damn it. I totally forgot about that one. damn it.

when i saw my Nurnberg in there ...What a jump scare. But then i remembered i always had the B hull. Uffff.

Clemson was a pig for me, the guns suck Nicholas it's my favourite, I'm at Farragut.

Why? That doesn't make any sense. That it's for dds only or will affect other classes?

@MrConway, @Crysantos, @Sehales, @TheWarJaC, @WG_Lumberjack I summon you all for a bit of your time. In the last rental i casually picked up a ship, randomly, among others. And while i was aware of it's existence and somewhat controversial nature (reviews, opinions and so on), i surprisingly clicked with it. (were you expecting that? Neither was I expecting that) it was completely from the left field After a few weeks i finally bought it and now i can't stop playing it. It will be my newest go to ship, and that's a first for a premium ship Videos and opinions are very helpful and have a huge importance and impact in the decision making process but neither of them substitute the best advice that you will ever have. Trying for yourself, a first hand review. If one can have all three it will be nice In this particular case, i could have it much sooner, and was purely by chance that i own it now. (the randomness of the last rental didn't help either). In this particular case, i found out only by chance that my preferences were opposite to the general consensus So, i'm asking for more frequent rentals to see what else i'm missing or grossly overlooking Thank you

I agree with you there. But in this particular case it was worth it ( i don't remember what was the currency i used) That would be the logic choice but i'm glad to not going for it. I would face the same issues than before. This way it's a breath of fresh air, a very capable ship, that i would never know either wise, i would never guessed Paying real money for rentals, it's a gamble, hoping for a tailor made ship, i was luck this time. I may not be so lucky next time. So i won't comment on that. It kicked Lenin in the teeth The last rental was in the armory in the bundles you could buy one and the ship that came out was a random one ,

Suspected activities could mean a lot of things , and the majority the allegations don't hold on in most cases . you can send the replay But don't report others for your (your as in general yours) miss plays

Hell no. Once i got reported by a Sinop that i ambushed with my Nurnberg. He dodged my first set of torps but eat the second and third and sunk. My "suspect activities" were only proved by his ignorance about what he just faced , nothing more

I used to think that way back when i was in Clemson which is deep down a IJN torpboat.if you ask me. In the beginning Nicholas never had a chance, which is an awesome dd , it's guns never go quiet and has very nice torps/guns combination i prefer Nicholas over Farragut. Thanks to Nicholas i got Graf Spee. It holds the line better than Farragut Then i won Hatsuharu in a mission ( back when operation Dynamo was still in the rotation) I was just 2 tiers way from AKIZUKI. What a painful and snail paced grind. I had a target but my target was often blocked by something that could spot me, i had to work around it only to find another vessel that would block me, and i had to work around yet again and i did that as much as my patient would allow it. Next ship Shiraytsu, crap, i just free XP over this one. Next stop and finally. Akizuki, i pick a target i'm able to punch through and go for said target and it holds the line just fine, torps are great to bail from a situation but in most cases i would pick hydro. Brits are ok gunboats, they are great for contest caps and to hijack smokes but how they suck in missions like 1600 hits with main guns, their smoke it's pathetic, at best...... One minute DDs. Friesland, it's a dakka dakka ship with hydro and no torps on top of that, what's not to like, I'm completely sold. Akizuki, kitakaze, Friesland are for "special occasions, meanwhile, Nicholas lives on like a workhorse because not only it's an awesome dd but also much cheaper to run

that feature it's the main selling point for me Akizuki shouldn't have torps either, just guns and hydro.

I only did that because i really don't know what every one of them exactly does or what are the differences between Community Engagement Lead Community Producer EU Community Project Manager Community Manager

Alabama

That ship at t10 will need something to keep it alive. Akizuki, and akizuki's sister ships will have it for lunch, as well other DDs. Gun placement wise it will be a slightly better Tenryo , while it may troll BBs like smolensk do or did , it will be citadeled by literally everything else in the map with plain HE and even if they (that said division) manage to cross drop you it will be (i imagine) very similar to the old RTS cv days. And you have RPF, Radar, Hydro. Danger divisions will be Kitakami + dds (gunboats or Ashashio) But the real pain will come afterwards with the unable to hit target crap with theirs Ubber torps.

overpens everywhere?

you know what? I don't mind. This game is worst and worst every time there's a new addition. But i'll give a break for old additions. Kitakami was before my time, so it's a blast from the past, from pré 8.0 patch, pré 7.0 patch ( i think i arrived around patch 6. something) 21 march 2017 How fast it will turn in old news and tiring that's a different story.

oh, i heard about it. I guess it will be the first shinyo (kamikaze boats) in the game. Good thing i just bought Alabama, agile and with the second best torpedo belt in the game . Torps beats for all around.

first of all queue the music. I got it today, brand new, 0 miles from the dealership I forgot a little detail...the captain. (only 3 points) and i don't have any more 10 points US captains My first impressions I'm testing it, so far, all good, I'm playing a bit conservative, sometimes squid style, because no turtleback, no German armour, but , so far, i feel it has more to give than what i demand from it and I'm under the impression that it's tougher than i think it is, it can shatter or bounce up to 406 shells. Handling wise i think it's just like a Bayern, a slightly fatter Bayern but with much bigger guns Which is great because maybe i could do a Bayern out of it ( my Bayern has a 11 sec. rudder) . The Guns are awesome, it's like the Hulk fists or the Mjolnir (Thor's hammer), the citadel hits are still a bit random but they are there in almost all the games if not all. so far...I'm lovin' it, was a great purchase. At the moment it's very vulnerable to HE (no skills yet) and no cv either.

