Not agreeing or disagreeing with you on the general topic but: it can solo kill battleships from soo far away - Yes, after 2-3 minutes of constant fire.....so can several other ships. Smolensk can fire over islands that are really high whilst siting directly next to them - No, no it can't. It has a fairly low arc on its shells which makes it easy to hit stuff. Even if it could fire over islands, many other ships can also. smolensk AA is god level if it is escorting a BB th AA field is way to strong to do much dmg. - Its good but T10 can still get in and do attacks unless they have DFAA up, in which case, no hydro. If they have a BB with them, then yes, thats a good AA bubble, as it should be. Agaian, not saying anything about balance or OP...just addressing absurd points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind epicenter. I like having something different to play sometimes. I think most don't like it because they can't adapt and don't like having to move away from the back of the map.

Problem solved They tried to look at the spreadsheet when it came to the GC BB - but that community went crazy! So why should they change the way they deal with another ship in similar circumstances? I think the best thing they can do is what they have always done with a Premium considered OP - remove it and profit by putting it in a container at Christmas!

The whiners maid their bed. Now the whole community has to sleep in it. CV's can still kill a Smolensk, and AP bombs are absolutely overpowered against it, one AP bomb can take off around 30% of your health with a citadel hit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4,173 Pope_Shizzle Members 3,229 posts 7,820 battles Report post #18 Posted November 2, 2019 I'll be the one to say it. I think the Smolensk is a little UP. It lacks the utility or being able to use radar, which makes it weak against DD's. Sitting in smoke makes it overly reliant on other people to spot for it. And its a literal tin can, susceptible from damage by everything. I'd like to see some buffs, to be honest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure AP bombs don’t take off an excess of 10k damage a hit, but the point stands losing your planes to get some Smol damage is probably worth it. Granted it’s AA is still really good, so it’s not the Smol solution we want. What IS absolutely hilarious is the Smolensk/Kleber interaction. He smokes up, you sail right up in that 5.5km smoke firing range, then out DPM him with citadel hits + reload booster. If you are really smart you torp on either side of him before you spot him, as then he’s boxed in. It’s not like you don’t lose HP in the trade, but the satisfaction of erasing a smug Smolensk player in his smoke is well worth it. Alternatively you just sit 5.5km from him and he rages. A stationary Smolensk is a dead Smolensk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
