My one gripe about Saipan is her airplane models are off: she should have Douglas AD-1 Skyraiders instead of Curtis SC2C Helldivers. Correction: The planes should be BTD Destroyers as others have pointed out.
It's definitely a contender for best CV. Also like you said it's a really powerful ship at the hands of a skilled player. I expect her to get nerfed though, so we'll have to wait and see how she fairs later on.
@@zman55646 They'll nerf her because of the horde of bad players (who make up about 90% of the playerbase) complaining about her. It's the whole reason why Weimar is getting nerfed by moving her up to Tier 7 as is (still think that's the wrong move though, but at least WG is trying), because enough people complained about Weimar. The same will probably happen to Saipan when skilled players start steamrolling players with Saipan, which I'm not gonna lie I can't wait to do lmao.
@@jome2284 mate the Weimar isn’t good for just ‘high skill players’ any potato can rack up damage in that ship. I never bought it as HE spammers aren’t my thing. But Saipan requires skill. Weimar doesn’t IMO
@@mrmataus3336 We're talking about why it got nerfed, regardless of skills needed, which is because of the numerous bad players complaining about the ship. IMO you need reading *skills* dude.
Well, I must admit, you managed to make me gain interest in the Saipan. Basically, it did not interest me since I have already obtained the Kaga (and that I love it, both in terms of gameplay and historical aspect), but your video makes me say that it is worth it! That aside, two very good parts, and nice to watch! A pretty good video enjoyable to watch, keep it up!
It’s not a contender. It’s the unquestionable best carrier in the game. I really worry about what this thing is going to turn the game into due to its ability to flood everything it touches multiple times and planes don’t go down. It will turn the game into an AA cluster fest, which will kill it for me.
thanks for uploading today you always make me inspired to play, on a side note I’m glad I decided to research the new carrier instead of the other new legendary us cruiser I just have so much more fun with the carriers please keep up the good work of videos I like the new style and love the best of compilations I’d rather you upload less frequently and do your quality of videos that you do vs feel pressured to upload all the time and lose the initial integrity and not have as much fun hope you have a great day pg!
JUST UNLOCKED HER LAST NIGHT! Did a Maiden Tour of 4 Voyages! She served well, and with no upgrades whatsoever!! First battle, I hit a decent amount of targets, no kills, team lost, I survived! 2nd, I hit plenty of targets, improvement of the first, one kill, I survived, team won. 3rd, same as second, slightly better improvement of striking, and more experience gained. Still only 1 kill, team wins and I survived! 4th battle?? Was my break out! I realized I needed to focus better on the lining of my targets, approach, and timing! 3 kills, & winning with kill on Kaga. I survived of course! All with no upgrades! No experience on Saipan! Saipan is EASILY my favorite CV of the game so far! I've only had the American line all the way through Lexington, plus Hosho (IJN? forgot name), Reihn, and Hermes. Lex is fun, but seemed to have a huge learning curve, and took me a long time, and needed all the upgrades before I got where I thought I was good, still having bad results. Saipan?? No upgrades, first 4 battles, 75% wr, 5 Kills, 100% survive rate?? IM JUST GETTING STARTED!! 😁 Follow me, as I'm trying to build my YT on many games I play!! You'll already see my Maiden voyage of Lexington, about 6 mo ago! And I'll have my Maiden Voyage of Saipan within the week! 😁
Still don't understand their obsession with CVs recently like I get it it's a new class but it's also the most boring like Kaga's the only one I can say that is somewhat unique and has a different play style than the others
Carriers are great for people (myself at the top of that list) that can't aim worth a damn with normal shots. I can land 3 torps on a DD no problem though.
She's gonna get nerfed, but I think they should keep the planes as is. Nerf the number of planes on deck (she is (I believe) the smallest CV in game after all) and adjust the squadron size to four instead of six for the torp bombers.
I still think the Soviets give a run for her money but she seems to make the soviets also run for their money, but my favorite carrier is Kaga for more of the history side.
Do u always post matches against lower tiers? I m wondering why people think this video is just art It is just against lower ships without any goddamn good AA
id love to get more powerful carriers but whenever i play a T7 cv battle my entire team dies in 3 minutes. I played 15 battles in my kaga since i got it, 13 were losses and i was top of the team 10 of the 13
Ngl once this ship will be common my JB and US BBs are gonna be played a lot Poor Shokaku players though, Kaga is one of the strongest CV and they add one even stronger now, WG gotta be careful with their CVs, its not that bad but wait and see
Kaga has better aa and actually has secondaries and her planes get melted unlike Saipan she has not great aa no secondary armament but has better planes
She does seem very strong but soviet blueprint carrier technology with its skip bombers being able to one shot a lot of the dds u find at tier 6 and 7 makes me think that pobeda is still stronger
Saipan is a Tier VII ship, same as Kaga. If any member of the Yorktown-class makes it to Legends, it will most likely be Enterprise. I just hope that she comes to Legends with her AP bombs that she has in PC.
sooner you drop the torps, the sooner you can zoom away from their AA fire if you’re already full aimed there’s no point holding until you’re at point blank range unless you desperately need to hit your target or its the end of the match
@@pgrapidz is there a difference between AA damage planes recieve in attack mode vs when they are flying away? I know planes in strike mode have like a 10% reduction to AA DMG recieved, do planes "zooming away" have a similar buff? Regardless of striking early or late, the planes are still going in the same direction toward the enemy ship If they don't, why not abuse that 10% buff until the end of there's no other buffs.

