[MUMMY] rage1750 Players 824 posts 11,400 battles Report post #1 Posted October 17, 2017 Hello all I won a Perth in a super crate a few weeks ago. I am not a fan of it; but haven't played it much so maybe it will grow on me. I don't need the doubloons but I can't see me playing her much. I see that WG is offering the chance to see her; I was wondering what I would get for her? I can't find a doubloon figure as she has never been sold for doubloons, does anyone else have an idea? Thanks Captains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,326 battles Report post #2 Posted October 17, 2017 I bought the Perth when it was on sale recently, the value for the base ship was around 5000 doubloons. I would keep the ship, especially if you have a spare Spotter Mod and Smoke mod. The ship offers some unique gameplay, especially if you take the time to invest in the captain.

Drunken_Jedi Players 849 posts 2,954 battles Report post #3 Posted October 17, 2017 I would keep her. She's a great ship, like the Belfast she can smoke and shoot while spotting for herself using the spotter plane. With the special mods you can get almost 4 miuntes of spotter plane (IIRC) and about 3 minutes of smoke. I'd keep her personally mate, see what happens if they buff her gun range... which is pitiful atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,382 posts 26,855 battles Report post #4 Posted October 17, 2017 Perth is unique but a bit niche, rather like De Grasse. Leander is probably more fun and has that RN sAP which is one hell of a lot more effective in a close-range dog fight, so I'd grind up to that one and use your doubloons for something else. Duca D'Aosta or Graf Spee are good options for "different" cruisers at Tier VI, and you should get enough back from Perth for either without needing to buy too many more doubloons.

[LAFIE] lafeel Beta Tester 7,707 posts 7,856 battles Report post #5 Posted October 17, 2017 I will be keeping mine. She's, I have found, a decent enough ship. Plus she does have a rather proud history, albeit also a sad one, at least her end was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if the smoke change will "kill" any of this ships... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if the smoke change will "kill" any of this ships... Well LittleWhiteMouse said on reddit that Belfast and Kutuzov should still be ok with the changes. Bought the Kutuzov today and I'm certain that at the ranges this ship operates, smoke nerfs aren't going to hit the ship heavily. Belfast might lose some of it's capability, but not much. Perth is a problem, with only 12.8km range it will like the Leander suffer from the change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CPA] Procrastes Beta Tester 4,083 posts 4,481 battles Report post #12 Posted October 18, 2017 The Perth is a great little ship! And I think she will be fine even with the smoke nerf; she's one of the ships that will be hit the least hard in the cruiser line. What was that firing detection bloom again, 5,4 km? If you're as close as that, you're too close period! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HOO] Hawg Players 495 posts 12,346 battles Report post #14 Posted October 18, 2017 Keep her - she's a unique ship with unique mechanics - She can be fun to play, and with the right build and captain can be great in ranked. Once she's gone, you may never get her back, and as you said, you don't need the dubloons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] Kenliero Players 2,478 posts 11,195 battles Report post #15 Posted October 18, 2017 I've played pretty much all ships and Perth is still my favorite. Last season 100% winrate in ranked with Perth :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #16 Posted October 18, 2017 Are you kidding me?! It has a purple Koala on board. That alone is reason enough for me never even consider selling it. Didn't play it too often but I find the moving smoke cloud hilarious! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[XODUS] JaiFoh Players 799 posts 4,868 battles Report post #23 Posted October 18, 2017 I only have a 8pt captain in the Perth as i did not "win her" so in the process of grinding up using the Scenarios to get XP as i cannot bare facing randoms without concealment in the Perth. Keep her as i think she is fantastic especially when fitted with the smoke module. If you have her and a 10pt captain do not sell her she is really that fun.
