I always look at this as what ship would I fear in the enemy team. Ragnar is scary for any class FDR scary for any large class, Stalingrad, pretty scary for everything. Plymouth? Only really scary for a DD going cap contesting before it knows where the Plymouth is, a misplay. Plymouth isjust not scary to battleships, cruisers or long range destroyers IMO.

It was well timed indeed. Here’s the video if anyone missed it:

Moved him from my Elbing to the Schleiffen. He suits it very well though probably the Elbing would get a bigger benefit in the vast majority of games.

If you’ve looked at all these ships and are so lukewarm about them, it’s probably best you don’t buy. I wouldn’t buy a steel ship that I wasn’t very hungry for especially when the coupon is valid for 6 more months.

Santa crates have always been great value if you own all the low tier and common ships.

Kind of depends on what you need to do. Long range HE and cap support? Moskva is easily best. long range cruiser blapping? You want Stalingrad. Closer range pushing? Petro is easily the best here.

You only get steel if you have all the ships in the list. Subsequent ship drops will give you steel.

It’s pretty hard to recommend a T9 over a tier 10 for such similar prices. Unless that ship is an Alaska. it’s all the more difficult when Tulsa only had 60% of the T10 Des Moines dpm and worse radar.

Stealth secondaries do not exist in this game. Not far off though.

One with no superstructure.

There are certain similarities certainly. napoli secs kill destroyers faster but don’t light fires as well.

With poor accuracy. Compared to the Siegfried at least.

Wrong on both counts.

Marceau is excellent and always fun to play. In a DD knife fight the Marceau fears no one but Ragnar IMO. Max Immelmann is a good CV and my favourite. If you like CVs, it's a great purchase. As @WorthyOpponent Suggested, Marceau could easily be on the next list of ships to be removed making it an even more attractive proposition.

Lutjens is excellent in gun boat destroyers and light cruisers for gun reload. Carriers for improved plane restoration and battleships for secondaries. If you have lots of German premiums, he is very much worth it. Kuznetzov is excellent on ships with a large health pool like battleships or heavy cruisers. The ‘will to victory’ talent is excellent. Sansonetti is good due to enhanced gun feeder which fits both the battleship and Venezia very well. One kill gives range which is again helpful as both ships lack range. Due to premium availability and commander versatility, I would go with one of the first two. They are worth the coal but you should prioritise ships first.

How many unicum spend that much time playing tier 6?

I really like my Gibraltar and am second in the leaderboard(out of four!) However, I haven’t found a single unicum streamer who likes it. I also haven’t seen much praise for it on the forum. This makes me hesitate to recommend it as I know some ships just click with some people.

Range mod as it also improves mid range accuracy due to napoli’s strange vertical dispersion.

I've encountered a couple of Ragnar in the last few days and killed both easily. I'm not sure if they thought their 25mm armour does anything to counter a druid. Of course, at long range I would favour a ragnar. I don't think these were great Ragnar pilots by any means. Elbing is a nice big target that can do nothing to you when your bow on. If they kite to use their rear two turrets they expose their flat stern and still die fast.

Tested a bow on Druid vs Kleber bot. Took 40s to kill him out of 82 hits, 65 were pens and 1 overpen killed one turret and incapacitated them 4 times. When at the angle where Kleber can actually fire torps it takes just 20s to go 100-0 hp. Bow on Kleber vs Daring bot. Kleber took 72s to kill Daring using one reload booster. Druid has a bigger hit point pool.

Kleber has excellent torp angles so it would certainly manage to torp the druid. the Druid will present a bow on profile though so one torp would not end it. As soon as the DD tries to turn out it starts to melt very quickly indeed. Like a Yoshino trying to get torps off on a Stalingrad if you've seen someone try that!

Well Druid is my most played ship and it has been my experience. I'm not sure If it's the much better dispersion the Druid has compared to Mino or its superior dpm when bow on. We were discussing Kleber vs Druid but I used Marceau as an example as I have had Marceaus charge me often. Klebers usually stay at range and use their superior speed and shell flight times where they are most dangerous The other DD will also often lose turrets during the engagement this certainly plays a part in them often trying to turn out to fire rear guns or torps with predictable consequences.

You do when you are in smoke or already plane spotted. Sometimes the fireworks dazzle a pilot or two! Played it a few times today and there are two pilots that would have gone back to their families if I didn't turn AA on occasionally. Paolo Emilio IX 8 75% Super Unicum 1 986 Great 60 204 1.75 0.25

£1.41 of doubloons for £0.99 per month? Not bad, shame I can't join ten times!

No 137k base, half that when bow on.
