Lattice mast. I try to like and comment for metrics. I can’t share, I have no one to share to but I sing your praises in game. I usually try to have something actual to say… this time I did not. All I had was “Lattice mast” and this here filler lol If you couldn’t tell, absolute huge fan of your work. Your videos helped me the most with growing as a player. Yeahbouy, DFA, Jageroo are all top notch contributors as well however your videos are the ones I watch the most.
Thanks. Again Terry! I really want this ship, as I live in Arkansas. I just don’t know how to get it! I’ve only seen it in reward crates for mission completion levels, and haven’t been lucky enough. Having faced it several times in Orion, it seems to land more shots than the Wyoming. Anyway, great review!
I think the mission reward crates might be the only way to get her atm. I've had this ship for so long, I can't remember where I got her. But definitely an interesting history!
Hi Terry, just wanna say you've done an excellent job once again! Anyways, I was just hoping you'd do a "Alcohol made me do it" high tier IJN CV edition, 'cause well I just love seeing you have that kind of fun :>>>
Arkansas is one of my favorite tier 4 bb’s along with the Kaiser and Nikolai! Although I do wish that she was in her WW2 configuration, being that the Wyoming already has the identical WW1 configuration. She should be like the Texas which is not in her original configuration like her tech tree sister. She has good AA defenses, better Torpedo protection, and a higher top speed, and really Arkansas should be the same being that she is a premium.
Nikolai was in a Blitz Pass quite a while back, I think. Fun little ship. Premiums here aren't always better than their tech tree compatriots. There are some truly dreadful premiums out there as well, like the Krasny Krym or the Katori.
One of my first premiums and one of my favorite ships for warming up. Its deficiencies compared to the Wyoming can make the difference in truly close games but are generally not severe enough to matter, in my opinion (326 hp is two or three half-penning destroyer HE rounds, the Wyoming's AA is functionally useless, and the 1/3 second difference in turn time is negligible--although I admit that the Arkansas' acceleration is substantially worse); I greatly prefer having the extra secondaries on the Arkansas, which can wreck unsuspecting destroyers and even help against battleships and cruisers at close range.
It doesn't make a huge difference in practice. I'm just mentioning it, since a lot of people expect premium ships to be more powerful by default - since that's how a lot of games work. Not always the case here.
The Arkansas River flows through Kansas on its way to Arkansas. Locals in Kansas call it the R- Kansas River, then in Arkansas the pronunciation changes to Are-can-saw River. Odd thing.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I picture meadows and green hills with a countryside… Even t4 players in the ‘special’ category wouldn’t manage to get that done… They will get the bb braced on top of the rocky islands however ;)
Ah yes, the Arkansas one of those ships that are slow as a heck and punch like a truck, when I get bored or frustrated from high tier or if I need some citadels I go clap some broadside cruisers, definitely a ship that goes in my „fun list“
@@stevenmoore4612 when she was just introduced to the game in 2019 she was ridiculously OP, but still you have to be a skilled BB player to do that. I believe it is Yeahbuoy who did it
Ah really? I read somewhere that they put some AA onto a cross bridge, thought that was the one. Did look like a rather exposed position, but searchlights make more sense, actually.
Its same as texas, you get same for free if need be Got arki from mission crate and was surprised by the gun performance, it is good.. better then the tech tree shotguns as far as i remember 😂

Yes got it from mission crate couple months ago, sometimes as lower reward in event

I might try that at some point

Do you have the Emperator Nicolai II? the Russian t4 premium bb.
Yes I do have her. She is a pretty good battleship!
Nikolai was in a Blitz Pass quite a while back, I think. Fun little ship.

@@FunandGameswithTerry Good point. Thanks again for your in-depth analysis and reference to history, as always :-)
Same here... I will use her almost every day i play as a first round/seal clubbing/warm-up!!!

15:35 “the battleships are cruising around in the countryside would be highly unlikely…” even for tier 4 ;)
T4 players are a never-ending source of ingenious ideas of how to sail into the next map.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I picture meadows and green hills with a countryside…

The global damage record for Arkansas is 112k damage if I remember correctly… which is massive damage for a t4 battleship
Yeah for a tier IV battleship that is an almost unheard of record! They must’ve sank every ship on the enemy team and took almost all the hit points!
@@stevenmoore4612 when she was just introduced to the game in 2019 she was ridiculously OP, but still you have to be a skilled BB player to do that. I believe it is Yeahbuoy who did it
@@Vrunck Yeah my personal record in Arkansas is 66k! So 112k is a monstrous amount damage for an Arkansas!
cue "that's a lot of damage" meme...
@@FunandGameswithTerry lol 😂
Seriously , this ship is better than Wyoming ( or the same , whatever ) , and I got her in the 150 tokens Mission Create ! Lucky me !
Hi Terry another great video thank you ,
Have you made a video about the Irian their 8 pan Asian cruiser ?
I somehow missed that one. It's basically a Kutuzov with deepwater torps AFAIR, but I'll try to catch that still.
@@FunandGameswithTerry thank you. I look forward to many more videos and will investigate this ship a little further
What you took for AA are searchlights on platforms.💡👍
Ah really? I read somewhere that they put some AA onto a cross bridge, thought that was the one. Did look like a rather exposed position, but searchlights make more sense, actually.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I think those towers were the basis for enlarged platforms later on that probably hosted AA.👍
Its same as texas, you get same for free if need be
Got arki from mission crate and was surprised by the gun performance, it is good.. better then the tech tree shotguns as far as i remember 😂
I've have a trial for next week to see which works better :) It's been so long that I've played Wyoming, I can't remember for the life of me.
@@FunandGameswithTerry i need to get Campbeltown back sold it at some point but its great fun with smoke in lowtiers 😂
Yep, that can surprise some people
It's called a cage mast
I left wows blitz
BUT THERE IS NO ESCAPING TERRY!!!
Anyways, I never could obtain Arkansas.
I've got some non-Blitz content on the channel as well ;)
I like cheese
So do I, in fact.
