Jinan versus Balao

A one-on-one fight between a DWT-armed light cruiser and a lethal submarine. (And some interesting in-game chat, courtesy of the enemy team. 😄)

It has been quite a long while since the last time I played the Jinan in Random Battles, and I have been sparsely playing Random Battles since Personal Challenges in Update 12.9 arrived as I did it all in Co-op and Operations. I decided to play the Jinan again, after seeing a post here on the forum equating the Pan-Asian light cruiser to the Smolensk.

I spawned near A, but the presence of the enemy Des Moines, supported by the aggressive enemy DD and submarine—on top of a CV—made any push very difficult. DDs are immune to Jinan's DWTs, and their enemy DD was playing it smart, giving his team early warning for the DWTs I launched to deny them control of A. After 13 minutes of trading ships and HP, all that was left near A was my Jinan and the enemy Balao.

And it was time to sink the submarine.

Not hard to avoid homing torps in maneuverable ship. I hope for some buffs to subs, currently they are pretty weak

That was some serious tail wiggling. WP.

Thanks! 

That last torpedo salvo from the Balao nearly destroyed my ship. Good thing the brakes worked. 😅

This reminds me, we need homing main-gun artillery for Italian BBs.
