Let's assume I need trainers for my boat captains... What are good trainers for the USN , Russians and IJN ? I was looking at the Atago , Atlanta and Kutuzov ? I only have the Yubari as IJN Trainer and the Sims and Arkansas Beta for the USN and the Grem for the russians...is there a point to get the mentioned boats as trainers ? Should I just get two ? get all of them ? stop spending money on bad games for idiots ? Please help !

If I was in the need for a US trainer, I'd go with a Texas, Arizona or maybe an Alabama if you are feeling really frisky.

GiantHurtBall posted:Let's assume I need trainers for my boat captains... Trainers for what exactly? DD? CA? BB? For DD: US - Sims, duh. IJN - ...you're hosed, Fujin/Kamikaze if they ever get sold again but your best bet is the campaign reward Shinonome... or use Atago Russia - Leningrad is the only choice, Gremy is nice if you have it but Lenin has better earning potential I think For CA: US - Indianapolis. Unless you REALLY can pull the Atlanta playstyle down, the Indy is more reliable. Alternatively, earn a Flint and abuse the poo poo out of it. IJN - Atago, duh. Russian - Kutuzov, duh. Molotov isn't bad either, but the Kutuzov is broken. For BB: US - If you're a moneybags, Missouri. The Alabama or Arizona are fine, with preference to the Alabama (if you're not a mega moneybags or too new to have enough convertible xp to get the Missouri). IJN - Mutsu, since the ItchySushi just doesn't earn enough to help (and the Mutsu is pretty cool IMO) Russia - ONLY RUSSIAN BB YOU NEED IS IMPERATOR NIKOLAI, DA? THIS BOAT IS HARD TO DO WELL IN BUT YOU WILL MANAGE. YOU TRAIN WITH BOAT, YOU KILL CAPITALISTS. CYKA BLYAT. But in seriousness, the Kutuzov, because even when Russian BBs happen, the Kutuzov makes so much more money/xp than the Nikolai just from tiering. And everyone knows the only tech tree Russian BB in the game right now is the Moskva.

Atago and Kutuzov are probably the two best T8 cruisers. If you like high tier cruiser play in general you really can't go wrong with either. The Atago is a bit more demanding to play but more fun IMO, while the Kutuzov is straightforward but a bit more passive. The Atlanta is a gimmick ship that can be fun, but it's not very good. If you really want a US crew trainer/premium and don't mind battleships, you really can't go wrong with the Alabama. You can also consider buying a permanent camo for a regular tech tree ship you like and get half a premium for about half the price, but that doesn't let you train captains. Ultimately I think it's down to what you like playing.

It's gun are amazingly accurate and make it my second favorite T6 to the Fuso.

Indianapolis is garbage, don't buy it. Something to keep in mind with the kutuzov is that it absolutely need superintendent. For IJN I don't know...smokeless short range cruisers are in a tough spot with the proliferation of laser accurate battleships at high tier.

I run my Kutuzov without superintendent and I do not miss it. It and the Atago are, IMO, not short range cruisers, you want to be at that 12-15km sweet spot where you can dodge poo poo but still hit BBs with every volley and can get hits on jinking DDs. IFHE, Concealment and Demo expert are the must haves, probably in that order. I hate the whole "hide in smoke" meta though so you may think otherwise but for me, the Kutuzov should be going flat out from one island to the next raining hellfire on anyone who looks at you funny.

Hell a Colorado or Nagato might not escape if a DD decides to shadow you for long enough. In those situations cover is your friend, as are your friendlies.

Carrier matchmaking wasn't symmetrical and there weren't a lot of high tier carriers. So we'd have a Hakuryu vs a Taiho and Essex. And that Hakuryu was WARBEASTY.

Played a carrier for the first time in forever and wow, they made it worse. I could swear I used to be able to change my groups, but I can't do that at tier 4 anymore. They also removed manual aiming for tier 4 and 5. Awesome. The worst is that your fighters are absolutely destroyed so if you are against a tier 5 carrier, congrats, all your planes are now hosed and on fire and there is nothing you can do about it.

That's a really bad map to get in an Atlanta, the only place you can go for some semblance of long range cover and short range targets is A, which also happens to be the least relevant cap point if you want to actually win

Also, info from Notser on the Bismarck missions: get a free Bismarck for a relatively easy tier V+ campaign (super easy if you have the Hood). The missions also reward special crates that give you emblems and weird flags like 777% free xp. Get all 24 emblems and you get the battle-damaged bismarck camo. There are duplicate emblems: you trade 4 to "buy" another.

I had a really nice battle in the Bismarck earlier. Some DD completely flubbed his torps at me from his smoke so I chased his out of the smoke and let my secondaries shred him while I gunned down an Ibuki (whose torps I also dodged), then I nuked some errant Pensacola from half health, dick-punched a Colorado who saw me at low health and cockily charged in, only to eat some torps from a DD and a finishing 15k salvo from me, then I finished off the match by ramming their Iowa. 121k damage isn't exactly amazing, but it was just so delightfully  . Sadly I had forgotten to turn Gefore Experience's instant replay thing on.

Provided its not a super heavy tier 10 match at least. Match going poorly? Time to dive in on some people and have them panic while letting secondaries go wild until brought down. Match going well? Do the same!

Blindeye posted:New thread title? I think based on my last game the thread title is still appropriate. Game starts, in my Gneis, follow a Fletcher and Edinburgh into a cap. Fletcher dies to an Udolai and the Edinburgh charges in and doesn't use his smoke. I'm not talking like this Edinburgh took a bad hit and got deleted. No, he weaved and survived and still didn't smoke. When he finally succumbed to the combined gunfire of half a dozen ships there I was alone with a Tirpitz in the cap with no cover. The CV was a troll and didn't launch his planes leading to the Fletcher complaining about him all game after he died. I was able to turn around and leave barely alive, but the Tirpitz charged in. I guess I can't blame him for that although he didn't accomplish anything. At least I was able to run and get some damage in, repeatedly punishing an Atago with citadels and nearly killing him which is hard to do when you have six guns and lovely dispersion. Good God my team didn't do anything right.

BIG HEADLINE posted:If it's a "super easy" T5+ campaign, would the Gremy work as well? I would imagine it is like the science of victory missions that need you to do things in certain ships. Belfast/Gremy can probably do enough missions to get the Bismarck but I would imagine for the super-special skin some BB play is necessary.
