[LICON] SirTogII Players 144 posts Report post #1 Posted January 25, 2021 Not sure I understand this one. Same tier and class but trading Torps and spotter plane for a heal, is that it? And another premium of same tier, class and playstyle for a line that doesn't even exist? Am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If by class you mean that both are cruisers then yes, they are the same class (of the ships). But if you mean as a cruiser class, then no they are not the same class. Perth is modify Leander class while Mysore is modernized Crown Colony (or if you prefer Fiji) class cruiser. Perth has 4x2 gun layout, while Mysore has 3x3 arrangement. Why is added? For Indian market/playerbase, as promised last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SHAD] Miscommunication_dept Players 5,512 posts 24,441 battles Report post #3 Posted January 25, 2021 It looks good to me. I would prefer Perth to self spotting, HE and torps but Perth is a very strong ship. I expect I'll buy it today as I have many doubloons. Mysore's main problem seems to be when battleships learn they can simply charge it's smoke. AP only and no torps mean a battleship can angle in and just charge. AP alpha will be lovely against destroyers and the heal is nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes I know they are different IRL, I meant more in Wows it's the same crawling smoke of doom kind of play. If you have one getting the other doesn't add much.

[ALONE] Smeggo Modder 2,485 posts 15,343 battles Report post #5 Posted January 25, 2021 I tested her a lot, as the idea of a smaller Fiji at tier 6 sounds nice - especially for operations. Unfortunately she lacks damage-per-minute and her unability to damage BBs (with her AP-only-guns and no torps) sometimes made me mad. Personal opinion: Not an unfun ship, but weaker than Leander or Perth and sometimes absolutely helpless. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention the Commander Skills rework, in which 10/24 skills don't work with her. Still, Royal Navy AP and crawling smoke is not to be sniffed at, it just feels like the ship needs another string to its bow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it Def AA in a separate slot then instead of being a self spotting, crawling smokescreen of HE spam (the Perth), it would be a crawling smokescreen of fly swatting 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personal opinion: Not an unfun ship, but weaker than Leander or Perth and sometimes absolutely helpless. A cut-down Fiji for T6 Ops sounds brilliant (I find myself hardly using torps in Ops most of the time), but if WG have failed to give her a decent DPM that's pretty tragic. Oh well, at least the wallet's safe with this one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #12 Posted January 25, 2021 Mysore is sounding distinctly non-essential to me, but one thing could save her: are there any pretty permaflage alternatives?

[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,855 battles Report post #19 Posted January 26, 2021 The Indian Tricolore from missions is an expendable camo for any ship, not a permanent one for Mysore.

[PEZ] Yedwy Players 11,301 posts 39,586 battles Report post #20 Posted January 26, 2021 Mysore should be compared to the "base ship of her type for tear" which would be Leander and not Perth (which is in itself an outcrop of Leander class), hence you exchange the torpedo tubes for well nothing really...

For Ops, I would suggest the crawling smoke is probably of more use than the more traditional type (and it runs for a good long time with the relevant coal mod fitted); that isn't completely irrelevant. I happily acknowledge that that's a pretty niche thing compared to the (free) Leander though. 38 minutes ago, invicta2012 said: The Indian Tricolore from missions is an expendable camo for any ship, not a permanent one for Mysore.

It's a pity there isn't a more interesting permaflage for Mysore; perhaps WG can come up with something featuring a suitably 'Indian' aesthetic in future? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Embrace the acceleration mod, too. Part of the fun of crawling smoke is the ability to reposition. You shouldn't really get caught (harsh lessons learned in Huang He - it has torps, but they're not stopping an oncoming Tirpitz....) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
