Itwastuesday Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) Time to spread capitalism First attempt not so good, pushed around an island and a random humphreys had pushed all the way behind it. I note that guns are very satisfying. It's the civil war all over again U S A! U S A! I was so hyped for this ship. And I still am! 16 Montana guns, man! Who else is on board the destruction train? EDIT : I autopiloted the American rangemod, but whatever am I supposed to do with 28km range? Maybe Main Battery Mod 2?

Congrat's. I too was very excited for Maine and got it 1st thing yesterday morning when the update went live. I even linked the same camo on it you did LOL. So far I like it a lot although its citadel seems to scream "HERE I AM...OVER HERE...HIT ME". Seems more Iowa'ish than Montana'ish in that regard. The guns are also a bit wonky. That 1.7 sigma really is obvious. Overall however I like it a lot. When you do get a good salvo it really slaps hard. I had to experiment in slot 3 and slot 6 on it to get the optimal performance (for me YMMV). I ended up with a combo of MBM2 and MBM3. I went with reducing the 35 sec reload over improving the bad accuracy with APRM2 in slot 6 because I can't stand long reloads. I originally went APRM1 in slot 3 but it has good enough base range, the accuracy long range is just abysmal, and MBM3 slows the turrets down a LOT. It was like playing Yamato with APRM1/MBM3 so I swapped out for MBM2 in slot 3 and the 37.5 sec gun rotation (w/ GTG on Capt) is WAY better. Congrat's again on your ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved my camo just for this occasion. I find it one of the more pleasing national colors camos. And yeah, it's not an addition to the long line of can-be-only-citadeled-by-long-range-plunging-fire-or-not-at-all ships. Which is good. It's as it should be.

You have plenty of range I'd just buff turret traverse and go dispersion mod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBTHEBALL Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I don't see why people are so pressed about superships, they only cost credits and even then most of them are barely upgrades over the tier 10s that came before them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the initial releases soured many to them forever, I suspect. Funny buttons, huge damage increases and infini-planes. Had they originally sticked to around Clausewitz power level, I think less people would have objected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but I would say it represents a perfect balance point for T11 ship. More on Maine : I got to prevent a strike from full Midway torpedo squadron yesterday. Not a single fish in the water!

Yedwy Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 35s reload on 16" guns and no special "F key" gimmick? IMHO even more pointless then Patrie or Devastation which at least bring some cruiser overmatch and "thermonuclear HE" respectively, she doesnt even have taht big a HP so meh...
