I will rec. this, however:
We all know SDE doesnt give a crap what players think and more than likely dont
read these posts anyway. So this will be a waste of my time... but...
KM was my 2nd choice of nation. My first was US, played them until Tennessee and
quit because KM had the range, and I loved that idea. So I spent my time lvling a
really good (either +12 or +13 for all crew) crew. I went the Scharnhorst line and
was fairly happy with the spread, but found the range to be majorily lacking. Our
Turning force is not as high as is should be, our shell damage is aweful, and range
needs to be raised to more than half a millimeter more than other nations of same
level BB. The Bismarck I found to be a fun ship, but again, it cant take a hit, range is
BARELY (if at all) more than other BBs its lvl, and its shell dmg is miserable. I was
really looking forward to the H39 and was very disappointed in her, too. She is too
large, turns too slow, speed is really lacking, cant take a hit, the spread isnt that
great (even with elite acc gunners b/v/e to max), and its range is the same as other
BB4. All in all, I dont see where any of the KM BBs have ANY advantage over others
BBs of thier lvl. KM is probably the hardest nation to play, fewest rewards to
enjoying them (because they are so nerfed), and really cant stand toe to toe with
any other ships of same class and lvl.
My biggest issue, obviously, is the range. Since that has been covered fairly well, I
will go to my next issue, which is shell damage. I have noticed alot of problems with
this. Sometimes I will land a nice shot onto a BB and my shells do 100 dmg each.
ther times I land a similar shot on a similar ship and either one shot them or damn
close to it. Dont say its because of thier SD or crew or whatnot. If this only
happened a few times every 5 or 10 games it wouldnt be that big a deal, but this
happens all game every game. Another example would be hitting a ship with my first
salvo and getting 10-15k attack. Then firing a second salvo and, getting about as
many shell hits, and only getting 1k attack. it makes no sense at all, the 2nd shot
should have done much more because the first shot dropped thier SD to damn near
0, so the 2nd shot wouldnt of had the SD to deal with.
My next issue would be the speed. I run 4 engies, lvl 90-92 b/v/e (3) +12 and (1)
+13 and I can only get my H39 to top out around 38 knots. I have played a friends
account that has an Iowa and a L1 and Vanguard and he runs 3-4 engies on each
and lvl 88-94 b/v/e. (Not sure the base, sorry). Iowa runs at 40 knots, Vanguard 39,
and L1 41 knots. The L1 he uses 4 engies, the on others he uses 3. Im not sure why
or how, but I cant get the OH to go over 38 knots. I thought about dropping a Rep,
but that would only leave me with 1. On his BB4 he uses 3-4 Rep. So that puts my
H39 at a major disadvantage there, too. So I think speed needs to be fixed, or at
least balanced.
Lastly, the toughness of the KM ships. My crew is lvl 90-93 and I have a SD of
750ish... all other nations can max SD at or around lvl 80 (My UK had is maxxed at
like lvl 65). Yet, here we sit with lvl 90 crew and our SD isnt maxxed yet. (Unless we
use restores, which almost nobody else with other nations use, putting us at an
even further disadvantage with either, repairing rate, speed, or AAing - we would
have to remove one of those sailors to add a restore). Im not saying we SHOULD
have ships that can take a wooping, like the L1, but with all the other problems
listed with KM, this is a serious issue due to us not having the speed to keep others
at range NOR the range to hit other players before they hit you. Not being able to
take a hit is our biggest issue since we dont have speed or range, so I think fixing
this would fix solve some, if not, all of our problems.
I really do hope that SDE will fix these issues, but I know they never will. KM has
had these problems for years now and SDE doesnt do crap except to buff UK and
add more content and cause more problems before they face the more current
problems that have been here for years.
