So what's the deal with the Russian destroyers? They have such short torpedo range. How I Russia?

Gnevny is a fun DD. I love hunting down and clubbing DDs to death. All you have to do is trick IJN DDs into launching their torps and then it's over for them. And if you do that, they're also using torps on you rather than on a BB on your team.

Locked by rank, yes. The game will let you know when you've unlocked captain skills.

I wish there was a way to reset my warships.today stats. I bought the Atago back when I started the game so I alternated between tiers I-IV and the Atago. I did awfully with the Atago early on, but I feel I'm doing a lot better now. My Atago stats are all below the average though.

Otherwise, it says I'm "good" with cruisers. Go me.

I bought the Atago when I started playing. I must've done really, really badly early on. If you look at the more recent stats, my Atago is a little above average. I love that ship.

From what I saw, five Russian cruisers are real versus five German cruisers.

I'm not sure why everyone wants the Royal Navy so badly. Yes, the Russian navy wasn't especially relevant until the Cold War. But the Royal Navy was only relevant if you consider getting a whole bunch of ships sunk in every ocean across the globe relevance.

First two games in the newly bought Admiral Hipper, and while it feels like a fun boat, the games went terribly.

I think mostly because T8 and onwards is a very tough place to be a cruiser. You'll often see t8, t9, and t10 battleships, DDs, and CVs - more than t6 or t7 - and you're the lowest on the totem pole.

You're not a realistic counter for DDs at these tiers, battleships at this tier can delete you, same with CVs as your AA can only deal with same tier or below. Even if you AA spec, the amount of planes will eventually get through.

This leads to having to 'escort' BBs as your only resort, and if they're full on max range sniping, you'll have a disappointing game.

summary - t8-t10 games are boring and have dumb meta

If you're playing as an escort cruiser, you're not always guaranteed to be around competent battleships. Sometimes you get meandering idiots and sometimes you get suicidal morons. I'm starting to really hate tier 8+ games. I love my Atago and Tirpitz, but I find myself playing tier 5 stuff more and more.

The Tirpitz is actually a special kind of hell. I feel like to play a good Tirpitz, you want to be at medium range, but most of the time, I can't get people to support me and stop hanging back.

I actually like the Pensacola. Maybe it's because I'm used to Japanese CAs and I zig-zag away. The Pensacola can bring the pain though. I like that.

Fubuki captain skills are something I've been trying to work out. I took Superintendent rather than Torpedo Acceleration.

Warspite and Campbelltown were for sale on the Asia server. Any chance they may be coming back to the US? I regret not picking up the Warspite.

Last Stand for the Koenigsberg--yes or no? I'm having difficulty deciding between that or the turret turn time reduction.

kaesarsosei posted:

Koenigsberg and Nurnberg rudder/engine are notoriously fragile so I would say if you are going to keep the captain in them, Last Stand. But from Yorck onwards thats not an issue so Expert Marksman IMO. Yorck turrets were buffed and are much faster than Myoko, but Yorck IMO is one of the best DD hunters and every turret speed buff helps.

It's just gonna be a Koenigsberg captain, so I think I'll go with Last Stand.

It's pretty much a T7 New Orleans isn't it? It's very much a regular US Heavy Cruiser rather than a weird hilarious gimmick the Atlanta is.

I thought it's armor was more on par with the Pensacola? From what I've seen, it doesn't seem to be as durable as the New Orleans.

No, the Missouri wasn't reactivated during the Gulf War. The Iowas were reactivated during Reagan's and Lehman's push for a 600-ship navy. She'd already been reactivated when the Gulf War happened.

So it was done to pad out the numbers of ships?

By armor of form, do you mean compartmentalization to provide a rugged ship that can take damage without succumbing instantly?
