Got hit 2 shells, lit up. "Remember, let it burn! Don't use repair! Let it burn out by itself! Then use health restore!" - Smartasses in this forum. Sunk the DD, dodged all torps. Took a glance at the health. Almost half gone. I didn't use the repair for fear of a torp hit. I said Japanese BB got nerfed beyond playable, people laughed at me. Oh well. And did I mention I scored 2 direct AP hits on the DD, but somehow just 2000 some damage? Of course I didn't.

A USN battleship will suffer as much damage as an IJN battleship ignorant wretch as will a german, as will the damn warspite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You...have no idea how to play this game, do you? I mean I'm bad, don't get me wrong, but even I know what overpenetration is... Oh yea, and then you have BB HEs. What, you saw a DD and you immediately switch to HE and wait another 32 secs? Great, out of no where came a CA, batter you like a boss. You can't put him down quick because you are using HE so no citadel hits. You can lit him up, right? Wrong. They can dish out waves after waves of shells and at best you can hit 3 or 4 per salvo, ain't no way you can light him up faster than he does to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't fight ships loaded with HEs? You don't know the solution either. You are one of those people cowarding behidn DDs, CAs and other BBs when playing IJN, and look for ships with low HP.

A USN battleship will suffer as much damage as an IJN battleship ignorant wretch as will a german, as will the damn warspite. Same tier. IJN front vs German broad side. Both full health. Guess which ship sunk after only 5 rounds of exchanging fire. Not the German one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry the other classes are able to damage you. How should WG fix the game to cater to your whims? Should Battleships only take damage from other Battleships? WG balances the game around nonsense like you are spewing, which is the reason 2/4s of the classes are trash, congrats OP WG is listening. They want to make sure you are nice in comfy in that Battleship of yours. Keep snowing Snowflake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

180 [TSG4R] ForgMaxtor [TSG4R] Members 972 posts 5,062 battles Report post #19 Posted April 1, 2017 What I'm wondering is how you got all the way to Nagato and are just noticing this stuff now. I mean, the whole how-to-counter-a-DD-in-a-BB took me a while to figure out when I was playing up through Kawachi, Myogi and Kongo, but by the time I had ground up through Kongo and got to Fuso, I was giving as good or better than as I was getting most of the time. Not that I'm a Unicum BB player, but I certainly don't feel helpless against DD(s) when playing IJN BBs, or any other BB line for that matter. I'd suggest watching some of the tutorial vids on how to play BBs by Community Contributors like iChase, Notser, and Flamu on Youtube. You can learn a lot by watching how the Unicums handle a ship. Flamu is a particular fan of the Fuso -- here's his Fuso guide to get you started. It's from before the 6.2 Captain Skill changes so you'll have to extrapolate the build advice a bit, but the gameplay advice is still solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I learned to RESPECT but not fear DDs in South Carolina and Wyoming... Been beating them up a decent amout of the time ever since. Once PopeShizzle made it click in my head about how to deal with fires on battleships, I've been 'letting it burn,' srviving, and getting fireproof and dreadnaught awards ever since. There is a bit of an art to using the things that help you deal with damage, but it is a LEARNED skill, and not that hard to do once you figure it out.
