Is Texas worth £17+

[beercrazy]

 

Texas is half price but you got full price Tirpitz?

 

if your after a premium ship to make credits then the Tirpitz is the choice

if you want a bb American trainer then the texas fits the bill nicely

Can make credits in any ship tbh, add premium to the list and you roll in credits.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Unless you completely suck you will not lose credits in a Tirp.

 

I can only recall a handful of times I've ever lost credits using her and one of them was a detonation.

 

Even without Prem she still pulls in a fair bit. At the moment I'm running Prem time with Prem consumables, she profits every game.

 

If you want a Texas for BB captain training then I suggest you get an Arizona. Texas only has a 30%+ Captain XP with her camo but Arizona has 50% (T5 Prem vs T6 Prem).

I kinda regret buying it - not because it's a bad ship (it's great), but because

 

a) shortly after the Texas they released the Arizona which I consider superior

b) new MM

 

^ This.

I couldn't get the New York to work for me (or me for it rather)  - is the Texas so much different?

The NY felt awful when I used her but I'm more experienced now and the Texas plays a lot better for me. Tex does have better turret angles, reviews online can point you towards the specifics.

It's a NY with better AA.

 

The center turret placement allows you to put more guns on target without giving too much broadside.

She's a bit slower then NY but apart from that, she's the same.

 

The AA is deadly for lower tier planes and still quite good with higher tier ones.

This ship brought me the "Clear Skies" achievment for the first time. ^^

It depends on what playstyle you prefer. It's way too slow for my liking. After playing Japanese BBs for quite some time, I realised when getting back to US BBs that the speed made Japanese BBs much more enjoyable. I actually sold it when it was beginning to do nothing but collect algae in my port.

The Texas is ok, but I would never had bought it and especially not at full price (I got mine free from the invite for inactive player).

Looking at your average dmg: Did you mount the range upgrade module?

Sometimes it's frustrating to not be able to react quick enough to what's going on (i.e. base defense etc) because of the speed. It's not a must-have.

They'll release a couple new and interesting premium ships in the near future.

 

I agree about the MM at T5, every game seems to be against higher tiers, maybe i made the right decision opting for Tirpitz

Now, haven t you seen anything funny about recent tier 8 MM?

[Venatacia]

Are any digital ships worth it ?. You will never get your money back, you can never sell them neither do you own them. All they are for is supporting WG with some of your hard earned money. If you play a lot then it maybe worth it in that context if you get enough enjoyment out of a premium ship. All depends how you look at it. Worth it to some people, not to others. Only you OP can make that decision.

Very much this.

[Odo_Toothless]

Very much this.

 

a/ Texas with smart captain can stand very long vs Arizona and even VII tier BB - really

b/ VII tier cruisers are stiil meat for Texas guns

 

The main difference is dirver, not the ship.

[RUSSIANBlAS]

Tex is better armoured than the IJN BB it will face. If you're better you will hurt them.

a) Where did I say anything that contradicts this?

b) Your point!? Still the new MM is a nerf.

c) Yes - and that's why I'm statistically way better at driving the Texas than you are (couldn't resist because of how he proclaimed himself a "smart captain" ).

There are smart and smarter of course or having more experience then others. I am only a little more then mediocre with 52K on it, but it's hard to play better playing this game from 3,5 months. But that is not the point who is the best, better and the best. Childish play.

 

Simply when somebody with very good stats is saying that it's a problem to be more in highier tier battles sounds strange and even ridicules. Did you see another thread about preferential MM to Arizona and Warspite ? I looked at his stats in Arizona and he had 70K average in OP ship and wants more buffs ? Do you see similarity in this to your statements ? It's sure that both Texas and Arizona are P2W ships and in fact should be nerfed ASAP much more then minor difference in MM. I am wrong on it ? ;-)

 

Let's start the new thread about it ? What do you think ? Lesta said before that premium's would be not better, but they are. Let's change it together to make all community happy about it. Press Lesta to not making OP ships becouse it is wrong, and some other people feel anger about it.

I didn't say that it's a problem - just that it's a nerf and that this should be taken into consideration.

 

  It's sure that both Texas and Arizona are P2W ships

 

Have fun winning, Odo ;)

Winning ? I have a lot of premiums ;-) I simply say a truth - some are P2W. Last game - full buffed in AA Texas killed 17 planes from VII tier Hiryu without any hit .... Sure - ballanced as hell. I am regreating buying it already becouse I can't murder III, IV tier ships any more. So my stats are not 80K, but only 52K. How serious such statement is looking ? And this is not mine  - but Yours. You are regreating and I am delighted in Tex But I know it is not right btw for other players. It's a cheat payed by money.

Yes, I did. I have no complaints about the range with the module. Still, I only have 9 battles with Texas so my stats with it are unreliable yet.

Odo, buy teeth, not premium ships.

Already bought false teeth to have at least some upper hand. Call me a cheater ;-)

Your opening statement about her AA amused me. Yes she has powerful AA for her tier. Basically everyone knows this. But it's short range. No one forced the CV to suicide his planes. With a 20kt top speed while Texas is a good tier V if that's p2w well... You think that
