I can’t really say anything they’ve done recently has been positive without also being negative somehow.
Losing Nagato and now Tosa to the special vehicles section is just depressing.
I’m actually a little mad about them moving Settsu into what was the very obvious battlecruiser line instead of just admitting their mistake by swapping Mutsu and Amagi.
Though in hindsight I really should’ve expected it. They put two subsonic attackers between (A-7, Harrier) two supersonic fighters (F-1, F-16AJ) for no reason despite a very obvious attacker line existing in the tree already, and now they’re putting three fighters (technically one is a fighter/attacker) behind the heavy bombers instead of the attacker line. What is even the point of separating trees into lines by function if they’re just going to ignore them? I could at least respect it if they told us to just grind everything and to go f- ourselves.
No. 111 and Kaga and that’s it.
Maybe Kii and Owari if you can prove they were laid down. Only the guns of A-150 were made but it seems like they were just proving they could be rather than as actually part of the ships construction, so I doubt it anymore.
Although with how much people beg for carriers… No.111 is the only battleship left.
Edit: There’s also Kawachi and the Amagis, but one is Japans second ever dreadnought and the Amagis aren’t battleships no matter how much Gaijin pretends.
They were supposedly laid down. Takao Ishibashi, who you may know for having made those very comprehensive books on Japanese ships (such as the 1868-1945 books on cruisers and battleships/battlecruisers), had originally written in 2007 that they hadn’t been laid down, but in his later works in 2016, made a revision to this and stated they were laid down and 10% complete (earlier and more complete than Atago and Takao of the Akagi class). So it’s relatively new info.
Construction of the fighter cruisers Takao and Atago was halted, but the four shipyards were still building the fighter cruisers Kii and Owari, and the fighter cruisers Akagi and Amagi.
How tf is it possible that one barrel launched atgm from a t55 with 3 kg of tnt equivalent is turning one compartment of the yamato from completely intact to yellow? like, do they work on damage models and bug fixes for naval at all? is anyone at gaijin actually quality checking for the bs they put in game?
Yellow is roughly 26% to 99% remaining section HP and I wish there was a better system to show the block health instead of colors - like a meter or something.
In my experience against her, she’s fairly resistant to ammunition explosions and depending where you hit her with 20.3cm SAP you will either do nothing or a little bit of something. No type 93s is almost a deal breaker to me but those 15.5cms can be straight up nasty since they get the Type 91 APHE.
Yeah, me too. I haven’t researched it yet, but I’ve fought a few times on Mogami. I aimed for the ammo storehouse, but it took a while to explode. Maybe I’m just not good at playing… It doesn’t have torpedoes, but Ooyodo looks fun.
I also like ships with forward-concentrated armament. I’m thinking about making a suggestion for a Chikuma equipped with seaplanes.
Ended up getting Tosa. Kind of annoying they went with the westernized “Tosa-class” designation rather than the correct “Kaga-class” designation on the statcard.
Aside from that, I see that Tosa’s crew must’ve borrowed Amagi’s time machine and stolen the main battery turrets from the 30s refit Nagato-class to replace their original turrets. So just a couple of potential bug reports, aside from that, Tosa does seem relatively accurate
If you’re at 12 to 13km you can just plunging fire 99% of ships with the Oyodo and probably instantly kill almost anything you see.
Japanese shells (in my experience, mileage may vary) in warthunder like to instantly nuke ships at odd angles and ranges.
11 to 13km seems to be the sweet spot for CL/CA plunging fire though. 14 to 16km for battleships. I should probably test if diving shells are a thing because that could just as easily be dangerous at close range.
