Vermont Owns The Middle of the Map

[@OnlyAfcc]

Yep, Vermont. I just love this ship. It's just learn you, how to be patient. In return, it give you fantastic guns and accuracy.

[@onyxdragon1179]

Got this ship recently, still getting used to it, but only complaint so far is the constant overpens at certain ranges. The 40 seconds reload I can manage (I managed to lower it, so no complaints), and the shell speed is manageable too, but the overpens on broadside BBs can be a bit frustrating. On the other hand, I get way less ricochets or shatters than in other ships. And yeah, playing kind of central is the best way to go; if you go in a flank and the flank collapses you wont be able to get away easily. That, and, if it goes really well on your flank and now your team starts moving to the opposite flank you'll be left behind, though your gun range is quite good. Best to play between central cap and one of the side caps.

[@johnnychaos1561]

Really like the Vermont myself. Positioning is so important.

[@Pake154]

Vermont, what an underrated ship. Used It in Rank and it took me there in spite of all the gimmicky ships I was put up against. Best ranked game was 4 kills and 2433XP. In that game and on my team was a Mecklenberg with 2 kills and a Shikishima dead last. All up against a Thunderer, 2 Schlieffens, Z-52 a Salem and a Yoshino.

the fattleship returns

[@neb1006]

I really struggle to do well in the Vermont, the guns are nuts, but don’t seem to land big hits for me

[@atpyro7920]

super vermont literally gonna be a tillman battleship with like 150k hp and 20 510mm guns. and then they name it something stupid like oregon💀

[@Dont14-r4k]

To add it has 30 sec reload and stupid accuracy. Plus top speed of 28 knots. Then it will be put up against tier 9s

[@Richie_RHD]

i feel the USS New Jersey could be a contender for the american super ship.

[@hiddentruth1982]

seems like once you get bad rng it haunts you the whole match.

[@sameerkharade7750]

Hey PQ, can you experiment with the reload mod on Vermont? Should be interesting IMO.

[@mcgee9777]

It’s crazy how a concealment, maneuverability, and heal buff turned Vermont into one of the strongest battleships in the game period. The ability to sneak up on almost any other t10 bb and having comparable detect to most heavy cruisers is absolutely absurd. 12 457’s at 12.6km is terrifying. I started using it in cb’s and our team went undefeated. Hell my first time back in cb’s after 5 months was a 4 kill 175k massacre of the enemy team. Who cares about a 40s reload when you have such a big alpha strike with very accurate guns. Vermont teaches the importance of patience and shot selection. It’s a wonderful ship and definitely too powerful post buff. Also the long range ballistics nerf is peanuts in exchange for what you get in return, I barely notice it. Cross mapping requires a little more lead but if they’re not paying attention they still get smashed.

[@speedskaterswassc]

hey potato, what time do you stream? been trying to catch one

[@DariusJones05]

Anytime I see a Vermont I just HE spam it out the game lol. If you let it just sit in the middle of the map and Dev strike everyone, it’s gg

[@kroppsomvandling]

Vermont needs a yamoto legendary module.

[@tristanjones7217]

If you hold your right moue button then you can turn your camera without turning your guns.

[@peterhilligoss5697]

Okay guys here me out, the Tillman's were a series of battleship designs for the US. sorta what the Vermont was based on. But the Tillman IV design might be spicy enough to add as a supership. 975 feet long, 19" thick belt, 25 knots, and....4x6 406 main battery!

[@JD-kl8hz]

They would probably use the Colorado/Minnesota 16" guns and shells, but 24 of them with Colorado dispersion and sigma......Damn!!! and toss in a funny button like Fatsuma just pure evil

[@peterhilligoss5697]

@@JD-kl8hz I think if they added it we might see our first supership with lower than a 1.5 sigma.

[@xsu-is7vq]

My wish for US super battleship, the 80,000 ton, 4 sextuple 16inch gun turrets, Tillman IV

[@Saddy231]

Imagine if the super vermont has 510-508mm barrels in exchange for no funny F key and keeping the reload speed and ship speed

[@robbailie5878]

If you remove the f key gimmick its a true Tier 11 ship.

[@jaywerner8415]

The super version would be one of the INSANE Tillman designs with like 5 triple turrets or something.

[@ShonG]

I'd like to see the rest of the South Dakota-class brought in. T9 off of Iowa for South Dakota and Indiana at T10. Make them tech tree USN secondary BBs. Use Massachusetts as your premium captain trainer.

[@justinserra1372]

Super American Battleship should be an Iowa 1980 refit with RG-84 anti ship Harpoon missiles😂… well they fitted them into iowas so they deserve that armament 115km range I think? 😂

[@g.leefinley1024]

I wish I could make Vermont work like this. For me, Vermont is just a CONSTANT stream of overpens. I average 90%+ overpens with Vermont, against same tier BBS. The blatant use of the overpen mechanic by WGing to influence match outcome makes it too frustrating to play high tier BBS.

[@Dunn1219]

I overpen so much with this ship, no matter the aim. Love it but it definitely tries my patience after those long 40 seconds only to overpen a Tier X battleship broadside :(

[@jaywerner8415]

Must have hit the extremities or thinner sections of armor. But yeah I know what you mean. Try HE I guess?

[@g.leefinley1024]

@@jaywerner8415 Not necessarily. I overpenned every shot, on the belt, on an 88 degree flat broadside Yamato today, at a range of 4km. the overpen mechanic is completely out of control. The more games you play, the higher your overpen %.

[@jaywerner8415]

@@g.leefinley1024 Must be another on the ever lengthening list of BUGS the game has. Cus that is REDICULOUS! That belt is like 300mms THICK.

I liked the original version of the Vermont.

[@sameerkharade7750]

I liked the better shell velocity which was different than Montana and Ohio.

[@cphil_2192]

Hi pq

[@ditholak8713]

Montana or Vermont?

[@rasmus6705]

Montana if you're a newer player, very good ship for learning BBs, decent ship all around. Vermont if you like to blap people out of existence and have the aim to back that up.

[@tominmtnvw]

I love farming, Vermont, especially when someone puts it in the middle of the map. It’s not a Kremlin. It’s not a tanky ship.

[@eragonrank5303]

Being alone in the middle is fine, until the carrier decides that you need to go.

[@davidtavani8817]

Vermont has in this regard very decent AA. The CV will strike you, but it will loose always for one strike a full squadron.

[@NoName-wi8xz]

@@davidtavani8817 Haha, sure cv will mind any ships aa... Literally cvs go through des moines with dfaa, stalingrad and 1 more ships aa, does the strike with no problem and its AT THE END of the game, when hes suposed to have problems with planes... Theres no aa in the game that does anything besides numbers on the screen
