Hey Derka, I was having a really rough go of it a while back and really struggling to find the courage to be turn on UA-cam and trust a channel again. I thought a trip to Arby's might give me some courage, but no dice. Then, I hit Popeye's, Del Taco. 14,000 calories later, I found myself down at Subway... powering through a 12 inch veggie on whole wheat babbling to a cut-out of Jared. Still didn't give me the strength to turn that thing on. I'm a coward. Then i found Derka Games and everything changed. Thank you, Derka.
I’d agree and say that one of the best things about Alaska is it’s flexibility in a battle. You need to brawl? Your armor and hard to hit citadel shine. Need to snipe? Your guns are pretty accurate due to cruiser dispersion. Need to spot DDs? Radar and hydro are available. You can always make yourself useful in any situation.
Thanks Derka. Alaska was also my 1st Bureau boat. She's still a hammer for me. I've got my Scott at 16/4 with Von Essien and Von Muller as inspirations. Have really been liking Von Essien since I usually stick with ap, situation appropriate of course.
Finaly an alaska video thank you Derka I wah really struggling without alaska this video definietly helped me a lot alaska is still a monster I m half that alaska was my first legendary ship
Alaska is still good even after the nerfs, back when it was buffed oh boi the absolute powerhouse it was, how much i played her at that time xD And it was the last ship i played back in january, agile Alaska to be precise, funniest time i had in the game for while 🤣
I just got the Alaska, making her my first ever beaurau project ship, and I really do like her alot. I'm a BB main, so she doesn't really feel all that different than the ships I'm used to sailing
I play her like a battleship but I don't sit 20 km back also I run baltimore on her because I like the rudder shift with Norman Scott and Yamamoto. I know another of people don't run baltimore but you can try if you want
Hi Derka What commander do recommend for your Alaska builds? Beaply , Norman Scott or Einstein? I normally use Beaply on every USA 🇺🇸 crusier except for Des Moines I use Scott. Haven’t ranked up Einstein high enough yet but heard he is good for turret traverse and agile builds. I have heard the Alaska bow is designed to park hard up to islands cause it’s got a shallow bow nose hull. Love the AP penetration power on the Alaska. It’s been a bit neglected recently been playing the Baltimore more.
Ran into you in a game last night! You were in Wichita CE and I was in my Kaga. The game was pretty close and I survived with 154 hp. If I died you guys would have won lol
Yeah I was annoyed 🙄 only game I lost last night so I remember it well 🙈 but really WP to you and your Wichita! You were up there on the boards for your team. GG
Towards the end, you backed up to take on the Marco Polo from the front, along with your Yamato. Instinctively, I would have continued around her to get behind. What was your thinking here? I know the other team’s Yamato was lurking over to your left. Thanks, Captain 🫡
To save my Yamato was the number 1 reason. Either to give him WtR or make myself an appetizing target and tank some damage for him. But also, because if I sailed around behind the Marco, he could throw it in full ahead and run. Chasing a kiting Battleship is a long drawn out process
L dont think i have played her again after the LT arenas way back when, except when she was needsd for a bureau. I tend to focus on newer ships. She was my 1st LT, so i used her a lot and i really liked her. The Marlborough player should know better. GG. Almost entering the final four segments of Napoli, so i will how she fares, in a month.
Alaska is still a great all round super cruiser. Got the holy trinity of great firepower, mobility and armor as well as utility as a bonus. Still think that Yoshino is more powerful at the moment in terms of raw damage potential. Alaska can possibly stand its ground better, however.
I think you should try out Kronshtadt I personally love her, I’d say she is one of my favorite ships. Here’s the build I use for her Aiming systems Damage control Concealment mod Gun Fire control system Kuznetsov w/ Beyond range Intuitive The third increases Penetration and Damage don’t remember the name Fixated And Refill station Hope you try her out! Her shells still go everywhere sometimes but give her a chance to shine.
I run mine with rudder instead of concealment and prop mod. 6.3 rudder and great acceleration. She does have 12.7 concealment but who are we kidding, Alaska is a BB. *You do not want to lose punch through and dispersion buff with Alaska, imo. It takes the guns from good to great.
@@DerkaGames Her reload is always going to limit her in DD hunting, in my opinion. I'd rather hunt cruisers and broadsides! *Although she is one of the few cruisers that does well against Khaba. Agree to disagree :)
@Derka Games HI friend, can you help on this one please, I need to know how to find the official elite xp spreadsheet of the ships currently in the game, I have almost 2 million elite xp on Yamato and I wish to compare it with others
Yeah, it is a bit op. I was recently in a 1 v 2 with a Pommern and a Des Moines, and ended up sinking both. Bow tanking in an Alaska nearly seems cruel to the red team 😆

You're not a coward...you're a visionary!!!!!
After getting the Großer Kurfürst, I am considering to start getting the Alaska.
@@gabrielgaitan4856 tons of choices now in the bureau, makes it tough to decide

