The Omaha isn't bad, you just have to play a standoff fight vs enemy bbs. It can do well vs same tier cruisers, and excels at killing destroyers. |

I used to love playing mine. i'd wreck house in that more than I would in the Murmansk. I haven't had a good game in a month or two in it now in either one. |

French T6 BB Dunkerque is up:
Interesting design. It's got 4x2 turret both up front on the hull. |

It's surprisingly effective. Minekaze and Mutsuki... Not so much. You can't build those things as gunboats because the traverse is bad and the turret arrangement is worse. Hatsu, Fubu, Kagero (B hulls.. C hull is worthless), and surprisingly enough Shima can be pretty effective. You're not gonna win a lot of duels with VMF/USN DDs, but it gives you a fighting chance and the guns are decently punchy. |

If you can't win you might as well have fun. Dodged the first set of torps. Dodged the second set of torps. DD came in for a ram. Blammo! R + T. Secondaries are lighting up the second DD. Kablooey!! Then about 9000 torps hit me in the side to end the game.

Thoughts on Hatsuharu captain skills, especially the 4-point variety? Nothing really seems to suit the ship's attributes except, possibly, the HP increase...Demolition Expert is also a maybe at best as far as I can tell. Not seeing how Advanced Firing Training would be all that useful to a ship that rarely uses its guns, and even less often its AA. What am I not considering here? Currently assuming that there's some aspect I haven't been considering properly. |
