I've found KGV to be tailor made for mid-close range brawling and Madden is a perfect fit. KGV's strengths are in its relatively fast reload speed and its hidden perk of healing medium damage as well as the typical light damage. Madden's base trait plus Brawler maximizes the reload speed and close range target aquisition/tracking while Master Mechanic will have you shrugging off any damage but a citadel. The weaknesses of KGV are its low gun caliber and flat, easily penetrated deck armor. At range your effectiveness is limited and your vulnerability to citadels is increased significantly, so closing the distance not only maximizes the ships strengths but minimizes its weaknesses
British BBs like the Germans are built for mid to close range KGV having phenomenal HE just means it can trade effectively at range until is closes the gap to its superior medium range brawler area
Fun fact when the kgv was being developed there were treaty restrictions they could only mount 14” guns on her but half way thought there building the treaty restrictions were altered allowing countries to put bigger guns on there ships so people wanted to put 15” guns on the kgv class instead but it was determined that it would take up to a year to get the guns made and that would be a long time since they had another battleship so they went with the 14” guns they could easily produce, but fears that they would be under powered and after some test the British gov packed the ap shells with tnt which intern made the shells weigh more then the super heavy America ap for there 16” guns
By far my favorite bb so far king george one good salvo of HE deletes destroyers and melts bb at range and i have got citadel hits on light cruisers with those HE. GG spartan.
The HE can do 10k+ with just the bow guns Light a fire basically every salvo and has zero concerns about target type or angle of impact It's one of the few BBs were there is little reason to use AP Short of switching after lighting ²-3 fires or for broadside cruisers you could citadel and 1shot the HE just works better
Working on getting the queen I'm just a little away then the king time , but as long as I have my American ship you'll hear happy blade noises . good video sir!
Its pound for pound the best tier 6 BB Because of accuracy and great HE with short fuse AP its deadly to BBs and CAs at near max range And it has awesome belt armor with good rof and reasonable turret traverse No other tier 6 BB wants to 1v1 a KGV on here It can outrun or outgun all of its direct competitors with smaller more accurate more useable guns For reference I have all T6 BBs excluding France due to bad luck in early access That being said KGV and Vanguard were my first console T6&7
Totally agree it is my favorite ship in the game and the only battleship that I have never sold or will never sell for the simple reason that a battleship of the Iron duke class or similar belonged to my country (Chile🇨🇱) the battleship Latorre that yes Well, it is not the same type of ship in specific, they are almost the same aesthetically with very few statistical differences and literally only have one year difference in launch except that my country in an arms race those years ordered a larger caliber than the Iron duke class being Its biggest difference from its contemporary British counterpart also the fact that excites me the most is that the British commissioned it before handing it over to my country in WW1 at the Battle of Jutland as HMS Canada and after the war in 1920 in compensation for the loan the British made the good gesture of fully modernizing it to its current battleship standards by adding a larger bulgue air catapult and an improved AA. Originally the Latorre and the Cochrane were to be twins but Chile gave up and Instead, with the money, they decided to buy 3 destroyers and 3 submarines, which was a very smart decision from an economic point of view that it is very expensive even in those times to maintain a battleship and especially because it served in my country until well into the 50s where it was finally scrapped and its parts sold and still part of it survives in the last British pre-dreadnought the Mikasa of the Japanese navy and its propeller and main battery survive as a coastal battery in the Strait of Magellan and in the Beagle Channel unfortunately for our Argentine "friends" ... XD
The KGV is hilariously trolly... had matches with double digit fires started. Also shamelessly added Du Fournet as the 2nd inspiration on Cunningham to increase the HE damage, soooooo much fun, lol
I only use AP I find I can still pen any ship at my tier and above and do a large portion of their health in damage and I also use Cunningham with an inspiration of one of the Americans that gives more health that helps a lot going against a t7 battleship
The other thing that needs to be mentioned (if it wasn't in the video or comments section) is that British dispersion/accuracy is arguably the best which means more of those HE shells are going to land which is also great for DD's and CLs/CAs as you have 10 guns. I'm playing the US line of BBs and I find it infuriating how bad their vertical dispersion is with the New Mexico and Colorado.
I just got this ship yesterday I went on to play with it but man that ship is a fire magnet I got set on fire so many time and those fire really do damage to me i don't know i think i need to keep thinking in a way of using it more efficiently
Don't know why so many bemoan British battleships. I love 'em. The Queen is my go to girl. Wasn't thrilled about KGV until I got it. Great ship! The HE is very good, but I mostly fire AP in my battleships.
Honestly I performed great in the KGV 90k + dmg games were normal for me but I can barely get a good game in the Vanguard it honestly makes me regret the line. Now I havent played it since it got the buffs but I prefer it over the Vanguard.
The KGV should be tier 8. Those guns were superior in every way to the 15' guns on the Queen Elizabeths. At the Battle of the Denmark Strait The Prince of Wales was able to get a citadel on the Bismarck
Man, what is it with "The Strait" map? First time I played it I learned my lesson quickly. Never rush through the straits. Lately, it seems like this map hist creates a Mexcican standoff between both teams.. That is unless there are new players and decide to rush through the straits... haha
Might just have to buy that next still a little hesitant on it, you played it the way I figured people should instead of HE spam the whole time, if you like the queen Elizabeth check a Xbox msg I sent you of a really nice game in that boat 😉 best one I've ever had in it 😊
I hate when I see my teammates in a Queen Elizabeth firing HE! She has the best guns for her tier, don't waste them. I used to say something but I don't anymore because I know what they will say...."British battleships have to fire HE." NO, NO THEY DON'T!
I like you and I liked your channel back when you played WoT. I know why you’ve changed your content (I watched that video) but I’m not interested in what you’re doing now at all. The last tank vid you did made me think maybe you were going to go with a more balanced approach but I guess I was wrong. I’m unsubscribing only because I’m not interested in your content any more at all. I wish you the best and good luck going forward.
Sorry to hear that but I just do not have time to keep up on WoT developments and people dont really watch the community replays much anymore. I understand completely and wish you the best
Queen Elizabeth: 15 in.
KGV: 14 in.
The B turret has 2 guns.
15 inch are 381mm
14 are 356mm like New Mexico, Arizona, Fuso etc.
@@johndiebold4587 i just use the measurement in inches since a lot of the guns are 5,6,8,11,12,14,15, or 16 inch guns. Easier to remember for me.

