How To Play The USS New York In World Of Warships (Redux)

Ahh yes, the former T5 Brawling Champion! Can she still strut her stuff? Well.... yes and no. This ship is punished heavily by the T5 Match Maker which puts her, almost too consistently, against T7 ships and she gets STOMPED by T7 ships but when she is put in a match against T4's, T5's, and T6's she can hold her own still. She is no longer fun to play though and the MM is 100% the reason why I don't enjoy her. She IS maneuverable, she does have decent AA, her guns do hit hard, but her problem is that at T7 everything outclasses her by such large margins that it is nearly suicidal to play her. WG really needs to fix T5 match making!! Anyway, it's a real shame because the New Yorks were both great ships with good history to them. Heck, you can STILL see one today! What's not to love about that?
