I'm mostly a PC player and casual Legends player (just playing on my phone with my controller), but I did want to answer your question about PC XP earnings. For us, all damage is treated 100% equally for XP. Main guns, secondaries, torps, or fires. The only thing that matter is what percentage of the ship's HP you did in damage, it doesn't matter how that damage was done. I had no clue that secondary hits had a reduced XP earning in Legends, which kinda sucks when I'd mostly been playing a secondary BB, lol.
The only damage number I'm unsure about the conversion is AA damage. We used to only get XP per plane kill, but in 0.8.3 we started getting XP for all plane damage. All of our XP calculations are rewarded on a "percent of ship HP done" system, including capturing objectives which is (hilariously) recorded as 33% of a ship's worth of XP. I have no idea how that relates to AA damage. I have to assume it compares it to the HP of the max planes on deck or maybe the CV itself? Or perhaps it's a hidden number for a "full ship" of AA damage. You can get tons of XP off plane kills, but I could never find an explanation of what exactly it compared your AA damage to for that XP calculation.
Said it incorrectly twice….she has TWENTY FOUR - 130mm guns. Saucy.
Will the Picardie replace zieten at Tier VII for the best secondary battleship?
@DerkaGames you could run will to re build in the fourth slot to beef the heals more
It seems like a lot of people miss those 2 twin turrets per side. I have seen quite a few people say "8 per side" for some reason.
What's the point of having a lot of guns if they don't hit the target ? 🤔 I'm talking about the main caliber
@@pilotace200 in the stats menu normally the secondaries listed separately in the top portion of the menu are smaller caliber.
IE: 2x4 100mm
2x8 130mm
Instead of separating the same caliber
2x4 130mm
2x8 130mm
Those weren't the kind of rechargeable batteries I was talking about before. I'm talking about the battery pack that Xbox sells that charges via the USB C from the console. I've always gotten those up until I bought the elite series controllers. Those batteries last easily over 60+ hours on a single charge and charge pretty quickly too.
I would say two controllers is the way forward. One charges while you play with the other. No need to ever change battery packs. Just plug in the dead one and turn on the one you just unplugged and off you go. Top tip especially if you get microsoft plug and play battery packs; get used to immediately turning of the controller you just plugged in to charge ir else it will vibrate annoyingly whenever it is whenever you start taking hits in a battle and that's really not helpful.
I look forward to proving Grimlocks superiority with this ship. His special perk that makes the main battery much more accurate when the EST is active will be very potent (assuming EST II counts, theres no telling with WG).
Also, I may have missed itif you said it in the video, but a *very* important point about Picardie is that she has improved dispersion on the secondary battery, though the devs have not clarified *which* dispersion formula they have (the 2 most likely are German Battlecruisers or Massachusetts).
Last point. On the battery issue, my recommendation would be PowerA if you looking for a decent budget option, Eneloop if you only care about "best quality, regardless of price".
Love the graph ship ranking @Derka. Thanks for doing that
Thanks, glad you found it helpful!
Le tier VII shotgun
🥖
Another informative fun review dude 👍
Thanks!!!!!
Thanks for reviewing this one. I know my Flounder has shotgun dispersion, BUT, the 1 or 2 shells that do land are devastating...usually lol. And that's with Guepratte but one of my inspos is Cunningham at 16/3, so that may be why.
The 305 super cruzers have become one of my favorite types of boats to play with Azuma my #1 (310's). Was really hoping for this one.
Ggs 🍻
It's all about that "lucky shell" lol
I was the Pozarski you played a great game a joy to play with gg
You as well! Ggs
Great video! I love your content.
You should look into the Xbox pro controller, the USB-C rechargeable internal battery lasts forever. I don’t think it’s possible to fully depleted it in a 24 hour period. I might charge it two or three times a month. The battery life alone was worth the upgrade. Also, The adjustable trigger pull distance is useful on this game.
If they weren’t so expensive I would’ve bought one already
Good look Derka. I wasn’t sure if I’d get this ship but I think I will now. Thanks for the stats and showing me what the secondaries can do.
Funny off topic thing. I agreed with your vid calling N Dragon the worst ship in the game. I made it a pet project to get that ship a good win rate. That thing is underrated and a great credit earner believe it or not. I went from 24% wr to well over 50% in that time. Shoot AP as much as possible and if you know how to play DD, that thing might surprise you.
Glad you’re liking N Dragon!!! I actually played her again this week for a new vid coming up and had a decent game. Still a tough shop
Ship
Hey, look, that's me in the Borodino at the beginning of the video!
