If you like Multipurpose Consumables, this is for you. Alaska is best used against Destroyer or annoy Battleships or even try to outright cripple some mindless Light Cruiser/Heavy Cruiser. They can also be able to Lockdown some chokepoint or capture points (due to good stealth for a Battlecruiser) if those area are empty. Alaska is also good at destroying flies even without DFAA ( of course if you pick Defensive Fire Anti Aircraft skill they're gone like what's happening ) . 305mm Cannon is more intimidating to some CL/CA which they never challenged Alaska before. Its best to play it as a Skirmisher , Generalist Strategy and or Brawling ( only Destroyer or Cruisers. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19 [EE09] PanJin21 Member 87 posts 1,354 battles Report post #7 Posted December 2, 2019 I think she is worth it. If you have the cash, you could buy the B version of it at a nice discount. I opened 3 premium crates and got Graf Zeppelin and Sims. Was hoping for the other 2 ships instead of these two. I have not had any success in any non-premium crates.

Worth it because any other method requires real money. 1. Paying Doubloon to convert Elite ship XP to FXP. 2. Alaska is/was in the prem shop, and then there's the Black version.

Alaska is a very good ship. However, you do need to have mastery in playing open-water cruisers and BBs to utilize Alaska's strengths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
