Kutuzov, Missouri, or Musashi

[JohnnyDebt]

So here's the thing, I bought the Kutuzov and after 80 battles or so, I have a love/hate relationship with her. She's strong when there's no one  aiming at her. If she’s pushed by other ships, especially with the smoke nerf, she gets deleted almost instantly. She also very reliant on teammates and scales on how competent her teammates are. With 49% wr, decent dmg and pr, I want to love her but I just can’t. By comparison, my Belfast after 150 game is 64% wr, decent PR and dmg. So my question is this, if I sell her, I get 10,250 doubloons. Combine with that with the doubloons and free xp that I currently have. I should get very near the Missouri or Musashi assuming Musashi is another fxp t9 ship like Missouri. My question is should I do it or no?

No.

It's up to you. I don't love Kutusov (or the Russian cruisers in general), but it is a good ship, unique and useable enough that I won't sell her because I might use her. Especially since I can't ever get her back. You can always spend more time getting free xp to get Missouri or Musashi. If you don't like Kutusov and are absolutely sure you will never play her again, get rid of her. (For example, I disliked every minute I played in Perth and I had no regrets selling her back.)

Keep Kutuzov, is a really good ship and probably will never be sold again. 

[Morpheous]

Saved my free XP for like 4 months, and go Missouri.... and it was worth every day I saved for it.

[LordMoros]

keep the kutuzov, it will very likely never be sold again.

Part of your dislike may be that you have very little experience in Russian cruisers. With only 22 games in Kirov and 26 in Budyonny you will likely not have the skill set to play the Kutuzov well. My suggestion would be to hang on to Kutuzov, play Budyonny, Shchors, and Chapayev for a while, and then return to Kutuzov with new skills and an appreciation for what the ship can do. No need to hurry. Could be done over the next year. But I would hang on to the Kutuzov long enough to be certain you are not getting rid of a ship you might love with a little more experience in the Russian CA line. Once you get rid of it, there will be no way to get it back.

I have both. I would not give up the Kutuzov. Just keep grinding towards the Big Mo

You can keep earning Free XP for Missouri, Nelson, or whatever else comes down the line.  I would assume Free XP ships are available for a long time (if not always) since the Mighty MO is still available and has no rumors of going away.

Kutuzov, however, is gone.  Can't get her back, no matter how much Free XP you hoard.  I would think about that long and hard before you make your decision.

Several have already said it I'll repeat it "Keep the Kutuzov, it will very likely never be sold again."

[LancerUlysses]

Don't sell him, grind the Missouri anyway, do it all!

 

[slokill_1]

     I play RN CL fairly well (for me that is) and I wish I'd bought the Kutuzov. 

     It's the only premium I regret not buying, and I only have the Campbell so I usually don't care either way.

     Don't sell it ever.

[HillRock1]

It is all up to you. If you do not like Kutuzov, you will probably not play her anymore. Why not take the chance to sell it and get other ship you like.

[Kapitan_Wuff]

It's your ship, do whatever you want. Sell one of the most OP boats that can never be re-bought if you want, the smoke changes really didn't effect it much but whatever.

[Panzer1113]

Sorry, I sold my Kut and kept my Belfast.  Don't have enough time to play all my prems anyway, and I enjoy the Belfast much more.  Plus, tier 8 MM means that for the most part when I did jump into my Kut, was tiered up and just got tired of it.  Don't need to have something just sitting in port not getting played, even if it won't get sold again- got my 10k doubloons back and see what the future holds.  Have plenty of smoke boats left, Minatour, Leander, and just bought back the Fiji.  Get the doubloons and then the decision is yours to spend on free exp conversions or to see what other premiums pop into the tree (or if any premium time sale during the holidays).

[Seraphil]

If you're not enjoying Kutuzov, and you have the chance to sell her for her full doubloon value, by all means do it.  You can use the doubloons to pay forward to another premium you might enjoy more.

Yeah. I can't be aggressive with her and that's probably why I'm not loving it. With Belfast, I get very close to 9k to caps/ships and pop smoke. I can contest caps and bully other ships that I just can't with Kutuzov. Even in t9, I could still carry my team easily, with Kutuzov, not so much. I'm going to wait until 0.6.14 and see if I like her anymore but it doesn't look like she's a keeper for me. Also, ANIME FTW!!

No doubt, I'm probably going to wait until the last possible day to see if I warm up to kutuzov but my biggest problem is that I just cannot be aggressive with her. Can't push caps without getting blown to pieces because passive meta at high tier.
