IntelligenceData Beta Tester 191 posts 8,160 battles Report post #78 Posted June 11, 2016 Someone said,think it was Spartan1963, the Atlanta is weak but fun. Pretty much this. The ship itself is not competitive but since its quite unique it CAN be fun to play every now and then. Just don't listen to anyone who says the Atlanta is a good DD hunter! The Atlanta doesn't hunt shiet! Well,planes maybe. If the Atlanta gets spotted every other ship will feast on her. I play mostly DDs and a Atlanta is the last thing I'm scared about. I either avoid or sink her. If my DD gets rekt by an Atlanta I fcked up and if I fck up every other ship will sink me aswell.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TFUK] Dee_82 Players 166 posts 5,485 battles Report post #79 Posted June 11, 2016 I disagree, Atlanta should never be out front, if hunting DDs she supports her own DDs, they spot the enemy and she brings 9 levels of Hell down to bare, DDs last just a few seconds. If she goes out alone hunting DDs then its fair game, she will be spotted before they are and will spend a long time dodging tops and having her turrets knocked out. But she's not a lone wolf, she's a support ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But she's not a lone wolf, she's a support ship. The Atlanta will easily get outspotted from every DD she can face.You say your DDs are spotting the enemy DDs and the Atlanta reks them,fair enough,but: If you stay close to your DDs who do the spotting, the enemy DD will spot the Atlanta before your DDs spot him and simply turn around. If you stay a few km behind your DDs to not get spotted you will be around 9km or even further away from your target. Mayyybeee you will land a few shells on a skilled DD captain from that range yes,but be prepared for devastating BB return fire since you are their closest non DD target to shoot at. If you kill a DD 9 km away with your Atlanta he either got no support,was beached,low health or a noob. But yes the Atlanta is a damn good ship to kill noobs,like every other ship in the game... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] Kenliero Players 2,478 posts 11,184 battles Report post #81 Posted June 11, 2016 This is how you hunt DD's: Your allied DD will find the enemy, you are hiding behind an island. When the enemy DD is found, you ambush the enemy DD and kill him before he escapes. and most importantly... DO NOT GIVE HIM YOUR BROADSIDE, because DD's will citadel your A%#. I swear that 99% of Atlanta players don't know how to angle their ship against DD's. Yeah I know, angling doesn't work against BB or cruisers, but it DOES work against DD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BOTS] peachpest Beta Tester 208 posts 10,789 battles Report post #84 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Now I'm guessing its down to how I've chosen to set mine up but I don't find the Atlanta that bad, it shares the same captain with my Cleveland and both ships and captain are setup for max AA. I had a great game on Two Brothers with 2 CVs by hanging back and providing AA protection to both CV's (pre DF for CV's I might add) I was able to shoot down 31 planes I was also one of the last ships alive and was able to sink 3 and finish with 90k+ damage done was rather happy with my work. I would definitely say its a play style ship that either works for you or it doesn't I see far to many players being the 1st or 2nd ship spotted and/or being far too aggressive and getting sunk early on in games if an Atlanta can stay alive in too late game its a brilliant ship for picking off battle worn enemy ships (aka low hp) it also makes for a great DD hunter.

Atlanta is by far the weakest ship in T7, T6 would be a struggle too Forget the videos, i don't take notice The defence for her is that everyone an their aunt buys her with the expectation for her to charge to the front and reap hell on everyone she crosses and is promptly singled out and obliterated by every ship in the enemy fleet because they know its an easy kill, those stats just show the average, unfortunately that average is hammered by the nuggets I mention above, I don't think its conclusive to say that the ship is crape based off those figures, its not the ship that's crap , its the cptn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ALONE] Smeggo Modder 2,485 posts 15,339 battles Report post #87 Posted June 11, 2016 Then WG should have given her a "warning sign: do not buy if you don't know what you are doing" instead of "rain-of-fire"-merchandising.

_Yuudachi_ Players 58 posts 4,099 battles Report post #93 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I play mainly Jp BB, from last year (july 2015) and every time i got against an Atlanta it was kinda fearsome cuz the ship is thin, constant sets fire and it was actually hard to sink before it gets at torps range. (thanks BB's epic RNG that made you miss at 5km...) I stopped to play some months and i got back about feb 2016. So, for a change i decided to get what i called the "Atlantard", that cheat ship ! ... Or so i though... Looks like it's been lot modified. In my opinion, it may be (now) the worst ship ever of the whole game, if you consider tiers... That ship is about Tier5 stats (with accounting AA and battery spray) but it's T7... The fire range is T3, torps range is T1-T2, SP about T5 and amor... what armor ?.? Also, when you get 151 HE hits for 14k damage,1 single fire set and the last team's score......... excuse me guys, but it does about 92/hit. YES, I KNOW, it sprays, but man.. it's 1 salvo of BB's damage done in a whole battle. In addition, the shell's trajectory is just terrible. Anything over 6km is almost "safe" cuz shells needs too much time to get to the target. If you hunt a fast DD, if you want to hit it, you have to actually get it out of your screen (yes, you can't see it anymore... efficient huh ) to shoot enough far in front to hit it, and then notice that it turned back. On BB's, it's easier to hit, but damages are totally ridiculous and as i said, 1 fire for 151 hits.......... don't count on it to do damages. And even with trying to advance showing the face or a low angle, the total no-armor hull allows to eat 8-12k hits easily. The 4.5km torps are totally useless. You can use it effectively only with braining a BB at close range behind an island (luring him as if you didn't noticed him so he gets too much confident and show broadside). So, to sumup, this ship is so terrible, i wonder how they can sell that crap in the cash shop, it doesn't even worth getting it with game experience or waste credits on it at T7.

Forgetting the torps (who uses them at 4.5Km range and your detectability at 10) Atlanta belongs to tier III Generaly is the same as Bogatir Well done because I can see that you are improving in it somewhat - average damage is up from ~10k after 7 games to ~16k after 21. However, you are still dying in almost every game and not getting kills. Stick with it and follow the detailed advice I gave you in the other thread and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
