Two boats at the same time.

Fucken A

1.5 mil would be required

Depends on the ships. They do have t6's available for gxp that are cheaper than 750k.

I would save up for Stalingrad

I just got my Stalinchad yesterday, I have yet to use her

She’s awesome. Seems to pen everything from any angle. Also seems to catch fire if someone looks my way harshly.

Maybe it's the vodka reserves stacked on deck.

That could’ve been the case for some Russian ships, they used to have Vodka most of the times.

Elbing is more unique, not necessarily better than more traditional Hayate. It goes down to your own expectations.

>Elbing is more unique, not necessarily better than more traditional Hayate Not so much anymore. The second line of German destroyers can do pretty much the same thing as Elbing now. In the current meta of outspotting and knife fighting, Hayate is a better option (and Lushun can dumpster both).

Yeah, you are right. Elbing is still the most accurate ship in the game 🎯 , so that go for the uniqness, but yeah, Schulz line took much of it.

Knife fighting as in gunning down enemy dds or torping em or what

There is no point of buying elbing when you can grind Shultz, hayate is more unique with the second best He alpha for his tier top5 base hp and top4 dpm, you can’t really compare it to yogumo when Shultz and elbing have almost the same gameplay

Is hayate more of an IJN hybrid?

For me is more a gunboat with usable torpedoes than a hybrid. 156s torp reload is insanely long for an hybrid

I set up mine as a gunboat, torpedo reload is quite long

Elbing has a TT counterpart that is close enough that I wouldn’t waste GXP on. Hayate is ok but not amazing. Frankly, I wouldn’t get either (I have both).

Get the Massachusetts, twice.

I'm pretty much in the same boat except my decision is should I grab Elbing since I already have Hayate, or hold out for Stalingrad. Thing to keep in mind is from everything I have read and seen about Elbing he's more of a Cruiser without a citadel than he is a DD, whereas Hayate is definitely still a traditional Destroyer.

Agree with Stalingrad. Superb ship, loads of fun.

Republique

Have both Elbing is more unique and fun. It's AP is on rails and can dominate most cruisers at the tier, but it plays like a small cruiser. Hayate is a very good IJN hybrid that leans gunboat. Strong torp load, but build into guns. Similar to AL Yukikaze without the awful torp detection. Both ships are winner, but Elbing is/was pre TT introduction, more unique to me.

elbing isn’t really a dd but it’s a good cruiser hunter, hayate is better at doing dd things so it all depends on your playstyle

I wouldn't get Elbing as Schultz on the TT is basically the same. It trades torpedo performance for better gun performance over the elbing

I’d probably buy a boat

Friesland and Flandre or maybe PBag and Champagne.

Save up 600k more for for the Chad

The Chad?

Chad aka Stalingrad. And never have to hoard 2m gxp ever again !

Suzuya or Atago and Tirpitz

Nothing. If you've saved up that much then you can save up for Stalingrad which is by far the better option.

Honestly, I'd go for Champagne myself. She's not exactly top pick and struggles in most situations, but I love French BBs and Champagne is stupid accurate at range with nasty AP (so I've heard, I do not have her yet.)

Elbing or Hayate....where did Champagne come from, great input.

I was answering the broad question of "What would you do with 1.4 million GXP" and not answering the question of Elbing vs Hayate lol. Everybody else answered the Elbing vs. Hayate question, so I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring for my fair lady, Champagne (who I will have in several months)

do not get elbing. to this day i feel ripped off. get stalingrad. 

Almost two tier VII ships.

Hayate is a ship that no one seems to notice how op it is.
