200 main battery hits at tier 8 - 10

[cuddlesRO]

Currently I'm giving the missions a go and I find this particular one very annoying.

 

You are basically forced to take a DD at this this because of ROF. But even if I played a tier lower Sims (that is renown for ROF) I wasn't able to do more than 170 main battery hits - and that game was a monster of a game I had).  So what gives? anyone find this mission extremely retarded? What DD's are the champions of ROF at tier 8-10? Not going to grind them anytime soon but just for the record.

But you could do it in USN DD's albeit a bit tricky with the lazy arcs.

Atlanta or Cleveland are also contenders. Easier in US DD.

 

With US DD's Once the team is comfortably in the lead (you have more caps, enemy DDs are dead etc), smoke up and spam a local enemy BB. Should not be difficult. You wont do much damage at all, but should get the mission quickly enough. Dont forget, the Sims is one gun short, so if you have Mahan or Benson (without AA hulls) and you have 5 guns, you will get it easy.

Would have given advice based on what ships you have, but hidden stats.

One is the best of the bests.... AKIZUKI

 

 

[Aotearas]

RU tier VIII and IX cruisers

RU tier VIII, IX and X destroyers (except the Ognevoi in the split line)

US tier VIII, IX and X destroyers

IJN tier VIII cruiser in 155mm setup

IJN tier VIII destroyer from the split line (Akizuki)

RN tier VIII, IX and X cruisers

GE tier VIII, IX and X destroyers (tier VIII in 150mm setup might cut it a bit short but the 128mm setup easily does the job)

 

Plenty of ships that can comfortably do it.

 

[Corvi]

What ships do you have ? That mission is very easy in RU DD's, most US BB, Akizuki, Kutuzow, Atlanta/Flint, most RN Cruisers and so on ..

[cuddlesRO]

Yeah well I only have US DD's and CA's and I would not bother grinding something else again (not too much time to play) but thanks for you input.

 

Atlanta or Cleveland are also contenders. Easier in US DD.

 

Erm.. both are tier 6 and 7 respectively . Mission needs to be in ships of tier 8 and up.

 

[Synth_FG]

Des Mes should handle this easily enough,

Did not check, and you mentioned Sims so.....

 

US DD Tier 8 up then. Benson (with a or B hull) is more renowned for ROF than Sims as it has 5 guns and not the 4 found on Sims. 

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

easy take rus dd or any other

[Migulaitor]

most US BB

 

Thats a nice rate of fire Corvi

200 MBHs are nothing. If you consider you are able to get 70-90 MHTs with BBs, you can do it with any CA or DD. 

[XbodzioXplX]

You all talk about ship.

How about - don't die in first 5 minutes of the battle?

[VC381]

I did this mission with Kutuzov, several times over, easy grind for that stage (I assume this is the campaign?). Chapayev with stealth fire should also make this mission trivial. Light cruisers are the way to go on this.

 

The DD assumption is mostly wrong BTW. Yes you have the RoF but you lack the number of guns and the range, and usually you have other things to do than fire all the time and be perma-spotted. So you need to play a dedicated different playstyle to farm the hits which isn't always optimal for winning the game. Having said that, find a good smoke position in a Benson and the mission is done (you basically can't miss a Yamato).

I like to use Minotaur or Neptune for huge amount of main battery hits.

[waxx25]

Is this post for real? I want to troll but its just so bad. Complaining about 200 main battery hits......at tier 8-10? The OP basically trolls himself with it. He also has hidden stats which we all know what that means.

[Takeda92]

cruisers can do it too.

[ImperialAdmiral]

Akizuki

 

Nuff said.

[Raziel_Walker]

I struggled slightly with this mission at first too but positioning is important as you want to make sure you always have an available target to shoot at. So don't hug a map border on the side without any enemies.. 

Getting a gunboat DD or a cruiser with enough guns/ROF helps too.

Sadly ,  people like you still exist. And why is hiding my stats bothering you? What does that mean to people like you ?  To people like me , it generates a lot of  salt  from people with no life and the sole purpose of checking someone else's performance in a game. Unfortunately for you that is pretty much the sole reason I hid my stats. To hurt the likes of you , the sad prying eyes , the type of neighbor that watches me when i leave home and bothers what i do today. Get a life buddy. I'm serious.

 

And to the rest , thanks for your input. I got enough answers now. Thanks.

Stats can give a general idea of what OPs' intentions are, and what exactly their problems might be. Imagine someone like waxx25, a player with shiny super unicum ratings, asking how to get 200 shell hits in a single game. That, I could just put aside as a mere troll thread. Or if he asked this for real, I'd be unlikely to provide valuable advice about how to improve his performance - seen him in action a few times, had to fight against him once, it did not even hurt. Checking other people's stats is usually a good thing to do to give an adequate answer to their problems. It becomes bad as soon as below average stats are used for insults and bashing (although it might be justified in extreme cases). Hiding stats, however, will easily get you prejudged as either a troll or a "Dunning Kruger"

 

As for the topic, I concur with previous commenters: any cruiser at T8+ can do this, even the T8 heavy cruisers if they stay afloat long enough.

BBs not so much - they rather have a hard time shooting 200 shells in the first place (200 shells = 17 Montana/GK full broadside salvoes = about 8-9 minutes of constant firing without any pause; and that is without considering their hit rate of about 30%)
