I can say as a loyal subscriber of 3ish years, long form videos are the best. If you have to do double features you should because 20+ minute videos are the best.
It is pretty crazy how fast most games go now. Played the Cleveland last night - it's been a while since I took her out. So, I did the "normal" thing - put myself into decent position with island cover and close enough to provide radar support. By the time I'd setup, 7 of the 9 red ships were sunk... it was about 4 minutes into the game. Think I ended up with 30k damage total from some cross-map shots at BBs.
That's pretty much what it's like to play a support/dd hunter cruiser while knowing what you're doing. By the time you get into position the only thing still alive is bbs camping in the back of the map.
I love cruisers especially when I’m solo. I feel like most other classes lack the ability to carry a game the same way a good cruiser can. You have the consumables to deal with destroyers and you have the dpm to rack up damage and kills. Destroyers are too reliant on torpedoes to kill battleships and cruisers and battleships rely on other ships to spot destroyers or require the destroyer to make the mistake of getting themselves spotted for you to kill them
DD and cruisers are tough to play and blowouts happens fast when they don’t have situational awareness and put themselves in bad positions (throwing away their ships less than 2 minutes). It’s a night and day difference what a good DD/cruiser can impact the out come of the match.
WG can create Wizards & training videos. Customer training room exercises with strategic pauses to say "notice there are (3) ships that are targeting you, and you are sailing broadside". Updating the command wheel to have options like "Flank here, Crossfire here, etc." To teach novice players good battleflow.
Speaking of AFK I had a game yesterday in the Michelangelo on a flank doing well when the game (Xbox) froze and then rebooted. About two minutes later I was back up and the secondaries had sunk 2 ships I was on fire and lost fair amount of HP. The ship was at full speed and still afloat. It’s happened a couple times or 3….
As a cruiser player I find it frustrating when my battleship leaves their side and play in the back all game. I very new to this game and not experienced enough but man it boils me up inside
I love them because my uncle was a Petty Officer on HMS Sheffield during her Arctic convoy days. But the ludicrous decision to not give them HE still pisses me off.
I think the major reason for roffle-stomp games is poor destroyer play by one team. Sure, cruisers at Tier-7 & up can wreck a destroyer, but they can also BE wrecked very quickly. You make a great point about aircraft spotting, Spartan. What is the point of equipping fighters on a battleship or cruiser these days? Lord knows they hardly EVER shoot down enemy aircraft....
AFK Away from keyboard. Learned it from Big Bang Theory in the episode when Penny became obsessed with an on line game. The future Nobel Laureate taught her and me….😊
I have been in matches that are blow outs for my team or the other team a lot lately regardless of the tier. People don't seem to want to learn how to get better or care. I was really bad at first but I almost have a 48% win rate now, because I understand the game better.
Had a game that was close we had the numbers, but the other team had the points. Shimanto is right in front of DD, dodges torps and then just heads toward him and just wont shoot or set out torps, he positively threw the match. Wtf is the matter with people, they like losing. Man I was ripped. It was an easy kill and he refused to kill him. I hate most of the player base that we have now.
For whoever feels like in the titles: US cruisers are not versatily enough to be a happy pick for game. Try UK light cruisers and Italian ones, or the Russian fast firing ones, which at least have range 4 torps Anyway, it fustraiting when your team has no teamwork at all, or broadsiding like an emptyminded one, charging without any wiggling eating every dmg they've been shoot at
I got the Michelangelo yesterday and I played her earlier today. I won't be indulging in that masochism again. The design is so bad that you have no option on some maps but to open far too much of the ship to return fire. Give me a Cleveland any day, lovely fire starting DD munching hellspawn😁 Don't worry I do use AP on broadside cruisers and BB superstructure.
Sparten can u do a video of gk with a accuracy free to play build? also is Robert jaujard and Andrew Cunningham good inspirations for a accuracy build?
Please keep adding the builds before you use a ship, super helpful to learn what people are using compared to some of your "Meet The..." that are over 4 years old. I know WOWL has a builds website but even those are two+ years old. Anyways thanks for the helpful content to learn not to be a bot!
