  • German range advantage

Finally, after grinding my way 62 levels of hell (Well, I suppose the first 12 weren't so bad 'cause everyone was even...) I made it to my 'Horst. I get to enjoy the awesomeness that are the tripple 11" Ns. Barring the fact the the British 12" have pretty much the same range as me, more armor, better repair, better restore, and a ton more damage per a shell than me, I'm pretty happy. But I can't see a bloody thing. Not even close. I have 360 experts and 50 vets, so my BO isn't lacking exactly. Regardless my shots are so poor I have to get a few angles closer and...well, there goes my slight advantage and all my disadvantages come crashing down upon my head. I'm used to having to guess where my shells are landing (I mean, heck, everyone does) but this is insane. I can't see them about 3/4 inches before they hand. Again, I'm pretty good at guessing where they land, but I can't hope to know whether my shot fell 10 pixils too far or 10 pixils too short. Fine tuning my aiming isn't possible.

Now what I suggest is either upgrading German FCSs, slightly, to reduce this or perhaps give our BOs a +2 bonus.

For the BO bonus, let's assume the Sailor is properly upgraded, has a +15 pot, and has a 32 base stat. At level 1 that means his pot is 32. 11 levels of leveling will mean his pot is now 197. 50 additional levels will mean 1097 at level 62. Now let's compare that to a "new" german BO: 1197 at 62. Barely a 9% advantage over other BOs. But I think that'd be just enough to be able to use our advantage. Pretty much the only one we have. A slim advantage at that, too.

ok first off... rp12 isnt 12 inches... its 15.... and yes it is a little bit early for brits to get that much range, its gay...

what base was your bridge operator? thats probably what the difference was...

its not the games problem to solve, its yours, because you rolled a bad sailor, and kept leveling him rather than starting a new bridge operator...

with the range of US 12 inchers..... i cant see any shots from 43-45 degrees... (but that is SOLEY my sailor) so i have made the mistake myself...

plus there is no need to fine tune your guns, as there is (or rather should be) enough spread to be off a degree or so and still be able to hit...

Yes but for me they are gold. Sailors need them I would think but i'm only level 28 right now so.

Experts are fine. I can get those easy enough...

But 700 experts burnt on EACH of my gunners so far...nothing. Zero. Zip. 140 tries and I got nothing.

I would love better accuracy but I will have to do with what I have. My sailors took punishment today one BB killed 2 experts and 13 rookies in on hit today and make me cry inside for those poor sailors. I'm not that upset i but that is enough to put me back about 2 games.

Just some rabid pro-german players complaining why they got owned :p.

Or maybe he brought up the point that I did: Germans need more acc for the same type of guns than other nations.

I don't know. I didn't read the thread.

Possiblely, I saw a thread before the new site was put up. Someone was complaining along the lines of. "UnNerf the German Accuracy" it confused me as I didn't know it was nerfed or if it was nerfed or if the person was just confused more so than I.

I don't belieive German acc has been nerfed recently. But it does seem German sailors need a higher acc ability when using the same type of guns of other nations. Maybe it's because German guns come several levels later than other nation's guns?

I heard a roomer that the German's Accuracy superiority was nerfed. Though I'm not really sure if that is true or not, it feels like it is because a week ago I could nail ships with 2-3 shells from distance now I barly hit anything and at near range my shots are god awful. I can't be my sailors since last week I was using the same guns and my sailors have leveled up and gained in experts since then. Though thats just me.
