Okay so I probably shouldn't make this since I've only have played one coop match with her since I unlocked her last night. 

Both being a you stupid factor. 

- 1 match you haven't seen al of the ship

- coop you can Reee without much consequence 

But I tried to rush a Charles martel. Pump his side with AP in like 2-4km range but my either my shells scraped over his deck or there's was some late night voodoo going on. Cause like 5 shots appeared to just go through him. And the first three only did like 4k dmg. 

 

Just unlucky or a scenario to learn from?

Still somewhat viable since the ship didn't change much. 

It’s actually easier since that vid is from when Moskva did not have 50mm Stalinium bow

You bow in at the side of an island and shoot your HE, AP when broadside. Sometimes pop a radar when a DD is near. Or when you kite away, you show them your [edited]and shoot.

Play co-op to get used to the ship. No, I'm serious. Learn when to use AP and where to aim, learn how to angle and mitigate. Or throw in some bots in a training battle.

I'm getting used to it, but I prefer it much more than Kremlin. I found it hard to play at first, but I'm getting a hang of it. You can play it as a long range BB in a sense, you are quite tanky for a cruiser and you are agile like a BB so might as well play as one. Never show your broadside, not even for a second, always be aware of your enemy positions. Torpedos are hard to dodge because of the agility so try to use some islands to stay between you and DDs. This ship is all about guns, they are quite good in both ammo types, ok reload and veeeeeeeeeeeery good accuracy. The best range for me is around 15 km, anything else is either too far that breaks your shell arc or too close for people to penetrate and damage you or take out your guns.

Disclaimer: I am pretty new to it too, still getting a hang of it, but these are my impressions and tactics that seem to work best for me.

Yea no broadside. It's like a black hole. Each time I try to turn away because those damned dds spot me, every bloody ship on the enemy team picks on me, more then when I was spotted nose in. And yes Radar cruisers are more of a prio target than A group of bbs that are closer.

But holy smokes. The one match I'm referencing to is the one where the Desmoin got railed. By seven Enemies. I got away barely but :cap_wander_2: never have I ever seen something so cursed as that. Sure broadside deletion nothing strange. But 160+ shells ala 30s and to just see it getting melted.

The question is how much time do you have to play and do you run premium, camos and flags? 

Yes i am using them, and I only play co-ops. At this moment I am 50000 XP from DM. I hope can obtain Moskva before the split

Ahh coop good luck. I managed to grind from shors to Moskva with Randoms in a time span of about 5-6 days. But each time I dared to use a 200% xp camo my team got fisted so I'd get the xp I would gain if I'd just would have under performed in 100% camo.such a waste. But Heyy RISK OF WEEKEND GRINDING.

That is true. I am only trying to obtain that ship before the split. I am far to be a good players but I would like to have that ship just in case a became a average player  Thanks for the advice.

Wow, that's some grind right there. No point in suggesting you get the LM then, it would take 1,000 coop battles. :cap_fainting:

The LM is lost at this moment. WG locked that option since last patching. Now only with resetting lines. In the case os Mosvka is obscure to me how to obtain its LM when it ill be in Armory.

 

By spending all cammos, flags , etc, I could obtain LM with 300 co-op battles, playing DD Grozovoi and Gearing each, but playing cruisers I found more challenging ( ohhh Chapy has been ...:cap_book:

Man, I appreciate your effort but hell, that's a lot of time wasted in Coops when you can do thai in Randoms in half the time.

Even leaving aside that there is very little to learn in Coop, 98% WR of very small gains, where with your premium, expensive camos and special flags you will only manage to just about break even, on top of the hours wasted, doesn't make any sense, IMO, but each to their own.

 

I rather the 50-60% in randoms to be honest, where even a defeat with a 200% camo should net you a lot more than a victory in Coop.

Moskva can be very potent especially at the late game. Because of its tankyness. But it also has some weaknesses:

Worst Concelament of all CA

Sluggish and bad turning Circle

Takes huge damage when its broadside - big citadel

 

Those 3 things makes it necessary that Moskva should not go alone on a flank or bow tank with no BBs near, you will get focused by enemy BBs and long range HE Cruisers. Sure you can tank alot but its still a cruiser and you get huge damage because of the big superstructure and the size of the ship.

Moskva in my opinion is one of the best supporting cruisers - it should always be near 1 or 2 Tier X BB's and support them it has some nice specialities:

12km radar / hydro to detect enemy DDs and torps

extremely accurate guns with 21km range when the legendary module is equipped

one of the best AP Penetrations at long range - it can citadel Cruisers like Hindenburg at 15-16km range

big health pool for a CA

 

I see a lot of players that bow tank Moskva near islands -in my opinion its better suited to make a pushes with 2 BBs , a flanking Cruiser and a DD - during the push it should stay near the BBs and support them with radar and hydro.

Well, you might try random.

I did it in random with the range module still missing, with a 8 point captain + concealment module.

Don't forget to use a camo and flags that will give you free XP bonus as well.

I'm 55 k in DM Donskoy (i'm missing the second hull and i'm with a 11 points captain) and i will start in random with it.

I have 95k of free XP on the side, to use it if i'll need it.

 

In this moment i'm rushing for coal, so i'm playing other ships other than DM Donskoy, all of them have flags and camo that will give free xp along with xp, commander xp and so on.

Papa Papa signals + camo make around 333% + 100%

 I have not enough experience for playing randoms.  Perhaps I give a try. Thanks.
