Slava - The OG Soviet Railguns

The Slava has returned to the game, bringing with it the most ridiculous guns the game has to offer. 406mm shells with incredible vertical dispersion and penetration, capable of citadeling any shit at 20km+. However 406mm has suffered a fair bit of powercreep since we last saw it, and the ship has lost some bow armor.

[@dlegofan]

@@Kermin98 These tier X "premiums" are actually considered "freemiums", ships you can't acquire with real money, and therefor can be nerfed if needed, WG has made very clear statements about this, even going as far as to give freemiums a special symbol in port (the ship inside the golden crown is silver in freemiums, and gold in premiums). Of course, WG avoids nerfing them because it's such an obvious shitstorm waiting to happen that even someone as dense as WG devs would see it coming a mile away. No one wants to grind 60k RP for an Ohio, or 30k steel for a Bourgogne, only to have it be nerfed to the ground right after.

In this regard, I'd like to remind you that aircraft carriers are an essential part of naval history and an essential part of our game now, too. We understand the importance of balance adjustments and they are made as we collect relevant statistics, the current version of the CVs will be further developed and fine-tuned. When being focused by an enemy CV, you've got to reinforce your AA defense by using consumables (and, perhaps, opting for AA-based mounts), asking for help from allied aircraft carriers or sticking to the ships with better AA defense. We can only hope that you'll like our upcoming updates more. Should you have any questions regarding our game, please let us know. Best regards,

I feel really bad for german BB players... German BBs are designed to brawl, but with things like this hanging around they will never get close enough to use any of their secondaries...

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

If you spec full secondary on German BB's you can be spotted from Mars and get HE spammed/farmed before you even get into secondary range. I don't even bother playing my GK anymore, Need to respec it one day just for normal BB captain skills. Basically most BB's these days you have to spec concealment and fire prevention, Otherwise you are the first to die within 5 minutes as they spot and farm you. What's worse is even just to get a few good shots in from main guns,The German BB's dispersion is so bad you are forced to get in closer just to consistently hit anything.

[@vae9430]

david and martine albon you know if you angle against Slava she can't do shit right

[@belladesa91]

GK should hv something like 55-56 deck Armour to balance her huge superstructure. Strong, but pennable by some ships. Instead, we have Kremlin with non existant superstructure and unpennable central deck. What a joke of a game

[@johnmay9726]

the reason why long range snipers are being played more, is simply the power of HE spam, when cruisers and DD's can melt a BB in less than a minute it makes the big ships too vulnerable especially as their reload is 30+ seconds on most, if WG reduce fire damage people will want to brawl more.

[@H4FF]

If people want WG to change their ways somewhat, they will have to do more than complain in KZbin comments. Stop playing, stop paying. As a bonus, it will probably mean you live longer as a result by avoiding rage and stress, lol. Edit: On a sidenote, as if tier 10 was not ruined enough yet. I thought WoT at tier 10 was bad, but I think WoWs may be even worse. That would be a good place to start, looking at the funfactor of different tiers. 10 is just absolute garbage.

[@gabadaba5436]

It seems like the biggest complaint is the long range passive play, which isnt a real complaint to me. It's just the way the game is right now. Ships sitting in the back of the map is annoying, but if you move up you just get focused down by four different ships. If they added a ship with a ton of armor that could get in peoples faces people would get mad because they added an unkillable ship, or it would just become a damage sponge. I think different permanent gamemodes would be good. Imagine clicking random battle, and getting to choose between close, medium, and long range engagements. There are many ways to make the game better without changing the aspects of the ships themselves. They could also make ships like this available to everyone, like a bb tree split. It would give them the data they need to realize this ship isnt fun to play against.

