Kidd: a solid all-rounder sneaky enough, and you get an invaluable healing potion. Is there one of these ships you feel very comfortable in? one you hate? one that's just lucky for you? one that's hard work, but also satisfying? Share your thoughts! I believe that also correlates with how early they were introduced in the game.ġ) I would have a strong, possibly 21 point captain for any of them: captain retraining isn't an issueĢ) I would mostly play them in Randoms, plus the occasional 1v1, 3v3 modesģ) though it's not necessary, I'd appreciate something that plays somewhat differently from their tech tree or freemium counterparts, like the California having a 1.9 sigma on 12 barrels, the cruisers having a heal at T8, the Tone being a hybrid, the Atago being able to launch torpedoes forward.Ĥ) however, I have most tech tree ships in the game, as well as many freemiums, so there aren't many 'niches' left This is a list of those that I'm considering, heavily biased towards vessels that were built in steel There's always the option of buying Tier 9-10 permacamos: the one for the Henri IV looks very elegant, the one for the Udaloi looks like the skin of a poisonous frog, etc. I laughed my ass of at the part where flat top got a kill with one of her guns.Īt least, Choukai get 'Detonation' achievementBetween Santa crates, birthday cashback and Supercontainers, I for once have a fair amount of doubloons. Man, they should give an achievement if you manage to get a gun kill in a CV. Which carried only a single, dinky, exposed 5' gun on their stern that was slapped on as an afterthought.Īll in all, a pretty ignominous end for a heavy cruiser. Which were Casablanca-class escort carriers. What was firing at her, however, was one of Taffy 3's flattops. While original Japanese reports said that the 5' shell came from a destroyer, non of Taffy 3's destroyers or destroyer escorts were within range of Choukai or firing at her. While dead in the water, she was subsequently attacked by a dive bomber, setting off further fires that resulted in her going dead in the water. While the shell was too weak to pierce the hull, the explosion detonated her starboard torpedoes, starting off explosions that knocked out both her engines and rudder. While chasing down Taffy 3 at Samar, Choukai suffered a single 5' hit to her starboard side.

But, well, there was a pretty big reason why the US navy took torpedo tubes off their heavy cruisers and Choukai (fourth ship of the Takao-class) perfectly demonstrated why.

The Takao-class were pretty much one of the finest heavy cruiser designs in the way. Makes killing them in my Sims so much sweet.
