>>144264310
Too similar to NoCar ))

>>144258868
No, it's really not that bad.
It's just got dodgy armor, the range and speed are mediocre and the turret traverse is close to the worst in the game, outside of that the guns are really good, it turns well, and has decent enough AA.
I enjoy mine quite a bit, but if I could go back I probably wouldn't have bought it for the price I did.

Stats-kun, are you there? Did you get enough useful information from the previous thread?

>>144266648
Whoever wants to answer is still welcome to. The current sample size is not particularly large but that's fine. Making gross overgeneralizations based off of an underpowered study is what makes statistics fun, after all.

I don't think the people who make the meta so cancerous would actually notice consciously.

>>144267941
When you're losing dosh on 120k+ damage victories with all the credit bonuses possible just because you lost only half of your health, it's sure as hell going to be putting some people off being too aggressive.
Even if it's not all, just getting some people more willing to risk scratching their paint would be a start. Not to mention the fact that top tier MM in general is pretty shitty because there's just not that many people there, which is why games keep ending up with something like an Iowa v Yamato as their team's top tier BBs.

Is a Gun Shimakaze/Ghetto Khabarovsk setup viable? I'm tempted. It's not like the ship isn't at the bottom of the dog pile as is, and with the range extension mod it should definitely be enough to stealth fire.

>>144267941
It's really not about the costs in the end. What ruins T10 is the increased range of everything. You have to stay longer through enemy fire to make a push. Even with the increased health pools, it's not enough.

Reduced repair costs help, but it's only treating a symptom, not the illness. If you pasted T8 stats on all the T10 ships, the tier would suddenly be playable, maybe even fun.

>>144269871
If you pasted the T8 stats on the T10 ships it would remove half of the reason that people play it. People like the bigger numbers.
Only some of the bigger numbers are worse for the game than others, like ranges on guns and previously torpedoes, and fire chances in some cases.

>>144270186
It's just an example. Of course it'd have to be done more throughly.

There'd have to be an increase in damage output and health, but less extreme than it is now.

Range needs to stay at T8 levels. Anything more than 21km is pointless and just justifies terrible practices and stale gameplay. And while at it, reduce the speed on Yamato's shells. I don't know the muzzle values, but they do travel very fast, even faster than what the numbers suggest. This makes cruiser dodging much more difficult than in previous tiers, and it wouldn't be necessary if she didn't have 26km range..

For Iowa Upgrades: Accurancy,Reload or AA?

>>144271172
Accuracy
you can already buff the AA in a bunch of other ways

CAsuals, to work at their maximum potential need very good map/situational awareness and good use of covering and angling.
While an average baBBie who ignores most of that can still do better than an equally skilled CAsual and just needs to click at distant targets who can barely react if they're slighty competent and not involved in other fights.
A "good" click from a baBBie still deals more damage than a couple of salvos, even if you're angled, not to mention all the times you get citpenned through the stern.

Since the new AA buffs, CVnts need to work a lot to kill non-retarded players who cover each others, baDDies instead are the easiest class to play as they mostly just have to cap with their invisibility cloak and rarely fight other DDs which are the only real counter to them.
The rest of the time is spent clicking a white sector from 10 kilometers, safe and unseen and occasionally shooting their flamethrowers from white clouds.

I'm a CAsual myself and I find it the easiest class to play. Weave between islands and/or team mates, using them as shields, shoot distracted enemies, constantly set BBs alight, and GTFO when the situation becomes too hot. If you play a CA right, BBs, DD,s and CVs can't do anything to you. The only reason people think CAs are "hard" is because idiots expose their sides in the Pensa/Aoba/Whatever and proceed to get penetrated mercilessly, which lowers the average damage statistic for that ship.

No, you actually have enough range, good AP, backup torps and good sonar if you have vigilance.

The other 3 T8 cruisers have plenty already. Any extra range is just a cushion bad players who can't in evasive maneuvers and proper positioning need to not get sunk as often as they do.

With suicidal range. Useful only when you're already dead, which means you got into a bad position. IJN torps are better because you can use them to cover your retreat.

>>144318832
He's kinda right but for the wrong reasons.

Bringing such a fuckhuge target in close really only ends in this in the current T10 meta. Yamato is too fucking fat and slow to do anything other than reverse, sit still, or go full speed ahead. It can't turn away because it just risks getting totally reamed by a BB. It cant actually go full speed ahead into the enemy team because no only will it be burned down, it will get torped hard.

So it has to make use of its fucklong range. It has to keep its distance because its too fucking big and slow to evade or turn away and leave when shit hits the fan.

Also, in general that whole fucking tier is bullshit. The fact everything in the tier has insanely long gun ranges compared to previous tiers just fucks the whole gameplay experience in the ass. I think getting rid of the range mod for cruisers and nerfing the fuck out of hotel's range to like Amagi levels would be awesome and make the tier fun like previous tiers.

>>144321091

>>144321931
Instead of nerfing the tomato's range, they should offer smaller maps to TX players.
Like estuary

The island would make it difficult to shoot across the map, forcing closer engagements

>>144318548
That's all you need anon.
Make the Fuhrer proud.

>>144322687
Yeah? And what's the fucking problem with that? Amagi does fucking excellent with that range.

>>144322915
That would make the lives of cruisers more miserable. Yamato shells are faster than in previous tiers to compensate for the extra range. So evading them at mid range is much more difficult, if not impossible, as a cruiser.

Just nerf BB ranges to a max of 21km, remove range upgrade on cruisers and DD's. Make Yamato's shells as fast as the previous tiers. Might have to tone down Des moines a little bit now that the engagements at which she's the most comfy happen more often. Maybe reduce Zao fire chance a little to.

