268 alex08060 Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 2,809 posts 1,670 battles Report post #2 Posted July 6, 2020 I purchase this ship just after launch when it’s tire 8 for the lol and the rage it gets in randoms only to have cry babies complain to WG that it’s OP and they removed it from the game and even removed the stats from the ship. Good to see it’s back 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

268 alex08060 Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 2,809 posts 1,670 battles Report post #5 Posted July 6, 2020 Unlike the old days with radar ships all over the MM it’s hard to set up ambushes or hiding in smokes. Any ships will target it first once detected, probably still good at Co-op. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yes, it will be a blast in coop, and for getting those missions that require a ton of torpedo hits.... for players who don't have Okhotnik, it will be welcome.

21,632 [ARGSY] Ensign_Cthulhu Members 28,336 posts 24,094 battles Report post #7 Posted July 6, 2020 Note this: Quote We will carefully watch how this unusual cruiser will prove herself in battle, and will implement the necessary changes to make playing her and against her interesting. Additionally, we understand there might be concerns about the ship dealing damage to allies, and we plan to take them into account when the ship will be released. This is very, very, VERY interesting. @Lord_Zath, you were talking just yesterday about this ship on your stream, I believe. Lo and behold, speak of the Devil and he appears!

Even for players who DO have Okhotnik, it will be welcome. Note that these are Yuudachi torpedoes. I foresee TAE and Torpedo Acceleration as being mandatory "special" builds for this ship. Interesting that they have pushed her up to Tier 10, where the prolificity of radar and hydro will keep her thoroughly in check. Cue screams of outrage if they make her for steel or RB points, but I foresee another 2 million FXP DD on the horizon. If she is for coal, expect her to be snapped up like crazy and then banned after a few months like Smolensk was. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contrast the Arpeggio ships; nobody can tell who got the originals and who got them when they were let out again this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
