![]() I use to consider the Iowa my giant cruiser for its speed, but this actually feels more like a cruiser and not just for its speed. I love cruisers, and I play this like a giant cruiser. Not spectacular #'s, but for my first three matches I can't complain! I enjoy all my top tier BBs, but this is the most fun for me. For me game #1, ~80k damage, #2 ~155k, #3 ~145k, and I am a very average player. This BB has it all, if you are a brawler have at it, if you want to snipe from long distance with great accuracy, you've got that also. 12k+ secondaries with the distance flag, a wall of metal for AA, excellent armor and a speed boost to get you out of trouble or into it as fast as you want. Big, accurate, long range, fast loading main guns, with devastating AP and great HE to burn things down if that is your desire. Just got this ship and it is NUTS and I mean that in a great way. And with Manual AA, you’ll be swatting planes down wholesale. Her deadly secondaries will usually make short work of any DD’s before they can get within torpedo range, then you can settle down, setting your secondaries on one ship while you punish another with those 17-inch rifles. She is definitely at her best when you ‘go amongst them’. Republique’s playstyle isn’t for everyone. With BFT, AFT, and Manual FC for AA, it is rare for a bomber or torpedo plane to get close enough to unload their ordnance. With the Legendary Upgrade, the main battery reload drops to an amazing 19.7 seconds. ![]() With Secondary Battery Mod 2, AFT, Manual FC for Secondaries, and the Mike Yankee SoxSix flag, those secondaries will reach out to 12.1 km, and have a -85% dispersion, so not many shells are going to miss. It’s like having the equivalent of a 6-inch gunned cruiser and a destroyer & a half shooting at you. ![]() I was like a lot of people when they first see her: “Only 8 guns in one fore & aft turret? I don’t know.” I have 80 ships in my port, but Republique is far and away my favourite. I’m not sure why some people get hung up on the idea of a paper design vs one that was actually built. ![]()
