Are you for real????

Kansas Sigma Nerf again???

Okay then... They gave DFAA to all Dreadnoughts... BUT its still useless dammit!

The Belfast smoke seems unacceptable but the 9km Radar seems like her Tier 7 Belfast herself

[S0und_Theif]

What the fudge is with all these nerfs?

 

USN DFAA is very welcome, but still no protection against HE spammers. Given with their slow speed.
Even though I know that they are still in testing phase, there is a high concern regarding slow BB against HE spammers.

RIP Kansas...

She has neither the reinforced 38-mm deck or the enhanced, regardless of how slight the enhancement is, repair party and now her Sigma has been nerfed to the level of Pommern. And as a T8 USN battleship she does not even have access to accuracy upgrade!

Kansas is now Pommern and Alsace!

So basically, radar Edin is still superior than that Belfast. I mean Belfast's radar has shorter range than Edin's. in 1 vs 1 situation, radar Edin can just beat Belfast by staying out of the latter's radar range if the latter do the Belfast thing. And Edin has superheal.

40 sec reload and 1.5 sigma with 32 mm armor....
WG please be honest, you just dumb or id*ot and no clue how to balance this thing right ? 
Just remove kansas and split BB start from T9....

[THAI_THIEF]

[dejiko_nyo]

Also, Florida is still Florida and not Louisiana.

While Lunderdorff was changed to Pommern.

I don't think the Lunderdorff name change was pushed by the fans. Since when did WG ever listens to their fans / community / playerbase?
I think it was more of an an Azure Lane push.

Nah I don't think we really push for that change.

Pommern in Chinese is 波美拉尼亚 (Bō měi lā ní yǎ) . While Luderndorff is 波美拉尼亚 (Lǔ dēng dàofū).

I mean despite being full of weebs, AL is still a Chinese product. And as you can see Ludendorff is easier to pronounce than Pommern.

In Japanese: Pommern is ポメラニア (Pomerania). Ludendorff isリューデンドルフ (Ryūdendorufu).

Longer, but is still pronounceable.

And the last thing we need to see is a German furry. Because the British have fallen for it, thanks to that cat called Cheshire.

I mean AL developers and WoWs developers have the T9 ship ready, but they have different naming.

WoWs dev basically conceded to AL dev, since AL content is a money maker to WoWs.

Imagine giving DFAA to ship with weak AA lol.

DFAA will only work on ships who have good AA like EU DD. Thunderer with DFAA on still can't survive a full squadron of Midway planes. 

DFAA is nothing more than accessory on those ships with weak AA.

DFAA is dead since the first CV rework.

RTS DFAA were tough strong before.

THIS after 3x floridas in a platoon all on same team WHILE being in test mode, being played by super testers....they steam rolled the entire enemy team of course.

The whole battle was a complete waste of time.

Lucky they were on my team for that 1% of the time I get them.
