[VET] MrOverboard Players 81 posts 7,026 battles Report post #4 Posted February 2, 2020 Devonshire was first bundle both doubloon and token, so i get her at the very beginning. Luck? Don't think so, you can feel lucky if u manage to get tier 8 from token bundles. Also you can't transfer any part from one ship to another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm now using her only for operations, she's great in Killer Whale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[V888] Shagulon Beta Tester 413 posts 32,694 battles Report post #11 Posted February 2, 2020 She has best stats of tier 6 CA (except Graf) although it’s still very early days and the sample size is very small. I started badly with her but last few games she’s coming good. The guns are excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More of a short time, island brawlers type of ships. Well, I'm still waiting to see one! But based on the actual design, Surrey was meant to be slower than the original County class, with speed traded for a bit more armour (although still not much). Does she have the same heal as the VIII? That can help you out a great deal with citadel damage, without that she'd be a proper glass cannon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO, The ship is weak, it is unbalanced in a bad way and I think this " Active Armour " ( or what ever its called ) is broken.

[EZKIL] Sir_Sinksalot Players 1,510 posts 8,248 battles Report post #17 Posted February 2, 2020 I picked it for 1k doubloons but I got the doubloons from some container or God knows where, for free in other words so I effectively got the Devonshire for free really since I didn't have to open my wallet for it. 16 minutes ago, Barracuda_111 said: @Keijo_KalmakouraI do not know if you have this ship Sir?

So far I am " NOT IMPRESSED, I am sure it will all come to light soon. Right now I think if a player wishes to play a Cruiser, there better off with an Italian Cruiser. Work in progress. Ya I think the idea is that she should attack periodically to bring her unique BB like Repair Party in play at least this is how I found her to be somewhat useful. The guns are rather short on range and shell velocity so she does seem to have to pick her moments in which to attack and I found her somewhat workable vs DD's and similar low RoF style cruisers and even getting in some HE volleys on distracted enemy BB's since here 203mm are pretty good at starting fires on BB's but really good at breaking stuff on all ships so it's useful for critical hits. She's pretty slow and more BB like to play which was ok for me since I already had the Warspite and would be of the opinion a commander with a BB skill set build would be more beneficial for this big slow girl that's hard to move and easy to hit than say a fast low concealment light cruiser sort of setup. So I too find the guns pretty poor and the ship to slow and cumbersome to be much for at least for my style of play that would much prefer the likes of a Budyonny and La Gallison but if you can "trade" with her she's an interesting semi-DD sort of playstyle I suppose. Deal some damage against choice targets, expect to take plenty of damage but stay to locations where you can then take cover and use your unique Repair Party feature to heal yourself mostly back up again so that you are effectively making positive trades... even though you initially didn't!! I think that's how she's supposed to be played and how it's she's balanced. If you had great armor, good guns AND the ability to heal yourself too... that would be OP probably since you would just have a ship that can go around shredding other ships and healing yourself after each engagement... that's wouldn't really be fair would it, she'd have the advantages of a cruiser AND a BB all in one package, so I guess rightfully something has to balance it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
