If you say so. Actually it allows good comparison since you can then compare how a crap cruiser player does in each category and see that it makes little difference.

A good comparison are the serverstats for all cruisers in each Tier.

Single players are not the benchmark to decide which ship is strong or not.

  • Cool 1
  • Bad 1

Got a few matches in them now, I could confidently make a small review of the line.

In short:

Agano is horrible.

Gokase is great.

Omono and Takahashi are mediocre.

Shimanto is decent and might be worth keeping. She's not as strong and fun as Mogami, but still fairly nice.

Yodo is decent but absolutely uninteresting and frustrating to play.

 

The line is disapointing and full of extremely questionable decisions, be it from a gameplay perspective, ship design or historical point of view (I don't think Japan would have ever built the tier 8 to 10, even if given the opportunity).

But I still think it receives too much hate, the line is better than many people say.

 

Maybe is it because these ships have a skill floor a bit too high for your average potato?

I did say that Gokase is great for example, but if you struggle being downtiered, forget about this ship. Learn how to survive first...

The problem is that even the most active player doesn't play enough games in a ship for it to be a worthwhile sample size statistically.

Agano is bad but I somehow enjoy playing it. You cannot carry, but every kill feels like an achievement. The speed and tier X torps are nice. And the ship looks really well.
