4 [AVT7] Toasticuss Alpha Tester 21 posts 565 battles Report post #1 Posted February 1 I thought the Atlanta would be fun to play but I get constantly destroyed in battles from BBs, being good with an Atlanta often comes from luck.. The Giulio Cesare is a fun tier 5 BB with a decent fire rate. What other premium ships are your favorite that you think are worth picking up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Played it for first time in CB tonight and turns out that I really like it. Good ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

740 [-TRM-] xHeavy [-TRM-] Members 2,469 posts Report post #7 Posted February 1 The Mainz is my go to fire ship. If I need 200 fire ribbions in a game. Presto Mainz time. 10 minutes later it's done. Burn everything. (And torp the rest) Atlanta is my second choice only in Coop or Operations. She has to be played in a certain way. Very sensitive to damage and being sunk. Its a shame though. A outrageous concept that actually works in this game but just easily sunk. Can you imagine a situation where say a Hull with 60,000 health points and known good resistance to being deleted and then stacked three deep with oh... 40 twin mounts all over the ship? When she fires everyone else will essentially lag out of the server. WIN! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The short answer is: it depends on what you are after. I wouldnt have thought that the Cesare would have a 'high fire rate' given its a battleship. But anyway, you might be interested in my Premium Ship Guide that will help you select the premium ship(s) that are right for you, and make some suggestions as to good premium ships. Hope that helps! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
473 [WOLFX] dechion Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 1,164 posts 4,291 battles Report post #9 Posted February 1 You didn't mention a ship type or tier, though you gave Atlanta as an example. So I know you like American cruisers. At tier 7 there is the American CL Boise. Though she has a fairly short range, and does need to use cover for best survival, she also has access to a quite effective repair party. No radar however. At tier 10 there is the American CA Salem. Shes essentially a Des Moines with a slightly higher rate of fire, a damn good repair party, and a slightly shorter range. (Not sure how the captains skill rework has effected this ship, as I haven't taken mine out since). I am not including Atlanta, since you already know that ship, or any of the lower tier ones. (Though Marblehead is surprisingly fun to play) My go to premium ships when I need to start fires for a mission has been Smolensk (not currently available I don't believe), Atlanta B, and Boise. I'm not certain when you mentioned fire rate if you were referring to the actual rate of fire of the guns or the rate at which the ship will start fires. That said, Boise and Salem are both decent ships in both categories. You may get better suggestions by narrowing down what you are looking for. (Type, tier range, planning on random/co-op/ranked/scenario/or combo of those, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Though Marblehead is surprisingly fun to play) The Marblehead and all the premium Omaha ships are super fun to play in co-op. They are nimble, quick firing, and are armed with torpedos so they do really well in the mode as long as you avoid incoming fire. They can do ok in PvP in the hands of a really skilled player as long as they are not facing too many BBs or tier 7 ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My personal favorite of those Omaha class ships is Murmansk, but I have both in my port and take them out when I want to blow off some tier 5 steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
