      Yeah at the beginning of the Pacific war, there were a few Blue on Blue incidents on both sides. Savo Island was where the Allies decided to shoot themselves up. Then throughout the war you had target locked AA gunners following their targets with such tunnel vision that they'd shoot up other nearby Allied ships as the Japanese planes flew low between ships. You also had Allied AA gunners shooting at their own planes when they'd try to make attempts to land on carriers. And finally... you had the incident where a poor Japanese pilot got confused and tried to land on a USN carrier and paid the price.

    A quick one Jingles. The Battle of Sunda Strait was fought by HMAS Perth and USS Houston. HNLMS Evertsen was a couple of hours behind due to being delayed. She saw the battle unfolding and tried to evade before running into a couple of Japanese destroyers who were searching for any retreating allied ships and she eventually ran aground with her stern on fire, which in turn caused a magazine to blow. The crews of HMAS Perth and HMAS Houston were plucked from the sea and taken into captivity while the crew from HNLMS Evertsen were captured ashore, the crew having abandoned the ship before she blew.

      Jean Bart's HE is quite good, not that difficult to get 8-10k HE volley, possibly a fire. also the reload of the ship makes it nice to switch. Also I have found that due to its speed its not bad at dodging DD's torps as battleships go as it is fairly fast, combined with ruder changing course about every 8-15 seconds, not hard to dodge torps.

    Jean Bart and Richelieu don't actually have terrible secondaries, you know. They basically have a light cruiser bolted to their rear in the form of 3 triple 6" turrets, and the small guns will still make short work of lightly-armored targets like destroyers. Range, accuracy, and rate of fire are pretty solid too. They're best viewed as a deterrent against DDs and CLs rather than a BB brawling tool like German secondaries are.

      The small guns will make short work of almost nothing.
      They're 100 mm, so without IFHE they will only pen 16 mm, which is the plating of T7 destroyers. Higher tier DDs, as well as ships of any other class, are immune to them, save for the fires.

    For Hitoshi Imamura, the guy who had to abandon his transport after it got torpedoed by IJN long lance... those torpedoes were not from his own ships.
    Hitoshi Imamura was an IJA officer after all, and that transport convoy he was in was an IJA convoy, ie: Imperial Army convoy... not the IJN, ie: the Imperial Navy's.
    As far as both Imperial Army and Imperial Navy are concerned... both of them ARE enemies of one another who just happened to be under the same emperor.
    The Imperial Navy officers... aren't going to shed a tear if some of their long lance happens to 'ACCIDENTALLY' hit some of the Imperial's Army's assets including their transport ships...
    As far as they are concerned, it's the Imperial Army's fault to be where their long lance were heading.

    A difference between Richilieu and Jean Bart is that the Richilieu has much better firing angles on the rear 152mm secondary gunturrets. On Richilieu they can fire past the superstructure at an angle, firing at targets infront of you with a bit of angling. On Jean Bart these turrets go only a little bit past sideways, so they tend to open up only when something is on your rear quarter.
    Oh, and it's 12x100mm, not 90. So you can either roll for a 5% chance of fire 12 times every 2 seconds, or you can IFHE it and roll for 2.5% fire chance and 2520 damage per minute against DDs and superstructure. (152mm shells not counted)
    The selling point of the secondaries: When kitted for it.. they just don't stop firing. It's awesome. Too bad IFHE now significantly nerfs main battery fire chance too. :/

    A little tip. Whenever wg wants to remove a premium ship that you see quite often in game. Grab it. If WG wants to remove a premium ship that you don't see very often. Don't worry about it. JB has be a load of fun for me since i grabbed it 2 days before wg removes it. The thunderer is doing pretty good too.

    I love JB, it is a great combination of speed, armor, decent firepower and powerful AA. The secondaries are OK, once you turn your ass on somebody, angle it and let your secondaries do the work, they often stand no chance. You can focus on someone else with your main battery. I really dont regret choosing this over Musashi, lol :D

      Armor? o_O
      I mean, yes, she has a turtleback, but she's also covered in 32mm plating: she's easily melted by HE spammers. Also, her hitpoints are low.
      She doesn't have to show broadside to use all of her guns, which is a sort of tactical armor, but she's one of the most fragile battleships at her tier.

    Without the reload boost and the non-standard placement of the JB’s gun turrets, double tab would have been sunk at the end.
    Also, the Yugomo player forfeited his biggest advantages in favor of a last-second open water YOLO against a JB that had guessed his relative position because of all the errant torpedo salvos.
    That last engagement was lost by the destroyer driver more than it was won by double tab.
