I Can't Even...I'm Just Done

British Battleships are so dirty to play.

I've been saying this about t3-5 since they were released.   sheesh.  t6 at least feel like real BB. 

[_ENO_]

Jesus- 21 fires? I don't think I've lit 21 fires in a cruiser... nevermind anything else.

That moment when you realize a tech tree ship is possibly more OP than the legendary Kamikaze R...

...even if the captain at the helm is primarily responsible for the outcome.

There are plenty of ships that are more OP than premiums, especially good ones.

 

One could argue that Fiji is better than Belfast because Fiji has a heal, and also has British AP.

That picture makes my heart weep. Those were my biggest enemy grinding mid tier cruisers.

Sure.  But Kamikaze R is widely regarded as OP, even among premiums, since the nerf to the tech tree DD line.

(For the record, I don't agree.  I think she is strong, but not OP)

More fires than the Red Woman! By the Seven those things are nuts.

Really depends on the situation, if it is battleship heavy, then yes.

[Saidalphon]

Seems completely balanced to me. No sirree not OP at all. 

It's not like they've been a thorn on my side all the way from T4 to T7, not in the slightest.

Has nobody yet noticed that the fire damage was only 29k for 21 fires?  The vast majority of the damage was pure HE.  Ribbons don't tell the whole story.

Most of the time the fires were put out by DCPs.  The raw HE alpha though.

British Battleships were a mistake in regards to the game design. I don't care how special someone thinks a navy is, there is no excuse for any sort of "easy mode" line at all. Period. End of story. It ruins the game because ships with harder learning curves can't be learned when someone playing easy mode gets to take advantage of the people trying to learn. And when you stuff the dumb masses behind easy ships, it makes the game feel boring because you can almost predict the outcome. But when you stuff an intelligent player behind the ship, such as @ValkyrWarframe , you get results like what you see in the first post. 

The line needs to have its HE nerfed and detection extended. This idea that ships lines can do things other ship lines can do is just not healthy for the long-term of the game. No line should be easy mode, that is the job of TIERS.

That game. One might say you were, on fire.

Oh come on, I suck at battleships.  The only ships I know how to play well are Atlanta and Moskva, the rest are no-skill or I just flat out suck.

4k battles and a 57% WR. You are good at this game. Don't argue.

Sure not a lot of fire damage but good lord man! 129k raw HE dmg and he had 4 citadels with no AP fired. Yeah it tells a story alright.

The raw HE damage is just too ridiculous in my opinion.  I was scoring way more damage in my Iron Duke in the first dozen battles then I ever managed in a Kongo after 200 battles.

[centarina]

3-5 are all OP.  tier 6 is more standard BB before going back to Fire breathing dragon at t7.       lol.  I had lion fire HE at my Charles martel.  he would have done more dmg with AP though he did pretty well with HE/fire.   pretty good accuracy.   I can see more people changing to fire prevention in BBs though and that would suck as it will make it tougher to burn them down   in cruiser.
