If you don't have the B Hull yet, it's worth the investment and then the engine upgrade which adds two (point one) very helpful knots. Her stealth means you can make some very well educated predictions about where best to position yourself, and even if you're only getting there at 25 knots it's reasonably sufficient. Fortunately NC's 16/45s work against any Tier X ship, she's just slower, smaller and a little fragile at that tier. Aggressively drive the match when you're top-tier, and play much more of a support role when you're bottom. You're going to want to develop two types of play stiles. Good news: What you're experiencing is totally normal for the VII to VIII jump.īad news: North Carolina is an excellent ship that sees the very best out there on very regular occasion. It feels like I went down a tier honestly. As you can see, I've only survived 13 out of 61 battles.

If I try to close the distance to around 10-15km to actually hit something, I end up getting rushed by a DD or torpedoed to death, or burned down and focused. I'll follow my team, stay angled, and yet I still get focused and burned down with no way to retaliate because my shells are so slow that it takes an eternity for them to hit anything. This ship was supposed to be leaps and bounds above the Colorado, but I'm just not seeing it. I think one battle I did a grand total of. It just seems like every battle I go into, my team gets completely stomped on and I end up getting an average of 20k-35k damage, or even worse. In many cases the Colorado is better than the NC, except in speed and AA and a few other things. Everyone says the Colorado is horrible and you should just free xp past it. It's fast, supposedly accurate and very tanky when angled. At the end of my Colorado grind, I was so excited to get the NC.
