Would like some advice spending my doubloons.

 I'm a returned player(played back in beta). Feel like dropping $60 bucks for the game. I've read some old posts and it seemed like Tirpitz is the way to go. It's the 2nd of Bismarck class, so I quite like it as well. However, I mostly play IJN ships only(going for CL>BB>CV), and I'm not really interested in the Atago class. So, I wounder If it's still worth getting Tirpitz as I wouldn't able to use it to train my IJN captains? Or should I spend 12k doubloons somewhere else?

 

Thanks!

You can't go wrong with the Tirpitz or Atago! Have both, love both. 

 

You can also use the Tirpitz to train your German cruisers! And the up coming German BB line.

Well, German BB's are out "SOON™", so Tirpitz would be good for that.  Atago isn't bad, and I have thrown BB captains on it before with good success.  Ishizuchi was buffed a bit awhile back, and if played outside of a division won't see 6's anymore.  Kind of your call, but if IJN is your focus, get the IJN premiums.

Hang onto those doubloons, if you've taken a long hiatus, get a ship to tier 8 and pick up the ins and outs, the Atago and the Tirpitz can potentially see tier 10 games, diving straight into tier 8 might be a rough experience.
