What you said about the current meta is 100% true. Being too passive wins more often than being too aggressive so people spam the same strategy over and over cus adapting to the situation is hard I play on the RU server mostly (not that it's much better tbh) and whenever I play on EU the matches feel really afk vegan even as low as t7
Just found your channel after getting this in a santa crate, gotta say I love how. No Bullshit you are about your reviews, and you go into alot of detail about what makes them good/bad. another sub for the boi
I've found pushing in and brawling with the Johan much easier than other brawlers due to the conceal, plus having better torps than the Oster is a big plus compared to only having Halland torps or elbing torps like on the Schlieffen. I tend to struggle a lot more with ships like the Schlieffen since its a lot harder to get into a safe location without being spotted when you dont expect it and ripped to shreds, but with 10.5 conceal you can control most of your engagements and get into some crazy positions with the help of stealth torpedos (as you said, 2km is a bigger difference than it sounds). Not to mention its nice to play a brawler with actually good AA, you take out planes faster than a non-DFAA Halland without the reputation of one, so ive ended games with enemy FDRs effectively deplaned (as in 2-3 planes left per squad, I had over 70 plane kills).
45:20 had to deal with a Maine while grinding my Buffalo last week. I was sitting there throwing everything I can at it, and I was thinking "What could I possibly even do to kill this thing". I only even lived as long as I lived because the Maine had bigger fish to fry. Sure enough once he did look at me I was done for.
To be fair, I think building into secondaries is kind of bait unless the ship has improved secondary dispersion. Even then, sometimes its just better with a main gun build.
Boss, can you do a video on Smaland. I got her in a xmas crate. I have +70% wr in daring and gdansk, I'm struggling with balancing farming and aggression in her with no smoke to disengage. Would love to also see your take on optimal builds.
Watch his Halland video. Smaland is basically Halland except Smaland gets ~ 30% extra gun DPM, a radar, a Ragnar speed boost, and bad directly forward turret angles in exchange for losing out on DFAA and some torp power/range. Play Smaland the way he plays gunboat Halland and remember you have a radar and good speed juking when using speed boost and that's your boat.

@Hagostaeldmann press "H" in game, brings up your smoke fire and all other stats. Also.... SPEAK UP, or get closer to your mic. Your videos are very low volume....especially for us that travel for work and are watching on laptops, lol. Dont have that issue on other channels.
@@GroceryGetterST h does not work in replays. Also I check each video with my volume on 1/6 (50% youtube 35% headphones). It is a very normal volume on these settings.
An upload two days in a row??? We are truly blessed

Would you be able to look over the ships in the battle Pass?

I think I remember asking him and he said he doesnt actually have the ship at this time?

I love this bote. I think the KJ was added to the coal shop right?
Gato def got his free tier 10, must have forgot to chsck his torp range or smth
Why don't you review super ships? I am just curious.
Secondary Build is much better. Dont build this Shit.
