I am curious what people think of the Journey to the West vessels. They are the following: -The Tier IX battleship Wujing -The Tier VIII aircraft carrier Sanzang -The Tier IX battleship Bajie -The Tier VIII cruiser Wukong What are they based on? Are they worth playing (price is not a factor to me)? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All are functional clones besides Wukong, which trades French flavor in consumables for Pan-Asian. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were some minor differences, such as more accurate guns (IIRC). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bajie is a slightly different Izumo. Wukong is a wildly different Charles Martel. Little White Mouse goes over the differences with Bajie and Wukong in her review. Links below.

I can't comment on either Wujing and Sanzang but Bajie ia an Izumo that has better accuracy (2.1 Sigma) shell velocity and range but has worse reload. The Wukong is a Charles Martel that loses access to Reload Booster, Hydro, and Engine boost but gains 12km Deepwater Torps, Torpedo Reload Booster and 1 second faster reload. I'll leave up to you to decode whether those trade offs are worth it. Edited January 31, 2021 by cheekywarship2018 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In order to wring the most money possible, WG needed the ships to be Tiers 8-9, hence the reason they used what they did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1 Not_today_satin_2020 Members 3 posts 128 battles Report post #8 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I have the bajie I got fed up with the insane grind of wows and didn't have a lot of time to play so I forked over 30 bucks for 7500 dubs and bought 6 containers only really expecting camos, on my 6th pull I ended up getting the bajie though, so far I have really enjoyed it its super fun to play it's like a pan Asian Izumo which isn't bad the turret placement lets you angle pretty well too I'm not the best certainly not unicum but I still have a lot of fun even with the fun police and the campy nature of top tier games now and I honestly think that's what matters the most if you think you would enjoy one of these ships and your willing to spend the money go ahead the are pretty much copies of other ships with some slight tweaks.

631 [WAMMY] sasquatch_research Members 2,721 posts 16,160 battles Report post #9 Posted February 7, 2021 Hey Got the Bajie today in one of the containers and it's a good boat, good guns, decent handling. Game 1: 100800 damage and a loss sank 1 ship, Game 2: 124674 damage and win sank 3 ships. Nice to see guns that actually work and that was without dead eye. I also got the Alsace clone and it was ok at around 78K and a win in it, 1 kill. Wasn't as good as Bajie. Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
