I do very much want to see PQ have to play the Elbing, but more aggressively and with more of a reliance on AP than in the one-take.
yeah thats kind of the best playstyle for Elbing. Its a cruiser without a citadel
sorry @PQ, the people have spoken!
lelbonk
he cannot escape the elbonk
PQ you did this to yourself!
I was dying inside that he wasn’t utilizing the AP very much. That’s what both German destroyers love to use. The HE is used against the tough angled targets. Otherwise the AP is the normal shell used most of the time. It can really slap.
Scrolled down for this, and I'm glad a few people pointed it out. It's not uncommon to do like 4-5k per salvo using the AP, which adds up pretty fast. The HE on the other hand is barely mediocre as far as damage output. The 32mm pen is helpful against angled targets but it's definitely not the preferred ammo for the German DDs.
Especially against a dd with wide hull like halland and daring. Halland is so wide that most dds could arm their AP shells on it with slight angles.
Z52 ap is actually garbage aside from the alpha
@@hagostaeldmann The thing with Z-52 AP is that HE is even worse. The HE raw damage is so atrocious that when the enemy dd becomes saturated and HE does 1/6 damage, the effective HE dpm is ~28000 while AP overpen dpm is ~36000 - you do more damage with pure overpens. You should definitely proc expert loader and try to find opportunities for using APs more often.
My trick is to run with HE loaded, spot enemy DD, shoot HE 1 or 2 times hit 2 to switch to AP. MOST DD turn broadside in engagements for either full gun access or torps with AP you can erase DD's pretty efficiently.
that montana 1 shot enemy cv, wow! 15:25
i did that a few days ago in a kremlin, felt amazing i was likea doctor removing cancer from a patient
I think PQ doing a really low tier ship like Dreadnought would be great.
The AP has short fuses enough to full pen DD's but getting it to arm on 19mm plating is inconsistent, which is why most DD's with 127mm guns or higher, and without special AP, typically shoot HE at other DD's. Z is like the Hindenburg, not the best at anything but comfortable to play. Its just older and power creep has put more radar and other nonsense into the game making it feel worse than it is. Plus the unique upgrade makes it a really fun torp boat with how fast they reload and especially how stealthy the torps are.
It's standard DD fuze time (.010s), not short fuze. DD AP fuze is standard .010s until you get to the bigger gun dds (and weirdly Marceau at the top of the list with .030s fuze.... maybe that's where those odd cruiser citadels come from). The only 'short fuze AP DD is Druid with .005s.
Z-52 does not have short enough fuse times to full pen broadside DDs as it has the regular AP fuse time. Enemy DDs need to angle enough, but not past the ricochet angles, to take full pens, hence the inconsistencies.
torp range hurts it these days with so much radar
Love how the allied Hindenburg is back in D9 investigating mating habits of seals on a remote island 13:00 to 15:30 while all the enemies are well away.
Ship request: Release the Tiger 59, show how underappreciated this awesome little ship is
Not sure if being sarcastic or not ^^
I actually do like her. 150 battles @ 65% WR, she can work. But most people just look at her and say crap. I do think otherwise.
I second the tiger 59 video
@@mathiasschon5113I guess it suits you in some weird ways. Have you seen Yuro's take on it? Published 3 months ago.
Can you do a review on Iowa? It is pretty much the standard battleship. I wonder how she holds up in the supership era.
I am grinding to Montana and just got the Iowa and have been doing horribly so far haha.
I recently unlocked the Montana and I can tell you this: Iowa is a solid tier 9 ship.
Because like Montana, Iowa is a jack of all trades kinda ship: mistress of none, but a expert at everything. She can adapt quite well where most BB are situational dependent. You need to fire from long range? She got the guns. Need to brawl? She can fight. Provide AA cover? She'll shoot those planes down. The AP is slow yes but if they connect they hit hard!
My pro tip is to have Halsey as her captain which will make Iowa even stronger, than first you wanna get between middle where you can catch the broadsides of enemy ships. And I said she can brawl yes, but remember her citadel is vulnerable (not as much as Japanese or russian BB but still)
And the neat thing is that you can do the same with Montana who is simply said a Iowa, slightly slower but with more firepower and believe me... she's a beast you shouldn't underestimate
PQ, you really should maybe press 2 once or twice. The AP is like the only viable ammo type most of the time be used in Z52
Yeah idk why pq dogs on ships without using their ap to the fullest extent
Z-52 is such a beautiful ship... in port.
I'd like to request you to play the Paolo Emilio
0:27 "i would rather not play elbing"
ELBING ELBING ELBING ELBING ELBING ELBING!!!!!
You should definetly use more ap in this thing.
Great videos !! U turned into my Nr1 WoWs youtuber to look up ships and how to plqy them etc !! Keep rocking
Your biggest mistake is not using AP even against DDs. Z-52 uses HE just against angled targets, otherwise AP all the time.
Z-52 AP does not arm on 19mm DD armor. You'll end up with overpens.
@@dafencjuszonly if they are flat broadside to you, but most of the time that will not be the case and you will end up with 3-4 k salvos compared with at most 2 k HE salvos all the time.
