What's left for KM??
03. 20. 2011 13:28

Xtremo	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.

Audessy	KM was my first nation and I have to say, after playing other nations they seem much easier. And still today, in my opinion, the h44 is the easiest to kill. Alsace, and SY on the other hand give me the most trouble. While I'm driving anything BUT the H44. In the H44 my biggest enemy always has been a L2.

Kinetic152	KM still has great slingshot and I agree that if you don't like KM, just use an other nation...

Remenents	KM ships are not fine in general. Everything is indeed stacked against you. Working with the KM ships is not easy, and many new players to KM and to NF are easily turned off by how tough they are to play. Read all the infoormation on KM ships against those of same tier to the other nations. KM has many problems and few solutions. Its not about not liking them, its about good hard facts that all other nations have 4 or 5 advantages and KM has maybe 2 (I say maybe because range seems to be a major issue).

DJDeath	KM ships are fine in general. If you don't like how they play, I suggest you use another nation that fits your playstyle.

Oberstgruppe	There seems a growing concern, Against fixing KM ships to proper specs. and making Royal Navy ships and American Ships far better then they should be in comparasion. This is a general concern. It's no fun when it's stacked against you from the start.

Audessy	@richardphat Well it requires some luck, maneuvering, fake rushing (to make him bored or frustrated), and knowing your enemy (yammy shells are pretty easy to dodge). Never expose your broadside while his guns are reloaded. So pretty much play like a speedwhored POW or Sodak. I'm probably wasting my breath as the whole KM community thinks I'm an idiot for liking the setup. I have had games (GB1 days) with over 200k and have pissed off quite a few montana players. I guess all in all, if you suck with the setup, don't use it. It's not easy, but it's refreshing to have a KM ship that can 1 shot things.

Remenents	Patience is one of the keys with KM. So it shouldnt be too hard if you have played KM a while.

richardphat	Only problem is the question on "How to get in range without being nuked?" Pretty hard, when there is bunch of bb4 or bb5 and you have to wait a miracle for a cv to blind them or AA much.

Audessy	I'm stating an opinion Bong. I forgot to clarify that. And it's okay that you disagree.
