The Ship that feels like it is created just for you...

After many battles with every kind / tier / type of ship (older account had twice the matches this one has)...

I clearly feel that there's something about the Republique that feels... Right for me.

Just fitting to my playstyle, aiming habits etc.

 

It is a joy to play and I feel like home all day long while playing it.

Fast, mobile, hard hitting, forgiving to a degree. Fast shells. Nice arcs (kinda)

Quick reload... Somewhat tanky with the correct setup.

Even secs work when the situation comes to it.

5-6 win streaks are just the norm with it, topping the team in many of them. 

 

"Daring" and "F.Sherman" are close contenders.

 

Which are your go to ships and why?

Weirdly, the Republique was my most cursed ship for a long long time. It was a ship i just couldnt get wins in.

 

I enjoy playing it a lot more lately though and the curse seems to have lifted somewhat.

Brutal from day 1 and with over 90% WR for me the most reliant ship I have ever played.

Interesting question ...

 

As a cruiser main the ships i feel at home and enjoy most for a relaxed ride are midtier cruisers.

 

Königsberg

Nürnberg

Makarov

Furutaka (dont know why ... ^^)

 

I always use them to train new captains

Harekaze, as having everything best from all worlds. And the limitations are just lovely quirks. I think I'm in love :)

Haven't played it in a while as i am grinding my way up the tech tree, but Wickes and Clemson are the ships where Wows really clicked for me.

Mainz. A fast firing CL like Cleveland, but with actual fast shells and flat shell arcs just fits with me. Aiming is much more comfortable and I really like the fact that it actually favors a lot just melting pretty much anything with AP if anyone does the mistake of showing broadside for a few seconds instead of the usual just hoping for fires and waiting things to slowly burn down of pure HE spammers.

I don´t have one favorite ship. I need some change.

 

But I have never given up on Tulsa, even though I am not really successful with her. I believe she is a bit underpowered and hard to play. I cannot even decide what modules to fit. I have no other ship I have switched the config this often.

Still the Tulsa is my most played ship. Maybe it is because I like close combat. She also looks very good.

That's because its a broken POS lol. :Smile_veryhappy:

 

For me it's Napoli. I haven't played her much, but she's brilliant.

For me, I suppose the first ship that came into my mind was...

 

 

 

 

Being somewhat of a weeb, it's not surprising that many of my other favourites are also IJN ships, like Musashi, Nagato, Asashio, HSF Harekaze..

Ensign by @fugetsu :Smile_honoring:

 

:cap_hmm: I could probably expand that list, certainly to include Mikasa (if only there was more reason to play t2/shorter queues) and Kongou/Kongô however you want it spelled (Kongoo?).  Cruisers.. more likely Tenryû/Kuma, and then Aoba. High tiers.. not so much.

 

Other nations, it's mostly about the BB's.... but some DD's, too, most notably the Swedish line up.

Colbert :cap_rambo:

 

By far the most addictive ship I have right now: she's my most-played ship in Ranked and my most-played non-BB in Randoms.

 

Even if I make a mistake and sink early, a few seconds with that DPM are so satisfying I won't be mad about it :Smile_Default:

I love how she's all about "setting up the fight", in terms of distance, islands (I never play with a smoke DD), isolating a 1v1 and finding a target whose turrets are pointed elsewhere.

Very unforgiving, but also very rewarding. She's the the first RB ship I recommend getting.

 

Other favorites are Ibuki, Oland, Blyskawica, Dunkerque & Jean Bart, Marceau, Salem, Napoli and Dead-Eye Shikishima. And Fuso.

tough one...used to be Fiji but since the nerf it feels like not her.. if you know what i mean.

Eddy or Exeter still favorites along with Abruzzi.

 

Trying different things at mo to stem boredom. Flint feels promising but that 12 klm range is not kind in the current environment especially when up tired. Have a feeling im late to the party on that one.

Asashio!

 

Stealthy sneaky ninja with devastating Powers. Not broken because its a one trick pony but that pony (DWP to BBs) is something out of depths of hell.

 

2 of my 3 Solo warriors is in Asashio and that isnt by chance.

 

To many Krakens and 150-200 K games to count

 

Spoiler

None, not one, Oh for sure I did for quite a while have a love for the Nelson, just another faded relationship now, once had a love affair with CV's again they all went west.

On topic though, any ship with decent firing range, North Carolina and Richelieu spring to mind, well it did before disconnects and server connection problems reared their ugly head, quite enjoyed subs a bit but they will soon get the nerfbat:Smile_veryhappy:

Well, NC was a very good ship at least some years ago, I have no recent experience with it, though.
