"10km torpedoes and 10km radar tempt her captains to play Constellation like a cruiser. She is not a cruiser.". A ;iightly armoured BC getting into brawling range is iikely to end badly .

Just faced two in my Assa, sent one to davy jones locker. But it was wall to wall radar around the cap on hotspot thanks to these two. Just think, you can learn to DD at tier 6 facing all the air and sea based detection mechanics in this game situated at tier 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SUOLA] arttuperkunas Players 1,963 posts 10,936 battles Report post #19 Posted July 2, 2021 So this BB has longer range radar than equivalent US cruisers at its tiers? Edit: looked at the wiki entry - under "alternative opinion" for how to play the ship: "Constellation is a ship best played at short to medium range. Although she is capable of slugging it out at longer ranges, players will likely find that in Random Battles she is more fun if played as a brawler, similar to Tirpitz." Has BoW been editing the wiki? Who would play a 27mm battleship with laughable broadside armor at close range? Everything about this ship except maybe the radar screams "kiting backline sniper": -Fast -Weak plating and citadel armor -Gun orientation that favours kiting (at least according to the wiki) -Stern launched torpedoes -Great accuracy The radar leaves me wondering though. Maybe it's the perfect BBaby sniper tool, to remove the last threat, i.e. back line stalking enemy DDs torping the snipers? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
