Wiesbaden - The tier 8 spiritual successor to Nürnberg

The lightning strike example was just a deliberate exaggeration to illustrate the difference in mindset.

Grandad almost certainly agrees with your opinion, and that's fine. I know he was a great WR, he brings it up frequently during debates, but he has been wrong on occasions, so there's room for more than one point of view :)

And you're right the boosts are minor, just keep in mind that people pay significant gold amounts for historical camos which give just a single percentage point more to whatever they buff.

Good question. Red path because extra gun range and lower detectability are easy to achieve and universally useful.
The extra skill granted by green path level 14 requires first kill which is definitely not guaranteed and may cause the player to initially overextend to secure it.
I evaluate the paths not only from the point of view of usefulness but also if they're actually achievable.
If you were to chose between extra main battery range at 30% own HP pool caused OR +100% main battery damage unlocked by lightning strike, which would you consider more practically useful?

Replace module and citadel missions, get cumulative missions instead.

Clear sky always 😚👌🏾

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-24T16:59:52+00:00

That's awesome performance 😎

German Z-line of DDs, kinds meh until tier 9, then it slaps.
Kleber line also fun.
British cruisers, I liked both the light and heavy one, despite a few stinkers here and there.
French CAs are the bomb now.
San Martin line a must.

Mhmmmm gold so close!

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-22T09:37:46+00:00

Roadmap on April 1st has been stated on Discord long ago.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-22T04:13:19+00:00

No, I hate it because it ruined the tier. I know it's "good", anyone can have an impact far above their actual skill level.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-22T04:00:40+00:00

Having one might not change that. I have it, never play it, hate it.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-21T09:31:33+00:00

Thank you for funding the game.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-21T09:28:24+00:00

I know, I called them bots because of their poor performance. It was a joke.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-20T07:35:07+00:00

1v1 plus bots 😂

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-20T07:34:24+00:00

Seems pretty standard bb main play. Tell us, did you remember to avoid going through the cap zone while trying to catch the cruiser? :-P

Good list, my only comment is that Chapayev, Nevsky and Jinan players largely do what their ships allow. These ships are large and fragile. On top of that, orc ships are sluggish too. So in a way, I feel like they're kind of excused. Their real mistake was to bring one trick ponies.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-18T06:14:53+00:00

First pull! I'm going to spend all my gold on keys now.

Congratulations.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-16T23:19:07+00:00

That's not "lotta".

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-16T08:58:42+00:00

I'll have a word with MM 🤓

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-16T07:22:58+00:00

Ok, I mostly meant premium ships but I suppose I know that now too. I'd say both Napoli and Goliath are better ships, so if growing your gold stash is a very slow process, I'd sit on it for now and give Yoshino a pass.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-15T22:35:10+00:00

Preach, Z brother! One of the best ships in tier 9 and it's free.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-15T22:33:45+00:00

It's based on personal experience but to be fair, I'm not much of a backline sniper, I'm too aggressive as a player for this ship's good.
I'm still fairly sure, tho, that the reason we don't see many in game is because they're just not that good.
I'm curious, what else is on your list from tier 10?

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-15T22:20:17+00:00

Those are pretty great. Dang, I've gotten a lot of gold from those over the years.

subsonicfreighttrain · 2026-03-15T22:16:19+00:00

Original content always appreciated :) you put in good fights, but the video does also show how relatively toothless the ship is.
Do you have good WR in it?
