Commentary about the ship while it's going through the B-roll would be wonderful. Nice to see Kurfurst get at least a little official love.

Less American/British/Soviet spotlights and more focus on Axis and French. There is plenty of sources, content and real life opportunities to experience the first three in plenty of detail but the AXIS Ships and French are mostly overlooked, clouded in fog or straight lost to time. So sincerly please focus more on the looser's or second line actors of WW2.

[@lukafoulke9034]

it was once the "legendary battleship H" , but currently everyone kills him and literally the Germans are the worst branch of the entire game. -montana removes more HP than you can recover -conqueror disarms it in fires -republique hits you with incredible ease -yamato tears it from any angle -kremlin ... the Russian ship does what it wants with the German and not even mention the cruises and their HE, the aircraft carriers attack you without being able to defend yourself, the destroyers with their torpedoes ... and no, the hydro search does not help, since it is so large that you can not turn it well, and you must decide to configure it or resistance (but eat at least 1 torpedoes yes or yes, because you don't maneuver on time) or maneuverability (and they demolish you alive in fires). you don't have the resistance of the kremlin, you don't have the HE shells of the conqueror, you don't have the recharge of the republique, you don't have the firing pressure or the range of the yamato and you don't have the great AP shells of the Montana, just a set of secondary weapons that you will never use, because you can't get close. If we add to that: -that its dispersion is pathetic -that its reach is mediocre (with legendary low even more) -that in tier 10 everyone demolishes it to HE from more range than it can return the blows. -You're HUGE, so there are more points to hit easily ...literally if you use it you are below the food chain , it really surprises that they have that imbalance (and a video does not solve it), but according to you, everything is "perfectly balanced"

[@woobledooble9854]

You clearly see that Wargaming is a russian company, and they are showing their patriotism over the top, the russian ships are completely overpowered. Kremlin assrapes you from any angle, no matter how good your armorment is and is immune to assrape itself. Moskvas guns have low reload time AND high damage AND nice dispersion AND fly very low Chabarovsk and Grosowoi are just cunts. Its just fucking unfair

Powercreep is damn real. This thing was really good when it was first released but as the time went on constant uninterrupted long range HE spammers ended this ship's only real advantage, getting into brawls. You can't even make it to the range where you can utilize your secondaries if (may the god forbid) a couple HE spammers choose you as a target. It's so stupid at some point it becomes funny. Do I even need to mention piss-poor rear turret firing angles? Sure thing you don't get citadelled but every time you fire your rear guns, you eat a good old 15-20k volley from enemy BBs when they return fire. Good luck If you want to stay angled and keep firing only front guns as you won't be shooting for shit with the current dispersion/sigma whatever the hell it is. Enemy team has to be completely incompetent or else you won't be having any kind of fun in this ship 90% of the time.

Greetings, very good details, and nothing to me is as beautiful as the structures and look of the warships. Imposing, majestic and fearless that are offered to a certain groups to operate them.

Here's a suggestion of who worked 32 years in the Brazilian navy on USS Philadelphia ships (Cruzador Barroso in Brazil) another ship the USS St. Louis, (Cruzeiro Tamandaré) on USS Albert David (destroyer Pará) at USS Strong - DD 758, (destroyer Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil) at USS Irwin - DD 794 (destroyer Santa Catarina).

@Worldofwarships: are these ingame models? If so, I'm again going to ask for an ingame or extra downloadable app for pc in which you can walk or teleport over the deck of the ships you so as detailed as possible have recreated. Would be even more epic if you could do this in some kind of port so you can walk across the docks and look at the ship from a few steps away. Ingame atm you just don't get the right sense of how enormous these ships were. I'd love to go even further and be able to have multiple ships in your port at one time si you could compare sizes side by side and next to that to be able to walk across the deck of a ship in first person as a spectator in another person's battle.

Lucky Mies205 size and weight, HP is based on tonnage, GK Realistically has close to 80-90k tons which is mostly on par with the H42 kremlin should not have that much health, the British battleships are actually fairly light compare to the rest of the world’s and they either have the least HP or most HP, depending, Vanguard was about as heavy as Tirpitz while so was the Lion class weirdly. Kremlin should not have almost 110k HP at all and her size proves it

The wrath of the German tech tree is felt through the Kurfurst. I love this ship and even though the tech tree this ship comes from feels neglected, she's no less dangerous or weaker than any of her contemporaries. Nicknamed "The Bully" by several CCs, it's deserving of the name and has firmly entrenched it's place on the battlefield. It would be a dangerous mistake to ignore this weapon of war in any respect or pretend her powerless against her more recent rivals. Glory Be to the Great Elector! May she forever sail and may her roar be heard for all to cower!

[@kuninagako9035]

I agree with she should not be ignored on the field but this GK with these gun never even showed up her blueprints the real main gun size is 580mm thats why she was so big. I feel its about time to give her the guns she was meant to have and that 580mm guns in dual hoising system

BBs that need to get close to maximize DPS; in a world where even other BBs are HE spammers. DDs that are a Jack-of-all-trades kind; but can't be built "well enough", either by capt. or upgrades. Cruisers that are at best, bombardment support. Then they go on saying "Well, the main dev team are mostly Russians, right? Maybe a nation bias then".

