Kremlin - Ranked Terror
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- The Kremlin is already monstrously tanky ship, low concealment, highest health, best armor and best damage control systems. Add in a constantly ticking heal like in Ranked Sprint and you got a whole new beast on your hands.

I've found the british DDs pretty strong too, I currently have a 90% win rate on my jutland in ranked
that montana likely to hit ur barbette of second turret
Could you do Montana review pls, that ship need some love
Or, two shells hit the turret at the same time....
WG seeing this vid:
"WHAT? MONTANA BROKE THE KREMLIN'S TURRET?"
Next Patch
- Montana AP shells penetration nerfed.
ACTION STATIONS
WG-Devs watching this video: "This is frightening. Igor look at this, we have to buff the Kremlin turrets. They clearly break too fast."
Lol
"Let's put the best shell ellipse and the best armor scheme on the same ship, and then give it nearly best in class gun caliber and speed, what could possibly go wrong?"
Plenty of players saying enough is enough!
@@KondorDCS Funny thing is, even the RU server is full of it (contrary to the popular belief that the RU playerbase should be blamed for everything).
However, when was the last time failed to cash out on the players who will grind/outright whale the OP lines?
WG is like the IRL Mr. Krabs, in that "they like money". Except, with Mr. Krabs, we laugh. But WG's money gathering tactics aren't that funny in my book.
@@ivanskopin7723 I don't think anyone blames the RU player base. I've heard people say WG is trying to pander to the RU player base, but that's not their fault.
@@MrSpleenface You are a smart person, you know that it isn't the ordinary players' fault.
However, some people in the comments here manage to link a game about ships that go pew-pew to current politics, while making claims that it's the RU playerbase which is pressuring WG to make all the stupid decisions.
Which, given that RU is not the largest server and does not bring in the most money, is doubly stupid.
Don't forget the torpedo belt, yesterday I've landed 7 shima torps on a Kremlin and the MF not only survived but came back afterwards with almost half HP.....
You can tell its a paper ship. with such a low freeboard it would have been an absolutely awful wet bathtub of misery in heavy seas. But thats not a consideration for a game.

I think the yashima beats the Kremlin in penetration
And only that
So they added Yashima that has 20" guns. But komrad, did you know there are SeKrIT DoKumEnS of a ship that carried 22.5" guns owned by a SUPER TOTALLY SECRET RUSSIAN NAVAL BASE near Polanski? Yeah, this base was the bigger shipyard next to the one that built the Smolensk.

Really just Kremlin ? Everything starting from T6 is best BB on tier. Sinop is sick as fuck , Vladivostok with Kuznetsov is totally working well in T10 games etc etc.

I've been in clans with people who think SE is good for cruisers
There's just no reasoning with them
Can only imagine how terrible the BB ones must be
@@theunknownone5990 Well at least the Cruisers have a smaller health pool so SE is more impactful and more logical. Unfortunately, the name of the game, for cruisers is to not get hit. So having 5%-6% more health won't matter that often. The bad players are only going to survive to the next volley anyways, and the good players will never put themselves in such a bad spot.
Stopped playing a while ago.

@geheimschriver the rework was a gigantic nerf to CVs
@geheimschriver If i remember correctly i stopped playing just before the russian Battleships came out. It is sad to see WoWs going the WoT way of life but hey... it was fun while it lasted!
I knew it, Kremlin definitely need a buff. See? Flamu lost a turret! Litteraly unplayable.
Against hakuruyu yes the CV need a big nerf, probably wg should cut haku planes HP to half it's current HP so the AP bombs can't just kill everyone.
@@1mol831 dude, he is literally joking, He meant that Kremlin needs a nerf. I would be glad if Hakaruyu had even a bit more easier time killing the Kremlin. That saying I am not saying Hakaryu does not need a nerf.
@@1mol831 r/woooosh
I’m surprised they didn’t call the ship “Balans”
WG prides itself on modeling ships to historic documents to retain "realism". I wondered if they knew if Stalin wasn't shown fantasy/impossible technical drawings by the Soviet naval design bureaus that they would likely be shipped off to the Gulag or just flat out executed.
honestly it's sad to see the only "competitive" ships in game are only soviet ships.
Venezia is up there, but besides that yeah absolutely. And thank FUCK there are no Soviet CV's (yet, anyway)
Ehhh Ohio? Des Moins? Salem? Venezia? Puerto Rico? Thunderer? All these have best in class WR this season. Ohio is showing Super Unicom stats, but that’s an RB reward.

