After some hesitation, and I try to resolve the patched things I Came here on NA after 6 years to stop. This patch is a kick in the ass to all the loyal players who nichtnur the number of ships / crew has been rendered unusable by only four would-be dictators, the worst in my eyes, with the credits and points

Thank you for this crap

SN is one nation it seems the test team has no idea what to do with it.

I have seen many mixed suggestions which resulted in this mess. People blaming eachother simply because they had diffrent points of view on how the SN nation should be. The result is this mess of a nation.

I played SN up to the BB5, and I have all other nations up to BB6. The SN is not the kind of nation I would call fun, in terms of FUN I would rate MN as the funnest and IJN as the nation with limitless possibilities, UK is monotone, but fun because of it's ability to just crush everthing in it's path and US as a overall good rate of fun. KM is fun only after you get the BB6 because of it's fast, low firepower, good range BB's.

For SN, it's prety boring gameplay. From BB1->BB3 it's fairly OK. (even IM was ok in everything but the high "submergence value" or "low dissplacement" issue)

The BB4, was weird. In my opinion it was perfectly well balanced for GB but, slightly overpowered for BB rooms with the 12" guns. So it only needed a small adjustment in range department for the 12", instead of the major range nerf.

The 16" guns, although well balanced, it did not meet the intended way the SN BB4 should be played. So they messed around with it, and it's currently broken. Hopefully will get fixed soon.

The SN BB5 is the most boring BB5 I have ever driven. It's like an armored BB with range but without the armor. Had high submergence value although it did not effect balance as much. In GB it wasn't the best nor overpowered both playing against it, and playing with it. It's also the hardest BB5 to dodge DB's and TB's.

It's weaknesses are pretty obvious making it pretty much absolete against a true great player. Now it's broken as hell having the lowest speed, low turning rate, bad survivability, low range, low gun reload, below average damage output, average AA battery. Basically a range-less sitting fragile duck.

Hopefully it will get the range AND good shell damage it should have gotten before instead of people refusing to accept the national traits and still nerf basically everything else.

The same way, UK can receive the monopoly in being the only nation for armor viable, and MN as the fastest, SN should receive the range and firepower it deserves.

Look at KM for example, some believe a fast long range ship is overpowered some believe a slow low firepower ship is underpowered. You buff the 1 thing that won't make it overpowered but, keep it from becoming underpowered or overpowered.

So yes, unless SN is fixed, it's not worth the grind.
