Hello fellow sailors

 

So the question is, what ship will you bring to the battle?

 

Doesn't it feel a little bit like season 6 will be a pay to win season considering alot of premium ships are really good in that tier, or is it just me feeling that way?

Vote away and we will see what people think. :)

The Fiji will be there for people that havnt got the Belfast and then the Belfast will be there for people who have. Simple as that lol. And if people try to bring their flints they will soon realise that the Belfast can overpower it in almost every way (bar toros)

Don't you think it's a little strange that most of the best ships in Tier 7 are premium ships, it's like WG did this on purpose to get people to buy more premiums?

Maybe there will be some super sale for tier 7 premiums soon? :coin:

That was the complaint last time and now we have Belfast & Scharnhorst as well, pure P2W.

Populer douse not mean best. Prems will always be popular as it allows players to put highly skilled commanders from tier 8+ in to tier 7 ships. It remains to be seen which German tier 7 BB is best in a 7v7

 

Scahrhorst has rapid fire low calibre guns. But Gneisenau has harder Punching guns and better AA.

 

Blyskawica is an old and Popular DD with many players like me with an 18 point commander. She is one of my favourite ships as she was the first ship in game that I have been on board the real one. But I am pretty sure the Shiratsuyu will come out as the hands down best DD for the JOB. That Alpha strike with 16 torps can have a huge impact on a 7v7 match. The guns are almost as good as the Blysk and is stealthier  though slower than the Blysk

 

Prem ships tend to do better than there non prem counterparts because they often have more skilled commanders and the players that buy them tend to be the more committed and more mature players (with money to burn) over the casual players that dont spend money in game.

Sims will just incinerate everything. Ridiculous gun traverse, good speed. Area denial torps, maneuverability and stealth. It Has stupid shell trajectory, so islands don't even stop it pew pewing.

 

It's a very well rounded ship.

 

Thank you Santa crate.

In  my opinion Blyskawica/Akatsuki and Shiratsuyu are way better ships. About the only thing Sims has going for her is the XP buff she gets means there is a good chance that on a lose you will be top of team on XP so wont lose a star

Usually people tend to concentrate on two, but they, I can change it. ;)

 

*EDIT*

Now changed so you can vote for as many ships as you want.

Fiji and Gneisenau laugh at your premiums. Like rly. Scharnhorst in ranked is a bad idea.

Gneisenau maybe, but Fiji, two shots and it's blown into pieces.

 

Forgot about Maass, actually forgot about the new german DD line! :facepalm:

You are a disgrace to the Führer !

 

Jokes aside...I wish I can bring Graf Spee. It pops Belfasts like a zits, and I have a feeling Ranked will be infested with them.

Spee can even hold its own even against T8, so will be fine in T7.

I don't know about Fiji. I mean I love it in randoms and usually have good fun games, but can it carry in ranked? You can't 1v1 anything but DDs because you have no armor and smoke doesn't help at all if there is no one scouting for you. And radar + 1 BB volley can end you quickly.

Did you notice on the Public Test Server that while the main Tier for Ranked will be VII, the low tier to start with is going to be Tier V?

Will start of with the Horst, since I feel comfortable in her. And also to check out how this ranked meta will be in regards to RPF.

 

Depending on that I'll spec my Sims for either RPF (too) or for max. DMG output.

 

And a IFHE Belfast for the occasional HE-lol-pen battle.

I'd need a poll on the least viable ship, since that is what I intend to bring to troll this. Dunno, something stock US probably. Stock Colorado or Pensacola? Sounds about right. Let's just say it's my way of telling WG what I think of this p2w crap.

 

As for the actual balance of powers, well, may the team with the better Belfasts win. It's this simple and that's why it's so stupid. Belfast has so much utility and smaller teams will only emphasize that even more. Yes, Flint, Scharnhorst, Blys, Leningrad are also strong premium ships and will easily outperform just about all techtree ships, but Belfast actually has a counter for all of them and better synergies with whatever happens to be on the team. Which will of course make the Belfasts an obvious priority in every match, so the better Belfast wins. Case closed, moving on. So, what do you think? Colorado or Pensacola? AS Ranger would be even more trollish, but I never bothered to grind CVs, so it's down to one of those two, I think.

You have smoke but unsless you have smokescreen expert it's so small that you will be an easy target anyway.

Still, I agree with you, armor is too bad to let you do a 1vs1 against anything but DDs.

Am personally torn between the Fiji and the Scharny....... Have Belfast but wish I hadn't rushed in and bought it before trying out Silver RN line.... Have always used Atlanta in prior seasons, but my personal feelings are that Fiji is a little more 'rounded'.... All will depend on what the liklihood is of Carriers being regulars may be.
