Slot 4 - Engine Boost

It is massively undergunned and it's only defense seem to be the speed boost...

Krogort posted:It is massively undergunned and it's only defense seem to be the speed boost... It's got the same number and calibre of main guns as Bismarck and only one less than Monarch, but has way better firing arcs, and the secondaries on that hull look like 5x3 155mm, even though it only had 3x3 historically. Don't see where undergunned is coming from. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Nov 7, 2017 |

Well Bismark has peashooter for guns and make up for it with citadel proof armor, best secondaires, hydro and decent AA. Richelieu will have none of that.

The calibre of the main guns on Bismarck isn't the limiting factor, it's the accuracy. Richelieu won't have a turtleback no, but it will be able to fire all 8 guns while nose in or tightly angled, never needing to expose the broadside, and it should have 40mm deck armour. e: Line is fleshing out   Expecting Courbet at 4 and a fictional ship at 3; also there's a rumour that looks like troll bait which has the tier 10 called Voltaire and armed with 4x4 380mm ee: There's also a new tier 10 premium being worked on, presumably a clam war or ranked reward, a Des Moines clone called Salem NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Nov 7, 2017 |

With flags and speed boost the Richelieu can do 38.6 knots, it is said, because it's got the Charles Martel speed boost. Also, leaks from Chinese supertesters have the final two ships in the liine: IX - Alsace, no 3 design, super Richelieu with 3x4 380mm (15") guns X - France, paper super super Richelieu, armed with 3x4 431mm/50 (16.9") guns That's 2 quads forward, 1 quad aft ZombieLenin posted:I mean, sure... but it is essentially just a French Dreadnought ordered in 1913. Given that, it’s placement at tier 7 seems... excessive. They kind of had an issue, in that the first French Dreadnought Courbet was too good for tier 3 because it was 8 years later than most, and they thought they had a hole at tier 7, so they dragged everything up a tier and created a modified Danton which swapped out the pre-Dread large secondary and tertiary battery for more primary. Problem is they dragged a tier 6 up to tier 7 creating a weakness, and the French had nothing in the vicinity or time span of the "Big 7" even on the board. In typical WG fashion though, they could have avoided that weakness easily by either using the other historical Lyon layout - superfiring pairs - or using the 1929 fast battleship proposal instead, but no, they had to do it this way.

Other than Strasbourg which they bizarrely left out of the tree, there's the 'B' design here which is more or less an Ersatz Yorck (probably tier 7 if wargaming ever puts in more ships from the actual good German navy). But I don't know  wargaming are doing with the French lines, they already omitted real heavy cruiser classes in order to put the best (non American) treaty cruiser a tier below the Hipper and now they leave Strasbourg out of the battleship tree for some reason.I suppose when they add French destroyers they will ignore the two full lines that can be researched using only wikipedia and add a bunch of random boats instead, and make Le Fantasque a premium tier 8 that goes 36 knots (I think the second half is a given).

If I could just alternate playing the Belfast and Missouri forever, I totally would....but I like to collect ships And grind lines. Got done with the KGV. I ended up really liking it. I fired two salvos of AP the entire 38 battles I played. Monarch stock seems pretty okay. I like the AP alright and the concealment is stellar.

Strasbourg was a sistership to Dunkerque and apart from being of slightly heavier standard displacement she was otherwise identical. There's no reason to add her to the game. And I know I always talk about Hood, is she the most maneuverable BB in the game or am I imagining things? EDIT: Yes she is, by a lot.

I just can’t get over that... as far as I can tell the only thing close to this in game above Tier V is the modernized Queen Elizabeth/Warspite at Tier VI. And it would really do a number on my brain if a circa 1915 ship were at the same tier as KGV. Edit I also feel you on Gneisenau; however, it was at least designed to carry that caliber main gun eventually. ZombieLenin fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Nov 8, 2017 |

Just unlocked and purchased the Lion. Use my save me free XP to unlock all the modules except the second hull. Unfortunately, after the the purchase that was left was roughly a million credits. Not even enough to afford the slot 3 upgrade, let alone the guns, fire control, and engine. So what did I do? Played one match in it anyway. 175k damage loss.

He'd rather take a Colorado or Pensacola into a match. If it's legitimately basically the old A hull, I'm not surprised. The shells attached to the A hulls of both Nagato and Amagi (and currently on Mutsu), were complete and utter poo poo. Mutsu can kind of get away with it since it's a tier lower, but putting something with those garbage shells at a tier where 16" guns with decent shells are actually common, and they sensibly changed them on Nagato a long time ago, would make it incredibly painful to play.

This is why I hate the average T9 and T10 players. Why yes that is my Nagato above almost all of them. Why yes I spent the whole match kiting Izumos, the Hipper, the Fletcher and both Atlantas. Why yes it was tears of the desert. Why yes our T9 BBs all had 75% health without burning a repair. It was fun that every shell that connected from them pretty much hit for full damage.
