Highly agile, accurate and able to overmatch to get to sweet, sweet juicy citadels? Yes please! Edit : Almost forgot the most important part. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

80 [SUNK] CaptainKiwi_2016 Members 487 posts Report post #7 Posted January 15 (edited) @TornadoADV I got my Warspite during the Royal Navy Event last year, and I can tell you that it was worth that grind to 220 Sovereigns. It may be slow, but its guns are dead aim accurate, and I can't get enough of the ship! It became my favourite premium ship taking the crown away from my Monaghan. I still long to own a Mutsu just to try out the torpedoes, but Warspite will remain my favourite simply because she has the power to punish other Tier 6 Battleships. I took out a Mutsu with a full broadside from my Warspite shortly after I got the vessel. Warspite is a favourite in my clan simply because she is such a fantastic ship. I'll take her over Guilo Cesare any day! Edited January 15 by CaptainKiwi_2016 Missing letter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to get manual secondaries for my Warspite because one of her gimmicks is that her 6" secondary guns act as an early warning system that lets you know that something is trying to sneak up on you.

She's a relic of an age of the game that I frankly miss as far as BBs go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point. I don't use MS on her either, opting for CE and FP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those secondaries have saved my life on many occasions. And to be honest, they have taken out their fair share of surface ships on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5,357 [WOLF3] HazeGrayUnderway [WOLF3] Members 17,347 posts 15,832 battles Report post #17 Posted January 15 (edited) Warspite has always been one of the best Tier VI BBs. And she is very old too, 2015 Premium Ship. Not only that, the first Tier VI Premium BB. Every time Tier VI Ranked comes around, she always turns in a good performance in the server. For fun: Tier VI Warspite's 381mm AP is better than Tier VII Hood's 381mm AP. Edited January 15 by HazeGrayUnderway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason why Warspite is better than Mutsu in terms of gunnery, is because Warspite is accurate. Mutsu does not have Tier VII Nagato's accuracy nor powerful Type 91 AP shells. Mutsu is also very squishy. Warspite has more accurate guns than WeeVee. WV's 406mm AP is leagues more powerful. If she can hit, she will maul the other BBs well. But she has worse accuracy than VII Colorado. In Tier VI Ranked before this VI Sprint, I was using Cruisers and Warspite was a terrifying BB because of her accuracy. Another dangerous factor with Warspite against Cruisers and why she gets more Citadels against them instead of Overpens? It's because of how high up the shells arc. Warspite's floaty shells for a new user are annoying to hit targets at range with. But eventually people figure them out and use that accuracy to good effect, and those arcing shells crash into Cruiser Citadels quite often. While WeeVee's 406mm guns are powerful, Overmatching Tier VI BB peer armor, has massive AP Pen capability, Warspite's 381mm guns are still big enough to Overmatch WeeVee in return, and she has what WeeVee doesn't have: Accuracy. If Warspites can reliably crush smaller, nimbler Cruisers at range, hitting a BB is easy. Yes. Warspite's 381mm AP is better than Mutsu's 410mm AP. Warspite also has 2.0 Sigma compared to the 1.8 of WV'41, Mutsu, and Arizona. Meanwhile New Mexico has 1.5 Sigma.

And for Mutsu to fire torpedoes she needs to be broadside. That exposes her citadel and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't even work that well at tier 6, does it? 15% not the 60% that higher tiers get. I like using my secondaries for early warning as well. It would be nice if manual secondaries worked both ways. Normal secondaries until you choose a target then you get the accuracy boost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
