I guess we’ll have to wait and see though I think there might be a chance we’ll get a minor decompression this major
Don’t forget about spotting mechanic where ships can go invisible. A DD with concealment build can go as near as 5km without being seen.

we wont see any decompression, with 80$ premium packs Gaijin will want their latest get-rich-quick scheme to rake in as much money as possible (especially in the beginning), so we’ll get a few ships at 7.3 to justify selling 7.0 premiums and new rank that will introduce yet another BR penalty roadblock. Maybe techtree reshuffling to make TT progression a bit more annoying in terms of number of researched shipss needed
on the other hand, it wouldn’t surprise if we see devs making compression significantly worse by pushing some of the ships in current 6.7/6.3/6.0 range down, still keeping them within matchmaking range of the 6.7/7.0 premium ships but making life as miserable as possible for cruisers below them to artificially push players towards the new ships

I dont necessarily think a minor decompression would affect sales at all. If anything, they’d bolster them.
Besides I was only really thinking moving 7.0s to 7,3 and adding these new ships at 7.7.
Wouldnt be the first time. Things like the F-16C were added at 12.0 before being moved up to 12.3 before live and the Gripen was 12.3 on the dev server before moving up to 12.7 before live.
Heck didnt the Typhoon start at 13.7?
Same principle could be applied here, just bump things up 0.3 BR

In my mind USS Alaska or Raimondo alikes are 7.0 and they can hit the top ships. No way early German 283 or 12 inches penetrate a Iowa at longer ranges
Yup, he finally convinced me to block him a few days ago. Enough is enough. While I do think he is actually trying to bring attention to Naval some of the time, he is almost always trying to start an argument/fight. I am over his nonsense completely now.

So had a match tonight where I was reliably killing Scharnhorsts with Rodney (3 killed in total). So assuming the same weakness of setting fire to their forward turret lifts holds true for Gne. She wont be an issue.

Honestly, if they want this much money for a Ship pack, they better have a modification especially for the Gneisenau to switch back to the historically accurate cannons…
Possibly Richelieu pre 1943 configuration
it’s all a premium should be : not top of the top but still comparable to what you grind for
Richelieu post 1943 will be tech tree, that’s confirmed, and ideally Jean bart to close off the WW2 french line

They could possibly add Clemenceau. They got a policy of no same ship twice.

I one shotted a scharnhorst in iron duke yesterday.
It was incredibly cathartic.

Sounds like a Scharnhorst player LOL!
Ok, I do have to agree with you there 😂
And then the ruined Naval Arcade aiming was the final nail in the coffin for me. I am just hoping and praying that they pull that nail out 🙏

scarn was a factor but not sole reason i love scarn but its so mid now cause of its guns are not good against armor cause of tiny explosive mass

im just gonna get bismarck or tirpitz
These days, now we’ve had overhauled damage models and true competitors, scharn is fine, but honestly. She should have come this year not 2 years ago. She and she alone is the reason I basically stuck with 5.7 or lower and not top tier. It’s only really been since end of last year, especially with the new 7.0s for Britain, that I’ve dared try 7.0 again and start to enjoy it more

yeah 11 inches have good pen but ZERO explosive mass which is annoying
I still see them do more than enough damage, I guess it’s all about where you aim

i aim under the turrets and i go through armor but never get ammo so silly
These days, aiming for the turret/turret towers is just as valuable a target because of the fire propagation mechanics
