This. I loved my T6 Cleveland too. It's time to let it go though. She deserves to be in T8, not T6. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fires are generally not a reliable way to make damage. That's why I don't use DE anymore, I'd rather spend 3 captain skill points on something else. Usually, anything else.

That's why I don't use DE anymore, I'd rather spend 3 captain skill points on something else. Usually, anything else. I don't know about that, where CL's are involved. Fires can be fairly reliable if you have good fire damage production management skills. That is, watching for ships that have just used their DC party. Getting a BB on fire but only starting one fire, unless you know that he won't have a DC party for a while, in which case you try for as many fires as possible. But if you think that he might put out a 2nd fire, then just switch to another BB and put a fire on him, and so on. It's harder to do this with DDs because their fire starting chance is so much lower. But as long as RNG isn't trolling you, cruisers can produce fire damage fairly reliably, IF you are careful to manage things to keep a fire burning rather than give an enemy BB a reason to just use their DC party. OTOH, sometimes, you might want to force them to use a DC party, if you see torps inbound on that enemy ship and think that they're not yet detected by the enemy. You might be able to get the enemy ship to use his DC party before he sees the torps, and allow the torps to get a perma-flood going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're more likely to get more fires by more shells, than you are pumping the chance of fire per each shell slightly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,394 [GWG] AVR_Project [GWG] Members 5,822 posts 10,515 battles Report post #18 Posted January 18 I want my Tier 6 Ognevoi back too.. That was my best ship. Before the AFT, ExMk, and BFT nerf, these were hellacious terrors. We always dreaded those 3-man Cleveland divisions when they showed up on the other side. The only thing worse, was when the 3 Cleveland division showed up on OUR side and we get squat for kills and damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,769 [ARGSY] Ensign_Cthulhu Members 8,038 posts 5,474 battles Report post #20 Posted January 18 (edited) Heaven knows, there were enough ships in the class that a duplicate shouldn't be hard to do. I am tempted to nominate USS Little Rock, not distinguished in combat but noteworthy as the only remaining member of the class still in existence (as a guided-missile cruiser conversion).

It depends on the non-DE fire starting chance as to the value of DE. If the fire chance of a hit is 4%, then adding DE (+2%) increases the fire start chance by 50%. But if you add DE to a gun whose fire start chance is already 20%, then the increase is only 10%. The greater the base fire start chance, the less valuable DE is. So as a general rule, DE is most valuable to DDs and least valuable for BBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
73 [WOLF5] bigbearbeear Members 349 posts 6,574 battles Report post #22 Posted January 18 (edited) I would like this as well. Not sure why but WG does this but on the US cruiser line, the difference between tier 6 and 7 is massive. In tier 6, we only have the Pensacola and Dallas. While on tier 7, we have the Atlanta (awesome ship), New Orlenans, Helana (another one of my favorite), Indianapolis AND Boise (great ship too). so 2 ships in tier 6 and a whopping 5 ships in tier 7. P.S.: I forgot the Flint too on Tier 7. That is a massive difference between the tiers. Edited January 18 by bigbearbeear 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
