[OTLWS] Barney_Wobba Players 227 posts 5,315 battles Report post #1 Posted January 16, 2019 I still kinda feel like a newbie, so please excuse my post about a T9 ship. I am seriously struggling with this ship. Any turn is punished with massive damage. The radar option is pointless in ranked as without smoke I am totally dead. My captain is still in training though so I guess that does not help, but still...I need so much support and mega positioning...its like a situational ship that cant even fire unless everything is spot on! Help! I watched Flamu etc. Even he said it is a dubious ship. Maybe in a good team it could be good but....random battles.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OTLWS] Barney_Wobba Players 227 posts 5,315 battles Report post #2 Posted January 16, 2019 Getting a bit more used to it. The maps I've had have helped though where I can sneak in and use decent concealment to do sneak attacks with a lot of GB AP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[EFOL] Nadrick Moderator 138 posts 2,724 battles Report post #4 Posted January 17, 2019 I dont play Neptune myself, however what I've heard is exactly what Ysterpyp explained above. Support is the way to go in Neptune, and never go in middle, and definiately not as the first front-line ship. Instead, use your concealment, hide behind smokes/islands, and wait for the enemy to make a mistake, and then give 'em what they deserve! Mastering a ship can take some time. But once its done, its totally worth it. Hope she will show her potential to you soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[S-E] FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor Players 3,529 posts 28,611 battles Report post #5 Posted January 18, 2019 If you feel like a newbie, you should not be playing Tier 9. It really is that simple. You might be forgiven somewhat for doing it in a premium ship to grind credits, but Neptune will of course not even do that for you. Listen to the Flambass.
