If you're running secondary build, why care about concealment? Because secondary build is only situationally useful, you say? You got it!! If you're gonna roll in with secondaries, you gotta be willing to get close enough, often enough, to use them.

There's nothing wrong withe either the Monty or GK that necessitates changes. Montana's citadels are fine. If you go broadside, you get spanked, which is the way things should be driving a ship that, when angled, it nigh on impossible to reliably damage, except if you're driving a Yamato. The GK doesn't even have an exposed citadel. Making the GK go more broadside to bring her guns on target is a perfectly reasonable tradeoff for not having to risk a double or triple citadel shot from an opposing BB.

Gneisenau. I thought I would hate the 6 smallish guns in tier 7, but it turns out to be the best I ever played.

There is only one radar ship on the other team and you're in a Lightning. You'll do fine.

Look at that, I learned something new!

I'm fairly certain that Preventative Maintenance doesn't have any impact engine or rudder damage. Those aren't the kind of modules it protects. It certainly helps keep turrets intact, though.

I dropped around 1100 hits with the Colbert about a week ago. Similar damage number as you. Most were no-damage shatters. But the psychological impact of the Skittles effect is mind boggling.

You saw me in the only good game I’ve had in that ship. It’s a shell magnet. People shooting me from 20+ km when they have a 2k hp Dr charging them. I blame the youtubers!!

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know why a for profit company doesn’t want its direct competitors referenced or discussed.

I agree. That scenario is really borked.

It's always nice to see your name at the top of something. Grats to you!

You're not necessarily doing anything "wrong." Ships that appear to be broadside often aren't. Optical illusions. Also, the shells you are landing may not be hitting citadel areas. They are likely hitting superstructure or the fore/aft ends of ships which have minimal armor and nothing important inside them. Keep plugging away. Until you get your lead down consistently, I advise aiming a little higher. Slamming your shells into the upper belt will get you reliable pens but few citadels. Your damage will get more consistent. As you get the lead down and are able to reliably aim for particular sections of a ship, drop the aim back down to the waterline and try and farm those cits. Good luck to you!

Always sad to hear when a member of the community moves on. Condolences.

My first was the Ichizuchi. I spammed it for a little while trying to make some $$$. Had no clue how to play it at the time. Ahh, the good old days...
