A bit of history: these ships were laid down, but work was suspended at the beginning of WW1 (like many). These ships were around 40-50% complete when work stopped. They were initially referred to as armored cruisers, but were to be the fast wing of the battleline, which was what the battlecruiser was morphing to from the original British concept of an armored cruiser killer. There was some thought of starting work again after the war and even consideration of a carrier conversion, but ultimately they were considered obsolete and scrapped. They would have had colossal throw weight if completed. It wouldn't be exceeded until Nelson and Rodney were launched. Many of their guns ended up as shore batteries or railroad guns.
@@SpartanElite43 I hated this ship when she first came out the guns for me were the issue but Azur Lane Scarnhorst fixed that and I now love the Izmail
First video at the new place! Unfortunately the 4k isn't done processing yet but it will be available once it finishes! Thanks for letting me know I goofed and grabbed the wrong Photo for the Thumbnail too! It is fixed now!
man i just love the izmail the guns are soooo freakin accurate I hit so well in it and the dispersions fantastic but the downside is whenever you dont pay attention to the map and a bb with high caliber guns or an american bb (california, tennese etc) you are 90% sure that youre dev striked if youre flat broadside i dev strike broadside izmails in anyone of my T5 or T6 bbs
Ive had games in new mexico when izmail goes fully broadside i fire under her second turret and almost kill her in 1 salvo shes particularly easy to cit
You have to shuffle & tend to keep the arse pointed towards the enemy…but with the right angles on cruisers or BBs and a commander build suited for penetration and accuracy, the guns on this ship can be extra spicy.
My favorite tier 5, at first and before buying it i saw a lesser Normandie, now i absolutly love this ship, had like 4-5 krakens in it and love to use it from time to time... on par with Warspite and Q.E. for me
Congrats on joining the 21st century with a reliable intrawebs connection. Saw Peek's stream where you along with Aaron pulled off the last-second win in arena mode. Epic!
Glad to have you back. Just a thought but you might need some sound dreading traps around the room, you sound a little hollow. But otherwise great video.
In order to increase range you could put up the Epic battle booster flag or you must obtain Megatron as his base trait increases the main gun range of your battleships.
I feel she one of the better tier 5 TT battleships. You can’t play her at long range at all. 13km at most so it’s almost better to put on brawler build to keep yourself closer.
Love this ship an it's probably one of the best bbs at tier imo. Just took it out last for a 113k game an took a Nagano, cruiser, and put the hurtn on a Colorado an Florida, and in short won my side 🤣 😂 🤣
Good to have you back my favorite ship to fight at long range so easy to sink with plunging fire but under 10 kms much much harder so sink her early or pay the price
Plenty of potatoes out there I have teams that do nothing but die get a defeat nearly 2k base and they have about 700 or 800 xp great video Mr Spartan 😎👍
The way Spartan died in the game showed exactly why i hate fighting destroyers: their torpedoes hit like nukes, they launch from invisible range and to top it off, torps get detected at ranges that leave you no choice but to accept you are going back to port (in BBs at least). They are so not fun to play against :/
Situational awareness, keep an eye on the map and make educated guesses, position your ship in a way that you have an escape. Or, just sail in a straight line and continue to wonder why that fubuki keeps nuking you.
Glad you're back man. When is the housewarming party? :p By the way, this was the first ship where i one-shot a full health bb. A fine ship in my opinion
Talking about "not being able to do damage", I have had several games recently where no matter what I do, how perfectly the aiming is, my RNG just goes to crap and i do no damage. So frustrating. In a battle last night, I had 38 overpens in the Kansas. So aggrevating.
I did not know you can get 17km range on izmail.. that might have made things easier. But yea, this was a struggle to grind through, it just doesn't help that its more rear gun focused so you cant point forward as effectively. Sinop is better but does troll you with its armor. Vlad in the right situation is a dam monster and a pain to get off the board... But often I'll find myself bow tanking like 4-5 enemy ships for half the game to find half my team died when I was taking most the salvos... Like... how the f? Specially when I build for fire prevention to take that pressure off the allies!
What you need to do with you izmail is change one of your inspirations to ciliax and you will be dev striking broadside Californias at 14km i know cause ive done it multiple times its my favourite ship in the whole game the Izmail and i have 245 ships
after I wasted so many hours leveling up and 16 level Sims or Takagi just says nope, cant hit a target in 6 km! I have found out that for the price of Admiralty Backing u could buy some games with a discount! (8-9 usd) what I ended up doing - bought Mudrunner. I say duck off to this matchmaking.
It's a weird ship to play. The first two Russian BB's have great armor so long as you stay angled and this thing acts like its built to be a brawler but unfinished armor - like the Russians ran out of armor and just said: Screw it, comrades. Send her.
You do realize if you use the skill 'Volunteer' instead of 'Collective Labor' you will get +2 damage cons and minus 8% damage con reload, right? Idk, in my opinion 'Volunteer' is so much better than only +1 damage con and +20% duration.. Who the hell cares about damage con duration? 😂
Hate the Izmail. Citadel is way too vulerable. I got devstruck by a new mexico FROM FULL HEALTH broadside on and after that match I sold the piece of junk without even thinking. HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Izmail is fantastic, as long as you do the dreadnought shuffle well.

