Vanhal Alpha Tester 5,609 posts 5,569 battles Report post #8 Posted June 5, 2017 Definitely won't be as good as Nikolai, but i actually hoped it would be this ship and not Arkhangelsk as the announced premium VMF BB.

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #10 Posted June 5, 2017 Tier 5 apparently. Looks like lots of AA crammed on there. Going from Nicolai to this in one tier does seem rather... odd? I mean 4x76mm to all those 37mm + more 76mm + all those machinegun's. Guess WG didn't want to give it defAAA so the base AAA had to be 'stronk' to start with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SICK] Exocet6951 Weekend Tester 5,151 posts 11,809 battles Report post #11 Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Can we stop and look at the 61k hp on a tier5 ship with very little superstructure to hit?I know it's a WIP, but christ.... I shame famiryEDIT: Using previous Russian ships as a basis for AA, single 37mm 70-k mounts on mid tier ships deal about 5.6 dps per mount at 3.2km, and quad 37mm 46-k mounts are 12.3dps per mountSo with the 37mm alone, it's 90+12 dps at 3.2km baseLuckily, every Russian 76mm mount is terribad, so unless they pull a new one out of their rears, long range AA will be worse than bad.

Taking a carrier in your division guarantees top tier in 99 percent of tier 5 games. But you still need to find the masochist who wants to play a carrier. Also AA looks alright for its tier.

I'm interested about that russian BB, but.... imo it look bit fantasy ship, not historical one. Any stories or history on that ship? That was it in 1934 after a major refit, I think they added further AA guns in 1941 and 1944, and IIRC WG said it would representative of it's 1944 state. Hence a lot of AA, which likely means it's going to be a Russian Texas basically. it is a Gangut class BB, and was rename the October Revolution in 1925. and saw service in WW2 largely supporting round offensives with artillery fire.
