How to be effective in the current tier 10 meta?

I feel your pain. I have Des Moines, Yamato, Khabarovsk, Kurfurst, Moskva, Zao and about 4 lines at T9.

I have generally mothballed by tier 10's except for the odd match in the Kurfurst. The current meta, partially the fault of the map design, is a campy snipe fest. Last night I got a wild hair and took the Moskva out. I capped a point, backing up our Gearing and then killed their Khabarovsk. After that I moved to a position to support our Edinburgh that was trying to get himself into a firing position on a pair of Bismarcks. I ended up getting focused and killed not long after. Damage wise, I had a modest game. When I looked at the map after I died, we had a Yamato, Montana, Kurfurst and Alabama all in a 4km area in the same pot that we spawned, all taking 20km shots at an enemy BB. All but the Alabama had over 90% health and the Bama was at half. They sat in a fail blob until they lost.

I get much more fulfilling games at tiers 5 - 8 and I just don't see a need to roll out a ship that costs me credits if I do my job just because the majority of my team didn't.

Seriously considering buying the Fiji again and just playing that for the foreseeable future. Maybe Mogami too.
