The usual disclaimers apply: everyone knows the Matchmaker clearly loves me because I spend money so that's why I occasionally get really good games, not because I have any particular skills of note. The idea here is to elabourate on information not commonly available through reading statistics and provide some (heavily) biased anecdotal evidence to encourage or dissuade you from making your purchase. The goal is to allow players to make an educated decision before parting with their time and money and to find premium vessels that suit their chosen style of play, whether that is competitive, cooperative, or simply for fun. In fact the entire RU DD tree is garbage because of those 130mm steaming piles.The following is aimed at new(ish) players looking to find a little more information about various ships from events, for premium currency or for real-world cash. Yeah Anshan, and her sisters Gnevny and Fushun are terrible ships.

Oh yes the HE shatters that never happen to any other DD caliber guns. The horror of shooting AP only to be penalized with citadel ribbons on cruisers. The many matches I've suffered through using those high velocity flat arc shells. It's pretty easy to clear 1500 base in a t6 win with any DD, not so easy in a loss at any tier.Īh yes, those notoriously weak and universally panned 130mm RU guns. You might have issues with xp in T6 wins, I certainly dont. Id almost say just go no concealment and full gunboat. I can’t believe I’m pushing that over Anshan. But the HE just shatters at long range and the DPM and fires are so poor. The concealment can be seen from the moon.

The torpedoes are also anemic and not enough and easily dodged. The range is poor and doesn’t allow you to simply gunboat all day. Her guns are anemic and barely ever pen nor set fires. And nothing else really wants her captain. GD dumb BB line that was.Īt tier6 it takes even longer to get those 12 skill points. Frankly the RU DDs and the RU BBs turret traverses should have been reversed.

I’d argue she basically sucks: the turret traverse is soooooo bad that she needs both EM and the turret turn module and for you to not make too many course corrections while firing. The upside is you can play mid tier if that’s more relaxing. A loss in mid tier almost a waste of time. A win is about the same as a loss in high tier.
