Happy new year fellow/enemy Captains !

 

I am making this poll since I saw many ask if X ship from this category  is worth or not, and I am also curious which one this forum is considering the best bang for the buck and must suited for today's meta.

Vote and express your opinion if you like !

I wish you all balans teams in battles :cap_cool:

I'm another vote for MA, although it depends a bit on what captains you have available, and which modes you want to play the thing in.

I own and play them all, but Massa is just in a different league of overall utility.

 

(In the recent Ranked, Tirpitz at last found its niche - but Massa even beat it at that game)

 

If you need to get one of those "500 secondary hits" missions done - Massa is your ship. I personally also find it a good tank/gun ship; I literally have not used my Alabama(s) since Massa came out.

 

Optimum option is to get a regular Massa and a Massa B. Have one as full tank build with captain, and one with full secondary build with captain (I have two Montana captains; one tank, one secondaries)

 

 

But, hey, all of the T8 premium BBs can be fun - even Gascogne. E.g. If your "thing" is a risky brawling battle and permanent bottom tier MM, then Vanguard plays a bit like a T9 supercruiser.

Massachusetts is the strongest. But needs a high point captain to enjoy all its benefits. Such a captain would not be great on other US battleships. 

 

i just got the Vanguard and it’s a lot better than I thought. Very accurate and manoeuvrable. Lenin is also fun.

 

I have all the T8 premium battleships from the armory.

Massa and Lenin.

 

Massa is both fun and very good that can take on anything. However you needed a dedicated captain for it. 

 

Lenin is a one-way street BB but is very good at what it does. 


Both can do alright in a tier 10 match too.  But i would recommend the Massa first, it's also more forgiving (slightly). 

 

Like Crackteackerflack, i haven't touched the Alabama since and i loved that ship (full AA build back then and div with a cv).

I voted for the Lenin, mainly because its the only one I have. :Smile_Default: I've found it farily entertaining and its the best thing I've gotten out of the Puerto Rico situation as I recieved it from the Mega Santa crate rewarded for completing stage III.

How can you called it killed if it wasn't completed and commissioned before after the war. Yes it was damaged but not killed

Define Strongest Please.

If you had CW of t8...nobody would take Massa or any sesondarie ship...they would take most precise BB that can crosfire with precision and still has a puch...that is why you play Montana on t10.

 

Silver t8 RU is much better ship than Lenin (alost 10k more HP) and for Kremlin place in comeptitive you would use silver ship.

 

so infact for competitive play Alabama is strongest ship as she is most similar to NC.

Would you say the Massa is superior in randoms? I certainly would as would the stats as imperfect as they are.

 

Lenin now has an accuracy advantage over the Vlad and has a much smaller section of 32mm armour. add that to the gun arrangement and I think they are fairly close in ability.

Massa is undoubtedly the best T8 BB for randoms. Her only real weakness is that the guns are a bit trollish.

For competitive play... Good question actually. Competitive hasn't been played at T8 for so long all old info is far outdated. It also depends on whether CVs are allowed or not.

One of most fun for sure, and very very very strong. Offc secondarie spec

 

About Lenin....well that less HP would hurt alot in competitive.

Regarding Lenin, in my opinion the advantages of sigma, turret traverse and turning circle combined with slightly improved armour lessen the impact of the HP disparity.

Vlad is probably still the best T8 silver ship so the Lenin doesn’t necessarily need to match it to be a very strong ship.

I’m glad Wargaming didn’t just make them clones!

 

Worth saying that I do not competitive so my comments are based around my experience in randoms.

Massa

And because of MM changes, it actually became even stronger, now that it can rape T6 boats more often :cap_happy:

But not alone, I am really enjoying it at the moment.

 

Interestingly before the matchmaking change this kind of thread would have many people suggesting not buying a T8 due to ending up against T10 ships all the time.

Since the change T8 is a very pleasant tier to play. T7 though......
