only had 1 game in it. loved it. flamed a musashi then turn around to spammed 15 torps at him while all at the same time getting shot at by it and 2 other cruisers. musashi used repair on the 4 fires I had on him, but then 2 of the torps hit and flooding, and as they put it, the rest is history.... it might just be a once in a lifetime game, but hey, it was all smooth sailing for me for a change in a t8 cruiser. not the most spectacular t8 cruiser game I have ever had, but certainly 1 of the easiest if not the easiest. If I didn't know better, it might just be the t8 version of the fully upgraded zao.... 10.8 km detection range with 13.5 km 17k damages......

You can always give the 2 tier 10 Russian cruisers a shot. The tier 9 premium Russian cruiser is also a valid candidate for your fast attacking battlecruiser play style....

Any of them, especially the American ones, that can hide behind the island and lob shells and not get hit in return. Those are the ones I hate. Anything else, as long as my shells can get to, are fair game. And not a problem for me.

I don't think the premium captain that can go on any ships without paying the cost will ever happen. It's not to WG's benefit to do so. In my opinion, there are couple of reasons: 1. To get the full skills, you will need to pay doubloons. That's money making source for WG. 2. After paying the 200k credits to allow your captain to function at half capacity, you still need to play a few games to bring the captain up to par, that means every time you play to get the captain fully functional, you are contributing to be active in queue. That means more people playing and helps reduce the queue time. I think these 2 reasons alone kills off any chance of having a premium captain. Of course, WG could in theory come up with a premium captain subscription service, similar to premium time that will let you have a captain or two that can transfer to any ship at full functional capacity. But then you will have another player group screaming and b**ching about pay to win thing. With that in mind, WG will probably just keep everything as it is and not have to deal with the hassle.

the most expensive single ship bundle WG has ever released $148......

The general exp on a premium ship is almost worthless unless you do a lot of free exp conversions. But if you play this game on a regular basis, chances are you got plenty of general exps in various ships that you can't upgrade anymore. So as much as +200% general exps bonus sounds good, it's almost meaningless.....
