Jesus now i got to get the Mainz too. The Weimar has made my cruiser games so much fun alongside the hipper and others. This will be a great addition to my collection as a cruiser main
Piece of history on the Maniz, she actually was the 4th Admiral Hipper Cruiser Seydtiz, which later was converted in the Weser Carrier. If she was ever finished as Cruiser K she would of been armed with the secondary guns that are on the Bismarck the L/55 C/28 150 mm guns.
Always love your straightforward and unbiased review of ships, really helps me to make an informed choice on where to invest my limited time and resources.
I just wanted to say that I always appreciate Spartan's review of new campaign ships so I know what is "hot garbage" and what is not. Keep up the great work Spartan!
Always appreciate your reviews of new ships! Thanks Spartan! I like breaking the ship into two qualities it does well and two qualities it sticks at (apart from the average of the ship type).
Funny, how some CC's conspired to get Weimar ruined by getting it nerfed or moved. But in escense, the Mainz is a slightly more powerful Weimar. Still, it's a cruiser, and well placed salvos can ruin any cruiser.
Man, It was a good game but as a BB player who has shot that thing a lot recently in my Iowa its definitely easy to cit just like seigfried lol. Once folk learn that its soft Your gunna seem die a lot trust me... I like the concept but that armor just aint it. They keep making heavy cruisers with soft armor but the light ones get strong armor lol. I'd gladly trade health for armor so I can ACTUALLY BE A TOUGH HEAVY CRUISER but you know.... Wargaming retarded...
This versatile ship fits most every role. Flanker, camper, inside brawler. In spite of its smaller caliber main guns, its exceptional fire rate more than makes up for it.
Excellent review of the ship, your review is top notch. That’s for sure, hopefully I’ll be able to finish the campaign. Since 2042 comes out Friday and I’m going to be playing that. With some Legends sprinkled in 😂
These new German cruisers are powerful.. glad they've added more heavy cruisers to the tech tree recently to balance it out a bit. As someone who doesn't pay much or have time to complete campaigns it's tough competing against these premium cruisers
Hey Spartan!! You sound good as new!! Amazing what a few days can do to clear the cob webs. Anyway, I have such a hard time with cruisers, is it just me? Love playing destroyers, and big boy b-ships😁. Keep up with exercises, it does wonders for me, physically, and mentally, love my natty dopemine. Anyway See you on the sea! Rick G. Denver Co. Maybe one day we could platoon up for an hour, would be epic! Take care, stay healthy!
I like the Mainz but like you did I use it as a fire starter and not a flanker you do get a lot of damage by fire starting but AP is actually insane I don’t tend to use AP on bbs or cruisers unless their crap cruisers that have a huge citadel then their back to port but the Mainz AP is actually pretty darn nasty so I used only HE in one match and got 89,304k damage then the next match 107k AP same map aswell but obviously you can’t get the same ships as one game and the other but it’s a good ship for a light cruiser
It's definitely an interesting ship to use. Very good guns, ap is awesome when the enemy is broadside, and good torps. You can definitely tell the Wiemar doesn't get touched as bad. Even game I've played with it so far when I get hit it HURTS. Balance I guess. Good boat though.
Awesome review. I view the Weimar as an apology for the YORK which is god awful. I only play German, so these new ships are adding more fun. Working towards my Mainz :)
hello captain spartan great video can t wait to have it in my port and yes doesn t matter what light cruiser i m drivin i have mostly the highest attention but i love it. so as allways good work from the swiss army knife in wowsl 😉👍 so have fun take care and with best regards from 🇨🇭
Is mimbelli worth it when the reload is already so quick? I mean even a 10% reduction is only .5 of a second off a 5 sec reload, and mimbelli aint getting you 10%. Just seems not worth it to me
He is just going through all the cruiser lines, from left to right ( he started with the Americans) so after the Edinburgh, it will be ablemarle, then it will be the Germans
I play this ship almost every time I hop on Legends. RIDICULOUSLY consistent, and that AP is no slouch. If Baltimore is the King of Heavy Cruisers, Mainz is the EMPEROR of Light Cruisers. That AP hits just as hard, if not even greater, and with Legendary Main Battery mod (And run Mimbelli as inspiration) you can drop that reload to a high 3 second reload. It's DISGUSTING. Mainz is a God, and now that T7s are the real money makers now, this ship replaces Atlanta as the Money Printer. DO NOT SLEEP ON MAINZ!!!
@@SpartanElite43 srry was supost to say jk at the end bro will never down play your games u help alot lol im not gonna lie i try to sit on behind islands sometimes im doing the British crusisers right now and its not going to good lol
CC's would receive store premiums for free, permanently. Campaign ships they would get on loan for a week or so, to test and make a video. They also get a regular dubloon allowance and I believe packs of event crates, but I'm not 100% sure on that last one. Basically, he will now have to buy everything to make these reviews, which is why he is asking for support.
You bought out the campaign worth over 30K doubloons just so you can make a video for us? If that’s not commitment I don’t know what is… You may no longer be a CC but I hope you still do the patch notes for us.
Hey man, i know ur not a cv player at all, want a video from cv british t5? So u can like show it to the guys instead of throwing resources on a build u never play
Jesus now i got to get the Mainz too. The Weimar has made my cruiser games so much fun alongside the hipper and others. This will be a great addition to my collection as a cruiser main
Ahh, this will make a *fine* addition to my collection
You mean the Winmar?
u mean the brrrtmar

