[PL4F] Bratwurst_Bob Alpha Tester 183 posts 9,368 battles Report post #5 Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah, I concur. Such a nice ship and muchas gracias for the gift, but sadly it can't compete. Even worse when the St. Louis is in the enemy line-up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[WCBG] BrusilovX Beta Tester 2,838 posts 23,904 battles Report post #6 Posted August 2, 2015 The poor range and slow speed means that the enemy players can keep shooting you outside your own gun range and you can't close the range because they are faster than you ( so if they are smart they can keep outside of your own gun range), But it's free so the worst it can be is a port slot and some credits.

Bl4ckh0g Weekend Tester 1,668 posts 33 battles Report post #7 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) You can increase her gun's range with some Cap't skill, no? I mean, It might seem like a waste to put a LvL 17 Captain in her, but you will be seal-clubbing either way, Amirite?

[PORT] Atris2nd Beta Tester 333 posts 6,438 battles Report post #10 Posted August 2, 2015 Eh, I sold it and got the port slot. I love how it looks but it just isn't my style, it's kind of a horrible ship if you ask me. Guns are good but the range makes them unusable, atleast for the way I play.

Well, I put my cruiser captain which I share between my Atlanta (premium) and the cruiser I'm currently grinding (at the moment the Phoenix).so I have a decent enough captain there. The skill Advanced Firing Training (tier 4) gives 20% increase range. However, 20% onto 6.3km is 7.56km which is still not very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldramelech Beta Tester 1,753 posts Report post #16 Posted August 2, 2015 I'm a collector, so it's all good as far as I'm concerned. I even talked myself into buying that overpriced model kit so I could get the Diana, I got as far as the check out on the Italeri shop page and then realised they wanted ten euros to ship the damn thing which would make it 49 euros for a model kit I don't want and a T2 ship, not even I'm that stupid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
