Druid/Vampire/Colbert/Slava/Yolo from RB?

[Itwastuesday]

Yolo is the most fun ship in the game when you have a good game. The frequency of those games can be low, tho. Also being T9 is pretty horrible nowdays.

Which one of Druid/Vampire/Colbert/Slava/Yolo to take from the research bureau? I already have Ohio/Siegried/Sevastopol.

 

The way i would look at it mate is what will give you a different playstyle to what you already have? That's my first tick on the list when to get a ship.

 

All the ones you have mentioned  there wouldn't give me a different playstyle, not enough to get it.  If i had to pick one of them it would be the Druid, only because of the guns up front and it has that lovely AP, but even that would be a push as I have the Daring with torps. But at least it would fit into my DD killing fun zone. 

 

Out of them and I know you say you wanna spend the RB, but I would keep hold of it or get the Druid. The druid is still doing very well in the stats and DDs are game winners. It's also not a tier 9 in a tier 11 game. 

 

Slava? 10 to a penny kinda ship

Colbert? Needs islands to live a sheltered life. Why anyone would get the colbert if they have the smolly is behind me. 

Vampire? Predictable 

Yolo? Meme ship with slow reload and a death sentence most of the time.

I have Paolo Yolo and Vampire 2. Plus Ohio. 

- Ohio is because I like US BBs, so that is my fav line to regrind. If needed in CB, I still have a fat US BB even when on regrind.

It is like a Montana, but with more overmatch... but also more overpen. Sometimes it is not so good, because of that.

- Paolo Yolo is just hilarious... though it cannot be expected to perform as a DD. At all. Can't do it. Unless all other DDs are dead.
But... did I mention it is hilarious? Even more hilarious... you can also torp that F Sherman.. and then steal his smoke and go dakka...

- Vampire 2... that is a good ship... but it is a variant on Daring. So if you have Daring? Like it?
Mind that you also need a captain and it is a Commonwealth ship. It is not Royal Navy. 

 

It depends on what you already have and what you like. 
If you like DDs... well gotta catch em all. If you like BBs... same...
If you like meme-botes... there can be only 1 choice...

Here, have a Colbert replay.

 

 

Please note that this thing is made of citadel where someone plastered wet toilet paper on, just enough to arm every AP grenade. This replay does not feature the really not uncommon devstrike with the colbert on the receiving end.

Don't get Druid or Colbert, we have too many of these, anyway.

 

Says someone with 440 games in her, being your 6th most played ship, but when i simply say she is fun you downvote me. Very hypocritical.

Colbert. 

 

Super Modern looking, very unique and really fun when odds are on your side.

Went for Druid. See her maiden voyage here:

She's a keeper.

Glad you enjoy it.

 

It's got limitations but if you can position well it farms beautfully!

[OldPappy]

Got Paolo. fun for memes and coop but the long reload, large dt range and being a one-trick-pony makes it hard/boring to play unless you hit that perfect mm for it and then it's a huge blast!!

 

Vampire II: Great ship. only downside is the lack of a heal.

 

Slava i am thinking about.. seems fun.

Sevastopol, no and similar Gibraltar no.

Colbert seems difficult to play as well, but i do like he spammers..:)

 

Let us know what you go for! :)

[Ocsimano18]

That's why it's worth it to choose the Druid:

 

[_Amr021IR]

My first RB ship was OHIO, a must ship even if u dont play BB at all amazing ship to have overall. Second was Colbert cuz I loved Marceau, third 100% Druid one of the best DD hunting ships in game, Short fuse AP british ofc ez captain swap with dozen choices diffrent builds for ranked/randoms. Vampire II remains which Im not a fan of, why u wanna play VampireII when daring exsist with short smoke+Heal?!!!! ITs an IQ test+ there is Z52/Fsherman to vibe check u in caps.The rest of the RB ships are either dogpoopo or trash. dont wast ur time grinding RB to get disappointed.

Because Vampire 2 is good, with heal she would have been OP. 

 

Just because you don't want or have the skill to play those ships, it doesn't mean they are bad.

Glad you went for it as that would have been my pick like I said. 

 

I had a clan mate which like others from our clan, moved onto the top competive clans (THROW in this case) and my god could he play the druid. Pleasure to watch and a great addition to any div (backed him up in a smolly most of the time). 

 

I would get it if it wasn't for the RB thing which I detest.

Not got Colbert yet, when we had Tier VIII Clan battles Bayard seemed very similar?, not got either, but may get both

 

I have both of them, Bayard - great and very fun ship, honestly I enjoy with him. Colbert - have him, but honestly I conclude that I need be more skilled for him (because of his range). 

 

EDIT: From RB I have also Ohio and Siegfried, and like them both.

Not knowing what you like I would say Vampire II, seems better than Druid but that is of course down to taste and preference. Vamp is my next buy.

Bah... torpedos. Just adds another layer of unneccessary complication, just like a rear turret and HE.
