242 Cuesta_Rey Members 1,140 posts 6,429 battles Report post #5 Posted January 15 At one time, it was a lot better...when the guns had more range with captain skills. Now, The Furry Taco is far better than Murmansk IMHO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

338 [WOLFC] DocWalker Members 767 posts 7,357 battles Report post #7 Posted January 15 First, Congrats on a very good game! It was my first premium ... and was a blast to play at one time (back around Season 2 Ranked until the AFT nerf). But it has, as mentioned, been "power-crept" ... is that a word? I still play it occasionally, but you have to really watch your positioning, especially against higher tiers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it depends on the fighting you're doing. IIRC Omaha still has the longest-ranged guns of the bunch, which can be important when you are uptiered, but I have torped enough ships in the Omaha to know that good metal fish are a good thing to have. I did not fit the C hull, as I preferred to keep two sets of torps on each side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her rail guns are sick and will make short work of most cruisers caught broadside. I'm kind of meh about Kirov. For me, the extra effectiveness of them vs. 6" guns isn't enough to offset the rate of fire. IOW, they have an 8" ROF, in return for a 6"(+) danage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is just one of those ships that fits my play style. I can take more than half an Omaha's health in a single salvo. From a stylistic sense, the Kirov is also a beautiful ship. You might as well look good when crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentation of the women. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8 [ICU] liangshepherd Members 40 posts 3,329 battles Report post #22 Posted January 15 MM was the only premium ship I bought in the game.

Make basically no other changes other than some torpedo tweaks and cut a mighty 0.4km of range and voila. The OG Russian bias example in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the power of comrade cockroach at work comrade. All of those little bugs pushing her to limits the capitalist pigs Americans could only dream of. Also did you know how the murmunsk was the inspiration for the show Joe's apartment? No? Of course not comrade only the Russians know this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
