How's Your Kitakami Resource Grind Going?

Hi  @Vader_Sama, I'm sure you were one of the many who killed the Operations in the Weimar, getting the best out of that ship in the scenario given.

How have you found the Kitakami; it's early days, but have you enjoyed her gameplay (do you have any tips for those that have also purchased he)r?

It's certainly a ship you would need to have patience for in order to flood the seas with torpedoes.

 

The ability to switch from fast regular torps to deep water ones is quite intuitive. You have a great flexibility in sending out ideal torpedoes for the situation.

 

For game modes like co op and asym, you can almost play it like the Paolo Emilio.

 

Gonna need more games in it to get a better feel or results for what works best.

Appreciate the quick reply, thank you. <O

I like that you can go crazy on a solo run in something like Co-Op, which can give people that instant high score result they may need (when the patience approach isn't working in other scenarios, and they need that feel good fix! 🙂).

However,  as you indicate, I think the real challenge of playing her well will be keeping hidden, having the patience to reposition, and finding that optimum window to hit hard for the big score. I like the torp choice option, which is like a reward for a player who has managed to play well and deserves the opportunity to get the best result from their play. 

 

I'm sure there used to be a specific thread about the Weimar scores(probably where I remember your name/entries from?), but I think that was less skill and more opportunity based.(Just to confirm I am not saying those that scored well in the Weimar - weren't also skilled!😝). 

I just think the Kitakami will be a better ship to really showcase the skill of some players; I'd love to see good players get the best out of the Kitakami during a Random game. Thinking about it, I believe watching that type of game will reflect more of a kind of submarine 'silent hunter' type game - more than the current sub game IMO. 

Not saying a new thread needs to be created for the Kitakami, but if you have some good games in her (as described above), I think they would be well worth the post. 👍 Thank you.

I think it is more a 'one time camo' pick up - rather than something that is looking to knock your socks off lol.

I believe it is a one time pick up for this event, so those that have it - well, we'll all know they went 'all in' for the whole shebang! A high roller if you will. In the future (when we've forgotten the cost), some will enjoy the fact they went all in - and the camo will reflect that.

For those that get her, I expect it will be something special. 😀<O

 

I even ended up getting the camo myself, as I still liked it more than the standard camo.

It's nice the camo is better in your opinion than the standard one, as it helps with the resource cost decision - but now when you see the camo, you also get to remember you were one of the 'High Rollers' that went all in during this event 😃 I think the ability to move before anyone else at the start of the match and having a Lowrider effect thrown in for good measure should also be included lol <O 😎

I am 240K of XP away from getting my Kitakami. I only need to finish the last Harugumo regrind... I could already have her but I used most of my steel to get Incomparable first. 

[Titus_Pullo_13]

I have all the coal and steel ships I'm interested in. I can wait until a new ship is released or I can try for kitakami. im at 68% don't know if I'll make it.

Done since friday :

And I'll stop here : camos are not worth the rest of coal/research points/steel.
In my eyes at least...

The funiest part though happend with the first of the four crates :  I don't play subs. Yet...  😄

And in the second :

Tried it...well. Not interesting to be fair :  Dm or Salem do it far better. Should have been put to tier IX imho.

But among the 3 other ships, Defence is interesting (a cruiser with 356 reloading in 15").
And Ferrucio is rather funny to play.
