Probably will have less impact than carriers I disagree CV’s have barely impacted legends, sk I imagine if it keeps it ROF it will have a large impact in capable hands.

Even bad players can fly their planes over the map and spot you. They don’t have to deal damage to impact the game

I don't think anyone is complaining about ROF. It's a combo of - screwing up match making at tier 3/4. Barely have had a full game this week. - constant spotting of destroyers and cruisers. - targeting ships with weak aa all game. - general bad gameplay...attacking other carrier instead of doing any spotting or anything else useful.
But back to Minotaur, should be worth it but not sure how we'll get it. Doesn't look to be it will a bureau project from what they said.

Minotaur is at one tier that can only see two different tiers whereas carriers can see 7 different tiers and the lower it goes the more effective it is. You obviously don’t play cl or dd much because a good carrier player will not leave you alone and will constantly spot your torpedos. Granted there are a lot of bad carrier players out there but that doesn’t mean the class it self “has little impact” that’s very naive to say.

On the contrary I enjoy being targeted by CV’s in my DD( except Okhotnik 😁) because teams still ignore the spotted DD and few CV players can seem to hit DD’s

I don’t have issues being targeted in my DD’s most of the time Most CV players can’t hit DD’s consistently. I know there are days I have issues with it. I keep the aircraft busy while the red team does its typical thing and ignores me. Its not stupid, just the experience I have when facing CV’s while in my DD.

Glass. She gets citadeled by half the cruisers in the game at pretty much any angle. VERY difficult ship to do well in, but she has some of the highest potential DPM of any cruiser in the game. Most people you see playing her on PC use Radar instead of smoke, since she demolishes DD's hilariously easily. Do NOT get hit by any guns heavier that 200 MM. She has, I believe, 17mm of armour on her extremities, which is less than most tier X DD's. I have many replays saved dev striking a careless Mino player in my BB's from tier 8+.
She is able to deal significant damage to most ships, even angled ones, courtesy of the improved pen angles and shorter fuses of Brit CL AP. She also has workable torpedos from what I've seen. I personally had no desire to get her though, Zero knows better than I about her. I just know what its like facing her.

If they don’t screw me over on how she’s obtained I plan on getting her reload as fast as possible. I’m not big on using smoke so if radar is available for her on legends I’ll go with that. Grinding silver so I can have a lot of legendary tier matches to meme death in. IIRC I have around 123 mill, not much but it’s a start

Grinding silver so I can have a lot of legendary tier matches to meme death in. IIRC I have around 123 mill, not much but it’s a start She is an exercise of extremes. She deals an extreme amount of DPM, she is extremely dangerous to DD's, she explodes extremely quickly getting shot by AP from any ship in the game at basically any angle. The slightest mistake of any kind by her captain is usually punished by instant obliteration with basically no chance of survival besides pure RNG luck. If you like a challenge and dont mind spending a lot of time browsing other ships in port waiting for the game to end so you can play her again, you'll like her. One of the guys I div with sometimes plays her, he seems to have fun if you survive the first 5 minutes of the round. I'm not sure how she'll fare in the compressed maps of legends, but it could be easier to use her smoke screen to farm damage. Let me know how it goes!

If I get sunk quick I’ll just run my tier 6 premiums to recover my silver loss until it’s available to use again.
I imagine the first few weeks will be expensive silver wise but I have the resources to get both a commander build tailored for it and have enough matches for practice.
The majority of players in legends seem to run themselves on low silver margins and use commander resources as soon as they get them.

Mino is incredibly powerful, but also incredibly high skill ceiling -- positioning is more important than even American CLs, awareness needs to be at DD levels, and no HE means you have to know where to aim. When done correctly, it can have a huge impact on a match. When done poorly, it will be the first ship back to port.
Given the BB heavy meta, it's going to be hilarious watching console players in Minotaurs getting absolutely skull fucked the first few weeks.

Players that buy her outright are going to be in for a rude awakening. Silver cost are going to make it unplayable for many, they can’t afford to learn. good thing I have 142 million to play around with. Wonder what everyone is going to use commander build wise

Well me being an impatient moron bought out the Minotaur campaign.
Good thing is I have a smoke build that gives 4 charges, smoke last for 122 seconds and the cooldown is 107😁

She farms superstructures incredibly well if you position her correctly, from what I've seen. Only had time for a dozen matches or so. Smoke build has been very effective Working on figuring out a good radar build as well. It’s definitely one of my favorite ships in game.