Spot on =)
That poor British battleship...one minute it was the Marlborough...and the next minute it became the Edmund Fitzgerald....
😅
The amount of people that don't know how to play marlborough properly is shocking!😂
@@Aaron-cb2dd
That's a Tier VIII battleship that I do not have yet. I only recently acquired the Alsace which I like very much.
Thanks Derka. Alaska was also my 1st Bureau boat. She's still a hammer for me.
I've got my Scott at 16/4 with Von Essien and Von Muller as inspirations. Have really been liking Von Essien since I usually stick with ap, situation appropriate of course.
Sounds like a solid build! I need to test Essen more
@@DerkaGames I was really happy and a little surprised to see a difference with him. I need to upgrade him more. Only have him at 14/1 right now.
I really like Alaska with Kinkaid, it's one of the most enjoyable ways to play LT I think. Can't wait to unlock Napoli.
Napoli is a beast!
Finaly an alaska video thank you Derka I wah really struggling without alaska this video definietly helped me a lot alaska is still a monster I m half that alaska was my first legendary ship
Hey hope it helps!
Great video. 👍🙂👍 I have not finished researching the Alaska. I keep pausing for other Bureau projects. 🙂
She's fun but yeah there are a lot of other shinier ships
Alaska is still good even after the nerfs, back when it was buffed oh boi the absolute powerhouse it was, how much i played her at that time xD
And it was the last ship i played back in january, agile Alaska to be precise, funniest time i had in the game for while 🤣
Agile Alaska OOF haha. Talk about a pain in the a** to deal with!
Honestly I use Norman Scott on Alaska an don’t mind the floating shells. That ap slaps others cruisers an the he with radar is great for the dds
I’m 2 weeks out from getting her, really excited for Alaska!
Nice! Enjoy man
I just got the Alaska, making her my first ever beaurau project ship, and I really do like her alot. I'm a BB main, so she doesn't really feel all that different than the ships I'm used to sailing
I play her like a battleship but I don't sit 20 km back also I run baltimore on her because I like the rudder shift with Norman Scott and Yamamoto. I know another of people don't run baltimore but you can try if you want
I still love the Alaska, but I haven't played it much lately. GG'S Derka
Yeah I've neglected her a bit, she's still fun tho!
Feels great to see an LT player with a brain, a Yamato at that, GG Ryzzik and Derka!!!
Does anyone know Ryzzik? 🤔
@@DerkaGames nop... no idea who they are
Yes. I still love Alaska. Even play it more than Napoli. Alska's still very efficient.
Hi Derka

@@DerkaGames gg!You played very well. I don’t know what your carrier was doing tho :/ I had just got done watching your Kaga video too lol
@@clainmings7052 lets just say not all carrier players are as good as you 😆 thanks, have a good one
@@DerkaGames thanks! Maybe we will meet again 😃
Hey derka are can you do a new review on the best T7 premium ship please? Or can you please work on the Nelson? You are the best CC ever man!
Towards the end, you backed up to take on the Marco Polo from the front, along with your Yamato. Instinctively, I would have continued around her to get behind. What was your thinking here? I know the other team’s Yamato was lurking over to your left. Thanks, Captain 🫡

@@DerkaGames Lessons learned, Captain. Yes, I was trying to chase, unsuccessfully, an AL New Jersey this morning. Didn’t end well. Thank you! 🫡
Nice battle have a great night 🙋👻
🙏

You'll love the Napoli!!
@@DerkaGames from what i have seen of her, i definitly will.

I think you should try out Kronshtadt I personally love her, I’d say she is one of my favorite ships.
Here’s the build I use for her
Aiming systems
Damage control
Concealment mod
Gun Fire control system
Kuznetsov w/
Beyond range
Intuitive
The third increases Penetration and Damage don’t remember the name
Fixated
And Refill station
Hope you try her out! Her shells still go everywhere sometimes but give her a chance to shine.
Its called Punch through 😀
Yeah I like Kronshtadt, wonky dispersion but fun. With Ivan. B as a commander she's very good
Gotta say she’s one of my favorite ships
@@alaska6120 i like her as well! She gets lots of hate
how you casually gonna keep this gem hidden from us like that
Forgot about it tbh 👨🦳
I run mine with rudder instead of concealment and prop mod. 6.3 rudder and great acceleration. She does have 12.7 concealment but who are we kidding, Alaska is a BB. *You do not want to lose punch through and dispersion buff with Alaska, imo. It takes the guns from good to great.
Losing Fixated and punch through does suck, ngl.
But the insane concealment plus RPF is saucy. End game....DDs literally cannot hide, lots of fun!
@@DerkaGames Her reload is always going to limit her in DD hunting, in my opinion. I'd rather hunt cruisers and broadsides! *Although she is one of the few cruisers that does well against Khaba. Agree to disagree :)
@Derka Games
HI friend, can you help on this one please, I need to know how to find the official elite xp spreadsheet of the ships currently in the game, I have almost 2 million elite xp on Yamato and I wish to compare it with others
Great game
Thanks!
We have to include the agir now 😂
Those 7 citadels😂
😬
Lmao it felt good ngl
Smoked it like a Marlboro 😂
😄😄😄
Nice with some fresh reviews with the 2023 meta, no point watching a 1 year old review :)
😀
I feel like the Alaska is way pp its a Small bb
Yeah, it is a bit op. I was recently in a 1 v 2 with a Pommern and a Des Moines, and ended up sinking both. Bow tanking in an Alaska nearly seems cruel to the red team 😆
@@jonathantow6888 i love pommern
Kincaid's the "other guy" Even if I had Stalingrad, I would prefer Alaska. Call it my Yankee bias, I don't care. Alaska is still very powerful.
Yeah spaced on his name 😆
I like to use Kincaid on my Des Moine. Wish I had Einstein.
I Can Kill an Alaska in 2 Salvos.
