I got it as a container drop (lucky!), and while I haven't been a fan of the Dutch cruiser line in general this is a definite keeper. Good accuracy, decent DPM, and the air strike gives you the ability to hit things while hiding - either when you're hiding or they are.
Thanks for the review SeaLord. Got this yesterday and the guns are really good. The shell ballistics are actually identical to the Spanish tier 9 cruiser Andalucia, in terms of velocity, air drag and krupp, etc. But you get better dispersion, as you mentioned. Not sure if you said this in the video, but the other advantage it has over GL is the range on the guns. PVO gets just over 18km base, which with the accuracy and velocity of shells is very decent. Airstrike reload is down to 108 secs with the module and commander skill, but still as tough to aim!
I don't think the Oranje can replace the Gouden Leeuw for me. The reasons I pick the Gouden is not to set fires only, but because it can wreck light cruiser and BBs with AP as well as dislodge island huggers. I fell in love with the GL the day I kept citadeling a Montana at max range disrespecting my golden lion.
I got this ship also. Played once and was so astounded by the accuracy of the guns I almost forgot about the air strike! I then commenced to make an island camping cruiser very miserable.
I have the ship. The guns are very good. The airstrikes are a challenge to hit moving ships but very good for ships camping or doing a slow reverse. With Santa containers and festive rewards I quickly picked up the 10,000 steel I needed. I also am back up 30,000 steel. I picked up the Hoffman from a golden container. I am also back up to 30K steel.
I do have Oranje and she is quite a solid ship, her guns are consistent and she gets cruiser burn/flood time instead of a large cruiser so that makes her a very tanky cruiser. The airstrikes while nice shouldn't be your main focus, they are more of a extra, so focus more on her survivability and guns
what is funny is that i got the Prins Van Oranje on my very first Golden Container from my very first Santa gift container. i haven't played it just yet but i plan to.
I was lucky enough to pull all three of the Golden crate ships, and I feel that the Van Oranje and the G. Hoffman are both incredibly good, but Chikuma II comes up lacking.
Got this with steel and people be totally aware there is a bug in the turret health. You WILL have turrets knocked out with almost every enemy salvo. Enemy DDs who know about this will knock your turrets out constantly. In a few months everyone who breathes (not all players by a long shot) will know about the bug. For a few days in gold ranked it was hilarious seeing then only being able to shoot with one of the front turrets consistently disabled. Now you will never see one unless it’s a player trying to qual. You are totally relying on WGs ability to fix bugs……… It’s a great side grade with very effective guns. You need good guns cause you need to play at range because of the bug.
Picked up via golden container from mega container. Seems ok but was not overly impressed. Air strikes seem more accurate to me as well with this compared to tech tree. Will keep it but wouldn’t invest steel in it over the tech tree.
Na man, the ballistics are amazing. The 12 234 have great AP pen. Can cit BBs at closer ranges just like battle cruisers. The HE is also very nice when you consider how armored this this is. And with the great base range you have a really good reload and can take reload mode. The HE you have British fire chance with Japanese range. Oh and don't forget the AP still over matching super light cruisers liko mino and smolnsk
@@supertris1174 The AP is very similar to Henry IV, hardly known for it's smashing abilities. If I want ballistics I play a Petro and get radar for free. If I want dpm the yanks have double. If this was a research bureau ship I'd pick it up at some point. As a steel ship, 0 chance.
@@sirtogii5216 no it's not like Henri at all. Guns on Prince are way more comfortable at range. And the armor is a lot more reliable. Out of all the steel ships in the event it's easily the highest performing one. Yeah Petro is better AP wise within 12km but the prince is a lot of versatile all around. The accuracy drop off on Petro is really bad. And lbh the HE on Petro is so anemic it's better to shoot AP at angled targets. If it's not your style that's fine, but you should watch some PQ videos before you write this one off as just another HE spammer.
@@supertris1174 If you say so. The parameters on ship tools look very very similar, slightly more drag on the French shells but the Frenchie has got better fire chance, the ability to reload boost when he wants to and use the engine to avoid being hit. To me, it just doesn't look different enough to anything else to merit steel purchase. For players who already have all the ships I'm sure she's a different flavour.
This game is such trash people report your position to the enemy team....just to end the battle faster or cause reasons. No one ever does anything about it. In fact the enemy team will ask now its so common hey where is the dd...oh F8. Worse then WOT.
Prins of Oranje can launch 2 air groups at the same time. The guns are alot better. I would say they are the most accurate guns in WoW. but don't listen to me, I'm only the test pilot for Wow ships in BETA before this game went live. Been playing for over 10 years now.
For those who would want to try to pronounce Prince of Orange in Dutch, try to say "Prins fahn oh-RAHN-yuh"
Goed bezig
And the Glue is pronounced Gow-Den Lay-Ooo right?
@@PigPissBeUponThem Bing AI says that's correct. As a Dutch person, I can't for sure know how an English person would pronounce it.
@@Zero-oh8vm :D hurray I win A+

