Holding off on both the Musashi and Roma. Neither one particularly excites me. I have been using some of the premies I pulled from the Santa Crates, tho. Taken out the ‘Bama, Kii, Mutsu, and De Grasse for a few spins. Like them all. The Frenchie feels slightly underwhelming, while the 3 big boys are nice.

Well, the issue I had before magically cleared itself up after an update.

I have gone back to Tier 3 ships.  Tiers 4,5, and 6 were no fun at all.  Kept having to fight ships two Tiers higher than me.  For some reason Tier 3 seems to have the best parity.  Far more fun.

Are any of the U.S. ships any good?  I have not found a DD, CA, or BB which is not outclassed, in the same Tier, by ships from other countries.  I have not gotten very far in the U.S. line.  Tier 6 in BB's, and only Tier 4 in CA, while puddling along at Tier 3 in DD's.

Oh that Tier 3 Nassau BB is fun!

The Omaha is my go to boat in the USN line. Most people dislike her, but she works for me. My most sailed ship. Other USN ships that I feel are good are Benson, Fletcher, Missouri, and St. Louis. That said, I’m up to Pensacola (plus the Indy, Marblehead, and Atlanta ) in CL/CA line. Up to tier 10 in the DD’s. US BB’s, I only have the premiums. Not a fan of the Texas, just haven’t even able to make her work for me. Arky Beta, Arizona, and ‘Bama all seem fine.

I love that they buffed the Beta's secondaries a few patches ago.   In all honestly, she needed it due to her 0 AA.

My clan got our bellybutton handed to us in the first round of kings of the sea today.

I have a few, the cruisers are what I play most often. The Cleveland was the best AFAIAC because the next step up the penny is basically a Cleveland fighting outside it's tier. No real improvements. I play the German cruisers the most in tier 5 and 6. I have them maxed out and the captain is going for a second 4 level perk on each. The rate of fire is great, but the guns are kind of weak and the armor is non existent.

I have gone up to tier 4 in BB's on the US side but they are just SO SLOW, ponderous and with slow turrets and guns. My Wyoming has LOUSY gun handling and accuracy. Keeps me from bothering going any higher.

I have tier 4, 5 and 6 Japanese DD's. Just got the fubuki upgraded to the better torps. Had to free xp them as the grind was just too freaking painful with the 6 km torp range and a 6.8 km detection range. Could never get close enough to launch torps before getting hammered. To be honest the tier 4 and 5 DD's are more fun.

The tier 7 and above cruisers are very good ships, just a different play style than the Cleveland. The Pensacola, New Orleans, and Baltimore have excellent guns. The Des Moines is a monster at tier 10. You just have to be very mindful of what’s going on around you. Don’t show anything your broadside. You can do very good damage to battleships with the AP if they give you a nice broadside to shoot at.

You will not have any speed in the US BB line until you hit NC.  WY, NY, NM, and to some extend, CO have dispersion that will want you to punch a hole through your monitor.   But NC, Iowa and Monty have glorious dispersion.   MO is the most accurate of the US BB's thus far, at least to me.


If you play Penny like Cleveland, you are in for a rude awakening.  She will punish you badly for that.    Not a lot of folks like her, even after the buffs they gave her, but I still enjoy mine quite a bit.  She's very nice in the T7 Op's.


If you want a broken T5 DD, Fujin, Kami and Kami R (which are EXACTLY the same ship in stats) are your "go to" ships (with properly skilled Captain of course).  42s torpedo reload.

I liked the new mex. I liked the Colorado’s 16 inch guns, just couldn’t hit with them. Now if you feel like griping about the us bb dispersion, try the gneisenau.

Mikasa makes Neise appear to have 100% accuracy.

Well, picked up Gnevny today, and I must say I'm honestly surprised by her.  Having all other T6 DD's, I wasn't expecting much, but she really has surprised me.  Her guns are solid with a good RoF and decent arc, and while her torpedoes are very short ranged, they are very fast and hit pretty good.  I'm having fun using her in the Op.

Also, is it just me, or are most of the CV's today kinda...bad, to put it very kindly.  2 runs, the CV was AFK, though in one of those we 5 star'd with TE.  I honestly forgot about him until after we sank everything and was waiting for Raptor.    Most others were just feeding their planes to the Aoba's and Myoko.   I only noticed ONE go for Taka, and only because someone asked him too.  His response: "I usually go for BB first...".  Feh  It's why I almost constantly use CV's in Op's.  Past two days I've yet to place anywhere else but Top while using my CV's, and there were a few matches where I botched my drops (with Indy.  Ryujo spoils me. ).

[Volron]

Well, Narai isn't forgiving for a CV.  That OP is the most difficult OP to CV in, but is doable.  Of all the CV's, I've found Ranger to be the best to use here, despite her manual DB drop being so large.  Her bombers can take a little punishment vs Kaga and Hiryu's, and have that nice torpedo spread for easily dealing with DD's.  Kaga in 2nd, then Hiryu, with Saipan taking up the rear.  I won't use Saipan in this op, as she just isn't flexible enough, not to mention that the forts don't care what tier her bombers are.   MO?  MO like 3 plane squadrons.

Appears lots of folks are having trouble with their CV, as I've had them get pissy when I'm there.  Not that I blame them, as most of the CV's I see are...yeah.  I rather they were AFK, they'd get more done.   So now I'm pushing a lot of Ranger matches in Narai. 


I picked up Roma a few days ago, but only got 2 matches in her so far.  She's interesting, but still trying to peg her.  Once Narai drops, I'll do more matches in Roma to get a solid feel of her.  But what I have noted from just those two matches are her secondaries are quite squishy.

I found the Wyoming to be a great BB. Had no trouble outfighting German BBs and, well, Myogi is a joke. British BBs weren't in yet when I went through her.  I understand that Orion is a nasty package.

I would have kept Wyoming if I didn't have Arkansas Beta.
