[@GintaPPE1000]

Minnesota doesn't use Colorado shells. She uses a fake shell that WG made up the weight of to justify nerfing the alpha from 13500 to 12800. The penetration and ballistics are identical to that of Iowa's guns.

[@Yurobeat]

Interesting, I always thought the shells are somewhere inbetween Colorado & Iowa but can't see any other nuances. Thanks for clearing that up o7

[@John_McCarthy1]

and the guns just like on Constellation are listed as 16"/45, when both the Lexington CCs and 1920s South Dakota designs were drawn up with 16"/50 cal guns.

[@airplanenut89]

@@John_McCarthy1 A couple other fun facts about those guns is that they were copied from the US Army M1919 16'/50cal coastal defense gun, and when the Lexingtons CCs, and original South Dakotas were cancelled, they USN transferred the guns to the Army.

The Minnesota was such a fun ship for me catching people by surprise. When you have a long reload most people have a hard time telling if you’re reloaded. Then I got the Vermont when the skill Dead Eye just started and Vermont was an absolute monster then. I still like Vermont now and still have fun with it and I appreciate the fast heal it has now.

Big oof. When I saw the video screenshot I was like "OOH, COLORADO WITH 12 GUNS". Then I remember I quit the game since 2020, and I mourn the game it once was.

[@devinaschenbrenner2683]

I stopped playing in 2019, I got so fed up with the perpetual grind that seems to take place at tiers 7-10. And the game is designed to basically have you throw money at it to make things go slightly faster. Even after 2 years of playing I only had 1 tier 9, 1 tier 8 a hand full of 6's and a couple of 7s. No where near tier 10. I have it unlocked but the XP amd credits is where I'm falling short.

[@DavidWilliams-hf8sc]

@@devinaschenbrenner2683 2 years and no tier X? Did you ever consider its not the game that sucks? Go back to candy crush, and stay there.

[@siriusczech]

@@DavidWilliams-hf8sc it is not about candy crush and player problem - it is about the grind. When he said he had bunch of ships ranging from t6 to t9, I felt it immediately - I played the game the same way when I started. And while the grind was not easily sped up in 2019, you still wanted to play and make progress. So I myself remember playing IJN cruisers up to Myoko and then not having enough credits for Mogami; I also started another lines and while you could sell ships and get SOME credits back, it wasn´t enough to get you past certain mark in the grind; especially if you weren´t unicum, didn´t have tons of signals, premium account (remember - F2P game) and - most importantly - wanted to play preferrably ships you need to gain XP on (hence why I had like 10 branches started in various states on T4-T6 myself without any T8 and higher). What also plays against you in this scenarios (and what you have no idea about as a newbie) is that each cruiser plays differently A LOT from other cruisers and the same goes for BBs, DDs and CVs (at least at those times). So by using "xp bonuses for the first win of the day" and such you were circling through many ships while not mastering any. I only later (and after a year-long pause) I found the will to play again and actually finished my first T10. Now I have dozens of them, tons of knowledge and stopped playing again due to steady increase in aggressive monetisation while providing less and less customer friendly behavior. My relationship with the game became extremely toxic for me and I had freed myself from it in March 2023. Probably for good, this game is not going the way I would enjoy anymore

Vermont is great. Best WR out of all my T10 BBs somehow. So reliable, smashes things. And Minnesota is where you start with that, to get used to it for the T10, after th awful grind of the Kansas when not top tier.

I don't understand the Kansas hate. Sure its slow but anyone that gets in range of the guns gets erased.

[@ImpendingJoker]

@@l7986 Yeah but, they have to come to you because you can't catch anything in KS, and the short range on the guns means you don't do a lot of shooting.

[@libraeotequever3pointoh95]

Kansas is the ship I sail when I want to enjoy a meal while the main guns reload. I have the golden pin-up camo, mounted. The Kansas is a gorgeous full-figured lady who unhurriedly does her best, and teaches us to savor every moment.

[@Alvaro89Rus]

yeah, I played them when they were relised, and only fun in them was for opponents, as being slow huge helpless target.)

[@LordoftheLavalamp]

@@Alvaro89Rus Cant agree Yes, you gotta know when pushing in otherwise you are dead meat, but the mobility makes it kinda easy to wiggle and dodge, the Guns are actually accurate and you will always get your Damage. The AA is enough to wipe the sky from one attack squad and the acceleration makes it easy to throw peoples aim off. You didnt enjoy them? That good for you! But maybe you should have a look at how you played them, should you ever revist them !
