They have removed Tirpitz. It's now a premium limited ship.

Yup I'm stuck with Pensacola as well. Compared to Cleveland, its a much bummer. Then again i'm looking forward to Des Moines. May be going get a premium account to boost things up. Else, just use doubloon to convert all the other ships XP to premium XP.

Anyone started with the rank wars? Seems like its more interesting than random battle. People actually working as a team to win the battle.

Which class are you saying now? I mean playing as priority

pensacola

is new orlean harder to play compared to pensacola?

What's the difference?

just use cleveland n play. more guns, more rapid fire. easy peasy..

Baron and slickbee? He survive the kamikaze ram

Ship
------
Hull - increase health and live longer
Main battery - increase rate of fire since you have more guns and fire fast
Mk6 mod 2 - not really important but it's better than none


Captain
---------
Situation Awareness - useful to detect DD or possibly enemies gunning on you
Basic firing training - increase rate of Fire
Expert marksman - compensate ship main battery's degradation.
Vigilance - see and evade Torps early. Normally I use it to hunt DD. In fact I hunt them more than CA

Next is up to your preference.
(Me) demolition expert - need more fire damage since Your damage is lesser when hitting BB. Fire is a good to burn them alive. Compensate AP damage on BB as well since you can't penetrate their thick hull

(Other recommendation) Advance firing training - good if you're good in shooting. The further it is, the harder its to aim. Plus point is you get to snipe the. From slightly further distance.

Lastly
Concealment expert - great runaway or ambush skill
(Alternatively) last chance - good for fighting to death


Ship upgrades
-----------------
Defensive AA- trigger this to hunt for fighters. I personally hammered 3 squadrants in a single defense.
Catapult fighter is only good if you need to fish DDs in fog. Just leave the default.

Hope this helps.

Damn.. its hard to grind through new orleans.. I guess things will get even harder on Baltimore.. how i wish i can buy my way to get the des moines..

Yeah.. i know.. bought a lot of doubloons to purchase ports and keep a garage of ships already.. My card is already blocked.. too lazy to call the call center to unblock wargaming from their list.

hahaha.. i just closed my RHB account.. few k got suspended due to no activities on account..

anyways.. I'm still thinking on whether to buy atlanta.. its a cool ship.. but too vunerable.. i missed purchasing tripitz

It's the only ship which is a BB, with heal with torps, and slightly invincible.

Nah.. if I spend the money on Atlanta, better spend it on gearing.. I fear gearing more than Atlanta. Rapid fire while remain stealth.

Rm200 is not that bad tbh

really? where?

yikes.. how come they were not release? can we activate em?

btw you guys play in a team?

Whats the plan? BB or cruiser to spam for damage?

They've changed the rotation and reload guns to 135mm and below.. previously you can use it because its 155mm and below which cleveland fits the requirement.

once they've reset, I've stopped playing the lower tier ships.. now on baltimore.. still a long way to des moines... but I envy those who have gearing. my god, 20 shots per minute.. 2sec reload

what kind of GC are you guys running? I'm still using 4870 with 720p screen, Sob Sob

whats your max resolution? 4k? 40-50fps is a bit little. was expecting more from 970
