Jakeshuffle Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Playing Asymmetric and just...every red ship is on fire! I have a mostly Secondary build on her for the fun-factor at the moment. Is the ship usually a port queen though? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OT2_2 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It's a great ship, which I use reguarly and as a hybrid since her secondaries are too weak IMHO. BTW, great AA - suite and her torps are fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her main guns hit pretty consistently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you also need to take range mod otherwise battles can become a nightmare due to the fact that you won't reach out far enough. Have done that and am cured. The reload of the torps is fast enough, and that their dmg - output isn't decisive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a random, btw with two of your clan mates on my side, where I was "condemned" to do no harm or no harm at all. This was an eye opener, so I went away from torp - reload to range mod.

Asym Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Good discussion... I have my XIV in the Torp heavy configuration. Her Main Guns are 19.1 or so and I really don't see her as a sniping ship at all... Secondaries aren't fantastic but,, her torps and AA make XIV a superlative "raider".... And that means, not a sniper nor a "siege asset..." IMO, that's not her strength.... I am not sure how I obtained her but, the EU missions really were a lot of fun playing her in COOP and ASB's.... And, I will continue to use XIV in the ASB and COOP divisions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an eye opener, so I went away from torp - reload to range mod. ...some salty bassturds?!.... yep, that might been us ..... i do run a full "in ur face" sec build. all sec modules (xcept last slot: mb reload mod!), all skills. only survival skills are ce and fp. earning me this yet (i only go in div, so drop it by the common 5% if u want lol^^): Karl XIV Johan 9 Europe 25 72% 1 754 86 247 1.12 5.32 the guns won't shine on range, under kinda no circumstances. at least not on hard targets, simply coz of their calibre. on the other u have the options needed to rule the engagement against anything but dd's. like torping a musashi from 12km repeadetly without getting spotted even once lol. or to move into his flank while he's focussed elsewhere. and even dd's who blip up within ur concealement gonna curse it thx to secs and hydro... it's, like only a few other ships, a pure tactical tool which not necessarily outguns-, outspeeds- or out-tanks- most other ships, but outsmarts them. a swiss knife. play it as such and u'll see what i mean 😉 *my build: https://share.wowssb.com/PS9V Edited April 15 by MrWastee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
