[SCRUB] Leo_Apollo11 Quality Poster 6,145 posts 24,157 battles Report post #1 Posted March 4, 2019 Hi all, Initial "Alaska" stats... #1 If we go to "WoWs Stats & Numbers" we get: https://wows-numbers.com/ship/3760109552,Alaska/ and with less than 40 players with at least 40 games in her... #2 If we go to "MapleSyrup" we get: http://maplesyrup.sweet.coocan.jp/wows/ranking/20190302/eu_week/average_ship.html Number of battles differ (and they should because the MapleSyrup collects data weekly on fixed day) but overall stats more-or-less match...

BB stats relevant i think 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BB stats relevant i think with Seattle and Buffalo down there, that almost makes it look like Alaska's intended to pull up the overall USN T9 cruiser stats to competitive levels... oh WG and their sikrit speshul plans and schemes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I played just 2 "Random" games with her... both defeats with barely 50K average damage and 1.5 kills per game... but... I liked her immensely and the "problem" was crumbling "team" - in both defeats my "team" lost within 10 minutes of the game start (you all know that sad old story where both DDs die by practical suicide in 1-2-3 minutes even without enemy CVs and then the team is 100% doomed in "Domination")...

I played her once in Coop, was outstanding. Just use AP much more where you wouldnt with other ships, you will still get pens because of the improved angles. 12k upper belt hits on BBs is easily possible! I just angled away and kited with it, since bots push anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leo "Apollo11" I admit on directing fire on Alaskas when they in game, and I think when people get used to seeing the ship she will perform even better as I find her dangerous from what I've seen in games, we will see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] Ubertron_X [NWP] Beta Tester 2,209 posts 21,664 battles Report post #8 Posted March 4, 2019 Bought on day one, fitted, not played yet. From what I have seen and read the Alaska is an open water cruiser done right (perhaps even a litte too right when looking at the stats). Finally as I have to say. Open water respectively (super) heavy cruisers should mainly be about AP and leave the IFHE HE spam to their smaller caliber island hugging brothers and sisters (unless you are a german CA, in which case you also spam HE because of anaemic AP).

I think that it is also partly the meta. PvE favours torpedoes, very big guns, and ships with a very high rate of fire. It hurts ships with lower rate of fire, and those that rely on catching the enemy broadside. I don't have Alaska (though have enough free XP in "ready cash") but I am wary of getting it since I struggle with heavy cruisers. (Though in Operations the T6 Pensacola and T8 Baltimore are very good IMHO) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-OOF-] ollonborre Beta Tester 2,408 posts 11,572 battles Report post #10 Posted March 4, 2019 I like it. Durable, punishing AP, solid HE and nice AA power. Also Radar as the cherry on top. It really fells like a lightweight Iowa (unsuprisingly) that sacrifices alpha and armor for DPM and manuverability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-FF-] elblancogringo Players 1,201 posts 7,287 battles Report post #12 Posted March 11, 2019 One thing bothers me with Alaska. I can't citadel her, even with Kron or BBs. I find her too good in terms of survivability compared to Kron, which maybe explains the higher average damage. There are so many potatoes sailing broadside with her and I can't punish them. It's really annoying. A cruiser shouldn't be immune to citadels. Yes there will be people saying they can citadel her. But really, how many times did you do it? And i know how to aim, well, I think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
