"...Luck is in their Favor." Wasn't there a meme somewhere about Oklahoma (who also has that Vice Defense skill) in PVP getting hit and procing that skill multiple times?
Everyone else calls it "Evasion" but this green skinned guy I hired kept yelling "DODGE!!" Plus the Indy/Portland wombo combo is a pretty decent one in the early meta, got them both to level 115, that's how long I used them.
Hey, do not yeet Portland like that! Need to use your knees and swing with the hips. It isn't all about arm strength. You'll throw your back out if you yeet her out like that. She isn't a Destroyer. She is a Cruiser! Oh and have you read up on the latest issue of Indy-Chan Weekly? I run a strictly Eagle Union Fleet as my main and I will not deny it. Indy-Chan doesn't typically hold up well after a point. Though I sometimes run with her with Portland. I mean sure I wish she could at least get something more for running with her sister. Yet she doesn't. Yes, Prinz does the job so much better being a tank but able to do damage too. Still, I like my Eagle Union Girls. So. I am just going to sit here and seethe not being able to get Summer from the last EU Event.....
I think the most I've seen Vice Defense proc for me was 3 times in a row. Was kinda nuts, honestly. But yeah, it's a damn shame that Indy, errm, Indianapolis is the way that she is gameplay wise. I've been thinking about restructuring my fleet for a while now, but not sure who to put in place of her and Portland.
The original USS Indianapolis was the last US ship sunk in WW2, with most of the crew getting off the ship. However, command didn't learn of the sinking until 4 days later, resulting in most of the crew dying from a mix of dehydration, salt water poisoning, hypothermia, and shark attacks. I-58 is the ship that sank her.
Indy's staying in my fleet for collection purposes. . . . And to keep Portland at bay. It's bad enough trying to keep half a dozen yanderes from destroying the place, I don't want or need to find out if she's just as terrifying.
New to the game, and the channel. Really like your style, funny and enjoyable to watch. I currently have her in my second fleet, along with Portland, and I did level Portlands sister skill a bit, so the two work pretty well together, but I guess since I am stilll in the early chapters it won't stay that way. Too bad really. I was always fascinated with the RL USS Indianapolis story and its role in history, so shame really she doesn't do that well in Azur Lane :(
Funnily enough Indianapolis and her sister Portland are on the lighter armor side (which is reference to them showing off a lot of skin) compared to other heavy cruisers. But she did got a retrofit in real life and if she did got a retro in game she will have a huge boost in FP.
History Time: Indianapolis is the Heavy Cruiser that Transported the Components of the Fat Man Atomic Bomb, Hence why She's Sits on Top of an Atomic Bomb Similar to the Fat Man, Her Character Design with Light Clothing is a Because of their Design History, Same with Portland (Pre Retrofit) They are Lightly Armored for Heavy Cruiser Standards, but the Got Retrofits later on That Improved their Armor Profile, Hence Portland's Tankiness after Retrofit, Indianapolis was Torpedoed by I-58, which said Submarine has Trouble Approaching Her in Game, but wants to be Friends with Her, Lastly the Reason as To why She has High AA Stats is Due to the Fact, USS Ships have Like Fuck Loads of AA on Their Ships, that can Pepper the Skies and Give Hostile Aircraft a Really Bad Time, No Aircraft will Leave their AA Fire Unscathed... Also when she was Sunk Halfway into the Leyte Gulf, She was Not Reported as Missing, and The Survivors of the Ship were Discovered by Accident, by a PBY Catalina Scout Plane, A lot of Which we're Eaten by Sharks, The USN Top Brass Accused and Blamed the Captain of Indianapolis for the Loss of the Ship, as an Escape Goat, But in Reality it was Their Fault, Failing to Provide Indianapolis an Escort or Any Form of Support or Cover, or Did any Effort to Do and Give Any of it On a Different Note.... OH BOI! The Pennsylvania Class is Next and the First Battleship I Fell in Love with when I was Younger, Arizona and Her Sister, Pennsylvania or Sister Penn, The Valkyrie! Can't Wait! Keep it Up Comrade Hawk! Keep the Good Shit and the Guides Rolling! Thank You Always for your Hard Work!
7:05 But to be completely honest, I’d rather push my luck with getting New Jersey in the next Event Pool. Funny thing is that actually hitting the 200 pull pity is almost the same probability as Vice Defence activating at around 9%.
Great video as per usual also holy hell it's finally coming, I think I put in the request for Penn and Ari almost two years ago XD Glad the rather unfortunately overlooked twins are finally getting their time to shine. I look forward to seeing your thoughts on two of my favorite characters even if I know they're not exactly meta and there are probably ships that do everything they do better. Have a good day, and see you on the next spotlight.
INDY GOT A REVIIIEWWWW YEESSSS!!!!! INDY KAWAIIII FOREVER!!! With her stats as they are, I expected the outcome of the review. Seeing Portland barge in though was great!
Yeah no wonder why hawk take too much time to make indy review since Portland interrupt hawk's video, and putting Portland idea really make me unexpected awesome idea, Hawk you have my respect
You took the words out of my mouth but should she get a decent refit, her and portland will be a power duo. Also her friendship with I-56 is a nod to how how the sub's captain spoke in the defense of Indy' captain.
new player started a few weeks ago, I actually run the sisters Portland and Indianapolis, and while I can see the side of your points (I mean you're CLEARLY the more experienced player here, talking back about your points is futile lol) but I have fun running them both...also I kinda need to level up Portland if I wanna get that guaranteed Enterprise which is what I'm gunning for...but it doesn't feel right running Portland without Indy lol...well they're part of my third fleet (so clearly I have arranged my better ships in the first two) and they're working alongside Unzen (62 pulls to get her not bad for starting 2 weeks ago lol) well maybe Indy will get a retrofit, what do you think they should focus on if she does?
Oh no problem there! You can run almost anyone you want for a large chunk of the game. Retrofit-wise, they'd probably need to do the same thing as they should do for Prinz Eugen...give them something to help them hit harder or give them a balanced update alongside a skill that would allow them to rival some of the tankiest characters. Sadly, I don't think it'll happen though :(
@@Hawk2zer0 I mean hey stranger things have happened...lol...right now I'm trying to working on the Eagle Union, and I think I made a decent fleet if I do say so myself (I need better gear though lol) I have Z23 (looking back shoulda picked Laffey), Chicago, Huston, Arizona, Pennsylvania and what was originally Long Island but I just drew Essex and gonna replace her with her (man my luck a Carrier whose name starts with E that's not Enterprise lol) Fleet 2 is Helena, Memphis, Brooklyn, Yorktown, Prince of Wales and Alabama Fleet 3 is a bit more rag tagged consisting more of leftovers then anything solid yet Unzen (admittedly I think she's the one carrying this fleet lol), Portland, Indianapolis, California, Tennessee and Unicorn, maybe not optimal but I like the girls and their designs, so I'm sticking with them for now, hope to get some really cool ships like Benson or New Jersey...but again what I really want is Enterprise...um if you have a video for more tips on the Eagle Union, I definitely would like to see it! Well thanks for replying to me
*Crack hands* its my time to watch the series i forgot ayear ago, all of them till the latest ones it would be scary if Indy get a retrofit, Portland probably will get her second retrofit to chase her sister
@@Hawk2zer0 Nah I get you man. Keeping up with editing is a struggle. Go at your own pace. It's just more the few times I was around recently when you were streaming, it wasn't AL, but you play what you enjoy.
For a ship that has significant role in history, Indy is just.. bleh. Her kit is bleh, her stats is bleh. Make her, I dunno, radioactive or something that shoot radioactive shells that works like poison or something. Stop caring IJN for once good God.
"...Luck is in their Favor."

