Put out 5x fires back to back and you eat 100% late game. Its the only ship with that set up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to say it's useless, but man, when you're down to your last two, things start to get scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
278 [RZN] Frederick_The_Great Members 1,724 posts 11,839 battles Report post #11 Posted January 18, 2019 If you can save them until late game, if you play well you can be pretty hard to kill late game. any dot damage can be wiped quickly over and over. a few weeks ago i had a 7 kill game in this thing.(buddy of mine got 2 kills in his iron duke) I didn't use one DCP until 11-12 min into the match.(nothing worth using DCP on until that point) It came down to 2v4, and thanks to this DCP, we were able to take out all 4 without either of us dying.

98 Aegis270 Beta Testers 188 posts 86 battles Report post #12 Posted January 18, 2019 Being able to constantly wipe fires and floods makes the Okt R a nightmare against cruisers and DDs. You can eventually burn through all those charges, but if you're face to face with him it'll be practically impossible to get a DoT to stick unless he's been super careless that game. Given how weak most of the CLs/DDs firepower is at that tier, this is a big deal. She pays for it in other ways, but expecting WG to design an entire line (Especially a Russian line) with weaknesses that don't make this overwhelming is unlikely, in my opinion. If the Soviet BBs have that as a national trait, they need a nerfed damage repair to go with it. As it stands, if they can just afford to let one fire burn as other BBs can, but immediately and repeatedly wipe any two or three fire that occurs, they'll be a serious problem to low/mid tier cruisers/DDs.

But it makes you wonder if it will be one of the unique traits of the upcoming Russian battleship tech tree. Ok I feel like an IDIOT, I did not know that the Oct Rev had a unique DCP consumable. I have been playing her like a regular battleship, letting one fire burn, hitting DCP on 2 or more fires. She is already my highest performing T-5 BB in average damage, kills, and with a PR rating of 1892 it falls just slightly behind the Texas at 1915. I figure play her the same way through the first half of the game and than progressively increasing the use of the DCP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YES! I have five. And I very seldom run out. I ran out in this particular game just before I got destroyed. Team melted in first five minutes, and I spent the next ten or so minutes focused by half the reds...kiting away. And I use kiting loosely because when your team is gone...it's more like running for dear life being pursued by a hoard. Survived just long enough to DS a DD in a mutually destructive rain of HE and torps. It was all over long before that point....but in the words of Han Solo...they are not going to take me without a fight. One of the nice tricks with the Okt R is the knowledge it has VERY GOOD bow plates. When angled well, you cannot be overmatched bow on. So you can cause a lot of destruction in a bow angled fight. When enemy switches to HE...careful management of DCP and RT can cause all sorts of angst for the enemy. Okt R also has one of the best AA capabilities in tier. Not as good as Texas, but very good for a T5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
