PSA: Cruiser Captains

[My_Other_Car_Is_A_Tank]

Battleships are not all RNG, and a skilled BB captain can and will hit you. Don't be the Omaha captain from my last game who claimed that a BB hitting 75% of his shots while he was sailing in a straight line from 10 km is RNG. Don't bother trying to hang around just long enough to get that last turret aimed, or you will get citadel penned at least once, if not twice or even three times. Always maneuver, especially if the enemy BB is pointing his guns at you. Cruisers were given good rudder shift times for a reason. Use it!  And if none of this gets through to you, well, it's just more free xp and credits for my Kongo. I do want to Fuso after all.

My favorite was the omaha captian that accused me of aimbotting when I citadelled him 3 times in my NM.  Dont' go broadside = live longer

I had two tier 6 cruisers calling hacks last week after I killed each of them with successive salves, two salvoes fired and two devastating strikes. Maybe not parking broadside at 12km is not such a smart move...

I rammed a colorado  with my murmansk after I missed with torps.   The mate  in NM was shooting and I wanted to get close enough to torp and he died, so instead of running away, I  charged (because he could citadel me that close and time was running out)   He kept his nose in to make sure he could dodge the torps.  He overpenned me with his front gun,     so I ended up ramming him to sink us both       that was fun.   I found out that you don't get DMG stat for ramming

Waits for first cruiser only driver to pop in and scream BALANCE demands them being able to trade broadsides at that range with a BB and having an even chance of coming out on top!!!

I've one shot two near full health Ibuki's in my Nagato the past couple of days who gave me an easy broadside, and might as well had a flashing 'please citadel me' sign in blazing LEDs. Both whined about crap afterwards that had nothing to do with them being stupid. You'd think after the Mogami grind you'd learn to *not do this* even to lower tier BB's. 

 

Oddly, PepsiCola drivers seem to be catching on.

As a cruiser main, all I can do is echo iChase: "Wiggle!"

but you already can! Use a Mogami and fire from 16.5km with AFT, camo and concealment mod.

Like Jingles always say... 

When people are going to learn? That's good advise to ANY ship, not only cruisers

[MikeyBugs95]

Wait, are you implying that the Cleveland is maneuverable? Well, ok, maybe a little...

[EasternWu]

Omaha's rudder shift time of 7.5 seconds is catastrophically bad for a CL. I'd be happy if it was at Kuma level.
