Lol Vanguard is not holding up to that unless she gets a LOT of buffs and features not present in-game but I appreciate you trying to include us haha.
Yeah but there’s nothing to add before the good ships, the only class Japan has left to add is the Tosa’s and then the Yamato come along. Generally across destroyers and cruisers Japan has most of their competitive options. I know the Takao class is missing but iirc it doesn’t really bring anything above what Japan already has.
Literally no, because Japan has the 2 best (maybe 2 of the best but Amagi is definitely no.1) ship classes at top tier right now. Japan getting Tosa would upset that even worse, Amagi’s armour is already as strong as Hoods, now make it 1.5" thicker…
It would also ruin the entirety of the balance in naval.
Agree however the American DD’s all need shifting up, and the UK one’s are only just debatably balanced being straight up worse than the US one’s br for br, but still edging out ahead of the competition.
For the one’s that its relevant to, they should receive these. But also it highlights a bigger issue with antifrag overperformance.
I do not agree particularly. KGV particularly is not in the same league, Bismarck could be due to turtleback and reload.
I agree with you here, they will never and should never get the nuclear shells.
Yeah this needs a nerf i think.
True
I think the Heavy cruisers are worse than the US and German counterparts but better than all the others.
I wonder if the Anti Submarine Shell could be added for the 12.7cm japanese naval guns to increase their DMG output at close range (these shells only travel around 250m/s :D but have a higher explosiv filler) and against Subs of course when they arrive
Its really in my opinion the bad damage model of HE vs U.S anti fragmentation armor its way too resilient IRL Japanese HE shells had no issue dealing damage to U.S destroyers.
Well an option is low tier night battles for RB and possibly AB where spotting ranges are much much shorter and torpedos are actually useful. But IRL doctrines arent exactly a priority, i mean look at British bombers in broad daylight unescorted
