Wait until it gets its IRL 25 second reload instead of its 30 second reload Gaijin applies for balancing reaosns
and yeah. I dont get why we havent got an R-Class. Not actually a ship im all that interested in, but on the principle of it, its annoying
Yea gaijin being gaijin, from what I can tell though it’s armour is really good for the br and can definitely fight the new boats, I just need to get the good shells and learn it’s play style
when it was announced it felt like a massive middle finger to british players and still does.
Royal Sovereign should have been joint added to the british tree, especially as it was NOT in fighting conditions with how hopeless the soviet navy was at maintaining an actual boat.
if they are still hellbent on not giving us that boat give us Royal Oak or Revenge herself
My experience in something like Vanguard, which is probably more durable than the R-Class, is that its fine vs everything except Soyuz and Iowa. Those will eat you no matter what you do. No amount of angling will provide enough protection to stop shells from penning
The ONLY redeemable aspect of that update, was that we got Rodney instead. (though in an aweful state)
if we had gotten nothing… my god, the riot would have been immense
9 months on… Still not here… is wierd…
Especially this major where we are only getting a destroyer.
Im not even a naval main by any means and im still mad about it so good lord fireworks would have been like the Tiger 2 fix on steroids.
dont worry ive got bug reports dating about as far as that back that are easy fixes not acted on.
pressing CRTL+C and then CTRL+V on a ship is about as much effort so its not surprising
I watched my buddy bully a vanguard player in the Arkhangelsk but I’ll admit that vanguard player wasn’t the best, also I love how the vanguard makes 15in guns look small like wtf
haha yeah.
yeah, ive got a few dead easy ones that are probably apporaching 3 years old at this point :D
If it was stock as well, that wouldnt surprise me. Was kinda squishy without most of the mods.
Generally vs most ships, Ive not really felt lacking in terms of survivability
Yea it wasn’t too long after the update dropped so I wouldn’t be too surprised but he claimed it was GE’d spades so idk
It’s already 3 months and I spaded Iowa/Soyuz and almost spaded all other Rank VII battleships without GE’d spade. Only Talisman and AP/Damage Control/Fire Division(and we know this is minimum human right to GE’d them in this game)
Still wonder how the H unfinished ship from nation that barely know how to build ship and never win any naval engagements somehow magically made ship better than legendary ship from naval powerhouse.
Have a good tutor, which Italy and Germany can’t because of their diplomacy in 1930s
Typical bias
Legendary ship doesn’t always mean they are good design.
Yeah this would be the ones which we get on Leviathans, but water is already spilled and we can do nothing.
Actually, some nations will cannot solve this problem even with part-constructed paper-plan ships.
Yeah and I doubt that Soyuz was a good design when this is far as their progression can make
look like a good design to you?
Dont even get me started on the gun, only 1 ever existed so gun is accurate
100% not, that whole comment just reeks of no clue about naval top tier. Bismarck as best armor sure if you constantly shoot at the main turtleback instead quite literally anywhere near the ammo elevators lol.
A good design, of course not what they wanted (100 thousand tons and 457mm X 9 guns), but it is possible to build by 1945
Exactly. Of all the top bb right now Bismark is in my opinion the 2nd softest battleship. Vanguard for an example may look worse but it’s armour distribution, internal bulkheads , crew less turrets , vast amounts of empty space ande vitals so low they are almost under the most lol.
Soyuz is definitely the strongest of the top dogs with a distributed armour scheme like Bismark but far thicker, internal bulkheads which aren’t obvious how good they are until you start shooting at them and the shells all dissapear post pen. Then there is the flat fast shooting munitions which make it insanely easy to aim at range. It’s the most perfectly balanced ship of the top dogs.
Back on Bismark I’ve one shot them with Japanese 14inch guns and no challenge to the Italian and British guns because the turrets are soft and they lovento burn. Also holes in the armour to the front of the front turrets both sides of the ship you can fire into the magazines.
Long story short Bismark has been hilariously mediocre soyuz is enemy number 1 when seen.
Still doesn’t see it sail unlike Iowa or Yamato
so basically, fake ship in fake specification
i doubt even somehow soviet manage to magically finish it they will magically better than Iowa like it did in the game
So basically gaijin make it out of copium believe that Soviet can somehow cast a spell and make it better than powerhouse.
Gotta love the “we couldnt build high quality armor thats why we made it thicker but in game we have good quality armor and its still thick”-armor scheme.
Bismarck just has the same ammo elevator problems as Scharn and Gneis but what makes Soyuz truly broken are the “same pen as Iowa with double the explosive filler” guns. At least Scharn had the courtesy of rocking cruiser guns while being invincible…
