You should test properly SN before saying that to me. As far as I remember, you neglect crapload of details. You screwed the SNbb4. You even told me in Xfire that you were an inexperienced at balancing. ------ If you were so much more experienced, go ahead and post this on the test server discussion forums. Go ahead and recommend a range nerf. I'm not here to stop you.
------ Facts are facts, whether it hurts or not. Don't say something stupid, and I won't bite. It doesn't matter if someone is friendly or not, I will prove my point. ------ Don't worry about it, it's not offending me.
------ 1- . But hey, didn't you see the video where it is possible for Stalingrad to completely outrange H39 without having one shells hitting back? If lucky, I will have 2-3 shells hitting you while toss me 9 shells.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqyeQqfeX0Q&feature=channel_video_title ------ You have again not taken into consideration of the 1 kn speed, 2 turning force and hang time issues. Once those are taken into account, the range is more or less the same when swinging. Since when did 2 ships sailed always parallel to each other without a change in range at all in a line fight?
------ a)-If you call it non existant, then you are clearly saying to me that SY=L2=H44 range. ------ SY and L2 range is not noticeable. L2 H44 difference is also extremely small that only a tiny fraction of H44 players know how to use it. The range difference between SY and H44 are noticeable, but still small enough that a SY can push a H44 in a line battle.
------ b) 5 shots from H39 out of 40 shells fired, only 13 hit it. That's 27 shells missed. While Stalin fired 45 shells, all of them hit even if I didn't kill it. If the range was non existant, do you think H39 will have 27 of its shell missing? ------ Not sure what you're trying to say here, care to reword it?
------ But yea, ask any user to put BC/CA FCS, to make spread worse in order to increase my range, and that willl be only 1-2 shells hitting it. ------ Seems like any ship can do that to me; if I put a SS1 FCS on the Charlemagne, it could probably have the same range as the Kaiser. Again, like I've said before, in a line battle where both players are competent, the range difference should not make a difference.
------ 2-Tell that to UK user having those 12'' shell able to pierce L1,L2 armour while Iowa can't. That just screw up the whole armour penetration. ------ Are you saying the L1 would be defeated by a Stalingrad with 12"s in a 1v1? or that the Iowa needs a buff so it can penetrate an AW L1? As far as I'm concerned, a L1 will 2 shot a Stalingrad when the AW L1 rushes, while the Stalingrad's hangtime, speed, turning force and spread when running will not be able to do enough damage to sink the L1.
Reducing the shell weight is not an option, screwing up the range of 3 sets of guns to reduce armor penetration does more harm than good; and so what if SN can penetrate armor? there is only 1 nation right now that is good at "penetrating armor" with HE, and that's IJN's paperships. Long hangtime=good armor penetration, unless you're willing to buffed the maximum angle of the 12" guns to 40, making it even more competitive to the H39 in a line battle.
------ Tell that to Richelieu,Iowa,Yammy,Vanguard,L1, none of them could stop it in a BB room, where range is the key. H39 stopping a stalingrad? Good luck. Because if I were to get in range, I am you sure you will shoot me by the time I even start to push you or slinging you. ------ L1, Richy, and the H39 are the counters to the Stalingrad with 12"s once the Richy is properly balanced. As far as I'm concerned, the Stalingrad can be adjusted, but it's current state is not as overpowered as you say it is.