Dear God...
I seen one with Hipper also
Procing up to 5x and it's not even funny (it funny bcs it's still not helping)
The retrofit mechanic saved both her sister and San Diego, so she needs one.
Hopefully boosting her firepower and efficiencies.
She definitely needs one. Actually, she deserves one since she carried a lot of us in the early days of AL.
Hai.
BIG SIS PENN!! I recently started trying her out because one of her voice lines just hit me a little too hard in the feels
Penn nee-San needs a retro too.
@@OverlordGrizzaka I'd be happy if she does get a retrofit
@@arcanist6 agreed. And now that I noticed your avatar, I reiterate that Dear Repulse needs a retro.
@@OverlordGrizzaka the fact that the IRL Repulse had multiple noticeable refits makes me hopeful for her potential growth in Azur Lane
@@OverlordGrizzaka Renown needs one too.
Hawk: *making Indy-chan video
Portland: My time has come **Best Sister skill activated*
*Yeets Portland out of the room
*Pennsylvania & Arizona next*
In the word of old Finnish man in F1
"Thank you Fucking finally"
My guy I know the feeling. I out the request for Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and Oklahoma out two years ago. Can't wait!
Kinda sad seeing no one mention the last survivor from her sinking passed away last week
Also hi Lou
RIP Edgar Harrell (1924-2021)
Semper Fidelis!
Reminder of how Ernest King tainted his own fine legacy when he went to unfairly prosecute the captain of the ship and what follows.
Everyone else calls it "Evasion" but this green skinned guy I hired kept yelling "DODGE!!"
Plus the Indy/Portland wombo combo is a pretty decent one in the early meta, got them both to level 115, that's how long I used them.
Yess. Love for Penny
THIS👆
Arizona really needs love too. Both need skins. Arizona especially, since I want to see her smile just once.💔💔💔

