RUSSIANBlAS

Brawling with the risk of that IJN super torp boat getting you although we may find exactly how nerfed DDs are finally as RDF and all the other anti stealth mechanics reach critical mass. Epicentre looks good on paper but Random Battle Epicentre ends up with people dying way before any significant caps so turns out like a Standard Battle.

The T7 German BB sisters have surprisingly soft noses, which is why you should never bow tank in them and try to show some side instead.

Can you even spare the points for another 3rd level skill? I always take SI first as the majority of damage I take in games are from surface damage which I can repair a lot of...

As others have said, free XP away from her. If you have a lot of New Years Camo with 200% Free XP and Papa Papa flags then use them. It won't take too long to skip past her considering I grinded out a Missouri in about 2 months. Can be played a bit like a bow tanking NC/Iowa but far slower and it doesn't have the LOL AA rating. Also the engine "upgrade" is downright offensive on WG's part. Don't bother buffing her secondaries, their coverage is stupid much like Dunkerque's I'm a big BB fan and even love ships such as the Colorado,, Bayern, Monty and Gnesi but I found nothing redeeming about 'Zumo.

I swear by 420mm, bigger guns on a BB? Yes please... The testing of 406mm vs 420mm appears to suggest that both are similar enough for it to come down to a matter of taste. 4% extra DPM is irrelevant as RNG will mean your damage will vary by far more than that. I'm pretty sure with AR the 406mm buff up to fire as fast as Scharnhorst guns which is somewhat impressive. However so are the 420mm which can dip to faster reloads than the Tirpitz/Bismarck... I get more massive citadels with 420mm, I used 406mm for a lot of matches as I grinded from Hull A to Elite. The smaller guns do seem to lack something when faced off vs T9s and T10s. However if you want to say confirmation bias and that I'm compensating for something else then I won't disagree

OP will get a T8 then re-post with "8 tier vs 10 tier Total nonsense"

Depending on the ship I sometimes use the DB together as I'll lose less planes... Or is that noob? Also is it weird if I get offended if folk try and snipe me? I was vs a decent Lex (I always stats check other CVs) in my Shokaku and the guy spent most of the game trying to snipe me and every time I was clued up enough to have my fighters back in time. He sniped himself out the game and we won well. I think only potatoes get sniped

I think the lower amount of players in Ranked means Hiryu's birds will last longer as there's less to shoot them down... Sometimes a bit of an issue in Randoms if not managed correctly.

Don't own Belfast. Maybe the pair of German BB. I want to take Nagato but her AA and armour are bad. Might free xp the IJN torp spammer. I think the meta means Myoko may not be viable this time.

I did get some Ocean Soul camos in an SC. It wasn't many, maybe about 50.

I've had two SC since Xmas, both have been rubbish inside so you haven't missed anything. The signal box with Free EXP is the most reliable reward.

Better than the joke that is this week's, 25k base exp for 5 flags...

Farmed by IJN Ichi thing made me laugh, you were too close in the Nikolai, she's a mid ranged power house not a brawler.

I've had it a few days now but I haven't taken it out. I really should finish training my IJN DD captain...

( a bit off topic ) I grinded up from NC to Iowa then Monty over many months, no hurry at all and didn't use any free XP other than Iowa Hulls. The T9 and T10 USN BB have pretty impressive guns, they're not Yam guns but do their job. Got a 200k Monty game the other day. No surprises with these ships, don't get them if you don't want them.

Just got an SC today 20 million credits... FFFUUUUU had 105 million already, obviously my need was great.

5 flags that a few potato teams will render ineffective too...

This is a bad thing because? I grinded out Missouri in a matter of a month or so and was helped along by the 500 xp in reward containers.

Kirov maybe better now with Priority Targeting as you know how many want to blow you up now. The size of the ship offends me, it looks nearly Kongo size which is utterly huge...

I even use Prem Float Spotter even tho it's been about 3 months since I've launched one. Too many credits...

I've had Udaloi games where I haven't smoked. Sometimes it's better to skate at long range in full view trolling the enemy then ceasing fire when you want to cloak again.

Na, that's just top tier gameplay. Some call it tactical and enjoy it. Play T7 or lower for action packed gaming.

Shokaku fully upgraded is a beast when top tier. I had the pleasure last night. Poor T6 BB and Cruisers with no Defensive AA, almost a Seal Club of the opposing CV is bad.

That's what annoys me about her. Won't be an amazing IJN captain trainer or even an average one. USN BB and German ones have it far better in that respect.

That does make no sense! I finished my grind to the Monty before getting the Missouri so that I was done with the USN BB tech tree...