Just make it T8 with more damage and HP. It should make the tier fun again.

>>144322915
That wouldn't fix the underlying problem, that would just make for a shitty experience.

Hotspot works fine for T8 and it's a large and dynamic map. It works fine because cruisers dont all have 18km+ range flamethrowers and hotels Amagi dont have 26km range death star guns. Forcing big guns with lots of range onto a small map will just make the whole experience a massive fuck you to anything large and slow.

>>144322986
I mean, I'm totally fine with the idea of nerfing all the ranges to the similar ranges that the T8s get, but there's something about giving the Yamato worse range than a ship that predates WWI which is kind of fucked up.

>>144323773
actually, just remove the range upgrade outright. It's not necessary at T8, it will not be necessary at T9-10 if everything is keeping their T8 ranges.

>>144323773
Yamato's shells are slow though, they just seem fast because they have a railgun-tier arc.
You want fast?
Try Moskva's 980m/s or Zao's 920m/s HE compared to Yamato's 800m/s

>>144322915
>put them all on smaller maps
>BBs get even more horribly fucked by flamethrowers and torps
>CAs get even more horribly fucked by BB citpens
>DDs get even more horribly fucked with their shitty detection ranges and machinegun cruisers and CV squadrons flooding the map

>>144323898
21 km should be more than enough. I don't have any numbers on Yamato's pagoda height, but I doubt it's any taller than Fuso's. If anything, keep her tight spread since her rangefinder is much more wide than any other BB.

If it were up to me, I'd also reduce her shell damage to be only slightly better than 16 inchers, but give her faster turret rotation as compensation.

>>144323979
Well, I mean fast when compared against other BB's.

But now that you mention it, cruisers would need a shell speed nerf. Faster than T8, but less than it is currently.

>>144324110
>BBs spend less time in CA's flame thrower range to be able to nuke them

Because the number of players in the server who can get 100k average on BATTLESHIPS below T9-10 is very limited.

You're just shitting up on a good portion of very good players who are well above the average but fall short of 100k between T6 to T8. Not to mention you're just dismissing DD/CA players.

I won't even mention carriers, because those are incredibly easy to get 100k from T6 upwards.

>Ranked camo
I have about 30 ranked camos left from project R, and I have no forseeable use for them. XP has rarely ever been an issue since credits are the limiting resource in this game.
>Doubloons
Those are always nice but I already have some sitting around, and don't have much issue purchasing a mere 3500 doubloons.
>Flags
I played a bit of ranked in the previous season, up to rank 6 on the last one. I have plenty of flags: about 200 at worst for some of the rare ones (free XP, witherer, etc) which I never use, to 400+ for others. I'm pretty ok for a while.

The only thing that might convince me to play up to rank 1 is the premium ship. And even that would take me at least two seasons. I would rather have fun with /wowsg/ friendos than slog through 100 matches of DD spam and overly stressed out team mates complaining even more about everything.

Also, I predict this season will be particularly annoying for DD play, since it will be flooded with DD's. Everyone will be doing a mad dash every match to get the most caps in order to not lose a star in the case of a defeat.

No.
I initially thought it was because the Prinz Eugen had it's stern blown off by a torpedo (or was it a mine?) and the reconstructed stern had no decoration.
But then again, i don't know if the Admiral Hipper ingame is meant represent the whole class of ships, and since hull C is not the Prinz Eugen i am not sure about that.

>>144333258
Also, the AA placement of hull C reminds that of late war Prinz Eugen, although maybe Hipper had the same, not sure about that.

>>144333258
Hipper is 100% not meant to be representing ships like the Prinz, otherwise it wouldn't have such glaring differences like the Atlantic hulls.
Chances are they probably want to release the Prinz as a premium and as such want it to be as different as possible from the tech tree equivalent.

kek this is what bronies believe

>>144331247
>ranked camo, doubloons, flags etc
I'm not a poorfag so 15 dollars of dubloons does not interest me, I can also buy goy camo if I need it for some stupid reason.

Ranked is terrible.

>>144334160
good goy, play random battles and get nothing back!

>>144334287
But I can actually make progress on ship lines instead of playing a specific boat.

>>144334154
It's what anyone with a brain believes.
They already have most of the work done, the just need to alter the hipper a bit and slap the word Prinz on there and they can put it up on the shop with a $60 price tag because they know a horde of weebs will buy the same crappy ship they could have unlocked for free.
But just keep it up with the buzzwords if it makes you feel better.

>>144334160
Good goy! Give WG your money when you could get the same thing with a little effort. All according to plan.

>>144336327
I can play 10 games, at most, everyday. It takes around 100 games for a 60%'er to get to rank 1. That's about two weeks, more if you count 20 minute queues, of entirely playing ranked.

In that time, I could be leveling up ships and playing some of the many non-T7 ships I enjoy playing. All of that while having fun with /wowsg/ friendos.

So yeah, fuck ranked. My fun is more valuable than 17 dollaridoos worth of doubloons.

No. See >>144338743
Our DDs and cruisers were retards and then I spent the rest of the match being set on fire by things I can't see while the other Nagato got in an argument with other people about whether or not it's important to stay together in this game mode.

>>144340705
The "secret" is to just play destroyers, do as much damage as possible to other destroyers, and cap the most. Preferably alone.
This means that sometimes you have to let the enemy take the cap back, so you can get more experience taking it back too.

Which is why this season will see massive DD spam the higher you go.

Kek why must the shitters silence the best
