Zzzz…what? Aaron has a historical question? I’m on it! OK, so basically she’s the refit version of the ship after being raised from the mud of Pearl Harbor, and (extensively) refit on the West Coast. You could call it the California Treatment, since the idea behind refitting both ships was essentially the same. Interesting enough, though, no two Pearl Harbor refit ships were done exactly alike. And yes, the added torpedo defense system added additional “armor “, even though the belt stayed the same. She went on to be the main ship that plastered Yamashiro (Fuso’s sister) at Surigao Strait. Her more modern fire control radar allowed her to fire sooner and more accurately, than the other battleships that were with her…I’ve seen some sources say that Pennsylvania, which was hardly damaged at Pearl, only got off a salvo or two, for lack of a firing solution…good for shore bombardment, but not hitting a moving ship at night.
WV44 got the "California style" modernization after Pearl Harbor just like Cali herself, so she's extremely similar but with bigger (and less of them) guns and longer secondaries. She had to be raised from the Pearl Harbor floor first!
Yeah, I’ll be honest though it’s bold putting West Virginia 44 at tier 6. California is an insanely over powered tier 5 but West Virginias guns are trolly. So upgrading all the premium West Virginias to the 44 would be great if they’d leave it at tier 5. I know war gaming won’t do that. Being honest though, I paid a good bit of money for the West Virginia and she ended up being a terrible choice. It’s not the worst ship in the game. Yet at tier 5, I do better in my Graf Spee and New Mexico. Heck, I do better in my tier 4 Oklahoma even when I’m up tiered. So I just feel like WG just needs to replace West Virginia entirely with the 44 and keep it at tier 5.
Everyone go to the tech tree ships tab and look at the end of the lines. Wonder if they are going to make the legendaries end of the line ships or if it’s just to show what trees they are related to.
@@josiahwilson9034 it’s most definitely just showing which lines they’re related to and what ships are needed for the Bureau projects. WG gonna make you pay for it or grind for it. They never make it that easy unfortunately
Very interesting day today....used the stockpiled global xp to get the Chkolav instead of Pommern B spent 20 and got Alaska B in the 2nd of the 5 boxes followed by P. Bagraton B in the 5th....so 3 of the 4 ships collected I think I'm done as far as Balck Friday goes lol
Picardie looks interesting. Better potential as a secondary French bb since you have 130s instead of 100s like flandre and the la foudre. West Virginia on the other hand doesn’t look very good at least not as a secondary ship. Pushing into enemies at 21 knots will be endless suffering
Man I hope they give picardie a decent historical camo since all I saw was a naked ship (not that picardie is historical but an exclusive camo better be available lol)
Picardi is a fun brawler! Azure lane Dunkirk with secondaries is fun as hell! A little clunky but man I want this thing! And 3 of the turrets swing 360 I think. Great ship tho Also, the he on this ship is pretty good too
That would be awesome just to get all the Colorado’s into the game, but Maryland didn’t get much in the way of refits so it wouldn’t be all modernized like this. I want them to just add the Rodney and prince of Wales and other sister ships of ships in the game just to collect more historical ships
@teenboy661 Use gxp boosters on ships you know you will have your best games in and play consistently. Join a fleet to get gxp bonuses. You'll have the 750,000 in no time
Wv44 looks good unfortunately it feels like tier 6 gets a hard time being up tiered against tier 7 alot and the fact tier 7 get legendry modules it makes it even worse for tier 6.
This "perk" is only worth it if you think there's a chance you may not like it and not want to purchase it. But to purchase it outright, it's 10k doubloons. So to spend 1000 on the rental, then use the coupon to get 1000 off, you're still spending 10k. Like I said, it's worth it if you're truly trying to test it out to see if you'd even want to purchase it. But if you know you're already going to, it's kind of pointless.
Yeah no thanks if theyre going to refund doubloons they could at least refund them into the main doubloon currency rather then the more limited version that can only be used on certain ships.
Pass I'm not gonna waste my precious hard earned money renting a ship when I would rather wait to see other reviews. I got enough of real life situations to keep myself busy for a while.

Picardi legit looks like the most exciting part of this update!!! Lyon was one of my fave T6 grinds….Le Boom.

They better not put WV '44 in a crate like they did Scharnhorst '43. I swear, man.
Picarde sets a very high standard of fun, go full ham with a secondary build it’s amazing ❤

Lol when rental ships are the most exciting part of the update, both of em look really interesting too.
We've yet to see the pirate content tho. Im holding my vote lol

Wish Captain Picard was a French bb commander 😆
Imagine the full main gun reload build for this, my guess is probably sub 10 sec reload with the boost active
Man I hope they give picardie a decent historical camo since all I saw was a naked ship (not that picardie is historical but an exclusive camo better be available lol)
WV 44 is alright, but it's so damn squishy. Anything with 15 inch guns or bigger, which is almost everything tier 6 and up just rips it apart.
whomever stole aaron's maid outfit.... WE WILL FIND YOU
I never reported it stolen...HOW DID YOU KNOW RANDY
@@whereruaaronRandy stole it

It would have been nice if it was named Maryland

Can't wait to play both
Picardeli full secondary 😄
This ship surprised me with the layout, then the secondary range, then secondary booster 2. Holy cow
Bro I been waiting on West Virginia 44!!! Modernized after Pearl!
1000 dubs is wild, 5-10 mill silver would better but I guess that ain’t making money for them so I’m wrong
Well they said it's mainly for population control and to gauge interest for the ship.
Sigh Alabama I been trying to get her since she came out and I'm going to miss it 😢
How much GXP you got?
@soupertrooper3864 I have to convert it first but last I checked before my Xbox die on it I was at 15 million but its so expensive
@teenboy661 No don't convert elite xp, just save up your free gxp
@teenboy661 Use gxp boosters on ships you know you will have your best games in and play consistently. Join a fleet to get gxp bonuses. You'll have the 750,000 in no time
I can't imagine paying for a rental in a video game
Then don’t do it? Imagine being broke 💀
Ngl i thought Picardie would be the same as PC, wich is one of the worst tier 8 ship, but the legends team seems to have made this one reaaallly fun
It looks fun NGL
I hope they never make a Black version of that French battleship cause the Pi-Cardi B memes will be epic
Is there a glitch in the brawl side missions? Tier 6 only while we're in tier v for brawl?
Wondering same thing.
Yeah, but it IS fun.....
Wv44 looks good unfortunately it feels like tier 6 gets a hard time being up tiered against tier 7 alot and the fact tier 7 get legendry modules it makes it even worse for tier 6.

It will be more than 10K to purchase
I been waiting for WV44 I want it really bad
Is the Alabama worth it?
Not too shabby
Will rent one, dont need to rent the other really....
You can't bounce Yamato cause u won't be in game with Yamato . Tier 7
Wait til you find out about fail divisions (And the Musashi at T8)
New to the Game what is the point in renting ships?
@@josesuicune27 you help WG test them out and get to try something new for a bit
@@FrateloderBut they cost dublons rigth? Arent we losing money over this?
@@josesuicune27 they give you a coupon for the same amount, but if you're not gonna buy a ship anytime soon, then yeah - you're kinda losing money!
@@josesuicune27 Uhhhh.... it's weeegeee were talking about here.
Doing WG's job (testing) and pay dubs for it. Yay
Did you beat up whoever was stealing your shit?
Working on it lol
Yeah no thanks if theyre going to refund doubloons they could at least refund them into the main doubloon currency rather then the more limited version that can only be used on certain ships.

For dubs? No thx
You sound dehydrated Aaron, drink water.
