Many puzzlements. Wow. 189k in GC. Did the rest of your team just not show up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much confusion. Many puzzlements. Wow. 189k in GC. Did the rest of your team just not show up? It was a tier 4-5 game, so - as I am certain you are aware - they can be really hit or miss. We had a very capable Mutsuki, and a good Texas, and that was really it; everyone else was getting slaughtered left and right. I actually finished the match with 3/4 HP - for whatever reason, I was ignored and allowed to go about my business. And my business tends to do quite well under those circumstances.

Even in a Giulio, that's not an easy number to get, especially in a tier 4/5 battle - the ships just don't have that much HP, and you can't be everywherr at once. 100-120k is more the norm for a really good match in the thing.

I mean, meh. Dispersion is among the worst in tier, and 1.9 sigma, while good, is not Yamato-tier. The devastating one-two comes from a mix of heavy broadside, good shell velocity, decent traverse, and extremely low concealment, which allows for effective ranges much lower compared to other ships in tier. It doesn't help that concealment is one stat that gets worse along the whole tier spread the GC sees - the first dip in average concealment arrives at T8, with the module being available. This allows the GC to dictate the engagement against every single enemy BB it can see (well, except for another GC). Maneuverability is extremely comfy, but it doesn't make the ship; and 27 knots are very nice to have, but Myogi does 29 one tier lower, and Kongo does 30 at the same tier. TL;dr: GC is only good because concealment. The rest is balanced, just maximally deployable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
