  • I hate the Pluton, but why am I still using it?

Anyone? Why are any of us still using this horrid little ship?

Maybe we hate it so much, we have to keep playing it to prove it is somehow good. It's
like the llittle engine that couldn't and never will no matter how much it tries. Maybe
that's why I, among other still use her.

Maybe it's just to weed out the weak players. If you lose 1 on 1 vs Pluton......ouch.

Honestly I thought that it'd have a mine rail, like the KM SS1. Maybe it still will,
someday. Till then, why we will all still use the Pluton.....like the number of licks it
takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop, we will never know.

Take it into Blitz with the 3.9 L49 doubles and laugh as every dd and cl that sees you rushes to their death thinking
you are a normal Pluton. My only complaint it that the L49 guns burn through shells way too quickly.

I have one thing to say about Mn ships

Ur gunners need 15 lv over if compared whit lv turrets.

If ur nor got it, ur ever have retard spread, whit any ship.

Yeah, it makes a decent AA ship with 3.5 duals... still waiting for the 3.9 duals
though... don't know about their performance... for the T-slots I use HHs with 2 binds
each... with a bit luck you can kill a sub or force it to surface... or if all CVs are
gone you can leech a bit with them... this is expensive though...

Personally I didn't like the Pluton at first, but fell in love with it after fitting the
3.5" AA guns on it. I even skipped the Emile Bertin and continued on the Pluton until I
could use the La Galissonniere. Though I must admit the AA is pretty weak, but once you
get the hang of it you'll be able to down planes as easily as any other AA CL. Golden
angle is 25-26 :)

so from wath i get from u guys(havent actualy got it) its sole and only usseles
purpose is to be a mine layer
but question is how many ppl actualy tried to use it as a mine ship, and were, in blitz
or in GB(were im guesing one shot from bb2-5 kills it)
so basicly after studiing it i came to the conclusion u need to be a litle drunk to get it
and play it for soemting else than minelayer

Well...... from a historical stand point, she was never meant to be a CL.... She was a
mine layer from the start.... the sad part is, due to poor planning from the French, she
was supposed to lay a mine field, plans changed "AFTER" she had armed the mines. She was
then told to unload the mines in harbor and one of them detonated and set off the rest of
the mines on the ship, blowing up the ship and killing nearly everyone on the ship. She
wasn't ever meant to be a cruiser from the start.

okay strapped the lvl 49 3.9s on it and OMG what a difference!


the lvl 49 2x3.9 guns have a fairly tight spread and range with the 6/55s and hit as
hard as the 5.1s, with a reload on par with the usn 3/70s.

Now my only question becomes, how come the proper guns for the ship are 21 lvls
higher then the boat?

I actually used the pluton to bypass the jeanne and suffren

The main purpose of the Pluton is to provide food for the Aganos. The poor Aganos
(and Didos) have to have something to best. :D

My first run through I was not impressed with the Pluton. I've come back to it with my
second BO and my gold bar gunners and i'm fairly happy with it. As Storm has said its
an AAW/ASW boat. The AA is weak but long ranged and pretty accurate and you're able
to provide SS defense. Works really well since this particular BO is headed for the SS
route anyway so he's got a sonar man on board already.

Oh and the lvl 49 surprise would be the heavy 3.9s correct? I've not tried them. What
are they good for?
