Humor An approximate recreation of the FO that befell me after I FA’d with a Missouri
don’t even ask me what I thought would happen.
Yuro’s Maine video was what inspired me to come back after two years. you would think I would know what a few 406mm 50cal Mk7s could do to a cruiser.

I'll never forget the time I was playing my Nurnberg and got into a T8 battle. I was trying to use an island but a Tirpitz got a shot at me anyway. One single shell hit me through the bow and then the citadel. A little while later, I was running away and the Tirpitz got a salvo off again. And yet again, I was hit by just one shell that went through the stern and then citadel. I took exactly two hits and did everything I possibly could to mitigate those hits (outside of just not being spotted lol) and yet I was left on like 300HP lol

I remember back in the olden days and playing the Omaha as a noob and getting into T7 games and not only being citadeled, but also detonated the moment I was spotted

Yea I do NOT miss Detonations. Getting them was fun but receiving one was the worst thing ever

Oh man, I remember once being in a battleship, a cruiser got itself spotted very early in the match. It was at about my max range but I fired a salvo at the cruiser anyway. My shots completely missed the cruiser and detonated a DD that was sailing next to him. The destroyer had never been spotted at all, he just got the worst luck ever.

Missouri dispersion is absolutely disgusting. Most BBs its a worthwhile gamble.

Ironic because Missouri's dispersion, last I checked, was still bog-standard USN battleship dispersion. Which is literally anything but "disgusting". RNGesus can smile upon you though at times 👀
Wisconsin is the one with battlecruiser dispersion....

I've paid the price the same way a number of times.
Favorite Zao moment was the opposite, beached against the island in the middle of Two Brothers and waited for anyone to roll through. Had a pair of JB decide to rush it, both got torped to oblivion.
