They actually buffed repair time in this update, not a fan of it :(

I just wonder how you only manage to run a 4.8 k/d in a Scharnhorst with an ace crew across that many games. Also good lord that’s probably a thousand hours just on that one ship
So almost a week passed, and still no improvements on Rodney on live server…

There was datamined changes for Rodney for 2.43.0.25 middle of last week. But that update hasnt dropped yet. Really really hoping its early this week and not delayed till the new year
well i am praying for it to come before i unlock it
haha, thats why it hasnt dropped yet. You havent stock grinded it yet :D
oh i was planing on just buying the ap round on it
well this is the curret progress i have a 15k bonus from barham left then my only bonuses will be from the mass of 6.3’s and 6.7’s
I was hoping it will drop on Friday because that’s kind of important fix, but no…
I wonder how much of an improvement it’s going to be
You don’t need to rush, that’s for sure lol
If it prevents Rodney from being easily sunk by a light cruiser, then it will change a lot. Anything on top of that is a huge bonus
sure do love ai killing players that you were shooting and then get no reward at all
That would be great.
Underwhelming firepower is another issue for me. Either it’s just a bad dispersion, or those shell don’t do damage. I feel like they act like HE sometimes, or don’t fuse where they should. I see the hit but no damage . I don’t know if there’s something wrong with AP, or what is it.
On top of that slow reload…
Yeah, i’ve been rather underwhelmed by the damage. In part its the low hit rate due to dispersal + low fire rate. But I have been wondering if there is a fusing issue. Like the rounds are over-penning or detonating on impact or something. Round after round i’ll put into an ammo rack and nothing, not even a scratch, its wierd
That’s what I’m experiencing. It is weird.
Hood shell when they hit they do the damage.
Now Rodney 16in have about the same amount of TNT, but heavier and with more penetration, so they should get through the armor easier, and do more damage, but it doesn’t feel lile it.
Yeah, god knows how we test it and see if we are just crazy or if there is a real issue though. But definetly something not quite right

We definitely need to test it.
I don’t have much free time right now(Christmas period), but there’s this naval polygon to test ships. I can’t find it on wt live (the search function is weird on that website), but I have it on my wt account.
It’s an old test map, without latest ships. But there’s stuff like Scharnhorst, and Nevada.
I could copy the link from my account and send it to you(or someone who want to test it) privately.
It’s gonna be a download link from wt live. Not sure if I can share it here. I don’t want to break any forum rules lol
well i guess even after 923 days hood stays the best ship the british have in game and until we get a late war QE or a KGV it will stay that way.
Yeah, send it over and I’ll have a play, see what I find.
Rodney has a chance at being a great ship. It feels fun, just woefully underpowered at the moment. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what she is like in the new year.
But… Yeah, I dont think the RN will rule the waves until we get an actual WW2 built ship like KGV or a heavily modernised one like Warspite or Nelson