Congrats on joining the 21st century with a reliable intrawebs connection. Saw Peek's stream where you along with Aaron pulled off the last-second win in arena mode. Epic!
Along with the Amagi and the Kii, the Izmail is one of the best kiting ships around.
Glad to have you back. Just a thought but you might need some sound dreading traps around the room, you sound a little hollow. But otherwise great video.
Yeah got a lot of work to do

Rough game… but good video. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on the move.
Great vid Spartan!!!!
One of my favourite battleship!!!
Yes you are finally back 🥳
Jiiiha... There it is. Thx👌👍
I used the Izmail to get my two High Cals for this week so either I did something Spectacularly wrong or Spectacularly right.
I play it by moving forward then swinging the whole ship around and playing it in reverse. Allows the guns to switch sides easier.
What is your average speed now in your new apartment compared to the other one?

When are the Italian battleships from PC coming to XBOX
I have a question. I play on xbox one and dont know how to lock the guns. Is that just not a feature for my console or what?
Change to controller preset 3 in options and gun lock will be on left thumbstick button
@@SpartanElite43 got it. Many thanks, spartan
Personally, when I have no luck with a ship I give it the rust bucket permacam, Ishmail was the thrid ship I did this with.
*Kentucky & Illinois*
Would of been so cool if they were completed & persevered.
The floating citadel of death.
Unless well angled
Wow, reminds me of a game I had today lol. Fucking people with no mics. Gotta love that 😂😂
Glad you're back man. When is the housewarming party? :p
By the way, this was the first ship where i one-shot a full health bb. A fine ship in my opinion
Good video Spartan.... Thanks ☺️👍
hope you enjoyed!
Fun fact: Izmal was a planed heavy cruiser
Welcome Back!
Thanks
That my friend, is the Pyotr in the thumbnail.
Edit: Fixed.
No it is the Izmail I took the thumb from the very end of this section when I look around the ship.
I may have goofed
@@SpartanElite43 Yeah I just noticed
What’s your highest damage match from tier 5 or lower?
I have had several 170 to 180k games at tier 5 but no idea what my highest is
Welcome back
Bro I love your videos keep going please
So.. when is the first live stream..??
I have to wait for another cable to come in so probably late next week or so.
Talking about "not being able to do damage", I have had several games recently where no matter what I do, how perfectly the aiming is, my RNG just goes to crap and i do no damage. So frustrating. In a battle last night, I had 38 overpens in the Kansas. So aggrevating.
Lol Kansas is so big it has 38 or more of everything.
Rng is never on your side when your taking on the enemy team single handed. I feel you
Illinois is the other Iowa class battleship.
Yeah, it would have been the second battleship named Illinois, the only one was a pre-dreadnought.
This ship is a floating citadel, love coming against it with American B.S
Problem for me is the roof because you only have 25 millimeters of armor on the top so when up tiered I never snipe.but that's just me
New video let’s go!
Thats not a ship, thats a box, a floating citadel
Just don’t be a potat and sail broadside and you’ll be just fine
I did not know you can get 17km range on izmail.. that might have made things easier. But yea, this was a struggle to grind through, it just doesn't help that its more rear gun focused so you cant point forward as effectively.
Sinop is better but does troll you with its armor.

Specially when I build for fire prevention to take that pressure off the allies!
Other iowa is Illinois
When your done we need a pic of your new battle station
I know this is two months too late, but I think the other Iowa is the Wisconsin.
How do u have soo much global xp
Pog
I play the Ismail more than any other in that Nation
Never underestimate the power of potato and let me tell you there’s a ton of potatoes in this game.
The dispersion on the Russian line past 11km is just painful to see. That's the main reason I always play them with a brawler build.
Izmail looks like Gangut but bigger
I just had a game in arena against an Izmail and that damn ship hit me for half my hit points. I only citadelled him once for some weird reason 🤷🏻♂️
As a Free to Play player, the fact that the campaign ship is locked behind Admiralty Backing, and thus a paywall is unfair.
theres my fav t5 BB
Many times seen dd's searching for non existing aircraft carrier.
Or even BB once or twice.
...In a match WITHOUT ANY CV's

SPARTANS BACK YAY
No
My izmail dos death strikes
Your thinking uss Illinois was the 4th to be built
She is tanky as hell as long as you don't go broadside.
Izmail is fun to play until you get either death stuck or citadel hard and then you start contemplating life choices 🙃😂
It's a weird ship to play. The first two Russian BB's have great armor so long as you stay angled and this thing acts like its built to be a brawler but unfinished armor - like the Russians ran out of armor and just said: Screw it, comrades. Send her.
Better internet
Way Better
Anyone else got quality issues?
Never mind. Great Chanel Spartan, I watch all the wowl vids✌🏼⚓🇧🇻
Quality ??

The thumnail is wrong but i know today you're quite tired.
U literally said in the gangut video that tier 3 to 5 for fun to play and now ur staying Ismail is ur least favorite huh
Least favorite doesn't mean it isn't fun.
You do realize if you use the skill 'Volunteer' instead of 'Collective Labor' you will get +2 damage cons and minus 8% damage con reload, right?
Idk, in my opinion 'Volunteer' is so much better than only +1 damage con and +20% duration.. Who the hell cares about damage con duration? 😂
I care because it has saved my bacon more times than I can count with floods especially
@@SpartanElite43 so you rather 1 damage con instead of 2 ? Lol
Hate the Izmail. Citadel is way too vulerable. I got devstruck by a new mexico FROM FULL HEALTH broadside on and after that match I sold the piece of junk without even thinking. HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
If u know how to angle this is one of the best tier 5s hands down
First
Izmail is trash. I have dev striked it thousand times
Def difficult to play. However a well played izmail is terrifying
