576 IronMike11B4O Members 2,066 posts 23,804 battles Report post #1 Posted December 21, 2017 So i was going over with a friend by nation which ships were good and why. Mind you these are the doubloon purchase ships in the tech tree ATM. He had just gotten about 60k of doubloons from crates anyhow we got to the RU ships and I noticed Makarov. I must be living under a rock as I had seen nothing on it being released. Im on the forum a couple times a day and must have missed it? Anyhow did LWM post a review and if so could you maybe send me the link so I can post it to my clans Discord. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going by past experience with WG and Russian ships, it probably fires actual Konigsbergs for shells. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unusually, it's the opposite. It's a nerfed Nurnberg with worse AA, torpedoes, and hydro. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7,972 [PVE] Taylor3006 [PVE] Members 12,127 posts 31,272 battles Report post #11 Posted December 22, 2017 She has great guns but is very fragile even by cruiser standards. She is ok, I got her in a Santa's crate last year so for $3 I am satisfied. I rarely use her and only in co-op where even the bots tear her apart... On the upside she is kind of pretty for a port queen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
188 Zyu Beta Testers 715 posts 3,660 battles Report post #12 Posted December 22, 2017 Love the Premium "Nurnberg". Now if they'd only release a Premium version of my favorite ship - Konigsberg - I'd be a truly happy fella. Oh and the AA on this(Makarov) is ok/decent. Nurn's isn't the best either. The hydro is anemic vs KM hydro(obv). 1 hour ago, Battleship_Orion said: Unusually, it's the opposite. It's a nerfed Nurnberg with worse AA, torpedoes, and hydro. How are the torpedoes "worse"? They look identical(stat-wise) to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

943 [NUWES] Tzarevitch Members 3,849 posts 16,409 battles Report post #14 Posted December 22, 2017 At the end of WWII, Nurnburg was given to the Soviets as war reparations. It is premium and requires a Russian captain. There are some other differences but they are trivial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again... seems like folks just want to crap on it.(The 180º Turn Time difference of 1.2 seconds is due to ASM1 on Nurn).

35 Viscount Members 248 posts 13,355 battles Report post #16 Posted December 22, 2017 didn't say a thing about turning time, should mention maybe that half the torps thing only applies if you aren't on Nurn's C hull. B and A hulls have 2 triple launchers on each side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
