Premiums ships I want to see in game. Anything new with history >>>>>>> another Fletcher >>>>>>>>>>>> another tier 3 Russian cruiser >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Recycled fake tier 10 BB that isn't even remotely realistic.

Watching GF delete entire teams or DDs trying to compete agasint LoLYang was hilarious. 10/10 would play tier 8 ranked again.

Spee is a real powerhouse but the low DPM and average speed kinda balances it out. She makes tier 6 a much better place, great example of a good premium. No idea why tier 6-8 RN cruisers got a heal, makes em a bit OP.

Yep, Fushun is another stealthy gunboat with great torps and smoke. No idea why it doesn't have Anshan surface detection etc, it might even be better than Hsienyang... I've messed around with GM quite a bit and you can certainly yolo large groups just to kill off one DD and survive, this includes most tier 8 DDs. (assuming a stealth radar CL like Belfast doesn't show up) A 'bow on' GM spamming 6 guns is very hard to hit. Esp when they mess around speed, rock forwards/backwards, reverse wiggle etc. The only problem comes from feeling unbeatable and you stick around to take on 5+ ships on your own when you should really just run. GM is way more powerful than OG Kiev imo.

Has better stats in GM than all his other DDs, inc the T10s. "A decent 4th with lots of downsides" Sure.

8 fast reloading, 65 knot torpedoes with a 2.5 stealth buffer is super fun. (Unless Belfast has spawned on your flank)

You get 100 gold if your team have 6+ ships in A10 and loose on points after 10 minutes. Everyone knows that!

4 real. My mates cousin nextdoor neighbor knows someone who got 17 premium ships in containers yesterday, inc Cossack and Stalingrad! Some r just lucky.

Huh? Torp reload is fastest at tier 10 for quintuple tubes (less than Gearing/Shima/YY) and they've got the best reaction times outside YY (7.7s) Groz is fine when there's only 1 or 2 ships shooting you in ranked (very different to the 6+ shooting you in randoms because there's nothing else to shoot within 20km) Try it out for yourself, it's great.

Grozovoi can wiz round a flank and spam camping radar cruisers with laser guns and great torpedoes. Then it can contest caps and beat up cumbersome tier 10 BBs with torps like a normal DD once all radar ships have been sunk. It's a great hybrid for the meta. Better than Gearing/Shima imo. Khaba is a space rocket cruiser with stuff like armour. Groz is a more realistic destroyer design, a bit more range won't make it oppressive agasint random battle seals.

It's actually really good for flanking around caps camped by DM/Mino. Underrated. I'd only buff it with a bit more range so the guns can go past 14km with AFT. Not many will want to grind another paper RU destroyer, so it's never going to be popular.

2x3 533mm Si 270 is still good for tier 7. They're very similar to the Mk X on Blys and Soldati will have a ~6km surface detection. Top kek torp spam with a 70s reload and a 8-12km setting. WG will probably give Maestrale II/Soldati II to Capitani Romani (tier 8-10) 2x4 and prototype/post WW2 torps.

Soldati is a more advanced Gnevny, it's tier 6 (or even tier 7 with the 5th gun upgrade at a push) Guns and torpedoes are already in the game so we know exactly what to expect. 120mm cannons have really v.high mv but really, really terrible air drag (these aren't RU sniper DDs, think a reverse Agile) and hopefully the long range troll torps from Aosta. They're going to be ****ing fantastic. How about a 1942 Ascari premium? NSFW

Isn't Boise just a test ship for Nueve de Julio?

Depends on tier and ship your shooting at. I've got a secondary build Monarch that sinks destroyers much faster than Bismarck and Richelieu (100mm guns can't damage anything without IFHE from tier 8) If only it had a usable range... Mind you all secondary builds are a bit crap. All BBs should have the same secondary range per tier, not just the select few (7.5km at tier 8 etc) or they should reduce the skill point requirement for ships like Bismarck (manual secondaries should be 2 points etc)

Hell yes. Lot's of awesome and unique ships. My most wanted would be Romanian destroyer Regele Ferdinand. Jianwei with Błyskawica guns and Duca d'Aosta torpedoes. Yehahaha!

Your battleship has 700mm+ penetration at those ranges and neither ship can auto bounce off the bow/stern. Armour is irrelevant. Baltimore just has a lower probability of shells dispersing into the smaller citadel when BBs press the RNG button. Ibuki actually has decent armour/citadel layout for a cruiser. Baltimore got 27mm to auto bounce 15" AP for balance (no torpedoes, high shell arcs etc) As for Ibuki... Just give her a reload buff to compete with the fantasy ships, like they did with Hipper. Or how about type 93 mod 3 Yūgumo torpedoes?

Edin can stealth torp, bounce 8" AP, radar and has a super heal. Its a very different beast to Fiji.

fixed (p2w version) I use steering gears mod 1 for Edinburgh and Leander. Both are tanky ships and loosing the ability to dodge/angle/double torp is huge. Normal hydro is enough if your only use it for smoke camping.

It means Stalingrad doesn't really care about ships angling agasint it, at any range.

Stalingrad AP has US CA auto bounce rules with 480mm pen at 15km, good luck with that.

Conqs heal is crap, the normal RN BB heal is better after the huge reload nerf (you have to play sooooooo passively) Republic has speed boost to mitigate damage.

Roma guns have crazy low min H/V dispersion. This makes them feel trollish but they're much more consistent than you think, esp compared to ships like Monarch and Bismarck. They're balanced for 10km ranges agasint thick plating.

Quads with a 60s reload would be enough.

Had several of those* CV games in a row and couldn't take another. Damn you can't do much team damage these days, 8 torps did nothing to our Lexi. Why not turn off friendly fire completely and bring back Kitkat!??! *Utter potato vs seal clubber that goes after players with high win rates first, brags in chat etc
