King George V - wtf is wrong with that ship ??

[Fizzy_Odin]

So does this ship have armor ??  because he don't have that nice 380mm belt armor that game say it have - every shoot from BB is 15.000 DAM, and it can not endure 35sec of battle with 3 cruiser class like Aoba, Nurnberg , Leander - no metter angle or distance, I have try it all  !?!?!?!??!?!

So t5 Iron Duke vs t7 BBs and cruiser - he can take DAM and can enudre but KGV - hmmm Yorck have far better armor than KGV so I don't know wtf is wrong with that ship !?????

[Tyrendian89]

with the ship? nothing. with you? a lot, apparently.

[elblancogringo]

Well, according to warship today, King George V has 53.54% winrate, 64682 average damage and 1474 average xp per game.

I would say this ship is perfectly fine, even more, that she is very strong.

You probably do something wrong.

[GulvkluderGuld]

I oneshot a New Orleans class CA last week (detonation) with myKGV 14' shell.

AP on CAs is just as deadly as on all other BBs. I've oneshot deleted leanders, aobas and Nurnbergs.

General stats are fine.

Fighting three CAs at a time IS a bit more than any T7 bb is made for, but it can be done.

 

Nothing is wrong with its tankiness. I've taken her into even fights of 2-3 BB and 1-2 CA and done well. One game I tanked 2 bismarcks, a nagato, a pensacola and a schors, and was continually on fire for three repair consumables time. What happened: deleted the pensa alone, did 2 cits to schors and team took him down, sunk the bismarck rushing me with a lot of team help, same with the nagato (i did around 20k to both), then finished off the last bismarck at 1/3 hp.

End result: tanked 3 mio dmg, dreadnought achievement and 100k plus dmg.

 

The nagato with its incredible guns was the most dangeous opponent (he rushed my flank sub 10 km) and can easily do 10-15k dmg, but proper angling and shooting my belt, he did 3-5k volleys. It was quite pathetic. Shooting the superstructure would yield better results, but hardly 15k. Sounds like you do smth wrong (too much broadside or T9 opponents too close).

 

KGV wants to stand off and spam he from 12+ km or close to 10 km vs CAs and delete them with AP

[JG4_sKylon]

I need to talk to my QE which apparently is not able to pen a KGV. All shells making contact were bounced though she was showing the broadside.

[Fizzy_Odin]

Every shoot I take form BB it is 8000hp minimum from 1 shell absolutly no meter what angle I take, 11 lost in row with him today, I didn't get killed that easy in f. Schors - this is by far for me worst ship in the game - I didn't ever play more garbage ship than this pi.of.crap...

 

[Chaos_Umbra]

There is something wrong with the Ship... it should be tier 8 and have the 25mm sections replaced with the correct 32mm armor.

[iJoby]

KGV, tis good ship matey. 2nd best of its Tier.

[Lord_Holland_of_Wessex]

Aye, You have to play it as heavy cruiser with a heal imo.

[jss78]

Nothing wrong with it, was a high point in the progression for me.

 

QE on the other hand felt like a neutered version of Warspite. Monarch kind of felt balanced for tier, but I really struggled with it vs. T10's (90% of games). Didn't feel like it had that edge to hack it in that environment. And Lion then straight OP of course...

 

 

[Ferry_25]

Well I must say I need to get the hang of it too. It is supposed to be a "fire king." Well for me that's very much true. On the recieving end. I can hardly remember a moment after the 5th minute not being on fire. Dealing them is another matter entirely. Guess it must have been RNG bad luck. Also suddenly I'm having a hard time hitting targets. (even for my standards...). Granted: only did 3 battles so far, so I'll need more practise, but it feels very weird in gameplay. Is there something "special" about the guns regarding aiming? I tempt to over- or undershoot a lot.

[AmazingBeaver]

lmfao it is one of the strongest BB's out there. Your armor is at your belt, any hits you take on your bow, aft or deck is gonna end up with moderate to heavy damage, in matter of fact this isn't a ship that should do tanking, she's fast HE slinging easy mode damage dealer, who can get away with showing broadsides, while having weak deck armor and AA.

[Gnirf]

The ship is strong but dependant on ammoswitching its AP is mediocre naturally when you have played QE/warspite earlier so it is lots of switching, uptiered she struggles a bit with 14-inch guns but overall very good

[Synth_FG]

I love KGV she's everything I want from a battleship

Monarch on the other hand is feeling a little of a let down

Do you have ship or just talking abut it like 80% of you here - to KGV also looked like perfect ship till I get to it, Armor scheme and numbers are just random [edited] in this game because it don't stand by it - you can have armor like Yorck and you will have some very good armor and wont take to much and you will be able to take a lot and than you have KGV with 380mm armor belt and you are like Kirov ( you won't get citadels but you will get 8000hp shoot every 3rd shell )

Ship is like full opposite of Scharnhorst 

[Fizzy_Odin]

i just love it

Yes I've had the ship for a week or something, running with 115k average damage and 70% winrate. It is so OP I already have the exp Monarch, one of the fastest grind I've done. If you try to play KGV like a Scharnost, you'll fail miserably.

[lethalbizzell]

That ship is broken, angling does more harm than good.... belt armour is hit and miss.... such a risk its great when it works but if they hit citadel.....

 

front on it is very very weak.....

 

needs looking at and fixing asap

 

its very good otherwise.

 

Not competitive though.... just too inconsistent in performance 1 v 1

a weekend post about how bad a RN BB is.

OKKKKKKKK

just this one, other are great - Orion is one of the best ship in game :)

[RUSSIANBlAS]

It's an excellent ship...

 

As others have said it's a medium range ship. AP most of the time unless you are vs angled BB then they burn very easily under HE.

 

The belt armour does work, I've utilised it and had enemy ones stop my BB AP. It's just that everything else other than the belt is a bit of a joke unlike the German T7 sisters which are far more resistant.

 

Monarch is a very similar ship with better armour and higher calibre, I imagine the Lion again is similar but again with improvements in armour, gun and finally heal. 

 

Any new line of ship will take some time to adjust to. I've only recently understood French Cruisers and German DDs. Neither suck...

I dont like it either but its not a bad ship. Proper angling works. From which BBs do you get those salvos?

 

Edit: QE is a far better ship than KG V. But of course this is my opinion.

[beercrazy]

I love the ship and seem to do ok in it but I will admit its armour is a bit weird where if you angle it then for some reason you seem to take massive damage

its more than likely just basic rng taking a massive dump on you as to why this happens but either way the guns and fire chance make up for its weird armour rng

the only thing wrong with the ship is that it is "Op as F***"

 

if you cant make it work you should see the doctor cause you caught a serious case of "L2P" but dont be affraid it can be cured.....

[woppy101]

This is the one ship where you don’t want to angle, you want to give a perfect broadside so your belt takes the brunt of the hits
