Riga best TT Cruiser for Ranked? ... looks like I'm not the only weirdo. 

I still think Alaska is overrated for this format, sure it is a durable ship and packs a punch... but in a world of Kitakazes, Mogadors and secondary BBs? I don't think she's so great.

The useful aspect of fat cruisers and petroline is that they create a real crossfire with battleships, instead of doing nothing at all. They generate angling problems for the kriegsmarine push.

I can't take this list seriously without Z-46 on it, especially with some arms race battles. The 3 you have listed have very little cap presence, unless taking the far cap from the start with a Mogador is considered cap presence.

While I hate playing tier 9 cruisers I think if I had to put them in a tierlist that is how I'd do it. Porbably move Donkey, Riga and Kronstadt down while moving Buffalo and Siegfried up slightly.

While Alaska is easy to farm she can still slap around quite a lot with the AP. Riga trades that slightly, gets burned less but slapped around a bit still. Trades huge chunks to smaller AP chunks but more consistently.

Siegfried

Her strength is her long range accuracy, downplayed by her few guns and long reload. Which aren't exactly advantages in ranked, and in current "press W" meta. Agir is better. U don't take conceal, but rudder and profit.

Siegfried can actually pack a punch at all ranges. Especially if you go full balls to the wall and run outnumbered and TGG for the tightest, grippiest, pinkest dispersion around.

Let me say this, I have had a revelation. Firstly, I was wrong. There is a tier 9 cruiser I enjoy for ranked. It is... 

RIGA

My least favourite part about the ship, was dispersion. I  have managed to rectify that situation with my quite interesting build. This build is not advised but I really enjoyed the game I had with it. I'll play with it a bit more and hopefully finish tweaking it to have a final build.

This is a demented, dented and quiet idiotic build. However the guns were extremely consistent and I managed a fun game.

That's quite similar to my build, thanks for the implication 🤣.  But what's that weird thing You packed in module slot 5?

Also I'm not a fan of Outnumbered, I prefer extra HP for extra tankyness.

Concealment makes the radar kinda of usable, it's probably the best pick in that slot.

I just wanted to minimize dispersion so I went all out, if I were to perfect my build I'd probably swap TGG for AR and the AP damage skill.

Oh my... did they changed the icon or my memory is so fckd I didn't recognize the icon for the module I use on almost every ship, including Riga. 

I will blame this one on ageing and sleep deprivation...

Outnumbered now improves dispersion? I had the idea it only improved RoF and speed.

Top grade gunner improves rate of fire when there's an enemy in your detection. Outnumbered improves your dispersion and speed when there are a certain amount of enemies in your main gun range.

Looks more or less like my Petrobuild. Dunno about ranked but I can say I very rarely activate outnumbered in randos. When team dies spotting dies.

There's been a lot of discussion of all cruisers and the TT battleships and destroyers, but how do the premium BBs and DDs stack up? Musashi, Georgia, Black, Jager, etc.

Nothing, but there's nothing wrong with prems either.

Depending on how free I'll be I might do a premium tier 9 list like this one. I can see people are interested so it gives me a little boost of confidence here and there.
