As I've pointed out in another comment, the propulsion mod for me is there so I can accelerate out of a dodge, and have better deceleration as well. That's a personal choice, though - I can usually predict when I need to turn, so I can get away with one traverse mod, and speed up much faster out of the turn. Both traverse mods is a legit choice as well.

She is a very, very good tier 5 BB, especially if you like playing aggressively. For me, the Kongo probably comes closest.

Wow, I got lucky from a crate as well, from a medium crate with 0.48%. my first battle had 60k damage and I think 3 kills.

Yes, I'm already using her as a "de-frustrator", just like the Yubari :)

Yes, she's not overly expensive, and a seriously good mid-tier BB. If someone wants a premium, but doesn't want to spend outrageous amounts of money, that's a good choice (and it's not often that I recommend a premium ship).

I'd be surprised if they put it on sale anytime soon. People are more than happy to pay full price for them it seems. Anyone know if WG has any intention of releasing an Italian battleship tech tree line?

I got lucky, I am a f2p player for now.

The Warspite has 380s on her mains, right? I love that ship as well, the punchy 380 are about my favourite big guns in the game. So far, I've been a bit disappointed by the 400+ calibre.

381mm cause why not 😋 Guess it takes a while to reach the north caro on your road, but thats my favorite t8 bb very strong in all aspects Im grinding for cleveland now, its a buffed up helena, helena and cleve are awesome aa support ca‘s and dd hunters, the brit t8 eddi got smoke so a keeper too for any ranked/skirmish

381 to one-up ze Germans, of course :) I personally can't stand the Edinburgh - she's very capable against anything except BBs. Wait until you get the Neptune, and suddenly a whole new world opens up :) I've been very underwhelmed by the USN light cruisers so far - yes, they're good against DDs, but I need a ship that can deal with any class, and so far the Dallas has been a disappointment. We'll see how the Brooklyn turns out. Yeah, it'll take a bit till I hit the NC - I'm not focusing on the USN BB road full time, I've been grinding with Bismarck, Shchors and some others (like the IJN CAs) in parallel, which is why things are progressing at a bit more pedestrian pace. NCs are scary enemies, that I can agree with :)

Dallas and brooklyn are stinkers, but its worth it to get a cool skirmish ca Even dallas, i dont use HE vs bb firechance sucks and ap lands on the deck doin more dmg

the alpha damage on these guns is just disastrous. A Dallas firing AP would basically amount to a Leander without torps and smoke screen.... I get that they're meant as support cruisers - screen BBs from DDs, long range fire and AA support etc. I just don't think that concept works very well in a fast-paced random battle. Most of the time, I find myself impotently pew-pewing away at enemy ships, and just not getting enough done to carry a game. Maybe they work better in a division, haven't tried that, but if I was to pit the Dallas against a Galissionnaire, for example, I can do serious damage to the enemy team by myself in the latter, if needed - not so in the former.

That's harsh. I think they should change that. But why the capping rules?

Did you end up going through the World of Warships support? That's completely different from Warships Blitz, and they usually can't help. I don't know about the restore feature, but found this for Blitz - wowsblitz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012697440-I-would-like-to-restore-a-ship-what-should-I-do-

@@FunandGameswithTerry ok thx ill try

@@FunandGameswithTerry oh thx ill try to have the gold for the ship slot thx man if this works i will thank you endlessly😉

Nice one! Against the New York at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5eKnaZlsLacin0.html, that's 1 full pen and 9 semi pens - definitely more than I get in the same situation today. And the citadel at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5eKnaZlsLacin0.html looks like it went right into the forward magazines (or the engine room amidships, hard to tell from the video). Not something I've seen it do.

Gniesenau. He already did. Look up his past videos.

I've got a Gneisenau review here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nsekgd2auJ6pXXU.html It's a bit older, though, she's been buffed recently, so not all the stats are the same.

253 games with a 95.69% wr

Her plunging shells are actually quite good against same-tier or lower-tier deck plating, but she does struggle to penetrate things like the New York or New Mexico. Still, I get at least semi-pens with the AP, which still do more damage than HE semi-pens. Mid-range has been where she felt weakest so far, I'll try switching to HE for those, thanks. Also, she tends to overpen cruisers quite a bit, so maybe HE, especially against IJN CAs.

Fun and games with Terry With the release of version 2.3, WG significantly reduced the hitting power of the Giulio Césare. Before this ship was so massively OP and hitting citadels didn’t require aiming at all in most cases. In RAZE we did platoons of 3 Giulio Césares for fun... Pizza boat seal clubbing we joked... It’s still a fun boat however, even though it needs a different approach. You should try this ship with ‘double steering’ installed in slots 2 and 3. Then she is really more manoeuvrable than some cruisers. With HE you can still citadel a BB at 8 km and also sets a decent amount of fires... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNdnhNmG3tCwgHU.html -> platoon mate recorded this battle a while back

interesting. I obviously don't have pre-patch experience, since I just got her, and the notes for 2.3 don't mention anything facebook.com/notes/world-of-warships-blitz/update-23-patch-notes/2259506500763665/ I'm actually struggling a bit against light cruisers, getting a lot of overpens - I wonder if the change was around citadel layout. Some of those citadel hits in the videos you posted were ... yeah, questionable :) I haven't even tried the HE shells yet. I personally like the propulsion mod - rudder shift is good, but you're bleeding a lot of speed, especially when you're actively torp dodging (full-reverse + full shift and turn into the spread). Once you've dodged that spread, you're at low speed, and it's very hard to dodge a subsequent one. Also, propulsion works both ways - reverse is faster, so you "brake" faster.

Really? Do you remember which patch that was, or what they changed? I can't remember seeing it in one of the more recent ones.

There isn't a patch note about the nerf but its accuracy is worse than the time that it just came out. You can check out other videos to see its great accuracy before it got nerfed.

Hello Haddock... We have been playing this ship together often

Yeah, I've been digging through the recent notes, but couldn't find anything. Accuracy looks definitely monstrous in the videos I've seen.

it used to get much more citadel hits ...i think it was the last patch...but it's still op ...best t5 bb by far
