meanwhile modern WG cruiser design : smoke ! (chikuma) short burst smoke ! (svea) crawling smoke ! (cerberus) island camp ! (ultrecht) exhaust smoke ! (Ferrante Gonzaga) "overmatch isn't an issue if you don't get shot at" - WG, probably
I really love the vids they have been making me a better player. I have been playing on and off since BETA. You force me to think and revaluate how I perceive the game. WOWS has such a high skill ceiling it's what keeps me coming back.
Imo WG should reduce the max amount of fires on Cruisers to 3. Same for DDs. And ffs, mid tier cruisers need heals, why dont they get them!? Its just beyond me.
@@connycontainer9459 Playing correctly but getting overmatched into oblivion anyways without being able to heal some of that back only teaches you the imbalance of the game.
Thanks for the review and commentary. I also received one of these cruisers in Xmas crate and did not know what to make of it. I'm still trying make up my mind about investing in the upgrade's but I guess i will play a few more matches to see how it goes.
Was getting all excited about this and watched it all the way through.......then at 54:00 found out that you cannot get this without gambling on crates!
For someone Santander is one shot, and for others it is pure unsinkable zombie ship and that goes for many ships. Example: for me Napoli is not a cockroach that survives encounter with me to come later in flames of vengeance.
@smaug9617 the first time I encountered a Napoli, I dunked on it for 2 cits on a lob shot half blind over an island and then 1 more cit to put it down. Then I learned Napoli had a hard to hit cit! I was like, really? Lol
@@joedanker3267to be fair Napo cit is only troll at both close range and without 30mm overmatch or improved pen angles. The second you overmatch 30mm armor, have improved pen angles, or its linger range the citadel is very easy to smash
*laughs* you have made multiple videos on tank battleships except me USS MAINE. Pls make a video on this ship you would make the middle of the map a new state.
Got it in a satan container, at first i didn't really care about it because y'know, looks whatever, but after watching this video this ship's great! I didn't like Riga but somehow i like this one.
@@hagostaeldmann jinan is kinda nutty as well these days in pubs, yeah its situational but man playing it after playing a bunch of other superlight CL games, i really enjoyed curbing BBs in that thing
Smoke Mino is pretty useless in ranked though. I tend to view smoke as better in randoms and radar in ranked. Frustrating having smoke Minos constantly who take up your cruiser slot and don't end up actually doing anything.
@@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to Salem has an improved cooldown but not improved action time. Sevastopol and Tianjin are the only cruisers with 10s duration DCP.
Plus, I bet this game has as many 40+yo's who have never played video games in their entire lives.. lots of guys just love ships or were in the navy. "The Thinking Man's Action Game" :D

Because there was a time when mid tier cruisers were meant to teach cruisers gameplay.

@@ManuR-l4m 'there was a time'.. ffs
The ability of players to pick the only option which guarantees a loss, out of the bucket full of win options, is mind boggling.
Hot take? The 10 seconds up and 60 seconds down DCP should be the standard for cruisers.

Another great examination. Nobody digs into the mechanics and their impact on gameplay the way hagos does.
Merry Hagmas ☃️🎄
@crapmalls Hagmas sounds so weird, though
Hoe hoe hoe
Got it in a santa crate, not bad at all
nice game,and happy x-mas

It back in Luna New Year's Event !
How you didn't smash the citadel of the Santander when it came around the corner amazes me. If i breathe on a Santander it blows up.

Satan container 🙂. Might actually be more accurate......
could you pls do a Sicilia video?
this one was I really want since it first released. hope I got it from Containers.
sun yat sen and tianjin being the t9 prems hag guy likes. Clearly Pan-asian ships are brroken in this game
@@nergal5353 honestly....between YY, Lushun, SYS, Tianjin, Loyang, Teng She....the Panasian bias seems kind of real

Radar is great, but survivability is King.
Do Kozma Minin next 🥹
Game looks so much cleaner and watchable without those goofy mods

Sure, I'd also not recommend Tianjin in ranked over riga for same reason
Also Salem has the same DCP. It is only Salem though, I don't think any other cruiser has it.
@@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to Salem has an improved cooldown but not improved action time. Sevastopol and Tianjin are the only cruisers with 10s duration DCP.
@@hagostaeldmann I see, I missed that fact. Tianjin was originally going to have limited DCP like Sevastopol's but they changed it in ST iirc
@@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to and ironically if they just gave Sevastopol the same DCP it might be worth playing
ummm... mini hinden legmod tankyness?
Random behavoir is not "Purplexing" they just don't understand as you do or see the same things.
