Nice review. i peresonally would take brisk and concealment because you have a 11.5km conceal with a 11.3km secondary range, which is nasty. Brisk to up your speed that is coupled by nearly best in tier concealment.
Agreed 100%, its a lot like schlieffen in that regard, one of its strengths is that its sec range is so close to its conceal, and brisk makes it more comfortable to position and move around
The problem with this ship is it gets up tiered against 10’s and superships, Seen two Atlantico’s in a division today on my team get completely owned by a T10 cruiser.
T8 cannot be matched with super ships its +2 matchmaking not +3 so if you want to avoid super ships stik to T8.
Well I can bounce from Yamato shell with the ship but yes it’s best not to solo anything but it can hold his own
I think ill ass on the dockyard this time. Saw your video on TXI ships and decided to go for the TX Italian Cruiser instead of going for the “special” ship. Thanks for the advise.
The Atlantico seems like what everyone wanted from the us bb split
the Vermont line is good tho
@Janitor The Vermont is an island with 12 guns. They are 457mm, but it’s still an island
Random always suck, but in ranked this would be so deadly
Imagine how powerful this ship must have been in testing when it had hydro, improved pen angles on its AP, and longer AP fuse time that was speculated to ignore turtleback.
It’s not speculated the longer fuse time that it has now actually does ignore turtle back I’ve been citadel me a bunch of German battle ships because of it
I don’t have to, I played against it… It was stupid.
The sad range and lack of spotter plane means that a good captain in any other brawling ship can simply kite away from it and win that way, and if the Atlantico tries to run, they can just turn around, pursue it, and still win by staying out of its gun range.
I would put conceal expert and brisk on this thing. Your conceal can almost match your secondary range and cause it’s good stealth you can actually use brisk which makes its lack luster speed much more manageable.
100% agree
@BigD Been watching streamers run it like this, up to 27 knots (I think 27.9?) and use her to push into rushes or caps with the conceal and let the secondaries do the work. She will suck if you have to chase though, but ideally you go quiet and reposition/move to help the team.
@Swarm509 so pretty similar to schlieffen, just isnt nearly as fast and lacks the torps lol, but still, the stealthy hunter, countering pushes, and using your conceal to reposition, ill feel right at home in this thing lol
Couple of corrections:
1. 127s with IFHE pen 26mm not 27mm
2. Price for the final phases is 3900 not 5000
It’s 1750*3 right not 3900? I mean 3900 is just starter pack right? Pls help
The total for the last phases you have to buy is 3900. If you buy the starter pack, you won’t have to worry about this
@Sea Lord Mountbatten The starter pack is 3900
true fact, im more in it for the steel, plus another premium ship as well.
I think replacing grease the gears with brisk and emergency repair wiht conceal turns this ship into a sneaky ambusher. You should get 11,5 km conceal which is only .2 longer than your sec range. And you get close to 29 kt while not detected. probably fire prevention for the lask skill. Concealment is not that usefull while the dds are around, but we all know how fast dds usualy die these days.
Conceal and secondary range match like they do on german BC-s which is always fun. You get spoted and seconds later your secondaries are blazing away.
One suggestion, at least for Dockyard ships videos – show the construction in the Dockyard? I know it would probably add another 5m to the video but it may be a nice touch. ^.^
I really like this ship. You can get the speed up a bit more by putting Brisk on the commander, so while the ship isn’t detected, it gets a speed boost, and if you can get your concealment down to 1:1 with your secondary range (200m diff), that’s another plus.
I took this thing into a training room last night against 4 bots, a Hannover, Zoinsky, T10 IJN CV and a Henri. Using just the secondaries, i got 220k or so damage, with half of that being fires. I got about 440 or so secondary hits, 23 fires.
I would definitely recommend Adrenaline Rush on this ship to bring the secondary reload down even more as you take damage, go full sec build with Conceal Expert and Brisk, would definitely turn this thing into a nice little T8 Secondary Thunderer.
There is another plus to “waling” this ship. Not only do you get the 1000 steel at stage 21, you also get a grand total of 5500 steel for completing each of the phases from 1-22, so that’s 6500 steel total.
I also think this ship is going to be good in Silver League Ranked, where it will be facing T8s (and 7s i believe), and nothing higher.
Good write up! I was thinking this ship would be be a beast in tier 8/9 ranks battles. At the very least she is an unique ship that isn’t just terrible out of the gate.
you can use brisk to make him faster, he have good cocealment so it might work
I would love to see more BBs that have better armour and less range. Far too many high tier ships these days can deal damage from 20km+ and that’s cancer for the game.
I think you should get concealment since this ship is like the schlifen in a way
seems like a solid bb and finally a decent dockyard ship.
it’d be fun to see this ship having a special mechanic, where the 234mm guns have T10 secondary range, but the 127mm is the usual T8 range. That’d be great to see. Or a similar consumable as the Hannover, where you can boost your secondaries for a short period of time.
Is a new pan American line coming? Through I think this ship might be fun, its hard to justify getting if captain training isn’t a partial function.
A major downside of this ship is the nation. Most people have to grind a new commander. And for he secondaries to be effective you need a high point commander. If you talk about the heal, please mention how it compares to other heals. Those numbers mean nothing to most people.
