Me playing WOWS: Perfectly angled enemy cruisers nut hugging every possible island, enemy battleships perfectly angled at the extreme edge of the map, potato teammates dying instantly, every enemy targeting me as soon as I move, every hit against me a fire or citadel, every shot of mine an overpen, bounce or dispersion sending my shells to Mars....

Jingles the split BB line has been buffed with their acceleration and Vermont got it's heal cooldown got cutdown to 40 sec and it's side uper plating was buffed to 51mm previously 38mm and it's concealment has been buffed to 12.6km at full build, the Kansas isn't that bad anymore and Minnesota is now even better though both still have the crap AP pen at long range. Addition: the Vermonts AP was also nerfed so now it also has slower shells and crappier pen at long range

Reminds me of a game I had in my U.S.S. Missouri, during which I got seven kills, precisely because the enemy team generously sailed around giving me broadside after broadside. Toward the end of the battle, someone on the opposing team texted “Hey, who let the Missouri kill half of our team?”

You know, there is something really dangerous about a Vermont in arms race. Are we gonna talk about the fact that the reload buffs it got cut the already dismal reload to 21 seconds? I mean it went from low level NPC to Raid boss real quick.

[@howlers8]

LOL and with reload buffs, the JB hits 16second reload. I have a serious love hate relationship with arms race. whether I love it or hate it, depends on which ship I'm in.....

Since this fantasy mode is a thing I seriously wonder what the game would look like if repair ships were a playable class, or ships with healing capabilities that work on team mates. For instance take a level 7 cruiser, give it some AOE healing powers and make it a level 9 ship. Maybe test this out in an April's fools event.

[@cjmpaja]

There are ops with healing ships in the game... There's Transylvania, the Ranger named Raptor, and in the Cherry Blossom scenario, a Lexington, and Essex spawns in, and acts as a healing ship... And in the Sunray in the Darkness op, the steampunk Tirpitz if i recall correctly has a consumable that summons a healing circle. Any ally inside gets healed...

[@MikeKojoteStone]

@@cjmpaja I also recall some team heals in the special game modes. And it was actually quite fun to play.

[@destroyerinazuma96]

@@cjmpaja Awesome, I'll look it up. Are operations time-limited events or a separate game mode?

[@cjmpaja]

@@destroyerinazuma96 it's a separate game mode. Operations (also known as scenarios) is a PVE game mode. You face bots that are smarter than the coop bots, but the rewards are similar to that in a random battle. You have to complete a certain objective (known as the primary objective) in order to win the battle. There are also secondary objectives that gives you a star for every one of them done. A full clear of an operation gives you 5 stars. There are multiple operations available, but one of them becomes the operation of the week that can be done with random people. Any other operation besides the operation of the week needs a division of at least 4 players in order to access. The operation of the week changes every week. Some of the scenarios I mentioned are seasonal (Sunray in the Darkness is active during Halloween), but some have been disabled due to the CV rework (Cherry Blossom is one such disabled operation, but they might bring that back soon).

Pretty sure this is the 3rd or 4th time Jingles has used this Video title. That said, with a battle like that "it checks out". And yes the Kansas still kinda sucks, still no clue how to angle the dame thing and the guns while have improved since release are STILL not reliable. Also on a side note with Battleship only BRISK skill (10% more speed when undetected) you can get up to 23/24 knots in a US Dreadnaught i think. The Oklahoma with its 18 knots speed gets up to 21.7 knots (2.7 knots from the skill).

[@Tundraviper41]

Vermont does not have the Super Heavy AP shells of the North Carolina up to the Montana. The gimmick for the what I call the USN "super heavy dreadnought" line is that the shells from Kansas, Minnesota, and Vermont fire lighter shells then other American battleships. Which is why the 406mm guns and 457s do less damage and penetration compared to other American bbs who have them too.

[@Korkyy]

[@martinpalmer6203]

Heaviest *frequently usable* broadside. Colombo has a higher alpha, but Vermont slow arcing shells and overmatch find a lot more citadels a lot more often. C.Colombo at really close range with AP can do ridiculous AP damage, but Vermont does it a lot more often from a lot further range.

[@henryherold4515]

Acta;ldfjas;jdfually Jingles, Vermont has the second heaviest broadside in the game. Cristoforo Colombo has a heavier broadside thanks to having 16 guns. Especially since Vermont's recent buffs, which gave it USS Ohio's slightly lighter shells in exchange for heavily reinforced armor, 12.6 maximum concealment, quick reloading heals, and improved acceleration characteristics and speed retention similar to British light cruisers. Vermont got monster buffed, and is no longer the garbage hull with great guns she used to be. Now she's a good hull with great guns and a bad top speed.

[@thetankcommander3838]

Just remember, Jingles my friend. “Tillman” designs were FAR MORE than this hot, excruciatingly painful bullshit that Wargaming decided to spew out without considering that the Tillman Maximum Battleships were planned on having. Examples: 1) USS Vermont was taken from the Tillman 1 design, which was to have 12x 406mm guns and weigh around 55,000-60,000 tons, but was instead given 12x 457mm guns. 2) The most wacky designs of the Tillman ships, Tillman 2 and Tillman 4, were to have 24x 406mm guns in four SIX-GUN TURRETS. 3) The grandest apex of the Tillman line was Tillman IV-2, which had 15x 457mm guns in five triple turrets. Basically, this line of American battleships is FAR FROM ANYTHING that the Tillman Maximum Battleships were meant to be, which the ONLY EXCEPTION being Vermont.
