I bought the Viribus Unitas for my NA account as it was an uniquely offered Austro-Hungarian ship. The only purchase for my, otherwise, FTP alt account. One has to play it carefully as it's one decent ability seems to be hard hitting Maun gun volleys. In some ways, it's rarity assists it in being left alone (or is that more a factor of the lower threat it poses?). 😁 

Shared a battle with @MidnightPhoenix07 and Altwar.  Good game.  🙂   

On the EU forum there was this player who praised the Asashio to the sky yet he was being continually dissed for this opinion (mostly due to his alleged poorer play of it). I gave this player some post support and, viola, out of the blue, this player gifted me an Asashio. A nice gift horse 🙂

When CVs were RTS, I bought the GZ. Yes, there were waves of storms or was it storms full of waves on the WG Forum about the differing plane loadouts offered. I'm never shy about posting & criticizing WG - got me forum banned, however, believe it or not, I never made a comment about the GZ. I ran whatever the max TB load out that was allowed. When War Failing ruined CVs with the rework 😒, I sold all my CVs including, ofc, the GZ. Btw, I, almost, always had my CVs moving the whole battle 😁

What I find with the play of the Lenin are a few points LWM brings up, bow tank, find a good place to get some flank cover & duel at medium range. Lenin is, as LWM says, a dmg sponge that can deal out good dmg. One has to play it conservatively, picking the times to push to support.