great video i also would like to see more german ships

I was concerned about the armor... But first standard game with legendary ships... 88k+ damage, 1 kill, second on the leaderboard. Not too shabby.

As a battleship Main, I had to buy this cause it's so lovely and I really couldn't resist
Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. You’re one of my favorite creators.
Looking forward to taking this cruiser out in a few weeks time
Great video Spartan, as always. Thanks 👍

Keep at it spartan we are behind you 💪

Thanks Spartan really enjoyed seeing this video. Good to see you still making good content for us to watch and enjoy. 😉👍
Well looks like I'll have to add the Mainz to my collection now. Great video Spartan!
welcome back dude. good stuff.
Just gotta keep grinding my dude!
Great content as always Spartan! I'll definitely be working for this ship. NGL tho, concerned about you being dropped as a CC for Wargaming.
I just got the ship from the 2 week milestone today and on my last crate I got the mainz I'm so happy 😊 now I can get my revenge 😈
Great video and what a game Spartan
Great content as always Spartan!!
Awesome review. I view the Weimar as an apology for the YORK which is god awful.
I only play German, so these new ships are adding more fun. Working towards my Mainz :)
hello captain spartan
great video can t wait to have it in my port and yes doesn t matter what light cruiser i m drivin i have mostly the highest attention but i love it. so as allways good work from the swiss army knife in wowsl 😉👍
so have fun take care and with best regards from 🇨🇭
Will you be reviewing the new british carriers?
Yes
Hope all is well! 👍
Thanks for the video! I learned a bit more on how to play this map better.
Thanks for the "von Essen "tip spartan my fiji is mean right now. Gonna test the Edinburgh today lol .
Great video I appreciate the update man.
What happened with community contributor? Did I miss something?
Soooo. What happened and why did you leave the CC program? Sorry, I have no idea what went on
Mainz is awesome i have it all in my collection . I have nicoli set on it
Is mimbelli worth it when the reload is already so quick? I mean even a 10% reduction is only .5 of a second off a 5 sec reload, and mimbelli aint getting you 10%. Just seems not worth it to me
After the Edinburgh will you do the German cruiser line? I am about to get the Yorck
He is just going through all the cruiser lines, from left to right ( he started with the Americans) so after the Edinburgh, it will be ablemarle, then it will be the Germans
Great video once again Spartan. Hey youtube push this video!!
I love this ship.
Great 👍 video as always, will be purchasing this afternoon, what happened to you being a CC?
He said some serious to another streamer on stream and he admits he shouldn't have said that
He was kicked from the program
Another after the Duncan to get sweet goals...😮😂😊

