Fixed that for you...😉

 

Solid T7 ranked pick.  It's no Atlanta....but probably best non Atlanta/Oakland class ship.

BTW - not needed for Ranked but in Random the buffed Eye in Sky skill is now a no brainer for Weimar... only problem is means you have to give up something on Lutgens or respec him... and unless running some kind of lighthouse spec... that probably means giving up TGG.... but now you can take the consumable skill too.

Well, realistically you will get some use of torps in 1 of 10 ranked battles at best. In others it's no special ompared to other T7 cruisers. Something like Boise is much more useful with super heal

Tbh......the Eye in the skye on this ship is a bit of a noob trap. One of the exploitable characteristics of this ship is that one can fire its guns at a closer target, while not being detected  by others, even if  open water. Granted, the target must not see you  but that's just a  matter of positioning.

Idk..... Boise/Nueve  was a  little monster in brawls but I found Weimar far better suited for ranked.

 

Anyway, the sunny days  are over.

Not really. Weimar has a unique spotter consumable with a larger range boost than normal (which she very much needs), but it has only a 60s (vs. 100s standard) active time and a standard long cooldown (240s). Eye in the Sky turns that short active time into an exploitable asset - if you want to drop your maximum range you don’t have to wait as long for the plane to land as other ships, and the halved cooldown time (and the extra charges) from EitS means you’ll likely have another charge ready to go when you want to use it.

Agreed. Boise/NdJ have even shorter range with no way to boost it, no speed boost, and no torpedoes. She’s arguably more survivable than Weimar, but a lot less flexible.

Eye in Sky no long has active time penalty.... and you pair it with the spotter plane mod so that you get a 78sec active time with extra charges.  It makes a lot of sense now....for PvP....

Now if you play ops a lot then you might keep Lutgens with TGG.

I know. I was referring to her standard 60s active time, which is quite short. Eye in the Sky was a terrible choice on Weimar before the skill was changed, as a 30s spotter plane was borderline useless.
