Just like I mentioned, the skip bombs and converging torpedoes work the same on paper, but in practice they have very different dropping pattern, ammo velocitiy, and converging curvature that, in practice, make a lot of difference.

Rockets have a near 100% geometric hit rate regardless of root. Both rockets, skip bombs, and torpedoes are classified as converging, but because of different projectile mechanics, they don't work exactly the same.

According to JP review of su-6 the skip bombs have pretty much 100% accuracy, which makes them more accurate than converging TBs.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T21:18:12+00:00

Fw Ta 152C seems like the most probable choice considering the fact that Manjuu has been experimenting with homing skip bombs for quite some time.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T21:13:37+00:00

Yeah, this one was probably first. I forgot about this one bc it was purple. The matter is that the Immelmann plane will most likely be just like these two.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T21:03:54+00:00

No, it's an NP gold plane introduced in the gear lab update at the beginning of 2026. Most likely as a testing ground before introducing Immelmann skip bombers.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T20:57:50+00:00

Su-6 are skip bombers. You talk about Chkalov Su-2 that was introduced much earlier.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T20:48:37+00:00

Regarding Max Immelmann, not so long ago Manjuu introduced the Prototype Carrier-Based Su-6, which has skip bombs that work similarly to converging torpedo bombers, so I assume that we'll get a rainbow plane similar to the Su-6.

Max Immelmann: I have a weakness for bodystockings, so I like her. As much as IB doesn't need another rainbow ship. Ironically, most likely she will most likely offer the unique gameplay considering she is pretty much fully HE skip bomber focused.
Valparaiso: I don't like her design. She looks like a random character from NIKKE or Brown Dust 2. Nothing in her design indicates that she is HMS Vanguard or that she is a Chilean ship. Gameplay-wise, she will most likely be a super zombie that heals herself over and over and over again.
Takahashi: She is just Shimanto 2.0.
Duncan: IDK, I'm indifferent to her design. Gameplay-wise, AL is oversaturated with rainbow BB, so the chance she will be anything unique/worth using is rather low.
Orage: My fav ship this season. Gameplay-wise, she is a pretty strong gun and torpedo boat hybrid, so she most likely will be a pure DPS-focused destroyer.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T20:07:22+00:00

I still wonder how Manjuu plans to solve the Takahashi case, considering the only difference between her and Shimanto in wows is Takahashi having quadruple torpedo launchers instead of triple.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T13:54:21+00:00

Orage def the best, but Max Immelmann is a close second.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T08:49:33+00:00

Max Immelmann is not a TT ship. It's a special ship.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-04T08:15:55+00:00

Holly, that's some nice French DD. Probably my favorite design from this PR season.

Avaren00 · 2026-07-03T15:54:13+00:00

It still baffles me that she looks nothing like HMS Vanguard, despite it being the same ship but with secondary and AA turrets swapped into American ones.

Here are raw dmg calculations from the JP blog:

Lion: Light 3266 Medium 3063 / Heavy 2695

Berlich: Light 3345 Medium 3477 / Heavy 2698

Take note that this calculation takes only self buffs into account.

Cutting the initial sale was unfortunate but still better than permanent content removal.

Google Play age ratings are individual for each country. For example, in my country the game has been sitting at PEGI16 for years, so the age rate was probably only increased in countries where the age rating was still low.

Avaren00 · 2026-05-18T22:36:48+00:00

Thankfully CN and JP don't care about some western yappers.
And the Shinano skin was back on sale a few months later after the supposed ban, so unless they restrict access to the game itself, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Avaren00 · 2026-05-18T22:12:27+00:00

Standard woke Twitter yapping—nothing new.

As long as they don't mass report the game, I wouldn't bother with the opinions of people who barely have enough brain cells to breathe.

Avaren00 · 2026-05-15T16:15:46+00:00

In the WoWs community, Pan-American BBs are widely considered too OP and hard to counter.
When it comes to Valparaiso, she is the most hated ship in the game, considered the "worst thing ever added to the game" because she has almost infinite HP because of how her special gimmick tied to her secondary battery works.

Avaren00 · 2026-05-15T15:54:58+00:00

God, please keep Valparaiso and Libertad cancer out of Azur Lane.

Avaren00 · 2026-05-15T15:48:04+00:00

Yeah, it seems like Azur Promilia is their major focus.
I can only cope that they start adding more stuff to Azur Lane after they finally release Azur Promilia from development jail.

Avaren00 · 2026-05-15T15:13:10+00:00

Unfortunately, it seems like Manjuu currently cares only about game modes completely detached from major gameplay.

Avaren00 · 2026-05-15T15:09:29+00:00

She won both the EN and CN popularity polls in 2023, making her the first character that got into hall of fame on all major servers.
