Alaska In 10.0: Still The Best T9 Cruiser

Before 10.0 Alaska was easily one of the best ships at t9, and even after the patch where it lost some of its survivability it is still one of the best t9's. Unfortunately, it will be unable to be purchased after the next update so get it while you can!

[@sweetpoison5341]

I was thinking about that too. come and think of it, it makes sense, Alaska is almost like a BB, that is not build for CQ fight like Des Moines, so a 10km radar is less useful because Alaska is better engaging beyond 15km. a spotter plane will just extend that heavy HE/AP.

[@lubossoltes321]

when you see a spotter plane Alaska it's the worst kind of damage farmer - the selfish one ... no regards for team utility, just to farm damage ...

[@sweetpoison5341]

@@lubossoltes321 I don't get it. isn't the whole point of the game is to do damage to the other team? How is that doing damage consider "selfish"? Alaska reload is almost 15sec and turn and handle like a BB and with a massive concealment circle. How do you play it so it's not "selfish"? get close and brawl like Des Moines? or rush in and die in the first minute?

[@siriusczech]

@@sweetpoison5341 One of best BB´s in this game (the one we are no able to get for a long time except through satan crates with dubloons spent and gambling) is T9 Missouri, the only BB equipped with radar. And what is good on radar on BB? You cannot be suprised with DDs, at least not for long. 42s radar on Alaska is extremely usefull right due to availability of spotting everything no matter what in 10 km circle around, which is the range of (almost?) every DD´s torp range at her tier and of most from the T10. If you encounter something like Friesland, Smolensk, Kitakaze ... it can smoke up (or be smoked up) 8 km from you, lob HE shell over your island cover and burn you down, and everything you can do about is precisely nothing - if you are not having radar, which is a big gamechanger and pumping HE/AP to any said ship suddenly turns the tide. I know how carefull I needed to be with Stalingrads in my Shima in ranked - 12km radar vs. 12km torps was a game you need to play well. One single radar enlightment is enough to kill a DD with focus fire from your team. Problem with non-radar Alaska is not having a selfdefense against DD, but also in your teammates partly expecting you to have one to help your team, that´s why it is a good slowly pushing cruiser. As PQ said - less cruisers and more BBs and DDs -> you can counter both in this ship, trading more damage for less team-ability performance seems therefore a little selfish and I agree with Lubos here. Of course there is a "bimbo" going round the ship, so when you see enemy Alaska in a DD, you stay away as much as possible because it usually HAS radar, no matter if it uses it (or even has it) or not :D

[@DamianInman]

​@@lubossoltes321 I cannot think of one time that I have run with or against a spotter plane Alaska. On a side note, I always find it amusing when I run against a radar Neptune or Mino in random. Once the shock wears off, they disappear from the map because the team realizes easy citadels are available. I bet DDs might feel similarly if they saw a spotter plane Alaska.

[@destroyer0685]

As a player who did the xp grind the Alaska was worth the time. Besides the large HP and great guns the best thing I like is its speed. The speed and other attributes as mentioned make this ship the most forgiving ship to play as it can get you out of trouble if needs be. On play style I play mine aggressively as speed and positioning does kill (both ways) but handled correctly it can cause havoc against your opponent. Its the classic battlecrusier.

Awesome advise. Island camping for cruisers as only viable game play if you have the arcs for it in the first place. So exciting to spend your time with. So, we have now DE BBs that are camping and CL/CA that are camping because everything else is simply throwing your ship away. Now WG can finally implement SS because the middle of the map is empty besides the occasional DD. I say, now is the best time to improve your CV game play.

To be fair, even the late-Tier US BBs play better if you think of them as Cruisers, especially since you can get citadeled so easily. The weird exception being the NC, that just has so much frontal Citadel armor that you can just bow-tank shots in it, even when they pen the nose. Still can get fire-bombed to death though, but then again, that's valid for most ships.

[@yashma4187]

I do have to take issue with the idea that the Alaska is scary to fight with other cruisers. Without access to FP or BoS, there is not a single ship type in the game more vulnerable to HE spam than the large cruisers, and while the improved auto bounce angles are nice, the Alaska lacks the ability to overmatch most other Tier 9 cruisers. An Alaska is never to going to out trade a "traditional" cruiser like a Saint Louis with HE, and has to rely on getting lucky with AP and/or having the Saint Louis make a major mistake to win the fight. *Granted most players in random battles aren't that good so it's not an issue, but from the perspective of having to fight against an Alaska with another cruiser, I simply don't see it as a threat.