Yeah dont mind me, where atago?
Yea, Atago would be amazing.
@@sikoetu5349 ara ara
"He does exactly what i do
But better"
Thats probably the best take on Z52 when daring exists...or Vampire 2.
They both are far better gun wise with their HE and even AP, having improved pen angles.
The only thing Z52 has going for it is the longer range hydro, but it lacks the DPM to kill the targets you spot with it, unlike the other 2 ships. Its just such a niche ship that requires somewhat stupid enemies and perfect situations to work, while Daring can deal with literally anything and Vampire 2 is almost the same.
Z-52 is much better offensively than Daring and Vampire. It has better shell flight times and better speed/acceleration to afford chasing, but in general chasing in a dd is a bad idea. Not to mention the lack of a heal, nullifying this advantage. This makes Dring and Vampire just straight up better.
Love to see you play the Siliwangi, I have it and don't have a clue what I'm doing with it.
Yamato full secondary full send.
Vauquelin please, I’m on the struggle bus on these mid tier French DD’s. Need a pro
Nice, I wanted to see this one
Ship request: IX Santander
I’ve seen you play the other pan American cruisers before but not the Santander. It’s a fun line and I want to see what you’ll do with it
I've never played this game in my life but can't stop watching your videos lol
Regolo would also be fun to see. Been having a lot of fun with it lately
As already suggested a couple of times: I'd love to see you play the Neustrashimy.
Hey, PQ love the great work that you are doing! I would like to see the Z-42 please? Thank you!
Bismarck with Gunther Lutjens please
Lets see the Mutsuki! Miserable T5 Japanese torp boat with just 2 guns!
Could you try Boodino again?
Got it in a supercontainer, and not sure what to do with it.
ship request: Moskva. insane sniper capabilities but ranked one of the worst performing t10 cruisers amongst the playerbase. purple pr even on losses :P
Yes, because the majority of the player base unfortunately has not yet understood that giving broadside = bad. When you have a player on Moskva who knows how to position and use the armour effectively, it's one of the hardest to remove cruisers in the game. Guns work against all targets, AP smashes at all ranges, it's a great ship overall imo. Personally, I have 100 games played, 62% winrate, 100k average damage. I think of the tier 10 cruisers I own I only prefer the DM over the Moskva.
nevsky can do it all (but dont tell anyone)@@lidlpotato2047
Should try out UU torpedoe Z52, almost a different ship but works much better.
You know, when I think about the fact that I have ships in my port like Marceau, Sherman, Kleber, which have 10x this things power level imo, I really dont see a good reason to play Z-52. The 6km hydro is nice but there's really nothing else this ship does well besides that. Mediocre guns, mediocre torpedos, bad smoke, meh maneuverability, etc.
I run the z as a sub hunter works pretty well
You should definitely be using more AP with Z-52. For example that Halland in the first game would have melted a lot faster when he was showing broadside. The overpens do more damage than HE pens on saturated parts, and even getting a full AP pen instead of overpen with just one out of 4 shells already brings you to the same damage output as HE on unsaturated parts. If the target is just slightly angled, you actually get pretty consistent AP pens as the 19 mm standard DD plating becomes 21 mm or more effective thickness, which is required to arm your fuses.
Would love to see the freedom sedan, AKA battleship Texas
z52 used to be my favourite dd, using the AP more would probably have helped. All the radar makes life hard these days but it's still nice when you get an ambush right :-)!
There is and there will be only one true shiprequest!
MIKASA 😂
I would love to see the Champagne please. Thank you
Hello, about playing the Main, Montana super ship.
I can't get that dpm mod to display. Got it in the right place. Got it from the forums first before seeing thewy were dead so the joined on discord and got it from there, still don't work. :~( nvm
Bosie that ship is a beast! or toulon also amazing!
PQ; I wonder if you've used the Halland legmod? I have seen CC after CC talk down on it. I use it, and find it very much worth the slot. For the way the Halland plays, the extra healing just allows you so much flexibility, because you actually DO gain significantly (not hugely, significantly...the word choice matters) more health per heal, and you get an extra. What this means is that you can pick those early fights where you have to give up some health vs an enemy DD without heals...then disengage and come back in, over and over through the course of the battle...and end with a greater amount of health for the late game engagements. The speed boost buff isn't huge, but not nothing...but honestly...that healing...on paper with the way heals actually work...yeah...it seems like a bad bargain. In practice...well...it just works. I'd love to see you, if you haven't, try it with that in mind and see what you think. :) Normally, in the 6 slot before the legmod was a thing, Halland being, for me, a torp boat, I'd use the torp reload mod...and get another 13 seconds faster torp reload, and lose tubes more often to incap. The key to making it work is one I think you, having seen the way you play the ship, possess. That is, patience, picking engagements smartly, and keeping an eye towards being healthy in late game. For me, well...I've been playing the game since the beginning of closed beta, and I have 2k games in Halland...but...I'm older, my hand-eye and reactions are not what they were, and I get too aggressive and tunnel-visioned in the heat of the moment...and it STILL lets me get away with all that a lot of the time. For you...well...it's just a matter of taking the strengths you and the Halland bring to the table, and reinforcing those to greater effect :)
i'd love to see some radar yueyang game. it sounds fun
I like the UI .What one is it?
