I love seeing that ship broadside, its a free kill

@@AH-64E_apache lmao yes

I devstruck one on release day, a minute or two into the match. That poor sod just spent a lot of money on that and I just took him out like that.

But it's contradicting what they said high level citadel protection from Andalucia.

you get that with most cruisers, it’s not really a surprise. it’s genuinely nice, and the 234mm guns are great from the cataluna

Overmatch is just a bad mechanic honestly..

@@FrostBeam009 it was nice when your only fear was the yamato class of ships, but now we have like 10 battleships that can overmatch 32mm and more that can overmatch 30mm and 31mm. I can see weegee eventually having to buff crusiers across the board because of overmatch

@@Dragonwolf920 Yeah, it's getting a little nuts.

​@@Dragonwolf920WG buff cruisers? Lol. They're literally here as overmatch food to keep BB players playing.

You dont have to get that close with the high tier spanish cruisers. Their main battery is quite effective even on longer ranges with th AP pen and the shell speed is quite good, so aiming is also not an issue.

Same. I agree with this and why I stopped playing this ship.

I notice that too and it bothers tf outta me

Legit almost every "aiming bug" that people have complained about in the past couple of years, have all been tied to one of the games core mechanics and have been around since at LEAST 2017 when I started playing. That core mechanic being the aim assist. It's always been buggy and broken, it's just one of the quirks of the game, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional so they could use it being broken to help balance the game. Another thing to add on why they may not be getting fixed, fixing them may cause a much larger issue to pop up. That's why some games keep long standing bugs is that fixing them creates a larger bug that's even worse. People seem to have the weird idea of game code, and code in general that it's super easy to work on(it can be but that entirely depends on if the original writer left notes and didn't use variable names that make no sense) and that any intern could be made fix this stuff. When that is FAR from the truth, a lot of the time fixing a long standing bug in a game as large as Warships can take months to years to even FIND the bug in the code, forget fixing it in that time, because lets be fair. Fixing a bug that has existed in the game likely since the alpha and players were on the whole perfectly okay with until very recently is a low priority thing. I imagine if it does ever get fixed it will be a devs weekend project more than a concerted effort to actually fix the aim assist.

When in a cv game the game isn’t enjoyable anyway. Kill the carrier kill the sub. Fun starts

OK but Napoli guns have zero output. Not to mention the weird dispersion curve that harms her damage even more. She's very good, impossible to kill and a brawling menace... But the comparison to Castilla makes little sense. Castilla should be compared to Henri.

​@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to you realize Napoli and this ship share the exact same cannons right? Comparing these guns to HIV is even worse since HIV has outright better pen and can citadel bbs while overmatching more and having higher fire chance and overall damage

@@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to AMEN !

Burst fire as a finishing move is great. Too many ships always seem to go dark at the last second but smart use of the burst really pays off.

This is my point an earlier post. A burst at range then you can go dark. Wait for the good shot and burst again. Once the reds are whittled down. Close and use the burst to delete ships. Just don't think many players have figured this out.

Hope he uses IFHE

@@sliceofcheese8360 yeah I hope so too lol

I second this

I've also heard that the game engine, though heavily modified, is now 20+ years old.

they released a dev blog a while back with changes to cvs and, essentially, they completely gutted cv spotting. so its a step in the right direction at least

​step in the right direction? How is making an entire class blind and unable to do anything useful? I admit that cv is powerful and possible subs too but making subs unable to defend themslves at close range and making cvs stumble around like Velma without her glasses is a poor way to do that. A better solutions is less damage from cvs and better AA.

@@thelonelyturkey7902 cv spotting completely kills torpedoboat dds.

Using Spanish burst against Sub and CV is pure fun, it is as fun as using SAP to show them who's the boss.

​then they should have better AA. So the CV does not ha e the incentive to wipe them. Ive played all classes. I am agreeing there are problems but taking away class vision or making them literally helpless is not the solution. I've seen plenty of skilled Torp DD players dodge my attacks or plan ahead of the CV to make themselves harder to find by not being so predictable.

Lighthouse mean to abuse 4th tier commander skills that let let have shorter reload cooldown when enemy ships in normal spotting range.

@@RinKiShiZiKa Thank you for the explanation Rin.

@@RinKiShiZiKa You forgot to add the important part of your detection being increased to a ludicrously high amount when you do that, hence the name.

They trade that for being smashed by any BB with guns above 380, but that's just average cruiser armor at high tier these days

Pretty much this, ship just feels so vanilla

True, I used to really love the Hindy but it's quite painful to play these days with all the very large calibre battleship guns at tier 10/11.

Agreed. If it had improve pen angles or better penetration, it would be much better.

Found the T9 really strong in ranked, so try it there whenever it's next T9.
