hp nerf across the board
WHEN THE SHIPS ALREADY INSTANTLY DIE
right? well, i hope and pray this is just the beginning of some major overhaul to its model but i also wouldnt bet on that and this is just their “fix”. With hopefully most accepted bug reports implemented if those were correct maybe thats just the first couple of changes over the course of several patches to make the yamato and musashi work the way they should for being at 8.7.
They couldve also reworked and brough back underwater shells, i vaguely remember reading somewhere on the forum that that was quite important for the massive japanese shells, as it is now in game its basically impossible to hit anything under the waterline.
FYI Yama loose up to 85% of its crew from a single salvo in the middle of the ship, 100% reproducible.
IJN shells also like to just obliterate ammunition via plunging fire too.
Really funny when you use something as garbage as the kako to erase a 6.0+ american cruiser’s magazines from 13km+ away.
Well thats why the kako is not garbage, exactly because of those guns. But they have a quite slow firerate and even worse turret traverse as a downside. Sure you can/might be able to get a lucky mag detonation on a cruiser 1.0 br higher than the kako with these guns, but these guns are also all you have.
Just because it has good AP shells doesn’t make the ship good; HMS York suffers from the same 6 guns problem but has both infinitely more survivability and a faster firerate.
Granted, it is also .3 higher with the caveat of SAP only and kinda ass torpedoes but still.
Kako has the type 8s so it has that at least.
But that’s an issue of most of the IJN tree, period: glaringly huge lows and mediocre highs that are mostly shored up by 6.0.
Comparatively: Germany only has the K2 and the Elbing as its only two ‘bad’ ships. K2 used to be a menace pre Leviathans, now it’s just a punching bag.
Elbing because… It’s the Elbing.
Similarly, America has to suffer through the painfully mid Omahas after having ridiculously good DDs and then snowball out of control at 5.7+ and then back to being mid in US dreadnoughts until SoDak.
Russia’s tree is a schizophrenic mess of kind of ass and/or ridiculously gimmicky ships that have poor armor and great guns or have an outlier of an Italian BB and a British BB before capping off with Soyuz.
Italy and France are somewhere in between with Italy edging out slightly more with the excellent, albeit squishy Luigi Cadorna being added as well as Zara class.

Kako doesnt have the long lances. Kakos got good guns ;-)
Alright you got me - I’m sleep deprived and don’t know how I didn’t remember she didn’t get type 93s. They’re still good torps and far better than any other nation.
No worries. Problem is though, you cant aim the torps on the kako as well. Anyhow that doesnt matter, kako is about the guns. For torp gameplay there are much better ships in the japanese tech tree. Like the numerous ones with the type 93. Both models are way better than anything anyone else gets, in speed, range and tnt yield.
Honestly, there’s almost no reason to play a Furutaka or an Aoba when you can just play Oyodo.
Oyodo is horrifying at her tier if played right since it’s the same AP on the Suzuya and Yamato’s secondaries…
At 5.3.
So how’s Yamato after changes, any better now?
i dont know, i just wanted to say
Spoiler
i love you vids
