They are supposed to have, as you said: Small ships, fast reloads. But not fastish ships, since that is not a national trait.

I don't want to blockshot them, just that I don't like being  two shot by a rushing BB with lazor guns. It is not fair and you know it. 

They are going to fix the spread and the reload time AFTER they balance all the other traits that make those ships so OP (Turning force, KM Speed, High damage and Armor penetration and insane submergence).

Don't worry, RM will still be the easy street. Just that after all these things are done, those ships will not be the autowin they are now, nor they will pull the fictory card so easily.

To be honest, I don't understand what you mean when you say RM ships aren't supposed to do linefight. So, are they supposed to rush the middle like new players do on Blitzkrieg? I really believe that these ships are supposed to do linefights, but are better at counter rushing and hit and run tactics than slingshotting because of the low angles and fast reload speeds, this basically translates on ships tha can close into range, fire 2 or 3 salvos and then retreat to repair. 

I honestly hope that you are not advocating to make RM ships able to just rush and fire while lowering your angles and getting closer to the enemy, after all, you are supposed to be a BB and be able to fight like one. Giving RM ships this capability will mean that a lot of people hard work, hours of learning, and also time spent leveling up crews for all the other 5 nations will be just a waste, since there is no counter for a BB4 that can soak up full salvos from BB6, while dealing a huge ammount of damage and pretty much ignoring armor. 
That would be unfair and make other nations usless.

Range advantage that comes at the cost of ridiculous damage and paper ships? Negated because you are closing in and just need to move a few inches until my ship is within range of your lazer guns.

Damage advantage that comes paired with low range, or high range but poor speed and defense? Ignored because of great ability to absorb damage and also small hitbox. 

Acurracy advantage that comes at the cost of reduced damage? Shrugged off because of high repair rate and a minuscule hitbox. 

As you see, if we keep RM as it is all the other nations will be obsolete. You like it or not, the RM is OP and must be fixed. Again, this doesn't means making the ships as large as SN, just a little bit bigger. This doesn't means neither that the damage must be below KM, just in between KM and UK. This doesn't means the RM ships must be made as slow as SN ships, just a little bit not so agile (Since the small hitbox makes up for the lack of agility).

RM will still be playable and it will be as good as all the other nations on it's dedicated job.

Try to contact the main testers and actually go and help them with the tests that are supposed to fix RM instead of creating these QQ threads to whine about loosing the OP adavantage. 

With nothing else to add, I say good bye. Untill your next reply.

I'm gonna laugh at you once the patch has gone through.

Sorry but this nation is so OP its not even subtle

-Laser shells

-Shells travel so fast that it seems italy can manage two salvos by the time my first salvo lands (Super Yamato)

-Tiny little targets for ships (slightly bigger than PCL's)

-Awesome speed

-Insane durability

-Retarded amount of shell damage

So this is a nation without any drawbacks...oh wait your shells dont make big splashes...

This ship is more like Anti-BB killer than it is a BB competitor. No ship should be a counter to all other BB nations with no natural counter to it...isnt that the definition of OP??

In my opinion they should seriously nerf the amount of damage that Italian BBs can take, historically the Italians did have fast ship with long range guns, but they did that by sacrificing armor. Look at the raid of Taranto, a small raid of 21 Swordfish Torp Bombers (with only half carrying torps) were able to sink a BB and damage/sink quite a few others. 

It took the Caio Duilo 6 months to be repaired from a single torpedo hit and the Conte Di Cavour was never repaired after 1 torpedo hit (the raid happened in 1940 and they still hadn't fixed it by 1943) 

Want a quick way to make this nation fair??


Make their ships more fragile than French ships

and

Reduce the nations shell damage



You can have one nation that is better than all other nations in 9/10 aspects.

Come on SDE duh?
