I like how at 4:20 they try to justify the absurd HE by saying it's "immensely vulnerable to the shell type herself". KGV has the same 25mm armor on bow, deck and stern that both the Colorado and Nagato do. Superstructure armor is also 16mm just like on the USN and IJN BBs. Can't remember those two having ridiculous HE shells, an underwater citadel, improved heal and god tier concealment allowing them to mitigate incoming fire in the same way though. The only thing more amusing than this obvious power-creep is WG's attempts to justify it.
Bbbbbbut Flumi they say to slot IFHE, is clearly so good in a bb for four points! i'm gonna spec out of my survivability expert and put my hard earned point in a ifhe conqueror! *puts on tinfoil hat whit glue bottles*
The king George vi ships had partitioned quadruple turrets so the maximum number of guns which could be incapacitated at a time was two which would be nice to have in the game.
@@DuckyGoose74 Yea, the original design was 3 triple 15 inch gund but that was impossible bcus of the guns weight so they used the 2 quad 14 inch and 1 double 14 inch
I know it would be op in places but it would be nice to have realistic armour as although the thicknesses in armour are correct British and German armour was significantly in advance of that of other nations meaning that the effective thickness was 10-20% more that the raw figures would suggest compared to contemporary armour of other countreis
The battleship-line that ruined the game with its HE spam and a broken T10... FeelsBadMan Edit: As Flamu pointed out also. IFHE? Really? How about learn how to shoot and use the AP? Even the Scharnwürst does well with AP if you know how to aim...
Well actually though her armor belt is indeed almost as thick as Yamato everything else is much weaker though as it had a pretty tough weight limitation.
General Cartman Lee It was never conceived as a battle cruiser. The diference with the original design of 1936, was the fact that the King George V had ten guns of 356mm and not nine of 381mm (like Monarch). Ignorant.
This is what I enjoy most about this UK BB. Cooking BBs like Bacon on a Sunday Afternoon and slicing through cruiser armour like a hot knife through butter.
It's about the ship, not the person. "Ship" is a feminine word in most romance languages, and the English do this as well, likely due to the Romans. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_English#Ships
"She is rather a battle-cruiser." Uh, no. King George V is NOT a battle-cruiser, she is a battleSHIP. She should not be in tier 7 but instead tier 6 because of her poor guns. Who puts 14" guns into a tier 7 willingly. The Nelson should have been tier 7.
on legends its a better armoured bigger gunned king goerge v with 3 triple turret 15 inch guns, lower chance to set fire but higher HE damage at 6300. Also has super heals that with modest heal spec can do over half heal in one and probably over 3/4 with the right captain and inspirstions, not quite as accurate as KGV I love them both and are my two favourite ships in the game.
hahaha thats a valid point, to be fair sometimes i really want to kill my wife too :P To be serious for a second he didn't kill his first wife and his 2nd wife cheated on him many times she was executed for this same with his 4th wife so really who is to blame? You should not cheat on your husband if he is King i don't ever see it ending well for you. Peace out bro
No a battlecruiser is not a battle ship, and yes it is bad history. Battlecruisers and battleships had completely different roles in a fleet. the King George V was undoubtedly a battleship. She had the most powerful and best designed armour of the war, with the sole exception of the Yamato's, who made up for deficiencies in their scheme with sheer mass. She also had the best AAA defences of any ship of her generation. She was meant to sit at the front, shoot other battleships, and get shot without sinking. Which is the exact opposite of what battlecruisers are supposed to do. Which is, most importantly, not get shot at by battleships. I would suggest you try and actually learn some history before telling other people they are wrong about it.
@@alchemist6819 the Iowa class had higher overall quality steel used in its construction, but British armour technology - in talking specifically about the metallurgy here - was superior. The KGVs could survive fire from the Iowas at ranges that the Iowa would be vulnerable to them, specifically because their armour scheme was qualitatively and quantitatively inferior in almost every way. Both had specific vulnerabilities but nontheless were well designed.
WG, you hopefully know that RN ships need a nerf... but I will ask that you perhaps decrease the durability of the quad turrets (b/c historical accuracy)
It a cancer to see the Conqueror and all english ship's shoot He shell. Really, ruin the duel from BB. The difference between BB's and Cruiser's is the shell, please, fix this think.
when u fire u guns all enemy see u anyway so its the same for all ships. Guns are copy of missouri guns , when u play it. the stats say nothing. its the players skill it depend on... sry my bad english...
Ice___ no problem I understood what you wrote. They will get spotted at when they fire but once the guns cool down you are hidden again so you can basically stealth fire other bbs from range until they close within your spotting range
like Russian ships... Zao have 1 big problem, enemy see it miles away. and zao player often get killed. Ships need some time undetected so they can run away if multiple enemy is hunting 1 ship. so English bb are just fine. never had problem to not see them. just like a long range fire from yamato , u cant fire bak... deal whit it in a smart way. u are not alone , u got spotplanes and dds who can spot for u to. if all ships are the same this game die faster then wowp... so play smart. sry my bad english... it sucks.
I know but it's funny for me ( I am polish) In my language a warship is a male form, but depending on a ships specific name we can call it he - KGV, Bismarck, etc or she - N. Carolina, Elisabeth, Haruna. :)
My problem with WG calling KGV a "battlecruiser" isn't because it's an insult to the ship, it's because it's just not true.
I like how at 4:20 they try to justify the absurd HE by saying it's "immensely vulnerable to the shell type herself".

