Heartcatch posted:I still think it looks a lot like Kirov. hmm  ooohh Wikipedia to the rescue wikipedia posted:Following the October Revolution and the subsequent Russian Civil War, Soviet industry was not capable of designing large, complex warships by itself and sought foreign assistance. The Ansaldo company provided plans for the contemporary Raimondo Montecuccoli-class cruisers and a design displacing 7,200 tonnes (7,086 long tons) and armed with six 180-millimetre (7.1 in) guns in twin turrets was produced in 1933. The Italians guaranteed that the cruiser could make 37 knots (69 km/h; 43 mph) on trials if the size was kept under the 7200-tonne limit. The designer of the new turret managed to persuade his superiors that he could fit triple turrets to the ship while keeping it within the specified limit, and this design was approved in November 1934 as the Project 26.[1] Pacra fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Mar 8, 2017 |

So it's fast, it could have up to 100mm of armor, and the guns could be okay or they could be absolute trash (Italian barrel designs in real life were bad meaning the accuracy left a lot to be desired).

Gives us an idea of what will be where in the tree at least, say Piemonte T2, Nino Bixio T3, Alberto da Giussano T5, Raimondo Montecuccoli T6 [Duca d'Aosta premium T6], and Luigi di Savoia Duca Degli Abruzzi T7

I'd like the destroyers, but I have a feeling that more people want Roma than they want Maestrale. Engine boost is super likely to be the Italian gimmick, I agree.

What's a good build for a North Carolina, I was considering either a stealth build like this Priority Target Expert Marksman Basics of Survivabilty Concealment Expert with Main Armament Modification 1 AA Gun Modification 2 Damage Control 1 Damage Control 2 Concealment Modification or a more Offensive/AA build like Direction Center for Catapult Aircraft Expert Marksman Basic Firing Training Advanced Firing Training with Main Armament Modification 1 AA Gun Modification 2 Damage Control 1 Steering Gear Modification Target Acquisition System Modification

Aramoro posted:What's a good build for a North Carolina, I was considering either a stealth build like this I would say you want priority target or preventative maintenance, expert marksman, then either superintendent if you're like me and burn through all your heals often, or vigilance if you want advance warning of torpedoes, and concealment. Your stealth build modules look okay but I would be tempted to put the rudder shift mod in.

Aramoro posted:What's a good build for a North Carolina, I was considering either a stealth build like this Wouldn't bother with priority target on a BB. Personally enjoy preventive maintenance to further try to prevent the loss of those turrets (but both are okay). Expert marksman is good. Then you'll pretty much always want superintendent as that will give you an extra heal charge, which is invaluable. Concealment expert is good, because a stealth NC is pretty funny. Further options when you have points to spare are vigilance, AFT, and such. Personally wouldn't bother with an AA build right now (primarily), with the state CVs are in. Having said that, I would pick: Main Armament Modification 1 AA Gun Modification 2 Damage Control 1 Steering Gear Modification Concealment Modification MAM 1 is a no-brainer, AA gun mod 2 is good because you honestly don't need more range or turret traverse at the cost of reload speed. Steering gear is almost necessary, and even more so with the Iowa and Montana. Concealment modification, because despite WG's preachings there is still no better choice. Also TAM is just dumb.

Iceshade posted:Also TAM is just dumb. I'm not 100% clear what TASM does, it just seemed like a good idea to spot torps from further out. I hadn't noticed how slow the rudder shift on the NC was so that's definitely in. I'll go for Preventive Maintenance Expert Marksman Superintendent Concealment Expert for the first 10 then then Vigilance after that.

I find TAM pretty useful, I'm always close to action and don't really use the extra concealment in a battleship. Being able to spot torps and see in smoke to 3km (instead of 2) is pretty handy.

As a NavyField refugee, I'm a little dismayed by the spread of the guns on my ships, and there doesn't seem to be any modules or skills or anything that improves that. Am I missing something or is everything a shotgun in this game?

Am I missing something or is everything a shotgun in this game? Pray to RNGesus. Edit: Seriously, the plotting room helps but a lot of this game comes down to RNG. ALso the ships themselves have a value that assists with the veritcal dispersion called Sigma and some ships are therefore inherently more accurate than others in the veritcal plane but even with that and plotting room you'll find that in reality your ship is still aiming at a general area and your shells will land at random spots within that area. This is a simplistic explanation, but the RNG is real. Ice Fist fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Mar 8, 2017 |

fatman1683 posted:Thanks for the clarification. Play boats you think are cool because you will inevitably be annoyed by gun dispersion regardless. It's more of an annoyance the longer your reload time is. So when you're driving a battleship and you reload once every half a minute and you get a crazy dispersion that gets you a bunch of overpens or something you're going to get pretty annoyed. The balance to this is when everything works out you can delete ships off the map in a single salvo. The American battleships have some ships that have excellent sigma values. They also have some ships like the New Mexico with lovely Sigma values. This is usually balanced out by having a greater number of guns. So like the Colorado starting with the B hull had great dispersion but it has 8 guns. The New Mexico has lovely dispersion but it has 12. It's really all over the map, so personally I don't see a point in going for the one that has the best numbers.

fatman1683 posted:Thanks for the clarification. Definitely Russian cruisers. Their guns from T5+ are all quite accurate high velocity flame throwers with typically decent rates of fire, too. Battleship wise, Japanese BBs have typically good accuracy, and Yamato has the best in game. US North Carolina and Iowa are close seconds though. Steer clear of German BBs, because their poo poo is all awful shotguns. All the low tier BBs are going to be extremely poo poo accuracy wise though.

fatman1683 posted:How does that balance out American battleships vs everybody else's? Are American guns going to be less accurate until tier 9? American battleships get a different mod instead, that increases main battery range, secondary range, and secondary dispersion, which is more important for New Mexico and Colorado, as their short main gun range is often more of a problem than their accuracy. When people call any battleship accurate, it's important to understand that in relative terms - every battleship is inaccurate, some are just marginally less inaccurate than others; it's a pretty razor thin difference between most of them in practical terms. DDs > CLs > CAs > BBs for accuracy in relative terms, as the least accurate cruiser is more accurate than the most accurate battleship.

I'm not disappointed with the emphasis on new cruisers as the next line push, plus the RM d'Aosta, but it is somewhat strange for them to unveil French and Italian ships when the community has been clamouring for RN BBs. Then again, no one particularly cared for the second branch of VMF DDs or the original VMF branches, including the Russians. I've always liked the French navy on the other hand, so I will give the cruisers a try. Would obviously prefer more destroyer lines, but given how the IJN and VMF splits have ballooned DD counts in mid-to-high tier on the Asia server, that's probably a bad idea for the time being. In other news, I've discovered a new way to get teamkilled. Kill a pubbie in a random battle, then go play ranked after you win and get them on your team. Ah, the halcyon days of getting teamkilled for just running the Alpha flag have finally returned to me.
