The "refit" they have it wearing implies that she made it to at least 1945. Look how different Nagato and Fuso are compared to their original forms in the 1910's and when they sank. What WG did here was literally take the 1925 hull and slap 1945 AA on it, which is dumb and doesn't make sense for the IJN. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Important we get this. Those torps look like fun, catching players unawares, especially in the first few weeks after it goes on sale :=) Nice video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of eye candy that round. Yes, that was me. I fired the torps because I thought you were going to die sooner, but my heart started racing once I saw you were healing and weren't dying. Too close, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
915 [--V--] SeaborneSumo Members 1,602 posts 14,841 battles Report post #13 Posted September 5, 2017 Not seeing anything special about this BB for me to want to purchase. I wanted to get the Mutsu because she was basically a Nagato with 16" guns at T6. She's special and her performance is excellent if you look at T6 BB stats. Unfortunately I missed the purchase window. This is just an Amagi. I have one and very, very rarely play her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Amagi's a great ship. I'd like the Kii even if she were a bit worse than the Amagi. Besides, we finally get a high tier IJN BB trainer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was shocked I stayed afloat as long as I did. Anyways, wouldn't have card if you hit me.

2,298 [A-D-F] alexf24 Members 7,879 posts 44,766 battles Report post #21 Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks for the info and opinion Zoup. I have Amagi and Tirpitz (which I like) and I have Mutsu (which I don't like). Looks like this one will be a pass for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm waiting for 797 to hit the game as a reward. 24x2 100mm DP guns, 500 5.0km AA DPS. Sure, there's basically no room for MG AA, but when you have more AA DPS than a Des Moines, it really doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
