Previewing the Russian Destroyer split, please keep in mind that all ships are still subject to change, but all in all I think I have a decent feel for what WG is trying to accomplish with the split. Making one line the more traditional gunboats, while the new line becomes a support line. Anyways, enjoy the preview.
Another anti-carrier line. Because carriers were evidently too powerful, and USN cruisers were so very popular.
Meanwhile the USS Flint, Black and HMS Belfast are slowly breaking the game
Given how hard these Russian names are to pronounce, I suggest we start coming up with NATO-style reporting names.
Lol it’s extremely windy where I am too. Scared the hell out of my cat, causing him to rip my stomach open xD
best wishes to you and you close one.
*EDIT: I just noticed that the Minsk actually has 0.1km WORSE surface detection! SO 0.1km better range, 0.1km worse detection and crap torps!*
Don’t know about the Minsk, but Leningrad has a 25 second stock 180, so Expert Marksman is needed, at which point it goes down to just 20 seconds which is very manageable
But why change the names? haha
Yep, looks boring.
Ok, 3 battleship lines and 6 destroyers lines ? Seriously ?
I was hoping tier 9 would have Woking torpedo
Basically on the Main line:
Gnevy Nerf
Ognevoi Nerf
Kiev Nerf
Tashkent Buff
Udaloi Nerf
Khab the same
The Grozovoi seems to suck what can you do with 10.3km main battery range? even with AFT you are not gonna be able to evade shells from max range, even if you smoke yourself from max range to shoot, you are gonna get radared.
Yay, excally what we need, more glorious russian stalinium vessel instead of the following
RN BB and CV and DD
Fixing CV in General
Italy navy
Fixing IJN DD (probably not gona happen)
John Wick Chapter 1: A Dog’s Purpose
10.3km range on the tier 10? Tier 5 DDs can outrange it. What the fuck.
Damn. Just wish theyd buff the increasingly underpowered japanese DDs already.
Seriously, The only worthwhile ships in the entire line are Fubuki, Shiryatsuyu, Akizuki and Shimakaze. All the others are shit.
The English auto-caption for “Tashkent” is “Trash Can”
I think shoehorning destroyers into a support only role is a bad move. Light tanks in WoT are rather bland and rely heavily on the team to do damage for you. I don’t want destroyers to become like that.
The reason they moved Gnevny into Tier 6 is just because Ognevoi isn’t there anymore. Of course moving Ognevoi to Tier 8 is bizarre in its own right. And I really see no reason for the split to happen all the way up at Tier 8, instead of starting at Tier 5 or 6.
Also, Grozovoi’s guns historically had a rate of fire of 15 rounds/minute rather than 12. I know that Grozovoi is a paper ship, but those guns and turrets are very real.
John Wick best movie ever
