Has it really impacted you badly or do you feel that it wasn't as bad as you thought it would affect you?

More than that, those captains also had to have the affected captain skills on the 155s with their mogami.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going off solo is still a bad idea and don't expect the changes to save you if you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,140 [MCWF] K1ra_Yoshikage Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 7,026 posts 29,091 battles Report post #14 Posted February 17, 2016 Did someone mention the Mogami? I only take the Cleveland out for missions so I don't care for her. The Murmansk can't hit a mountain over her old max range. Oh yes the Marblehead. She need a buff. But then again she is a mission/retraining ship and she worked for me every time I used a captain that didn't had AFT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And whos dumb enough to attack a moines when any other ship is alive. Pre patch, Des moines AA was nothing more than a bad joke. Against T10 planes a DM was lucky to kill two planes before they dropped, even with defensive fire active and full AA spec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
234 Bril01 Beta Testers 1,259 posts 6,287 battles Report post #16 Posted February 17, 2016 The only ship I actively played that would be impacted was the Mogami but I got to within 15k'ish XP from the Ibukie. So I will just free XP the remaining bit and retire the Mogami. Otherwise the changes have little impact upon my CA activity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

130 [CNK] slags83 Members 454 posts 6,836 battles Report post #19 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) You're not going to notice much of a difference unless you had AFT equipped on a light cruiser. And AA apparently got a huge buff, so..... Edited February 17, 2016 by slags83 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
433 StooperDave Alpha Tester 1,997 posts 2,336 battles Report post #20 Posted February 17, 2016 Only made the fire hose ships get a bit closer to the danger zone to use their fire hose. Other than that, no real effect. Cleveland is still an effective BB roaster. Murmansk is still an effective cruiser murderer. Mogami should have been played with the 203s all along, so it was completely unaffected by the AFT nerf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Against T10 planes a DM was lucky to kill two planes before they dropped, even with defensive fire active and full AA spec. I out did a fighter fit US carrier in plane kills with my Myoko earlier. And myoko is not known for AA... I would say AA got a massive buff. of course the poor carrier that wanted me dead kept coming back to attack as soon as my defensive fire cooldown was done, and i kept clearing the sky of his pesky ineffective dive bombers with it. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
