I totally enjoyed playing this thing. She's not overpowered in my book and brings some interesting tactical opportunities, shaking up the upper tier meta a bit.
@@FunandGameswithTerry hey man I find it really aggravating when your in a tier 8 cruiser that has low dpm and you just get completely shreked by that thing
I set up the ship exactly as you suggested....awesome 😎 feels unreal to chase planes with a dd, so far 35 battle with an impressive 94% wr. I stay close and protect vulnerable ships at the beginning then become more aggressive in the second half of the game. Real NO FLY ZONE established. We tried, with a Worcester and Smolensk a mobile no fly zone to enemy cap, melting everything on the way and it worked! So far best score is 35 planes shot down. Again thank you for the review! 👍👏😎
Will be fun to see the friesland , zevenprovncien cruiser and one of the other heavy cruisers suporting each other. Tons of smoke stealth , and high rates of fires and and tons of AA.
Darn, terry. Right now the shop has Friesland, Kutuzov, and Roma. All great ship but I only have enough money for one. Any tip? I’m conflicted but mostly leaning toward either Roma or Friesland
All good ships. Kutuzov is rather similar to Chapayev, so if you're looking for something unique, I'd pick either of the other two. Friesland, as you've seen, isn't a massive damage dealer, but fills a very interesting role, and doesn't care much if she's in a tier 10 game. Roma is an all-round excellent (some would say OP) tier 8 BB.
She’s looks extremely fun! I Can’t wait for the Swedish destroyer line to release in April! And hopefully they will add more Dutch DD’s like the Gerard Callenburg, an Admiralen class dd, and perhaps the dd flotilla leader Tromp?!
Ooooh, soo much. I was actually disappointed if I got a battle without CVs. Actively hunting planes in this thing is glorious. CVs will learn to avoid them like USN CLs, which will give them some interesting tactical opportunities - imagine pairing up a Friesland with a British or American destroyer in something like Epicentre. You're mostly invulnerable to planes. You have plenty smokes, and a second DD can compensate for the lack of dpm.
@@FunandGameswithTerry Looking forward to that scenario 💪 worth having in port, especially for dd main players, for these days when the server is full of cvs 🤯😣😂
I love this thing. Great ship. Play it right and it will treat you right just like any other ship. This is my new mini Atlanta. I love Atlanta but this thing can start plenty of fires. I get more fires than my Atlanta. Also I see double fires more than Atlanta. I don't seem to have much issues with other dds. Kite diagonally and they can't torp while you daka daka them down
Not sure but i think at 16:20 you had been encountered more than 2k damage of single torps there.. is it new features same like citadel damage from shells?
Yes, radar-based gun directors, automatic tracking, proximity fuses, and I'd assume if something large-calibre like a 150mm shell blows up in the path of an aircraft, it's probably enough for the debris to cause some damage (i.e. you wouldn't have to hit a jet directly, just put enough crap in close proximity). Similar principle with modern AA missiles.
Almost, but yes, you'll actively go plane-hunting in this thing, which puts her ahead of Worcester in my opinion, since she can take much more aggressive positions due to stealth & smokes.
Got very lucky this time with the crates. Bought 21€gold pack and ond #3 1200gold crate i got her. Very fun ship. Just tried your aa build first game against midway 26 planes down and my first clear sky with a dd :D
This might be late Terry, what is wrong with your Seattle consumable slot mate? I saw 1 of it cannot be used ("x" or red mark), thanks for the reply mate.
If they release the European destroyers I’m not surprised if the tier 10 has automatic guns. I’m not sure what wargaming was smoking but this is an insane ship. They made a Smolensk in destroyer form but gave it the AA and sonar from a Worcester. All in favor of Nerfing: ✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋
I don't see her damage potential anywhere near a Smolensk. I can usually pull somewhere from 40-70k damage, which isn't much for a tier 9 DD. I've actually duelled a Smolensk in this thing (it didn't end well). Friesland isn't hard to kill - just follow the tracers. Anything that has radar or sonar negates her smokes. No torps means you can't hold a position against a determined enemy, and she's not fast enough to outrun things. I had a chase with a Neptune, pulled all kinds of tricks, and could have killed him three times over in a Hsienyang with torps, but lost the fight in this one. For me, she's a fun ship, with a nasty surprise for CVs, and a bit of an upset potential if we get a similar tech tree line.
Babayaga smolensk combo with frisy... lol... Not easy one to... I ve seen a couple of them on eu server... one teaming on t10... is pure dogfight lol.. good review Terry!!...
I played 5 matchs vs Frieslands in my Gearing today, thay are very hard to hit and AP will not do full pens at 6km, use HE against them. It is a very worthy adversary play smart against them. ~TheWiseFool
Yes, she's one of the sturdier DDs out there, 4.5% dmg reduction gives you a bit of a hint in that direction. Also, 20% fire resistance is hilarious on a destroyer, she basically just shrugs off fires. Honestly, in any other DD, the easiest is probably going to be to rush her and torp at point blank, since she can't defend herself. Unless you're in a German DD, I've lost gunfights against those (Darings are hard as well)
This is a fun ship to play. But I don't have mine set up for AA. I kinda disagree with you about this ship not doing a whole lot of damage, I just did 105k today and usually average above 60k damage a battle. The more dmg is probably because mines not an AA build, but more of a dmg build and the stock AA still kicks ass. Nice review!
I though this is just another gunboat... then in one recent game I lost all my torpedo bombers, which is a first for me and I thought the enemy CV must be so good because I took care of my planes. After the game ended, I saw a DD named "🍟land" shot down 24 of my planes.... that's how I came to know this ship the hard way 😂
As Dutchie I highly recommend this ship haha... this is something different, a bit awkward just like. I hate T9, to much T10 battles and overpowered premiums in T8. So this is something fun to play.
It's everyone's decision. If you buy her, you know what you get. If you go for crates, you may spend less, but you also may spend more. It all depends on if you want to take risks, and are willing to accept losing the money without getting the ship.
Just rush her, if you get a chance. She has no torps. But yeah, give it a bit, when the excitement has worn off and more people have gotten the idea of what this ship can do, and how to counter it, things will go back to normal.
@@FunandGameswithTerry it’s really annoying since it has sonar, I always get detected and hit by other cruisers near by. When I played BB tonight, it does harasses me hard with HE. It can be very a powerful assisting ship when playing in a team.
friesland really makes me want to see the european DD line added into the game if i remember correctly, the oland (T8) is the point in the line where their AA becomes strong we are probably going to have to wait a fair bit of time though, the british heavy cruisers are coming first
Yeah, I'm curious to see that as well. The USN DDs have mildly decent AA, but this thing is on another level. The tech tree versions might be somewhat weaker, maybe fewer consumables and some points less, but would still be interesting tactically.
I bought this ship and as I suspected, you must team with a CV if you want to face human CV players. The algorithm goes to great lengths not to put you in CV games with this ship when you play it solo. Even at prime time with plenty of players online, you’ll get bot CVS, if you get CVS at all. Out of 10 games played random solo, 2 games will be CV games.
Hmm, da hätte ich vielleicht doch mal einen Ostfriesenwitz einbauen können. Ich bin als Kind fast jedes Jahr an die See gefahren, meistens Sylt oder Borkum, und Otto Waalkes lief immer im Fernsehen :)
Yes. Things like Edinburghs, hell, Clevelands can make your life very, very short if you're not careful. There was a reason I was miffed at my team for letting the Edinburgh live so long. If anyone actually rushes a Friesland, she's very dead.
Ok these things are crazy! I've fought 5-6 so far & it's like hail on a tin roof for 7min😂 I've seen 2 lay down 65k in a match, I sense a nerf incoming 😘
65k isn't much though for a T9 DD. I can do 100k in a Hsienyang, and top-tier DDs can do ridiculous amounts of damage with the right matchmaking. She feels much more like a tiny Seattle with a smokescreen to me. Yes, you can set some fires, but she's super-dependent on actually lasting through the battle, and has very low dpm. Anyone who can aim, even battleships, can take her out in smokes. DDs can rush her. She's fun, but I don't feel like she's OP.
Yeah, I was still getting used to the shell velocity. When it comes to DDs, I often target the stern, to cause engine or steering damage - that's really annoying in a ship that relies on manoeuvres :)
I targeted a Friesland chasing me I was in a Shoukaku and my planes got shredded and I was like holy crap this Aa is Op.After just targeted the Vladivostok in B and just let the Friesland chase me.
Yeah, CV players will figure this out quickly. It's like in my Des Moines, a CV will attack me - once. When no planes come back, they usually look for targets elsewhere.
@@FunandGameswithTerry yeah they introduce stronger premiums now, its great imo to have such unique thing even its too expensive in my book played with one as t8 cv and was great fun
Friesland is the most op ship ever put into a video game. Ship should not able to do hardly any damage to a bb or a cruiser with bofors . But it lights them up. Non stop. It’s a load BS
Small caliber AA damage with the Air defense alert 3 is exactly 810
Or, in other words, almost as much as all the AA of an Iowa-class battleship combined.
Great videos terry, man this really looks like a fun ship

