Claiming.

RN Cruisers are fucking trash.

Nice flattop. It'd be a shame if something happened to it

Sometimes

I agree, worst Cruiser line.

>remember that specific time when I...

Those games are so rare for me. I either get deleted right away or I accomplish nothing because I'm too careful.
It's why I like German BBs the best, I'm a high risk, high reward kind of guy. I like to get in there and tear shit up.

>German BB
>High risk.
Wut?

Is tier 3 fun?

North Carolina's 15k no citadel volleys say hi.

So shit any mediocre player could do well in it.

What's good 5th skill on USN battlecruisers?

Exactly. North Carolina's game uninstalling volleys only do 15k to potato kraut BB players tanking with their sides.

Holy fuck, why is EU server so shit?

The worst Alabama players on SEA are better than the average Alabama players on EU, and the average Alabama players on SEA are better than the best Alabama players on EU.

Also, why does Warships.Today show that nobody on NA server has the ship?

AR or DE like every cruiser :^)

>tfw benis

>877 WTR

holy fuck, what a shitter

wtf, hold on a sec. Is WTR different for each server? Is there a scale based on averages or something?

Because looking at the numbers, why does someone on EU with 1235 WTR have a much lower WR/KD/etc compared to someone on SEA with 1254 WTR? Shouldn't the numbers be roughly the same?

It's based on server average. SEA is harder to play on.

>b-but muh secondaries
Top jej, any BB will demolish you long before those puny guns manage to actually do some serious damage.

Don't think too much into it, the sample sizes are too small.

I guess you could draw from this that SEA players win games, while EU players like to farm damage. The damage numbers seem to be slightly higher for EU, but the EU winrate numbers are abysmal.

Here is RU server for comparison.

Apparently NA supertesters were never ever handed out Alabamas or something.

Tier VIII Italian Littorio Class BB Roma when?

>78.5MJ
Looks like 37 years of development of naval artillery did nothing for France.
WG do you hate Frogs, or what?

Is there any reason not to sell stock modules?

Not really, no.
The only ones I can think of having much point in keeping is stuff like the US DD B/C hulls for if you want to switch between them.

A-are we ignoring the fact that OP posted a picture of Nelson and called it "dunkek at sail"???

Yes, they also edited out the NA clans, they're clearly just shitposting.

I want my Andrea Doria (ex-Navy Fielder).

Kashy is a good girl!

Unironically bought Hipper. What am I in for?

She's okay, just nothing amazing. You can do well and have fun in her though.

Can I realiably AP like in Pensacola or should I just give in to HE spam?

Against stuff that gives you broadside, sure, you can do pretty good damage. The problem is that despite good AP being the German Cruiser 'thing' their AP is actually kind of crap in practice because it has trouble penetrating as soon as stuff starts angling, so you're sometimes forced to spam HE. You'll have to use both pretty regularly, and you'll get used to when to switch between them after playing her for a bit.

Ok. Thank you kind user.

Reminder that ducks are meant to be fed

Nein

...

What is the counter to balans))) dds?

radar and cruisers with good shell arcs

or 12 gun bbs. Scharnhorst isn't bad either due to the reload.

Really RU DDs are cruisers with amazing agility and no citadels. They are retardedly OP.

Carriers.

The Moskva.

ah yes another fucking balans RU ship.

Fucking thing is invulnerable to even yamato shots when it's angled.

Delicious duckies

>tfw 2x5 8km torps on Kiev with 0.1 invisitorp window

>t8 just means everything's bigger, fatter, and slower
>more HP-more dmg to farm
>don't even smoke, nothing can hit me anyway
I am virtually unstoppable. They can't keep getting away with this blatant ))))

Missouri :^)

If they can get away with the Defender they can get away with this, at least this ))) is free.

>every single Belfast I met today was an absolute retard
I love how even the most OP ships are useless in the hands of the braindead.