Clearly you should be using expert rear gunner like in this video to balance yourself out
And they said IFHE will help it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The master has spoken.
They definitely need to add more battlecruisers like HMS Repulse
yes
Yes
She's made to set fire on everything. EVERYTHING.
Ap works good against cruisers only.
Very fun ship
when Russian DDs have worse Concealment than Brit BBs :D i love the logic
Because comrade, Russian DDs don't need concealment when you have Russian Bias to keep you safe!

France:Hon hon i have 4 guns in 1 turret!
Brits:Lets copy them
(King george the v class)
they didnt copy the french turrets, the treaty forced them to use quad turrets
@@DuckyGoose74 Yea, the original design was 3 triple 15 inch gund but that was impossible bcus of the guns weight so they used the 2 quad 14 inch and 1 double 14 inch
Did they just recommend IFHE on a ship that basically already HAS IFHE built-in?
That must be a mistake right
The whole line is a mistake.
proooooooobably when in battle vs german bb armor . cant think any other reason..
356/4 equals 89mm of HE pen, enough for any ship.
This is idiocy. It was nothing like a battlecruiser. It was very heavily armored. Battlecruisers are lightly arnoured in order to have high speed.
I know it would be op in places but it would be nice to have realistic armour as although the thicknesses in armour are correct British and German armour was significantly in advance of that of other nations meaning that the effective thickness was 10-20% more that the raw figures would suggest compared to contemporary armour of other countreis
if the quadruple turrets don't malfunction when I'm fighting Bismarck its not the King George V
Well Bismark doesn't have a weakness to torpedo biplanes so I don't think they will replicate it.
Wasn't that Prince of Whales that was having that issue? I think KGV performed pretty well the following day.
It was Prince of Wales.
random guy oh yeah my bad forgot both had quadruple turrets oh well i will call the king George prince of wales
Prince of Wales was a sistership of King George V.

Lol 3:48 is that expert rear gunner? On a BB? The memes are real.
'She is rather a battlecruiser' what. Armour second only to the Yamato and she's a battlecruiser?!? SHE WAS NOT A BATTLECRUISER STOP SAYING SHE IS.
Well, Scharnhorst wasn't a battlecruiser either. The design started as battlecruiser but in the end she had the armor of a battleship.
I say the sale.380mm and say that Is a battlecruiser.Shut up wargaming
Well actually though her armor belt is indeed almost as thick as Yamato everything else is much weaker though as it had a pretty tough weight limitation.

Seriously encouraging HE spam it BBS now?
Umm guys...? Why do you show off an example of battleship captain build using a CARRIER skill (expert rear gunner)? And IFHE for a battleship?
Meet the king of the World of Warships
This is what I enjoy most about this UK BB. Cooking BBs like Bacon on a Sunday Afternoon and slicing through cruiser armour like a hot knife through butter.
Hms queen mary too
As long as it has a battle ship icon on it... I'm shooting HE at it
Tank called King George V keeps calling the ship a "her", well done Wargaming, well done
It's about the ship, not the person. "Ship" is a feminine word in most romance languages, and the English do this as well, likely due to the Romans. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_English#Ships
The king George its the best ship of the game, for me
AND THE 150MM ARMOR OF THE DECK. IN THE GAME ONLY HAVE 25 AND THEN 19. ITS RIDICULOUS
git gud
That's the only reason I reinstalled the game briefly to check, can't believe they've done this.
since when is the King George 5 battlecruiser ? Wargaming is really out of options and gettin ridicoules.
A nice battleship! I love the Royal Navy and Imperial Japanese Navy!!
Great soundtrack
stronger AA armament?
I think tihs ones AA in WoWS is pretty bad
My favorite ship
i hope the AA-Guns will be animated wir gunfire soon.
Beautiful :o
I like this Ship,i grinded hard and fast to get to the KGV,the other Ships in the Line except the Orion and Conquerer are not so interesting for me!!!
"She is rather a battle-cruiser." Uh, no. King George V is NOT a battle-cruiser, she is a battleSHIP. She should not be in tier 7 but instead tier 6 because of her poor guns. Who puts 14" guns into a tier 7 willingly. The Nelson should have been tier 7.
Well that would be weird since the Nelson is from 1923 and the George V is from 1938.
What kind of playstyle changes in the uptier? You are still firing HE like an idiot.
Can u add more british battleship in world of warship blitz
Carriers are endangered species in Steam version.
while in blitz they are so many... every tier has a aircraft carrier there...
Speaker: ACTION STATIONS
KGV using IFHE? KGV already has 89mm of HE pen...
IFHE LUL
IFHE TOGETHER WITH SURVIVABILITY & SMOKE SCREEN EXPERT FTW
dont forget expert rear gunner!
@@cobrazax to make that rear gunners extra deadly, just look at flambass
how about monarch? better?

Thx
I've gotten more Citadels in my King George V than any other ship. Its my go to ship for citadel hunting
The saber of Azur lane . Burn baby burn
WG, what type of drug did you take when you had the idea, that this HE, on all the BBs, is balanced?! I will give you a hint...it's not balanced.
Have you actually played with KGV? It can get absolutely wrecked by AP at the bow
I think George V was the best king of Great Britain.
Paul _V_ Henry 8th was for sure, you should see his private collection of Italian silk
Stephen Cooper but George V didn t kill his wifes. But it s your oppinion so don t take me seriuos :D
hahaha thats a valid point, to be fair sometimes i really want to kill my wife too :P To be serious for a second he didn't kill his first wife and his 2nd wife cheated on him many times she was executed for this same with his 4th wife so really who is to blame?

For me is George VI

if wargaming adds weapon realism into world of warship, King George V will be the most difficult ship to play
The issues with the guns would be sorted out, maybe even upgrade in game.
And it still should be a tier 8. You dun goofed on that WG.

Hey, WG you are dead, because war thunder is better
