  • What's left for KM??

This is kinda a whine thread, but also a general question for everyone.
I put this here, because at first hand, there are fewer and fewer KM players every
day along with IJN, so, how do you foresee the KM/IJN future?

There is nothing special left for those nations in the big picture, at least on the BBs
line. SS and CVs are a complete different issue and they maybe competitive yet,
"""""maybe"""".

IJN still has torps, but nobody wins a GB/HA/whatever if it's not a kitta parade with
torps.
KM still has speed, so you can run away from the battle, which seems to be the only
use right now with the first glance of the new SN BB4&5, and still there is the BB6 to
be seen.

No armor, cottonballs firepower, range is slightly higher than the rest but the minimal
difference is compensated with the position of the most common BB5 guns
placement, you have to expose the complete transversal line for a good slingshot on
an H44, with catastrophic results due the lack of any armor.

I'm the onlyone thinking on this? I'm missing something? Consider all aspects, maybe
I'm too short to see the hidden KM potential, but so far I stand that there is
something wrong here.

1. The best BB2?
2. The best BB3?
3. The best BB4? (Or 2nd best, if Stalingrad remains unchanged)
4. The 2nd best BB6?
5. The best PBB?
6. The best ASW SS?
7. The best short and medium range AA ships?

to be honest i dont bother reading the tread with 10+ pages since that would take
years but here it goes

nr 1 : i actually have no idea but the gneisenau is horrible

nr 2 : the cl sized russian bb3 with lots of firepower and range and ability to take a
hit

nr 3: in range its stalingrad since it outranges km and has probably the range of a
montana

nr 4 depends on the situation but most kaisers ive seen gets eaten up by others in a
gb but in ha and etc its good

5 and 6 km u are correct

7 intill the mn pca is nerfed its mn and for now km has the 2nd best pca
but ijn and mn has 2-3 times the range of km aa and about the same damage but it
depends on the situation as some as said ijn mn is best for taking out scouts wich is
correct

despite this tho i love my h39 etc if ur carefull and do it correctly as some has said it
can be deadly towards even bb5's but without sight or a good team its a pain

The only real crappy ship in KM is the H44 and Bismarck maybe. The H39 is great in a
GB enviorment especially when you get to level 120. giong 42 makes it hard for non-
AW L1 to rush me, makes AW L1 easiest food. (I remember counter rushing AW L1's
with AP untill they die xD)

Against Stalingrad, yes, stalingrad with 12" has around L2 range, but it shoots at 45
degrees with high hangtime and is slow as hell. Nothing you can't dodge against and
get back in the line. Also, the same 45 degree guns makes the stalingrad hit way
less at closer range. While KM hits relativily more then other nations at closer range.

Stalingrad hits more like a girl the closer you get to it. While KM hits better then you
the closer you get to it.

The Kaizer is also a great BB6, but not that great in a GB. The SN BB6 is even worse
in GB.

KM is not much of a GB nation. it's an Event nation(BB rooms, HA, FL's). If your in a
fleet, it's a great nation to have. KM has a great SS and is good for CV play aswell.

Compared with US that has the worse SS(crappiest ss ever -.-), or UK with the worse
CV and AA it's only fair for KM to have something really bad. The BB5.

Regarding UK beign a ubber great nation, how about you try out the renown and
repulse, then Hood to the vanguard LOL... Try the Richelieu as a BB4 and you will see
what is a real crappy BB4.

But I agree, KM need a slight reajustment, especially the H44.

i dont know if i agree that KM has the best AA anymore. french sure can put up nice AA
these days. but on the other had i think KM if you know how to play it is a very good
nation. the only ship that truly isnt as good as the other I think is the H44, could
use a knot or 2. anyway all i play is KM and a titch of french. long story short learn
how to play the nation before you knock it.

The KM line isn't hard, the KM BB5 is hard. The lower level ships have significant strengths.

This is my next BB line and I don't see any reason why I should change. It's going to be
a challenge but it should be something to be looked forward to.
