For Operations, which are your favourite ships?

[mystikmind2005]

My favourites are a bit limited since i only have German and Russian tech trees and currently building American tech tree.

1 Defense of Naval Station Newport - Bayern
2 Aegis - Gaff Spee
3 Killer Whale - Molotov
4 Raptor Rescue - Molotov
5 The Ultimate Frontier - Scharnhorst
6 Narai - Scharnhorst - exceptional in this mission!
7 Hermes - Have not played this one much
8 Cherry Blossom - Shabayev (since it was the only ship i could use)
9 Operation Dynamo - No favourite, i just stay with the fleet and watch everyone else run off on the point farming frenzy.

Thanks for that!
3) - Only killer whale is the same choice, lol. ... the Molotov AP can one shot the forts, but also its HE swats destroyers like nothing else! Few ships are good at both like that.
6) - i do run Gneisenau in Narai, but i find the performance to be quite inconsistant, not like Scharnhorst which is consistantly good.
8) Cleveland, like everyone else! lol, i just got the Cleveland last week, have not used it yet.
9) Icarus? Ok thats an interesting choice? Care to elaborate?

My game in operations tends to go something like, attack first enemy spawn, kill enemy planes, kill enemy cv, repeat, hope others did stuff ;)

Carnt go wrong with that. ... i like that "hope others did stuff" hahahaha.... on quite a few occasions i have been fighting my ar-se off and surrounded by enemy on all sides and then i wonder "well what the F is my team doing?" then i see most of then are dead and one BB will be miles away somewhare stupid, every time!

5-6-7 - Any operation where i see at least two Atlanta show up, i know i can slack of because the mission is basically won already!

8) - Why is everyone using Cleveland in Cherry Blossom?

It was an easy ship to unlock due to the tech tree shuffle, rapid firing guns, great flyswatters and DFAA, hydro for torp beats, Radar, and decent armor.

[Ryuu]

Yeah, Cleveland is my only ship suitable for that operation, got it for free because i had T6 version

[Donegali]

I can't remember some of these operations so might have wrong ship type.

1 Defense of Naval Station Newport - Budyonny maybe
2 Aegis - can't remember
3 Killer Whale - Budyonny
4 Raptor Rescue - Budyonny
5 The Ultimate Frontier - Scharnhorst
6 Narai - Scharnhorst
7 Hermes - Don't know
8 Cherry Blossom - Chapayev, Cleveland, buffalo - in order of preference
9 Operation Dynamo - Sims

[Talyrn]

Havnt played many of the operations since they were rebalanced to drop the CV;s. Edinburgh does Cherry Blossum well, you just dont get a huge number of plane kills at the end

Thanks.... i took the hint it must be a good ship because so many people use it in that mission. The only dissadvantage i could see is that in my Shabayev, i can draw the fire of the enemy away from the Marines, but those Clevelands never seem to draw the enemy fire? Anyway, i never minded being the missions punching bag, it simply made it far easier to get five star every time.

It was a big job getting the Cleveland, the American cruiser line was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful up to the Dallas, but then the Dallas and the Hellena were decent ships, so that later grind was far more enjoyable.... the Dallas and the Hellena play much like a Molotov but with better AA and general survivability, but it constantly irked me that they dont have torps, so aside from grinding to the next ship, i never chose to play these by choice because of that.
