gear lab?
just separate them
Might as well inhale copium and toss in the 45cm French gun
Or what is it Riche? From WW1, a 50 something cm gun?
Forgot the study number

A20 or something like that, you mentioned it before
A17
When you put an A in front I start mixing it up with the Japanese series
3x2 or 4x2 450mm design


On 45k tons?
it's not an incomparable unless it's literally drawn on a napkin sheet
Incomparable would never have had 20 inch guns
Sans Pareil
elaborate

am interested
Her last revision was 3x2 18” guns
wth is a sans pareil
one day weegee will remember this thing exists

guess
When we get Lorraine
so just 6x20?
Sans pareil means “without equal” in frog
Nerfed dupleix 
Piss off
WG loves 8x18in shitters more than they hate italy so it'll probably get added
dupleix also got fucking hammered lmao
she'll probably be dockyard

A ship name the RN coveniently stole from France
^
Ok
What will be the main reward

Instructions unclear, have this Tier 3 instead.
i think you mean tier 10 DD


You posted Dupleix and it got nerfed
What the heck

True, most of them are weird
At least agano was real
Silver, which is the bigger travesty
the latam line
or the army guns on ijn cls

Latam, no doubt
Hull of IJN CL t8 and t9 is passable, Yodo is trash
Latam is just full on moronic
latam you could at least explain with zombie monroe coming back from the grave and deciding the only way to stop european influence in latam is to arm them with more boats
i just don't see ijn even considering using army guns
US actively telling Britain via telegrams to stop supplying warships to South America
LATAM mostly because a bunch of people were working to make a good line and passed it to weegee just for weegee to take it and go
yes ik that part
nah
It can be assumed the US will sell ships to Latam
that's where zombie monroe comes in
I too love my ships that would be t5 at most and the rest entirely ficticious
I want to punch DD381
We get a fake Navarra before Spain
what's wrong with somers
tfw fake abruzzi with twins
with random single in the back
at least split is real-ish
She killed a Gabbiano and a Chamois

With Soviet AA
Gokase is good enough to be C-44 Agano Kai
well, it's wows 
they got zao from a magazine
they've been at it for almost a decade now, they never gave a shit
i wonder considering that we got french CBs after the italian DDs if the next italian line will be before french CVs
Even Hercules is not modelled correctly
italian BCs would be neat
That's how fucked the line is
we could get that lolittorio

i just dont want CVs lmao
Except joffre ofc
is there a way to farm for a specific piece of gear?
And Verdun
which one
looking for gloster sea gladiator
Because they don't exactly have a good candidate for replacement
not sure if that would work
You need to huff the Myoukou preliminaries for anything that would be good for tier 10
without too much made up stuff*
the model
Colombo is just weirdga all over
yea
360 turrets on a fucking quad 381
because the ship is clearly made for AA duties
At least it’s only the rear turrets
supership
Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Are. Fake. With the exception of Eagle, but she has fucked air groups.
the design it's based on had enough room for a 360° front gun 
even yamagiri?
Colombo falls into the same tier as Thunkek
"Inspired by a previous design"
joke
i shit you not
the design for an 8x457 conqueror bastard came from a cc called little white mouse
on 4/1
Ah, so you clearly are not aware of Conqueror's original armament
ik conq had 8x457
originally
but the name thunderer and many of thunderer's current attributes
lwm made a shitpost about a really obvious armament swap
but like
its mostly just a coincidence because everything about thunderer was kinda just the natural conclusion
It doesnt matter, WG just cloned Conqkek, changed AA and called it a day
It's still "Inspired by L2", same shit ad Colombo
also gave thunderer a lot of crack
she turns like
twice as fast as any other bb
lmao
Yamagiri eternally pisses me off
nah but warspite is a dread so it makes sense
she's a 1:1 translation from t6 to t10 including the entire superstructure style
this thing has the same hull as conq
just with overmatch replaced with the uber HE
the heal and stupid turning circle are all warspite gimmicks
omw to design an italian line where all the ships have 2x3 turrets
what's the travesty with yamagiri
Lyon prelim lookin ass
Your best opportunity to use proto-shimakaze, and they yeet her out of the window
most of them are real designs