This was very useful information,I thank you.
The King George V is turning into my most played ship almost surpass my play time in my Amagi, I really like to set ships on fire XD.
Nice
YupPotatoTeam i hate you
It’s my most played ship simply by virtue of Vanguard taking way to fucking long to grind for
Do you know how long it will take for me a new player to get from tier 1 to get to play The King George V Battleships?
@@altiusbelowdeck4190 A long time, a few weeks or days or just a bloody month depend on how your matches go and how much time you have on your hand

Nice I'll have to do some HE experiments
The HE can do 10k+ with just the bow guns
Light a fire basically every salvo and has zero concerns about target type or angle of impact
It's one of the few BBs were there is little reason to use AP
Short of switching after lighting ²-3 fires or for broadside cruisers you could citadel and 1shot the HE just works better
Never bouncing or over-penning is great too
There's a lot of love for the KGV, Its a beauty when you get used to it. Great vid as always 👍🏻
This is my go-to battleship the King George V does everything well it's not the best it's not the worst it's just a solid performer great video thanks
Working on getting the queen I'm just a little away then the king time , but as long as I have my American ship you'll hear happy blade noises . good video sir!
Lol nice! Take your time with the queen! She's a good ship and lots of fun
Its pound for pound the best tier 6 BB
Because of accuracy and great HE with short fuse AP its deadly to BBs and CAs at near max range
And it has awesome belt armor with good rof and reasonable turret traverse
No other tier 6 BB wants to 1v1 a KGV on here
It can outrun or outgun all of its direct competitors with smaller more accurate more useable guns
For reference I have all T6 BBs excluding France due to bad luck in early access
That being said KGV and Vanguard were my first console T6&7
My first T6 was Nagato, second T6 Genisenau, the KVG
Quad turrets look so damn nice.
I agree until it gets taken out
They are thicc
You continue to educate and entertain.Thank you.
Glad you enjoy
So would a Russian king George be a KGB?
Generic Person dammit I wanted to say that 😂
Lol
I love the iron duke! That things a beast if you know how to use it right and you have good commanders with the right setup.

Hi thanks for the review I made a clay model of the kgv and now I can see more detail and see it in game thanks for the review ur the best
Nice
The KGV is hilariously trolly... had matches with double digit fires started. Also shamelessly added Du Fournet as the 2nd inspiration on Cunningham to increase the HE damage, soooooo much fun, lol
Ouch I may do an HE build for lols
@@SpartanElite43 Ocean's a wee bit chilly, gotta warm up by staring bonfires on everyone's decks 🤣
by FAR my favorite BB in the tier and one of the best in the game
I only use AP I find I can still pen any ship at my tier and above and do a large portion of their health in damage and I also use Cunningham with an inspiration of one of the Americans that gives more health that helps a lot going against a t7 battleship
I'd mix in some HE too it is quite good

