Like others have said create account and play on the test servers, you start with a t8 ship in most lines so easy to get and play with them all to see what suit youĪs you are asking for hte Best Premium I'd go for the Tirptiz with a high ranked Captain and the right upgrades for Secondaries, you'll eat most DD and Cruisers alive with the range, you'll fire you secondaries before they get to fire torps.Action, vehicular combat, combat flight simulator It's really down to what suits your style of play. Monarch is similar to the NC but I feel it don't hit as hard.Īmagi/Kii kinda the same as the Bismarck/Tirptiz as in they are pretty much the same ship the main difference KII has torps. (Ie cruisers and Battleships stupid enough to give you a broadside) The downside of the NC and Alabama is that they are easy to find and hit their citadels. North Carolina is great for hnting carriers with the best AA setup for the tier, Citadel someone with the NC and they will certainly know about it. Bow tank the other BB's and hunt them down, then pop out the torps as a reminder you have them as you sail passed the broadside. The Tirptitz has lest secondary and AA firepower but does have torps.

Personally I'd go for the Bismarck and/or Tirptiz.
