@@shadeofheresy it just needs lower reload time than 40 seconds ( yes I know there’s a module for that ).. It still has the longest reload of any BB In the game.
It was initially difficult to deal damage with her. Long reload and sluggish nature makes it difficult to position and really deal consistent damage as the game goes on. The guns are comfortable though and the planes are a cool gimmick. I have gotten about 5 games in so far and the 5th one was a decent 130k dmg game.

If you really want to be carcinogenic, she is a disgustingy powerful firestarter. Between the 12 gun layout with decent HE and the Tiny Tims, you can force 2-3 perma fires consistently. Not the most interesting gameplay but she can do some nasty damage.

Took mine out yesterday for the first time this morning. First Salvo, 3 cits on a Missouri. Finished it off with planes and then slapped a pommern. 100k damage in the first 5 minutes. Okay Kear I see you
As someone with pretty much all the coal ships I wanted and who play a lot with North carolina, iowa and Montana, this is pretty much familiar territory and a good captain trainer/credit farmer. I don't use it's planes as much as I expected. Mostly for opportunities to finish a wounded target or support my team until I can get in attack position with the guns. If they bring back those apocalypse permanent camo back, I will definitely put one on it and make it look even more insane than it already is. Also having encountered and fought against a Kearsarge in my Alsace, it's super structures/hangar is easy to hit and farm by he shell and any battleship caliber ap which according to the wiki does not saturate.
There are several mistakes in this video. First, North Carolina has 2.0 sigma instead of 2.1, and the Kearsarge has 1.9 sigma instead of 1.7, the difference between the accuracy of their guns is not as big as you claimed in the video. The main guns of Kearsarge will even have higher accuracy than those of the North Carolina’s since it has 3 more guns, and the ability to equip artillery plotting room mod 2 which greatly improve main gun accuracy. Second, it takes Kearsarge’s 406mm AP shells 12.68 seconds to reach its default max firing range of 19.6 km, and it takes them 15.6 seconds to reach the max range of 22.7 km with artillery plotting room mod 1 equipped, not the “twenty or thirtyish seconds” you claimed. Third, the side of Kearsarge’s hanger has 19 mm of armor, as you stated in the video, but the Italian 90 mm secondary guns can only penetrate 16 mm of armor, thus they will not be able to penetrate the armor of Kearsarge’s hanger.
And that's even if Italians get that close to hit the hanger itself. That 38mm top is tough enough to resist most low-cal HE spam which is nice because it has no saturation.
I heard on Flambass' stream last night that the Russians asked the US for help designing & building a battleship for their navy. The US drew up this ship. The Russians took one look and allegedly walked out. Guy who told the story is a naval historian, so... What bothers me about the ship is that I play Co-op exclusively. on the SEA server, they rarely go longer than five minutes. That's two flights of aircraft, which is this ship's main gimmick. Not sure it's worth that much coal for Co-op players...
@@henryboleszny359 The Soviet asked for a 45k tons battleship, the Gibbs company just smash their way and designed a 72k tons battle carrier, breaking all kinds of treaty and none of the Soviet shipyard can build that so ofc they'll reject it. Remember that Kearsarge also has 12 very accurate 406mm gun that can cause some havoc.
NC has 2.0 sigma, Kearsarge has 1.9 sigma. If you are comparing their accuracy, Kearsarge is way better because she has access to -11% dispersion buff in slot 6 and she has one more turret, more shells more chance of hitting the target.
I got this ship with coal, it is a really fun hybrid ship indeed. Having a 10 point captain with conceal and main battery accuracy is critical as that ap despite it being us bb slow can still hit well. I use the rocket planes against ships like the gk and kremlin. Sometimes can work against cruisers if you time it right, they can shred the flight quickly if you don't fire the rockets fast enough.
She can't take HE damage at all, far too soft. God help you if a Thunderer catches you out with HE, two salvos and a few fires and its over in under a minute.

@@bodasactra Yeah I was thinking that must be vulnerable as hell to HE spam considering you have to be mid range at least to hit anything with the floaty guns.
I'd argue that Ise and Tone are fine. Ise's guns can hurt but they're middling at best for her tier, and Tone has a typical Japanese heavy cruiser battery but slightly worse. Their airplanes only work well if you hit almost all your torps, but even then you can't nuke anything. Kearsarge, however is a friggin Death Star.
Great vid Sea Lord. I'm tempted to get it for coal but like you said it's my first coal ship, I hope Tulsa is coming for coal. If not, then it's probably Salem for me.
