Most people are not fine with the fact that russian ‘planned’ ships rule the seas in WT. Despite they didn’t had the manufacturing capabilities …just “plans”.
Scharnhorst/Gneisenau actually existed and had a long combat history. To busy to check it, but there’s probably no BB pair on this planet, which sunk that many ships than these two…
How many ships did WT top dogs actually sing? Kron and Soyuz? Well none, cause SU had no capital ship bulding capability. The biggest hulls which were finished and commissioned were just light cruisers.
ok so its an actual fantasy world, because if i look into the naval category i see vastly more threads complaining about Scharnhorsts and by extension Gneisenaus armor scheme than any Kronshtadt threads. But maybe im missing that russian Gaze
And ? Like really ? Kron got in the game like 1 year later after Scharn and still Kron is some how an issue it’s not about game balance it is about people biases on empty spot
Please stick to the topic of “new battleships” like @Surbaissemaxxing asked.
We’re trying to collect as much feedback as possible on those new BBs and how they perform.
Cluttering the topic with random info won’t help. (also use PM if you’re starting a conversation about a single subject)
I dont think that there is any thread where a majority paints Scharn as completely balanced. Kron has vastly better guns than Scharn so that evens the armor out.
And again people hate it when fantasy ships, like the new russian bb , dominate a certain br and that counts for Kron as much as it does for Soyuz
Kronstadt was hated because the shells were stupid and it took way too long to balance her to be more reasonable.
Scharnhorst was hated because she was unsinkable without the lift fire mechanic.
Soyuz now appears to be rather insane. Not only is she a paper ship, which I have mixed opinions on, but she was likely a paper ship that was impossible to even build. Then instead of balancing her using available means, like giving her a reasonable and propbably accurate longer reload, they gave her a slightly insane reload rate.
Now im playing this update in Vanguard (The unsung hero of this update imo) and so dont have all the issues that the Yamatos and Bismarks are dealing with at the moment. But Soyuz is just a bit insane given they are artifiically limiting multiple other ships for the sake of balance but appear to have added Soyuz at max strength. Plenty of sources for Vanguard to have 25 second reloads and Rodney to have 30 second reloads but all have been denied so far for “balancing reasons”. Vanguard has the same FCS as WW1 dreadnoughts for “balancing reasons” so I do get the frustration around Soyuz.
Soyuz should not have been added in this state and now the question is, how will they now balance her.
Is there anything wrong with the Yamato at the moment? Is her armor and guns under performing? I swear, As a kid till now, I always though of the Yamato as some monster but from watching videos and such, it completely ruined my image of her.
And when Kron ruled it’s br. ? It’s getting hate not because it’s game breaking but because you people have clear bias no one cared about german or japanase paper ships
I cant really say anything about how accurately she is modeled but war thunders engagement ranges are pretty much so short that everyone can pen everyone and Yamato has insanely big Magazines which are really easy to pop. Guns are destructive but she looks like a glass cannon rn.
Yes. Today Kron has now been balanced and new mechanics added over the past year have given other nations the ability to fight back, such as the lift fire mechanic and the improved shell shrapnel thing end of last year.
Also Kron’s shells got nerfed iirc and reduced to actually realistic levels of performance. Kron is now actually reasonably balanced, but for a her first year? Especially in any form of uptier? She was absolutely broken.
German and japanese paper ships never completely dominated their brs and all of them were somewhat grounded in reality either because there were similar ships completed or the ship was very close to completion or the ship is essentially just put together from parts that existed (Gnei). The russian paper ships are none of that except for Sevastopols guns.
Actually except Yamato, there are only chance for ships with low pen 0.03 to 0.035 fuze shells to fight against Soyuz because they fight in close range.
