Is Marco Polo a good ship now?

[ARE_YOU_HUMAN]

after the sigma buff?

[Ocsimano18]

Marco had 49.38% WR last week, while Georgia had 54.04, Jean-Bart had 54.74.

Marco improved her stats from 47 something %, but far from being good.

I think I will get this ship instead of Pommern

[Pururut]

It is a 406mm Roma without Romas concealment. I would pass.

When did she got a sigma buff, and what is it now?

Roma's guns work tho. People say that marco polo's don't. If it was basically a roma I'd take it.

Sigma is 1.9 since 10.10, saw a video saying it has made the ship much better to play because of it, kind of tempted but still not sure if the buff is enough that much coal on her

[Aragathor]

I wouldn't touch MP with a 10 foot pole. The 36s reload on 9x 406mm guns kills the ship for me.

I'm better off in an Iowa, and that ship is not known for good performance.

Crazy spending coal on the MP.

Better that than actual money to be fair.

 

Also tbh I kind of like the Polo, not played her since the sigma buff though.

Just dont. 

0,1 Sigma buff wont make this ship good. 

It has just too many flaws (besides the frustrating guns)

 

- Bad concealment

- Bad range.

- Easy to citadel. 

- Sluggish. 

- Bad reload. 

 

Get Lepanto, its overall a way better ship and more fun, too. 

 

Why dont get Kearsarge? Seems to me the best option of the 3 (im still missing 20k coal tho).

I got her. Think I'll get the Pommern then.

Far from being good, the buff hardly does anything. Regretting spending the coal on this garbage ship. Hopefully some future buff's can still lift it out of it's grave.

Since when is iowa considered to not be good?

Well, they work if they hit. My experience in the Roma is that of a 9 gun salvo - 5 go short, 3 sail over into the next map and the final shell (deciding to actually operate within the job description of a shell) will actually hit. Then overpen, bounce or be sucked into a cosmic black hole. 

 

If Marco Polo is anything similar then it would be a very frustrating way to spend a decent chunk of coal. 

 

Get Napoli instead and SAP-secondary-meme your way through games. It remains very funny.

I was genuinely surprised by how good roma's guns were when I got her. Everybody and their mother said they were bad, but I found them quite accurate. Idk what's up with that.

They can nerf Napoli at any minute. I'm actually a bit sad for getting the Kearsarge. Wg can murder these new ships at any minute.

In my experience Roma shines when its in a T10 Match. Its hilarious how good this ship becomes. 

But being in a T6 match with her is just pain. 

Its a strange world Roma lives in....

I would say that Napoli isn't overly popular in terms of raw numbers in the way the Thunderer or Smolensk were. Even the Kearsage (aside from the first few days after release) isn't exactly in every match going. Both rely on having a rough idea what you're doing to return decent damage numbers.

 

Thus I don't think you'll see nerfs anytime soon to them - they aren't 'problem' ships in the same way other super-popular/super-powerful coal ships have been. There's no reason to think they'll get the nerf bat more than any other ship in the game. 

 

Glad to be proven wrong but I think the 'worst' that could happen to them is being removed from sale if they start filling up the rosters too much. That isn't the case.

Removal would be the option if they weren't in the *if deemed necessary blah blah* category. In case of a Kearsarge nerf they can yeet its reload time to 40 sec or nerf the rocket planes very hard. Same goes for Napoli.

[ARE_YOU_HUMAN]

Superstructure hit from the Kearsarge guns can really screw pushing german bbs. I've done this many time. I was chunking 15-18k(ap) per volley

No your right, free is free, but over the pommern? That's a hard sell. 

 

Especially when you take into account game modes like ranked. Any secondries spec ship (Germans ones even more so) is going to do well with small teams because your basically bringing a extra crusier to battle and it doesnt take long to get into range with small maps.

 

If left unchecked a pommern can totally wipe out a whole side on its own. 

 

The biggest thing that let's it down is the players playing it in random who think they should just push right from the beginning.  some dont even know about manually clinking the enemy ship to get them working properly. 

 

The Napoli is a great fun ship and incredibly tanky, I mean really tanky but its just one of those ships that I just can't click with which is strange as secondries crusier I thought would be right up my street! That as well as getting really bad teams which doesn't help.

 

The ragnar is another and I swear I'm cursed in that thing. Great damage, great kills, grabbing caps but the team just ends up dying like clowns and undoing all your good work. Only had a few games in both but they are both good ships in their own way and worth it. 

 

Unlike ships ike the Ohio which I loved right from the start and can't seem to loose in it