What ships are you researching in the bureau right now?
The kaga
des moines and the Montana
Saipan and DM
Kaga and Des Moines
Des Moines and Conq
It’s been 1 year+, he still doesn’t have the Saipan back 💀💀💀
Did he sell it or ???

True that, keep nagging WG and hopefully they’ll add the skyraiders in
shouldnt she have btd destroyers because thats what she has in wows pc

If she's only good with high skill players is it really worth the nerf?

Yo Pg, when’s the face revel?👀👀Also did you start with WowsL? If not what WOWS game did you start with? Also great video
Yeah I started with Wowsl back in the 2019 beta
@@pgrapidz Damn bro, nice I started with WOWSB then moved on the WowsL
Why isnt the fire Chance 1% bigger
These videos are just getting better and better in quality GJ on editing and on gameplay as well you helped better my builds of ships By a good bit
I hate CVs
Just got her a day ago with 7 games played and man almost every game is 100k dmg but with a garbage blue team I keep losing
thanks for uploading today you always make me inspired to play, on a side note I’m glad I decided to research the new carrier instead of the other new legendary us cruiser
I just have so much more fun with the carriers

Looks like it's a fun cv to play. I initially brushed it off but now I'm rather intrigued. 7 more segments to go..☹️
I just got it today and it's totally worth it
@@The-Man-of-Pepsi Is it still worth it?
@@heartandsouloftheenclave2306 yes it's just a little bit harder to torp dds and cl's but other than that it's pretty much the same
@@The-Man-of-Pepsi well damn, that was quick.
Think I know my next research
@@heartandsouloftheenclave2306 i don't usually make people wait for answers to questions that can be answered in 12 seconds
Great another op carrier that battleship have to deal with. Bad enough with have op HE spammers.
Carriers need a off switch
Bureau finished and I received my SAIPAN, I came to watch gameplay videos with it and review commented on ! ...thanks for the excellent video
@pgrapidz what happened to the best moments videos?
Privat💀💀
is so weird watching a cv video and it not being bombed by people who hate cvs. what a wonderful community legends has.
I enjoy always being blamed for cruisers sitting in the back when all I ever do is preach and do the opposite. Also, no such thing as an agile Mogami.
Would you mind doing a monarch video?
I don't see why not, it's one of my favourites
the Jeremy Clarkson Adage "All cocks drive M3s" is applicable to CV drivers...
How to be good at game series when?
Plz do the European bb
Still don't understand their obsession with CVs recently like I get it it's a new class but it's also the most boring like Kaga's the only one I can say that is somewhat unique and has a different play style than the others
something something supply and demand
Carriers are crazyyyyy popular with the playerbase, way more than you’d expect
Carriers are great for people (myself at the top of that list) that can't aim worth a damn with normal shots. I can land 3 torps on a DD no problem though.
@@zman55646 yep
Hey pgrapidz, I was that Shōkaku I am WondrousSand404 that Free 50k damage got me XD you did good on that game
He call me a dumb A too lmao but keep up the good work bro you are inspiration to me and I hope to be better some day
@@nicesunset6284 i called myself a dumbass not you my friend, GG 🙂
Ah nice, GG! Tbh didn’t expect you to go all the way past the map to behind me lol I’ll have to see if I can pull that off myself
I think we all know wargaming needs to nerf shökaku
I was always between the saipan and the graf zeppelin but for all the videos and the secondary ones I chose to go for the graf zeppelin
Might have made a mistake there champ
She's gonna get nerfed, but I think they should keep the planes as is. Nerf the number of planes on deck (she is (I believe) the smallest CV in game after all) and adjust the squadron size to four instead of six for the torp bombers.
Just how much of a wowsl brain do you have, you seem to be an ace in every ship class you play.
Well done.
Hi
I’m researching it in the bureau right now. I like it
I still think the Soviets give a run for her money but she seems to make the soviets also run for their money, but my favorite carrier is Kaga for more of the history side.
