Better dispersion - seems like, Smolensk already has DD dispersion (is it supposed to have it?). Smolensk differs in that she has access to high-explosive ammunition, truly giving her a reputation as a firestarter. This goes to (130/6)*1.3 = 28.1666 => 28mm pen with IFHE. This review is 3 days after the last time dirty Supertesters like myself  or Contributors had the chance to play the ship

This is typical "WG ninjanerf ships after all CCs reviews have come out to just Fu**k with their constumers" tactics. It still has 16 Stalin approved 130mm guns that fire petrol soaked rounds for extra fire chance and has smoke. Feels like, both are kinda useless, so i still might take the Dispersion mod. Thought I try it out, otherwise Groz captain for sure. This is typical "WG ninjanerf ships after all CCs reviews have come out to just Fu**k with their constumers" tactics. This in essence gives you the ability to go past the 27mm threshold.

Will say i liked her and will be getting her as soon as i get home from work This is typical "WG ninjanerf ships after all CCs reviews have come out to just Fu**k with their constumers" tactics. I was thinking about LS aswell. Well, some quick maths - 130/6 = 21.6666 ~ 22 => 21mm pen w/o IFHE Added to that, you dont have a CV in every battle anymore. - 3rd slot? Seems like many of the high damage CC games had IFHE but it might be a waste. Im not sure about this, just saw a lot of high damage CC videos where they used IFHE. It will let you pen some heavy cruisers, but that's about it. Cant say or remember if there were some changes after the last time we tested her.

I will definatly go for full range build (19.2km) because the Ships armour is made out of tissue paper so every km I can get away from T10 BB guns will be worth it. 19km is too much for those shells.

Since you requested it.

- SI+DE - IFHE+CE Feels like, both are kinda useless, so i still might take the Dispersion mod. So no one knows of an up-to-date smolensk review? I think he meant the relevant part... that is the actual ship statistics. Captain will be from Chapa (usual RuCL built) or the one from Tash/Ochotnik (not so typical as I have CE there), may respec as it is free now.

I think I will just be using my Grozovoi captain on it.. I think Notsers from 2 month ago is the most relevant.

Added to that, you dont have a CV in every battle anymore. Which kinda negates the need to take Rudder/Engine mod in slot 2.

But with AFT and module you can get this up to 19.2km (which I will be rockin) Assuming Range mod wasn't removed somewhere during balans process. So essentially 10 minutes of whining, that in order to have 20km range, you need to pick 4point skill. 19km is too much for those shells. Plenty of them on NA today, looked like you needed to be pretty highly skilled to make it work though. But with AFT and module you can get this up to 19.2km (which I will be rockin) From the NA forum where they have it now.

It will let you pen some heavy cruisers, but that's about it. So no one knows of an up-to-date smolensk review? Having only 15-16 km range puts you in such a harms way it will be hard to disengage in time to survive I think.

Was about to say the same thing.

From the NA forum where they have it now.

Looks interesting, now I need to battle with the itching to burn steel to get her.

I think Notsers from 2 month ago is the most relevant.

Is it worth the 4 points and fire chance reduction?

[SCRUB] Will be doing Community Battles tomorrow on …

Cleveland in comparison would have over 18s Jump to: To log in, select the region where your account is registeredNo boost to continuous damage in a reinforced sector.The enemy is alerted that a bearing has been taken. Better dispersion - seems like, Smolensk already has DD dispersion (is it supposed to have it?). Max 18km for me is enough.

You need to play a total of 50 battles to post in this section.

Was about to say the same thing. Well guess what, you dont have to pick it. Ill use my Kutu Captain (atleast for now) with PT - AR (LS?) It is funny how people rage about powercreep, but when new ships isnt super OP, it isnt worth in their opinion. That one shows the nerfed ship with 13,5km firerange.

Still able to sit in smoke and spam HE all over the place but if it gets close it is extremely squishy.

Thats interesting actually, i was considering giving up ce for demo expert for the meme firestarting potential

- Last Stand: Flamu said, Smolensk loses rudder and engine to HE all the time. Im not sure about this, just saw a lot of high damage CC videos where they used IFHE.

Thought I try it out, otherwise Groz captain for sure. Gameplay wise I'll try something like Flint probably for a start, just a bit farer away, then I will see what works best for me. Was about to say the same thing. Not sure about range mod vs rof mod, i feel like i could work with 16.32km range since it has smoke, and the arcs should be pretty horrible at 19km right?

I think Notsers from 2 month ago is the most relevant. 19.2km confirmef! I'm seeing some 200k dmg games that make 500k profit, which seems low What is the credit making potential compared to the other coal ships around that price?

I was thinking about LS aswell. Well it is WG we are talking about so I wouldnt be surprised if its a 2 turrets DD we will see come tomorrow......
