WV 44 definitely seems like the right BB for this op. I'm close to getting her through the dockyard. I like that the devs tried to create an Op that was somewhat faithful to history (setting aside the fact that the Kriegsmarine only deployed Schnellboots on D-day), but dealing with the multitude of small targets is somewhat tedious.
renown '44 is also a good boat if you have her. But this one is much more Cruiser and Destroyer focused. The 3rd D-Day op should be much better for WV '44
pretty much every allied destroyer is good, and destroyer leaders are really good. Light Cruisers are also nice, but the big gun ships are much harder to use. WV 44 at least is a good AA platform.
Playing a battleship in this OP is definitely rough if you don't have good allies. You'd think they'd be good for taking out the shore batteries at least, but I noticed when I tried you get some pretty bad dispersion against them making it hard to get solid hits. That being said, getting at least a win in this OP isn't too hard. Haven't had that be an issue yet. Getting the secondary objectives has been pretty hit or miss though and haven't had a 5-star finish yet.
I swapped to running destroyers after this video and it became much easier to win and get several stars, but always less damage and plane kills than this run. Battleships were actually a solid choice in the first iteration before the shore battery armor was vastly reduced.
@@FV_Ops I think Atlanta is the Mainz of this Op. Combo of AA, depth charges (Depth Charge mod 1 is great here) and best in tier raw DPM. Had a 3-star 2575xp round just now. Better than BB's in terms of taking out DD's quickly, onshore objectives or even the airfield. Only downer is the stupid bobbing schnell boats are a PITA to hit at range.
Great video! I also found with the WV’44 the most consistent success shooting HE with my main battery. Have you ever been able to take out either aerodrome?
those tabs are only visible in the D-day port which you can activate by selecting d-day game type or clicking the D-day banner in the top left of your port screen. If you still cannot see them, please contact the wargaming support team

LET'S GOOOOO WEST VIRGINIA '44
So far after 5 games in the live server (with the group of course), I found that Atlanta, Boise, Helena, and Sims work very well.

@@WhimsicalPacifist yeah ATL is absolutely the strongest boat for this op...too bad I don't have her 🤣

personally no, but I have been part of teams that have.
@@FV_Ops I have a couple times now.
@@grenalis I have a couple times as well now, but I usually ignore it
i dont have the rewards or intellegance data tabs. i have won intellegence date 3 times now.

@@grenalis If you are using the WG client, You may also want to try check and repair under Game settings