I know for me the game crashes when i enter a match sometimes. Ive been seeing it a lot more this year especially after the newest update. Part of it is internet issues but the game takes so long to get into now. I have xbox 1 btw so its on the older side
Well I just got a Kraken with Arizona and my team still lost I had 132,000 damage because my team was so garbage I remember your game on stream yesterday was similar in Arizona spartan I keep getting mororns on my team
@@24Taroleaf224fsb that’s sounds about right bro me and the carrier was the last two left on our team and they had 7 players still I killed 5 of them he only had the other carrier and a destroyer I killed on of the destroyers but the carrier got me
@@godzillaiv2096 Especially when good players can be dragged down by bad teams. I dont tend to call myself a good player, bc I know I still can learn, but its hard to not call a team bad when we lose and Im at least 500 base xp over the rest of the team.
I've lost connection a few times at beginning of game and its not my net connection its on WGs side, and it infuriates me because I never leave a game.
That's happened to me quite a few times over the last couple weeks. Battle starts screen comes up and freezes. End up having to restart the game. Waiting doesn't help, had a smoke and watched 20 min vid on the tube still froze.
I haven't had fun playing this game in weeks so bearly pay. That's a problem because people like me are pretty good players so its fewer good players in the game. It becomes a kind of vicious circle.
In today's attention-deprived world in which multi tasking and distractions are a daily reality, i don't see how a fast match like this would be an issue. People generally have the attention span of squirrels nowadays... And I'll also bet more than a few of these viewers commit more than their fair share of bad game-play....they'll never admit to it or, they lack self awareness, but they are here...right now, sitting in this room, like the murderer in a Clue game. You may know who you are. Also ...... These videos have fast forward capabilities on every video for a reason. 10 minute videos may actually be better. An epic drama is not needed every time. Cruisers are fantastic ships, and they should be showcased more often. Next to the destroyer, cruisers are the most important ship out there. And this gives Moony another great idea. 3 Mount Rushmores should be discussed. EACH one celebrating the best players of each class of ship. Content creators rank ships and commanders, but they don't often, or ever discuss the best of the best and that's just as subjective as ranking ships and commanders. Want some ideas? There ya go.... Who's on that Mount Rushmore of cruiser players? Who's on that Mount Rushmore of Destroyer players? Who's on that Mount Rushmore of Battleship players? and then explain why they are there. That would make for some interesting in-depth analysis, acknowledging the finest players that this game has ever seen in each ship class. They earned it.
When did "Hell" become a "sorry for my language" word? It didn't....besides that, if one has ever heard a ragun' cagun' Spartan during a livestream, and I'm a seasoned veteran viewer of those (4 years this month!) there are an infinite "sorry for my language" moments that's literally become a spun web of obscenities that float over Lake Erie to this very day like the smog in Los Angeles. ...and it's growing. goodbye Great Lakes....
The games over in the first 2 minutes has got insanely worse - especially over the last couple of updates. Could be an influx of new players, I don't know. Selling high tier ships doesn't help, but it's more of a player issue rather than a WG issue(have some fault obviously). Vast majority of the playerbase refuses to learn and that's the problem bc not much anyone can do to remedy this unless said players decide to take the initiative and want to improve. Makes for an unenjoyment time more often than not and doesn't help they have updates that are just not fun...aka current update wasn't really that enjoyable.
It seems to come in waves, no pun intended, and this one seems to be a big one. It's probably a lot of factors outside the game, including other games being released and so forth. My biggest problem with the game, and why have to take breaks, is I can handle bad teammates or player rng protection, not both. If I'm on a good team but rng constantly screws me over to protect the potatoes then okay. Kinda boring for me but okay. If I'm on a bad team but I'm allowed to punish bad players at least I can do well individually and who knows? Maybe even carry the team to a W. But when I'm on a bad team AND the game doesn't allow me to use my superior knowledge and experience to punish noobs and potatoes for constantly screwing up then there's literally no point in my being there. It would be the same if I started the match and went AFK.
