So no you are not missing anything special. That being said they still teach valuable lessons in positioning since your range is short and the speed bad. However BB's in general don't start to become proper ships so to say until tier 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember one game in her where I didn't get to fire a shot till only one other person was left on my team, and he was on the other side of the map.. Well at least the Myogi has both the speed and gun range the Kawachi badly needs even if her gun handling is all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL The BBs are very slow at T3, and kawachi is as you say very short ranged, her concealment is however very good. The ship with longer range around 15 km Bellerophon is spotted far longer out so Kawachi can be used to train fight at optimal distances as you can disengage easier, but at the small maps at T3 and the hectic nonsense nontactical fights there it is of less use, although you might end up at some larger maps where you can sometimes surprise someone. At lower tiers DDs and cruisers (at least ships like Bogatyr and St Louis) are more effective for game winning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BABBY] StringWitch Beta Tester 1,607 posts Report post #6 Posted April 21, 2018 If you get more experienced and come back to a ship like Kawachi, you may find the lack of AA isn't really a problem, since these ships are actually very nimble and able to change direction very quickly (relatively speaking). You can also use this to swap sides constantly and fire all your main guns. Tier 4 onward contains superdreadnoughts which are instantly a lot bigger and less manoeuvrable.

That sounds like the kind of game where the whole enemy team lemmings to the other side of the map than the one you went to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