Just like the E-25 in tonks

>when you get into randomly dropped torps that weren't even aimed at you

Just WASD lmao

I blame Flamu for shilling this ship as THE doom machine so now every bot has to buy one.

>playing in a 3 man div
>someone on the enemy team says "BOTES?"
>we say "yes, BOTES"
>they say "hi 4ch"

wtf, how do they know?

it was even some random that we don't know too

Yep, that's me.
t. maido21

you mean MAIDOLL

Was firing from a smoke even a thing irl?

I love tears of the desert, it is my favourite map.

okay LunaticRed

Nice bait comrade.

My penis is ded.

Let me help

I blame everything on LunaticRed and Flamu

Not playing

Because [BOTES] is mentioned in the Clans section of this thread. I'd join but I'm a really bad player.
is a fake.

t. the real maido21

Don't join BOTES, LunaticRed is in the clan, and all he ever does in the clan chat is complain about Wavecave and Anumati.

>Stealth fire heavily nerfed
Should I just sell all my dd's or wait until they dwindle from the game and WG realises its mistake ?

Dunno what those are but OK.
t. 48% WR

I like t10 matches while playing t8 cruisers :3

Uh? I haven't played recently, how did they nerf it?

how do I fix my planes?

I can't order them around, look at my cursor, I tried landing them and resetting them, but it doesnt work

You have ordered them to escort your ship.
Press the bloody F and they will land.

no shit

I've done this.

i cannot get them to move I've tried resetting them

i don't know, you're doing something wrong or the UI is just shitting on you.

I was able to get them to take my orders by selecting them all and landing them all but now I can't select single squadrons, I have to drop them all and command them all at once

now they're fucked again

I can't fix them this time

>HOTEL
Problem spotted

Try tapping Shift or Alt.

yeah it was the F key

I had to launch them by clicking on the water, not F

if I pressed F it fucked their orders up.

Leaks reported by TAP suggest that in the next patch, invisifire will be removed. That said, anything could change and the leaks are probably not final.

>stealth fire nerfed
>BB range buffed
they don't even hide it anymore

You see comrade, nobody would whine that BB are overpowered, if only BB are left in game

>French BB line still not released

I wouldn't be surprised if their great masterplan to fix BB meta would be introducing extra balans)) soviet BBs powercreeping everything, in hopes that people who play other battleships would stop playing them in favour of other classes instead of just switching to the FOTM.

I am also wating for them impatiently.
t. khabarovsk

Do they even have any plans beyond 6-7 month?

hehe, we had a bit of that with [No Botes Allowed]

Welcome to having your fleet name in the OP consistantly.

>)))) new blueprint being of found says glorious motherland BB's were going to be equipped with 4*4 500mm guns, 400mm belt, speed boost and/or smoke generators

Don't give them ideas

WG has mostly avoided blatant powercreep in WoWS so far.

On the other hand, they made some stupidly OP prems.

In theory, yes.
In practice, release schedules ca get fucked up, delayed or shifted around.

>y avoided blatant powercreep
Minotaur and Des Moines?
Minotaur has better DPM, more stealth, better heal, more AA (until Des Moines uses Def.AA) better turning....

!And not of forgetting, t5/6 of having optional sidegrade of Aviation Battleship! Of having the firepower of BB and of strikings powers of CV!

>WG has mostly avoided blatant powercreep in WoWS so far
When german BB's released, they were top of their tier in every tier, even above prems in some cases.

But it cant bow on tank.

And Des Memes can only Bisco. Giant difference

First they came for the carriers, and I did not speak out because I did not play carriers. Then they came for the destroyers, and I did not speak out because I did not play destroyers. Then they came for the cruisers, and there was no one left to speak for me. Wargaming is beyond incompetent if they actually planned to lower the BB population.

i shit on bbs with my carriers, dds, and my cruisers

Learn to set fires and flood.

TAIGEI WHEN

Oppai underage!
