a bb5 that can see his shells bounced at max angle by a KGV it's fine?
clearly not.
people is expecting range because KM is the range nation and all other tiers have almost next tier range. h44 range can then be consired an issue.
for example a h44 vs a 2 turrets speed L2 doesen't stand a single chance, assuming equal skill of the player this L2 can semi-sling with the only front guns that are off the centre like the h44 front, at a far higher speed, and still hitting harder. the 1.5 dot diadvantage is negated by the slim profile. this battle will results in L2 pushing h44 to the border and win if they are both well skilled, if not the L2 will just rush and win.
not to take in consideration that h44 has the worst spread...
A skilled h44 player wins because there's lots of noobs in bb5 in GB. But put an equal skilled player on an another BB5, you will se the result. at the moment h44 have a lot more disadvantages than advantages.
I also wrote about experience gain and credits. why a bb5 should have far less than other bb5?
No, this ship is not fine as it is.
1st - H44 salvo damage is around 37k. Reliable also, as far as the 16,5 go, and those are the guns I use.
2nd - L2, 2 gun SW goes 40 knot. I suggest you look up "far higher" in a dictionnary ASAP
3rd - the H44 spread is perhaps the best out of the box of at all the BB5, safe the soyuz. It stays very tight, and its incredibly easy to full salvo a ship if you are slightly good at aiming. At any rate "worse" spread is far from applying here. I suggest you try an alsace or an L2 at level 105 or so.
4th - the experience is actually very fine. I tended to have more xp/ attack point with my H44 than I did with monty.
5th - a skilled H44 players can win against any other BB5, especially SY, Soyuz and monties. A good alsace can be a bit bothersome, but again is dealt with easily enough. L2 is a bit harder, its a very good BB5, but in no way it can hold a line better than you.
The sole problems that remain to be fixed are the shell inconsitency that does happens sometimes (altough not enough to ruin all your games) and the fact that YES AP doesnt work very well, and AW L2 can be long to kill. Main issue isn't killing one, but if you encounter more than 1 in your game, chance are you'll run out of AP with one bind.
Thats what richard is working on, nothing else.