Do u always post matches against lower tiers?
I m wondering why people think this video is just art
It is just against lower ships without any goddamn good AA
I'm trying watch proper game you going very fast on video it was not enjoyable sorry try doing a full game 😉
Seeing this i think that they didnt have to nerf the August von Parseval
I feel dirty just watching this.
Saipan definitely seems quite strong, although for DD hunting I'd say Pobeda is definitely the best.
Oh for sure, pobeda eats destroyers for breakfast
id love to get more powerful carriers but whenever i play a T7 cv battle my entire team dies in 3 minutes. I played 15 battles in my kaga since i got it, 13 were losses and i was top of the team 10 of the 13
Is this Saipan is so much better than the one that's in World of Warships the PC version
No way PG set a damage record? Never heard of it
😏
Ngl once this ship will be common my JB and US BBs are gonna be played a lot
Poor Shokaku players though, Kaga is one of the strongest CV and they add one even stronger now, WG gotta be careful with their CVs, its not that bad but wait and see
and the memes? 😢
best moments 12 soonTM
So funny how this CV is shit on PC but so good in this game
Unfortunately destroyers are annoying
billybob jimjoe has some splainin to do : )
you have are respect from free to play players
How do u make u carrier head a certain way
i can see a Kaga Buff coming plus...... Still..... #JusticeForShokaku
Guess i will be back to playing cvs, been a while man nerf after nerf after nerf cant catch a break
Next update is aircraft restoration nerf.....
Thought it had jets hmmm
I love to play CVs. It's carriers like this one that make other players hate CVs. Good game mate! 💪💪💪
Interesting, nice to see wargaming is doing more with carriers, mixes up the gameplay a bit. Nice video as usual
Im a new player to the game i have only played for 6 months and i already have alaska and almost have Yamato and G. Kurfurst
Kaga has better aa and actually has secondaries and her planes get melted unlike Saipan she has not great aa no secondary armament but has better planes
Haha you're not joking let's be honest....
yea ace combat, just waiting for the a10 worthogs next update
I've been playing Legends a little under a year but just found my favorite cc today! Subbed!
Loving that SMO music in the background and great video as always.
I prefer kaga because people it is more balanced even though Saipan is better
How did you get that patch symbol it looks awesome!
Try to beat my 7 kill record in Bismarck or yamato
I don’t care about carriers honestly😐
Now if you can change peek’s mind on it 😂
Is the background song the Cascade Kingdom theme from Super Mario Odyssey?
Yes it is
What CV's would you say is top 3 in the current state of the ones you can buy, like Chkalov, Kaga, Saipan etc ?
Personally id say Saipan , Pobeda/Parseval and then Kaga
I hate when your team fall asleep on u
She does seem very strong but soviet blueprint carrier technology with its skip bombers being able to one shot a lot of the dds u find at tier 6 and 7 makes me think that pobeda is still stronger
Its over powered against idiots , you try hitting anyone who knows what they are doing and you will lose all your planes before you know it
Nothing beats parseval
The best is the German one
Holy hell. Gg man.
The people who cry for CVS remember on PC you can get up to 4 CVs per game that means 2 teammates and 2 enemies be thankful for that
I love your videos
I wonder if any yorktown class will ever come to the game considering saipan is a legendary
Saipan is a Tier VII ship, same as Kaga. If any member of the Yorktown-class makes it to Legends, it will most likely be Enterprise. I just hope that she comes to Legends with her AP bombs that she has in PC.
@@NewtypeCommander The Mighty E!! She couldn't be preserved as a museum, but they ought to let us see her in all her glory in Legends!!
hey PG, why do you drop some of these torps a bit away from the target? is it to avoid saturation?
sooner you drop the torps, the sooner you can zoom away from their AA fire
if you’re already full aimed there’s no point holding until you’re at point blank range unless you desperately need to hit your target or its the end of the match
