Pretty straight forward poll. Steel ships take awhile to grind. Do you enjoy yours? Is it good? Do you regret it?

Well its a single answer poll do it reset my black answer, in short - i am happy with both Black and Stalingrad, I dont even regret spending a little bit of steel on coal conversion to get Yoshino faster...

 

Flint is borderline interesting to me and I might get it with december coupon unless they release something more interesting in the meanwhile, Burgogne is wery low on my list since I dont really like Alsace that much and Neustrashny is completely uninteresting to me

Got the Flint recently. Only played Shipstorm and one match in randoms, but then again she's basically an Atlanta (a ship I used to like until the CV rework) with smoke instead of radar so I knew pretty well what I was getting into. No regrets here.

Single answer polls can't be messed with as easily.

Atlanta is still as fun as ever.

Wasn't it a bit more exciting playing the Atlanta though..? No smoke to save your butt..? I didn't expect Flint to be this highly regarded tbh.

I'll probably get Flint sometime, it is the only one I am interested in. 

I have Salem and some, but T8/9/X gameplay is just mega-meh. 

 

For now keeping the steel maybe they decide Ark Royal to be steel or whatever.

Until you realize that you can easily get over half of your HP wiped out before you even leave spawn by something you're supposed to be good against.

I can only hope the new AA rework does her some good but I highly doubt it.

I have Stalingrad - I do not play it in random, so she is a port queen which sees only Ranked and Clan Battles.  Still no regrets. 

Have enough resources for Bourgogne, but no current steel ship attracts me.

Only way for that to happen is if you'd clone yourself. I've yet to experience it. Usually a good number of plane kills or little issues from cvs.

There's no option to pick more than one ship. Cause I have Stalingrad and Black. Both good and fun but the Black I couldn't find myself how to build it at first. More I'm full gunboat instead of mix. Much better.

Love my Flint, because the Atlanta got nerfed too much. Atlanta, one of my favorites, is okay lately but only when accompanied by a good smoke carrying teammate or no CV to mess with her conceilment.

It's strange that you mixed good and fun. 

 

Stalingrad for example is good, but not a lot of fun. 

 

Couldnt agree more.

 

I had to decide: Stalin or Bourgogne. A lot of people said, how much fun Bourgogne is, but i dont really like those small caliber guns, already on JB, and Bourgogne is even a tier higher. So in the end, i went with Stalingrad. Not a bad ship, but because of its reputation, not that much fun to play it. Everyone gets busy shooting you, because "Stalingrad OP, must die !!!11"

 

The issue i see with Bourgogne, its bad at tanking. Low HP and covered in thin armor (free HE farm). I can do well in GK, because i can tank a lot if needed. Maybe Bourg could make it up for it by deleting stuff, but i also see issues with Cruisers which can bounce your shells.

If i get the steel, i might take it still as the next ship. Not really interested in Flint/Black/Neustra and probably neither in Somers.

 

Cant really vote, as stalin is good, but not that much fun :Smile_sad:

I had steel for just one ship and I went with Black. As I saw it: "I have Atlanta and Flit is very near so Black it is." Nah, Kidd is better but what the hell....

I got Black thanks to the snowflake thing last winter and like her a lot: excellent base ship (she's a Fletcher - what's not to like?), with the splendid smoke/radar combination, albeit mitigated by torps that run at a similar pace to tectonic drift!

Stalin - yes, good or fun

Stalin - good or fun but would pick another if given another choice

..or regret Stalin

Either of these should have you covered, shouldn't they?

Ahahahaha

this is a joke right?

Do you really think they are going to sell the long waited Ark Royal for steel? 

Come on they want to milk money. That's why they have announced that next sprint ranked will be open to CV.
