Best Tier 6 Premium ship?

[Brand212]

for DD, Cruiser, and BB

Thanks!

For DD I would pick T-61
For cruiser my pick would be Graf Spee but you have to get to know her a bit , then she’s pretty good
BB , I don’t play much but I’ve seen Warspite doing pretty good.

Perth is good (basically a modified Leander) but cant be used to train Brit Captains. T61 is certainly a good dd, and Warspite has its strengths.

Would recommend invest in the nation you will be grinding most as prems make good captain trainers.

Oh about that.. I honestly dont know how to play British Cruiser. Im just taking lots of damage in them.

I prefer cruisers with a little more meat on their bones. like the USN or Soviet Cruiser.

Any advice on how to run with those floating citadels hiding in smoke CA?

Well, here's your choices:

CV: Ark Royal

BB: Mutsu, Arizona, West Virginia 1941 Maryland, Prinz Ediel Friedrich, Warspite, and Dunkerque

CL/CA: Molotov, Graf Spee, De Grasse, Huang He Choung King, and Perth

DDs: Shinomme Fubuki, Monhagen, Type 1940 T-61, Aigle, and Anshan

Out of all the BBs, I like Warspite the best, but Arizona and Mutsu are both pretty strong picks with their high accuracy. I have both Maryland and Dunkerque, but I've yet to play them since I've been focusing on grinding out some lines. PEF is also good from what I've seen, as well as looking at her stats and how accurate her guns are compared to the competition, albeit lacking number for 350's and having battlecruiser armor. Dunkerque is in a similar suite to PEF, being a battlecruiser at heart, but having her guns all forward, like Richelieu/Jean Bart.

If I would have to rank them? Warspite, Maryland, Mutsu, Arizona, PEF, Dunkerque.

CL/CAs a bit lacking at tier VI IMO. Molotov is pretty much a slightly better Kirov, but that isn't saying much since her armor is still paper, and lacking punch on her guns compared to 203mm armed cruisers with similar reload times, but having fantastic shell velocity. Graf Spee is a different type of cruiser that doesn't play like any other cruiser our there: she plays like a mid-line harrasser, able to smack cruisers, and penetrate BB armor, but lacks DPM versus DDs. De Grasse isn't anything special from what I've seen, being a usual run of the mill fast, lightly armed and armored CL and doesn't bring anything really interesting to the table. Choung King is an apocryphal modified Arethusa class cruiser Aurora, with a pointless torpedo reload booster, and creeping smokescreen: she lacks DPM and HP compared to Perth, which is a full fledged Leander class cruiser with an additional turret and slightly more HP and comes with spotter plane on top of the creeping smokescreen.

My Ranking? Perth, Graf Spee, De Grasse, Choung King, Molotov.

Fubuki is basically Fubuki Ayanami with her full gun complement with 3x2 A-XY format on top of her torpedoes at tier VI: This makes her pretty deadly to other DDs at her tier since her alpha is pretty high per one salvo, but acquiring her requires completion of the Honorable Service Campaign, making her rather exclusive and rare. Monhagen is basically a premium Farragut, which is a good ship in it's own right. However, her Hull B has her drop her X and Y turrets for AA guns and larger quintuple torpedo tubes with longer reach, and unlocking torpedo reload. It turns her into a true torpedo boat with little in ways to defend herself. Type 1940 T-61 is not a bad ship from what I've heard and seen, as her concealment is better than EG by 600m, and has 68 sec base reload on her torpedoes, which is pretty fast for her tier. Aigle is very similar to it's tech tree counterpart, but it has smoke instead of reload booster, allowing her to play a bit more aggressively with smoke. Anshan has regular torpedoes compared to her sister ship Fushan, which allow you to play her like a better Gnevny, but otherwise little difference besides some small stat differences like HP, concealment, and rudder shift.

My Ranking? Fubuki, Monhagen A, Type 1940 T-61, Aigle, Fushan, Monhagen B.

Interesting write up, as I've never played her before, cheers.

Of the ones I have, I'd say:

DD: Monaghan. Astounding versatility in that little boat! T-61 is right behind it though.

CL: Degrasse. Nice allrounder!

CA: Graf Spee. Tough as nails and hits hard, even if somewhat RNG dependant. Reasonably versatile too.

BB: Really tough. Warspite is the uber-tank, Dunkerque is a cruiser's worst nightmare. I have yet to see a bad one in this tier TBH.
