What should I get as a credit grinder?

[python_vs_ruby]

I'm still fairly new and improving heavily. I do not enjoy most gunboats i.e. Cleveland, St. Louis that most people enjoy. I like fast-firing has torps (no matter what the range) ships. RU DDs are good. I do not like the Kirov and play my Kongou as a brawler (a lot of fun, actually!). But I would like to know which of the following ships would be the best credit grinders:

Pheonix

Omaha

Tenryu

Kuma

Furutaka

Izy

Gnevny

Svietlana

Hosho

Zuiho

Ryujo

Hiryu

Clemson

Nicholas

Farragut

Mahan

Langley

Bogue

Indi

Wyoming

Myogi.

I have a Kongo and cannot sell it. No, literally... I can't sell it. It's an ARP.

Get the Bogatyr.

ironically you say you dont like gunboats, even though thats what russian dds are referred to as the most haha. I would say the best credit ship for anyone is the one you enjoy playing / do the best in. This is not the same for everyone. credit earnings between ships in a tier are very minimal, and higher tier ships will generally make more. Premiums make significantly more as well.

[Axonn]

I'd say Gnevny, Omaha, Ryujo, and possibly Furutaka (I don't really know about her credit makings but back then months ago she was amazing on credit and exp making but as of now, I wouldn't know since I sold her and haven't play her over half a yr already....so her play style could have change since I sold her long ago. I was planning on buying her again soon though and try her out), Fuso as well (however when I play her, credit vary's on my play style on every match....the least minimum I get for her is around 20k-30k but doing great I get around 60k-100k, of course....this is NONE prem and is pve NOT pvp).

Tier 6 is optimal for credit grinding with a free account. You could settle on Fuso, Aoba, Farragut or Budyonny depending on how dangerously you like to live. All solid credit grinders. Fuso is probably the easiest to operate while Aoba and Budyonny require finesse.

I would probably pick the Omaha from that list.  If you could drop the dime on a Murmansk, I think you'd be happy.  Fast shooting guns, great torps...all in all a very well balanced ship.

RU DDs are gunboats, but not PURE gunboats.. having torpedo's gets them out of sticky situations that other ships (pointed stare at USN CL/CAs tiers 3, 6 and up) can't.

Unfortunately, the only tier 6's I have unlocked right now are Cleveland (hate it), Mutsuki (HATE it), Farragut (pretty good.. love her invisi firing), Independence (one of my favs!), and Ryujo, my favorite tier 6 ship.

I want the Aoba bad, but am currently more eager for my Taiho. Strangely enough, though I love the Pepsi even though I despise the Cleve. Maybe gun-arks? Turret traverse speed since my first line was USN DDs? 

No idea, but I just love the Pepsi. Also, why do people not like the Myogi? She is to the Kongou what the NC is to the Iowa, IMO. Very nice secondary's for her tier, huge guns, very fast. The only thing not good about  it is armor.

And it's not like the Kongou has much of that, either. The only problem with the Myogi is she's not a beginners ship. Beginners (I did this, too) try to use that 18km range and stay way out, just not what this ship is for.

A better intro to BBs is the Wyoming, lots of guns so dispersion doesn't matter as much. Short range so you will close and make dispersion matter even less. Good, forgiving armor.

 

I am limiting this to tier 4, as anything below makes sucky credits. The Tenryu is an exeption because... Tenryu, BTW.

I'd second this. Fragile ships though, but as long as you can avoid exposing your broadside you'll be fine.

I'd say Gnevny, Omaha, Ryujo, and possibly Furutaka (I don't really know about her credit makings but back then months ago she was amazing on credit and exp making but as of now, I wouldn't know since I sold her and haven't play her over half a yr already....so her play style could have change since I sold her long ago.

You got all those ships in PvE? Wow,,,,

Furutaka has changed in play style. She now has super-OP frontal armor, 10km torps, and is generally a destroyer with a citadel and big guns.

[Pope_Shizzle]

Of the the ships you have listed, the Omaha is the best.

[Sir_Godz]

Omaha is the best of the list seconded by the kuma.

 

Big DPM is at your fingers with omaha but if you are low tier without some good skills you can get beaten out of the match fairly fast by the big boys.

 

Kuma is the other good ship because the MM is more in your favor giving you a better average opponent to beat. More seal clubbing is the virtue with this ship.

 

The murmansk is the best value for grinding in the game though. $20 buy in and double the credits back over a reg ship plus good training for RU captains which tend to need more captain skills for competition's sake but really give great returns with them.

[atPrick__]

Play the highest tier ship that is below t8 you are really good with.

 

Furutaka is pretty great, if you stick a Captain with CE in her you can just run around like a mini Zao torping and lighting stuff on fire.

I got more ships in pve (And yes, I hate pvp bcuz its udder broken since after CBT's launch. The CBT's pve/pvp is much, much better than it is now.) and up to Yamato. I got the other nations (Besides USA, they never got my interest besides the BB line but I'll wait on using my free exp later on in the future for them while I'm mainly using it on other Nation ships I prefer and like more) up to at least T6 (Like 1 or 2 are still at T5).

Look at my profiles stats for proof. 

 

As for the Furutaka's torps, her torps were ALWAYS 10km range. WG never messed with her torping range since WOWS CBT launch. I did hear WG said that she did get a buff with her guns, but I don't possibly remember her frontal armor getting a huge buff.......I'll defiantly buy her again later today when I'm done with work.
