I also basically use that build but I swap out the consumable captain skill and the 2p skill for AR, because AR is still one of the best skills in-game.

OldSchoolGaming_Youtube Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) I think most of my build is probably quite common and same as most others use as well, but my Vampire II build I actually will try RPF/RL skill, because I think it could be a good way to hunt down enemy DDs and kill them since I have low conceal and the long range hydro/crawling smoke combo. This would help me know exactly where a cap contesting DD are in the cap with me, and when I push him in my smoke it also helps me dodge his torps (knowing what direction they will appear from), and it would also help me hunt/kill surviving DD trying to flank around in the late game. Usually I only use RPF/RL skill on my torp boats to stay outa bad gunfights but in this case I think it can be good as an offensive tool. The reason why I dont use this skill on my Sherman (whos also good at killing DDs) is his bad conceal (6.5 km) and I rather have "Main battery and AA Expert" for that 15+ km gun range. My Vampire: Last 4 points will probably go into "Superintendent" and "Incoming fire alert". I also use the Special Smoke and hydro upgrades which gives me prolonged almost perfectly synced hydro/smoke duration. My Sherman: Of course also running Halsey so when you get Confederate (which isn't uncommon in Sherman) youre SAP guns with some Adrenaline Rush gets a sub second reload and turns into Minigun from hell. I also try a new setup with most of my T10 BBs as well. Loosing "Emergency Repair Expert" for the benefit of "Furious" which gives all BBs 10% faster reload every time youre ship is on fire, explained in PQ´s video below. I think this can be very good, specially with British ships like Conqueror, Thunderer and St. Vincent who gets an extra heal for free when getting 2 kills and also another 10 % reload buff after getting "Witherer", which isn't that hard in these ships, using Cunninham captain. So, a potential 20% reload buff on ships like Thunderer and St.Vincent ..... YES PLEASE!!!

xamdam Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Nothing special... My Lutjens I use on my KM BBs for Operations / Asym. He's spec'd for Bismarck, but I play him with GK and Pom (Asym), Bismarck, Tirpitz, Odin and both Scharnhorsts in Operations. He does me just fine. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamdam Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 In fact, I run the same build on another 21pt regular captain with Schlief for Asym and that works well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Karasu Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 I have to confess I gave up on RPF completely following the captain skill mess-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG44_Vet Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Thanks @xamdam, I was wondering what some of the latest Lutjens builds are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamdam Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I'm looking for a solid secondary focused build for my Massachusetts and Georgia (21pt Halsey). This is for Operations (and Asym, while it lasts... otherwise Georgia only gets used in Halloween or the occasional COOP). Any recommendations?

xamdam Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) @Snargfargle Thanks again. I actually went for something just a bit different but yes, the IFHE and Manuals are a must. For Ops / Asym at least. I tested a few times before adding IFHE using full fire signals and then again with IFHE and NO fire signals and got similar results in the amount of fires set, as in about half. The outright damage IFHE gives more than compensates for the fire duration damage. Now things go pop around me port and starboard... lol Feels much better. Thanks again! My slightly different selection. And a battle just now. Narai, staying center with the convoy... I'll take the eleven fires for the 14 kills. No transports were harmed in this Operation. No fire signals were burned. Edited December 28, 2023 by xamdam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamdam Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Now if I could just get the shipyard to straighten out my main gun barrels... Maybe I got the Fall River versions, full of Pidgeon poo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xamdam Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Now I'm looking for a solid Montana build. Not necessarily PVE spec, but rather PVP (though I probably won't play it there much). I'll be using him on my Missouri and Alabama and Arizona in Asym and Operations, maybe... if it works out. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? I often pick fighter over spotter because it has faster cooldown, so I can spot over island more often when pushing or anchoring mid and late game. If you can deal with the atrocious rudder shift, you can swap UU out for concealment mod.

mRex Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Just received the Sun Yat-SEN in a Santa create. Have Za Zhenbing for a captain. Just looking it over looks like it would be worth specing into secondary's. What is a good build to run on the BB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Karasu Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 @mRex Welcome aboard! As for the captain build, I got no clue myself. The Sun Yat-Sen is a Soyuz class ship but with a battlecruiser dispersion. Wiki will tell you the WG recommended choices, but before rushing to use those, you might want to hear from any players who have real experience with the ship first. https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Sun_Yat-Sen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bog-standard survival build, especially with Sa Zhenbing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was forced into using a secondary build I'd do something like this. Otherwise I'd do a normal build on her like this 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwastuesday Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Respecced Zao for maximised asw duty down to even airstrike mod. It's kinda funny. Problem is still that nobody hits with the asw planes, I sure as hell can't predict which direction the thing is going to go in 15 seconds even when I see them. Mostly I've been killing them with guns because they surface for some reason when I use the subradar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sort of predict where it's going, unless it's stopped, but often the biggest problem is the lead.

Yeah, well, another aspect of this is that other people need to hit it too and they usually don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
