So how are we liking the Royal Navy battleships?  Freakin annoying HE spammers imo.

I'm only up to KGV, though it took me hardly anytime to get QE through to KGV.  Operations FTW.   But the Operations are also why I haven't really made a lot of progress on KGV and beyond.

RN BB HE is not something to thumb your nose at.  They hit hella hard and seem to start fires as a reasonable rate, so it's no surprised you see most just use HE.  They seem squishier vs the other BB lines though.  I already plan on picking up Conqueror as my next T10 regardless.

Well, I'm finding the Deep Water Torpedoes from Graf Zeppelin to be quite nice against BB's.  It only takes a few to melt a LOT of HP.   I'm hoping they don't change the secondary accuracy on the Graf Zeppelin like has been on the test ship.  It's a little worse than her original.

My Ryujo Captain hit 19pt today, all through the Scenarios.  When they first came out, he was only 6pt.   And to top it off, she now has 525k of xp on her.  Needless to say, I use her here and there for the Scenarios.

I've never even bothered with carriers. I watched a few videos on how to play them and it just didn't appeal to me.

How is the GZ since they re worked her?  Not many people had anything good to say about her.

The original isn't super bad, though you still saved money not getting her.  I'm using a test version of her, and as you may have guessed, they gave her TB's with deep water torpedoes.  I still have the original.

Her current test version...needs work.  You have ZERO counter to DD's with air since you have nothing but deep water torpedo bombers.

Well, the first Halloween Scenario was like the original last year, minus a couple of minor changes.  Hectic, but fun.  Harder than Newport, that's for damn sure.  But this 2nd one...once you start firing, you simply do NOT stop.  It's like Newport x5....on crack...and pcp...and steroids...and meth.

I have only 5starred once. Too many suicide DDs and cruisers. My single 5 star I was carrier and had the odd combo of 4 BB, 1 DD, 1 CA. And we got the good spawn on Rasputin that is way north of the filth.

I've also only been able to 5 star it once.  There were two other times, where we were within a minute of completing when a tower fell.  Both times I had gone out and solo'd Gorgon, once with Svyatozar and the other with Magnu-s, and both times the CV had burned ALL of their heal early.  It was fine when I was still up, but the moment I was sunk, bots focused down a tower.   At least those two USED their skills.  MOST of the CV's I run into, don't use them AT ALL.   But the real kicker, the one time I did 5 star it, CV never used a skill.  We basically carried that CV, cause he did bugger all.

I doubt I will top my best though, which was in Magnu-s: 980 secondary hits, 1359742 Damage, 2984 BXP.   The catch, it was one of the 4 star matches.

Best if gotten is 4 and both times I’ve gotten 4 I solo killed the great googamooga or whatever it is. Nobody can comprehend that your heals actually make it easy to fight in the mist. The CA radar and BB heals make it pretty easy.

Yep, especially with Magnu-s.  Her heal REALLY shines once you've done a bit of damage and coupled with her invulnerability, which recharges very quickly, you can do insane amounts of damage.

I've solo'd Gorgon in all 3 ships, though it's tricky with Urashima.  If Gorgon spawns away from you, her secondaries make your life hell before you can get into position.  But it's very doable.

Oh!  US CA line split. 

[gewehr]

Woot!!! Stoked about the split. Stopped at the Pepsicola in beta. Wasn’t a fan at all. Currently, Omaha is my highest non-premium US CL/CA. Have the Indy and Atlanta, also.

Cleveland in CBT was broken.  They nerfed her heavily (for obvious reasons), but now she'll be resrtored.

I'm curious to exactly what ships I will need to work on.  I'm thinking the obvious, the new ships, though I'm wondering if I'm going to have to work for the restored Cleveland.

I have everything from Cleveland to Des Moines, though I'm thinking about picking up Omaha just to ensure no funny business.

[branch37]

The only US CAs I kept were the St Louis and the Cleveland. Currently working on Baltimore.

Well that is a bit of a surprise...

French BB's are showing up in the dev blogs.  I was honestly hoping to see Italian BB's first, but I'm certainly not complaining!
