The Flint is Hilari--err--Ridiculous

[Submarine_Wahoo]

My second game in the Flint (the first was hampered by enemies that ran away from me ) and this is what I get:

 

 

 

Damage is padded by wrecking a CV, but it's only 32k of that 105k. This thing is the only reason why I could even manage to stay within range of the enemy:

 

 

40 second downtime at worst?! Meet the American Kutuzov.

Flint coming next patch or something?

It is in the process of being sent out right now. I just received it while I was sitting in port and comparing Dunkerque's mined stats to other ships in the tech tree.

Lighting fires just like the real thing! I actually took a captain with DE since that's what I'm usually running on my cruisers and most of my destroyers.

 

I was expecting a Flint Water Crisis joke in that spoiler though...

Do you know what ships light fires more than Flint?

 

Montana and Moskva

 

 

 

I guess they mix Flint and Water? idk..

The water pipes were supposedly contaminated with iron. And this is in the ship's namesake city: Flint, Michigan

Flint is what Atlanta should have been for everyone, i imagine it's even more competitive now that it has smoke n improved torps

[Aduial]

I wants it.... the Atlanta and the Flint and (maybe the Tirpitz as well) are the only premium ships that i actually want, because there's no ship like that in the tech trees.

Bismarck will be here soon enough, so Tirpitz will have a sister ship then.

[BadlyBrowned]

The Flint gets 9.2km torps and smoke in a package with only slightly less firepower than the Atlanta?

 

Goddamn, now I regret not doing ranked.

Lead.  The pipes from the treatment plant were not inspected before they were put into use, and the coating that would normally prevent lead contamination had been compromised because they were old.
