That Ultimate Bundle looks interesting. Basically you pay for 6500 doubloons and a few of the 100 flags, and get a free ship. I will consider collecting her but not 100% sure yet :)

Was so excited that I took the ultimate bundle to top up my doubloons.... Now that bundles are a choice it is far more fun picking them rather than being forced

I'm still sitting on 18k doubloons after the Belfast incident, so I bought a nekkid König Albert. Still good enough. Now, where are those seals?

Finally, a vintage  WW1 Kaiser with the fancy crest of Saxony is in our stores. It is about time. She might only be a Tier III vessel, but damn she looks amazing. Come on, you little british cruisers, where are you hiding?

 

Now we only need a vintage König. And maybe some BCs later.^^

How can WG sell this thing? It's so OP it's not even funny! The only thing that can touch you is an ambushing DD, and due to the massive HP pool you'll most likely survive that too.

i would say shes very ambivalent - against tiers 2 and 3 she feels really op but she struggles against 4 mainly because of range...still her shells seem to be magnetized towards cruisers' citadels (maybe that's just the new brit ones)

 

No, I take it back...shes op

Just see the premium shop: offer for a week, then, maybe follow the same luck as the Nikolai...

No, I'm refering that the Nkolai was in the shop like a few weeks, and then dissapeared because it was OP...

bought her as soon as she went on sale, got the standard bundle, couldn't justify nearly £30 for a T3 ship, especially after I accidentally spent £170 on Tirpitz, 'Horst, 'Apolis, and assorted amounts of doubloons and credits. In the span of a month. Oops...? :P

 

Had 3 games in her so far, using one of my commanders that i stuck on my Bayern, just finished grinding the retraining (it was only 1000 xp), just had my first victory in her, Tier 4, 3 kills, a S Carol, a Louis, and a stationary jap DD that i think was AFK, killed him in two hits, first one nearly killed him outright.

Bam, instant buy. She's a lot longer and slimmer than I thought from pictures and the regular Kaiser's slightly bulkier silhouette. She's beautiful, and the 5km secondaries, huehuehue! Now we just need to wait for the Wilhelmshaven flag when the ranked season ends.

 

After four battles (all victories):

I feel kind of dirty, but I'd be playing this ship even if she were weak. Devastating strikes against British cruisers seem like they'll be a regular occurance... WG really need to improve the state of those ships, but even the cruisers with HE can't do a lot to Albert. She's got that Nokolai thing where there's pretty much no superstructure to shower with damage.

I don't think so, especially that ....

 

On RU server at 14.11.16 a mission: "Project Oil"  is starting. Every user who collect enough points will get ARP ships and the main prize is ... free König Albert and Red Crimea again.

I`ve bought the ship with just the slot, wondering what happens if I buy the bundle with all the bells and whistles ?Do I get the value of the ship in gold or in credit?

I've got more than enough ships to play. Doubt a T3 BB offers me a whole lot more. Although I've got two 15 pt BB captains I can slap in her...

So far I enjoy her quite much as well. She feels realy reliable and so far I did not notice a notoriously bad dispersion. Usually I hit my target with at least 2 of 8 shells.

 

Also a good strategy: overmatching bows of other ships (305 calibre overmatches everything of 21 mm and thinner). Works especially well against Kawachis, because they have no extra plating on their lower bows and the citadel sticks out a bit of the water. There are some exceptions, for example the Svietlana (!) bow on, Nassau and Kaiser (of course), South Carolina bow on is a bit tricky, Caledon bow on is also tricky (smaller than Danae).
