Coming from an SN player? ._. both nations need to be balanced -_-

How's being bad?

they also seem to be killing a lot of crew, well that's my experience of them. IMO france has some balance issues 2 years after they were released so dont expect anything soon.

Meh jus keep spamming dbs on the italian bbs, they hate it :)

They need to fix the gun mechanics.

At the moment, damage consistancy is linked to armour penetration (in a positive way).

Armour penetration for HE and AP shells are related; So if you have weak HE penetrating shells, AP shells can get bounced at low angles; leading to the big issues with 25 degree guns; naturally low angled guns are meant to have low armour penetration, but SDE gave massive buff's in other areas (i think it was muzzle velocity) so that the AP would work. Unfortunately, it means the 25 degree guns don't get a slight damage penalty for hitting belt, and it means that they smash through armour when hitting deck anyway.

Low angled guns having range jumps also, which needs fixing.

Probably a few other issues, Richard is the man who knows NF guns at the moment. 

well 25 degree bb4 guns penetrate armour at 21 to 25 deg at a reduced damage 20 to 18 just bounces off and under this seems to rip right through and no idear why you have bad spread i certainlly dont

It's funny to see these supa' small shells coming at light speeds and the splash is like -phew- but it hits you and the damage is like -BOOM MUTHA****- then you go all D:> "DA **** is this ****?!" and dem italian ships just go "trolololololol I kill yo entire team with my OP BB4!". 

SDE FAILS AGAIN....
THANK YOU SDE FOR MORE JUNK  in GAME !!!
