Yeah... I am ready for the Khaba and I will be freeXP-ing the FdG - no way I am going to experience that.

uhm patch 0.11.0. drops on January 20th, so with the usual 4 weeks running time for an update 0.11.1 should come February 17th...

They could make it shorter as they made the current one longer.

from the dockyard:

Zitat

You can complete combat mission groups throughout the entire duration of Update 0.10.11 and during the first 3 weeks of Update 0.11.0.

so 0.11.0. should run at least 4 weeks...

FdG is far from a bad ship. Had some very solid battles with it. Like very, very solid. Those which I failed, were more my lack of skills than the ship's.

[callumwaw]

Yeah, the FdG isn't a bad ship. Just spec it for secondaries. Its main guns are very inaccurate of course.

Full secondary build isnt good. Because you should use reload mod in the 3m slot combined with 406 guns. That gives FdG a 22.9 second base reload and even faster with adrenaline rush. Imo its a nobrainer, why buff 1/5 of your damage when you can buff the source for 4/5 instead ? The trick on this ship is too shoot as often as possible, that makes up for the mediocre accuracy.

I still use a semi secondary build on it. But reload mod, 406 guns and fire prevention skill are the most important things to have. This FdG even holds my personal T9 dmg record over Musashi.

420 full secondary FdG = One of the worst T9s
406 reload mod = Really good

Its hilarious to see how many people are totally hyped about getting GKF and Khaba unlocked before they are moved to coal section, all I can say is hat off for the marketing dept that makes people grind their as*es off for months, spend their dragon flag stock or even worse money on getting 2 utterly useless pos port queens…

I’m grinding the Khaba. Just finished the Kiev which was a joy to play. I’ve heard Tashkent is a nice ship, too. I’ve burned dragon flags only with 100-200% first win bonus, giving me additional commander and free XP. I don’t know about Khaba (last month she was well above 50% WR-wisee), but even if she turns out to be an useless port queen, the grind is quite enjoyable.

[Varian_Dorn]

Looking forward to the switch. Got some free xp ready to go for both techlines, along the credits for purchase. 2 more T10 ships, good stuff.

I was struggling with Khaba line, only recently got to terms with Tashkent and started to actually enjoy it. Now I grind her for new tier X and it goes smooth.

German BB line was a blast  maybe apart from Gneisenau  - I had good results but these  inaccurate guns are frustrating But both Bismarck and FdG are a joy to play, now also grinding for new tier X.

Even if Khaba and GK won't agree with me, the grind itself was worth it.

Most of the few Khabas i ve seen lately were played quite well. I think that mostly decent players take her out these days just for the sake of playing it. But yeah, as long there is Kleber, Khaba in its current state is just sad.

This, Kaba is currently just a pos, worse then Tashkient, played only by very small and much better then average group of players.

 

[Lord0]

Free xpd them both. Felt like a slut. Don't shame me

[Duecut]

Took me 3 weeks to grind the khaba line, really didn’t enjoy it, Tashkent was accepted but the ones before that were a major pain in the butt.

 

Not played the khaba in randoms yet think as that really stupid given I’ll be able to put a commander on it for free in a month, so I’m not wasting cmdrXP/fXP putting a commander on the ship. (Played it in coop to knock off the snowflake)

I FXP to Khaba because I couldnt take the lower tier DDs (and I intent to reset the line anyway, more expensive that IJN Gunboat but not substantially so). GK I unlocked playing FdG normally since when the news come I was already on Bismarck so it was a normal grind, still playing FdG for the replacement.

 

Its still a couple of T10 coal ships for XP, Khaba even if FXP the entire line will cost less that a T9 XP ship.

That's personal preference. Khaba is my most played ship. I am not good with it but I enjoy it a lot. As for the GK, I am still undecided. If I get enough FXP before the patch then maybe.

[Scavengerxx70]

Hello I am bit confused now. I sold my GK according to some forums. 

My question is: 

 

1. I will get back the GK as premium without any additonal grinding or coal, and does not recieve the compensation of 10mio?

2. I have to buy the GK as Coal ship and get only the 10mio compensation?

3. I should buy back the GK at all costs?

 

Thank you for your advice in advance.

If you researched it, you will get it. Doesn't matter if you bought it, sold it, reset line ... If you don't have it in the port you will not get any additional compensations. If you have it you will get 50% of credits required to buy it (basically same amount of credits if you are selling it).

Inaccurate is no word for that ... a shotgun is a precision weapon against them

And yet she was one of the most accurate battleships for me, only Georgia scored higher hitrate %wise 

 

Fix her firing arcs to be in line with Bismarck and she would be very enjoyable battlebote.

I skilled her for secondaries. Works fine for me ... Main guns are for Kids

It really depends on what you want it for. If you want to play in a really competitive spirit, getting very high damage numbers etc., then your build is probably better but...  but other BBs are even better at that, so why bother with the Germans? 

For me, the German line is all about fun and memes. Push, tank for the team, have fun watching your secondaries shred everything. Oftentimes, you die but if you've tanked 3 million damage and done 100k before you go down, you've done enough. Sure, you would have done 150k or 200 k in a Conqueror but you would be bored to death sitting in the rear sniping.  

 

So the bottom line is, while the game as it is these days discourages you from pushing, I find it more exciting so I go for secondaries. At 12 km, even your main guns hit things :) 

[Matium]

I think Khaba grind is a waste of game time , xp flags and camos. Why not make a Kleber instead or a Grozovoi and really get a good ship on a class that arguably influences the games the most.

GK on the other hand i think it is not a waste of said things because its a somewhat fun ship even if it is not the best ship to own matches. You can also make a secondary meme party i guess. Sure u can do that with Schlieffen also but you can transfer on a GK a high lvl commander from another ship just like that and get the ship going with full build. And you can also research a Schlieffen and meme all day with these two ships with your friends at tier X. I think GK is worth it....if you have friends
