I did not see any destroyers dominating strangely enough, as there is no radar at this tier it would've be expected. I don't need to explain Budyonny, everyone knows what it can do at tier 6.

You're also fast enough to be flexible (unlike slower USN battleships), and the armour is pretty great at tier 6. By the time your shells land you're pretty close to being loaded up again at that range, so you can pop another off pretty quick. The Fuso can hit salvos for 8-10K no problem at 17km if the target doesn't try to dodge. Budyonny would be my cruiser pick and Fuso would be my battleship pick. What I found worked best around tier 6 was cruisers with a high fire chance, and battleships with a good rate of fire with range. Two seasons back we had a combination of two tiers, first 6 and at some point moved to 8. It got WD40 for it's turrets and has decent secondaries. It's range is lacking in my opinion but the spotter plane can make up for this. In my opinion, that becomes a huge problem. The downside is the amount of guns it has. It also has accurate guns that can overmatch all other battleships. That being said, this thing turns beyond amazingly. Warspite - It's armor is ok except for this stupid underwater citadel section. Speed shouldn't be a huge issue since you will likely all be trying to go to the same cap. It can brawl or push at mid range so I would say it gets some bonus points in my eyes for flexibility. That being said, being a good target tempts the enemy to shoot at you which is what you want - to be the damage sponge. The armor is good but I find it's a tempting target, there is a lot of 25mm plating that can be brutalized by CL's with IFHE and flat edges that can be brutalized by AP. I find my performance to be consistent even if my team potatoes so this ship may be the best to minimize losing stars on looses.Īrizona - Obviously shorter range and less accurate at range but you still have the ability to completely wreck targets with some of the highest damage per salvo in the game. Unfortunately, your team NEEDS you to be a damage sponge and I'm not fully impressed with the Fuso's armor. The turrets need WD40 but I find this ship to be great at long range and if you are planning ahead you can compensate for this.


Unfortunately it's detection is a huge problem and you can be spotted as soon as the battle starts. I don't have Mutsu or Dunkerque so my list may be different if I had played them since I view them both as having serious potential.įuso up-side is it's guns are amazing - long range accuracy, lethal, good rate of fire. I suppose New Mexico and Arizona are interchangeable. I think my top 3 choices for battleships are:Īrizona, Fuso and Warspite in that order but it could be easy for Fuso to take the lead from Arizona. I think the only downsides to these 3 ships are the fact that their AA is crap. I think that for battleships, this tier is pretty balanced but was wondering which you thought were the top battleship choices. I think that it's a pretty balanced tier and premium ships have no huge advantage over their tech tree counterparts. I think I'll be playing mostly battleships this time around. I was wondering what your thoughts on ranked at tier 6 for this season were.