For reference, original design requirements for Shimakaze called for 40 knots on two Septuple launchers
Why do thunderers turrets look like enlarged Cheshire guns
Lol
Fake gun, fake hull (bloated Neptune, count the portholes), and a fake name
234mm
for a less assblasted answer, most navies turrets designed in the same period start looking similar to each other, unless they're an enormous size/purpose difference
which is why USN ships start looking really samey without scale
That's not the problem
The 9.2" guns should have slanted edges and resemble something closer to the 152mm triples of the Town/Neptunes
Horse they nerfed Dupleix
Not a fucking BB turret

did they

and 13.8 conceal
i honestly didnt bother playing dupleix because i was busy grinding cherbourg and rooke lmao

grinding cherbourg
dear god
's been fine so far
i love how the AP overpens everything
Dupleix isnt out yet
even BBs
i get test botes
Oh
he's a r/wows mod


can hornet fucking drop
Special privileges
it's been 35k
chomping at the bit for the next batch
i've facerolled devil with my chinese missiles for hundreds of times now
given it has illinois and SUPER NAGATO probably
if i still don't get her i'm driving up to alameda and kidnapping the ship

which one is super nagato
Waiting for Clemenceau in either game
Daisen
if fucking extendo nagato is the obligatory IJN PR i am perfectly
completely content
what the fuck is daisen
Project A125
EXTEND
hard to sell daisen for pr6 when uh
NUGGET
Improved Nagato
musashi
exists
its fucking exist
they'll take one of the CL shitters
gimme paolo dr
Illinois tilts me

watch illinois have iowa on her ass plate
Paolo was an option?
i think that uss constitution should be added into the game
you don't want glowworm on fifteen tons of crack?
They made it worse, actually
i miss the old days of dd shotgunning
Just play Submarines.
Doubly bad

but there is already a ship with sails in the game
Mate
leave
WG hates everything.
🚪 👈 
yeah that can come too
we'll get some ming dynasty shitter that's in the deepest recesses of baidu
mark my words
OR EVEN BETTER
THE FUCKING MARBLE BOAT
The Royal Fortune and its consequences have been a disaster for the mobile game Azur Lane.
you don't like rf?
she's cute

She has greatly extended the period of ships available, but destablized the pool of ships available, have made age of sail combaf unfulfilling
I like Royal Fortune, I like Hamman II
But I hate the concept for them to be in the game.
unfulfilling
[do the rest of the copypasta yourself, not worth the effort]
I have, and I dont fucking like it getting cucked in a submarine fleet regardless
Jij bent zo
it's like they built an entire ship out of meth
Aoste watching his brand new prototype Arbiter get absolutely fucking annihilated by a 1600s pile of logs

it's absolutely
COMICAL

how she has like some of the highest frontline dps ingame
she's more like an age of sail fucking CIWS with the sheer barrage of shots
its hilarious
I haven’t bothered doing anything with RF
if she was regular frontline she would trivialize most content
^^^^^^^^^
she probably has higher dps than plymouth
fuck your shields lmao
Wut
would they ever add supply and tender type ships to azur lane?
after kashino totally flopped i kinda expect them to make auxiliary ships another kind of secondary fleet ala subs or cats
it's just part of the original text 
kashino flopped not because the concept was flawed
but just because, she was bad lmao
Its that and I just dont like it being placed into sub rather than sec fleet tbh
the concept is very flawed
the concept is terribly flawed in its implementation
"hey look we made ARA but worse"
oh gosh the firebrand is actually in azur lane
You know what, time to use Canned Coal as an example this time for good support ships
Specifically, the Fast Succ
Your fleet runs out of ammo, instant auto refill to full and you can shit over everyone again
today i looked at the royal navy one for the first time
Alas, not relevant in Opsi or something as originally expected
AL be like: out of ammo? lmao fire blanks that only deal 50% less damage
Make it more broken then
I run Bisko just to reduce the penalty even less
Deal 150% damage upon resupplying
were there carrier based spitfires?
Seafire
You mean the Seafire?
Seafire
They had some hiccups being a land plane first and foremost
Wasn't a good plane because of the short landing gear, IIRC
The name in the other servers for it is the Seafire, EN has it as Spitfire for some reason
wyverns being the hypest shit still pleases me immensely
Both are Seafires in CN and JP
You know what would be funny
wyvern is too hard to get

