Wait like 20-30 seconds to spawn after everybody else.

Depending on the map, it might not be a bad idea to just sail around the very back of the map (I like to go between spawns, back and forth) to keep yourself hidden. General rule is whoever is closest gets fired upon first.

Especially true for cruisers since they pretty much always spawn in open water without the option of cover.

Don’t trust the aiming reticle (if you’re playing arcade). Aim above it if your target is sailing away and below if they’re sailing towards you.

i can do without all the losers p[laying skr’s
since the fix they fixed they forgot to fix again … how unusual

so another event i am not bothering with

12

I have the Dunkerque nearly completed. I am not sure I even need the Strassbourg for anything.
Dunkerque will give a a nice 30% bonus towards something, Strassbourg won’t.

13

Spawn the Mitscher and the Wilkinson at that BR. You will eat SKRs alive and they can’t do anything about it.

14

First stage flied by like a breeze, working on spadin Renown, grinding France with Dupleix and some other BB games with Leonardo, Fuso and Missisipi!

15

I’ll probably talisman the Strassbourg. There aren’t any decent premiums in the French tree, and SL is never a problem in naval.

16

And I could talisman the Dunkerque. Which would also double the 30% bonus. So that is not an argument for anything really. As I do have a talisman on Loraine, even that is not very appealing at the moment.

17

I wasn’t claiming it was. I was just adding a comment.

I also found Britain 4.7 to be highly capable.

the problem is they very often spawn in the 3.3 - 3.7 br range
mostly by poor players of 100 lvl who have problems not being the op vessel

In BR5.7, Prinz Eugen is another kind of scharn.

In my opinion, Soviet BR5.3, American BR 4.7/5.0/6.0, German BR4.3/7.0, Italy BR4.3, French BR4.7 are the easiest BR to earn event star. For British? Gaijin totally ruin it, only BR4.0 boat like Orla/Peacock can play.

HMS London, feeding on Murmansk-spam!

23

Just play coastal and farm the hell out of bots. Had a 24 kill game last night in the Dark Aggressor.

24

County-class cruiser‘s turret almost don’t have any armor, so it’s will suffered by Moffett’s spam SAP or other 5.3 ship’s AP ammo.

25

Can’t say that I’ve had more problems in London vs US destroyers more than any other 5.7 ship.

Personally, I think 5.7 is a good BR for cruisers now, becuase of not much uptiers due to so many Murmansks in the matchmaker.

26

Agree, BR 5.7 is a sweet point for cruiser now. In this BR have less opportunity to against battle ship, and 8inch cannon is enough to cause damage to 6.3 cruiser.

I prefer Soviet 6.0 cruisers at rank V in RB for these tasks. Maximum score multipliers plus superior damage output over time compared to BBs result in stages getting completed in 4-6 battles, depending on the BB/cruiser ratio of each battle.

The Zheleznyakov is one of my all time favorite ships. Absolutely monstrous damage output at 6.0, maneuverable, fast, and a large crew.
