You also have the option in Settings to disable your ability to be matched into Assault and/or Encounter Battles. Better to play the traditional cruisers until you feel comfortable, then apply what you've learned to supercruisers.The Random Battles battle type selection comprises three different game modes with the the following chances of getting into one of the three types Standard Battles (60%), Assault (20%) and Encounter Battles (20%). The supercruisers dominate the stats, but if you come into them with a battleship mentality you're missing a lot. That's likely true, but it's still quite good.Īs mentioned, though, you're better off playing cruisers. I think it's generally overlooked as not being as good as Alaska or Siegfried. It's a very versatile and forgiving ship that lets you play aggressively in the right situations. Siegfried is generally considered far superior, but Agir is more accessible and really quite good. Since Alaska's really hard to acquire, you might consider looking at Agir or even Siegfried. The supercruisers are a lot more forgiving. I guess next best is Petro, but I feel a lot of Petro's reputation comes from a competitive meta that doesn't really apply to randoms. The unique upgrade and concealment gives you just enough juking potential that in a bad situation you can open water with a DM, depending on what's chasing you.Ĭruisers can be very situational, but Des Moines really isn't.

YOu have to know when you can use your DPM to trade favorably and when you need to get out. You have to get in close enough to use the radar and delete DDs, but always have an exit plan because DM will not survive a push. The carry potential is amazing, but you really have to push through early deletion frustration and learn what you can and can't do with it.

Des Moines with Legendary module, unique upgrade, whatever they call it now. It's got to be Des Moines, if you've got to pick just one.
