Jinan ....Daaaamn!

[OldschoolGaming_YouTube]

Just ran into a Jinan and daaaamn that girl can spew out deep water torp soups. Just saw one T10 BB after another getting struck torp after torp with perma floods. This ship makes the Asashio look like a turd. So many DWT with a Torp reload booster and it can fire spam from smoke?

 

 

Not surprised he ended up first on the winning team.

Its pretty much the fore shadowing of the Kitakami ...... or maybe the four horsemen...... Its the upcoming T10 Pan asian cruiser that has 4x5 DW torp launchers (I think) with great damage and flood chance, long range and a torpedo reload booster which pretty much makes this ship what would come if a Asashio and a Smolensk had a baby. It makes the Asashio seem kind of Meeh.

I was on the same flank and the DWT soups just came wave after wave. And the T10 BBs just sank and sank. Think they hit cruisers as well but I used the 19 km range of my Nevsky.

 

Guessing its WGs way to test the water for Kitakami and other broken crap they will release in the future. Just saw Flambass Condo video where he dev strikes Shikashimas left and right with one reload salvo. Also a "balanced" ship....

WG continue to make low tiers great again.

It's the only sane option after all.

fun fact

He devstruck broadside bots. Aka he devstruck ships without even helmed by captains. 

At that point, Tiger 59 would seem OP

 

There is this fine line between potential and practicality, which our friend flambino, seems to have forgotten about

I am sure you can replicate that with a ... say Zao ?

[Mad_Dog_Dante]

O wait its a supership?

No, it's a Silver ship. Tech Tree Tier X Pan Asian cruiser. Everyone can have one. 

 

Edit: FWIW, the torps should be balanced like Asashio, rather than Yue Yang. BBs and CVs only. That would allow other cruisers - especially radar cruisers - to have a counter play role. 

Edit Edit: It might also make Vigilance and the Torpedo Detection Module great again. The problem with those DWTs is their detection range.

No it's a light cruiser like Austin

 

 

[Itwastuesday]

Meh? Zao has 4x5 nippon lances to 12 km. Jinan seems to have 4x5 dwt to 13.5

 

Can you torp Thunderer with 13.5km? I don't play 20km shima only because it's funny you know.

It's an Austin cosplaying as a T10 Irian.

You actually think players are better then the bots? Have you played in a while? BB players showing broadside to ships that can blapp them happens 4-5 times every T10 game.

they actually do one thing right

Shoot at the ship that threatens them the most. Conde will probably be exactly where, it was first seen in PT. Taking flanking opportunities and ambushes, and dying if it gets hit. It won't be able to get so close to super BBs and devstrike it out of water, but yes, it will devstrike the occasional cruiser.

Its strong but its not broken

Just another reason to avoid the insanity that is T10.

1. Sprinkle new ships into random games, call it "supertest" and create hype 

 

2. Nerf said ships to the ground one minute before release.

 

3. $$

Or...

 

Introduce new ships into random games

 

Watch community create "OP!" panic over YouTube video of the one occasion where the ship is powerful (usually where testers have formed a division)

 

React to community panic by over-balancing ships

 

Release ships and see wider community make snap judgment that the new line is TRASH! Hard Pass from me! Wallet Closed! (etc)

You mean like Dutch cruisers that take more skill than people gave credit in advance, because "aircraft panic" even if any ship with torps and stronger guns is easier to carry with?

I can understand disappointment that a line is in some way weaker than needed in gun gameplay, just because of gimmicks. Otoh some are just insane in the other direction. Austin and some other spammers for instance can do insane gun damage or fire damage.

 

May I presume these pan-Asian cruisers have pretty weak armour though so they're a sort of glass cannons?

Glass Cannon would imply that they pump out huge ammounts of dmg.... either by alpha or ROF. 

 

I assume this is "Fletcher --- the cruiser line" gameplay wise: Drop Torps, hope for a hit or two with flooding, pop smoke and hope to get perma-fires going. 

 

Austin doesnt operate this way... it usually cant. 

For me/my playstyle Austin is Fat-Kleber. Manouver to ambush an unaware ship and hope to brrrrrt it down before it has time to react.
