Which is ridiculous because that would be the one thing it oughta be good at. Too bad its rounds go suborbital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,211 10T0nHammer Members 7,307 posts 3,329 battles Report post #17 Posted January 4, 2016 I still think it needs a strong mobility and slight stealth buff. From another post: Those numbers are incorrect. Here are teh updated rudders and such Myoko: 9.3 sec, 780m, 35 kts max speed Pens: 9.1 sec, 620m, 32.5 kts max speed Atlanta: 11 sec, 610m, 32.5kts max speed York: 10.58 sec, 650m, 32kts max speed So its as slow as the other cruisers, takes longer to turn but doesn't have any of the range, armor, firepower that the other classes have to make up for the fact. It also has the biggest citadel on top of no armor and extremely fragile guns with losing 3-4 a battle is average. With Steering Mod 2: 11*.2= 8.8 second rudder shift time but the other CAs still get the same boost, seriously there is nothing other than rudder shift time in that slot thats worth it for CAs.

12 Kaystonian8283 Members 210 posts 1,188 battles Report post #18 Posted January 4, 2016 I'm Sry to say the atlanta is just a broke nearly useless ship an I love her looks but she can't to much of anything without being in suicide range. Some game I can do some if theirs lots of coverage to hide in bur most it has no range in guns or torps an literally every Salvo I take is 2-3 destroyed turrets or knocked out engine/steering. If u broadside ur dead so ya nice ship but probably the biggest waste of $$$ to spend on. I play alot of dds an they aren't even as weak as this ship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,593 [CRMSN] Cobraclutch Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 6,021 posts 4,739 battles Report post #19 Posted January 4, 2016 They never changed the torps. They provided different range / speed setting. The real question is, why can't we manually adjust our torpedoes? That is the question you should be asking... More speed = less range, less speed = more range.

I can engage certain destroyers at specific ranges if I know how far their torps will go, or about how fast they will travel from their current position.

2,367 [HINON] Captain_Dorja [HINON] Beta Testers 5,913 posts 5,645 battles Report post #22 Posted January 4, 2016 It's a glass-cannon waterhose of firey death and yall want better torps lol This hasn't been true for months now. The Atlanta is a glass pistol of watery death for her own crew, and if you're fortunate to engage nothing but 1 or 2 unsupported DDs, she's a monster. That's about it. Oh and it's the best ship for AA protection below like tier 9. Her durability is comparable to a tier 4, her guns do nearly no damage, have no range, and even with their short range, aren't very useful until suicidally close. At those ranges, you lose your guns and die faster than you can deal damage. I think I'd rank Atlanta as the 3rd worst Wallet Boat in game.Sims tops my list, followed by Yubari (Yubari just isn't fun and doesn't do anything particularly well) and then Atlanta. I used to fear Atlantas and prioritize them with my BBs and cruisers. Now, unless I'm in a DD, I prioritize them because they are EXP pinatas. I'd rather have any other t6 cruiser in game in place of an Atlanta on my own team. A Nurnberg, Cleveland, Aoba, Pesacola, Yorck, or Myoko would be better to have on my side in 8 out of 10 situations, and in those last 2, the Atlanta isn't a marked enough improvement for me to prefer to have one around. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they'd rename them they'd probably stick to conventions and name them Mk 15 mod. 3, and Mk 15 mod. 4 Shimakaze's torpedoes has three variants, the mod. 2 is actually exclusively used on Ibuki and has 10km, mod. 1 (Kagerou + Shimakaze) is the 20km, mod. 3 (Shimakaze) has 15km.
