Day 1 it's enough

Karlsruhe is a beast if you can avoid getting crossfired. Her HE can penetrate most if not all BB's armor without IFHE. Her hydro is also extremely good at bullying DDs. With the ability to spot ships up to 5.5km, it is better than the ones found on most of the high tier cruisers. Her citadel protection is solid when angled, you can theoretically win a duel against any BB in a 1v1 situation. The only drawback is the small HP pool.

The only other good ships are Clemson & Svietlana.

God forbid me to win If my team has Myogi, or Rhein, or Danae. Especially Danar, her ability doesn't matter if she eats citadel hits from DDs HE.

You forgot to mention it's got the most insane reload also , even bettering many DD(s)

I wrote this in another thread:

"It's a most unfortunate format, in a 3 vs 3, even if one of the team members lacks common sense and/or screws up badly, the other two remaining team members can still compensate for it and win. But in a 4 vs 4 format, if you are teamed with 2 players who only want to hide behind an island, because that is all they know, or otherwise are not contributing anything then you are screwed right from the start of the brawl."

Some of you may think that my claim of ships hiding behind islands was an  exaggeration, so I took these screenshots. My fellow destroyer and me were quickly deleted. I texted at the Battleships that they should kill the enemy cruiser first as this would give us (the two destroyers in our team) more freedom of movement. No one took notice. And why should I have to request this, isn't it obvious? Anyway, do notice the position of the 2 battleships in our team. It's hilarious.

Note to WG staff in charge of brawls: the proper format for brawls is 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3 or 1 vs 1.

Any other format is just too frustrating, because the asymmetry in team composition becomes decisive, all the more so in combination with certain maps (e.g. open maps favor battleships whereas maps with lots of islands inside the cap zones give destroyers and cruisers with lots of torpedoes an advantage). Having a team member who lacks common sense has a more pronounced effect in a 4 vs 4 format.

Get in early and get your 50+ wins before the bots and afk account grinders jump in.

Its gonna be very frustrating when in a team of 4, you have 3x afk and the enemy team have no afk.

Defeat

Dipped my toes in before.

1st game in Nikolai I vs CV - yeah....Didn't end well

2nd game we had 2 DDs reds had none. We capped then they both died asap - yeah....

3rd game I said "F$%k it" and played Hosho for the win.

CV's are so ridiculous and broken in this game mode. You will get f all XP playing CV, but you will influence the match to such an extent that you can almost guarantee a victory.

WG taking some very strong crack...

Some of the battleship and cruiser players are just parasites, they let others duke it out and secure a win for the team while they hang back. Was in such a brawl just now. Our team had a Rhein, Wyoming, Queen Mary and my Izyaslav while the red team had 3 battleships and a carrier. The Wyoming went right into the cap with me, ably supported by our CV, while the Queen Mary played like he was in a random battle: he went to a flank right from the start of the brawl and chose to engage the red team from a distance. The Wyoming faced 3 enemy battleships with support from our CV and me. We won because of the hard work of 3 team members. I reported the Queen Mary, I doubt if it will have an effect though.

not even a tiny bit surprised , been seeing this for ages , especially in Ranked and in Brawl , they are using the teammates as fire bait and meat shield and since the teammate already fight it , even if the teammate end up dead the enemy end up weakened and easy target for the taking , and while the team actually fighting they can farm from the back with ease .. it happen often and its on display everywhere .. guess why i keep saying I had no faith and no trust in guns these days , basically if they do not show themselves at the front fighting the front then well they deserve no respect and no support

2 segments (4 wins per) a day to complete Brawl

[Andy_Siau]

More than 8 wins today

[Sambo_Cigars]

Our team had a Wakeful, 2 Moltke's and my Izyaslav. The red team: Clemson, Bourrasque, a Moltke and Komsomolets. Our team killed the red Bourrasque and Moltke and in turn both the Wakeful and my Izyaslav were destroyed.

This is what happened then: one of Moltke's in our team tries to take the caps, facing the torpedoes of the Clemson and attacks from the Komsomolets. The other Moltke, instead of giving support to his team mate, chooses to go after the Komsomolets. He thinks capping is just too dangerous with a Clemson around, instead he chooses to farm the Komsomolets. As it happened, the Komsomolets wasn't even where he thought he would find it. The Clemson torpedoed our Moltke inside the cap.

This game would most likely have been ours, if the second Moltke had returned to the cap and backed up the other Moltke.

Finished. Now I'll scoot off to Ranked to earn me some steel. Nah, I'll start with that tomorrow. 

[Mechfori]

well first game of the evening and the Client crash the connection , and MM is all weird

[Don72]

She's a popular ship

[Andy_Siau]

Done

[Sambo_Cigars]

I think *a lot* of the carrier players use brawls mode to practice. They contribute nothing.

[Mechfori]

The MM is all over the places , and forced too much , I've encounter 3 Cruisers + CV on enemy team when mine only get 3 DD + BB and plenty of such crazy combo
