Thing is when Katori does not get uptiered her guns are so great that you can get good battles, the other ships do not know what they face, fire chance is good and you hit where you aim. She can not flee and is easily deleted if close but it is not that easy for a (newbie/babyseal) to fight because you can kite and a South Carolina, Chester , st Louis is good XP -pinatas. Your lazerguns is good against DDs too. But that is of course only valid for the experienced, AFT is no use for the guns btw. as they are 140 mm.

Its the same in them in case you got them left

LittleWhiteMouse Excellent review deserves a link. Read and laugh https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/104531-premium-ship-review-katori/

Sure but you have the missions , events and challenges in game all the time where they stated how long they will have it

Choose duplicates smartly for the prem camos if u still can

Lifeboats was use more for transport. In battle many were often landed beforehand - fire hazard, splinters etc and if a ship would go down escorting DDs would take care of the crew, if the ship would have been a wreck like f.e. Bismarck all would have been destroyed anyway.

Look at my post Non-believer

Bought it just in case this OP Ship is removed prematurely. Now I stack my 19 p Chikuma captain in it and sink some ships! I must say that ASM0 mod is great Lazer guns! Not trolling If you have Yubari you know what it is - the best low tier guns there is. Sadly there are so few. 1 st game 1500 Base XP 4 ships - Grab it before it is too late fellow Players!!

Thanks for info Missing her in my collection - During the GNB I took the Albany instead and did not have time to grind both in that campaign. Will buy just to have her. OP? Yes of course - if she is as accurate as the Yubari one tier lower with that accuracy mod one can always troll seals

I bought the expensive bundle too, helped with the Biz mission etc, I must admit I have hardly played her since that mission ended but it has been full of activities, Dunk campaingn, yamamoto mission etc many of which excludes her, summer sales brought in several ships with XP boosters and new job makes things harder for Hood to be played do not regret buying her. Certainly there will be offers on her later. But then with no other RN BB in sight it was good and another 12 p captain was good to have for the RN line. When RN line arrived I had 4 10-12 p captains in store or at Warspite, Belfast and Hood. Now with Nelson also the 4 midtier trainers are nice to have for the captaingrinding.

Cheaters... Using high tier ships....

But then it is not a flooding chance but some other value 100% Flooding = always flood now you have ships with triple times that, the value might be coded as flooding chance but then it has no meaning apart from comparing IMO, or at least a misleading figure

I appreciate the effort but flooding chance % can not be over 100. It may be that type 92 is 24,0 % chance I do not know. Can the CVs torps be that bad? or is it in their case 63 and 71 %? I advice you to check on this, otherwise very interesting

Any of the ships included in pack as you see fit Yes I am pretty sure you can use same ship, Bought the Soviet pack last week and it does not show any limitations, in fact I choose only to play the Kutuzov as I want max effect the others I ignore until the 50th win is done.

I use the hydro mod on my high tier German DDs, valuable I think. This means you have enough time to use it during the approach to the cap also, which can be useful against a Shimas 15 torps f.e. German DDs are quite clumsy so I like the long time hydro mod.

Very true when you want BBQ in a spamming cruiser Biz, FdG and GK are your favourite targets.

Further always use premium repair and DCp some flags are also useful, f.e. the one that makes your repair 20% more per/time, manage fires smartly if possible, let 1 burn except if you are close to being sunk, then it is always praying for luck thats the solution. Tank for the team but do not be afraid of going back so others with more health can do it. If you play slow ships be awrae that when you commit to a battle you might have to fight it out f.e. in T7 and below US Battleships likewise choose not to reposition over the entire map especially if you are slow. One thing that I do not as a collector adhere to but are fully aware negates my performance is spreading my play over many different ships too much. plan your captains skill advance wisely, new (well since 2017) eliteXP function makes a new source of skill income which have increased the benefits of 19 p captains enormously. It pays off to have premium ships that you like and a 19 p captain to use on these. For that end I have also invested in some prem camos on T10 ships. I have only 2 19p captains yet but these relatively new tactics for me will be beneficial in the future, I have not utilized this before, so do not make the same mistake as me. On high tier ships good captains are very important for max performance.