Portland post refit can stand on her own pretty well.

Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate really. Portland was saved by a retrofit thankfully. Really wish they'd consider something for Indianapolis.

Well... At least Portland didn't go mental on you because of this.
... Unlike in that one Roon doujin...
What are you talking about? Indy's right there!
Parker?

A retrofit for indichan that would make her live up to the hype that Portland has for her sister would be very very nice ;)
What’s the sandy count now?
Still using her till this day with laffey and takao as my vanguard and shinano, enterprise and kirishima
I leveled her and Portland together in my mob fleet from lvl 1 to 120. Not my smartest choice I know.
But you know... Indy Chan kawaii
Indianapolis needs a retrofit
i love indianapolis
i think she is the first ship i ever built
What a bummer for such an iconic ship.
You took the words out of my mouth but should she get a decent refit, her and portland will be a power duo. Also her friendship with I-56 is a nod to how how the sub's captain spoke in the defense of Indy' captain.
More than that, basically spent the rest of his life making amends with Indianapolis' surviving crew and trying to clear McVay's name.
one of these days she will finally get her retro and be really good again
Indy is a kawaii Indyvidual - Portland
Ask Portland for that "doujin pack".
Indy-chan *bass drop* KAWAAAIIIII
Indyyyyy-chaaaaaaan! *Bonk* SHUT UP PORTLAND!!
Ah USS Indianapolis, aka USS Sharkbait ;D. Cute and deadly.
This is why Indy stays at home as my secretary, so Portland I don’t have to worry about her! She doesn’t have to be the best combatant to be Best Girl
Hopefully Indy gets a Retrofit at some point.

i have this ship .. for some reason once i got to lvl 70 it wont give it any more XP ... so whats up with that?
Did you limit break her? It sounds like you need to do that.
Description go brrr
My Indianapolis will be hitting 120 soon enough. She isn't great but she isn't too horrible too. Also, I was not forced to say this by Portland.
Indy retro and oath when?
*Crack hands* its my time to watch the series i forgot ayear ago, all of them till the latest ones
it would be scary if Indy get a retrofit, Portland probably will get her second retrofit to chase her sister
Sheesh how many sandy do you plan to get
YES
Deutschland class when

Indianapolis retrofit when?
Need to cover any of the research ships at some point.