I just want a Ryusei dive bomber
where is the propeller
It's just a hull mockup sadly.
hell yeah
what does it uh, do
Only as Hornet and Shangri-La’s skills
goes on a fucking adventure
B-25s are not carrier operated aircraft
usually
Hornet's ones in Doolittle Raid are heavily modified versions
um actually the doolittle raid

And all crashed with the exception of one
I mean like what advantages does it have over negato
it doesn't seem to have any added main guns like an amagi
Spid
The thing you dont like

Armour is godawful from the look of things
well 35 knot is a meme at least
Citadel is extremely high
how bad
Also, hear this Maka
for when you need to fucking ram a fletcher
Daisen has six shafts
kek
oh no
but im not sure why you would play this over like
an izumo
or iowa
does it have torps?
sheer hilarity
It certainly does, and follows the plans quite well
also it gets BC dispersion i believe
also
so tl;dr
gem i just got
squishy but hyper accurate and hyper speed nagato
except ijn dispersion is already pretty damn good
are the guns the same as amagi's or izumo's?
if they were izumo's then it might be worth it
Specs on the Hiraga design:
Dimensions: 268,22 (pp) x 284,38 (oa) x x 29,26 x 9 meters
Displacement: 40.850tons (standard)
Armour: 229mm Belt, 25mm over Machinery, 38mm over Magazine Deck, 76mm Slopes
Engines: 205.000shp Gihon Steam Turbines, 6 shafts
Speed: 65km/h (35knots)
Armaments:
4x2 410mm/45 Type 3 / 3rd Year Type Cannons,
20x1 140mm/50 Type 3 / 3rd Year Type Guns,
4x1 76mm/40 Type 3 / 3rd Year Type AA Guns,
4x1 533mm Above Water and 4x1 Below Water Torpedo Tubes
Belt in WoWS is replaced with a slab of 305mm
presumably a kongo-esque uparmor
4x1 533mm Above Water and 4x1 Below Water Torpedo Tubes
41k tons and 9 inch belt with 3 inch deck, I think I'mma faint
lexington has arrived
The big offence here for me is how they basically glued Takao's torpedo deck to her
yeah this is pretty much lex tier nightmare bullshit
But we'll see how that works out
looks pretty fun at least
especially given its BC accuracy and 2.10 sigma on the ijn 410mm
9
wat
can't wait to see what box of gimmicks it gets if it's tier 9
they're izumo guns
ohhhh
like i said
ok, that's much more worth of a sell
bc dispersion on izumo guns, and mach 3 uber speed
Its Iwami on steroids from the look of things
basically its packing fucking rail guns on steroids
what the mcfuck is this
what fucking planet does this makes sense
the gun literally 10cm larger has 20% worse pen
well don'tcha know
i'll take that over steel at least
i only just got stalingrad dont make me pick between this and incomp
me still reeling over buying sherman
Took me too long to get Ohio
presumably the price
steel cost yeah
revel in my basedness
yeh
wows becoming less greedy over time and adding more and more stuff that just
gives you stuff
theres not even the usual superfluous bullshit in it
its raw economy all the way through
and a sprinkle of port slots
shits good
What percentage of WoWs ships are WG “based”designs
While not WG based, 60% of the USSR fleet is paper, unsurprisingly
Are all the ships tier V and lower real in the main tech trees?
🤮
No
Oh no
yeah, it's bad
some of the lines had to add shitty paper designs because the actual starting ships were too swole
How fake can you get
like kongo for example
hermelin
i mean look at the original lines though
amagi, izumo, montana, phoenix, zao, hak, etc.
we still had a pretty high fake ship ratio back in the day
there is also a 18.9k tons 343mm version i cant find now
its really hard to do a game like this for several years while not bringing in weird paper jank
its not like tanks where there's a million variants of everything you could think of
I mean they also just artificially stretch stuff as it is so it's not like tiers can';t be filled
Being in the fletchers and gearings ships
boats unfortunately are expensive and take years to build
Just
nevada and kongo being the same tier is extremely asinine
Enjoy
Is Nevada in the game???
okie is
maka you know speed matters in wows lol
One of your main problems in WoWS now is that WG is actively pushing all the shit into tier 9-10
Jean Bart is where it all started
yeah almost everything is tier 9 10
UP90 8k tons 2x3 254mm
UP102 10.5k tons 2x3 280mm
Project 770 (maybe) 17.5k tons 2x3 254mm
(to be fair JB should have always been t9)
The pan American cruisers casually cruising at nearly 40knots
Thats not what I meant horse
we also disagree
Like someone said
line should've just been richelieu->jb->alsace with their plating/tds/accuracy not artificially gimped
If you ever feel worthless
but then again baltimore and prinz eugen are clearly similar in power
Someone in the 3D department needs to make tier 3 ships
What is this “balance”? https://blog.worldofwarships.com/blog/404
We're applying balance changes to the following ships based on the analysis of both their combat statistics as well as player feedback: Japanese T
Which the average player likely skips without ever playing it/1-2 battles
they won't
True
the only balance parameters in the game are bow plating and he fire chance
They will make it more bias for the Russian and nerf the Germans
its a tiny one but still

