I am currently looking at Austin and Stalingrad, but I am willing to take any other suggestions. Any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Austin is a great ship, and great fun, but short range and fragile with no smoke or radar. Not great for competitive. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stalingrad is more useful for clan battles, but for ranked I think you should just buy the ship that sounds more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like Austin due to the high floaty arcs, fragile and the Plymouth just seems kind of lackluster for the amount of steal your paying. Ragnar looks interesting for a DD. With the coupon I have enough steal for Bourgone and below. Pete Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
