Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

American designation for battleships

USS Iowa is BB-61,

Since barbette armor started working again I can’t really complain about Tennessee’s durability at least. It’s annoying when you get randomly magazined but I die less often in it than Mutsu for example. Kill a bit less too, but it feels more durable to me. Shell room hits should stop killing your turret I think, unless they add an unrepairable module mechanic in some form to ships can’t replace their turrets five times with no consequence.

ohhhh

Oh, interesting! I forgot that there was a bug that led barbette armor to be practically bypassed, and that it was fixed.

I may give Tennessee a try tomorrow!

ITS BEAUTIFUL

35 knots was done I believe exactly once by New Jersey, which doesn’t have the thicker bulkhead. However the Iowas will be strong in game regardless, people grossly underrate the effective armor thickness on them.

Their only combat vehicle is the spitfire that I mentioned. Everything else was search and rescue oriented

eh, it should be ingame top speed for all of them

looks like bootleg f-111f but welded wing

I won’t get banned from the forum but please put yourself in permanent timeout

meh, it’s ok at best.

Royal Hong Kong Auxilliary Air Force. its not even long because of the name of the province lol

Permanent timeout for you as well

Not gonna lie russian jets do not do it for me.

Follow the other 2 into the corner please

The torpedo bulge helps block a surprising number of shots. Bigger guns still get through but as long as you aren’t brawling it will soak a lot from weaker guns. Apparently almost all guns overperform at range currently which may get fixed soon, which would be a nice buff to Tennessee by expanding its effective immune zone.

hell nah

I know that the J11B is a multirole aircraft but not as effective as the J16 but I hope that we will have A2G weapons at least the series of Ls, Ft and Lt GPS bombs

(also I see they massively nerfed the rewards since I last played, talismened Southampton with premium and a 200% rp booster and got just shy of 10k mission score and I got a whopping 40k RP for over an hour of gameplay)
