Agincourt Impressions

Anyone else got the Agincourt? What are your impressions?

For me armor is what'd expect from a dreadnought with the guns being a shotgun with a scope.

 

But its a joy to play and is a historical ship.

My impression of Agincourt consists of going to Glastonbury Festival on a wet year and having my mates shoot at me with arrows.

Don't forget puddles of mud and funny shaped shoes!

For me she is a ship that should have been Tier IV.

Like a other famous BB in the European line? Both should be lowered again!

I mean she rewards going in close so that's nice. She's historical

But armor can be weird at times

Also the AP shells are dreadful. Even worse than Oklahoma which has less pen than 305mm guns ffs.

I thought maybe the improved pin angles compensate for this ship since it was advertised originally and no devblog stated that it was removed, and volia its gone

And she cost me 40k dubs which got the ship, a crap ton of flags and a vomit of camos, and some 1.2 M credits which is nice but not worth the dubs I spent. Thankfully I have quite a lot, so I won't be running out anytime soon, but once I run out, then screw WoWs coz Imma outta here

Atm, just play Konig. 600m less range, but they are good nonetheless. Also way tankier, and is slightly faster. Agincourt has concealment but even her HE deals like 3 k per salvo if shatters and misses are taken into account. I would play her if she had a bit more pin and pin angles

Bought 7 boxes and get her ( maybe coincidence but it's price comparable to TV premium battleship ) I bought her only due to being one of memes of shipbuilding industry and I do not expect anything from her. I probably build her around memical secondary and drive few coops.

 

Now WG Yawuz Sultan Selim please.

 

EDIT. Tried coop on her. HE only with yolo on cruisers. One shot one kill and HE's looks promising.

I just wasted all of my horded doubloons on boxes, (more than 7!) and got [edited]all except flags, coal and free XP.

 

That's my one and only foray into the world of loot boxes done and dusted.... what a load of crap.

Bought a couple of boxes last night and got her on the 2nd RNG must love me for a change lol.

 

Only 2 battles, first one was spent in Cyclone @ 8 km trying to find someone to shoot lol but 2nd match did 102k damage and the secondary spec seems to work very well, armour seems to holding up well, the ice breakers seems to enable  you to tank quite well.

 

Also congratulations to the art department, shes a beautiful modeled ship.

 

Stay safe and see you all out there.

 

Regards SKWK

Hi Captain, you can obtain Agincourt through Battle of the Jutland containers. You can get the containers for free by playing the Battle of the Beast event (up to 2) or in exchange for doubloons in the Armory.  Screenshot 2021-05-21 101458.png

knowing how wg/lesta treats their customers i would not be surprised if those 2 free containers would have a bit lower drop rate of these 2 ships

Nope is very strong a little op

Doubtful.

Even if that were the case, it is because WG made her that way.

 

She is a pre WWI design, with a lot of drawbacks. Tier IV would be more fitting.

You've missed my post above where I just dropped an obscene amount of doubloons to not get Agincourt.

I'm a whale, but even I have limits - this is just a pisstake.

Currently, the Agincourt is available only through those containers. There is a good chance that she will become available in our shop in the future, though. 😊

Well, look at it this way. When Christmas rolls around and WG are selling their shiny loot boxes and you hear the sirens in your head, "maybe just ten, I could get Benham, ok, maybe ten more", remember this moment. You spent hoarder doubloons, but saved so much future money. I call that a win.
