I am really interested to get this ship. But i just started playing WOWs like a year ago. So i still have a lot of ships to get. But i like the concept of this ship... I have a question not related to the video. I am grinding FreeXP right now to get at least one of the FreeXP ships before they are only avaiable through coal. Would you get the Groningen or the Azuma? I both like to play DDs and cruisers equaly, and i both like the playstile of a gunboat (already got Marceau, also because of your suggestion ^^ hard to play but really like it) and of a kiting cruiser (grinded german line first, so i played roon and like it to). But i heard that Azuma is kind of boring but idk, i dont mind farming only with HE. So whats the better choice?
Get Groningen without a doubt you’ll win every single dd fight it’s a good cap contester and pretty good aa not enough to stop a cv but enough for the cv to decide maybe striking another ship azuma isn’t really good it has good he and a decent hp pool for her size but her armor is horrible and half the time youll get dev striked without even going full broadside she can be good in the right hands but there’s no way I would choose azuma over gronigen imo
@@justatroll777 Thx for your suggestion. I was leaning towards Groningen, because i recently really enjoy playing gunboad dds. But knowing i only can get one of the free xp ships the decision is not easy haha. But you are helping a lot.
@@AllesssKlar np and it’s always your choice just choose the one you think you’ll have more fun in it ain’t always about how good a ship is if you think azuma isn’t better but you’ll have more fun in her then go for it same could be said about Groningen.
That Illinois looks good for this new ship to be interesting, so the Main Battery Guns is not much a slow reload battleship time but it's amazing to spam more HE shells and a small caliber like Des Moines 👍❤
@Tyler Banns will the thing is some people don't watch the beginning or the intro because UA-cam has it to where if you click on a certain button you can literally skip the intro and it categorizes the video well whatever he's stuffing in the video he can click on that category like if you wants to click straight to gameplay he can go straight to the gameplay since the video is categorize
@Tyler Banns I'm not making shit up they are categorized videos and some people can just stroll zoom if you own mobile straight to the gameplay that's what most people want to see what a new ship drops is the gameplay of the ship not the stats not none at all
The amount of shells you throw per minute is right in the middle between the Tulsa or Buffalo and the Des Moines. But considering she takes a BB slot WG should have given her some utility. Radar, hydro or def AA would have been nice.
It can citadel a yammie at close and can he spam at further range and the ap is still really good what are you talking about🤔 it’s not supposed to be fighting yammie ‘a every game
@@justatroll777 Oh yeah? It can citadel a BB/Yamato at point blank range? What's the maximum broadside AP it can do? Gotta do everything right x2-3 vs that same BB doing everything right 1 time. Pointless design. Pointless implementation. Come on dude. Find something to stan other than wargaming's profit margins.
@@hellstorme 5k with 12 guns 70k in 8 seconds that’s 210k in the same time a yammie get’s a single salvo plus this ship was almost built so it’s not some made up bs unlike other paper ship’s plus it’s tier 9 bb with bb hp and better dmg then the tier 9 American heavy cl buffalo and it’s different why tf are you pissed at this there’s hybrid bb’s a damn hybrid dd actual paper ships that didn’t have a single thing going for them yet your mad at a bb with cruisers guns cause it can’t fight a Yamato do you not see how crazy you sound🙃
This thing is just such an oddity. I can see if they were going for something like this if they gave it the Des Moines guns, but not the Buffalo. I could also see them giving it a reload booster with the Buffalo guns to give it more striking capability, but they didn't do that either. Seems like a waste of RP to me unless you have all the other RP ships already.

Take the groningen. Because you can buy the Yoshino for coal. She is better than Azuma.
This is what a rb ship should be. Fun unique
highly agree
yeah 2 cvs per side is fun. I had the honor to be focused by 2 tier 8 cvs in an Ashitaka
skill issue (jk)

How much reaserch points?
Unlike the unhelpful guy above I'm going to tell you 51,000 research points
^you both have a point
watch the first 30 seconds of the video

Asia server has lots of Super CV in Tier X games
How match it cost
servce gost is around 6ok per math
@@OverLordBou so how I can have it or own it
question, how good can he be in ranked?
It sucks
Worst ship in the game for Rank
it is okay for ranked.
How you not got an AA defense expert with 50 planes kill?
WiP ships don't get achievements
it was a test ship so doesnt get achievements
you think its somethin to pick up over the slava or ohio though?
nvm, heard your answer :)
well said
thank you for the positive repsonse
There's no way I'm buying this. . . I'm more of a tanking brawler guy when it comes to BBs. . .
Love the review Bou 💯
How did you not mention the fact that this ship has an underwater citadel that you will not be able to penetrate even at full broadside
That is what she said
coal but not for research are they serious
as serious as jorge getting suspended
It's a blast in Brawls.
Got my RB points ready for this bad boy!!!
Damn! I got Ohio several days ago(
I wish I saved those points for this ship
L
@@The_White_Warlord Ohio is the best ship in the RB, you made a fine choise! Illinois seems like more of a "to have some fun" kinda ship
but point of playing wows is to have some fun right?@@sargisshirinyan207
Its a good investment yes
Hey, Illinois has better HE dpm than Yodo….. if that says anything😂
Sounds like a bad Mecklenburg

nice a batleshit with a fast reload .... rly wargaming???
Ah perfect, an Iowa that can't deal with a Yamato in any circumstance.
A perfect metaphor for the state of Illinois... Bureaucracy run amuck. It even needs research *Bureau* points to unlock.
It can citadel a yammie at close and can he spam at further range and the ap is still really good what are you talking about🤔

It also can't fight any cruiser kiting it either, so like lol.

Don't think i would use this more then Georgia.
if you have georgia why play anything else?
