I like to try and play classes and ships that you dont see very often, because when you do the enemy either does not know what to do with you or they focus you and miss or they focus you and your team is able to come back and bite them in the butt!

Tested her in PT and did 140k damage in my first game. Shred every DD I found in their smoke, got 40k out of a Izumo in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand, they also will chew up and spit out anybody who doesn't absolutely know what they're doing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 anonym_9qa81sg1ET3c Members 757 posts Report post #8 Posted November 20, 2016 I wouldnt trust the stats on that ship at all for a long time. I noticed even before its release it had thousands of games already played which I assume is from testing. Who knows if those were legit games are setups to test out guns and features etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows if those were legit games are setups to test out guns and features etc. Stats on ships being tested do not count at all, except in rare cases. Generally this is a good thing, as I can tell you my stats usually take a beating while testing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 CptInvul Members 11 posts 10,623 battles Report post #15 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Hmm I don't know what to say. Haven't played mine a lot yet, only seven games. Average damage of 109k in it though. My last game was 4 kills 170k damage. Don't really agree with the poor minatour quote so far.