Hey there! I had a question : Do you plan to animate the secondary artillery when shooting in the future? :)

[@raulalexandrubota]

Buff the GK because it needs something to be special again! I've made a experiment because I was so frustrated by not being able to do great in my Bismarck with secondary build. You push most players won't push with you to play objectives. Secondarys have 11.3 max range and that's ok but accuracy wise... Could use something like GZ's secondary accuracy. And to stay at 11.3 km of enemy ships isn't really the best thing in a Bismarck and not just torps but being focused by the majority of the enemys. (HE spam) and the superstructure being spamed and taking all the ship HP is so stupid of a concept. Not good firing angles and main guns while only 8 they're just 380 and accuracy isn't something that defines the German Battleships. So secondary build is something situational that most players know to avoid. So I changed to a full stealth/tank build and I'm not pushing anymore (only when the team clearly does it) I mostly let the enemys push me and HE spam isn't that scary anymore because fires won't have anywere near the same impact and you survive longer overall doing more damage and tanking more. Active manoeuvring while staying at mid-long range helps so much more in increasing the ship survivability. I've had so much more success playing the Bismarck like this. The thing is that you invest so much for a secondary build and you don't get consistent results from it.

Please replace the forward most 128mm secondarys with 152mm. The 128s look a little silly with so much deck space around them. The most important buff I can think to the ship is better gun angles, at least 5 degrees, and faster rudder shift to expose the broadside for a shorter moment. Also 40%+ seems reasonable torpedo protection. It's a very big ship, it eats a lot of torpedoes. With current rudder shift hydro does not help too much Please also consider buffing the max secondary range to 14-15km that would be very entertaining. Less related you might want to implement half damage citadel over pens to punish broadsiding light cruisers.

I enjoy how all the people complaining about how the Germans are rubbish meanwhile I, as a Briton am completely happy. I am just waiting for them to patch in Warspite's plot armour.

[@juri8723]

buff the armor. Make it the real tank of Tier 10. Maybe the deck should be 150mm?

The GKF the best looking lady of World of Warships. The best curves of all ships and she can still kick ass, with both her secondaries as her main guns.

Ma di che colore era la mimetica della nave?

Once the possible IFHE Nerf hits the servers...German BBs will be the monsters of the game

[@Hproawesome]

That still not going affect much there LOTs of he spammer in the game and ur dealing people who still play cv

[@raulalexandrubota]

I've heard WG renounced to changing IFHE... Not sure though. I think they wanted to change it from 30% to 20% or so

Will try to recap from the Development Blog: - Plating of the central part for tier VI - VII cruisers is brought to the value of 25 mm. This will cause the ricochet of shells with a caliber up to 357 mm. If existing plating or armor belt is thicker than 25mm, it won't be changed; - Plating of central part for tiers VIII - IX cruisers is brought to the value of 27 mm. This will cause the ricochet of shells with a caliber up to 386 mm. But battleships will still be able to penetrate ships' bow and aft ends, because only the plating of the central part is changed. If the existing plating or armor belt was thicker, it won't be changed; - Plating of central part for tier X cruisers is brought to the value of 30 mm. This will cause the ricochet of shells with caliber up to 429 mm. Armor belts thicker than 30 mm will not be changed; - Plating of bow and aft ends of cruisers with a caliber of main guns lower than 200 mm is made thinner than before: 13 mm for tiers VI - VII, 16 mm for tiers VIII - X; - For tiers VIII - X cruisers with 152 - 155 mm main caliber guns, the penetration of HE shells is brought to the value of 1/5 of the caliber. This will allow them to penetrate same tier cruisers; - Now, HE shells of most ships penetrate the armor, thinner than 1\6 of the caliber. This rule is changed from "lower" to "equal or lower". Thus 152 mm shells will penetrate 25 mm plating; - Plating of tiers VI - VII battleships is brought to the value of 26 mm. This will keep interactions within the class, and between classes, intact considering changes to the HE shells penetration: 152 mm with penetration of 1/6 of the caliber won't penetrate the new plating of 26 mm; - Inertial Fuse for HE shells skill is increasing the penetration of HE shells by 20% and lowers the probability of causing fire by 50%. Changes to plating will make tiers VI - IX cruisers a bit more resistant to the battleships fire when angled properly and will encourage good positioning, similarly to tier X cruisers. Changes of HE penetration will allow us to unify the interaction of classes: cruisers will always penetrate same tier cruisers with HE shells even without Inertia Fuse. Using this skill on cruisers with 150-155 mm guns will be able to penetrate same tier battleships.

Harmless bulletsponge. Great thing to face if you're literally anything else.

[@rikerwilliam6895]

no dan ni un dato sobre la nave?? que paso

[@jonhg92]

they reaaaaally wanted us to see those smoke stacks. why not just do a flyover of the deck instead. we can see much more that way instead of closeups of the biggest ship in the game

[@richardborrnert7108]

German ships must fight hard for the win. Its the anti german nerv. But we dont give up end fight until the end.
