This sounds fun, although I wonder if cruisers will be as hopeless a case as they were at Tier V? I suspect it will be World of BBs Vs World of DDs again...

T6 is a looooot better than T5, that's for sure - now I just need to hope divisions of two are legal again, that really helped make things kinda fun despite the bad tier last time

I hope not - Ranked should be solo by default!

The thing is ranked is a solo reward -not a division performance - it does not matter if it is fun - It is a principle for me

This is sprint though, not the more serious full-on Ranked - I think a modicum of Fun (if you like that kind of thing) might be permissible...?

Why?? most premiums at T-VI is quite balanced

I feel it should just be general policy.  I used the Kamikaze R last rank; and will use the T-61 this one.

I reached sprint 2 rank 1 in Kongo.. I can't see why people can't use ships they paid for with real money. They are not buying an advantage in most cases. Of course with a few exceptions..

It'll be quite interesting to see what people's picks are for this; it's been quite a long time since there was a T6 ranked of any description (before I started playing, I think), and there have been a quite a few changes/additions.

 

As a DD enthusiast, I'm tending towards T-61, or Shinonome, if only for the extra silver. Gallant might be worth a punt though...

Depending on the meta. My choices is Pensacola, leander, Perth, Arizona, Queen Elizabeth and Fubuki... Considering Graf Spee for heal and T-61 for hydro

I'm loving it... lots of my favourite ships at T6. Should get Warspite or maybe buy back Queen E.

Presumably, quite a bit will depend on how prevalent CVs turn out to be...?

 

There might be some fun to be had with Huanghe even...

which is a firm and written rule... where again? Oh right, it isnt. Ranked is what the devs and players make it.

Is the T-61 that bad? I don't have very many games in mine, but I've usually found the Z-39 a bit more comfortable to play. I'm probably doing it wrong though...

Not totally bad, only 2nd best buy in my opinion for lower tiers after Belfast if you have any idea what to do with DD :Smile_trollface:

I won a t-61 from a clan contest, easily the best t6 dd for pretty much everything id say. Great guns, hydro, good torps with fast reload, etc etc. Awesome little thing

Hatsuharu will be my choice for DD. Dust the cobwebs off the 19 pointer who commands her...

 

BB's choices Mutsu, Bayern, Warspite or New Mexico... 

 

Not really a Cruiser man but have Graf Spee, De Grasse or Pensacola...

 

Looking forwards to a T6 rank battle after the T5 garbage.

I'll have to respectfully disagree here. Sure, the T-61 is good, significantly too good in fact, no question about it at all. But at least in my experience it doesnt nearly dominate its tier to the extent that a Kamikaze or Gremlin do, simply because its competition (Shino, Anshan, Fushun, Farragut...) is a lot more competent themselves.

Dunkerque time! :cap_cool:

 

 

I love the Dunkerque when playing a DD.... get on her stern and fire HE after HE.. match Dunkerques turns and she can never hit you... doesn't matter how many of your guns can train on target for from the rear she is a pussycat... Burn baby, burn. :Smile_teethhappy:

Well, since my playstyle is to kill enemy DD-s as fast as possible the only other i would pick is british(hydro helps me a lot), but they for sure are not as powerful as Kami for tier 5.

Well, then I will just put my french cap with full secondary build, just for those 12 130 mm rear guns to not be as drunk as usual   :cap_book:
