Moskva, Stalingrad, Kremlin are all great examples. Awesome pen, shell arcs/trajectory, range, stalinium shells, health(except for smolensk). What are their downsides? Uhhh they can't handle or turn that well. Upcoming russian cruisers are the same thing. Ridiculous range, shell arcs, 1000+m/s/ stalinium shells, good armor. Russian ships always get the best gun stats armor and health. And their "downsides" are always stupid stats that dont matter as much like handling. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course they are wrong, because they do not fit your bias, so by definition they should be wrong...follow the $$$ Dude, that's my recommendation, and the $$$ are invested on IJN DD, USN CL/CA/BB, and on...VMF BB...

Every nation have its own OP ship(s). It’s just multiple of OP Russian ships is released at one time. Edited February 18, 2020 by JEFFREY_LEI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, no, no. Keep letting people believe that Russian BBs are OP, and they don't need to angle at all. In fact, broadside is best, the Stalinium will protect them.

23 [TDR] Lostkiwi_Disturbed Members 40 posts Report post #13 Posted February 18, 2020 Look at the stats on the Stalingrad compared to every ship in the game... Yes it has a weakness but like he said they are tiny compared to the uber gun platform it is.. How many crusiers can bow tank a BB like the Stalingrad none. All so with the up coming changes to MM with only 2 DDs per side Stalingrad is going to be a beast. Henri got a nerf on speed as soon as you turn it bleeds like no tomorrow. Can i get a list of them OP ships that you are talking about Jeffrey_lei, just so I can laugh, Russian ships get the least nerfs of any ships. Look at Kremlin so called nerf.

381 [BB35] Gemlin [BB35] Members 501 posts 14,327 battles Report post #17 Posted February 18, 2020 People hiding behind islands and not maneuvering to shoot at a bow tanking Russian ship is the problem. Your playing against the russian strengths. Stop hiding and crossfire a russian cruiser and youll punish it. I cant tell you how many games Ive played in Moskva that I bow in and hold off 2 BBs and a cruiser at long range. The cruiser never advances on me and they get target fixated on me. My teammates advance and hit their sides. Learn not to play into the strengths of the russian ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
