And if you don't have steam then I advise to get it, even if you don't want to buy any games off it, it's a good platform to work and use with gaming. Have fun with Kongou, she's a mighty good ship! Any EU players want to add me, IGN is Bonta3000. best to make a post here so I know who you are.

Depending on the BB, it may not even just be a viable strategy but sometimes even unquestionably the best strategy. For example, the Kawachi has only just over 9km of range fully upgraded, making it useless in open sea battles, but it can tank a lot of torps and completely shreds things with its secondary battery. Whenever I play Kawachi I head to the places that provide most island cover because that's just how the Kawachi works despite being a BB. |

I've had the most success with Kawachi using her as sacrificial ship. Meaning steaming into some place where battles tend to get into closer ranges, then fix the rudder, draw circles into the sea and fire off. With two of her turrets to each side you are never in a position where you can't fire. Of course with this strategy you will get sunk sooner or later.

After playing a good games with Myogi yesterday, I realize that Myogi is actually pretty good as a carrier hunter. Maybe battlecruisers are ideal for this purpose. I never felt so amazing and rewarding for striking a citadels on CVs. xD

For that you need to circle around half the map first and hope that the enemy doesn't protect the CVs though. And then your firepower may be missing at the crucial spots. DDs may be better suited for that. And I think getting citadel hits on CVs is pretty easy, I remember getting heaps and loads of them when using HE of a cruiser. They burn like matchsticks.

BB's are supposed to go up in the top right section and not in the tight passage ways. Every time I see one BB going there I see them die from torps.

This is for anyone on the NA server/account. I missed the ball yesterday when it was like $3.24 for the bundle. But even at $9.77 I think it was a fair deal. |

I must say the Cleveland is everything Jingles said and more. Got's plenty of firepower, good speed and can take a relative beating. But that AA is glorious especially with the AA enhancement. Knocking squadrons out of the air like nobody's business. Its also nice to have a true WWII era ship vs the pre and dreadnought era ships you begin with.
Also be sure to put in code ALBANY (I'm sure everyone here has though) for your free Tier II ALBANY cruiser. I really had no interest in the ship, but the extra port slot and 375k the ship was worth got me my Cleveland. |

I found the Cleveland pretty crappy to be honest, Guns where awful really low velocity means it's easy to dodge a Cleveland shooting at you.
The AA is also meh it's only really useful with the defensive fire skill and the tier 3 captain skill that increases AA range by 20%, other than that it doesn't tend to do much unless the CV player attention is else where and leaves a squadron hovering near you or passing over you. |

I can't for my life get my head around at how to play with Kawachi. It's like everything outrange me, and they all can run faster than me. The only thing I could do is hoping they are busy dealing with my teammate and I can sneak around closer to them.

Your really best off sticking with your team as much as possible and sneaking as many hits as you can, no need to go for unnecessary kills. Try for simply getting more hits than sinking others. But the Kawachi is seriously lacking in pretty much everything, the only benefit is it has guns all around but you will more than likely be out ranged by everything else you go against.
