Anounced today: As you might remember, in Update 0.7.9 we temporarily added the new "Arms Race" type of battle. Its format wasn't much different from Random Battles: we had the same 12 vs. 12 scenarios, along with domination points, 1000 of which earnt would completely destroy your opponents. But the Key Areas in this mode were trickier, appearing in random locations and at different times. Capturing them yielded not just points, but also battle bonuses for the capturing ship and their nearest allies. Some of these bonuses reduced the reload time and others reduced detectability, or even increased HP recovery. This is where the name "Arms Race" originated from, with teams fighting for the competitive advantage provided by these bonuses. This type of battle returns in early 2019, and will become a part of new Ranked Battles. These battles will take place among teams of six players with Tier IX ships. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 13,162 posts 11,029 battles Report post #7 Posted December 15, 2018 Musashi sounds quite strong. Alltho, im not too keen on Arms Race... maybe its better in ranked mode who knows? (hated it back then because of idiot teammates screwing you over) But 6vs6 with musashi? Hell yeah, unless its a lot of DDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DK-CP] NothingButTheRain Players 6,338 posts 14,259 battles Report post #10 Posted December 15, 2018 Missouri, Musashi or Lion perhaps. Can't think of any t9 cruiser I'd like to bring that really impressed me. Unless it's a ship I don't have yet or Donskoi perhaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hesp Players 1,461 posts 8,347 battles Report post #13 Posted December 16, 2018 I usually use the first ranks to farm some ship. So possibly I will play Neptune or Saint Louis. In rank 5 (if the known classical system is maintained), it will be necessary to take something of value such as Musashi or JB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain_KriegWurst Players 126 posts 7,606 battles Report post #14 Posted December 16, 2018 If it's like normal ranked: Musashi, Fletcher maybe Jutland if I have it by then. If it's like Arms Race? Tashkent. With buffs to stealth and reload it becomes hilarious fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lacks camo for cap contests, but delivers DFAA and 10+5 rather fast torps. For general gunboating you might be better with Tashkent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fletcher is the queen of T9 DDs by far, the only close competitor is the Fletcher-clone Chung Mu which can be strong with radar if you manage to get competent teammates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CR33D] fumtu [CR33D] Players 3,842 posts 38,979 battles Report post #24 Posted December 16, 2018 Not to much exited about prospect of using Arms Race for Ranked. I don't think that would be a good idea. There is very little control of what you can get and once ships start collecting bonuses you can end being (almost) stealth radared by Missouri which is ridicules. If I play T9 ranked, I would use what I have and that is, Fletcher, Chung Mu and Z-49. All of them have something good, Fletcher - DFAA, Chung Mu - Radar and Z-49 - 5km Hydro. All have good guns and good torps. I could train/get 19pts captain for all of them. Didn't keep a single T9 cruiser, have Missouri and probably will be able to buy by that time a JB or even Black. But I'm not BB fan and Black torps in competitive mode? Well I'll see what I'll do when season starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CMWR] Lootboxer Players 3,817 posts 21,306 battles Report post #25 Posted December 16, 2018 Mo or Musashi, but I suck with BBs, so probably Fletcher, radar Chung Mu, TRB Yogumo or Kitakaze for star saving, maybe z46 for hydro. Can't think of any CC and I do not have Kron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
