Georgia is really great for some easy bot-molesting in coop :D

Requires its own captain though, unless you already got Massa.

Haven't tried the ship in randoms yet, might suffer from the main guns limitations there.

The thing about Georgia ( why I think it is a strong pick for a solo warrior ) is it promotes a more aggressive play style if you like to go into the middle zone of the map.

it is I believe one of only 3 ships, currently in game with a super speed heal.

 

 

The guns punch hard.

 

 

The speed is very useful, if a player has the ability to read situations and can react to them.

 

I think Salem is the best coal buy, for team play. Followed by for solo Random Georgia

 

Having said all that, I didnt do well in Georgia in this season of Ranked.

 

 

I feel this is down to Me not the ship, I got a bit " Tiered " this season in Ranked with some of the player, bases irreverent toxic, self centred game play. Thus My interest in the rank season waned some what. Some thing War Gaming, I personally feel need to work harder on. ( removing these players from the game )

 

Sofar~~

Why? Salem has no utility. The only difference than DM is that she dies slowly hugging an island. Everything else DM have better. That abismal radar is rather useless... So I keep hydro on mine instead. 

 

Of all t9+ coal ships ever sold Salem is the worst ship to pick. 

 

JB and Georgia are probably the best pick... But Georgia requires high level commander for effective build. 

 

Smolensk is boring. 

Yoshino is better fun.

To be Honest I forgot JB was a coal ship.

 

How much coal is it?

I accept your points, I think if you have not ground out Des Moines and have the coal Salem represents a viable option for " a random " player, giving them game options that they may or not be aware of.

 

One thinks a number of players wish to join clans and / or play with friends thus Salem ( as I said in before some where, is a " rip off " Des Moines ) is a tad more useful to / for team play.

 

I had forgotten JB is a coal ship, I still knowing this consider Salem a better purchase for team play.

 

Would I pick JB over Georgia for solo Random ? <r>  Thinking about it, Yes ever time. I am a selfish aggressive player.

Well, the thing is that Yoshino is straight better ship than Salem for randons and CB. 

 

Salem radar is just 25 sec for 8.5km... A competent DD will stay out of this range and F3 the Salem untill it dies as being slow turd with RN heal. 

 

Yoshino on other hand is an awesome kiter which could slow or even stop a push at weak flank. And her HE rounds pen everything... Doing 10k HE salvos at 20+ km is not a joke at all.

Yoshino,s armour worries me personally, I have looked at it a few times, and still can not decide if it fits My Fleet

It's damn effective when angled... Especially at range.Similar to Zao... Just with better range and worst concealment but still equal to Salem's.. 

 

And she can even stealth torp with both torpod variants.
