Thanks Yurei! Merry Christmas! I've always fought with the idea of getting Borodino but never took the plunge. Her guns are dangerous. She has sub 200m dispersion at 19.6km's, which is extremely accurate. Her pen, velocity and damage are all extreme. These things immediately reminded me of Slava's guns. I started off by hitting a cit on North Carolina, first salvo of the game. Missouri was full bow on to me, but that didn't matter. Every salvo hit for at least one pen and crippled a turret. I caught Roon in a turn at 19km's for a citadel too. Did I mention that Borodino has 12km radar? This is my first ever game in her. Tier 10 but I never felt I couldn't hurt something I shot at.

This is sort of the story of the teams today. I couldn't do anything more myself to try and win this game. I eventually got focused down by the reds because I was smashing their team. Frustrating, but at the same time I did my best and that's all you can do sometimes. Vanguard is a blast to play by the way. She has fantastic gunnery with high pen AP rounds and Monarch's HE shells on a 26 second reload.

Well, I'm in love. This may very well be my favorite ship in game. Do NOT get hit by Shikishima's guns, if at all possible. Just don't do it. If you hear thunder in the distance, aggressively maneuver. It may save your life. Yoshino made a mistake and tried to stop behind an island, but went too far. He ate 4 cits. Montana then tried to sail in front of him to block for him, give him time to escape. He ate a cit and a couple of other shells. De Moines was turning to avoid torps and beached himself at a 90 degree angle to me. I cit him through the stern, all 27,000 dmg in a single salvo, but he survived at 2k HP. Our opposite flank by this time had folded and I started taking focused fire from the enemy team, which is common in Shikishima. Everyone wants her dead, for good reason.

Well, the teams today were absolute brutally bad. This is my final game for the morning here. The game was telling me very clearly that I need to give up for the day, because there is no way it will allow me to win. No matter how hard I tried, there was no way I could win this game.

Well, I got Tone out of a Mega container. Why did I not buy this ship sooner?! Even without her planes, she is a very powerful ship. She has 8 excellent, accurate Japanese 203mm guns with high HE damage, pen and fire chance. She has a repair party, just like Atago. 10km torpedos that hit for 19,900 dmg per torp. Did I mention that her concealment range is only 8.8 km's? This is my first ever game in her and boy did I have fun. Her planes are roughly the same as Ise's so I didnt spend that much time in them. Her guns are absolutely brutal though, since you have 4/5ths the firepower of an Atago. She can stealth torp too! I wish I'd bought her sooner!

Old stuff I've been meaning to post: First off, so many cits!!! In coop of coarse. Still thought it was cool. In this one I was just surprised I got so many medals. In ranked of all things.

For once I was king of losers in ranked and got to keep my star! Also my first High Caliber medal. Here I just generally kicked ass and topped the leaderboard in ranked, this time on the winning team! Best Le Fantasque game, it was a loss but you could say I torp farmed some BBs! Thought you got an achievement for 15-16 torp strikes?

La Fantasque was fun, Mogador on the other hand took ALOT of getting used too. I think I'm getting the hang of it though! It was a loss but I'm getting better at staying alive and learning when to open fire. I feel like I do best with the french DD line becuase it allows me to play aggressive like I want but gives me the speed to get the hell out of dodge when the actions too hot. Super rewarding when the stars aling and you have a good game!

So this Sprint has been easier than any before this. Grinding out Kleber gave me a bunch of DD experience. Just learning a different playstyle and basically no concealment for a DD gave me more confidence for ranked battles too! I think I've lost maybe 4 games and won my 12 and got all my rewards stress free! After an early death in my Halland I hopped in my Shima and moved on to the next battle trying not to take the loss to hard and hoping I could regain my lost star. It was the same map (shards) so I told myself to just stay back and spot. The enemy team made it easy and pushed without DD support. Atleast on my side of the map. I just made sure I didn't get radared and farmed damage with my torps and capped bases after the reds had fallen back. I'll try again Monday and see if I can rank higher than level 4 instead of just settling for the rewards.

Go after DDs with the skip bombers that seems to be it's calling. It' also supposed to have better fighters too.

So the Bearn is most assuredly one of the weakest CVs at tier VI, as she has no torps at all. That said, this is my best game to date and I worked for it: Go after DDs with the skip bombers that seems to be it's calling. It' also supposed to have better fighters too. She’s definitely the best CV for DD hunting right now. The skip bombers are very accurate and can cripple DDs quickly. She’s also got a bunch of deployable fighters, but they really aren’t suited for Coop or operations. Oddly enough, the AP dive bombers are accurate but the bombs overpen like crazy on many BBs. I wish you could swap out dive bombers for torp planes on this CV.

What a gorgeous, fun ship Dunkerque to play. I am so glad I finally decided to buy her last year. I average more damage in Dunk than I do my Bismarck! I tried very hard in this game but there was no way we were winning. The enemy team had too much of a point advantage. I pushed up and capped the final 2 points to try for the win, but the enemy Z-31 ran to the edge of the map and hid until time expired. Solid play by our team, we just weren't able to close it out. I love this ship!

Got an early access ship through amazon prime, the Turbine. It's nothing to get excited about. The gun range is shorter than the detection range, and they have a slow reload; same with the torps. It does have smoke at tier 4 though. Still made the best of it with the 6 pt commander in my one battle in it so far. Just went straight to randoms and did pretty good. I died but I was killing the CV instead of capping the base and playing it safe.

Awesome Coop game in the Gearing. It's been growing on me lately. Nice "all round" DD. Plenty of torps, that hurt. Plenty of pew pew to fight other DDs and pester other ships. Finally decent AA, not Hallad AA but enough to annoy planes.

A few heartbreakers from console shooty botes. My stunning ability to get Krakens in losses apparently carried over from PC. (Related: HOLY SHIT the Cali is god tier on console. Just so damn good.) This was a personal damage record for me on either system (at least in a random match). I've been playing ships and lines I didn't on PC, and man ... I adore the Tennessee. It's a Cruiser Delete Button.
