WG has something against England. All British T8 cruisers are from Terrible to Bad and Premium Tier 8 Battleships... I wish this would have a Heal and 10 KM torps like originally... I mean give this thing standard AA range, standard heal, 10 KM torps and separate slot for AA, this thing would be so much better.

Late to this party. Boiler explosions* being boiler explosions, the engineering spaces still need to be armored. It is just that the aggregate lengths of the magazines and shell handling spaces is less, if the turrets are only on end of the citadel, not both, so the belt length is shorter. I got the Nottingham in the summer event container, and I was underwhelmed. It is a tier VIII UK Pensacola, with torpedoes, but not the Pensacola's great guns. * I am not sure exactly how horrific boiler explosions are, but George F. Brock was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, for his actions on the USS Bennington, after a boiler explosion killed 62 ratings and an officer, in a peacetime incident.

What I find more interesting about this event are the selection of ships they're selling and some of the bonuses you can get. Like really? Nottingham, Indomitable, and Cossack? I think the best choice there is the DD honestly but I sure wish they were selling other RN ships like iunno Warspite and/or Hood. And then there's the coupon for sale. Honestly I think everyone's better off getting the 25% and 20% off coupons (which are like 5 Nottingham tokens compared to the hundreds for the other ships) and _maybe_ passively getting enough for the Cossack.
@ashleighelizabeth5916 Жыл бұрын
Cossack is definitely the best choice. Hood I swapped a bunch of coal for because I had close to 800,000K coal in storage, and Warspite I just went ahead and bought outright for my birthday to get the value back in doubloons to spend later (usually on a discounted Black Friday ship in my case). But yeah I have no interest in this thing and not much more in Indomitable.

How in the heck can a British cruiser not have a heal, and have bad AA? Those are the strong points of British cruisers.

@@ImpendingJoker I'd have to disagree. It IS tissue paper, but besides gunboat DDs, the guns do great work against DDs (At less than 10k unless you can aim), you can farm BBs, have a GREAT area denial capability, and the torps are no joke. OH, and they chew aircraft up. You CAN have some absolute shit games with the tier 9 and 10, Pan-Asian line but you can also have some pretty phenomenal games as well. They DO rely on a half ass team since besides the defensive fire and smoke, they don't have defensive abilities (hydro and radar). Again, those torps and considering they are supposed to be torp CLs, they do a damned good job of that. I am not claiming to be a Unicum player (50% win rate), but they work just fine. Maybe, I am biased because, I got three dev strikes in one torp salvo (with TRB), but Double strikes with their torps isn't all that uncommon either.

It is odd that Russian ships come out and need a major nerf, while most others come out needing a buff. The game is fun, but premiums are now seldom worth bothering with.

If WOWs wants to keep this a Tier VIII: add 2000+ tons for better armor; give it the same AA as the Hampshire; add a standard heal; increase MB guns to 9.2" (234mm) and a 17 km range; increase torp range to 10km; keep the consumables and spreed the same. The first would be the Nottingham 38 and the second the Nottingham 41.
