More radar? Now all the T7-T10 DD which have not >12km trop are shitty DD. That is a great news for BB(Babies) players! But why Des Moines class cruiser is still in game? LET US SEL IT:)~!
Was the warspite penetration angle nerfed?
sorry i don't know Chinese so i use English
Warspite still have regular ricochet angle, she hasn't had it
Baka asks if the penetration angle of warspite will be also changed. But I personally think that warspite has the normal penetration angle at 60/45.
Thank you for answering
I heard the Shiraz is nerfed on PTS, was it intended?
Versions prior to WG in order to be lazy, Belfast and Indianapolis shared radar. Times change indeed Belfast has changed. But we believe that this is the result of WG so far has not been amended.
Wasn't it there already?
So playing a moral strategy {I de chicken feathers and two white gold seems to have sent two krypton effect nothing}
Conqueror becomes another Montana clone. How fun and totally not boring. /s
Ognevoi gets yet another fantasy buff instead of being moved back down to Tier VI or VII where it belongs.
Grozovoi finally has the stats it should've always had from the start.
Trashkent gets a minor buff that won't change anything.
Khabarovsk gets another meaningless nerf that will leave it still stupidly OP.
Did I miss anything or does that about cover it?
Glass held 9.9 radar chicken burgers out of the game film: FAK Des Moines: EXM?
Pug lightning capability has been removed
Full hidden 6km beat the thunderstorm DD
German war………
Tirpitz won't cut it, that's a gold ship, I remember that flooding had cut 130 not chopping ROAR
From the current situation are cut (not excluding eating back
Does the secondary guns nerf also affects premiums?
Can German war bride
