atlanta in ranked? farms reports?

[Flukeyluke]

as the titel says is the atlanta really so bad that entering ranked earns you a report from teamates or was this just a one off case?

 

Never mind, it turns out after playing my 3rd game in it in ranked i have earned 4 reports

 

Dont pick the atlanta for ranked as people WILL report you

[Trigger_Happy_Dad]

Sadly, in like 95% of all cases it is really that bad in ranked, aye.

 

(although I wouldn't report an Atlanta player for using it in Ranked, that's silly imho)

[Hanszeehock]

I think it is a bit silly taking any T7 cruiser into ranked, but the Atlanta is pointless as it is so easy to kill. The Yorck follows close behind in my list of ships not to use in ranked.

[piet11111]

It hardly has any range so i can understand why they wont heap praise on any Atlanta joining ranked.

[Arakus]

In a game with many DD or a CV it is not so bad at all, but you need the range skill!

 

If you use it you must move all the time, driving in straight line even for a short time is dangerous for it.

When you are close enough to enemy DD it is deadly for them.

[TheFlyingScot]

I have seen Atlantas do well in ranked, they excel at DD hunting and you know atleast 1 DD is going to the cap points

How did you acquit yourself ?

 

Maybe the downvotes were for your performance rather than the ship.

 

P.S.: Ignore karma, makes things a lot easier.

If i see Atlanta in my team, i count it as -1 ship in team. Maybe if it had range to 15-16km then it would do something. Now its just ship to fool around in random. Even DDs with AFT skill are better... That BOAT is just floating target.

Maybe it is but wg give you the possibility to do so same like creating a tier 10 platoon with tier 4 and tier 6.

I think with more range, Atlantas would be even more useless. Imagine them sitting at 15-16km (and they WILL because "OMG Im so squishy") and trying to hit stuff with these shells. They already travel 14 seconds or so for the 13km range maximum it got now with the skill.

Atlantas CAN perform well...

...IF the player knows what he is doing

...IF the team setups are to your favour (CV+DDs)

...IF the map fits Atlantas gameplay

...IF the team will support it

 

...so many IFs that Atlanta is a burden in 9/10 games and to be honest, Atlanta wont be a survivor for long time. As soon as it gets spotted it will be picked because its inside of EVERYONES gunrange and it is easy to kill. Take some Tier7 DD, this will at least help a bit.

Well its not like Cleveland cant hit at a range of 17.5 km, though its not easy with the travel time but its quite possible to hit them if you aim properly. I do know Atlantas projectiles have a different travel time but it could shoot 15 km, i think it would manageable.

Fletcher has those Atlanta-shells and ca. 15km range. But honestly at that distance it is a pain even against some BBs that maneuver a bit. You can shoot and its good for the ocasional few hundred to 1-2k HP damage, but the guns dont start to be really efficient before you get to the border of the invi-firing-corridor at ca. ~10km.

 

Atlanta trying to spam with ~17s traveltime at 15km and living for 5 minutes should be equally useless to an Atlanta closing in to 10km and living for 2 minutes.

 

But thats guesswork, ofc.

[imply_tha_best]

Normally taking a T7 is a bad idea... As there are few of them that will perform well. Normally its better to take a T8.

 

If you want similar gameplay (the HE spamming, that is) I would recommend you to use the Mogami or the Mikhail Kutuzov. 

 

 

Although in my opinion if you want to have succes in ranked I would recommend trying the Atago. (if you have it) The healing ability and the low detectabily (when buffed) makes it able to survive for much longer than other cruisers.

Exactly, but why do it ? 

[Shaka_D]

The Atlanta is too situational, and sadly I've very seldom seen one be useful in any ranked battle. Most of the time it puts your team at a disadvantage so in a sense I can't blame other players form being annoyed in a team dependent game mode such as ranked battles.

 

If people report you suck it up and be grateful they're not knocking on your door. You may get away with it in random battles, but ranked battles are serious stuff. I'm even starting to get annoyed by seeing tier 7 BB's in ranked these days.

This. Take my Atago to Ranked most of the time. Atago > New Orleans for some reasons.

First you got health recovery, plus 10km Torps are not that bad. Mogami got Torps, too but lacks recovery. And to be honest, the good AA skill of a NO is more or less useless since there are very few CVs around.

I am quite satisfied with my Atago.

[LetsRockAndRoll]

If the enemy have an Atlanta, or Pensacola, or Colorado, or in a couple of sad cases all 3 = Fortunate Battle

[ammattimies]

Exactly, but why do it ? 

 

I know you're burdened by the apparent mandatory silliness of the ST, but I still have hopes you meant, "Exactly, but why WG allows it?" - why allow T7's to be taken into a T8 competitive game mode? Also, why allow T1 to be divisioned with T10's? Also, why implement silly ingame reporting systems when everyone knows it's just gonna get abused by the mostly noobish F2P crowds? In summary; just WHY, WG ?

 

I also have the answer for you, it lies already inside the question: "Because WG"

[gravelbelly]

In ranked battles you.re supposed to get the Hawaii flag on rank 15, yet I'm rank 12 and have not received it yet

[txtspeak]

 

Well its not like Cleveland cant hit at a range of 17.5 km,

it can't...

Havent been following this ranked season... but dont you get the flag rewards when the season is over? (the season isnt over is it?) 

[gravelbelly]

ah not sure to be honest, this is the first time that I have taken part

[imply_tha_best]

ah not sure to be honest, this is the first time that I have taken part

 

yeah, wait 5 more days and the when the season is over you should get your reward. 

[Azrael_Ashemdion]

I use the Atlanta in RB when the queue favors it, and usually when I do it rocks the house.  I don't think anyone's choice of ship should earn them negreps, just how well or poorly they play it.
