96 [ANKER] Seniorious Members 229 posts 3,667 battles Report post #10 Posted July 12 I can already see the whining of how the HP pool is so small compared to Kronshtahdt, and how the shell velocity is so slow in comparison. The rest of her stats seem pretty impressive though, and having DM AP richochet angles on 305mm guns means she will absolutely chew through cruisers at angles the Kronshtahdt only dreams of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm at 225k FXP and was going to get the Nelson. I may have to hold on to the FXP until WG releases how she will be earned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Alaska has better dispersion and improved auto bounce angles than the Kronstadt. As far as I'm concerned that means the Kronstadt is now a port queen.

I may still get Nelson with this FXP, depending on how Alaska is released. If Alaska is a FXP ship, I'll go for Nelson after that. 2 minutes ago, Seniorious said: I'm at 80k (used to be 110) and was going for Nelson too, but with Alaska now in the mix....it'll have to wait until Alaska is revealed.

As long as it looks as beautiful as it is (which it seems to be) this guy won't care ;-) I'll be like that one guy who has something like 1000 games or otherwise an absurd amount in the Kii.

Seriously, though, I regret nothing; Nelson's a known quantity, and she fits in better with my current needs and intentions. I don't at all mind the extra time it's going to take to save up for this thing. Edited July 12 by Ensign_Cthulhu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,338 [CRMSN] Cobraclutch Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 5,406 posts 3,583 battles Report post #22 Posted July 12 Nice ship. Probably gonna be my first Free XP ship. However it would be nice for the dev's to throw a bone to the DD players who want a Free XP DD.. And it would be nice to put a hold on releasing more radar ships... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
