Remember all the nubs who were arguing with me how great and worthy of 100 euros Hood was?

[22cm]

Guess what is the worst UK ship now?

Nah, it s still Emerald. Hood is only second to Emerald. 

And Hood has the favorable tier 7 MM, unlike Emeralds tier 5 crap MM, if not, Emerlad would beat him.

100 euros lol.

[ColonelPete]

You get a bit more than a ship for 100€.

If you only wanted the ship, you paid much less...

[RUSSIANBlAS]

I still don't have her, could doubloon her right now but I wish to wait for a T7 discount...

100% guarantee it's people buying her thinking it has RN BB HE.

100%

[shockinhockin]

Turns out your 100% wrong then doesn’t it.

 

i bought hood 100 bundle and i made use off all of it 

 

really enjoy the ship in game and as a collectors ship due to its  being an iconic piece of history and a decent in game ship 

 

Made use use offthe flags in the ranked season for the buffs. 

 

made use of the gold getting prem camo for the Royal Navy B.B. line and used the rest to convert exp to get up the line faster.

 

so yeah it did exactly what I set out to do with it. 

 

Exactly 

 

so take your toxic opinions and sod off with them 

 

oh and if you think I’m a NUB 

 

check out my stats of it makes you feel better 

 

what a pointless topic this is 

 

not to mention that hood was out before the RN HE shells where and the basic txt discription of the shells tells anyone with half a brain that

I honestly don't know who that answer is aimed at, but the correlation is pretty clear:
Hood was performing very well up until the recent RN BB release.

As soon as that happened, damage and WR drops like a rock.
So yeah, 100% guarantee that it's people buying the Hood because they can't directly buy the Nelson, and trying to HE spam.

 

 

 

To the bolded part: there are still people who get surprised that radars are a thing, go full broadside in all their ships for thousands of battles, and you honestly think your average player actually bothers reading an out-of-game text description of HE shells on a specific ship?

 Yes, it's each to their own really. Time is quite often money and I can't see any issue with someone buying big bundles to progress if they've got other things to do than solid grind lines.

 

I wouldn't spend that money personally but  no need to hate on those that do.

Now, the really smart ones use the 50% summer sales discount for that.

Exactly I can’t get my head around why this is still a toxic subject aimed at the people that hood at the e100 price. If it’s works for you great if it doesn’t don’t be an as s hat about it

The “really smart” ones partner was having a baby in summer so I had more important things to focus on than waiting around for a summer sale, Hence getting the bundle when I did as a future proof purchase. 

 

Would you like to make anymore assumptions?

I like her. Works great against cruisers.

How?Lol

RN BB HE only came out with the recent patch and the Hood was released ages ago..dear god.

 

Warning: The Hood is a great ship BUT its dispersion is on and off like a light switch. One minuite it can be glorious the next game it misses everything. It has a sigma of 2.0 and on paper a better dispersion than other tier 7's bb's but that does not seem to carry over in to the Game. Great for the nostalgia though especially looking forward to the Trafalgar event too...

Because people are idiots.
I'm seeing people in Iowas and Kurfusts fully broadside spamming HE at broadside cruisers 12km away all match, so expecting that kind of person to read out-of-game wikis is downright naive.

 

As I said, the Hood's average damage plunged by almost 10% since the RN BB release, despite the Hood's AP being perfect to counter RN BB armor. Not hard to guess why.

How does that effect the damage from the Hood? do you mean in relation to the damage caused by Rn BB's in general as a direct comparison? or its not living up to its damage potential against the new RN BB line?

Well i bought that 100€ set. With the premium in it and the dragon flags i grinded 3 tier IX ships to tier X and also (almost) enough fxp to get Missouri. Plus i bought Arizona (on discount) and Konig Albert for dubs. I also like the Hood itself.

Quite worth it i would say, especially compared to the current 100€ ship packages.

Well, when you from having most people use AP, to a part of them using regular, much less effective HE, damage does down.

 

Not in comparison of anything, just the average damage. It went down by almost 10% in the past few weeks.
That's not just random fluxation, it's a hefty change. There's a reason.

[Gnirf]

I bought the expensive bundle too, helped with the Biz mission etc, I must admit I have hardly played her since that mission ended but it has been full of activities, Dunk campaingn, yamamoto mission etc many of which excludes her, summer sales brought in several ships with XP boosters and new job makes things harder for Hood to be played do not regret buying her.

 

Certainly there will be offers on her later. But then with no other RN BB in sight it was good and another 12 p captain was good   to have for the RN line. When RN line arrived I had 4 10-12 p captains in store or at Warspite, Belfast and Hood. Now with Nelson also the 4 midtier trainers are nice to have for the captaingrinding.

that's interesting..so the He on the Hood has been nurfed unintentionally in a way by this?

There was no nerf to the ship or shells itself, but (in my opinion) more people using the Hood's completely regular HE thinking that it has the superior RN BB HE.

That's my take on it.
The Hood isn't the worst T7 BB, it hasn't changed, it's just an influx of people using it poorly.

At first glance I thought you're exaggerating a bit thus I checked stats and ... you're right !

I hope WG will "give some love" to Hood, it would be altogether fair and a boost in sales.

 

[ColonelPete]

She was fine in July.

Interestingly Warspite took a dive too.

I think Exotec is right.
