Tier 7 Gems For Narai?

Can't argue with Fiji, for a good long while she was my only T7. Nelson is lots of fun and very useful (although can always use a speed flag), given that if you keep front-towards-enemy at all times the turrets never have to swing very far and the guns are nice and punchy; Duke of York is much more disappointing though (not recommended).

 

...But then, I don't have many T7 ships, so can't really comment much past that (ARP Myoko is ok, then that's me out). As usual, I personally wouldn't advise destroyers; although Skåne has quick-firing torps (which would potentially be really useful for the mêlée at the end), I can only imagine they're the same fart-in-a-hurricane weakness as her predecessors and I hear she's not even that fast. At least she doesn't have smoke either

 

For my own personal edification, could I ask people's opinions of New Orleans, Algerie and Hood for the job?

NO and Algerie are pretty good, prob Algerie more useful due to torps. I dont have Hood but I imagine it ll be fine as it is a good ship

Sinop now fully upgraded. The extra rudder speed on that improved hull is really nice. Really powerful ship, thanks for the tip.

 

In it's first mission in full spec the team totally ignored the aircraft carrier so I had to give chase and obviously that meant having to deal with a rather dangerous torp spamming DD and cruiser but that rudder shift was very crucial and the HE shells pre-loaded in anticipation of the DD encounter took it out first time of asking thankfully which meant I neither had to risk eating any more torps from that DD along with being in a position to switch back to AP for that big beautiful broadsiding CV.

 

The CV's cruiser escort turned at me to a tricky bow on orientation but maybe it's a Russian thing but it still citadeled that cruiser even through the front lol.

 

This accidentally turned into rather nice discovery location that you guys can use if you didn't know already. Take a look at my position on the minimap. After dealing with that CV and escorts I could somewhat quickly move to this position and so long as a teammate was spotting targets I could hail bombs in on them, most of which were somewhat broadside at one point or another. 325k dmg? That'll do very nice indeed though most was from earlier fighting and hitting citadels on Misu then CV and cruisers etc. Still, a nice location, especially for a weak hulled cruiser I'd imagine(aka my new Shchors!!)

This ship surprised me. It is pretty decent with the heal and good guns :)

Surrey’s my favourite Brit Heavy, mines specced for AA given it meets T6 and T8 cvs, a lot, it’s more consistent damage wise than my fave cruiser; Prinz Eugen but unlike that ship armours a joke, Surrey’s worst aspect is the range, 14.8 is pathetic.

Hood is very useful, especially at torpedoing the Missouri...with herself

Secondaries are still bad, but you can target Gallant for example and be confident they'll be able to kill it even if no-one else is shooting her.

I really like Hood's secondaries. Compared to Nelson and KGV they seem to do a lot more... probably just the increased RoF, but it means they always set at least one fire and they are effective against DDs. Fat Nelse's secondaries never seem to do anything at all....

[Yedwy]

Sinop is really accurate and a beast but Gneise/Sharn are most fun BBs with those crazy secs esp the former... ^^

 

Lolanta is fun as well

[creamgravy]

Mahan B-hull is a gem for PvE. You can pump out a reliable 300k on Narai.

 

I miss Ultimate Frontier... 

 

Also keep forgetting how crazy good Phoenix and yolo Nic are, they can easily wipe out several half decent players.

I only know 3 on t7 .

 

 

 

Shchors

Helena

Gneisenau 

 

I did see other ships doing well, but from what I have, these are what I'll bring to Narai every time. And these are the ships I recommend for the job.

This is Lazo / Shchors ( or any very damaged bb/ cruisrer) position = fragile ships. Sure Sinop can work also, but is a waste of potential.

Sinop is a floating bunker at T7,  I advise you to keep advancing after killing the cv and escorts and park your tank right on that "neck" from where the cv show-up, and advancing trough the bots spawn point on

"border sliding mode" ( :p ) .

Like that , you catch ALL bots fully broadside, you are decent angled, and you can blast them with dev. strikes from that sweet range Sinop loves to kill : 8-9 Km.

Most important, you cover the entire harbor,  ( in your chosen position you have dead angles, out of reach) - but most important if the team fail dangerous close to a defeat, ( and that ALWAYS happen, sooner or later ) so you can jump-in and save the day in just seconds.

