Noobsplatter Players 303 posts 3,401 battles Report post #5 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) You never had to endure it ingame. It's better this way, believe me. Lies! I always had a small hope that it would return to my port. The funniest ship I had in cbt. The ship might be gone, but my withdrawals will never go away.

[CPA] Procrastes Beta Tester 4,083 posts 4,481 battles Report post #10 Posted March 9, 2016 Jingles described it as a "one-trick pony", that depended on circumstances being just right for the trick to work at all. And I also heard that it was a magic shell magnet, getting insta-sunk the moment it was spotted.... which kind of figures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poster_2015 Players 695 posts Report post #11 Posted March 9, 2016 Well Kitakami is a Kuma class cruiser (tier 4), with tier 4 stats, just some of the guns removed to make room for the torp launchers. It kinda figures that Kuma at tier 8 or 10 has trouble surviving once its spotted . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally like a cruiser with destroyer gameplay features. It wasn't a cruiser with destroyer gameplay features, it was a cruiser with features from a B17 bomber, ie : carpet bomb and hoping you hit something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TTTX] Ictogan Players 1,841 posts 7,432 battles Report post #17 Posted March 28, 2016 I really want it doe. A cruiser with 20 torpedo launchers per side? Gimme! Heck, when specced for stealth it even has a detection range of 8.7km, so plenty of room for stealth torping(unless there's dds or planes spotting you).

Tivook Beta Tester 140 posts 4,721 battles Report post #19 Posted August 23, 2017 I hope it returns :) Especially during these dark days when everyone is whining about how op BB's are. The Kitakami could definitely be a BB punishing vessel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[72] mikelight1805 [72] Beta Tester 453 posts 14,842 battles Report post #20 Posted August 23, 2017 I never had one, but i remember the Kitti well. It was a quite a thing wasn't it? and by "quite a thing" i mean it was totally mental. Who in their right mind thought this ship was a good idea? It must have been such a frustration to play. maybe its just the nostalgia value, but i do kinda miss it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-UKA-] _DarthGunny_ Beta Tester 75 posts 17,228 battles Report post #21 Posted August 23, 2017 i had one was a crap ship realy but was fun to play. if i renember right it had 10k torps only problem tho was the detection was 11k. must admit i wouldnt mind having it back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gekkehenkie50 Beta Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 675 posts 5,845 battles Report post #22 Posted August 23, 2017 You could get it down to the 9.3/1 (cant remember) that we get on Takao/Atago now, so stealth torping was possible as long as it was defensively. And come on, a 3 div Kitakami division = 120 torpedoes... I dont care if you are a Kuma at tier VIII, thats just too fun! Also, in those days it was very hard to overpen a citadel, unlike now. So the deletions she was well known for wouldnt happen that often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[JUNK] Affeks [JUNK] Beta Tester 1,934 posts 8,416 battles Report post #23 Posted August 24, 2017 You know even after they pulled the ship out from sales, they still have it modelled and in game. Some people datamined some patches where they added different consumables to Kitakami. They gave it Hydro/speed boost+Kutuzov smoke. So basically if its this version we see at some point it may not be that gimmicky anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