Random question but can anyone explain how to play British DD? I struggle with that line so far
3 years ago it was you and or Notser that taught me how to Pan Euro, I ran with it! Oland 3,000+ games (my favorite to play). Östergötland however is now very power crept! I dare you!!!!!
If you really want to feel power creep play Pan Euro Vasteras bottom tiered in a CV match against Le-Fantastic and other gun boat DDs "OUCH".
Oland however got a main gun firing buff which in turn increased its AA flak. It can now gun same as a Benson (in using a heal during the fight) and use its long torps to counter Radar ships and campers and it's maneuverable enough to dodge both incoming shells and AA attacks at the same time. You may want to try Oland again too, "the kite fighting king", I'll take on "any capital ship" kite fighting! Insofar as AA attacks it's the king because of its combination of strong AA and its dodginess! Just dodge is viable "with its strong AA" as a preventor of him spending time within my AA aura to outmaneuver me to his advantage. Dude... I win the AA fight! "Can't touch this". The AA countering rules have changed but I've figured it out "in Oland", all other DDs suck.
Yes I just stated that Oland is the best DD to counter AA attacks. Halland lacks maneuverability, In open water CVs kick its ass. "Max AA" Oland is free to go wherever it pleases.
Thank You for your prior (and current) teachings.
Can I request for USS Cleveland? I can't seem to find the ship in your videos...
I would like to see you play Izumo for reference......I suck with it
I very much want to sea (ha ha dad joke) PQ play one of the mid-tier French Ca's like the Algerie which is my favorite ship in the whole line.
love your vids PQ keep it up.
orkhan lets gooo!
Z52 is a better ship playing in div. Solo random, you see the limitation but I still like this boat
Marlborough please.
If you could give z52 one buff, what would it be?
Maybe the Kiev or Udaloi next?
Udaloi would be the better farming experience...
Udaloi was really good until they nerfed its concealment
The Z was my first T10. I always enjoyed her.... but I hardly play her. I get clobbered with all the radar and when I play cautiously until I know where the radar boats are I get accosted by my team for not capping with smoke and hydro... sheesh..... no one is ever happy. Yeah... power-crept for sure.
ELBONG
we are the SMAAPWWTSPQPTE, Society for Mutual Aid Among People Who Want to See PQ Play The Elbong
Grozovoi? It will likely be my first or second tier x (I just love the ognevoi too much)
ognevoi is very underrated
Yes, Elbing please PQ
Marlborough, please. I just want want to see the British shotgun.
Maybe the Atlanta this time?
Thanks for the vid, Would you please explain which mod you use? I like how you setup your game, a tutorial would be excellent! Thanks!
How about the Nelson? :)
Ship request: any radar cruiser. I'm just curious how you make effective use of the consumable in today's more passive meta, with dd's reluctant to go for caps, carriers, and superships deleting you from the 10 line.
Imho RDF Radio location is a must. Its beyond me how people can play DDs and cruisers without.
Sevastopol anyone?
can you play kitakami?
Maybe Hayate next I enjoy playing hybrid DD like her.
Elbong !!!
Ship Request: Marlborough. We are seeing some lower caliber Tx BBs done well. So lets see how PQ can make a bad T9 work.
Borodino t8 next?
Sham to say this will be the last vid i watch on yt untill they fix the no add blocker pop up, hope you dont lose to many more views because of it, just dont need to be closing a pop up before each vid play's, hope i'll be back soon and happy sailing 07
Play the Wickes please.
Ship request: Gato. Become the thing you hate lol
I'm, forced to play the z-52 in ranked. It's very frustrating. My other option in ranked is the Yammy,, also very frustrating.
Any cv?
15 miles to the Loooove Shack!! Love Shack! Baby, love sha.......... wait. That's B-52s.....
Harugumeme
SECONDARY build Colombo
Zed 52 baby, Zed 52.
need somemore 300K illinois games
PQ you haven't done video on Henry in ages plss make one :(🙏
PQ, you really should use the AP. The HE is so bad I bearly use it in Z52
Guisippe Verde
Lets see Shikishima
Give us the Erie! T1!
Vamp 2 and forest Sherman are the basically the same ship but much better. The z42 is just the same ship but better. 52 is fun but needs serious help.
Cossack plz.
Atago please!
Krasny Kyrm please
This ship sacrifices too much for having the Hydro. It made sense back when that was unique on DDs. But since Daring exists Z-52 has just no place anymore.
minotaur :D
Z52 either needs a heal or improved pen angles or better torps...or something
play orkan or any dd with secondaries and run full secondary build in it
What dds have them? Curious noob here
Z52 was my crush, now Z42 is my wife.
Do Kagerö plz
Monoghan
Cossack
Your Gdańsk pronunciation is pretty much on point, always a surprise from an anglo. 🙂
How about Shikishima secondary mod?
I'd love to see U play Khaba. It really lacks attention recently IMO. Peace
