[-END-] SgtToad Beta Tester 100 posts 5,912 battles Report post #1 Posted August 22, 2017 I am struggling in this tbh. I'm a decent BB player (not great), but am really struggling to deal much dmg in her. Whether its the short fuse I dont know, but like Hood, it seems very hard to land citadels, or consistent big damage, even against broadside targets. I'm getting a lot of overpens, a lot of pens, but virtually no citadels. Also, could they fix the target reticule so that it shows when your third turret can fire forward? Its own citadel is huge, if a BB sees you broadside you can take absolutely enormous damage. The heal is great, the HE is excellent, admittedly. How are people finding her?

[-END-] SgtToad Beta Tester 100 posts 5,912 battles Report post #4 Posted August 22, 2017 Just had a broadside new mex, 7km away, wasnt even moving - full salvo, no cit, did about 7k damage. Appalling. I was slightly worried when i saw WGs description of the RN as being good against "destroyers and cruisers" - no one sails BBs to target destroyers, and even normal BBs devastate cruisers. Still not landed a single cit on a BB, in 9 games... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[KLUNJ] bushwacker001 [KLUNJ] Players 2,870 posts Report post #12 Posted August 22, 2017 Just had a quick (first) battle in Co-op while at work lunch. Seems to citadel cruisers at will but came head on with the enemy Nelson and citadeled her twice through the front from about 6km. I know it was a bit close and advised against but co-op is for full ahead charge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think so. Since im using HE 90% of time (ok sometimes AP is okay on boardsides) my results with her are muuuuuch better. Look on my stats during last 60 day with her and compare it with yours. My overal stats are screwed because I was using AP in past.... But continue with AP, it will be nice to meet you one day Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-END-] SgtToad Beta Tester 100 posts 5,912 battles Report post #20 Posted August 22, 2017 I am quite close to giving up with AP on this ship. Will give HE a go. I hope this is not WGs idea of the "gimmick" for the RN BBs - HE. Flamu describes the guns as "consistent", but watching his vids he too does very little damage to enemy BBs with it, even a Fuso. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
