goodman528 Beta Tester 216 posts Report post #1 Posted April 14, 2015 This poll is for both those of us lucky enough to have played the alpha or closed beta, and for the masses who haven't had the chance to try it out yet. What ship class will you play the most after release? And why? I have mostly played CV and DD in closed beta and I think both classes are under powered. CV planes are too slow, torpedo activation range is too long, and planes' turning circle is too wide, DD stealth is hard countered at higher tiers by the sheer amount of planes in the sky and the huge cap circle's magical detection ability. so I will mostly play american CA after release (fast firing main guns, AA ability hard counters carriers).

[PRAVD] Orlunu Alpha Tester 1,427 posts 923 battles Report post #4 Posted April 14, 2015 Pretty sure I've seen this thread before, but w/e. I'mma main the IJN DDs, secondary everything else IJN (cruisers > carriers > battleships), and then can come the Brits, Germans, French and Italians. Probably DD primary for most, followed by BBs for some specific ships I want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DUDS] Crooq_Lionfang Beta Tester 1,999 posts 6,434 battles Report post #5 Posted April 14, 2015 i think my order will be something like IJN CL/CA, IJN DD, US DD, US CL/CA, IJN BB. Have to wait for US BBs before making a decision where in the list they will be placed. Tried a few CV games, didn't like the style, it's just not mine, so mayyyybe they will follow somewhere in the far distance, maybe they won't. I'll probably play all lines simultaneously (Daily 1.5/2/whatever it'll be on each line, rest of the time grind those I want to get to higher tier first) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably DD primary for most, followed by BBs for some specific ships I want. Everything non-yankee? If they return the old AA and fix the DBs I will probably play USN CVs > BBs (probably USN again, but still need to see them) > USN CA (if Des Moines is not nerfed very badly) > OP russian ships or IJN CVs.

[-SBF-] dan_can Alpha Tester 467 posts 2,316 battles Report post #10 Posted April 14, 2015 Voted for DD's, everything else is just too slow. Any class that isn't Carrier because carriers are boring for me personally. Just point and click gameplay just like arty. Well, you could say the same about BBs/CCs/DDs.

Cobra6 Alpha Tester 268 posts 109 battles Report post #11 Posted April 14, 2015 Voted for DD's, everything else is just too slow. Well, you could say the same about BBs/CCs/DDs. Not really if you play them to their role. Carriers, like arty in WoT, are a playing a completely different game than the rest of the classes.

Aernir Beta Tester 135 posts 890 battles Report post #13 Posted April 14, 2015 I'll most likely be focusing on the IJN BB line, since I'm liking every ship in the line currently available. Will have to try the USN BB line to at least T6 before I make any decision on those, but I'll probably play them as well. Liking both CL/CA lines so far, and I find DDs to be a fun diversion every once in a while. Really, the only lines I don't see myself playing are the CVs, partially because how wonky their balancing seems to be, their ability to significantly impact a match seems to swing all over the place depending on what kind of ships you face.

[VH] spitfireace3 Beta Tester 80 posts 4,249 battles Report post #14 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I'll probably play Japanese cruisers because I am really enjoying them right now, perhaps US battleships as well. Im also interested in Italian BBs in the far future and as soon as Britain comes out I will get my Nelson! Edited April 17, 2015 by spitfireace3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #18 Posted April 17, 2015 I'm at the Baltimore, so yeah my first tier X will be Des Moines. Also at tier 7 IJN cruiser, as well as the Nagato, and the Benson tier 6 us DD. So, in short: I'll be playing them all besides cv's which just aren't my thing.
