Marblehead

[Triela50]

Let me start off by saying this is hands down my favorite ship in the game. Yeah I know the torps are awful and the AA is crap. Even so this is a wonderful ship.

 

Ok let me get to my point.I noticed my HE is preforming much better then my AP what I mean is my shot patterns are much tighter when firing HE I have played both the Omaha and Murmansk I noticed no difference in the Omaha  and AP preforming much better on the Murmansk. Anyone else noticing this?

well Murmansk is a Russian ship so "Russian bais" obviously. however as for the remaining 2 ships, its a likely case of WG tinkering with their stats in attempt to make the ships perform differently so people will want to get both ships instead of just 1.

Probably just confirmation bias. The Marblehead (Omaha B  hull) IS more accurate due to the shorter range of its guns. While the Murmansk having the range of an Omaha C hull has the ability to fire AP at a much better angle at its targets at range.

thats not alll~

 

look at their rudder shift times.

 

Omaha and Marblehead are like cruisers.  so around 7.8sec

 

Murmansk is a freakin destroyer.  with an insane rudder shift time allowing it to turn on a dime.

 

 

keeping in mind murmansk was essentially used as a toilet, trash can, and disease ship by russia (considering the condition it was returned to us in)

i look forward to WG explaining how such an abused ship can perform so well.

But you can't buy the Marblehead it's a gift ship (well I guess you can on E-bay but I don't count that den of vile scumery)

that's what I was suggesting, and for all we know WG could do another mutant debacle like they did in WOT 2 years ago.

Murmansk can get a 17+km range with a t4 captain. Just spam HE before they get into range were they can shoot back. As a alternative you can try to be a long range sniper with a bit of skill.

And ofc she handles like a destroyer, charge with them and cover them from other destroyer or lower/same tier cruiser.

[ZombieFlanders]

i notice no difference at all.

 

i play the marble daily and nuke cruisers all the time with AP, its easy to get multiple per salvo at close-med range. its all RNG and thus lends itself to weird streaks from time to time i guess.

[Dr_Venture]

I love them both, great ships. 

[PelicanHazard]

Probably confirmation bias. I notice no difference in HE/AP between Murmansk and Marblehead, and in fact I have a higher average XP per game in the Marblehead. It's my top cruiser!

The marblehead's fast and low arcs takes a while to get used to it's torpedoes are better than Omaha and Murmansk. The Murmansk is just a superior ship due to better range. I really enjoy playing the Marblehead when I am in the mood though.

I have to disagree on the torps yeah they have a range of 8k but only do 49 knots even the most brain dead BB driver can dodge them easily

I've been enjoying my Marbie.  She's a good ship.  Getting close to that 4point range bonus, which should be even better.

8.1k versus the Murmansk 8k, not that you should launch at that range I usually launch 4k and closer (island ambushes are great) love that you can be bow on target with 5 guns on target with either ship.
