Well its not like he still was able to do a whole lot and he lost those incredibly quick to my yamato. In no ways is the khronstadt or the sevastopol which is an equal powder keg like the yamato too strong or anything. Game is just a buggy mess and naval even more so…And i would bet any bodypart that something like that isnt exclusive to this ship. Most likely happens to other ships the same way. Or maybe it was just a similar bug in the damage window and his sections werent actually blacked out.
Tell that to HMS Hood when it did so to get in range. Only to get a shell through the hull right as it started a turn.
Or the tactic of ‘Crossing the T’.
Enemies facing bow is fairly common in Warthunder. It doesn’t happen all the time (it shouldn’t) but it’s not something that never happens.
Good, it’s not like it isn’t the most overpowered ship in the game at the moment with unreasonably huge filler and an armor scheme even Yamatos have to pixel hunt. While also ignoring 41cm guns at even 6km.
Almost every time an elevator fire starts in a German battleship, the ammo will cook off within 5 to 7 seconds.
Very rarely will players be able to put it out in time.

So have we come to the agreement to decompress Naval to 9.7 yet?

Eh to be honest it depends very much on where u hit, if u hit right above the waterline (going through the weird relatively low armored parts) [this is mainly about Scharnhorst Gneisenau and Bismarck] and then penetrate the barbettes under the deck then yes they do intend to blow relatively often but if ure just hitting the barbettes above water then it usually takes several attempts for them to just up and die
Explain how the SovetSky is the “most over powered ship” in the game right now.
If you can’t read that’s your issue.

So you can’t say what’s actually overpowered about it. I read your reply, but it’s not actually saying what’s overpowered.
For more he mass you lack more pen.
For more armor you lack maneuverability
37% more He filler for 3.4% less pen lol
RP Pinata armor scheme vs Scharnhorst on crack for more maneuverability on the bathtub sized maps we have
Like i get comparing it to Iowa but comparing the Soyuz to Yamato is a bad joke

Neither of which soyuz lacks.
Edit
But fine, I’ll play your silly games.
Yamato - compared to Soyuz - is inferior in every metric except caliber and penetration by a country mile.
Soyuz’s armor in general allows it to shrug off well over a dozen 46cm salvos before it starts losing sections - that isn’t including the fact if you want to do any sort of consistent damage - you have to pixel hunt an armor scheme that generally has very small weak points.
Yamato class cannot range control it - Soyuz is faster (as is Iowa, which is the second best ship in the game currently)
Yamatos cannot outturn it. Despite documentation and firsthand accounts engaging them that the Yamatos were ridiculously maneuverable. There is roughly a 300m turning circle difference in real life if Soyuz was completed. You know - 640m turning Radius vs *940+*m. In warthunder, however, Soyuz and Iowa easily outmaneuver the Yamatos.
Because of this, Yamato can only throttle evade which is pretty damn sad.
‘But Soyuz has less penetration!’
870mm vs 852mm
Or at 15km 603 vs 572
With 23.86kg explosive mass vs 39.58kg
With Soyuz having a faster firerate and same amount of guns. That’s not including the absolute insanity that is Soyuz’s 40.6cm SAP - IT GETS STOCK - WHICH CAN INSTANTLY KILL YAMATO AT 20KM. Consistently.
WITH AN IDIOTIC EXPLOSIVE MASS OF 88KG.
46cm HE only has 61.69 (noice)kg in comparison.
So don’t gaslight me. It won’t work.

You’ll surprise when WW1 British 15’’ HE has 110 kg HE filler
Actually, currently HE filler not equals damage in game

There’s a difference between HE and main purpose semi armor piercing

Does not much, especially as WW2 HE shells thick walls.
British WW1 15’’ CPC(also used in WW2) has more explosive filler than WW2 HE shell
American WW2 14’’ CL.B has more explosiver filler than WW2 HC shell
Also, you have to know that Japanese doesn’t make high explosive shell for battleships during 1920s and 1930s. It’s quite an experimental, not ‘finished’ stage of development

41cm type 0 common.
Granted this is 1914.
Soyuz was built during the very start of WW2. With this in mind, the shells shouldn’t have such a monstrous bursting charge compared to other nations’ 40.6cm equivalents.

you can’t see WW2? Japan doesn’t have HE shell for main combatant ships until 1940, why old armored cruisers restored and took into Sino-Japanese war in 1937.
British CPC with higher filler rate XD
The guns were built in 1914. I should have made that clearer.
All I can see from this is an 880kg shell.
Doesn’t matter. Japan only use AP shell for their 16’’ gun until 1940(not weird as US navy also use only AP for their fast battleships until they develop HC shell in 1942)
Under there, 65 kg of explosive and 7.4%. Marginally less than 7.9% of Soyuz’s SAP shell.
Actually, Soyuz’s SAP shell were made and fired during Great Patriotic war, although in small quantity. I can’t understand why you call it fake shell.
Nowhere did I say it was a fake shell.
I said it shouldn’t have such a massive payload. Because it shouldn’t.

Again you’re making assumption with no clue.
Imperial Russians made 14’’ SAPCBC(although it’s name is HE, it has only base fuze and cap/ballistic cap) with 75 kg of tnt burst inside 747.8kg shell at ww1 (and also at WW2 as Soviet Army use it on their railway gun)
Royal navy operates 18’’ CPC with 110 kg filler on their monitors.
Why 88 kg is ‘shouldn’t’ payload? There are already shells that massively overload on percentage or purre amount of filler in old days than Soviet 16’’
It is a 1108kg mass SAPCBC shell with a capped ballistic cap.
The APCBC is a 1108kg shell. With a capped ballistic cap.
When the SAPBC has more filler than a purpose built HE of larger caliber with a shell that weighs nearly 300kg more, there is a fundamental balance problem.
Edit
Something has to give.
The 34.3cm HE from britain is exactly that: 88kg of explosive filler with no penetration.
Edit 2
All of the shells on the british side? Yeah, they have no penetration in comparison.
Soyuz however doesn’t have this weakness.

Pre Yamato buff id agree.
Post its buff it’s quite good. Far more survivable than it was.
Also. It’s always been able to one tap the SovetSky.
That’s the largest killer of mine. Is the Yamato, followed by the Iowa.
According to stat shark, the 2nd best vessel in the game right now is the USS South Dakota.