Ggs!!
It’s not a ship for me unfortunately. I think I’ll pass on this one.
Finally prop mod getting the love it desserves, i use it on most of my ships
😊
Great review thank 🙇
Thanks! 🫡
@ I did dev strike you the Jinan yesterday 🤨 I was in Louisiana - you in B cap your team still won gg .ps love your channel ✅👀
Controller batteries 😅 I've gone hardwired with the controller and the headphones. Great video. 👍🙂👍
Lol that’s smart, I’m still switching them out like a madman
Suggestion for you Derka
A tier list based on most powerful fleets in world of warships Legends
That would be a cool video to see, but it would get a lot of views 😎
When i play bbs, for some reason i just love brawling even if it isnt meant for it and it works out half the time so this ship will be fun 😅🤣
Hey I’m with ya!
Duracell rechargeable AAs are good. They last a good amount of time and don't die quick if you are not using it. Energizer rechargeable AAs last a bit longer right out of the charger but die quicker if left in a device and over time just die quicker. Where you will toss 4 Energizer a year compared to about four every 18-20 months with Duracell playing for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
2 words. Pro controller. Changed my world. Charges via USB on back of Xbox. Charges lightning fast. Good battery life. No stick drift.
As in the elite? I had LB problems and sent mine in. It was free to fix. I also have a new PDP controller. I love it.
@@unsealednardo9965good call thanks
Elite is night and day better than stock, mine been going for years NP
On the first look, i wanted to skip this campaign - but i didnt have a sec build in mind. So with Spok it could be a gem. Thanks for not making the ship down like almost every other review does.👍
Spok could make this even more interesting!
When the picardie was in testing i used running with scissors. Just because of french dispersion it seemed to make it more accurate lol. That was then, I'll have wait and see.
Ive used that strategy on Tirp and Bismarck haha i swear it works
@DerkaGames it's like it reduces vertical dispersion, but increases horizontal. Plus the turret traverse helps.
I think I will buy the campaign, but I will definitely not play it. I just hate battleships with bad guns-not being able to punish people consistently when they gamer-turn is frustrating. So yeah, just for collection, and so it won’t show up in my 2025 Christmas container.😅
Then why buy it
lol not a bad strategy
XBox have a Rechargeable Battery Kit for the Controller...Very good
PowerA Pro Fusion wired will do you good for a budget.
I love that title lol. So of the two secondary built BBs for the French, it has the best.
LOL correct
They make lithium ions now that are AA size. Might want to look into that
Fun review. Get 4320mah batteries and I regularly go 20+ hours between charges.
Also, you can plug in a USB-C charger and never have to change batteries again.
excellent thank you!
Too much recycling?
Yes. I agree with that. It's is too much recycling with the French ships particularly, but it's a Wargaming thing. If they're not doing that then they're simply re-skinning ships...the latest example is the new Pan-Asian cruiser that is a Charles Martel.
And let's not forget the "winter" ships of the past two Xmas campaigns that are tech tree ships with a different paint and that's the only difference.
Wargaming has been leaning toward less creativity in many things and a lack of original hulls for the upper tier French battleships is an example of that.
Picardie is a good ship but at Tier 7, I already have the Zieten, Brandenburg, Bismarck, Flandre, Vittorio Veneto, Tirpitz, and Atlantico as my secondary battleships. All of them different, some are clearly better than others, of course.
The video showcased the Picardie flawlessly, but I remain on the fence with this one...part of me is waiting for the Illinois to be released as a campaign ship...I've zero idea if it'll happen that way but to many in this game, it's been the Hindenburg, which I understand but for me it's the Illinois that I'd like to see.
But that's just me being me again.
You’re totally right, and I get that it keeps “the lights on,” but at times it feels lazy….Wukong being the laziest of them all 😂😂 let’s take a tech ship and just give it one of every consumable 😂 oh and a new skin. Yikes.
Hi, it’s “Picardee” like in manatee.
thank you!
The amount of money you spend on batteries you might as well get an elite controller. It lasts a long time and when ur done just throw it on the charger.
looking forward to having a game with Picardie with Spok at the helm
thats a good idea he would be perfect for it i imagine
Derka, you are so skilled at this game, 8 wins from 9 battles in a sub par ship. I reckon you know what your doing. Of associate some tips on how to get my 47% to 48%.=😊
Win rate feels a lot like luck to me! For instance, reviewing Brisbane when she came out, I think I ended up with a 20-30% win rate. I just try to have fun, enjoy the game, and then nothing else matters!