Naturally the game needs bot the average player the unicums and both players that plays in (Clan) divisions, I do not think that divisions is a topic that is forbidden but should be open to discussion on how many players, how many divs each side and how to balance them. I play only solo so far , I try to play for the team mostly especially if looks like a teamplay of a rudimentary stage at the beginning with sound dispositions, if cap b+c and the players seem to adhere to that plan I always do my best or suggest avoid D on north , I am decently active in chat if I find responsiveness. I lack voicecomm/teamspeak so that is why I have not join any clan yet, even though the new base structure may force one to it. However with all shiplines except RN BBs and the CVs at T10 I am in no hurry and I am not so found of going into a clan just for oilfarming when the rest of the 5-10 members have less battles than myself and/or sub 45 % WR. Then I rather abstain. But I may reconsider later. Bad gamedesign, I think in another thread some Q/A or some inout from a developer had a somewhat more balaced view which I agree with, namely that it is difficult to balance maps and ships for both the unicum and the average as some ships would be far too difficult for the casual/average player (Kiev was mentioned) and that they have lots of more data that you can not subtract from just WOW-numbers or similar. So he stated that they listen sometimes but need input not only from the unicums/experienced players but also how a f.e. a ship fares in the hands of the more unexperienced. Now I would like to see every aspect of the game in topics now and then as meta evolves with new ships, maps and game mechanics and as I stated earlier I do not think that Div atm is harmful but that is not to say that divisions could not be changed in a way that is harmful. Many of us plays this game seriously but do it in isolation and play more like me as a collector that likes variation. That is not s suitable for divisionplay at more regular basis, even though I might specialize one day a week or so to be really good in that particular ship instead of average at higher tiers. Now when I grinded through most lines I be more inclined to do that and that may increase the interest for divisioning.

191 ships still looking out for the club....

The important thing is to continue banning div in ranked as this by definition is the competetive solo play mode. If that is happening I will not bother with it.

Well I do not think this is the major problem as long as the number of divisions are limited, perhaps maybe with a function that does not able same clan members to two div on same team=6 voicecom. Considering the number of games I have played I have like some other posts not find the 3 Bismarck div or 3 Shima div that in a dominationgame goes to same cap ignoring all teamplay and spamming torps , OK it might give them fun and some sinkings but it would not give them victory. A good CV with a DD and a say DM can be very nasty or some other combination that combines stealth and vision. In such case I know there is a new game minutes away. But I do recognize there may be situations in the future that WG has to be aware of and I have seen Q&A that states that more that 3-man divs should not be allowed so my thoughts on this is not anything major to fear /adress atm but one must keep an eye to it.

I will consider it seriously but it is an expensive skill, and I must give up skills that I like. It is a tradeoff one would like to experiment with becaues it is expensive to respec everything. I may take it on some ships that I grind (RN) but I have lots of antifireflags and so on. As I expect RN ships to be nerfed a least Orion and a few more I will not do a widespread reset at the moment. But I agree with your post in general, when you build new ships and captains and do not spec into sec builds (I want that AFT) it is a good suggestion. But it would be nice to experiment f.e. HA+AR vs FP and do that 100 battles and see how results would be on same BB, and how many of them you consider yourself being saved vs higher damage output. But I like the trade off options so that is not one spectacular superior build.

I can tell you it is for me very rare and extremely rare on T7 and up. I consider putting him in Fuso or similar to have at least a decent chence of the first perk.

After 13000+ battles I have some moments but I can think of these three: early in the career I got one of my three solo warriors in Kawachi when I killed 6 ships and won by killing last 4 (yes it is possible). Second memory is when I broke Flamus 7 kills on his standard account by scoring 8 in Bogatyr. That was fun, not too many have 8 kills as their record, though he might well have 8 or more on all his PotatoGods accounts across the world. But I enjoyed the moment a lot. I had 7 before in a few ships so to get 8 is quite difficult, even for the unicums.. Third is a NM win where we won by a few point 1000 to 997 by me killing a similar NM with 2 seconds or something like that left where I was down to say 100 in health , I wished that have been recorded, it was an epic ending

Its almost every weekend some discount sometimes is it nations some times types but most often on low /mid tiers some times it is also discounts on upgrades which are also important especially on higher tiers 8-10 where there seldom are discounts
