playing coastal in the same BR of 4.3 you also have no chance vs. a SKR7 - not to mention the PR206 (which due to the fragmentation issue is now a little easier to kill)

You do certainly have a point, although I don’t know about everyone else but the moment I take floods, module damage that needs repairs, or a fire, I tend to start seek out what’s just inflicted that, and RTR drill (Return fire, take cover, return effective fire)
Again, while I don’t disagree, the SKR doesn’t have bad turret response time, and it has a very high rate of fire that allows you to saturate an area with fire. Yes you have restricted first stage ammunition, but provided you have even a vague knowledge you should be able to get effective fire on target. I guess the aiming is down to individual player ability, and knowledge of the guns ballistics, but otherwise the SKR perhaps has a sizeable advantage over other contemporary ships.
I personally like my Daring Class, and for instance, while the SKR (should) be more fragile, it gets a higher rate of fire in return for that. You could argue calibre of guns might hurt it too, and again, don’t disagree. 76mm is a rather small calibre. But that would only really matter at very long range or against cruisers.
I mean at closer ranges you stand a reasonable chance of being made to suffer.
If an SKR gets the drop on you with its guns, unless you’re a cruiser you stand a reasonable chance of being unalived there and then. I suppose that’s true of other destroyers, but the saving grace is most destroyers/frigates don’t have the turret traverse and rate/weight of fire that and SKR will have.

Its only real advantage is firerate and rockets but those only work below 2km. The quality of shells, salvos, amount of crew, protection, no secondaries, cramped layout all disfavors skr in fight with dds.
I really am keen on testing for the past week what Im claiming here and I havent yet died to skr. Today I had a fight in kelvin and later in verazzano, both of which were started by skrs. In both cases I lost one turret and around 20% of crew before returning fire, taking out one skr turret and then finishing it off shortly after. 30-40% total crew loss. It could be worse of I was focusing somebody and not just. I feel confident that 4.3 is justified for skr. It is very good at supporting fire from behind of its team and extremely dangerous in close combat but cannot withstand fire from a focused dd and is prone to ammoracking.
Obviously playing against a newbie or a bot who had no idea what he was doing.
RN Da Verazzano is one of the weakest ships there is, and suffers from overBR (high cannon reload, absurdly low torpedo speed, lower AA cannon effectiveness than other nations), it doesn’t stand a chance against SKR.
RN Da Verazzano is destroyed in seconds by any SKR that knows where the left mouse button is.
If it is true that my Freccia P-493 is at BR 4.7 and is only armed with: 3x40mm cannons, and has no chance against destroyers but only against patrol boats.
Then it is equally true that the SKR which is much better armed than the Freccia P-493, in fact has: 4x76mm cannons, Torpedoes, Rockets… It can traquilely stand at BR 4.7 or even 5.0.
SKR is a cancer at 4.3

It was obvious that those protecting SKR would respond by creating more misinformation.
Verazzano has torpedoes that have a speed of 56Km/h and have a range of 12km are literally one of the slowest torpedoes of all. As always you have no idea what you are talking about, have you ever played with Verazzano?
If you want to make it fast you have to change “torpedo mode”, which takes it to 93km/h but you lose a bunch of travel distance only 4km making it still one of the most useless torpedoes, since all the other nations have the same speed, but have a greater travel distance of 6 km.
Do everyone a favour and stop creating misinformation ;) SKR remains a cancer at BR 4.3

Russians are false-flagging posts in here again.
SKR-7 and Koln are fine where they are.
If decompression happens, then both can go up to 4.7.

The SKR-7 has been at 4.3 ever since its introduction coming up on five years ago, it’s even described as such in videos created by people back in 2019.
Painting people saying otherwise as gaslighting and reporting them as such is incredibly disingenuous, but that’s nothing new from Razor I guess.

It’s sad that people are gaslighting me and reporting my posts for saying that.
Glad you agree with me @Hetaeron @Matias_Durg @Firestarter @CapitanVento
Nice to have 6 people all in agreement.

