The Final Frontier - New T7 Scenario

[iJoby]

Quote

 

ST, new scenario "The Final Frontier".

The frontline that is drawing nearer and constant air raids on the Rowen atoll threaten to disrupt the Japanese engineers' and scientists' project. To avoid a catastrophe, a transport air squad is sent to the location to evacuate the personnel and valuable documents. The warships are called in to provide a safe approach for the planes and allow for timely evacuation through the airfield.

Only available for the Tier VII ships

 

At last a T7 Scenario hopefully in update 6.13, a chance to play some great T7 Ships.

What T7 ship would you play in this Scenario.

 

My ships of choice:-

Belfast

Arp Nachi or any Arp Cruiser (Same 19pt Captain)

Saipan

Scharnhorst

[Kevbar]

Most likely my Fiji, but maybe my Nelson occasionally. Might even be able to re-enact her sister's (Rodney) bombardment of Alderney as seen on this clip. You never know!!

I guess Fiji. But have to check first, how this Scenario plays out.

[Lin3]

Schschoors - should be the equivalent of the Cleveland. High dpm and doesn't need real money to buy, unlike Belfast.

When playing against bots, the poor armour, easy to hit citadel and poor turning circle of this ship is less important.

 

Myoki, including ARP version might be good too. Good dpm plus nice amount of torps.

 

 

Most PVE scenarios are so easy that 5 stars can be gotten in any ship. All you need is some team mates that aren't too hopeless. Ones that don't die to the first wave...

[Cosseria]

Sweet! I had asked before for an expansion of scenarios to other tiers, that's really good news. I will play any ship I'm grinding, save for battleships.

[dCK_Ad_Hominem]

Shchors for the daka, alternatively shiratsuyu, hiryu or Scharnhorst (fast, good dpm, torps, won't get citadelled).

 

T7 has a lot of great ships. So pretty much all except colorado should be viable. 

[rnat]

Depending on the amount of hostile aviation a Flint or Atlanta might be viable as a utility cruiser.

DPM would be good too (if enemy does not have many t8+ bbs), but highly range-dependent.

Otherwise any ARP-Myoko, Saipan or HIryu (worse Air-Air bur better dmg against low-mid AA targets)

[Ze_Reckless]

Flint should be great. Not only for 7.2 km AA, also you can smoke up whatever you are escorting.

at last.

 

-Algerie

- Myoko

- Shchors.

And probably if I feel in the mood.

- Pensaturd

and later on

the german one.

my captains will appreciate.

 

I'm thinking about buying the  6's

Duca or the French one or the molotov. But I don't know yet

 

But what I really would like to see, the 5's back in operations.

I miss playing Furutaka.

 

Put the 5's back in operations, pls.

join the movement.

[Skyllon]

Lot of planes? There is only one ship on the Tier that overshadows all others... AA Gneisenau.

[AkosJaccik]

Hm. It will depend largely on the needs of the scenario, but I guess I'll screw around with DPM-monster IFHE-Shchors and with the Hiryu.

...maybe Kaga for the lolz.

Nah, svyatozar it's the real monster.

I know, I know

but I will miss that one.

All ships should be like the one's in the halo op.

T7 ships should be fun, I'm glad that WG are expanding the scenarios, as they are a good change of scenery from PvP or competitive. It would be interesting if they opened up some operations with only ships that historically took part i.e. some of the Mediterranean naval battles between the Royal Navy and Regia Marina (when they are added...). But one step at a time I suppose, and this is a good step.

"constant air raids"

It could be very difficult to balance if there's lots of aviation involved, the difference between an AA spec Atlanta with an AA skilled captain and a normal T7 cruiser is epic.

 

Maybe WG will hand out loan ships again?

Hmm. Would be feasible only if the scenario is sufficiently difficult - ie as difficult as Halloween or more. 

[pzkpfwv1d]

Do not forget that the Shchors is also quite good for AA with the enhanced AA boost active it can be lethal against incoming air raids 

[Exocet6951]

>Tier7

>Planes

 

=> Atlanta

[Migulaitor]

AA specced Gneis AA has better DPS than Atlanta (Except during the use of the AA consumable) so it could be an option.

[rnat]

But it lacks the DPM and burst dmg. The Map will need sufficient cover and short distance fighting for them to be viable in any way though. And different from the Gnei most Atlanta/Flint builds (i think) include AFT and AA-range mod by default, so no need to respec.

[wilkatis_LV]

Too late for 6.13, sounds like 6.14

But hey, this one is quite welcome

[rnat]

Might be 6.15 or later as well. We'll see. But very welcome nonetheless.

Also very interested how Kaga might perform. Since bots don't strafe and she has a retarded amount of striking power and a big reserve it might just be the ideal cv for operations, TBs are just as flimsy on the Hiryu anyways.

[triumphgt6]

Atlanta - have still been getting the odd clear sky with her recently , though obviously a Flint would be probably better.

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

If they are going to have a scenario called "The Final Frontier" then surely it should include the USS Enterprise (with a special captain for it - James T.Kirk).

I am pretty sure the whole idea of "The Final Frontier" is based around the Big E, Captain Kirk with 16 point skills with 2 of them skills being special for getting 5 stars, sounds like a great idea.

 

Just out of interest, if this special captain was going to happen, What 2 special CV skills should Kirk get?