@@FunandGameswithTerry hey man I find it really aggravating when your in a tier 8 cruiser that has low dpm and you just get completely shreked by that thing

Yay! Looks fun.
Der Fliegende Hollander ist da :D
Even without torps, she seems really fun
Still I wonder how “classic” AA guns like the bofors could hit a jet
They had Radar direction. Anything silly enough to get within range would be in trouble no matter how fast they were moving, at the time at least.
Yes, radar-based gun directors, automatic tracking, proximity fuses, and I'd assume if something large-calibre like a 150mm shell blows up in the path of an aircraft, it's probably enough for the debris to cause some damage (i.e. you wouldn't have to hit a jet directly, just put enough crap in close proximity).

Hi Terry, When will this ship be available again? Please i need to know.
It's a premium, so she might be in a crate, bundle or in the shipyard at some point, but I have no info on when that may be.
Got lucky and got it in a crate! This thing is fun as hell as a gunboat, brrrrt!
💯% enjoyed
"we don't have any submarine".... yet (I think)
Wow... This thing has a AA level of the worcester wow just wow finally a new tier 9 that doesn't care about tiers :D

Unless you team with a CV, the algorithm will put this ship in non CV games consistently.

Light cruisers are bad news for any DD, especially Friesland :)
So next a pan European DD tech tree?
I don't know when, but there is one on PC, so I'm sure we'll get it at some point.
Finally I am the first commenter on Terry's vids! Great vid too!
Drive that puppy between your fleet & the enemy carrier & wave goodbye to his planes. :-)
It seems that wargaming has switched the shipclass between the mino and the friesland xD
As Dutchie I highly recommend this ship haha... this is something different, a bit awkward just like. I hate T9, to much T10 battles and overpowered premiums in T8. So this is something fun to play.
And it’s not entirely true that this is the first Dutch ship in the game. The T61 is build in the Netherlands and based upon a Dutch design. 💪🏻
Would you recommend buying the ship or trying my luck with the crates?
My advice buy it 😬
