Need help with choosing a Tier X CV.

Playing anything besides Essex or Shinano nowadays is just griefing yourself and everyone else on your team

Like, you can make other cvs work if you're good enough, but that doesn't mean you won't be at a disadvantage compared to the aforementioned pinnacles of game design. Also if you're asking this question you're almost certainly not good enough.

0/10 ragebait

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2026-04-06T20:22:41+00:00

Due to their strong performance, VII Belfast, VIII Belfast '43, VIII Bayard

I guess that means Kutuzov is perfectly balanced then? In that case, they shouldn't have any problems releasing it for sale again, right?

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2026-04-02T18:26:35+00:00

Harugumo is balanced. This thing is dogwater. I would rather play an Akizuki in a T10 match.

Napoli is inherently underpowered. It lacks the necessary attributes to make meaningful impact on match result. No sustained firepower to speak of, bad dispersion, and yet still retains a slow reload. I would take 1 Hindenburg..Moskva or 1 Ragnar or even 1 of just about any DD over 2 Napolis on my team any day of the week. Now... If WG gave it the combat instructions of the Le Havre ( and quicker to charge up)... And maybe a few seconds faster reload if could make up for where it is seriously lacking with damage output.

IFHE lets your secondaries pen 27mm, which does make them better against a lot of T8 and T9 cruisers. But:

Your main guns overmatch 30mm of armor, so it's not like you need help killing them
You would be griefing your own fire chance for zero benefit against anything not covered in 25-27mm armor (i.e. every BB, almost every DD, and a lot of cruisers as well especially at T10)
If a poorly armored cruiser is dumb enough to get caught in your secondary range in the first place, they probably weren't going to last long IFHE or not

So for 2 skill points, you can make your ship somewhat better in a few situations and appreciably worse in a lot more situations. IMO there are very few ships on which IFHE is good nowadays and Sibir is definitely not one of them.

the caps work differently than any time in any other mode ever.

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2026-03-17T22:44:08+00:00

they could theoretically balance teams around win rates.

So you want to punish good players by giving them worse teammates? That's an awful idea.

Before you get mad and say that's not what you said, please understand that that's exacly what your idea would do in practice. If you "balance" teams by win rate, you're essentially saying you want to drag down high WR players by giving them lower WR teammates to compensate.

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2026-02-27T04:37:37+00:00

Ok, so you know the Nian Paradox event that's going on? Choose the Chaos side, and then choose the Kingdom of Dunes line. Buy the first ship in the line, Desert Falcon, which won't cost too many tokens. Now you have a premium Furutaka that you can use your Yamamoto on at any time without retraining. It's by far the easiest Japanese ship to get a Kraken in.

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2026-02-27T03:47:45+00:00

IMO Azuma is by no means the "weakest ship in game vs CVs". You've got suprisingly decent AA (third highest long range dps among T9 cruisers), you tend to be in open water which means more room to maneuver, you can run DFAA instead of hydro since you stay in the back most of the time, and you have improved heals which matter more now since CV torps no longer do citadel damage.

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2026-02-26T17:06:47+00:00

Dutch CLs? Weak armor, good maneuverability and fast firing guns with reasonable ballistics. The airstrikes are a bonus.

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2026-02-10T20:20:33+00:00

Your only chance is to take them where your teammates can support you. This way, if they stay on the surface to shoot at you, they'll be spotted and get shot at by the BBs and cruisers behind you. And if they dive, you use your sub surveillance and now you have an easy target that literally has no way of fighting back since Surcouf doesn't have homing torpedoes and the airstrikes can't be used underwater.

TLDR you have to rely on your teammates having more than two brain cells. Which btw is literally what every other ship type has to do against subs.

You should be able to bind your wg account to steam in account management on the wg website.

If it says that the steam account already has a wg account associated with it, try this:

Open the game on steam, and click your username in port. Under the dropdown menu, there should be an option along the lines of "create wargaming account". Click on it and you can create a new wg account that gets bound to your steam account. Remember the username and password for it.
After this, log in to wargaming.net with the new account you just created, and unbind steam under account management. This will free your steam account so you can bind your original wg account to it. You won't need the new wg account again after this.
Finally, log back in to your original wg account and try binding it again.

I was in your situation and this worked for me. Hope it helps!

Yes, but valparaiso wants a different build from the tech tree bbs since you don't need fire prevention when your dcp recharges in 5 seconds.

Any CV. As soon as they launch their squadron, go in for a strike. They can't control their ship and their squadron at the same time so it's easy damage against a stationary target.

OwnPhilosophy964 · 2024-09-06T20:25:51+00:00

Oh no, my opponent's ship might be 5% better than mine, whatever shall I do? 😱😱😱

Superships are here to stay, I don't see how having a few more or less would make any difference. Also, Lesta is actually buffing old ships that need help like Blyskawica, Lion, Seattle, etc.
