well you got the BR’s of repulse and QM correct
Sorry if this is the wrong thread but can we do something about the Barham’s ammo? It’s unbelievably crappy. I’ve been trying to score points with this hunk of junk all weekend and its guns are about as effective as spitballs. Major regret on the wasted grinding for this sad excuse for a 7.0. More like 6.0.
Is it me, or has British 15" inch guns been nerfed hard this update?
They seem to rarely pen and when they do, they do no damage at all.
I read armour not ammo, so shall tweak.
They were amazing, but after the update the guns feel like potato cannons. I cant seem to kill anything with them. Even with hit after hit after hit.
Ditto. Even cruisers are presenting a problem to take down. And I know it’s the ship and not me b/c when I then spawn in the same match with the Iron Duke it cleans house - instantly 4 to 5 times the damage output as the Barham. Barham is effen broke down busted and not really even playable atm. Should it be reported?
I ve been finding the same thing with Hood as well. So I think it was just a nerf or change to the 15" guns and less so Barham alone.
Are you suggesting the entire top tier British naval line is unplayable? Kinda hope that can be quickly addressed by GJ if so. 15" guns are supposed to be sledge hammers. But I can’t pen a thing. Playing the Barham is no fun at all.
They might be.
But waiting to see if anyone else has noticed the same or not
If present naval queue times are any indication, it could be a long wait.
Well I have been busy unlocking the air and ground that was added this update as I was not excited by repulse but I have messed around in the test drive with renown and she really struggled to kill the BB in the the rest drive and I ended up leaving after a while as it still had most of its crew
I also noticed a deterioration, yesterday I could not kill Ishmael or Mutsu in the ammo rack

I know they must be doing this to justify adding a better BB next update
Maybe yes as now even Scharnhorst is suffering in realistic.

*we hope
The true and only logical conclusion is that they are going to add the 100,000 tone lion class prototype
It lacks ballistic capping, I am not sure why they selected this shell as I believe a better one that was APCBC was available but I haven’t looked into it enough to be sure.
With ideal decompression Barham would stay 7.0, Warspite and Valiant/QE would be refitted and at 7.3 with 6 crh projectiles and then Scharn, Amagi etc would be 7.7.

The hope for a brighter future is all well and fine, but the game and its scaling need to work properly now, not tomorrow. In this game it often seems a matter of waiting for things to get properly tuned, which I’m completely weary of it at this point. Nothing’s ever finalized. It’s all in beta all the time.

It’s playable, good even though outclassed due to dispersion and alpha damage feeling less devastating than pure RoF (unless you’re an Amagi with both).
Not sure what this weird thing with the shells is, i think it might be placebo but i’m not sure.
The lineup should 100% be stronger though.
Not too far from a KGV I don’t think, but I’m more expecting Warspite in a refit, speaking of, tomorrow (for me) is the anniversary of her launching 111 years ago…

Besides, biggest anti-British bias on game atm. Same company product, same casemate guns that has to be rotated with human power, shorter and lighter gun has only 40% of horizontal traverse speed because it is used by Royal Navy but not Imperial Japanese Navy.
