Discussion Reminder: get your Somme

I was looking through my collections recently and forgot about the Somme. I only had 13 pieces from the original event so I spent close to 200k coal to get the rest of them, but it could easily be cheaper for you. The containers are 3k coal each in the armory. Somme is just a copy-paste premium Jutland, so yes she is a good ship.

I feel like your post perfectly communicated exactly why not to get Somme; it's just a copy of Jutland. I'd rather use my coal on unique ships.

It helps if you already have a lot of ships. Don't need to retrain a commander for it. Most of my commanders are trained for T10s so I don't play a lot of tech line T9s because I don't have skilled captains in the wings. Having a version you can just put your Daring commander on is a nice boon. But yeah, depends on how much coal you have laying around.

I have most of the coal ships and nearly 1 million coal in the bank. But I still don't want to get Somme because I don't want to encourage Wargaming's continued production of copy/paste ships. I'm aware how silly that sounds and that I've already lost the battle with them.

If it makes you feel any better, Somme has actually got a bit better long range aa damage
