Reveal hidden contents ...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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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) Edited September 17, 2017 by desmo_2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

35 [WOLFB] Saidalphon Members 213 posts 5,031 battles Report post #12 Posted September 18, 2017 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. Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
549 [STW-D] InvalidKey Supertester 1,650 posts 5,511 battles Report post #13 Posted September 18, 2017 Has nobody yet noticed that the fire damage was only 29k for 21 fires?

775 [LRM] Phil_Swift_With_Flextape Members 2,630 posts 5,201 battles Report post #15 Posted September 18, 2017 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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
940 centarina Members 9,434 posts 11,601 battles Report post #24 Posted September 18, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