Tulsa will be available for coal. I saw in one of Sealord's or Flamu's (or maybe someone else) devblog videos, but don't remember which one. Sbe would be a Des Moines at T9. Since she has thrsw lesser guns, I hope WG offsets that by giving her accurate guns. Other than that, I'm also quite hyped for Incomparable (if she is released for coal).
Thing is, though, before everyone screams "OP!!!"... SAP absolutely massacres the Kearsarge, on account of that huge infrastructure you can't possibly miss even with Colombo dispersion. It's actually a bigger unarmoured target than most actual CVs. Even a potato like me can farm it just fine. Well, actually I've been farming it with my Marco Polo, but any other SAP ship can farm it. Colombo, Lepanto, Venezia, you name it. Burns pretty nicely when I play my Conqueror too. In fact, generally, switch to HE so you don't overpen it if you don't have SAP. Or better yet, make a division with a high DPM SAP ship and a fire-starting HE ship, so one can demolish it with raw SAP damage and the other sets 4 fires on it. That way you don't have to compete for the finite number of fires.
Uhh Do you know, an angled Kearsarge at 15km is actually very hard to kill? The 38mm eat and bounce everything, and small island too. Also, at that range SAP don't have the ballistic to hit the superstructure, instead they'll go for the deck which will bounce.
just what what world of airplanes needs!!! I do wonder sometimes since warplanes was a failure if they did indeed hire or move some of those people into wows. their love of airplanes in wows is quite clear.
Artillery Plotting Room Mod1 does technically improve dispersion at lower ranges since you get a range buff, but the dispersion doesn't scale up the same with range, so it does get better a bit at lower ranges, atleast from what i've heard from a few comments.
iirc, according to Flamuu thats wrong. He said dispersion is like a cone. And that cone doesnt change so the further out you go the bigger dispersion you get
For vertical dispersion, it does actually start to get better at ranges sufficiently long for shells to plunge, which only admittedly happens to any great extent with low-velocity long-range guns in game, but these are exactly the things the Kearsage is packing. Now hoizontal dispersion is a different beast entirely. That does scale more or less linearly with range. So, you were not completely wrong at all. (Vertical dispersion is complicated, and that is one of the reaons there is no single aparameter that they show in game for it - and indeed any paramater for that matter - because it depends on the angle the shell is falling at).
@@lukeueda-sarson6732 Oooh wow i can actually see that. It goes from a ellipse (low Arc) to a circle (high Arc). To my defence, you wouldn't think of WG being smart/dedicated enough to make that difference^^ having said that, the Airplane doesnt change the Dispersion at basic range but it does on the expanded range? Hmmm well i guess it depends on how they actually do the extended range. Not much to change though, either the angle of Guns, wich can't be as they have to be at max angle for "normal max reach", or the propellant to make the Shells go faster. Are they cheesing it? :D
How does that work where you jump back to your ship before your rockets fire? If you hit 'recall' once an attack is initiated is there a delay until after the ordinance is dropped? Does it work this way for all CVs?
Am I dumb or was the plane aim at 12:30 way off and somehow you still managed to land most of your rockets? Do the plane rockets hit everything in their path if you aim a bit farther than where the enemy's position is? Is it a replay bug? Because your aim was a bit late there.
The guns are good but being able to spot anything on the map might become a quite OP part of this ship. I'm guessing thats why you only have 2 consumables.
So, this thing isn't actually entirely paper. This is a real design that an American shipbuilder put together for the Soviet Navy, which didn't have the resources to build both BBs and CVs so wanted a purpose built hybrid. The deepening tyranny of Stalin's regime and the growing threat from Hitler and Japan put paid to this idea. Personally I think the big reason she's an American ship in game and not Soviet is because WG was cognizant of the outcry of Russian bias. Even though the Soviet CVs, except Nakhimov, are honestly fairly pedestrian, and so is this ship apparently.
I don't think you understand what "paper" means. This is a paper ship - it was never laid down; it existed only in the form of plans - on paper. The Montana is a paper ship too, for that matter, of course. Unlike say the Sovetsky Soyuz, which actually was laid down, even if never completed. So that is something you can argue was "partially" paper (its final details were never realised), but this thing, this is most certainly entirely paper.
@@merafirewing6591 Mid-20th century models were entirely based on paper. Sure in the 18th century a proper "ship's model" had actual naval architectural significance, and in the late 20th century computer models were introduced that were also functionally blueprints, but this wasn't the case in the 1940s. The only models that had any real functional value were hullform models for water tank testing, but therse were entirely based off apper drawings. Montana was a paper design. No steel for her was ever laid down; she never got beyond the design stage.