Nice Spartan, this and the fuso are my fave bb's.
Both good ships
FINALLY THE KING GEORGE!!!!!!!!
All good things in time
Ya i hope u make a German T3 battleship kaiser kraken vid. Just saying 😆😉
4:14 "Battleships Don't Have Torpedoes." Cof.. COF.. GNEISENAU... COF...COF...
I was referring to the battleships that were in front of me aka 2 new Mexico's and a KGV.
KGV is my favorite t6 battleship
Nice
I'm stuck on the set 9 fires in 1 game but I'm so close to the kjv.
I really like the King George V it’s my favorite of the line I call it the fire king
Apt name for sure
I call it the Kinja in true caribbean style after I read 'don't stop the carnival'.
I love the kgv. I spam he only tho and still citadel cruisers. Everything else perma burns to death.
I've yet to citadel with he
Kgv has 2 4 guns 1 front and 1 rear and a twin gun front
I just got this ship yesterday I went on to play with it but man that ship is a fire magnet I got set on fire so many time and those fire really do damage to me i don't know i think i need to keep thinking in a way of using it more efficiently
Thank you so much i cannot wait to get her im so close poi
How much EXP have you got on the Queen Elizabeth?
You'll enjoy it
Good video I just got the king George too
Lol
Lucky I am still on the duke
The Paper Master oof
Corn Meat ikr
Thanks
She's absolutely lethal once you learn how to use her. 100k almost every game with her easy.
Well you may not like it because it's a fire setting ship, but I know you like the "big booms"
I absolutely wreck enemies in this ship. I love it.
Awesome
In a match I fired my main guns at an Iowa trying to bow tank my kgv but I got 5 pens through his top deck shaving off a third of his health
Because the iowa is so long if you aim above front guns you can get pens through the Super Structure and down into the deck
Spartan Elite43 my shots went through the section in front of the first turret
Don't know why so many bemoan British battleships. I love 'em. The Queen is my go to girl. Wasn't thrilled about KGV until I got it. Great ship! The HE is very good, but I mostly fire AP in my battleships.
Tier 3 and 4 were rough but the queen was fun and so far this kgv is nice
Wonder if WOWS: Legends can get HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales?
Are they also going to add French destroyers🤔
Yes they will be coming
I like big boom's to 😂👍
You make it seem easy to play The King George V
It's an easy ship to play with that fantastic HE
I'm pleased you like her
Yeah KGV is pretty nasty when it wants to be
@@SpartanElite43 fantastic we'll make a brit out of you yet, time for a cup of tea old chap
Got my first 170,000 damage game in my Iowa today!!!!! I rushed two Colorados lol
Nice congrats
Any chance we could get an atago review or gameplay?
Mondays video
Ah yes, my favorite ship. I like it when things BURN
Pretty sure you are now on some list from the goverments
@@SpartanElite43 that's ok😂 we should party up homie.
2:02 turn that moment to subtitles !!! 😂😂😂
Spartan uploads, I like and comment
Thanks
Honestly I performed great in the KGV 90k + dmg games were normal for me but I can barely get a good game in the Vanguard it honestly makes me regret the line. Now I havent played it since it got the buffs but I prefer it over the Vanguard.
Yeah itll be a little while before I can find out
Say what about a HE build with the inspiration as the Russian commander that increases HE damage
The KGV should be tier 8.
Those guns were superior in every way to the 15' guns on the Queen Elizabeths.
At the Battle of the Denmark Strait The Prince of Wales was able to get a citadel on the Bismarck
Man, what is it with "The Strait" map? First time I played it I learned my lesson quickly. Never rush through the straits. Lately, it seems like this map hist creates a Mexcican standoff between both teams.. That is unless there are new players and decide to rush through the straits... haha

Oh nice I'll try to find it
Sweet thankyou
spartan what commander do you use for King George v
I love the KGV cause it’s much easier to engage destroyers.
2 quadruple turrets and 1 dual turret.
What upgrades do you have for the ship?
Usually aiming system, propulsion mod
@@SpartanElite43 thank you
When I get the KGV I'm gonna start playing World of Warships while Blasting Heart of Oak.
Lol
did you know that the kgv can submerge itself like a submarine
Lol
@@SpartanElite43 (look at my most recent vid and you'll know what I'm talking about)
KGV is the best Tier 6 in the game lol not lying its facts
I dont know about that both the Nagato and Colorado can punish this ship with their 16inch guns.
How the hell do you come up with the credits to buy these ships, I got to the Bismarck but I’m too damn poor to buy it ;(
I use doubloons, I dont have time to grind silver
Spartan Elite43 I see...
im trying to unlock this is it worth it?
this ship gets citadeled way to easily
It has 14 inch guns not 12 inch guns
Um that is a tier 7 bb queen eliz is the Tier 6
I cant get above 4k damage with my ap
Its low caliber means you need a flat broadside to score citadels
I went with Gneisenau instead
Irl KGV was the best armoured battleship ever after Yamato
With the highest fire chance in the entire game at 41% why the heck are you shooting AP!?
AP is usually more consistent
SPATAN GOT SOMETHING WRONG!!!! YELL AT HIM TILL HE LEAVES THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!! lol
LOL
Use HE it’s better that’s what it is meant for
I agree tier 3 is awful i sold it and turned my back on the Brits
Why do you always not follow your rounds... so annoying not seeing the hits
This ship hates me I’ve played it so many ways and nothing I’ve tried has any real impact on the fact it gets penned by literally everything
No mames wey
Idk about british ships annoying to fight against but you wont see me in one.
KG=HE
I hate this ship , the worst enemy
King George is the WORST ship in its class
No.... be truthful... he was being completely useless to his team.
I hate when I see my teammates in a Queen Elizabeth firing HE! She has the best guns for her tier, don't waste them.
I used to say something but I don't anymore because I know what they will say...."British battleships have to fire HE."
NO, NO THEY DON'T!
No
