Trying to decide whether I should just give it up and sell it.would appreciate other Cleve owners chiming in and giving their opinions. Now all I see it good for, is as a DD hunter? Boring!!! I want my planes back! I felt that as a T6 it was a jack-of-all-trades, it could be played against anything with a good measure of confidence. I'm not really interested in pinging for hidden DDs or doing satellite sweeps for enemies on the other side of the globe. It now has sonar and radar (whoopee?) but no planes. I have other T8s (Mogami, Takao) and consider this re-tiered Cleve way below their league. In the T6 version, I had no qualms about attacking BBs with it and could wrack up serious damage before getting sunk now I'm so disheartened with it that I find myself hanging back till the second half of the battle and targeting the cripples. Not sure what the intent of the change was, but I find it's no longer the kind of ship you can play aggressively. Wish they woulda left it as a T6 where it was enjoyable and effective to play. Mikhail Kutuzov 152mm - 19.1km - "Because why not?" - StalinĬleveland's range is typical for the tier.

So trading shots in the open is a death wish, even more so for the USN CLs than even the USN CAs.Īlso, for those complaining about Cleveland's range, I want to provide these values to keep things in perspective.Ĭhapayev 152mm - 17.33km - Armored like a wet paper bag The best part? The USN CLs are worse protected. Not good, but this is normal for Cruisers.

The current citadels for the high tier USN CAs. Not to mention US Cruisers have always had suspect protection in this game.

We were already making islands our waifu for ages. Open Water fighting with US Cruisers in high tier had always been dangerous, even for DM and IX Baltimore. Not to mention those high tier CAs got guns, shells that make shooting at range easier. But the scary thing with Zao is her concealment range as she can sneak around for some good surprise shots, then fade away before too much fire gets focused on her. Zao not as fast as Hindy, but her shells hit like trucks. The Hindy and the Zao scare me the most because of the higher rate of fire.