30k steel for a sidegrade ship is absolutely batshit insanity

got her in a santa container and I love her. her guns does good consistent damage, pretty good reload, armour is decent aswell as her maneuverability
I got this ship also. Played once and was so astounded by the accuracy of the guns I almost forgot about the air strike! I then commenced to make an island camping cruiser very miserable.
so u became one urself ?

I feel bad for the steel farmers. I got Gold versions of Hoffman and Oranje
This ship is so fun, her ap slaps so hard
The airstrike is hard to get used to, but the guns are great. You have to think of it as a gun boat rather than an airstrike boat.
I do have Oranje and she is quite a solid ship, her guns are consistent and she gets cruiser burn/flood time instead of a large cruiser so that makes her a very tanky cruiser. The airstrikes while nice shouldn't be your main focus, they are more of a extra, so focus more on her survivability and guns
Just got her from a Santa container, she's pretty fun but not broken as far as i can tell
It's certainly better than Hoffman, but the strongest and most unique option in this steel event is definitely Chikuma II
Chikuma is bad ship in this meta, so most worst choice for steel
I won this ship in the Santa event. Weird because I never win ships and now I win a steel ship lol.
what is funny is that i got the Prins Van Oranje on my very first Golden Container from my very first Santa gift container. i haven't played it just yet but i plan to.
Very jealous right now. That is the only ship I really find interesting out of all of them.
Got this ship from a golden container. Still haven’t used it in a real battle yet though.
I was lucky enough to pull all three of the Golden crate ships, and I feel that the Van Oranje and the G. Hoffman are both incredibly good, but Chikuma II comes up lacking.
just got the iowa
Hebrew G-OU(as in, "ouwie! That hurt!")-den(dun) Leeuw(L-ewww, drawn out " Ew, gross).
dang it, just got Stalingrad

where is the Asym mode? i havet seen it yet lol
How does it compare to van speijk?
Picked up via golden container from mega container. Seems ok but was not overly impressed. Air strikes seem more accurate to me as well with this compared to tech tree. Will keep it but wouldn’t invest steel in it over the tech tree.
it sounds like kijkduin uptiered with better plane range. i think i'll stick with Gouden Leeuw - better because not waiting 3 minutes for airstrike
The Omnissiah approves
Oh yeah the goofy video for this is fun
Is this the best clip you've gotten? This can be much better, I was quite annoyed by his way of playing with this ship.
Did the best I could with what I got from teams, other games ended too quick
luckily i got this but it was not what i wanted, spent over 250 just for 2 tier 9 garbage dds and some t7 and t5 ships nobody cares about
I have the regular and g version of this ship. I really enjoy it but it isnt anything super special.
hello
Hard pass. GL with legendary mod if you want airstrikes. Better options if you just want to have a cruiser that can set fires.

This clip of the prins van oranje isn't great game play so many mistakes are made
oh, and BTW, I have the gold version of Prins van Oranje
