What the point making huge battleship if they are all useless?

"Hello, I’m here to complain.
Yesterday, I did a stream with players and tested battleships.
Only one of them is OP as ****. Guess which one:

You cannot pierce compartments if it's well-angled.

You don’t kill any crew even if you get a penetration.

With 3 or more compartments flooded, it still doesn’t sink.

It ammo racks almost everything.

It cannot be ammo racked itself.

Turret rotation speed is faster than every other ships. As like Kronsh

I’m sorry to sound aggressive, but I was hyped for this update and honestly, you’re not even hiding the Russian bias anymore.

Now about the others:

Bismarck and Roma: if you get a fire in the elevator, you are instantly dead. You can’t even use FPE — it’s useless.

Richelieu: you can only kill her with HE  and any HE ship works (even an Atlanta).

Yamato: it’s hilarious to die from every single hit, even if you carry almost no ammo. A 50 kg TNT bomb can kill you!

Vanguard: it’s decent, but sinks fast if breached.

Iowa: it’s weak because you lose your ammo racks very quickly."

Start video to 1h00 around to find naval part.

After using 8-10 ships i was unable to sink soyuz a single time.

Then, i hope you are aware that jets bombers will ruin the game ?

I was really hyped, but now I feel disgusted.

Obviously because the soyuz was the best ever built. Duh.

One day they will probably add something like this to the game:

Spoiler

And when players will complain, they will say: “find official sources saying it couldn’t fly, because it was supposed to fly according to the plans”. Of course you can’t use logic, you need official sources.

Eeeew. AI art. So ugly. But I agree with your point though. One day we’re gonna see Atomic Heart level of technology in these tech trees and they’ll keep adding them like nothing’s wrong.

Yes. That’s the joke 🏌🏼‍♂️

Alien technology, cant use these sources they are classified.

so to recap (I’m a land player) the Russian ship that apparently wasn’t finished they put it in the game while we Italians don’t put B1Centauro Drago and don’t put armor on the ram at least to resist a little more.

Hypocrisy

Rules work a bit differently for naval when it comes to new vehicles.

But it is a weird scenario right now where a fantasy ship is the best out of the newest ones added

I’m rather liking vanguard 🤣

They really need to tone this mechanic down.

Most of the times, fire can detonate ammo racks in 2-6 seconds, which is faster than the 10 seconds it takes to shut down fires, so, basically, being set afire is practically a death warrant.

I think the mechanic is really good for balance and gameplay reasons; but it should be toned down just a liiiiiiittle bit. Maybe it should take a combined certain amount of fire time to detonate an ammo rack across all fires.

For example, 30 seconds.

I have repeatedly pointed out that canonically “space Battleship Yamato” was built within the hull of the original Yamato to hide her construction (meeting Gaijins requirements that “the hull must be laid down”) therefore Yamato should have her 2199 refit including shock canons and wave motion gun… oh and several squadrons of deployable star fighters:

Yeah, there must be something bugged righ now.

Some ships on the dev feels like they flooded the entire elevator rooms with kerosene looking how fast a simple fire can spread.

Funny thing is that, in the x-ray models (especialy Roma), they have multiple fire and blast doors visible leading into the shell and charge chambers (and they still explode in 2s).

Hope they’ll find a standard before this goes live.

This is dev, not release.
But yes, only non-exist top battleship - ussr and has imbalance absolutly fantastic armour and other.
Ussr can’t make RCE thickness than 230 mm and even in theory it’s thicker than 425 mm.
The fantastical armor layout of the front traverses.

About this video. If you want to understand why she sunk, its a damage model they are doing since some years now on newest ships.

For exemple, so sunk cargos in EC , you have to aim the bridge (even full crew).
Then, the new carrier called Admiral kutuzof, you can destroy the whole ship to try sinking it. But it will never work. Just shoot the bridge one time (even full crew) and you’ll kill her.

For Bismarck, 2,200 crews are in the bridge.
For Admiral kuznetsov 1,690 crews are in the bridge.