Fiji is total Narai-monster :), PS: IMHO one of the best ships in the game...

 

[SEN_SEN_Channel_Portugue]

True, fully agree, but what you post here is from "pre-nerf" stage, right ?

Right now you cannot breach the 300k barrier with a Fiji, for such great result,  sadly...

I did some 255 k in a Flint, 14 kills, 5 stars Op, and  I got just a bit more than 350k  credits....

Nothing beats the good old 40k FXP Dynamo games in the Sims. R.I.P. Sims.

Narai is still profitable... IF you pack more flags. Before there was limit of 8 signals. So it's a signals drain.

 

As for the ships... depends on your task.

If your task are the transports, then Atlanta is the best pick. Other cruisers still work.

 

If you go for the CV then Fiji is the king.

 

Basically any premium ship with premium account + daily bonus + signals and camo is the key. I am playing Atlanta, Belfast and Sharnhorst and rotate between them.

[SEN_SEN_Channel_Portugue]

Is just me or the devs nerfed also the repair speed ?  Now you get only some 80-90 HP /sec in repair circle.... Wasn't that a bit more before ?....

I think Premium ships are still the better option, credits wise - Atlanta, Flint, Ashitaka, Nelson, even Lazo - will give you that "extra" 100-200k of credits...

Dd.s, not so much, they are not great on this Op. - you need a bit of tanking, tough... 

[matkanjohtaja]

Still decent but you need questionable team.

If you look at that Screenshot wisely you see 01.05.2020. Seems like not Prenerf ;)

If I'm not grinding anything in particular, I usually focus on things with a heal, and things that can step in to other 'roles' as I usually play entirely random, and you can usually rely on someone to potate in spectacular fashion and their job will need doing. Premiums are good for the extra earnings, especially since the returns got nerfed.

• Boise (NdJ is the same ship, but you're less likely to have a decent captain for her): excellent heal, and high volume of fire; lacks torps, of course, but the guns make you excellent for scragging anything that isn't heavily armoured. I haven't tried her since the IFHE changes though.
• Scharn: it's almost as if Narai was built for this ship; high (for a BB) volumes of fire and anything you can't penetrate will probably be within torp range fairly soon; you're also fast and (almost) nimble enough to step into the cruiser role when your team-mates embrace the tuber.
• Ashitaka (with Kobayashi cammo): since the buffs it got a while ago, this is a pretty decent BB for Narai; if you have the cammo, it makes your earnings substantially better (if you lack the cammo, there are better choices).
• Nelson: great heal, and having the ludicrous HE means you're effective against any target in the Op; all the guns firing (sort of) forwards is nice, but you need to carefully avoid getting your citadel hit - it's the size of a modest continent.
• Premium Myoko clones: although these lack a heal, they're still pretty decent, if played with care; if you husband your hp, you can have a significant impact, and do it with a premium economy.

As with the T6 Ops, I don't usually take DDs, due to the lack of heal, but I think I may try the new T7 Ikea when I have a minute and see if that works okay...

My bad, true; but how many special flags you added ? You have way too many credits.... I run the 20% more credits camo, the flag with another  20% ( and that's all my buffs for credits..)   and I never reached over 350-380 with near damage ( 347 k my best, in Ashitaka) ...

[Marblehead_1]

I think most of TVII will be good at Narai. My favourites:

 

BB's: Nelson, Sinop, Ashitaka ( with Kobayashi camo is awsome money maker ) - you can't do bad choice with them

CA's/CL's: Atlanta, Flint, Helena, Boise/Nueve de Julio, Zara/Gorizia,  I do not used Fiji in this mode or I do not remember her so I had no opinion about her.

DD's Błyskawica - good at eliminating transports and fighting enemy DD's, ok torps.

Thats not my Screenshot, but wait Maybe i have an actual one…. 

I mounted the Spring Camo, and all the Flags to improve FreeXp just for testing

[Kruzenstern]

The best BBs are hands down SinOP and Lyon, the only ones where I can get 300K+ damage.

 

The italian cruisers are pretty fun if you go for the Transports, the SAP just murders them. And of course it is helpful that you also murder DDs pretty quickly. No doubt Fiji is better though.
