what skill for last 4 point in grosovoi

[centarina]

I am doing pretty well with grosovoi.    almost got the torp upgrade, but running it mostly as gunship. 

 

PT, AR, LS, BFT, DE and AFT

 

I now have 3 point saved up and going for last point  .   so what should I buy with last 4 point?

 

1) Manual AA.     it does have good AA, so this kinda makes sense since I have it setup with DF. 

2)  CE            well stealth isn't as important since 6.5km isn't that great vs 7.2km , but still nice to have.

3)  SI+PM     extra smoke and df

4) Vig+PM     I seem to hit torps more due to less agility and size.

I don't have one yet, but recently I was thinking about the same thing. I think it's gotta be between option 2 and option 3... Manual AA I can't tell if it's strong enough to actually shoot anything down, especially T10 planes, in which case DF is all u need to prevent yourself from getting wrecked in a drop. I personally don't like Vigilance; I feel like it never makes a difference for me - if I'm getting wrecked by torps, I'm getting wrecked by torps.

 

Between 2 and 3 it might come down to playstyle - I've heard the Groz plays similar to Gearing but trades better ballistics for less concealment - if that's actually the case, and you're using the smoke a lot, 3 makes sense. 2 might make more sense if you're contesting caps a lot, and/or maybe for having a bit of an extra buffer to stealth torp?

I will preface my remarks by saying that I do not have the Grozovoi. I have the Tashkent, and the Udaloi, and have not had Udaloi for very long. So, having explained that my comments should be taken with a large dash of salt: I recommend Concealment Expert. In my opinion, something that helps you...

 

- Get closer before you open fire

- Disengage more easily

- Move around the map more freely

 

... is the most important factor. But that is based on my play style. Yours may vary considerably, of course.

there have been time or two where having extra smoke would have been nice, so I am leaning more toward option 3, but I did run CE first (when I had the captain on ognevo)  with AFT.  I redid the stat during half price sale so I have more firepower and I seem to do better.(flamu build also has SI/PM )         CE still didn't allow me to contest  cap against US DD and I had to push into IJN  . (and if they fire at all, I got them)    torp reload is way too slow to be good torp boat (I am still on 8km torps)

I went with CE. Ive only 18 games in grozovoi so far but the stealth is important. Its true you are still  out spotted, but with the lower detection its more likely the enemy will move into detection range.

 

I also like the low air detection which allows for sneaky defensive fire useage.
