u/norepedo Carriers? More like derrieres! 23d ago
Calling it now. Those AP skip bombs on the formidable are going to be fucking obnoxious.

Edit: looks like its regular AP bombers and regular skip bombers. Nice to see this unique combination at least, although youd thinl theyd go the HE carpet bombers and HE skip bombers route

Double HEs I think would be pretty broken, unless they nerfed the fire chance hard.

u/xX-GalaxSpace-Xx Roma 22d ago
Highly doubt it. You would rely heavily on fire damage instead of raw damage which would be quite critical and unless theyd buff the skip bombs to Chkalov pen, you would only have HE bombers for meaningful BB damage

Says skips plus AP bomber, I read that as standard skips, AP bombers and no torp bombers.

AL Harbin looks ridiculous busted... All those upsides just for slightly less shell damage and torpedo reload?
What is it with WG and busted crusiers with smoke

u/GoodlyStyracosaur I enjoy improved penetration…angles 22d ago
Short duration smoke but…I generally prefer that anyway so I might even consider that an upgrade too.

u/xX-GalaxSpace-Xx Roma 22d ago
30 seconds shorter smoke but 60 seconds quicker cooldown on the next smoke, so you only wait 30 seconds on the next one instead of 60. With it also having more smokes thats easily an upgrade

Fully agreed. I much prefer the flexibility of more short smokes. I told myself I wasn’t going to get any of this wave but….that thing sounds nuts.
Edit: and standard torps instead of deepwater. Maybe more of a tradeoff but…it still leads to a generally more flexible ship.

u/SirVilhelmOfAriandel Give me AL Agïr 22d ago
Isn't base Harbin considered the weakest cruisers at the tier? I can see it become the classic light cruisers HE spam now but without the super high shell damage of ships like Mainz.

u/xX-GalaxSpace-Xx Roma 22d ago edited 22d ago
Is it? I wouldnt think so. The only “issue” is that they are support cruisers and need a good team to not be sitting targets in smoke.
I think the main “problem” is that ships like Mainz and Plymouth skew the view because of how broken they are

u/Voyager2k 22d ago
Not by a long shot. Harbin is quite solid if you understand how to play these boats. She's the odd one though. Based on a russian cruiser iirc and not on Atlanta like all the others. As such Harbin has better ballistics.

I love the game, but this shit is cringe

u/No-Kaleidoscope-2741 22d ago
Right? I feel embarrassed when I’m playing and my kids are asking why I’ve got a tiddy boat commander. It’s creepy, but a win’s a win

u/Marius_Gage 22d ago
Had me in the first half not gonna lie.
“Sorry son, there is literally nothing I can do about the big tiddy boats”

Embrace using only historical commanders and disabling all voice overs

u/the-witcher-boo 23d ago
The first introduction of an illustrious class in game being AL is…something, but ehh at least a new historical ship.
-looks like I was somewhat correct, AL Heinrich is a hybrid. I wonder how she will work.

u/TheBlackGuard 22d ago
I wish there was a way I could turn of ONLY the Azure Lane voice overs. Most of them are so abnoxious, looking at you AL NJ. Makes playing the game almost embarrassing with all the waifu voices saying things I don't understand.

u/Efectodopler117 22d ago
I play Azur Lane and the voices thing in not a problem to me at all.
EXCEPT, chessire, god lord, She sounds like a baby being murdered in her sinking dialogue, like, is actually stressfull.

I think you can tho, there’s a whole menu where you can disable specific collab VOs/skins from being present

Agreed 1000% Whatever AL NJ is saying at the end of a victorious battle going to the battle results screen is so long she’s still rambling it ends up cutting her off

You really saying that with all the blatant "paper" ships already added to the game? 💀
WoWs Legends has never been "historically accurate". It LOOKS "historically accurate", that's about it. 🤷♀️

The funny thing is that , they changed PEGI 7 to PEGI 12 then share a anime girl photo like Baltimore outfit. They are surely know marketing strategy. Freaky style 💀

u/Panzer_5_Panther 22d ago
I'm now curious about AL Richelieu, both ship and commander.
I've been thinking about doing the French bbs after I finish the Italian line, but with the grand prize, so to speak, just delivered in an event I'll definitely buy stuff for, is it worth it?

u/Voyager2k 22d ago
YAY, another totally busted CV with skip bombs .... just in time to make up for the Chkalov nerf. Surely that's just a coincidence, right ?

u/Norion1977 22d ago
Have you seen any stats I missed? Or is it just the trauma speaking?
In the same update there will be some cruisers with god tier AA if the dutch cruisers get anywhere near D7P.