face the wall
first part might be right but germans are strong in wows
Why
Mainz
they started the secondaries arm race cuz their guns just magically had more range than everyone else
fucking bitching about russians and complaining about germany getting it bad from weegee in the same sentence
my fucking sides
They nerfed Z-42 basically instantly
Z-42 is a joke anyway
🚮
But seriously, no
Hindenburg remains one of my favourite cruisers
correct kansas line guns
The Kansas line eternally pisses me off
The Kansas and Minnesota guns are weird
How they massacred them
the only thing ill give it that unnerfed renown is more valuable than the german paper thing in the dockyard
but thats about it
Schroder?
yeah that
can't even get their real guns
comically shite
Remember, Kansas' funnel goes straight into the food locker
Hang on, let me find it again
yup
Well, that’s one way of cooking your food
mmyaes now that we made agir incredibly lame by snapping her secondaries away
lets now release her again but worse
Burnt hot dogs
'welcome to the inflated reload department how can I be of assistance'
'I'd like my guns to be faster than reality'
'what nation are you'
'merica'
'sorry no can do'
38 seconds take it or leave it
dual purpose, because it both fires and cooks
And they are basically the same as the NC and SD guns
"Hi sir, yes, I'd like a circumcision please"
"A vasectomy too while you're at it"
sometimes it be like that

at least
sherman has historically accurate fire rate
austin was aborted at birth
instead of spanking it for it to take its first breath, they hit it with a club
because we need 12 guns with 40 rpm
like be real maka
there is no fucking way canon austin is making it in
austin guns aren't the ones on sherman
Best I can do is a CL with 10 5,25" at 70rpmpg
Autoloaders
One of the Dutch crews managed to get 12rpm out of an old 15cm.
You know what you are right. They shouldn't add new German ships because people will cry about them getting nerfs later
If WG truly hates Germans why even make new ships for them right?

I just want to know how wows isn't biased for germans too
Campbell...
Like I'm tired of "WG hates Germans they keep nerfing ships in testing" when they KEEP getting new German ships
smolensk was also hated by literally everyone and taken off sale
so
uh
like of their favorites the germans are clearly one of them
yeah thats not really a good point in favor
Isnt that their whole business model?
Balance things by making the good stuff unavailable so everyone always buys that shit out of fomo.
Just put it in whale boxes
I mean, the Russian bias is because WG is Russian
Easy
Akshually
the russian bias is because weegee is russian, yes
there are 2 nations with over 50% fake stuff in game
hint, one is germany
man they sure hate germany
So you wouldn't cry if they werent Russian?
The other is Dutch
hakuryu/thunderer/the hyper cancer swedish dd thing i cant remember
Fuck, Tromp managed to push the Dutch below 50%
No, I’m just commenting
Smaland?
the bias there is because they're also japanese/british/swedish simultaneously
trust
the ships or the publisher
French DDs literally powercreep Soviet DDs to next level the moment they came
People: Russian Bias
yeah
Smaland
The Dutch have some real ships too.
They're poorly implemented and very flawed but real.
Which nation has the highest percentage of real ships
hey developer is [insert nation]
Gouden Leeuw brings me pain
Pan America ye
Uh, not sure if I have the table
De Witt's funnel looks like a clown car
i can now be mildly racist and bitch about their nationality whenever one of their ships kills me
Ugh

