The Tier VIII Dalian doesn’t rush — it slides, baits, and survives. In this match, Thinkum Dinkum breaks from brawler mode and plays the long game: threading torpedoes through chaos, navigating nonstop smoke clouds, and dishing out sarcastic commentary with each dodge.
This wasn’t a high-damage stomp — it was a masterclass in tactical survival, mind games, and torpedo threading through wild crossfire while the team debates submarines, whaling, and how much beer equals a Bureau unlock.