Great review on the mainz 👍👍
Well played…! Thanks for sharing!
Never thought id i see the day u sit behind the island 😦
Yeah but we had lots of bad guys and we did what we needed to do to pull the game back
@@SpartanElite43 srry was supost to say jk at the end bro will never down play your games u help alot lol im not gonna lie i try to sit on behind islands sometimes im doing the British crusisers right now and its not going to good lol
Thanks Spartan
Def gonna pick this one up XD just a cheaper weimar?+ being more OP...
Love your videos always helpful thanks
Weimar 2 electric boogaloo
Haha 😄
Why is spartan not a CC anymore?
Because he said something very serious to another CC in stream and he admits he shouldn't have said that
Great form Spartan
Let's goooooooooo spartan keep up the work 💪
spartan thanks to ur videos i get a lot of ships cause of ur tips thank ye
Great video !
Will you be doing the new warhammer cruiser?
No
I understand the CC drop, but would you consider trying to come back? I'd understand either way at least it's not as toxic as PC's WoWs CC program...
That's up to Wargaming. As they were the ones who dropped him.
definitely getting this one now
Now I wonder with the weimar being up tiered to tier 7 if this will make the mainz less relevant 🤔
what happened to being a cc?
Salt ration happened
theirs a mini stream called We need to talk what explains it all :(
@@dgeneratio1 thanks man
German 5.9" are nasty, American cruisers are better largely because of the number of guns they mount. This one looks good with 12 guns.
Do flags do anything? Or just for look? Thnks
The main flag is just cosmetic but the booster flags boost different things, such as Silver earnings, or XP earned.
Had one on team, but never saw it. We lost, he was last. Don't think he lasted 2 min sadly. A ship is only as good as its captain lol.
+1, You have my support.
Awesome big appreciation
Good video!
Let's help Spartan!!!!
Cant wait to get this
Heck awesome content as usual
@Spatin_Eliet43 mind if I ask what happened between you and WG to cause you to quit the CC program?
He couldn’t control his temper and stepped down
@@LogicalLube thanks and I'm going to miss trying to catch him in a game and kill him or get killed by him and put it on my channel lol
Love your videos!
How is he not a cc anymore
Love your vids Spartan!!!
Great video. But aren't you the one always saying come out and fight lol
Well sometimes you gotta survive and take what you can get
Excellent 👍
spartan, why arent you a cc anymore? dont you meet the requirements of a cc?
He has a video on it, titled "We need to talk".
Great tips
oooh nice 3d
I'm only commenting because you said commenting helps
Appreciate
mainz is my favorite so i press like button kekw
I see you have the riga video when?? 😂
Not a CC? Did they kick you for being salty?
Ja Hans, zis is quality video
Biggest thing this has vs weimar Is heals lol
Why aren't you a CC anymore?
Why u no cc now?
Great vid 👍
hope ur a cc again some time
U re the man
What does it mean for spartan of he is a cc anymore?
CC's would receive store premiums for free, permanently. Campaign ships they would get on loan for a week or so, to test and make a video. They also get a regular dubloon allowance and I believe packs of event crates, but I'm not 100% sure on that last one.

Help Spartan out UA-cam and CC
I personally prefer Hipper because of its armor. Gives me more options considering my playstyle. But Mainz will destroy hipper to be honest
This is a Hipper but the 150mm guns
Spartan why aren’t you a CC anymore?
Watch his video we need to talk
How to get this now?
not currently available as it was a camp;aign reward but it may return to the game at some point.
You bought out the campaign worth over 30K doubloons just so you can make a video for us? If that’s not commitment I don’t know what is… You may no longer be a CC but I hope you still do the patch notes for us.
Helloo..Mlso..hope u appreciate my friendreship from ..Thumz up👍👍👍🍁💞

Hey man, i know ur not a cv player at all, want a video from cv british t5? So u can like show it to the guys instead of throwing resources on a build u never play