Slightly outdated
exact same thing would be happening if they were german or french
god FORBID they were fucking british
when british CLs or BBs came out
holy fuck the isles would have burned
Remember when British BBs had radar
In testing
british bbs are annoying but I still don't get what is strong about british cls
AP
all cruisers have ap
British can't use HE
they were physics defying nightmare machines that basically molested the meta on launch
yes and that's a disadvantage considering it's the best ammo type for a cruiser in 80% of scenarios
They Have special AP angles
belfast can use he and radar and smoke simultaneously
the most laughably OP thing they've ever put out by a good margin
but nikolai exists
we also gave her the t8 equipment slot for literally no reason!
Nikolai like Enterprise stayed on shop for 1 week only
You still think Belfast is the most OP ship Weegee have released to this day?
nikolai is just dumb firepower
because it';s the most op thing ever released
What happened
belfast makes games boring
Nikolai and Pre Cv rework Zeppelin
nikolai makes games imbalanced

Pic of Nikolai pls?
I remember playing ranked with all the stupid belfasts, I wish to forget
belfast is the one that wins games out of the two of them
Ain't tier 4 is full bots now?
no one can see anyone
yeah they changed mm and that actually super nerfed nikolai
since nikolai is a t6 ship in all but label
tier 4 and 5 are just
meh now
Yeah she is improved Impretritsa Mariya
Who isnt in game
Some reason
Maybe Nikolai
Ye..
i have no idea why they went for veliky over mariya yeah
Same stupid reason they remove Kirov from tech tree

Put her 6 180mm? Version instead
also shoutout to cavour printing me free steel in ranked
the only ship with a higher winrate than nikolai is internal bs
to compare them belfast has 56% winrate, which is broken yeah
nikolai has
almost 62%
Hah, British BB initial testing
- Belfast is tier 7
because nikolai is way older and exclusively played by whales seal clubbing t4 players
DFAA, good meme
t7 is a way different ball game
yeah
another year of gremy not dropping
kamikaze is also way up this list, ceasare too
Lowenhardt vs DDs at tier 6
ceasare at a haha funny 57%
What is so special about fujin and kamikaze
Speaking of funny botes, Arkansas B
good ol 46%
chester has higher winrate lord save us
Which ship has the lowest win rate
aapparently tatra
what the fuck is a tatra
oh right
fiji still has higher wr
fiji gang represent
then who? belfast?
it's nmot
it was the case 5 years back then, and it is the case now
false alarm
what the fuck did you just say
57.5%
does it somehow not?
qwerty having a normal one
Qwerty is mad at maka
lord i am confused at why you would make that statement
Yes
decent armor for her tier, fantastic AP, great DPM, torps, smoke, heal, etc.
We eat while this argument goes down
british cruiser armor
unironically prefer her on my team in t7 brawls rather than belfast because you have torps to deal with rushing germans

yes it's actually pretty good
your bow gets overmatched but so does every other t7 cruiser, your citadel has 114mm of armor which is really trolly when angled

bearn has 58.4% winrate

Wut the
In randoms?
yeah
Béarn is sky police after all
because bearn is actually broken
like
the fighters are good, yea, but the true horror is the skip bombers
bearn has more average planes destroyed than sekiryu bombers dive twice
so I believe it
Béarn is the batman of the cv world
yeah, bearn is a modern air superiority bogue
based af????
give me my bogue back wg
I wish to be a surface ship ally
t6
slow as fuck
boring
cute
french too
not gonna bother with t6 CVs
has kinda sorta american planes
too boring
well it's good i was talking to maka then
i mean what's the point? nothing there has aa anyways so you're practically playing co op