I’m curious as to why you pinged me, given I didn’t actually say in this thread I’ve never said it’s OP. The statement made by Zero doesn’t even mention being OP.
I’ve merely:
- Corrected you when you’ve stated that the SKR-7 was 4.0
- Corrected you when you’ve stated the range of the RBU-6000 is 1,500 metres
I just agree that telling people they’re wrong when they’re very obviously not is just a bit weird, but hey, you interpret me “liking” stuff in whatever way you want. I’m curious as to how you achieved your conclusion(s).
And yes, it is nice to have 6 people in agreement.

Cause you agreed with the post that called out people falsely reporting people here, including my own posts.
Where I had to post this three separate times due to alleged Russians getting upset:
I apologize if my language wasn’t correctly ordered the other day though.
It appears I was misunderstood by yourself and I apologize for the wording errors I likely had.
Because curiously the same thing was happening to me…
not sure how you know for a fact its russians but if it is i’m impressed tbh
Apology accepted

If you are referring to this message of yours:
I did not report it, so please avoid blaming random people. Since you’ve been here you’ve been making false claims and now you’re blaming random people.
Since you called me out on it, I’ll give you my 3 cents on the topic, your previous posts were just misinformation, I guess you were flagged for these since you stated falsehood… You claimed that SKR has had a BR increase since the last update and was at BR 4.0… But what you claim is simply false… SKR has been at BR 4.3 for years, and has always been the strongest ship in the Coastal Fleet of all nations… Furthermore, you also made false statements about the range of the RBU-6000…
The only players in this post that have been falsely flagged are:
- Firestarter__
- John_Sneeeeeeeew
Where you were replied to and pointed out that you were misreporting.

Sir, what are you talking about?
None of what you said is on-topic, no one accused you of flagging anyone.
You also didn’t include Lattrell, myself, nor Mongaroth… all false-flagged.
The fact you claim myself and Firestarter are pushing misinformation… wow.
SKR-7 is 4.3 sir, not 4.0.
Not sure why you’re disagreeing with everyone here after agreeing with us.
From what you had written here:
I understood that you had accused me of false flagged, which is ridiculous, my fault, I am not English I translated your message wrong.
Here instead it is you who did not understand what I wrote, I never claimed that SKR is at BR 4.0. Please avoid accusing me of things I did not say. And I certainly never said that Firestarter__ is spreading misinformation I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. In fact I agree with everything Firestarter__ wrote.
As for the disiformation these are your words:
And your words have been corrected by Firestarter__
EDIT:corrected typo
I mistyped and that was corrected by myself and Firestarter rather civilly for the most part.
Only two? of their posts obtained insults.
No misinformation on my part, just me not proof-reading when I should’ve.
Please do not include me on agreeing with you at all. I am, by far, a naval main for years, and the SKR7 is one of the worst offenders in the game of overpoweredness. SKR players are consistently in the top of the leaderboards with double digit kills, little to no deaths, and actively ruin the game.

Until you realize K2, Koln, and others were always as powerful.
Also you agreed with their post which was what my posts were saying.

Ive been destroying skrs for another week now, it doesnt pose much threat if you aim your salvos well.

I correct you, it still is, nothing has changed, it is the only way to correct it and increase its BR 4.7 or 5.0… Put your heart at rest SKR is a cancer ship that deserves a minimum BR increase to 4.7.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is most likely someone who knows full well it is OP and wants to keep it that way.
Since I am tired of reading hypocrisy I will give this community some healthy truth: The developers are fully aware of what SKR is and all the problems it causes. They simply don’t care. Or maybe they do care and want it as it is and live in a fantasy world: a Soviet ship dragging all western navies into oblivion.
On forums raising SKR issue is pointless. You will immdetialy be attacked by several of sweats who use this boat all time to grind naval events. They make enough replies that it will look that SKR is either weak, too high in BR or non issue - so they can sealclub and farm on 4.3 with high downtier chances. Meanwhile, when there are events you get to see matches with full SKR vs full SKR teams… who knows why they choose this ship, maybe because it’s literally OP. lol
