Pick your T8 for Ranked Season 5

[anonym_LreZfNvihoej]

Discussions on next ranked season ship picks are heating up and I thought it will be interesting to see what will be popular choice according to statistics. Personally I will try everything (I have them all except Kutuzov), but ultimately will focus on successful ones or those who fits better in current queue situation. Not sure how world Bismarks/Bensons can be overmatched.

 

Please contribute your choice and thoughts

...adding T6 poll because it's interesting too

 

Edit: added Warspite, Nurnberg, Ognevoi, Dunkerque, New Orleans - dangit

You forgot the Warspite in your list of tier 6 BBs. It's what I'll be using.

T8:

I dont know if i will go with my derpitz or my bismark, the secondaries from bismark are awesome to melt dds but depitz move best and have torps. 

Ca, kutuzov are the best. 

I dont play with this despresive class of dds.

CV i dont think work well in ranked T8 (dont work last time), but i pick Shokaku because lex sucks. 

T6:

New Mexico

Budyonny

dont play with dds. 

Both t6 cvs suck.

 

[IronWolfV]

T6 I'll roll the following:

Bayern, Dunkerque, Anshan, Cleveland.

T8:

Tirpitz, Atago, Mogami.

kiev > tash and ill probably take it

[poeticmotion]

I wish we could only answer questions we want to, because I'm not really qualified to answer CV questions and dont have a preference in a couple other categories. 

[Czevak]

Benson.

[Hyyena]

Dunkerque

 

forgot about Dunkerque, looks the best T6 bb for me in ranked, a extreme frontier battle game. 

[IceSerpen7]

No option for "Yamato wrapped in bacon"?

 

[LubzinNJ]

kiev > tash and ill probably take it

 

You can't. Only T6 and T8.

[Morpheus29]

I cannot complete the Poll as I wont be playing tier 6. To answer the Q: Tirpitz and Benson. Maaaybe Atago. 

 

**Re-training my Commander for the Benny on my Flint atm. Definitely will be good to go by Oct.

[MidnightShamalan]

you forgot to put New Orleans in with th--

 

oh. i see what you did there. 

[poeticmotion]

With the birthday gift commander XP flags, anyone can get a 15 pt captain on Bismarck, which means Bismarcks with manual secondaries are going to wreck a lot of faces. 

[Lord_Dolza]

should change your poll for what ship you plan on using IE I don't DD or CV

[premiermiller]

No New Orleans love, lol. I actually did really well with it during Season 3. 

[Cruiser_Senjo]

T8 CA's - you forgot Prince Oinken'

T8 DD's - you might (depending on when they are released) want to put Fubuki at tier 6 and add the 2 new IJN tier 8 DD's, Kagero and Akizuki

T6 DD's - again (depending on when they are released) might want to replace Mutsuki with Fubuki and Hatsuharu

[TenguBlade]

I'll probably be taking out either New Orleans or Mogami, I've developed an aggressive DD-hunting playstyle for both.  As for battleships, there's always the old standby of the Amagi, and I'm a decent ways off from finishing my North Carolina grind, but I haven't played much of either and the abundance of Bismarcks is going to be something to adjust to.  I also finally finished working off my Shokaku stock grind, though I doubt I'll use her much.

 

Fubuki might be something to try once she becomes the T6, I've always liked running gunboat on my IJN DDs.  Otherwise it's old standbys again with New Mexico and Cleveland, I'm almost done with the Budyonny.  Might get around to trying Bayern for T6, but I doubt I'll have the motivation to.

[1nv4d3rZ1m]

I voted for all the tier 8 BBs because I could. 

[anonym_LreZfNvihoej]

Fixed: apparently I've missed whole bunch of ships, maybe still some. On IJN DD change before ranked - I think that would be real curve-ball from WG to drop on us, but as there's no definitive knowledge about them, I don't think including new lineup in poll make any sense.

 

Edit: added Warspite, Nurnberg, Ognevoi, Dunkerque, New Orleans, Prince Eugen.

Good for you - not anymore

[Submarine_Wahoo]

kiev > tash and ill probably take it

 

The upcoming season will not allow you to take a ship from a tier lower than what is described (so no T7 in T8 matches or T5 in T6 matches). Otherwise, I would have brought Flint.

[Sorys]

I own all tier 6 cruisers and dds so ill probs play a mixture except for the nurnberg. that ship is just too weak. For tier 8 only have kutuzov and atago

[Kuckoo]

T6 - My Farragut, Budyonny, and Aoba are all ready, each elited with high-point captains (Farragut has a 17-pointer).

 

T8 - I'm hosed.  Only close to unlocking the Mogami - a ship I never planned to buy in the first place since I decided not to go past the Myoko.  I'm way off from the Chapayev, while I sucked so horribly in the Shchors that I decided to sell it.  Have the fabulous Fletcher, so I'm not buying back and re-equipping/retraining the Benson.  Bought the Iowa already and don't want to spend the bread to buy, equip, and retrain for the Nor Carolina again, either.  Really don't like playing high-tier battleships anyway.  Not close enough to Tier 8 in any other line.

 

Welp...

T8 DD's - you might (depending on when they are released) want to put Fubuki at tier 6 and add the 2 new IJN tier 8 DD's, Kagero and Akizuki

I doubt the new IJN DDs will be out before the next ranked season.
