In my case more dakka. Can't go wrong with more dakka after all.

To elaborate on my answer. I have had my doubts about whether or not this ship was worth it ever since seeing her specs. And nothing I have seen since she was allowed to be played on stream has anything to change those doubts, it has only proven them to be all too true. There is literally no point in investing the time and money required to get the Marlborough if you have a Thunderer. Hell, there's not much point even if all you have is a VANGUARD either.

Here's my answer.

From what I have seen the answer to the first half is a no, which makes the second half, sadly, a yes.

Vampire 2, hands down at that.

I'd have to say, out of those three, and given that you like the Napoli, I'd give the nod to the Yoshino.

Isn't this just wows in a nutshell sometimes, these games are the first game of the day and the last two.

You're simply mistaken, there never were mega containers for tier 10 ships in New Years

One important difference though, Albemarle has 50mm of much needed armor over those citadel bits, giving her a 152mm belt as compared with Neptune's 102mm.

Either Gremy, or Arkansas Beta.

Wishful thinking, both. Maybe Belfast 43 B, but not the tier 7.

Sad thing is, it wouldn't even take that much to turn her into a decent ship, either shaving the reload down to a even 30, and/or (preferably and) give her a bit more range and she'd be there..

Only if I buy any.

Short answer: No. Also, Alaska is a lot of things but "trash" is not one of them.

Why do you think I don't have a one

It is indeed, and also just not a very good ship over all.

Oh sh*t, is that ADMIRAL YI?!

Better torps too.

A excellent case in point are the RN's R to Z and C class destroyers (aka the "war emergency" destroyers) which were basically repeat J/K/N class but with different armament (4x1 120mm at first, then later 4x1 113mm) and other detail improvements later on.

Would like to point out that they are upping Delny's range to 13,1 as seen here

Honestly even less of CL's than the Elbing was. Elbing was at least planned to have SOME armor protection, the Romanis literally had none.

My guess it's a speculative design from the fertile minds over at Vickers-Armstrong.

She certainly bears watching. As do the DD's as well, they have..potential.

Obligatory reminder that these stats are not final. Here's a scary thought, what if the 9.2in guns have the same built in ifhe as the Goliath/Drake/Chessie

Hallelujah. Also for those wondering yes that is a Capitani Romani as the tier 10.
