A few balance questions

[Aorangi]

I have been mulling some ideas over and I wanted some feedback on how they would affect the overall balance of the game.

1: The Kolberg either getting a reworked B hull or a C hull that includes a gun upgrade from the 105 MM to the 150 MM and torpedoes, similar to the stock torpedoes on the Karlsruhe.

2: Giving the North Carolina, Alabama, Iowa, Missouri, and Montana access to a variant of the Defensive Fire consumable that only affects the Oerlikons and Bofors.

3: Giving the Izumo a 360 degree rotation on the central turret.

4: Also to combat higher fire chances that some ships have, what about reducing the cool-down on the Damage Control party?

You'd be surprised how much more effective Kolberg becomes with IFHE and Demolition Expert.

1.) Get IFHE and DE on your captain

2.) Not needed

3.) Honestly wont change the Izumo that much

4.) Not needed. Setting fires in the main way ligher ships like DDs and CLs deal with the big battleships. The last thing we need is to buff BBs even more

St Louis as well.

Can I just ask, out of curiosity, how many people do you expect to play Kolberg with a 10 point captain? Keep in mind that the vast, vast, vast majority of people don't get a 10 point captain until tier 7 or tier 8...

 

If there are 50 people on NA with a 10 point Kolberg captain, without retaining one from something high tiered just to give me the finger, I would be surprised.

We don't need more aa buffs, especially on ships that hit carriers hard enough as thry do.

Changing the middle turret on the Izumo won't change too much, as the number 1 and 3 turrets will still behave the same. All it does is mean that 1/3 of your firepower is able to transition to the other side of the ship quicker than the 1 and 3 turrets.

Thank you all for the input.
