masterpine posted:How do you find it as a credit maker? Current T8 hell matchmaking is making my usual Alabama money farming a bit of a pain. Have got 400k FXP that i was slowly accruing with the goal of the next T9 stuff like the Alaska, Nelson is really tempting though. not as good as T8 but I turn a profit even in garbage rounds with premium consumables. e: It's my most-played ship by a wide margin and I have a 60% win rate in it. I was saving for one of the T9 free xp ships and got the Azure Lane Nelson commander from that event and said screw it and got the Nelson. Haven't regretted it for a second. That commander was what a 6-point? It became by first 19-point commander this evening. I caused an Atlanta captain to freak out at me in game chat because I slowly advanced towards him, ate a poo poo ton of HE spam damage, sank him, and then nonchalantly healed most of the damage back.

Alright, I know this is pve, but whatever. Has anyone figured out the choice ships for this ultimate frontier operation? I tried kaga, but I'm bad at cvs and it spawns with the cruisers and DDs which means you have to make a dash to the atoll to really get to work with the planes. I tried DoY, but discovered that 30s and slow turret traverse don't work well with the number of ships that race and converge at once. I tried atlanta initially which was ok, but still ended up getting my butt handed as there wasn't enough weight in the damage overall. Tried scharn which was an improvement over the DoY, but still struggled. Also, battleships I'm finding don't work because they have a hard time moving around the map as needed. Finally, I tried fiji. This was perhaps my more successful plays, but I still felt a large struggle with it. I haven't tried DDs yet, so might give it a whirl next, but curious how others feel would be choice ships. Maybe a helena? I don't have that ship as I already have a cleveland, but perhaps wait for that south american helena with the heal to play this operation?

TUF is a pretty hard operation. I've had consistent success in the Fiji, Scharnhorst, and KGV but more than other operations you really have to rely on your teammates being on the ball.

Believe it or not but the ranger actually works really well on TUF. I did my ranger entirely on that operation to avoid ever having to take it into a random battle.

Atlanta, Helena, Abruzzi if you have it, Indianapolis isn't bad for some heavy cruiser punch. For BB, I really like the Lyon in it, I've had pretty consistent 200k games. The problem is I can't depend on my other BB to hit shots or the cruisers to not charge the bots, and the bots focus fire and have laser accuracy, so I repeatedly 3 and 4 star it. I haven't been able to hit 5 yet with a pub team. But yeah, like someone else said, you have to rely a lot more on your teammates to have some level of competency, and most don't.

At the risk of becoming a broken record I also have amazing success in the Nelson. The super heal really comes in handy with all the HE spamming cruisers.

From my BB experiences, I found the he spam to be fairly light, but the torpedo spam to be pretty heavy. This is probably because none of my teams could aim. I had a match where we lost a battleship early on because he/she decided to sail right off to the carrier and discover it has 4 destroyers on picket duty around it. And far as I could tell in my kaga match, the carrier trundles off to the north whiel the DDs stay behind, so the person should have waited. Other than that, It is just a lack of people shooting the DDs at a proper enough range. I'm also starting to think that heal station is a pubbie trap that everyone goes to and hugs so they are left sniping some of the waves on course for the atoll.

Man, the Cleveland is kicking my rear end. I’m averaging 80+k per battle and I have a 39% win rate over twenty battles. I had a 190k tier ten game loss last night. I really like the ship but having to play so risk adversely is making it impossible to carry. Is the Worcester similarly dependent on the vagaries of the matchmaker?

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:the repair station is absolutely a pubbie trap I only have a New Orleans available for doing the operation and had a game where I rushed the repair station because I took a bunch of damage dealing with the first Dallas and got sniped by the first spawn group (and the northern Omaha a bit, only had 1 BB in the match.) Once I was done repairing, I got out of the base and started going around and doing stuff. Not so much the two atlanta's on my team, one who wasn't even damaged but stuck close to there anyway, probably to help deal with the DD's that rush it. The Ranger took a few hits from the first spawn group and sat in there for a long while. We lost the Aerodrome because most of the team was faffing around the repair base dealing with the south spawns and I was headed east since that's where the last group spawned in my previous attempt. This time that group spawned west and got close enough to the objective to snipe it. At least 2-starring it is pretty easy and there's no 10 point captain for the 4 star

The first time, it was Omaha torps that got me. Man, I was NOT used to thinking of US CAs as being torp-carriers. Still finished it. I like Atlanta for the operation, because your rapid-fire five inch guns just rain hell on the enemy if you have IFHE loaded.

The real comedy? Le Terrible was the specific Le Fantasque-class that set the world speed record for destroyers at 45kts - it's literally like the iconic thing about that specific ship. And loving WG hasn't even given her that? Nope, better to nerf yet another high speed destroyer's actual performance to not infringe on the on the completely imaginary speed of the RU line.

I dunno, that surface detectability is amazing. You aren't going to be contesting caps. And in fact, should be running the other way from them. Sadly though, the 11km main gun range means there isn't even that much of a window between can fire and will be spotted with guns off. Torps are also 9km, so lot of very narrow windows.

Obviously we'll have to see it in action, but it seems like it's going to have better ballistics than the Aigle at least.

WG has stated that no ship is going to have a base speed of over 43 knots, though I can't find the source. I just remember seeing it once. But yeah, I doubt this is going to get the crazy speedboost either, that'd be a bit absurd to see a ship going 55+ knots.