[@ollis1270]

[@minhqun]

The real reason why naval cannons are different from AT guns, even USSR didn't use railguns like that at sea is barrel life. There is so much pressure in firing naval shells that the rifling will be worn after ~ 50 shots (for 220mm Moskva guns), which affects accuracy immensely . Imagine having a gun almost twice the caliber. You would have to change the barrel every 10 shots or so. But WG is like "hurr durr new flavor" and give guns that would literally tear itself apart every shot 10x accuracy of proven, well-made & well-maintained USN guns

[@minhqun]

IMO these russians BBs need 2x GK dispersion & 120s reload to swap those barrels

[@BPKPhoenix]

Before anyone start complaining about Slava. please note two things. 1)this ship is not good at the hands of non good players(majority of wows), since most of the shots gonna miss and the ship by itself is gonna be pretty much irrelevant since its absence of presence. not to mention that even positioning the ship to make it actually work can be challenging sometimes. i ve seen many people so far trying to get safe positions and they end up getting farmed by he or torpedoes. I am not claiming that is hard to park at 22km but getting positions to shoot broadsides, require 1)map awareness 2) advanced thinking/preditctament 2) this ship costs 63k research points. which means not many players gonna get it since it it needs 6 resets and something without countin the x2 bonus ofcourse. even healthy accounts will bleed to get that ship, same occasion with Ohio pretty much

No one, Absolutely no one: WG: here's a russian ship with the best AA, the best penetration, the best armor and the best dispersion in the game!

[@saltefan5925]

And then they try to reintroduce Slava!

[@vae9430]

Léandre it actually has one of the worst armor for t10, coupled with terrible handling.

[@belladesa91]

@@vae9430 it's still too much for a 20km ship.

[@ONW4V3R]

@@vae9430 did you know it has a hidden 400mm plating under the 25mm nose and stearn making it as hard as other BBs to citadel? Also terrible handling... Yamato and stock montana would like to have a chat with you.

[@vae9430]

@@ONW4V3R And it still has an armor that makes it a dmg pinata for any kind of cruiser that it cannot overmatch anyway, while Yamato can easily farm full pen salvos on its bow dealing massive dmg nonetheless.

[@BIGmlems]

sooo what im getting is the fact that this was what iowa was supposed to be ingame but never was so instead they add slava...........

[@ottovonbismarck2443]

I'm sure having seen THAT, it it will prevent people from hiding behind islands ...

[@user-qt5xh9mt7x]

NOOOOO THE THUNDERINO IS SO MUCH BETTEERR NOOOO

[@JohnDiabol]

Cant wait to see 2-3 of these on each side in every game. Not going to ruin the fun of the game at all!

[@saltefan5925]

Reminds me of when they introduced Kremlin... and Smolensk... So glad WG moved CB to tier 6 this season

[@JohnDiabol]

@@saltefan5925 every time they introduce a new Russian ship they have to make sure to that it's the best ship in the game to please the Russian player base it seems. Shameful.

[@phillewis1749]

19.5km on Montana with daft time to target, 4 citadels 😳

[@Love2Cruise]

WG is doing their part in compensating the shortcomings of historical Russian/Soviet navies.

[@attilazoltanszucs5945]

2021: introducing Zhukov which can counter Slava from 40 km and insta kills cv squadrons when they take off, also 15km perma radar against resilient destroyers

[@Happy-xi9hl]

Slava is now perfectly balanced.

[@AdamGibbyMC2012]

Can we get an update of this video @flamu for the commander/skill rework?

[@freeziiwot4429]

How Van i get the slava? Will it be a premium to buy? Your Streams are the best ❤️

[@jpennell5555]

I love the Wargaming Wiki on the slava XD "The bottom line is, Slava's weaknesses more than compensate for her strengths which makes her a surprisingly underhwlming battleship compared to most of her peers. Her passive playstyle may not appeal to many players, but the difficulty of playing her is not very high at all."

[@AdamGibbyMC2012]

LOOK AT ALL THESE POTATOES SAILING FLAT BROADSIDE!!! shit NEVER happens to me

[@SackMaggie]

And WG will just release it just like this and say "It's balanced" for sure.

[@DanielB-ii4up]

Yay more long range sniping BBs because the 40%ers kept burning to death after the first minutes even before most of the dds. Like yuro once said "not the type of ship the community needs but a ship the community deserves"...

[@belladesa91]

I stopped playing BB because I was the only one pushing in after ppl kept sniping with shits like Thunderer and such. If this game keeps going into this direction Imma quit

[@McLoven-vm1ck]

if they absolutely must release this monster into the game they should at the very least mreduce its maximum range a little bit. Being able to hit somebody 22k away in 10 seconds or less with seven out of nine shells and two plus cit's nearly every time is absolutely ridiculous. Add to that the fact that you could be engagef with other targets using good positioning and angling and Slava can punish the shit out of you from nowhere simply because you can't angle against the entire map all at the same time.
