Another sub par set of ships

[Chief_SeaDog]

Ok the new British heavy? cruisers are here. So far 

1. Bad armor, angling does little to help

2. shells do less damage then 152s, slow reload

At least we can get them free and sell them. Why put ships in that most people wont play?  Guess the dev want to pat themselves on the back for the pixel work, which is great but mechanics and balance should be a priority. 

Not a rhetorical post just an opinion.

Some will think they are strong.  Some will think that they are weak.  Same goes for every ship line.

It all depends on your playstyle, and that's the beauty of it.

I have no idea, maybe some think every ship should be the Hindenburg? That every ship should be able run about in open water with impunity?

In any case, I tend to like what are often labeled as ‘bad’ ships, and thusly don’t really see why others think they are ‘bad.’

Me too.  I like defying popular opinion.

The only that's a failed is the tier 5 British cruisers . The rest are good and can take a beating .

Here's the deal. Not all lines need or should have a gimmick. Not all lines need to or should be exceptionally strong on release. Not all lines need to break the balance of the game. In fact, lines like this are more like the older lines, a solid line with very little fuss, unlike the SAP italians or heavy armor accurate up close russian BBs.

Agree with this. I like new lines and the content but it’s nice to see a non-gimmicky ship line. When the Italian line was released it was “garbage”, low and behold it actually isn’t. People will figure out how to make these work and be effective I’m sure.

This is the great catch-22 of any live service PvP game. Whenever new content comes out, people will complain about it being weak if it isn't immediately better than previous content, and complain about power creep if it is.

Heck, most of the time, people will complain about both, at the same time!

You have to keep everything weak to make the Russian stuff perfict.

The only thing disappointing is the AP so far. The HE though is pretty good
