Oh yeah! AFT 4th skill

[PhilDz]

 

good advice on 4th skill.  Loaded on my Mumansk, awesome with extra range.  Just got it on my Cleveland now with 17.6 km range!   Now a long grind to another skill!

Imagine if you could add that to a 16.5km range Cruiser with sub 155mm high-velocity & high RoF guns...

With AFT, it can fire 19.8km at 10rpm

So far, I only have the 4th captain skill in my little Phoenix tier 4 cruiser. But it's totally cool to be able to fire on targets 16.5 km away. Just takes what seems like forever for the shells to get there. But it does make a big difference being able to reach out there like that.

I can see that being a major problem if you're in a New York, New Mexico or Colorado.

I'm not even sure I want to face that in my Fuso.

And then if you get within 6km, it'll torp you!

People will have to deal with it in South Carolina & Kawachi.

Fundamentally this skill is probably the biggest imbalance factor in the game at the moment.

Its what enables the Russian DDs to stealthgun, its going to enable those mid-tier German Cruisers to stealthgun & it gives some pretty outstanding ranges for US mid-tier Cruisers too.

11rpm if you take the 10% increased fire rate skill.  99 rounds out of the ship every minute for a rainbow of pain, firing the guns every 5.4 seconds.

Is it me or is Last Stand absolutely necessary for any IJN cruiser, almost as necessary as it is for all destroyers?

I think it's pretty even for USN and IJN cruisers.  If you show your rear, you're gonna lose steering.  USN is slightly less prone to engine damage.

Phoenix and Kuma already outrange and outrun them, so I'm not sure it will be significantly worse. I mean they're already dealing with ships that don't have to close to within their gun range.
