So, new IJNs were a bit of a surprise to me. While playing the Farragut... little bastards fired back.
However, they're truly terrifying in the hands of good players and harassers.
But..... nothing beats a Soviet's guns and a helping hand of Stalin!
Ahem.
So, roughly 5k away from the Schors, and since I've had such a great run, I'm keeping the Budyonny in my ship list. The Cleveland is a frontline brawler that I've gone head on against N.Carolina and survived a firefight with an angry Iowa. The Budyonny? It's a tricky ship to play, but after some of the good XP pulls and fire damage, I adore this vermin.
