First i’ve heard about that, but its possible.
If not lack of training, lack of actual experience might been a bigger issue
At least hopefully most of the shells wont miss when you fire at something as well

Well SKR-7 today is borderline unplayable due to the way the guns work.
Back when HE worked and it was just a destroyer with a faster rate of fire, yeah it was OP cause it was like 4.7 equivalent at 4.0 and later 4.3.
The gun nerfs and HE nerfs make it like… maybe 4.0. I haven’t seen an SKR-7 score a single frag on anything more than a PT boat in the last week of constantly playing naval.
And I tried doing the same and just go instantly destroyed by a Moffet cause their fire rate was superior and SAP is genuinely just better than HE.
The way HE is modeled right now to prevent BBs from dying too quickly is just hurtful for coastal vessels as a whole.

I read they were working on BB accuracy- funnily enough, some players opposed accuracy fixed because “it would make the game faster paced”…
I hope they fix it. Firing 1 salvo every 120 seconds only for it to fall on a 300m radius instead of where you were aiming at even at point blank isn’t peak xD

The configuration likely predates the widespread introduction of that ammunition plus having 2 types of 5 inch itll probably be time fuse and nothing else
I dont know about precise changes for everything
but for Hood and other British 15"
So will be more Accurate than Alaska but not quite as accurate as Scharnhorst
But yeah, they have, calling it a “skill issue” when shells miss where you aimed them and saying that guns were inaccurate IRL and should be modeled that way. Its really funny watching them panic over the good guns actually being close to their IRL accuracy :D
Yeah, I know that pain.

Exactly. People are under the misconception that guns were inaccurate… THEY WERE NOT! Not as much as they are ingame.
Inaccuracy was a result of imprecise firing solutions due to FCS and other real life factors NOT associated with shells somehow coming out of barrels as if these were twisted and misaligned.
With precise firing solutions, accuracy was practically surgical.

Yep, Hood should have somewhere in the region of half the shell spread at 28km IRL than she currently has a 10km in game

Anything but J-11B devblog huh?
Nah, 8.0. Even if the Scharn is the only one at 8.0 lol. All the other BB’s could be lower imo. (Or put the Scharn at 9.0 and the rest of the BB’s at 8.0-8.7) The Scharn just absolutely ruins matches. Now and for the last YEARS.
If a new top is made at 8.0, all BB’s need to be at least 7.3+ so that the current heavy cruisers at 6.0/6.3 have a chance to be used. I cannot use my heavy cruisers at 6.0/6.3 when 90%+ of the matches are full uptiers to 7.0, and almost always with a Scharn on the other side.

Nice for US player 💪
Now can French have a 7.0? 330/340mm gun can’t scratch those 7.0 battleships who are in every games…
#Richelieu #Jean Bart thx

Noting that 'USS Colorado (BB-45) will be in War Thunder’s ‘Hornet’s Sting’ update, there’s without doubt that…two other ‘Colorado-class’ battleships will be in-game by proxy as well. And they’re the two that were in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked there on December 7th, 1941:
USS Maryland (BB-46) & USS West Virginia (BB-48). The 4th ship in this class, USS Washington (BB-47), had her hull 3/4ths completed…& that’s as far as she got. The incomplete hull was expended as a floating target to determine the value of her armor protection against aerial bombs & shellfire.
And the story of USS West Virginia (BB-48) cannot be forgotten when it comes to the heroism of a famous Navy steward…who was serving aboard her on Dec. 7th, 1941: Mess Attendant 2nd Class Doris Miller, the 1st African-American sailor serving in the segregated Navy to receive the Navy Cross for bravery.
So…what the players have coming to them next update…is more than just one story about one ship. It’s a long line of them…from a US Navy battleship class that is as old as time itself!!!

Will they roll out another Ger BB as well? Stras, Warspite, Colorado are coming or already arrived via grind event. Just Ger is left out and is stuck with underwhelming Scharn.
LOL! Nice sh*t post.

Is the Strasbourg really a problem here?
(3 BB and 1 Cruiser at 7.0 with good 38cm main caliber and 1 insane Cruiser (Sharnhorst) isn’t something I’ll call “left out”)
SMS Baden, Level 21 crew, no expertise :
Dunkerque (similar as Strasbourg), Level 83 crew, with expertise :
You killed 3 people per game with Baden yet u call it good. Lol

The german WW1 BBs / BC Baden/Bayern/Schlesien/Yorck tend to immeadetly explode when hit by 40cm shells (Mutsu and some more). No chance.
??? You are calling Baden good,when in fact its bad, just like Strasbourg is bad. And Germany is in huge need of actual 7.0 BB, Tirpitz or Bismarck are long overdue. Just like Italy is in need of Roma or Vittorio Veneto.
How hell it is possible to be so biased 🤣
It’s not obvious that France need 7.0 more? Picture above are not clear enought? Five 7.0 (even “bad”) isn’t better than 0??? So pleaaaase stop complaining, there is no point to debate. I proved that the 38cm can actually did some damage, unlike French’ BB -Or at least- they can did it better
Germany enjoy Sharnhorst for a long time, when French navy suffered for a long time now. Maybe German are in a bad shape compared to USA or Russia, I really don’t know, but France is N°1 in need of 7.0.
I can understand that german player want more stuff, but there is no comparison here.
In this case, people need a lil bit of objectivity 😒
Edit : report it again I want a moderator to check it…
