Andrewbassg Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) That is the question...... On one hand I feel (a bit) the urge, aka GAS ( Gear Acquisition Syndrome) on the other the rational guy says that's TWO fully "paid" ships.....perhaps more. Hmmmm.....

Verytis Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Should had made a poll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kynami Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Ultimately up to you, but the people in my clan who actually got it have pretty much only played said Kitakami 6-8 times each. The Defence on the other hand has been getting a heck of a lot more play and some of them were having fun with the Ferruccio in ranked. That huge torp spread is meme worthy... but so is that outrageous reload time. And if you get spotted (which is quite easy with 12km radar proliferation at T10 and carriers being in every third game...) you do not live very long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensign Cthulhu Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If I'd had the resources for Kitakami, which I did not, I would have got it for the memes. "...or not to puussh..." You're in the labour and delivery ward, screaming at your girl to finish giving birth to Kitakami.😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Simpleton Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I watched Flambass play an excellent match with the Kitakami and think it can truly be an effective ship in random against all ship classes. Get it if you can and please don't play on the enemy side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_cant_Swim_ Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You gotta have it. You just gotta. Then take pictures and show off to us: you and Kitakami on holiday, at the beach, drinking cocktails. We will drool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocqueville8 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Don't be silly: you have a month still to go, with the 2x RB reset before it's over. Do some tech-tree regrinding and save some steel, at least. You only have Stalingrad and Plymouth if I read it right, and while you have very few RB ships as well, at a rate of 1700 steel : 2400 RP you should pay with the latter whenever you can.

BlueNautilus Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I voted "nay" because that's a lot of steel, and looking at your profile, there are still other steel ships which you don't have and which are probably more useful/versatile/forgiving. Having said that, ultimately it's up to you 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh.......I thought it is the last moment..... How i missed tha actual deadline..... Thank you, yes dis changes everything. Btw no more Plymouth, I gave her back, hence the steel.... 22 minutes ago, BlueNautilus said: I voted "nay" because that's a lot of steel, and looking at your profile, there are still other steel ships which you don't have and which are probably more useful/versatile/forgiving.

BlueNautilus Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Just now, Andrewbassg said: Yeah but thats the thing, I dont see ships which would peak da interest.... According to your profile, the vast majority of your random battles are played in cruisers. Stalingrad is a ship some people call boring but it can do well in randoms and still features regularly in CBs. Plymouth is probably an acquired taste but if you're into cruisers, you might like it (see here for an interesting view on it). And if you like to torture yourself playing CLs, you just might enjoy Austin. Those three are arguably different enough from tech tree ships to merit consideration. Plus, you have less than 5,000 battles in random, so your views on which ships appeal to you could well change, e.g. once you start playing BB/CV/DD more often. Maybe take a look at some YouTube videos of Kitakami games, and see if that kind of play style appeals to you? But don't just look at snippets showing where it does well; you will want to see full replays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SureBridge Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Good Kitakami play is boring on toast (just like good Jager play) - but it's a serious (prolonged) adrenaline ride when you are making plays in either of these boats, particularly if you need to open up with your guns (Jager's guns are better BTW). I'm also considering getting Kitakami, but having tested it's various incarnations I know what I'm getting, and need to decide if that's worth it. That said, can you imagine 3-4 of these in a clan battle? Pick a cap and completely flood it with torps, wash rinse repeat. I guess you can already do this with a bunch of Shima's... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stain is not necessarily my cup of tea. i mean she is a strong ship, no doubt buut...mmmhm.. Austin did make me wonder, but she seems to be waay too situational and team dependent vs Colbert for that price tag. As for randoms i have a bit more 🙂 coz NA too, but I greatly prefer ranked and special modes i have more ranked battles than randoms (5700 vs 5200 EU 5300 vs 1100 NA) . The OG randoms were 9v9, all maps and indeed the whole game was conceived under that premise. 12 v 12 is waay too much, but Wedgie run with it, coz reasons. Yes I like cruisers 🙂 i like the pirate style and to pull the whiskers of the sleeping tiger 🙂 BBabbies not so much, Cv's at all, coz while I like their battle influence, the current iteration is not.....lets say "optimal" and also the rinse repeat and against the clock playstyle, ummm.....nope. Dd's ... I would have liked them, but Cv spotting is a big nay and I don't think that the touted changes are in the right direction.

Deserves to be talked about and a LOT of attention. I would recommend starting a thread about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe_trueno Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 if you have the resources go for it. but be ready to experience some serious buyers remorse when other ships appears and you don't have the resources to get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
