264 [LUOMU] HMS_Swiftsure_08 Supertest Coordinator 1,420 posts 22,661 battles Report post #1 Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Neptune and Minotaur are having low average damage in average data tracking compared to other cruisers of the same tier. So I believe it's necessary that wargaming reduce the size of their citadel in a similar fashion to the USN BB. British cruisers need some love! Ok… This doesn't make sense even to myself. It's actually a rant about wargaming's decision to lower USN BB citadel. I see no clear reason why wargaming decided to buff two average/well performing ships. They totally ignored the Izumo which is perfectly crap. Wargaming buffed something that showed no problem in both statistics and battle performance while ignoring ships that were underperforming. Now if I propose buffing Neptune and Minotaur in the following way, you will know that it's creating OP ships. 1.Reducing the citadel size. 2.Buff the Mark N5's ballistics to be similar to Cleveland's AP (which is fairly good compared to the current shyt bad ballistics). The reason is that Minotaur has far lower average damage compared to other T10 cruisers due to either failing to survive long enough to make damage or failing to maintain hits. My proposal actually make more sense than buffing USN BB. Ok… Just ignore this post if you think I failed to deliver my idea. But in one word, wargaming isn't using their brains when they lowered Iowa/Missouri/Montana's citadel. Edited June 21, 2017 by _Halcyon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in one word, wargaming isn't using their brains when they lowered Iowa/Missouri/Montana's citadel. i agree, the montana hasnt been "weak" since they buffed her deck and speed, she fit the niche of a hast, heavy hitter that can operate somewhat independent from the main fleet very well, even though that position has been replaced by the GK now, she still isnt "weak" by any meaning of the word while Iowa and Missouri might have needed a bit of help the montana certainly dosnt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of people here have English as a second (or third, or fourth) language, nobody is going to laugh at you if you just admit you read it wrong the first time. While the OP is a bit of a jumbled mess, it is perfectly clear that he is complaining about the changes to the Iowa and Montana, and not actually suggesting RN CL changes.

Not sure I'd call them op, they still burn to the waterline just as quick as any other BB and I still find it easier to citadel Iowa and Montana than I do Yamato or Kurfurst.