@@merafirewing6591 I think you need to read what I wrote again. Of *course* there are models that have been made of the Montana - just like there are models made of *every* ship in the game of WoWs. Making a model from a set of paper documents doesn't magically make a paper design a non-paper ship, and it does not mean a ship "got past the paper design" stage. That requires some actual construction of the real thing in real metal - not the construction of a bunch of models. Again - EVERY ship in WoWs has been modelled - you can see the models in the game! If you want to consider the making a model as something different than making the design on which the model is base then then *nothing* in WoWs is a paper ship.
The Kearsarge combined the worst of both WW2 era carrier and battleship (really battlecruiser) design. In close up fighting she would be quick victim a light cruiser with 6" guns. As a carrier, she would simply not carry enough air firepower to make a difference. What a mess!
To me it's so interesting that the US designed this with Russian money. That's why it's so ugly. We just were handed money and had a cool design so we used their money🤣🤣 the Russians obviously said nevermind and the Americans agreed and boom the idea was abandoned
FOURTEEN duel purpose duel 5 inch gun, well that explains the 10 FLAK. Regardless, THIS SHIP BE UGLY! though i must admit seeing it in game its....less ugly but still makes me due a double take. Edit: A fridge? Thats a understatement, more like a Neighborhood Walmart.
As weird as this sounds this ship should probably be an HE spammer. I know it has the good American AP but being able to get perma fires with planes and 12 guns sounds pretty good
Lol who the hell does the guy who said “do not broadcast me in any way for monetary gain” in chat thinks he is? Just because he’s not making money off the game he’s trying to prevent others from doing so? Gtfo guy
Project 1058 B. What happens when the Russians and Americans try and combine a battleship and aircraft carrier fueled by vodka and russian crew having a LAN party screaming about lag by saying Cyka Blyat.
Have to agree with your conclusions on this one. It's a fun and interesting ship but it wouldn't be my first try-hard pick, and definitely not for real money. GG's by the way
Soviet battleship designed by Americans, superior number of secondaries compared to all other American battleships which makes it the best close range ship. That's a joke lads
Cheat ship.... cause it's real fun playing a game with no cv.. then have to deal with planes regardless... in a dd... next up aircraft carrier subs. MM is going to need an update... there needs to be some sort of cap on how many plane control ships are in a match... or its going to be a return of 3cv per side matches, for dd players.
Sold your NC, you say? Get her back in your port, my good sir! Start playing her again and you'll wonder why you have neglected to play her for so long. She is one of my favorite in-game T8 BBs... 🏴
A great ship that is horribly soft to HE damage from just about anything. When her Achilles heel rapidly becomes common knowledge buyers remorse may set in.
Yaaaaay another ship encouraged to camp ...yaaay.. WeeGees going to need to make more islands near spawn.. yaaaay.. (Edit) in your average 7-11 min, spend more signals and camo game yep scam youll get 3 -5 flights off .. is it really worth it for that amount of gimmick .. and that slow shell velocity.. Dodge!
I say the same like "Timolo04" It was initially difficult to deal damage with her. It's a ugly ship You Can play on Lego Land with it !! Other Big BB's destroy you in max 3 hits , I expect more from a USA warship special in this TIER rank !
You're not wasting time spotting. if there are two or more ships, they can do more damage, than you (probably) if you keep the enemies spotted. If you are the reason a DD get's killed, or stopped from entering a flag area, it's not wasted either. Most CV players are too stupid and selfish to understand this, though.
Hard to take this video seriously with so many factual mistakes (NC sigma, Kearsarge sigma/dispersion with accuracy mod, shell flight time). It is a "first impressions" video, but I would still expect some very basic research.

@@merafirewing6591 I think you need to read what I wrote again. Of *course* there are models that have been made of the Montana - just like there are models made of *every* ship in the game of WoWs. Making a model from a set of paper documents doesn't magically make a paper design a non-paper ship, and it does not mean a ship "got past the paper design" stage. That requires some actual construction of the real thing in real metal - not the construction of a bunch of models. Again - EVERY ship in WoWs has been modelled - you can see the models in the game! If you want to consider the making a model as something different than making the design on which the model is base then then *nothing* in WoWs is a paper ship.
Isn’t there more US hybrid battleships coming? This might be a good captain trainer for that line
Stalin: I have approved so me crazy designs in my day but blayt this thing takes the cake for insane
i was protecting that ship half the evening with the HINDENBURGH
The Kearsarge combined the worst of both WW2 era carrier and battleship (really battlecruiser) design. In close up fighting she would be quick victim a light cruiser with 6" guns. As a carrier, she would simply not carry enough air firepower to make a difference. What a mess!
