Your cruiser rating is better than your average rating. You just don't play them as often, so the sentence up there at the top doesn't take them into account.

Which is kinda strange since I don't enjoy cruisers however the T4 german one I hate with a passion and with the low amount of battles I have played in it. It seems to be heading into one of the best ships I own

- acquired ARP Myoko (gently caress the Cleveland and the setting fires mission, that was loving boring)
- unlocked Ibuki, not sure about buying it yet
- went 70% wins over 20 battles solo queuing nothing but the Fuso, Nagato and one match in the New Mexico

I'm pretty much at T7 with everything, I do have an NC and I recently finished grinding the Pensacola for the New Orleans. I've been focusing mainly on US ships and guns.

I just came back to the game and missed the previous ARP missions. I see new ones just appeared so can someone explain to me the rewards. Is it really giving 2 Kongo-class ships with no catch? Are they premium? Can they be used in exactly the same way I use my current Kongo? And the only difference is a garish paintjob?

The rank 16 captain looks an amazing reward, is it restricted to a particular ship or nation? And whats the point of the other commander, which isn't specified to be rank 16 (Haruna)?

Has anyone done any thinking on the best ships to perform the missions in yet?

New ones? Is this on EU? I don't see anything on NA, although the extended tree mod has always shown Haruna, Hiei and Kirishima waiting in the wings.

And yes, they're just premium elite Kongos, but ARP is its own nationality, so you can't use them to train IJN captains.

e: EU it is, and yeah, free ships at the end. Higher requirements this time around.

E:

Actual requirements are waaaay better this time. No loving setting fires. Just playing the game by shooting things will get them all eventually.
Stage one: T5 or higher, deal 1million damage, ez. Rewards a captain.
Stage two, T5 or higher, score 2000 main battery hits, rewards a Kongo.
Stage three, T7 or higher, deal 2 million damage, rewards a captain.
Stage four, score 3000 main battery hits, rewards another kongo and 5 300% xp flags.

Second mission,
T7 or higher, destroy 100 ships, rewards 500k credits
T7 or higher, deal 10 million(!) damage, rewards 1 million credits
T7 or higher, be in top 2 XP on the team and win the game, rewards a rank 16 Captain and 5 300% xp flags.

This one is definitely a bigger grind, but you don't need to set loving fires to do it so who cares.

To me the laffo thing about my DD rating is that 29 of 30 games are in a Clemson, Wickes, or Sampson. My numbers for win rate, damage, XP, and kills are all well above the average.

Everything. The T5 German cruiser can penetrate and citadel everything at its tier, and WRT battleships aim at their squishy bits with AP and rack up pens on their superstructure. You can loving take apart a Kongo if you hit its pagoda with German AP.

I'm puzzled over a cruiser's role in T8-10 games. DDs can smoke and ruin them, carriers ruin them, battleships ruin them. You won't be able to touch carriers until close to the end of the game where you're already winning, they have more than enough planes to take you down even if you have a superb AA suite or spec. You can annoy battleships if they're already engaged, but they'll smite you once they turn their attention to you. I'd hope DD hunting would be their niche, but DD visibility in 8-10 is very low, maneuverability is so high you won't be able to hit them reliably unless they're <8km, and smoke-stealth-firing or simply stealth-firing from 10km will sap your will to play.

My Zao might as well be a BB these days with all the super-fast torps flying around. If I'm close enough to a DD to both detect and effectively shoot them then being spotted makes me a fun target for BBs sniping from afar. Otherwise it's pretty hard to effectively locate DDs and my proximity warning (!) is always lit up and with the amount of DDs around, and it's just really hard to dodge them at high tiers due to the quantity and velocity. Citadeling other CAs is still fun, but that's becoming few and far between these days.

T5 Gremyaschy is still peak gameplay for me. Apparently I'm 5th on warships.today for it with >250 battles.

I cant believe they gave us more kill missions. Just had two Shimakazes spotted, and there were 4 friendly ships within about 13km of them including 3 cruisers. I didnt see a single shot fired at them, everyone was blazing away at a New Orleans with 8k hp about 16km out. So the Shimas just shot me to death without the slightest interference. Then those ships died horribly to torpedoes and BB fire without killing the New Orleans so that felt better. Just checked my team got 0 kills to 9 in that game.

To wit, a Konigsberg will do ~100-500 HE damage at best (plus fires) to a New Mexico at ~15km but will also to 6-7k damage straight up per salvo with AP at the same range until it decides to turn.

Confusing, but useful.

Are there any lower tier BBs or CAs which are fun with the new manual aim skill for secondary guns ?

The Arkansas Beta seems to be a prime candidate with it's 21 secondary guns and the slots for a range and reload module, combined with tier 4 captain skill and the 5% range flag, you should get 5+km range on those.

The accuracy bonus given by the skill is not the same for low and high tier ships. I think it go from +15% to +60% for t7 and above.

It's for the people who need to collect all the waifus.

Even lacking a tier 7, I guess I will actually get one this time. Last time I just couldn't be bothered after I read the requirements. gently caress setting fires.
