Thank you for your constructive feedback. It's a more intense, focused version of Random battles, and very enjoyable. Tier VI should be fun, possibly the most diverse tier of "proper" ships in the game, few go-to OP ships like Kami R. I'm thinking about using Fubuki, Warspite, Normandie and Monaghan, myself.

Probably will be a BB/DD dominated so might give ol' Aoba a few spins, she never lets me down. Or De Grasse if I play manage to play more games and become more comfortable piloting her.

De grasse is nice but i wouldnt bring a cl in 5v5 tbh too soft, cant overmatch anything and there is little time for burning stuff couse when they focus you its probbably game over quickly, maybee perth or leander might work if you get decent dds but thats lottery, prefer to forge my own fate when possible

Hmmm last T6 ranked was ruined by perma border hugging Fuso's IIRC?

 

I'll be bringing out the ol' Warspite i think, maybe Graf Spee for a laugh.  :)

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

I don't think so.

 

People get hung up on "the strongest AA of her tier" but she doesn't get defensive AA. I wager a C-Hull Farragut with its 400% def AA is a stronger proposition. You don't even have to go full manual (which you could, of course.)

And regarding the T-61, besides not being as ridiculously broken OP as the usual Tier V suspects or Belfast, the other thing that makes it far less infuriating is that she is still on sale and everybody can just get one for a measly 21 Euros. So no need at all to whine about it, except maybe for players from regions where that actually constitutes a lot of money.

I'm going to start with the Dallas.  Carriers will undoubtedly be as popular as in the last two sprints, especially now that they'll have manual drops.  The AA of the Dallas will be a really valuable counter to that.  It's also quite dangerous to destroyers and lobs well from behind cover.

 

Like many, I thought cruisers would be too squishy for such small matches in the tier 5 sprints.  I therefore started by using the Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya, but once I finally decided to try out the Kirov, it turned out to perform even better.  The enemy battleships are really focused on getting the cruisers, so if you manage to stay alive for a while through a mixture of kiting and hiding, then you're really drawing damage away from your teammates.

Aaaand they've done it, they've gone and ruined Tier VI, by launching another Giulio, under the name "USS Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel with the freakin' 16-inch guns", errr, "USS Inbred Redneck Central", aka "USS West Virginia."

 

I had all but forgotten about that damn thing.

<chuckle> Like the description!

 

Presumably though, she'll be wide open to getting a tonking from CVs?

How so? WV seems nothing like GC to me? Its slow, mediocre range, average sigma, HP nothing special either, 16" dont bring all that much over 15" in t6 only mm and mutsu had those for a while anway... But maybee i am missing something?

Actually, this is really bad news.

 

We had tier 6 Ranked in the past, not Sprint Ranked.

 

Seems that WG wants to make Ranked only tier 10  now. Greed.