North Carolina has 2.0 Sigma, not the 2.1 that is quoted in this video.
To me it's so interesting that the US designed this with Russian money. That's why it's so ugly. We just were handed money and had a cool design so we used their money🤣🤣 the Russians obviously said nevermind and the Americans agreed and boom the idea was abandoned
Appearance wise, I really think she’s a beauty. It looks menacing and quite unique compared to the design of the Ise class
FOURTEEN duel purpose duel 5 inch gun, well that explains the 10 FLAK. Regardless, THIS SHIP BE UGLY! though i must admit seeing it in game its....less ugly but still makes me due a double take.
Edit: A fridge? Thats a understatement, more like a Neighborhood Walmart.
As weird as this sounds this ship should probably be an HE spammer. I know it has the good American AP but being able to get perma fires with planes and 12 guns sounds pretty good
Lol who the hell does the guy who said “do not broadcast me in any way for monetary gain” in chat thinks he is? Just because he’s not making money off the game he’s trying to prevent others from doing so? Gtfo guy
I have fun with it
Plotting room is a horrible choice if the accuracy is that bad.
??? Kearsarge has the best accuracy out of all tier 9 BB, tied with Iowa.
Project 1058 B. What happens when the Russians and Americans try and combine a battleship and aircraft carrier fueled by vodka and russian crew having a LAN party screaming about lag by saying Cyka Blyat.
Have to agree with your conclusions on this one. It's a fun and interesting ship but it wouldn't be my first try-hard pick, and definitely not for real money.
GG's by the way
Just seeing if anybody else here is familiar with the Naval Ops: warship gunner/ warship commander series.
Soviet battleship designed by Americans, superior number of secondaries compared to all other American battleships which makes it the best close range ship. That's a joke lads
Just got this so-called "battlecarrier" after I got other warships.
Note: Battleship + Aircraft Carrier = *Battlecarrier*
Cheat ship.... cause it's real fun playing a game with no cv.. then have to deal with planes regardless... in a dd...
next up aircraft carrier subs.
MM is going to need an update... there needs to be some sort of cap on how many plane control ships are in a match... or its going to be a return of 3cv per side matches, for dd players.
When I first saw it his ship, my head hurt. WHY!!! Just why? (Sobbing) my head.... So ugly....
Be it good or bad, i'd rather get a floating piece of Wood with a dd gun, it would look better
Sold your NC, you say? Get her back in your port, my good sir! Start playing her again and you'll wonder why you have neglected to play her for so long. She is one of my favorite in-game T8 BBs... 🏴
Coming to Xbox?
The price is so outrageous.
A great ship that is horribly soft to HE damage from just about anything. When her Achilles heel rapidly becomes common knowledge buyers remorse may set in.
8 months later and people still don't know how to deal with this ship lol
Yaaaaay another ship encouraged to camp ...yaaay.. WeeGees going to need to make more islands near spawn.. yaaaay.. (Edit) in your average 7-11 min, spend more signals and camo game yep scam youll get 3 -5 flights off .. is it really worth it for that amount of gimmick .. and that slow shell velocity.. Dodge!
Yea.....slow shells.......that yield 40k+ broadsides pretty regularly..............
I say the same like "Timolo04" It was initially difficult to deal damage with her. It's a ugly ship You Can play on Lego Land with it !! Other Big BB's destroy you in max 3 hits , I expect more from a USA warship special in this TIER rank !
Waste of a bb slot IMHO. Never gets stuck into the fight.
Kerbarge
Battlecarrier
I think she's beautiful. 💕 ❤️ 💕 😊
You're not wasting time spotting. if there are two or more ships, they can do more damage, than you (probably) if you keep the enemies spotted. If you are the reason a DD get's killed, or stopped from entering a flag area, it's not wasted either. Most CV players are too stupid and selfish to understand this, though.
Kind of ugly, yes. But easy to take down. That flight deck is a shell magnet.
And that flight deck bounce a lot of stuff at 15km +
If only the sides of the hangars also had 38mm i armor, this thing could be a potential brawler...
Oh like German shells now great WG has a nerf waiting.
The ugliest thing ever launched into the water 🤢
HMS Captain moment
Ugliest ship in the game period. Enough said.
Hard to take this video seriously with so many factual mistakes (NC sigma, Kearsarge sigma/dispersion with accuracy mod, shell flight time). It is a "first impressions" video, but I would still expect some very basic research.
plz dont promote anything that flies or dives
Get gud
What a stupid ass paper ship.
Just hideous...
Kinda ugly? 🤣 it’s ugly asf!
This is an abbomination🤮🤮🤮
