Thanks for the heads up. Too bad it's not just the ship and port slot, I'd buy for a reasonable price. Don't want the signals. Don't want the doubloons right now or those modules. So won't be buying.

There are two offers for the Marblehead on sale.

 

The first one is just the ship and a port slot and it costs 13.20.

 

The second one comes bundled with doubloons, upgrades and signals and costs 29.99€.

That is also available. 

It s nice that they are offering a training ship for the U S, who had only the crappy Atlanta.

Keep in mind that the Marblehead is very similiar to the A-Hull Omaha and only has 12,7 KM range now that AFT doesn't work anymore for any guns with a caliber above 139mm. It's rudder shift time is pretty bad and its AA is non-existent.

 

On the other hand the Marblehead is incredibly good at laying fires. Much better than its stats would suggest, which are supposed to be identical to the Omaha. The Marblehead can cause 20+ fires a game.

3 days time to decide if I buy her or not - hmm. But its very nice of WG to sell a useable USN vessel for retraining your captains.

Hi all,

 

Keep in mind that the Marblehead is very similiar to the A-Hull Omaha and only has 12,7 KM range now that AFT doesn't work anymore for any guns with a caliber above 139mm. It's rudder shift time is pretty bad and its AA is non-existent.

 

I had great time in my Omaha and I still have and love her... if only Marblehead was equal to it... <SIGH>

Considering I already have Murmansk, is there any reason I would want it besides US captain training?

Not really, unless you like it or collect premiums.

I dont know much about this ship but what are the pro´s off buying this over the Murmansk? Isnt the Murmansk a better ship overall? Then my question is why not buy the Murmansk instead? Or have i missed something??

I know the stats of this ship are not good compared to the Murmansk but this is my first battle in her:

Think I'm going to skip it.  I have the Arkansas (ok, so it is a BB but still) and I just don't think I'll get enough use out of it.

I've got a few US premiums, but for earning potential, Tier 5 seems to be the sweet spot for me.

Personally, I am quite surprised about the cash you can earn with the Michael Kutuzov. Still, I am considering the Marblehead since I'm a ship-messy of sorts....
