WG seems to have forgotten about the long lost Mikasa.

 

So the question is ---- given her rather unflattering reviews - (they are easily found in the guides section) - would you buy her if WG actually sold her?

 

BTW already have a Mikasa from last year - strange events

I spent about $15 crafting and mailing an ornament for WG's Christmas tree as it was the only way to get her. I would have readily paid the equivalent in doubloons, but it seems WGNA marketing actually is afraid of taking our money. Voted Bacon for both since I have one.

she needs to be fixed since shes not dreadnought and her primary and secondary guns had pretty much same range so historically she should perform like st.louis with extra 305mm a more armor and health (becouse rock-paper-scissors concept wasnt the case in reality)...so there must be some consideration what to do with pre-dreadnoughts to not look completely stupid but not to be overpowered.

In the Wiki, it is listed as being "worth" 2000 dubs.  Good chance, if it were in shop, that is what it would cost.  No reason for it not to be in shop.  It is certainly not OP.  Would be a nice addition to low tier games.

Make the secondaries (at least some of them) the main guns, and the 305's secondaries.

No and no. Ship is bad. I only got her just to have her in my port and never play it. Literally only worth the $5 i put into the ornament to get her.

well maybe...but the turret rotation is so slow so you really dont want to rely on in which direction ai will direct them

Very strange, rigged, universal favouritism by now defunct events

even with given secondary dispersion, it'd probably be more accurate with the L5 skill.

I spent a grand total of 0.49 cents on the mikasa and sometimes I wonder if that was too much. The main guns can't hit the side of a barn from the inside. The secondaries are nice but their low range and the slow speed of the ship makes her a really pretty gun barge.

paper ornament :trollface::great:

 

no complaints against your evaluation

 

but she does make a nice port bauble

 

and used her a couple times in Project-R -- the surprise factor got fast wins

She is a beautiful ship and I have caught my self many times admiring her in port without any desire to play her.

 

If they sell her I would hope it would be $5 or less. No one should be surprised by how she plays with all the scathing reviews available.  However, this is a WG game and their player base consists of many who don't bother to read reviews or search for them.

I have the Mikasa from the xmas ornament contest, and after playing her some have come to the conclusion that she is a dog. Primary gun dispersion is abysmal; which leaves you hiding behind islands hoping someone is foolish enough to come into your secondary gun range; and yes, the secondary guns can be quite good, but then again you have no real control over them. Generally what happens is, since you are a larger target, you get focus killed early on. If you actually survive until later in the game, you get out-ranged; this coupled with your terrible gun dispersion = not a fun ship to play. You guys really want this ship that badly?

i love pre-dreadnoughts and hope there will be more of them in the game. but you just cant apply current bb approach on them becouse every one of them would be painful to play

 

and so far we have plenty of cruiser counterparts for pre-dreadnoughts - chester, st.louis, novik, bogatyr, diana, aurora, dresden, albany...but only one pre-dreadnought battleship

...and since almost every bb built in russia were pre-dreadnoughts...there will be probaly more of them in the future :)

becouse if wg want to put in the game "real legendary stuff of mighty russian navy" they talking so much about, they will have to bring ships before 1905...becouse after that there is no legendary stuff

I have her...very rarely use her.  She can be worth some laughs on rare occasions but usually she is just painful to play.

 

(Must post Mikasa pic in Mikasa thread.  State law)

Took me about 2 games in the thing to decide it was utter garbage. Then I played one more cause apparently I am into self flagellation and like the pain.
