I play it depending on what my team needs at a specific time. If it calls for a ballsy BB play, Alaska can do that. If it calls for me to delete an offending cruiser, I can do that. If situation calls for me to hide behind an island and sling HE, Alaska can do that easily. If situation calls for a radar ship to flush out a pesky DD, Alaska can also do that

@rexstuff4655 4 жыл бұрын

Great suggestion. In the case of the Alaska, she will generally lose long-range HE duels, as her DPM is poor. A DM, for instance, will beat an Alaska 100% of the time, in a bow-tanking situation. Her nose is also overmatched by most BB AP she faces. Don't try to go for her citadel, as you'll never find it, just do pen damage and you'll chunk her down fast enough. No icebreaker bow, either, so no worries about bouncing shots to her nose, unlike Russian supercruisers.

@angryfroge 4 жыл бұрын

@@rexstuff4655 "A DM, for instance, will beat an Alaska 100% of the time, in a bow-tanking situation." + Desmo beats every single ship in the game which is not able to overmatch her nose in a bowtanking matchup where she can dictate her own engage and is in her comfort zone. Thats one of many reasons why range module on desmo is kinda questionable even if it works.

@darkhawk4863 3 жыл бұрын

She's a fantastic ship, i don't regret dropping the million free XP on her at all. The dispersion on the guns is usually great, and the penetration is enough that BBs have to respect it, and the radar duration is long enough for DDs to have to keep their distance. Ultimately this means what she's best at is area denial. She can harry any target at most any range, and can punish mistakes hard, especially from enemy cruisers.

I'm not getting shot at much, i'm doing 100k dmg on average, a few kills. I position correctly to maximize the amount of dmg and annoyance i can do, I radar DD's and hiding cruisers, i shoot down lots of planes. lol why all the hate.
