Super Ships

[roelof]

Are they worth the cost, especially the battleships

[Hiei]

Imo no, They bleed money and are made to be a credit sink.
They're also targeted often.

Short answer: "No".

They're expensive, they are expressly designed to lose you credits every single battle.

If you're asking because you think being top tier is some guarantee of good performance - then you will be disappointed. They aren't a substitute for good play.

The Xmas event rewards from them are good (decent amount of steel); but if you're choosing between that and two Tier 10s, I'd rather have the Tier 10s and thus the xmas certificates (nearly half of a mega crate).

There's more value to be had in working through the other lines' tech-tree grind quicker than getting a Tier 11 that will end up being a port queen if you're already struggling for credits.

The main reason to get one would be sheer boredom with the other tech-tree ships and thus wanting to mix things up with new ships and some new gimmicks - end game grind stuff.

They are quite fun at times but I really wouldnt recommend them unless you are sitting on a huge amount of silver. They also vary in quality from being pretty much just an upgraded version of the T10 to a couple whcih are arguably T12 when compared to the other superships.

Anyway, as above they are are massive credit sinks and next to impossible to make a profit in without some good eco bonuses, prem time and a great match performance.

Edit: Its worth noting that some recent clan battle seasons have allowed 1 or 2 superships per team with the rest being T10, so that might be a consideration if your clan doesnt have access to many ships of that level and are taking part in that mode.

Nope. Only if you're loaded with credits and want to try them out. It depends on your situation, but I think if I had less than 300M credits I wouldn't think about it.

I have four tier ten ships, just wasn't sure if they are worth it, thanks!!

If you have premium time *and* blue boosters, then you stand a chance to make some credits, but not many at all.

And frankly, while they are fun (Hannover is ops is crazy fun), it's expensive fun. There are tier X Special ships that cost you way less to run that play similarly to those super ships.

You want the biggest guns in the game? You don't need Satsuma. You could just get Shikishima.

No but also putting them in with the regular ships you almost get 1 shot which is unfair

Super ships? No, as a general rule they have the same guns as T10 ships. They may have a couple more, and/or a bit more armor or HP. They're usually not drastically different. They're T11, so T9 and 10 can see them - same as most of the other tiers. +/- 2

From an economical point of view, no they are not. You may however find them fun to play with and willing to invest the credits necessary to buy and run them.

So long as you haven't unlocked most of the tech tree lines, I would advice to invest your credits into that first though.

[Jackson]

You can also run green boosters on T11's and probably cut even toward making a bit of money if you want to do that. They're probably better used on premium T9's unless you have a lot of them, but you'll feel better not losing money on the 11 :)

NO....! As said. t-11 ships are a credit sink

Pretty sure literally everyone else said this. But its still possible to make a profit in them if you are using the right boosters with prem time and play particularly well.

they where also made to address the fact that exclusive t10 players where always top tier by adding another tier it made them have to get the ships so they could always be top tier don't be surprised when the tier 12's come in