that's why they need me to defend them
i wonder what happened to those support CVs
we had one screenshot of taihou pop up
and then nothing
gimme my fucking sex back wg
Like Béarn
i bought malta but i havent played a carrier in over six months so i dont wanna play a t10 one shiet
you'll probably be good in her
malta is good for brainlet and unicum players
ironically not that good for mid players
Where you find that
unironically has more impact than even haku
because you just do
so much
fucking damage
Wut
my own stats for bogue on wows numbers
Ah ok
yeah i just dont wanna bumble back into a t10 match and throw like a dumbass
but i cant be fucked to play lower tier ones to shake off the rust either
hey bb u wanna play tier 10 right now
maybe ill finally properly start the russian line
Daisen at T9
Imagine getting uptiered

Satsuma
i would but i pulled a muscle in my side and its way too distracting to play stuff rn

me on my way to play the slowest dd in tier 10
you're a fucking
malta
it is literally impossible to throw in a malta
unless you do nothing but spam rockets
i have the utmost faith in izumo guns
never let me down before
you can attack a mino at fucking 90 degrees

and take off 50% health
until you shoot at flat broadside ships close range
because ijn vert dispersion
me unironically telling wg to nerf montana to 28 knots and buff it elsewhere is so in character
monty bad
gets shanked for 15k in superstructure
She gets izumo guns?
ye
she does
Hahahaha
likely to make up for her appalling armor
with, yknow, bc dispersion of 2.1 sigma
me on my way to make horse have an aneurysm as I grind british bc line and do terrible
well they just buffed renown
sigma just being a regularly known stat now is just weird to me
st. vincent is godlike as long as you don't die on your first push
yeah you used to need to datamine it
when nobody knew what the fuck it was
and I'd go to the reddit and check you guys
to read it
and laugh at the jokes made at your expense
sigh
im terrified of when they'll start adding premium tx subs
or supersubs
you fucking know we'll see supersubs announced in 2023
giving me a fast ship is how you make me die on my first push, because the enemy can't get away from me
delta iv super ship coming up
Surcouf pls
one has been in the files since the first sub iteration so
me irl
With reload booster
well yes, but u4501 isnt out yet
I wish I could see how many times I have rammed in each ship
because you know
dang and good
it'd be iowa at number 1
since subs take HE splash surfacing any long period of time is death
cuz it's fast
maka you would hate that ranked match i had the other day
where a new york spent like
42.9 knots go BRR
bless
probably best bb dispersion in the game
i still love the way they did georgia
yeah but she's stupidly overpowered lol

she only has 2 mgms and her barrage is only two shells
why?
one of her turrets is just pointing straight up
yeah idk why she has it
money
she'd be fine without it
that's why
Massachussets is unbeatable in T8 brawl
i adore the stupid upturned gun gimmick
Its hilarious
play tirpitz and hide behind an island
the good ol fisticuffs
massa only wins against stupid tirpitzes that chase her kiting in open water
I’ve beat so many tirpitzes in my massa
(which is most of them tbh)
then again I have a video on my twitch of me sailing into like
4 people in alabama
and killing all of them
but against a competent tirpitz, i'd still honestly take the german BB
Good luck
simply because the torps give you a decent area denial tool, and 32mm sec pen
yeah german BBs automatically lose brawls
My AP pens you for a quarter of your HP and I have fast regen heals
yeah maybe if you're like
lol
Nope
superstructure is big but it's not taking more than 15k
12k superstructure pens most salvos
that's not a quarter of your hp
And if there's an island having torps means you just kind of auto win
And then just Secondary spam them to death
tirpitz secondaries can pen everywhere but belt and 38 midsection
massa is 26 pen right?
can only pen super
Thats not an issue
Massa has the accuracy to land hits and set fires
oh and tirpitz 150s can still pen 38
Thats the whole thing with massa
i'd still take the raw pen damage
of tirpitz
again, if the tirpitz just acts like a dipshit and chases a kiting massa, the tirpitz will lose
brawls dont happen in a bubble either tbf
but all the tirpitz has to do is push into the cap and keep the massa out
