In some ways Neptune is superior to Mino, it's longer range AA actually makes it easier to ward off CVs, and you get higher alpha per salvo with 12 shells as opposed to 10, making Neptune's surprise strikes against DDs even more devastating.

Watched the game live, nice to see it uploaded with commentary on YT! One thing regarding why Mino AP is so hilariously powerful is that the autobounce angles are almost SAP level: 60° to 75° on Mino vs 70° to 80° with SAP. So while you will get more bounces than with SAP, you will still get some pens at similar angles to SAP. Which is really crazy considering the ROF with which this thing dispenses balans.

Cruiser has stayed pretty similar but having transitioned heavily into the British CL line, very fun; rewarding ships that are a challenge to play. I'm going to give radar a go with a similar build on my Neptune; I'll probably just go pop, but its all about supporting the DDs.

I have 62% WR on my radar Mino, I can attest to the hilarity of this ship. No DD can really fight this thing unless they're on a div with another radar cruiser or they miraculously have their entire team pointing their guns at you. It's a build that bullies DDs into quitting the class, and is one of the few remaining cruisers strong enough to make T10 CV players think about striking you next time.

Mino and Neptune are my favorite ships in the game. I used to take double rudder but I've settled into a concealment with smoke, RPF, and Hydro. If a DD is smoked up, I'll just use the smoke against them to get into hydro range, delete them, and be gone before anyone has a chance to react.

@astrofog46383 жыл бұрын
I got out my Thunderer a few days ago to take a break from my radar mino....so boring! The mino without smoke puts you on edge from the start to the very end of each match. You are always one BB salvo from death..even when at full health. Your utility to your team is at the whim of matchmaking and your team's play. Open maps increase the difficulty considerably. I play an AA build - and focus my game play on DD and air denial. If you have a DD (your side or red's) that is cap focused (about half the time) you can have a strong impact on the match. With an AA build you can protect your dd's and any pushing BB's on your side. When red's CV get's a bee in his bonnet and focuses you - watch your plane kill counter take off! You will consistently take the cap on on your side if you're working with a DD. Match win/lose goes down to how your team handles the other two caps. Keep in mind that when you are detected you are the primary target....every red ship in range targets you! They will ignore your team's DD that just dropped torps at them and try to take you out first. I don't have the map awareness that Potato_Quality has and I can't dodge/predict to his level so I'm pretty mediocre at the unique game style the mino introduces into the game. But it's a lot of fun...the most fun I have in the game is with the radar Mino. You play like a dd (with good torp potential), hit like a cruiser (guns), and fold like a house of cards when broadsided.
@Peter-je6td3 жыл бұрын
Yep I like ranged mino but with smoke I build full aa also and act as a buffer to screen my BBs from the enemy CVs is so good watching the CVs planes melt and they get so frustrated and any BB that sits bow in still melts as the saying goes (Throw enough shit at the wall some of it will stick 😊).

It is viable and fun in random, not so well in ranked against skilled dd players. A radar Mino can rarely catch experienced dd player in a bad position in ranked, and those 152 APs cant pen angled dd so it all depends on how unpreprared your dd oponent is. I have many experience facing a radar mino in ranked in a dd. Even when caught sailing towards a radar Mino by her radar, all i have to do is just reversing, use W/S key in alternation if necessary, and the Mino doing the radar trick in this process usually got obliterated or HP-decimated by 305mm+ APs, or she would quicky get out of the 10km radar range kiting away, and I will chase it to make sure that Mino is kept spotted to be deleted if there is no enemy dd present nearby.
