Who needs sAP when you got 152mm IFHE?

I am just referring to all those people who think that the Perth required a special sort of skill, because you had to keep moving constantly. Also IFHE and the combination of Smoke+Hydro+Plane makes it superior to the Leander. Only advantage of Leander is the better cooldown for the smoke generator.

A dumb guy who hides all game in a Kurfürst/Montana/Yamato is not better. But to me it is not a big deal. I will just have fun and don't care about my stats anyway.

Since many people are waiting for it: Are there plans to sell the Perth before Ranked starts?

In a Shimakaze that makes sense, but Z-52 has to push in further, to use its 5.8km hydro against other DDs (which is the main strength of this ship). My stats in Z-52 may not be unicum, but I feel that I do a lot for my team by pressing other DDs with that hydro.

Problem in high tiers is the excessive range of cruiser radar. I always try to push the caps in my Z-52, but it is really suicidal at the start of the match, because some cruisers always rush to radar the caps from safe distance... No wonder, many DDs rather stay away.

Since I am not an expert in strafing and often only wound them, the ammo alone is worth that 1 Point, actually.

But they can engage simultaneously, right? Because to me it seems that you can overwhelm them pretty quickly this way. And since it is only one point, I will take it.

Those ordered autodrops before your death are especially funny in randoms and they do work there (maybe because people don't expect it after your death). Why not enjoying to have the last laugh?! And of course in radoms you can also get into 2v1 situations in Kaga, where DogE is really nice.

Dogfighting Expert is a must on Kaga. And how is High Alert + Jack of all Trades less situational than Emergency Takeoff? To me those later skills are not important and a question of flavor anyway. I hate being raped on a loss, without the possibility to put out some hurt myself. ET will let you recover and launch planes while you are burning.

Last Ranked there was only ONE overpowered Premium and that is the Belfast. I don't think that the meta would have been any different with only Fiji though...

But is the Budyonny still be best at contesting a cap? I wonder if Leander/Perth bring the Smoke Meta once again... No radar, so people in smoke can use spotter planes and only hydro can spot them...

Pepperidge Farm and I remember, when it was the highest tier pre-order bundle, and we hoped it would stay rare after release...

So only people without jobs, who have the whole tech tree unlocked, should be allowed to be competitive?

Sell the Perth already. No1 needs Sims this Ranked.

Perth should be well worth it, because it has smoke AND spotter plane AND hydro...

Would love to see that crazy chicken run, once the torpedoes come in.

Maybe you should read before you answer. I said do not invest into AA for protection from CV Snipes (because your fighters have to do it anyway). And I only take ET for the end of losing games, where people rape you. So you can at least put out some hurt while being raped. And ET does allow launching and recovering aircraft while on fire.

Oh yeah smart guy? Which remaining skill gives you more damage? When you lose, you get focused in the end. ET will get you another strike. You think AFT on Kaga can prevent a CV Snipe?

Kaga servicing times do not need a 15% buff that badly... I rather survive the next snipe attempt...

Whenever I get rushed at the end, emergency takeoff will give me an additional kill.

Did anyone even calculate, how many battles one needed to reach Bismarck in a Tier 4 ? This whining seems pretty silly, especially since T8 can be bought anyway.

I thought Hunt for Bismarck was only easy if you already had high tier ships to do it. And how is the Tirpitz in store any different.

Since Ranked is likely to be Tier6 next, will there be an HMAS Perth Sale before?

Moving smokes could also make Ranked more dynamic and interesting, than stationary smokes.
