Kremlin: Best tactics and play for this BB.

[The_Angry_Admiral]

This thread is dedicated to the best builds and tactics with the Kremlin. 

 

I believe a combination of long and medium range in this ship, and most BB's, works because it is less dependent on teammates who may not always be there to help you. Yes the ship has good armour but it can't stop everything and it's not the quickest when needing to escape. 

 

If you have a cruiser or a DD with hydro near you then it does help but if they aren't around you could end up in a world of trouble. This ship is much better when you have smaller teams such as in ranked but it can be more difficult in random battles, especially with ships who spam HE. 

 

This thread is here for people who wish to discuss these things in a constructive manner and not instantly shutting anyone down just because of your stats. If you can't do that then please don't post in this thread. Please post your Kremlin builds and replays if you wish to discuss them.

I'll just see myself out.

[GarrusBrutus]

Kremlin should be played as either a speedbump (Force enemies to throw way too much resources at you to kill you, gifting your friendlies time to flank them.) or a Storm ram (Force enemies to leave their positions or get wrecked because they can't burn you down quick enough). Neither can be done effectively from long range.

Try in here, theres threads.

Also, google. theres plenty of vids out there. afterall, google is your friend.

Generic survivability build and gameplay really. It's not a particularly unique ship in the first place.

[Bear__Necessities]

You were previously offered advice on this ship. You rubbished everyone who gave it. I don't expect this to go far. But who knows...

 

Kremlin is not a BB designed for long range. It does not excel at long range and should NOT be set up for long range. If you cannot get past this concept. All other advice will be pointless. So, it's on you to decide if you want to play it to it's strengths or keep failing at trying to make it something it isn't.

Dear @The_Angry_Admiral Kremlins is build to short and medium range and it is build to tank other ships shelles except HE spamming and it is actually it´s meme except for the Slava that is build for long range snipping. And you wont be alone if you use the mini map aka map awareness and i have the Kremlin and i love this BB to death.

Do you think Kremlin is better or worse than other TX BBs in dealing with HE spammers ? Iirc the Kremlin is not as "soft" as some other TX BBs, though she does have a limited number of the DCP consumable.

I do think it is a little bit worse than other BBs because it does not have unlimited DCP compaired to other BBs and thats why have have to be careful of when to use them or you will run out your DCP consumable

[Miragetank90]

Kremlin is a high survivability ship that shines brightest when it's part of the immediate action, either on defence or in a push. In either case, timing, positioning and situational awareness are vital to do well in her.  

 

If you want an effective long range ship there are much better options. You may get a nice salvo every other moon but its consistency and therefore effectiveness and contribution at that range drops considerably.

It's literally the worst place for a Kremlin and it's the worst long range fighter in terms of BBs. 

[mdjmcnally]

Different BB lines are intended to be played differently.   Same as different cruiser and dd lines.   No such thing as all BB in general setup the same way.

 

British BB line is great long range HE, though the AP should be used on broadsides.

German BB tend to be more close in Secondary Build, play a waiting game and use the map to plot way without too much exposure and then strong in the later stages,

American BB tend to be general and medium to long range for me.   The second line plays different,y with heavy hitting but slow reload poor manoeuvre capability so play differently.

Russian BB tend to be good in medium to close, NOT brawling where your broadside gets exposed as they tend to vulnerable on the sides.    Only long range Russian BB is the Slavs, others all medium to short range,

 

kremlin like the sov Soyuz doesn’t have the range mod as doesn’t make sense as intended for medium to short

 

It still tanks well even a thunderer and conqueror takes time to burn it down, unless can get AP into its broadside.most of the nerfs were to its AA.   Gotta keep the CV player happy.

Against better judgement, I'll try to help again. The Russian BB line is usually at its strongest at medium ranges and rather inconsistent at long ranges. Note that right now no high tier Battleship can push hard in the first quarter of the match because you won't be able to sustain damage long enough for your team to support you in a meaningful way, so patience and picking your moments to push in is always a good habit to have. These Battleships can even hold their own at shorter ranges but do have a vulnerable citadel. Or so I'm told. I've had plenty of situations where enemy Kremlin's were complete broadside trolls and didn't take 1 cit at close broadside ranges. Probably me. I hear the citadel must be there somewhere.

 

Not all Battleship lines are built for long range play just because they are battleships. If you prefer long range BB play, pick one of the many other lines. Your team may not like it, but they will definitely not like it even more if you play your chosen battleship against it's role. Like long range sniping brawlers or yoloing snipers. No team likes them.

So why not post in the Battleship dedicated section of the forum? It's specifically there for exactly the purpose. Posting this here seems on par with claiming Kremlin is best played long range after being told it isn't in a locked, long winded thread earlier today. ^^

[Saltface]

you refute each and every piece of advice that has been given to you. You also try to hide behind stat-shaming as if your lack of experience is not a fact.

 

Look at the following graph, and tell us where you want to play the Kremlin.

I am not giving you suggestions. Just cold hard data. Facts.

 

Look at the red line and tell me now where the ship performs well.

He wants range mod so take a guess...

This tread will this end the same way as always.

Magazine Mod 1

Engine & Rudder

AA guns mod 1

Airstrike mod 1

Ship Consumables mod 1

Since you can't take Range Mod, leave the 6th slot empty as a form of civil disobedience.

As long as we have an actual discussion, we won't close this thread. In the threads we closed, there was no discussion. Only the TE denying all the answers he received.

1, watch the torpboats decide who wins the game.

2, kite away to glorious loss or push to win more based on the result of 1.
