I mostly do Operations and Co-Op however, with a lot of focus on the Op's.  If you are looking to 5 star an Op, I can help you.

Same handle in both games. OlTanker. It is OldTanker just without the d. I am on in the daytime (11:00 - 1800 Central time) not the entire time, just that is the time span I will be likely to log in and play a while. I don't play in the evenings, spending time with the wife.

Well, through crates from the missions, I got the T5 French BB mission.    If I were to have a complaint though, it would be that it wasn't the T6 French BB, so I could use her in the Op's.

The Aigle is proving to be fun to me.  While her guns have some interesting arcs, when you can get them all on target, they perform well and her torpedoes hit like a truck dropped from orbit.  Too bad they are kinda short ranged (7k) for her concealment (7.5k w/o CE).

As for Roma, she's a fun ship.  Her turret traverse allows you to move around and not wait until the Earth turns to dust before you can get them on target and her AA is okay, but oh boy, do her secondary guns melt if someone sends a gentle fart in your direction.  An Atlanta raked my Roma from nose to tail and took out 2 of my secondary guns, one of them was a big gun.  These are bots not running skills.  If it were a human player with IFHE, I'd likely of lost more.  Some of you remember CBT Atlanta Turrets?  Think that with Roma's secondaries.

I got the T6 French BB, and oh boy, she has the WORST dispersion, period.  Every other T6, STOCK, has better dispersion, and this is with a fully upgraded Normandie.  I really prefer Bretagne over Normandie, because her dispersion is much better.  But, Normandie is quick off the line (for a BB), and has very good maneuverability.  She feels average when it comes to tanking and while she has a lot of secondaries, they are not as accurate as I was expecting.

One thing I'm finding about the French AP shells are, they overpen, a LOT.....on EVERYTHING.  I ended up flanking the Izzy in Newport with Normandie, at 12k and closing, I kept overpenning.  Her dispersion is so bad, that even at sub 8k I had trouble hitting Izzy's citadel, and hits I did land, overpenned.  I decided to use HE in my next run and saw better results overall, but French HE is meh.  Least the damage was more consistent.  This applies to Bretagne as well, but not as bad.  Her AP is more reliable.

I'm going to let Fem talk...



She got one thing wrong, currently GZ's DWT's CANNOT hit cruisers.  It's on the tool tip, which you can see at 2:39, but also that I've been unable to hit them in matches myself.  I just tested it in the Training Room as well (in case I really did miss), and I couldn't hit a single cruiser.  So keep this in mind if you have access to her right now and simply missed it.

Now, this is what GZ should've been when they first released her, she's significantly better than her original.  There are a couple of things I am hoping for, they increase her secondary range to 7k and add 1.5k to her hydro for ships and torpedoes.

As for her DWT's not hitting cruisers, they do insane damage to what they can hit, and almost every single time, cause flooding.  So I can understand that a little, but, given how close you need to get, the slow and short range of the torpedoes, the pattern of the drop, and the speed of the bombers, I honestly think they should keep the DWT's damage and flooding chance, and allow them to hit cruisers.  But if they keep them from hitting cruisers, eh, so be it.

Well, I have been having a lot of fun with the Nassau.

Had a great game this weekend where a Wyoming and my Nassau were the last two ships left.  The Wyoming had nearly full health and I was down about 33%.  I was sweating bullets over that.  The Wyoming guns easily outmatch the Nassau in a long distance fight.

But, we ended up our last battles within 4K of each other and an island between us.  We had the points, so I decide I was just going to go for the ram, figuring it would be my best shot, if I had a shot at all.

Well, low and behold, the Wyoming turns toward the island, so I do to.  At about 2.5K we had to break and I waited to see which way he was going.  I turned to meet him.

I figure he was being a bit too over confident given our ships and relative health.  I pointed the Nassau straight at where I thought he would emerge from behind the island.  Sure enough he did and we were 1.5K apart.  He fired his volly and knocked about 10% off my health.  I got 5 rounds of my volly into his broadside and knocked about 25% of him to the floor.

Meanwhile the Nassua secondaries were hammering him.  He then made the fatal error or turning away from me.  I had his bow and a bunch of guns to hit him with.  He tried to turn a couple of times then I broadsided him.  In then end I got him.

Moral of the story: Never present your bow to a Nassau when nearly deck to deck.

I have had a lot of luck charging Myogi's, Orions, and Wyomings.  Not the Kaiser though.  She can hurt, quick.

I have given up on the U.S. BB line.  I have a New Mexico just wasting a slot away.  They might be good in their Tier, but I have never been in a game where I was not fighting BB's 3 tiers higher than me, until I switched to the Nassau.  I kid you not.  The first game I played in the Mexico, I was top tier ship, and the other side have an Iowa for the top tier.  I was dead in 3 volly exchanges and did not scratch him.
In the Nassau, I am usually going against like tier ships or one higher.  Makes for much more fun.

If I ever decide to try CV's, then I will go U.S.

Use your NM in the Op's.  You'll be able to push through her fairly quick there.  Once you hit CO, if you don't like her that much, you can push through her in the T7 Op's when they swing around.  CO is slow, and she soaks the damage up rather than deflecting it.  With her, you are going to run into T9's more often than with NM as well.  NC on the other hand, can bow tank much better than CO, just expect the occasional T10.

For USN CV's, T4 and 5 you should do fine, but T6 and up and you'll see the IJN CV's run away on damage.  T7 and T8 will always have 2 fighters against your 1, unless Hiryu, Shokaku and Kaga run are running the stock mod.  At T9 and 10, you'll get 2 fighters back, but your TB's stay T8.  Not to mention that they have nerfed Midway's fighters, so you'll have at max, T9 fighters.

Sorry, I meant, you will get 2 fighters at T9 and 10.  You only have 1 fighter with the other tiers.

Seems pretty obvious there is a rather blatant anti US bias in the game. Most of the ships are pretty poor performing compared to the other countries. The notable exception being the Cleveland.

I haven’t found a BAD US ship yet, they just aren’t as idiot proof as some others that’s for sure.

The cleveland used to be insane but was nerfed due to stomping too many other ships into dust.

They're planning on eventually moving it up a few tiers and buffing it