Only saw that in my quote, what a kick in the balls of English grammar . I'll go change it. I have PT/AR/CE and some AA build (12 pointer)cruiser wise Baltimore will be my next budyonny. One of my go to ships.

Massa in the USBB line can be a change of pace, a different flavour but not so much when you go to compare it with KMBBs, while maintaining some key differences, at the end of the day, both brawlers make the same trade and you end up basically with 2 different versions of the same ship. They are fun and awesome but you will need something slightly different at some point . This was my train of thoughts . I dismissed Massa over Alabama but that doesn't mean i won't pick Massa in the future I could argue that, by the time i reach NC ,Alabama returned my investment over and over again and without going through the painful gauntlet up to t7 which is true. But do you believe that i completely forgot about that? As i said, I think I clicked with Alabama instantaneous in that rental and i cannot explain why, i played Lenin, it was the ship where i did the most damage with, i played Graf Spee i played others, but i kept going back to Alabama over and over again and that ship ended to outshine every other ship that i played, even Lenin that can plow through things like nothing am i bothered to pay for a copy of a silver ship? No. not only Alabama is revealing to be a awesome ship by it's own but where i stand, NC seems so far way of where i am or from my more immediately plans. e.g. a 19 point captain for my Baltimore which ironically Alabama is delaying or even contesting it, i'm not sure yet. I just leave this quote from LWM (outdated) review, i don't fully understand because i don't have a comparison but at the same time I'm understanding For Fun Factor:Bottom line: Is the ship fun to play? Mouse: Very yes. I enjoyed my time very much sailing her… so much so that I’m giving North Carolina a bit of the stink eye. Alabama has good agility, great gun handling, punchy guns and who doesn’t like making enemy carriers cry? Lert: Yes. Alabama is a comfortable and enjoyable ship to drive. Until you overestimate your turn and end up losing 2/3 of your health to some well placed battleship AP into your overexposed citadel. If you’re the kind of person who can suck it up when that happens and admit it was your own mistake to show so much side, Alabama is a fun and rewarding ship to play.

Now there isn't virtually any difference between them anymore i have to wait. to be patient That's an understatement Exactly where i was, up to New York i don't see anything special. In the first set of reviews (with raised citadel) the overall verdicts was meh at best, which i understand, but in the second set of reviews, the overall verdict was still kind of bland Alabama it's great and caught me by surprise, I'm always comparing it with German BBs and so far Alabama it's just as tanky i wasn't expecting that. Kremlins, Massas and so on do nothing or close to nothing with main guns to my Alabama (perhaps i'm trying to check all the boxes before i engage the target, as i don't have turtle back i don't get overconfident or sloppy in my approach with a "it can take it, that will do" mindset. or the bots fire at different places or both. Either way, or this ship is that good or things will change in random. But i feel it's better to take a grain of salt pill and lower my expectations to not be disappointed Tank test, co-op mode Highest potential damage Bismarck - 2.055.200 Alabama - 1.790.070 the game was over by that time cause i could do more i had much more HP than in the Bismarck one. I can understand that ( Massa overshadowing Alabama) - newer ship - different flavour - Must be equally tanky - special heals - fast What i don't understand is why i see so few Alabamas out there, because. - it's tanky - it's fast @Execute0rder66 said it. Alabama is just underrated, there's nothing wrong with it. IMHO That's why i dismissed Massa. I have four of those already Bayern Gneisenau Bismarck FDG They can be fun, they are awesome and i love them but sometimes.... can make you mad.

You know? I made +800 battles with Budyonny when i decide to try a different thing, Nurnberg was next and was (and is amazing), long story short it provide the same things but in a different way, in a different flavour I love German BBs, JB, they are awesome but eventually i need to vary. And i always was curious about USBBs finally i meet one that goes towards my expectation (I'm still running the gauntlet in the silver line as i did with the German line). In the last rental i tried Alabama, Lenin and others. With Lenin i did the most damage, that ship it's like a zombie, eats damage, after damage and just keeps going like it was nothing, but during that rental i found myself going back to Alabama more and more, until i played nothing more except Alabama. Ever since it was the single ship of that rental that remained in my mind but with no German qualities i hesitated , then the new USBB appear in the horizon... And i find it very similar to Bayern, seems familiar. I almost bought it last week, after a session with Gneisenau, 4 shells, all of them went wonky and hit a different spot missing the target kind of story. I don't like to precipitate In contrast ,my first game with my Alabama. Nice change of pace, new flavour of [edited]yeah, 'Múrica, and i will still have my KMBBs For now i'm taking slow i'm just waiting for Alabama's captain

there's a lot that can go wrong 1- Bismarck can try to damage the torps, could bait the torps if he decide to go forward 2- If Bismarck decide to turn around because it can take it (the best course of action, flamu words) Tirpitz can't launch his torps, then it comes down who better angle in and angle down between shots and there are always situations where who pushes is always in a disadvantage. You can do it with a Bayern and come out on top but in the Bayern case must be a more calculated manoeuvre because Gneise, Bis, Tirpz can catch it Tirpz will never catch Bis or Gneise in a situation that will extend over a time all comes down to angling and gunnery skills and ammo options But that's in a particular case, in random that's a different story

what's your Bismarck build?
