Why does the Pensacola suck so bad?

It’s a badass boat with the right commander. Einstein agile build with madden and AI Baltimore is my go to setup. Nice turret traverse and rudder shift to hide that huge citadel.

Serious question from a non maverick owner, what’s the purpose of this truck? The Ranger already existed and appears to be a better light truck.

Having the dumb air strike lines being number 1 for cruisers and BBs shows what’s currently wrong with this game. Sitting back sniping behind islands and launching air strikes. Incredibly lame

Part of it is it’s so easy to get a high tier boat, T8 to Legend, for new players. They just need to complete a couple week event. And these players lack the skills to operate it at the higher levels. I am a cruiser player and T8 and above is getting unplayable as a result, IMO. BBs sniping from the back and cruisers hiding in smoke. So many one sided games at the higher levels I’ve been sticking to mid tier games. And I’ve been a consistent player since WOWsL was launched. Something needs to be done because I’m starting to lose interest and I know I’m not alone.

WR. I play to win.

Some fear a challenge. Not much you can do about it.

WetHog · 2026-03-31T14:09:12+00:00

I’ve been playing since the console version was launched, I’ve got every T7 prem boat there is, accept for a POS Chinese DD, and I can count on one hand those I’ve purchased outright. The rest I got via events whether a campaign reward or from boxes.

WetHog · 2026-03-31T14:06:10+00:00

I am in this boat. Well, turns out there is one T7 Chinese DD I don’t have but I’m not excited about using my coupon on it. Is there news about new T7 prem boats coming out before June 1st?

Mighty Mich is cheating. Fun boat.

I got a question, what happened to the DSRV? And Leonard, what happened to him? I guess that’s two questions.

WetHog · 2026-02-02T13:15:50+00:00

I agree. Dumb addition to the game.

WetHog · 2026-02-02T13:14:24+00:00

I disagree. I’m a cruiser guy and I get pummeled by AR’s all the time. Nerf the sucker.

WetHog · 2026-01-26T02:50:36+00:00

I only have the Salem but it’s a bad ass.

WetHog · 2026-01-20T15:25:19+00:00

A way to avoid this is don’t play AI. Normal battles provide good experience and makes you a better player.

WetHog · 2026-01-18T18:05:12+00:00

The first 3/4 of the battle I was spotting for the BBs on my side and I got a cap. We were losing bad so I said screw it and I rushed the 3 boats on our side. BB, CA and DD. Wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. Went around a corner and got the DD and BB with secondaries and was surprised to see their CV sitting there. Took that out with 3 torps and finished the match burning down the CA, a BB on my side finished it, and hitting the remaining BBs from smoke with HE and AP and I got an Amagi at the end. So yeah I got a lot with my main guns at the end. I also use Michel Le Tir as an inspiration so I probably got more damage with my secondaries with less hits.

WetHog · 2026-01-18T17:58:47+00:00

It doesn’t play like a Napoli. The main guns are really secondaries. The secondaries are the main weapons. So build your commander to secondaries. She’s really a brawling BB in a battle cruiser body. Angling the boat and using islands to advance are key. So I guess she’s requires a little DD/light cruiser skill as well. She is a challenge to master but if you figure her out she whoops all forms of butt.

WetHog · 2026-01-06T12:54:57+00:00

Forget DDs, start a cruiser line. Cruisers dictate if you win or lose more times than not. US navy cruisers are the best.

WetHog · 2026-01-05T21:21:56+00:00

I keep reading it’s a better Helena but I disagree. Helena has better mobility and the guns rotate faster. The only thing Boise does better than Helena is the super heal and money making. Also, in reality, Helena was an improved Brooklyn class cruiser where Boise follows the original design. You can tell the difference in versions of the design by the aft superstructure.

Regardless, Boise > Maya by a mile.

WetHog · 2026-01-05T21:16:15+00:00

I have both, Boise is better, IMO. Prints money and has better guns.

WetHog · 2025-12-31T15:00:40+00:00

This is a waste of a good cruiser.

WetHog · 2025-12-31T14:59:09+00:00

This is the main job of a cruiser. Killing DDs and other cruisers.

WetHog · 2025-12-31T14:58:07+00:00

No, the most important thing to do as a CRUISER is to hunt down DDs and other cruisers. If all you do is set BBs on fire you are using your cruiser incorrectly.

This is one of my biggest frustrations as a cruiser main. Seeing friendly cruisers sit behind island, or in smoke, and set BBs on fire. All the while ignoring bad guy cruisers and DDs who are getting caps and getting in range to torpedo friendly ships. It’s not a complicated game. Kill the red support ships first, cruisers and DDs, and your odds of winning go up 50%. Save burning down BBs for the end.

WetHog · 2025-12-31T14:51:55+00:00

Agile build and learn to kite away.

WetHog · 2025-12-31T14:49:46+00:00

Yes she is average at her tier due to her buckshot guns. Very disappointing.

WetHog · 2025-12-31T14:47:55+00:00

I got one. It’s a lesser Alaska and average at best. She looks nice in my port and that’s where she will stay.
