I was having a thoughtful look through my port earlier and there wasn't a single thing where I thought "yay - that'll be a great pick on small maps with CVs about!".

 

If there weren't CVs, I would probably be pretty stoked about a T6 Clans season, but as it, nah.

 

Huanghe might be worth a go - creeping smoke and okayish AA in theory, or London (smoke and a heal), or *maybe* T-61, although I suspect that the latter would spend its entire time fleeing from CVs.

 

Beats me why WG couldn't have just gone with an odd tier on this occasion, to buy themselves some time to work out a practical fix for CVs on small maps; not feeling hugely enthused at this point...

I think Tier 5 or 7 would be better choices.. and I'm not even in a clan so I can't play these. :Smile_teethhappy:

 

Altho a tier 2 clan battle season could be oddly amusing too. Just for funzies of course.

No she is simply to weak, creeping smoke is nice but not enough to warrant taking her with only 6 guns, yes she can be entertaining but not a competitive ship...  Perth might be better choice with 8 guns and London even better due to heavy shells BUT few CLs/CAs with heal and long range all-penning gunnery of Nurnberg/Makarov twins are most likely to cover cruisers unless we get another DD IFHE stomp meta...

Graf Spee will be in the mix as a BB alternative, kind of proto-Stalin... thing... albeit with bad accuracy. It can overmatch CAs too, depending. 

 

For teams forgoing CV for BB PEF would probably be one of the strongest picks thanks to good armour, good speed and the ''best'' AA at tier 6.

So being clans resident CV player, the only question is do I go nerfed Ryujo or buy Ark Royal?

With ofc London/Leander/Dallas  and maybe a Gallant/icarus thrown in for single launch torpedo funzies.

Thanks weegee very cool

Indeed it is.

the sad part, they only remember t6 when they need testing or cannon fodder.

Nah, my top picks will be Bayern and Nurnberg they did a great job in t6 sprint.

Budyonny it's also top pick.

And i have other options too, even Ranger.(just kidding, but i could if i wanted to)

After all, we are talking about t6.

And perhaps Graf Spee will be in time to take part of the action (just more two or three days to get it if all is going accord to the plan).

Degrasse, London, Leander, Normandie and so on.

 

Regarding dds...

 

what's wrong with Farragut?

Yea, Fuso was a blast....pun intended.

Especially against cruisers. People would bring nuremburgs and budyonnys thinking they are safe from citadel lol.

Hey it might be a nostalgic experience for those of us who have been around for a while.

Party like it's 2016 and we all just bought shiny new Kutuzovs!

Whats with all the hate for the Huanghe it actually has almost T8 levels of Cruiser AA moving smoke really good concealment and Russian AP so is great at giving DDs close range support against other DD, Curisers and CVs...

The impression I get is that it's largely because much of the time Perth (or Leander) are usually better. The reason I thought it might be worth a lash is that - as you mention - the AA is pretty fearsome, based on a quick look through things in my port.

For me, the torps are a bit short ranged...?

The 7th season? Ofc, 2017. Times when Flambass and Flamu weren’t ccs. Played one game against Flambass and two with flamu that season. That season Huanghe was not around but Perth was.Cleveland behind rocks was the hammer and hatsuharu was popular due to the best detection. Also shino was in many games.

99% of players HATE CVs, yet WG is still pushing them forward.

 

Mind boggling....

Assuming this is what's going on; "Sales Dept. pushing for more sales based on the info received from Regional Mngs that majority of the player base don't care about cvs being in cbs and hence, will continue playing regardless. However, some top clan players are unhappy about cvs and although excluding this minority which keeps complaining is not the optimal option, rules can't be set for them alone."

I was expecting a comment like this.

 

No, only my observation from:

- forums

- reddit

- facebook

- my clan

- my friends

- chat in every single game

- team speak

- discord

- youtube

- twitch

- old Nan stories

Graf Spee might have some value, but it's just not consistent and unlike Stalingrad, it isn't going to just shatter or bounce most incoming shells.

 

PEF, imo, is not worth it. Speed it has, but Bayern gives better protection, with better guns and while you don't get as great a dps value, you actually get a fighter plane. Which at T6 is worth more than any AA.

 

Overall, if I had to come up with a lineup, I'd say, 1 CV, 3-4 Perths or Leanders, 2-3 Trentos. Potentially more Trentos, less of the others.

Looks like the old t8 competitive meta... Having flashbacks to Kots 1-3...finally we can sit and smoke shoot the whole time again with cvs on top of it. Lovely

 

Back to the roots, here we come

Ok, I see it now, 1 CV+6 Trentos, followed by WG nerfing Trento after the season.
