Izumi’s buffs have made her very tough, and her guns are good enough.FDG is a stinker still. With the winners taking on each other in the final! I am a thoroughly average player, but I have managed a 60%+ win rate in this boat somehow, including a Kraken and a personal best damage record.My best results have been cruising around no more than 1/2 speed for the first 5-10 minutes and try to be far enough away that I can't be crossfired but also where I can shoot as many targets as possible. (My stats: Großer Kurfürst avg dmg … Very satisfying (especially for a DD main) :)So she takes some getting used to, and you will potato a bit at first...but when you have the upgrades and the play-style down she starts to pay off.But whatever you choose, find something you enjoy playing! Just learn what proper angling is. So, I've owned an Izumo forever and just unlocked the Freddy. It's the most straight forward and has the lowest learning curve. With guns. The guns are actually amazing, they have a 830m/s initial velocity, which means they are extra punishing for those pesky cruisers and dds, plus they have a lot more penetration too.

The gun buffs make her a lot less painful to play, but she’s still enormous, clunky, and hamstring by awful firing angles and a low gun count.Our experiences differ vastly when you mention the Alsace. Bow on tanking and parking no longer works all the time with all the HE spam there is. Take it to T10 ranked, all of sudden it's not so good against all the bullshits T10 has to offer.

So I am playing the Vladivostok mostly, as I’m aiming for the Kremlin(Of course). What's really amazing about it is the initial velocity, it's so fast compare to other 16 inch guns, especially Vladivostok'sFor my own experience, soyuz is mostly the same as vlad, with some small differences (60mm deck means you laugh at lexi and kaga he bombs), faster traverse. I don’t really care about the Lion right now as I barely have enough credits to buy one T9 bb(who gives a fuck if you already have the THUNDERER).God knows I still have to buy my Seattle. I don’t see why you would term it as so when the thunderer punishes you for misplay quite often.I recently returned to wows and grinded the Russian BB line in ~ a week, I feel the highlight of the line is T8 and T9.Sinop has the highest win rate across charts, but personally for me, it was not as enjoyable. This feels like the highlight of the line if you enjoy close range brawling.Soyuz armor isn't much stronger than Vlad's, but there is a health pool increase. I love the ship and use it as a flanker. So, I've owned an Izumo forever and just unlocked the Freddy. Always think of an escape plan if you need to bail and go dark for a while. Overall it's quite solid, but I wouldn't keep it as the GK is just too damn fun not to playIzumo has very trolly armor, and is quite accurate with extremely fast shells, but the turret traverse and rudder shift made me hate it. Also, 30 SECONDS TURN TIME !! The fact that it is so penetrateable though, and how much RNG the guns have make it (IMHO) the worst battleship to play for unicums, but the most newbie friendly T9 BB, since mediocrity is not punished as severely.On an unrelated note though, I thought you were quitting WoWS..... Nice to see you are still around.And then, you encountered a CV that is of higher tier than 7 and got deleted.By insanely tanky, do you mean the least tanky T9 BB? Skipping the tech tree because you have Thunderer is very much a mistake. Now that the Brits have citadels, mistakes will be harshly punished.IJN is fine as always. Conserve health and don't yolo, and pick good positions where you won't get flanked.By the way, Soyuz served me very well in Tier 9 Ranked.Can't comment about Iowa, as I never played it and never will, I don't like USN battleships (dropped the grind at North Carolina).I have had amazing luck with my Iowa since I got it. Best Tier IX Battleship? Unless someone nearby activates Def AA and saves you.But yes, she is the best T9 BB in my opinion. Tbh I haven't played it since they buffed it, so it could be a lot better than I rememberstats+experience indicate fred or anything german really for guaranteed 75% in 3 mansIowa / MO were sent down from heaven to bless us with bountiful citadels and endless salt for our potatoes.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castA game about huge boats.

What have we done to deserve this, Wargaming?Press J to jump to the feed. Cus if you're arguing otherwise you're fooling yourself.To sum up the general thoughts you'll generally see:Izumo: Guns are really good at times, but the ship itself is too large without any real benefit.Iowa: Good ship that punishes much harder than the others if you have to turn and pull back.Except at T9+ you will never get close unless you play against scrubs.
