Practice predicting the 'arc' of the shells.

If she finds herself at the front of the pack staring down a couple of ships, she's probably going to get hammered. Fast, messy, quick hit and run close quarters combat.

Success in game depends on finding the sweet spot between the two. She plays very-similarly to Atlanta she can be used as a slightly under-gunned light cruiser, or she can be played as 'heavy' destroyer. The data presented in the AA Defense sidebar section may be incorrect.įor a graphic summary of ships Tiers VIII thru XI see LittleWhiteMouse's 'Actual AA DPS'.įlint is a Tier VII American cruiser that is a variant of the premium Tier VII American cruiser Atlanta, and was previously only available by reaching Rank One in three separate seasons of Ranked Battles, but now is available for 168,000 coal.
