POLL: Your worst performing ship

[Hayashio]

Ahoy Forum Dwellers and Captains!

 

 

Today I have come to you to ask for your opinions. Which ship did you think was the worst performer in your eyes? Which ships of tier II to III did you have the least fun playing in?  Or perhaps, you skipped because of it's bad reputation. Tier II and III are tiers most of us have seen quite a lot of, so it's the perfect starting point. I will be extending it further down the line, but for now we will stick to low tiers.

Your opinion is very much appreciated.

To be honest I don't play low tiers in fear of being called a stat padder or whatever name. I just rush through them to get to tier 4 to 7. Shame because I think those tiers are quite fun really but WG kind of makes it all to easy and quick to get past them. Personally I think WG should keep people there longer to learn the game but hay what do I know.

 

Tier II - Umikaze

 

Tier III - Katori / Kolberg / Kawachi. I chose Kawachi but all 3 of those are bad performers. Can't vote for more than one.

I had a feeling that some people would tell me this. It is indeed true that players tend to have a bad reputation for playing low tier. Although nowadays seals go through CooP before they can go into the random queue so they will have some prior training.

Changed the number of votes you can put in to 3

Mikasa: Fun but thoroughly uncompetitive. Anyone with half a brain stays outside secondary range and kills her at their leisure. The fact she is now on general sale has hurt her by making her more common, so people know what to expect.

Chester: Large and poorly protected. The worst regular ship, though not spectacularly bad compared to her opposition; the guns are big.

 

Kawachi: Good stealth but short range combined with low speed with the worst dispersion in the game make her more painful to play than she really needs to be for WG to discourage players from pursuing BB and CV lines.

Kolberg: Much worse health, armour and guns than St. Louis and Bogatyr without any redeeming features. Pre-5.6 Karlsruhe (one set of torps per side) should be tier 3, with something more contemporary with Phoenix and Kuma at tier 4.

Tenryu: I don't consider her an underperformer and haven't voted for her, but she is notably harder to play than other tier 3 cruisers.

Chester and Kolberg by miles.

 

Kawachi and Mikasa are great fun.

[1MajorKoenig]

It's usually the ones you like most...

[Spellfire40]

T3 both BBs. They start yout too weak compared to CA and have near 0 defence vs DDs just geting in your face and torping you from Point blank range.

T2 Mikasa for reasons allready listed. Enemys Needs to be very stupid to let you perform in her. on the other Hand i Love Katori since she benefits from a skilled comander and wrecks ST Louises easyly if your not stupid enogh to seek an Close range Engagement.

[orlathebeast]

mikasa: so beautifull and honorabru, but... nah.

orly

[Trainspite]

Sampson & Novik. 

And no tier 3s really underperform for me, so Kawachi gets a vote. Even if it is undeserved in my opinion.

Changed it to St Louis for schitz und giggles.

Erhm i highly doubt that, well i guess anything is relative

[Krizmuz]

Chikuma

Wickes

[Aotearas]

Interestingly enough, my stats on the Umikaze are atrocious ... and I hate the Kolberg and Kawachi with a passion.

[Runegrem]

Sampson & Novik.

 

The Novik? I had a blast with that one during the Russian cruiser competition a while back.

 

But as for underperformers, I haven't really seen any battleship at tier II-III be any good at all. Not counting the St. Loius, which is certainly as tough as one.

[KL_7]

I'd say Novik at T2. The guns felt inadequate (those bloody arcs...).

 

For T3, Kolberg. It doesn't feel good enough against the competition (and is absolutely helpless when uptiered)

Technically we all had the ability to try them, they are easily accessible. Might have worded it incorrectly ;)

[Cosseria]

Gotta be the Albany. Lovely aesthetics and interesting and all you want, but I had it pre-buff and it was frustrating. So much that I rage-sold it.

Tier 3, I voted for SC.

[Xevious_Red]

For tier 3 it was the st Louis for me, played it during a loss streak;

Decent damage each game (32k), positive K/D, fought to the last to try to prevent cap.... 29% WR lol

 

Ended up skipping the end of it so I could play tier 4 where the standard of players is (marginally) better

[Vanhal]

Albany worst ship?

[xeransa]

Derzki and Sampson but it won't let me vote, I get the error message - You must cast your vote in each question of the poll. I ticked both ships as well...

[Takeda92]

Well when you get to tier 5, that would be Zuiho for me.

 

I finished her grind with 38% winrate.

[Cosseria]

Yes, Albany. I got it last summer when she was given for free and before she was buffed. As this thread is about our opinions rather than facts (official stats should tell us which ship is the worst), I have to say the Albany felt like a bad joke. Everything could outrange her, and she was slow.

Notwithstanding, I'd be curious to play her now to see how it feels post buff.

[Agantas]

I voted for Chester and Derzki, since I sucked with those two ships. No tier 2 ship feels like a grind really. I have recently repurchased Kolberg and can understand why people are voting for it. I manage not to suck with the ship, but I'm not exactly carrying the games with it. The short range of Kolberg guns and getting spotted before you're in range makes it fairly difficult to play. Always salvo fire with a Kolberg.

Ah, in this context it is true, before range buff Albany was garbage. Now it's very fine. Not so fun as uber dakka Dresden, but more than other 2 tier cruisers.

Kawachi is the worst ship in the game. Just started replaying some T1-3 ships with my mate (new to the game) and the Kawachi is just ........ F****** FRUSTRATING

With AP it's either a bounce (even on cruisers) or an overpen. Played with it all day (yesterday) and I got only 1 citadel hit (in 11 games). And if you're in a donkey team you can't win. You just can't. Even T1 cruisers could dominate this piece of junk.

Imo the BBs at low tier shouldn't be as good as at higher tiers but they are just too awful to play. I remember from my first plays that it wasn't really accurate, but now I'm just baffled by how inaccurate it really is. There's nothing as frustrating as a cruiser being able to close 6 kms when you hit one or two hits per salvo (8 shells) and they only do 810 damage.
