I went through the Montana line at the very beginning...Comming from the pre-buff Colorado, the NC was such breath of fresh air...It was amazing! Still one of my favorites.

I feel you, Montana was my first Line too. I'm currently grinding through the Vermont line and it's absolutely miserable. The Kansas feels like such a downgrade compared to the absolutely amazing NC. I'm straight up not having a good time right now...

@ Kansas was bad. The Vermont, though slow, is worth it. (Those guns!!) And the Minnesota is a decent improvement over Kansas. Hang in there!

@Riaining77 күн бұрын
I comment because you mentioned Colorado. Tier V New York was the battleship that made me fall in love with playing BB, enough to get through Colorado... and eventually get X Vermont as my first BB. I have never regretted getting that BB as my first. I did get NC with the free ship this christmas season, great advice PQ, as you usually give. Thanks for the content.

Iowa is kinda bad honestly, just a longer North Carolina that is faster. But at t8 NC is one of the best BBs.

What? Did you slot dispersion mod on slot 6? It's day and night difference. Telling 27 mm plating cruisers to sod off, flanking and catching broadsides, etc. While still have the speed to go in and out, and the concealment to do so? Yes, the hull eats pens from strange angles, but the consistency of the guns are much better.
@paddington16706 күн бұрын
if youre good at aiming in long range high tier games, Iowa slaps. If youre used to 16km range t6 BB gameplay, NC is better

I ran the American BB line as my first BB line. I didn't have a great experience .. but years later I realize it was me not the ships. Going back through the line really helped me learn positioning and angling to enemy fire. Its a great starting line to learn BBs .. if you can do well in the American line you can apply that knowledge to every Nation and be a far better player. Cheers PQ

I got the CLR version thinking it would be good to have one with the bonuses. Didn't realize I already put the bonus package on the tech line NC. At least I have one as a captain trainer!
@Anldiot696 күн бұрын
Also got the CLR as it was cheap and as much as i hated the NC grind, i thought it couldn't be as bad as i remembered it. Turns out i really dislike this ship today. After years of playing, having grinded every line and got far better at the game, i still hate this ship. My main issue is the accuracy. For some reason i get the most frustrating/trolling salvos with that thing. It seems the dice rolls the worst thing on every roll. Super slow shells aren't that great too. I have the Roma/Littorio, which are known for their terrible dispersion, but i find it fairly consistent, which makes no sense, considering NC should be similar or better. Iowa and Missouri are a tier higher with similar play styles, but okay ships for me. Montana is a bit sluggish, but of my favorite T10 ships.

To expand on the dispersion benefit of range mod: My understanding is that it improves vertical dispersion, because the same vertical dispersion is now applied at a higher distance, so at the same distance as before the vertical dispersion is smaller.
@erikdellabianca7007 күн бұрын
I’m re grinding the Montana line and oh boy I missed the NC. It’s not my favourite ship, not even my favourite battleship but it’s the only ship that doesn’t frustrate me. Sure you can have trolling dispersion but 90% of the time if you aim correctly you get rewarded for it. I understand why we need dispersion and RNG but sometimes I wish we could have more ships like this. And this comes from a 50% WR player, not a super unicum that can aim with blindfolds on.
@tsuaririndoku7 күн бұрын
Tbh, I choose Schlieffen because I hate to grind as Ziten. BUT, NC is not a bad T8 pic, hence Mexi is horrible. If WG make Mexi a little bit durable like Citadel deck atleast 35mm, I would say the grind is quite solid. Yes, only thing I hate about USN grind is Mexi. Not NY or Colo. Mexi is the worst ship I’ve ever experienced so far. Second close is Ziten. No, I already tried IJN line and I don’t have any issue with it. Nagato is close to my fustration but not as extreme Mexi. British BB line also fine, so does BC. Soviet? I’m not even bother. Too plain for me. French BBs seems solid. Yes, of all BBs I experienced so far. Mexi is the worst of them all. Colorado sounds bad but I don’t struggle with it. Actually I found her being more enjoyable than Mexi.

i received montana alongside tallin through combat missions available a couple or a few years ago and idk i had a hell of a time with NC, I'm sure my skill level at the time had a huge impact but i ended up using free xp to skip probably half? of the grind to iowa, which was 100% worth it, i think iowa is an awesome ship, i have more fun in iowa than i do in montana. I should probably give NC a revisit soon though