@@SpartanElite43 they really are...but I've had a few bad matches where I'll head out spot and both of the ships that are supposed to be with me either flee to the edge of the map or simply refuse to shoot the enemy DD instead shooting at a fat BB....kills me each time it happens lol
WG could do something about it by changing some of their communication presets to be something useful. Presets like "thank you" "that's how it's done" "good game" are completely useless and need to be taken out of the game. But they never will because this game is clearly a money grab.
@@177SCmaro problem is most people turn it off because 50% of the time you have some nudnik screaming obscenities' or someone with an open mic eating potato chips.
@@Dr_Orca_Killer-zp9ux unfortunately I do not of my near 8K games not even 100 of them have been in carriers destroyers are not much higher maybe 600 I’m not sure would have to look
Not to knock, but change that negative to a positive by playing more DDs. Play what you're uncomfortable with to become a better player..except CVs. Don't play those(Joking).
@@godzillaiv2096 yeah I got you mate I’ve got many good high tier DD’s I just never play them but I’ve got some skill in them just not as much as others ya know
While I think the games that last 5 minutes kinda suck, the game itself is meant to be faster paced than PC, thats why our spawns are closer and our maps are smaller.
Ya since mobile was fully added the game went into the toilet. I'm done with it. Just ain't fun to play anymore. Every match has been decided in the first 3 minutes with afk players or your teammates either dead or abandoning the flanks.
I can say humans are the problem with this game and 95% should bugger off and play something else! They are the greatest let down and I'm disgusted in their uselessness!😢
I can say as a loyal subscriber of 3ish years, long form videos are the best. If you have to do double features you should because 20+ minute videos are the best.
Cruisers can have a psychological effect on the other team and a good cruiser player in a good position can really help capture a flank
you gotta be insane tho to realize a good position to flank tbh

Yesterday right when the match started my internet said fuck you . Luckily I got back in game an only missed 2 minutes lol
I enjoy the, "meet the" videos, around 30 mins of content, a breakdown of what the vessel can do, and a gameplay or two.
Cheers Spartan
In my day, I definitely would've been the child to have fallen down a flight of stairs 😂
It can be difficult to those new players to play cruisers, I love british light cruisers but they have zero armor
I love them because my uncle was a Petty Officer on HMS Sheffield during her Arctic convoy days. But the ludicrous decision to not give them HE still pisses me off.
God Spartan, i admit i dont watch you often but god my thoghts are your thoughts and i feeeeeeel your paaaaaaaaiin man!

When did fighters other than patrol fighters from CVs themselves shoot aircraft down anyway lol
Well can you play Ägir or Napoli secondary build?
AFK is free chicken. Not my problem why they’re AFK.
Cruisers and DDs.....they are annoying to play cuz they are so unforgiving. As soon as anything doesnt go your way, you just explode and die
AFK Away from keyboard. Learned it from Big Bang Theory in the episode when Penny became obsessed with an on line game. The future Nobel Laureate taught her and me….😊

Where did you get that camo? I think I saw you play in the Baltimore with the same camo.
It's one of the July 4th special camos I believe
It was a special July 4 bureau project ‘Broad Stripes and Bright Stars’ from two years ago. Don’t recall seeing them on offer since.
Hey spartan. Been watching your content for a while and was lucky enough to get into a game with yesterday and wanted to say sorry for troping you😁
Gg
you need to try hidden build DE 7 it is actually really strong but i don't think many people know that so it will be interesting video for many

WOWS Legends is the new Blitz lol
Cleveland has a horrifying Arch which is why I don't like it but it's a good ship
nice
Are these eagle type camos coming back in the future?
Probably
I don’t think I’ve seen them return in the two years since their limited bureau release.
My Georgia can do a max of 20k damage per shell. Its insane 😂
Last week I got kicked out of a game. Checked wifi, was 100%. Phone said wifi was good. GG
