this freakish CA shell behavior for BB shells.

and this +2500% rocket power thing is just "Popeye eats spinachi" styled over-to-top nonsense

 

all of this comes right after the super-duper fast french speedracers ,

 

..... don't want to know what's next, but one thing is granted: we will have more and more "freaks" in this game !

 

[RUSSIANBlAS]

So Hood gets sAP in a higher calibre? Does that mean Cruisers have another apex predator hunting them at T7? As in the Scharn wasn't enough?

yes, u know they want to decrease BB population

 

....so lets give BBs more and more cool special abilities to shred CAs and DDs easily !

 

imagine the whole british BB-line will come up with this glorious special feature....
