[@franciscobarquin8718]

​@@johnchapman4793 Yes, but I think it changed. Look at the ease, since months ago, to develop a fully branch for example: years ago, it took lots of battles and XP yo reach a single TX, now you can do it almost in one day with no clue about any mechanic... And look to the "children" that shows some of the news on the YT channel: the game is mutating into an easy-to-enter-quick-to-go kind of mobile game (in my opinion, of course).

[@tegli4]

Both Musashi and Yamato used to have the same turret traverse. The big change that happen was when the captain skills were reworked. Grease the gears was changed to benefit more fast moving turrets than slow ones (it was giving flat degree/s turn rate, instead of % on the base one). That made legendary equipped Yamato have even worse traverse than this, so they buffed it. I guess they intentionally forgot about Musashi, as it is, despite its shortcomings, a very power full ship at T9. About the accuracy. Both ships have the same dispersion curve, Musashi has 1.8 sigma compared to Yamato's 2.1. Considering it is a IJN ship, it is still more accurate than the majority of the ships at its tier. Only USN ships might get better dispersion, only if equipping the 11% mod. Outside that, I think only the other IJN BBs might compete with it.

[@MRMAGICBEAR]

The most statistically powerful OP tier IX ship in the game STILL, with a minimum bid of 20000 Doubloons ($71.29). That is definitely going to go way above that towards $150-200 with 2000 winners. Meaning WG takes $142,500 to $300,000 minimum. THAT IS JUST THE WINNERS not the losers...

You can also lock your turret rotation with ctrl+x or make them aim at the same place using shift+x !

[@zublacus]

Why would anyone shoot guns with the turret locked? There's literally no advantage to do so, and a disadvantage of time. You can CTRL-x to lock during a turn or you can just Free Look (Right mouse) to do the same.

[@dany1441]

@@zublacus You don't shoot like that, you just make them go to a prearranged position and they will stay there until you unlock them.

[@jammo7370]

For any whales looking to grab this thing in auction, it's up for doubloons and if the last time it showed up is any indicator, you need to dump around 40k doubloons, or around 160 USD to get it. I got lucky enough to get it in a santa crate a few years ago and it's probably my second or third most played battleship, and even after all of that I'd still recommend against dumping that amount of money on a single ship.

[@alexandrevandenbossche4105]

But if if you dump even more than 40k, have you a serious chance to have it?

[@captain.foxtrot]

I managed to get musashi back in the day and i would say its worth like 20-25k dubs but not more. In the end its just a (quite good) t9 premium ship and there are several alternatives to get ships as strong as mushashi at t9 such as alaska or jean bart during several events throughout the year. Especially with black friday just 1 1/2 months to come

[@alexandrevandenbossche4105]

In SEA, Sushi is best played early in the morning while the CV mains are still asleep. Or during daytime where it's mostly young kids playing. But anytime above 3pm and you're in for a world of suffering in the Sushi. SEA has guaranteed CV games 19 times out of 20.

[@bradleycoles9018]

and OP subs at the same time

[@enjoyingend1939]

Subs are still worse than CVs, in a BB it mostly doesn't matter if you're spotted as you can already be seen from low earth orbit and cvs are easy to minimise damage against (provided you're in basically a 1v1 situation). Subs though, they will pop up literally out of nowhere shotgun dev strike you with undodgable torps and have enough tankiness that even a 20 inch satsuma HE shell direct hitting them will only do minimal damage.

[@recarunu868]

​@@enjoyingend1939 Satsuma experience to delete submarines is actually opposite in my case, when I tried once, I didn't even have to shoot towards submarine, a portion of depth charge devastated enemy sub.

PQ got some true wows rng dispersion this game good god

[@oniichan4909]

in my experience, in that situation with the veremont, just go for the superstructure, you'll be hitting consistent 10-12k dmg per salvo. only fire at battleship's side when they give enough broadside but when angled like that you'll do more damage with hitting the deck. also, build for reload speed, the more shots you get off the more damage youll do since there isnt a single angle any ship can take to actually not receive damage from you. not being a dick but its your playstyle that is the reason you aren't having a good time. one great tactic if the situation arises is, park you butt towards the enemy with enough angle to allow all 3 turrets to fire, this removes the citadel weakness vs most battleships and you can legit just tank whilst they struggle to do anything to you. granted when fighting overmatch guns the same rules apply to them against you.

Musashi in ranked is ok but in randoms, for me at least, never worked well. I was always uptiered and against cvs this ship is just a floating bullseye.

Why would you do that? It's stupid. And it's auction so it is not trade in ship. If you want a musashi go play yamato it's 2 times better. Don't ever remove the Georgia from your port.. TRUST.. It's just so much better and if not one of the best t9 BB out there.

[@wote2760]

No, please keep the Georgia. She is also not able to get normally and her guns are reliable. Why the fuck would you throw away a busted ship that is much more useable than a t9 Yamato with all her weaknesses?

[@Cloudman572]

Georgia is being played a lot at the moment in tier 9 ranked, Mushasi a lot less and that is not because less have Musashi. Georgia can do more things better than Mushasi.

[@muchoyike]

Thanks for the responses, I’ll hang on to her. The thought popped into my head after seeing this video, so I figure the fastest way to get some informed opinions would be to drop a comment and see who shows up to rip me a new one haha

Something I've noticed is that when you have ships broadside you have a tendency to aim INTO the water and you blame the mechanics of the game. If you are doing that on purpose and see you are not getting the hits you want try aiming at the lowest point of the ship ABOVE water. I would think that the mechanics think you are aiming in the water and not at the ship. I'm just saying.

The current meta is just heartbreaking. AP just seems near useless to me now. I’ve literally broadside salvoed a cruiser with a BB and had all the shots that made contact ricochet.