[@yashma4187]

@@ultravires7747 How is this relevant to my comment about how a well played Saint Louis can comfortably farm down an Alaska? From a Saint Loui's perspective an Alaska is functionally just a BB without overmatch or FP skills (aka free damage), unless it misplays and gives too much broadside to the Alaska's AP. The Saint Louis has superior base DPM, better dispersion, access to MBRB and takes half as much fire damage, which means it easily wins the HE trade....on top of having superior mobility which means it also has an easier time dodging.

You can play using islands (but I do not recomend it because if your flank fall you can't disengage and you die) or play on open sea kajt and burn everyone, keep good angle and over 100k dmg is no problem. Best t9 cruiser.And In a first 5 min you can have 50k dmg already almost every shot is a burn,you can tank everythig just keep 17km range. Islands no needed ;)

Let me make a case of cruisers being actually strong ships: Just look at the last clan brawls. T8 with 2 battleships max. usually teams had 2BB, 3-4 Cruisers, 1-2 Destroyers. And it was the cruisers doing the heavy lifting. This might be even a suprise. At most the cruisers (like baltimore) have 27mm plating, most of them has less. That means any 406mm ship overmatches their armor basicly all around the ships. And almost all commonly played battleships (NC, massa, lenin, vladi) have that caliber or more. So they get thrown in a setting where their armor gets overmatched 100% by every battleship in the game. Still you did not see cruisers getting dev-struck day in and day out. While going up in rank, you also increasingly saw lenin or even roma. We picked those ships aswell, for the sole reason of 45mm deck armor wich cant even be penetrated by an IFHE baltimor. We just took it to reduce the cruisers damage output, because its so damn high. It was even worth the trade to lose some range for crossfiring on BBs, just to make them weather the storm of HE-slinging cruisers. Thats because in the brawl, the cruisers actually do, what PQ says here: Work with island. Stay in hard cover, or at least close to it. So even if you suffer a slapp through the nose, you can disengage and not get finished of to easily. A Battleship cant reliably kill a cruiser, if he knows his place on the map. So cruiserplay worked out just fine, and the cruisers were able to dish out loads of damage. Due to that fact, and the cruisers having the radars, they were pretty much key to the game. If you kill the enemy cruisers you free areas of the map for your Destroyers. If you lose cruisers, you lose DPM to fight the battleships and lose mapcontrol so the enemy DDs can really start using their torps and spotting advantage. To me the main difference is: - In normal battles there are more battleships at more angles and its harder to escape them - Even if in a clear T8 match all battleships overmatch already you, its still way worse to play T10 BBs since their alpha is way higher, their accuracy aswell. So the brawls just made it easier to play the cruisers in the way they should be played in normal games aswell.

Yeah, I hate this thing .. It's more or less been the bane of my existence as a German BB player, I don't run into it often, but when I to it's either spamming HE from behind an island, or heavily angled trying to slap me with AP. It's just a ship where my guns are too small to seriously punish it if angled, I can't exactly turn away from without giving it broadside, and if I do, I normally pay for it slightly and even than it will just slowly kite away spamming me with accurate HE as my guns just become more useless as I try to disengage.

The armour of the Alaska is pretty bad, you really need to play it like a ship made out of paper. As a credit maker, the Alaska is overall not suited for Coop. Yes i had nearly 160K damage games. Yet they are rare. Great ship funky citadel shots overall 10K broadside salvo's but paper paper paper yup canons also.

So many salty comments on how selfish it is🤣 Meenwhile BBs played a selfish game since time immemorial, especially after the rework.👍

Come to Asia Server we play very aggressively your players are asleep. Not attacking Asia server they will hunt you down lol. That's why I like to join your NA server lol.

What has happened to World Of Warships in the last two weeks? Over here on the European server teams are getting completely wiped out in most matches and some days is nearly EVERY battle in a matter of minutes. Sometimes it's 12-0. A complete spanking. This is every day and all the time. 'Good' matches and well-fought ones are now rare. This is as well as the CV bullshit, relentless HE Spam and torpedoes added to the nonsense ships like Smolensk, Thunderer et al. This game is broken. It SERIOUSLY needs fixing. I've been playing WoWs for three years but when my current premium time runs out , in about a month or so I won't be playing this game any more or at least for a LONG time. Put simply; this game is unplayable now.

"If you can't beat them, join them" Jokes aside it really sucks.

I dunno man....no Radar AND no Hydro? Yea Cruisers have high DPM good for them but.....Fuck me all of your utility is gone with this setup. I don't think I could make myself take an American Cruisers with ZERO utility into a match.
