[HEROZ] GulvkluderGuld Players 3,467 posts 22,114 battles Report post #1 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) 2 wins in 8 games in my Kirov. Average damage somewhere in the 30-40k bracket. Usually top 3 of my team. But...No matter what i do, my teams just seem to evaporate in the first 5 mins. And a lonely Kirov is a dead Kirov, since it reacts extremely violent to any hits. Once I even got detonated (full hp) by a Gnevny shooting AP through my bow at 8 kms. What is your jinxed ship? Edited July 17, 2016 by GulvkluderGuld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #4 Posted July 17, 2016 The Kirov can be fun but you need to accept it's limitations. It's mostly a HE spammer at long range, I find it's AP overrated and you have to expect to have it's HP chopped down every time a DD looks at you. Altho I did once torp two Kongos in seconds with her torps, that might be an issue with the skill of the Kongo players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosseria Players 1,064 posts 4,944 battles Report post #5 Posted July 17, 2016 Kirov, Koenigsberg, Tashkent, Aoba, Fuso. Both my Budyonny and my Atago suffered awfully in the past but are now recovering. There are ships I just don't manage to carry a game with. Kirov and Koenigsberg are too flimsy, the Tashkent is just a big unarmored target. Aoba and Fuso, I never managed to find the mood to get along with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It Citpens cruisers easily at all ranges. AP is my main source of dmg. On the other hand, the Kirov itself seems to take CitPens at all ranges. I remember Citting it with Karsruhe at 12 kms once! @ Limitations: Do you realize this thing as has a larger turning circle than even BB and CVs of equivalent tiers? (860 m to be precise).

Tried, really tried but realised I had 18 other ships I would rather sail so sold it and give up with the US CA line.New York was another I just could not get to work and I was terrible in it.

Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #11 Posted July 17, 2016 Well, playing your role to your best ability is only part of the chance of winning... I'm in a losing spree right now and as much as I hate to blame others it always is pretty much the same pattern: camping BB's and cruisers and DD's suiciding into the caps. When I try something I quickly get focussed out by the opposing campground. But if you mean there are ships with which I can't even hit the sea? Oh yeah! Baltiless and Admiral Cit-me are boats I'm really struggling with. (as is clear in my stats). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FATAL] krazypenguin Beta Tester 573 posts 2,930 battles Report post #12 Posted July 17, 2016 For me it's the Minekaze and Yubari. Not sure about the Minekaze because I play it exactly as I do my Kami R and I have a way better WR in that than in I do in the Minekaze .. For the Yubari, I thought I was doing ok until I watched some of Trigger's replays - next time I have a few hours spare I'm going to concentrate on that, using the tips I picked up from him to try and do some repair work on my WR and average damage in that ship ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pajosaurus Players 472 posts 3,545 battles Report post #18 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) To say that Kirov is a glass ship would be an understatement. It's a glass ship reinforced with extra-durable paper alloy. And for some reason WG gave her atrocious XP modifiers so no matter what you accomplish, you'll be around 11th place on the team with the XP gain.