❤@@DerkaGames
Lol. Passive gameplay mechanic, so we get crap XP but then airplane kills with AA (which is also passive) gets tons of XP. And I'd say that AA kills require even less skill than secondaries because your enemy comes to you and your positioning doesn't really matter. Whereas with secondaries you still have to at least put your ship in a good position to utilize your secondaries effectively.
It’s not a Derka video unless he runs out of batteries in the middle of a game. 😂
LOL honestly this is getting embarrassing
Hey dude Rank season is out and you should try Queen.Mary it's a beast😮
I havent played ranked in years lol
Aw. Can you try please 😟
Do you practice tactical reloads with the controller batteries? 😆 I can swap mine under five seconds if I know where the charged ones/charger are... Just had to get a new set though too. I think they get about fifty charges before they start acting shady...
Lmfaooo I am pretty quick at it! Was hoping JB was gonna die soon lol cause I was starting to sweat 🤣
@DerkaGames If you ain't sweatin'; ya ain't workin'... 😆
Thanks. Picardie has me thinking it should be a T6 premium. Much better ships at T7.
It would absolutely obliterate at T6
Yea just buy the battery packs that are made for Xbox controllers and just plug it when you get off and you never have to worry about it
I have to ask this although im sure someone has asked it before but why don't you just get a wired xbox controller? Saves you all the trouble in every way
I hate wires. Its 2025. I havent had a wired controller since XBox 360 came out, would never go back now
What site do you use for your graphs?
Google docs
Or google sheets rather
Picardie on PC: 🤡
Picardie on Legends: 💪💪💪💪💪
I’d say that secondaries are more of an active armament than AA
The meta is sitting in Narnia and waiting for someone else to make a move.... I really hope wargaming reevaluates. Especially their stance on secondary ships. It's so boring to have a 15 minute stalemate
yeah when that push game finally comes its so fun
Sorry about that boss😂
😂🫡
Have you tried full accuracy including Al Scharnhorst? Do you believe this may work?
Did not test Al scharnhorst, I think it would defeat the purpose of the ship but you could test it!
I was going to skip this campaign since I have Flandre , but sounds like I shouldn’t now.
Tough call, watch a few more vids on her to make sure you’re not disappointed
What's the point of having a lot of guns if they don't hit the target? 🤔 I'm talking about the main caliber 😊
Youre absolutely correct, thats why you build full secondaries and use the main battery as a secondary armament if that makes sense.
Pass😊

Panasonic eneloop batteries, buy them once buy them for life.
Is it good to buy?
The only time i ever rec people buy ships in this game is when they are on sale or for admiralty backing. 2500 doubloons is a good value for a T7 premium ship
How much € cost this ship?
With admiralty backing it is 2500 (10 usd) doubloons and then you’d need to complete the 5 week campaign.
2ndaries are passive how about aa builds??? Come on WG fix that crap
Totally agree
Can you get Fernandes for free? How? I thought you needed to buy Atlantico?
Ya know I’m actually not sure… though the was free at this point 😢
@ tried looking in store under commanders-no dice 😢. I was probably gonna spend the dubs on ARP Haruna anyway but just sad
How do i get this ship?
Buy the admiralty backing for 2500 doubloons, then Complete the campaign missions. You’ll have 5 weeks to do so 😁
Lol i was the amagi in this game, first one to die💀 got stuck and everyone focused me immediately, my fault
Happens to us all. I died first(or 2nd?) last night in Des Moines
Not interested in this ship unfortunately, the armor is nice but the shogun dispersion and low caliber is a no for me.
shotgun is the perfect descriptor lol
@DerkaGames haha indeed! Love your videos sir
I just don't see any reason to play her over Brandy tbh, this campaign is an easy skip for me rn
Punchier secondaries, albiet is shorter ranged. Different flavor but yeah Brandy is quite hard to beat
The camo this campaign is having no camo 😂
I kinda like it haha I’m a realist
Chkalov needs it's bounce nerf reversed.
The ship is awful
Initiallly thought so as well, until playing her, armor and secondaries are kinda fun
@@DerkaGames I don't know, the guns are crap, no AA, secondaries are kinda fun, but way not the best at the tier. This is the meme secondary ship at all. And when you know how to play any ship is fun. But I think average players will be disappointed after the month of grind.
Or just buy a PS5 derka 😂❤
lol dont say that