@@christopherlee627 he'd make far more if his name and channel wasn't attached to WG, the vast majority of gamers out there will avoid anything to do with WG, and for good reason.

WoWS: The thinking man's game
Thinking about what to have for lunch later I bet.
That Monty was secretly a WG dev and him not taking any citadels and breaking your turret is a strawman when people will complain about the Kremlin 😁
No bias here, I was in a yammy sent 9 shells at a full broadside kremlin and got 4 k damage.... spreadsheet says it’s fine
What distance?
I fired 9 shells at a broadside Republique 2 km away with my Kremlin and got zero damage.
@@admiralfloofz658 better bait needed
Same in my Georgia but I bounced all four shells at point-blank.
You can see nicely that the Kremlin is a fantasy ship. Sitting that low on the water would be very bad on any sea condition other than totally calm. Basically everything after the front turrets would be completely under water and washed/splashed by the sea. Open gun mounts would not be usable as people would not be able to stand the water splashes. Compare that to the Yamato which was designed for actual sea conditions from calm to very rough.
No wonder the Russians had no strong navy. With a ship design like that those ships would be sunk very quickly by a rough sea.
Your'e drinking the Kool-Aid again Flamu, it's obvious to everyone this ship is in dire need of a buff.
"Where's the citadel?"
"What citadel?"
As someone whose only tier ten is a zaõ, so this thing us the bane of my existence. My he does nothing when I hit him at range, and he lasers me down and blows me out of the water with his "poor dispersion" over matching.
You can use your torps. For me my tier ten is the Worcester for the sole reason that hakuryu is overpowered and only cruiser plus defensive fire.can deter their attacks.
get a team with more cruisers, carriers, or destroyers and just torp spam every Kremlin player you see
What i'm hearing is "the best...." "the best...." " the best...." yeah we know, that ship best at everything
Edit :just realise my profile is kuznetsov... AHAHA GO RUSSIAN BIAS
Yup, heard the same... Damn fairyland @ World of Russian ships ft. Wargaming.
Cry mooooreeeee
I absolutely love the understanding and honesty you deliver to the community. Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into your videos and streams. If people would listen to your advice it will help general game play across-the-board.
I just unlocked my Kremlin today and have only experienced 4 battles in her so far so maybe I'm just not familiar enough with her yet, but right off the bat her handling felt alien and like trash to me. Keep in mind I also own the Yamato, Republique, Grober Kurfurst, and Montana so I am very familiar with how the other top tier BBs handle and feel as far as acceleration, deceleration, etc. I can't quite put my finger on it yet with Kremlin but I immediately noticed how long it seems to take her to slow down and coast to a full stop from full speed. Then I began to notice that during full speed 180 turns the ship seemed to be presenting broadside for a longer time than usual at exactly the most nerve racking moments of the turn where you're giving flat broadside to any ships that were just directly in front of you. To me it feels like WG might have programmed in this extra little hang time section of what normally should be a perfectly smooth and even turning circle probably for balancing reasons. If you have a Kremlin and haven't noticed this yet pay attention the next time you're nose in and then need to execute a full speed hard rudder 180 turn to start kiting away and falling back. If you're being shot at during this turn pay attention during the most vulnerable moment of the turn where you've just turned the first 90 degrees and are presenting perfect broadside to any enemies who were directly in front of your ship prior to beginning the 180 turn. Maybe I'm imagining things, but at this most vulnerable point during the turn the ship seems to just hang there almost coasting straight for a bit instead of continuing the smooth turn just for a few added brief moments before the ship finally starts turning enough again to begin angling away from presenting broadside to the enemy.
Every other ship I've played in this game so far handles exactly as you'd expect a ship to turn after pinning the rudder to one side, and that is that the ship will execute a smooth continuous half circle turn the whole time turning at the same exact rate during any given point in time during the turn. With Kremlin I swear she turns more like a U with a small flat section at the bottom rather than a smooth normal sweeping turn.. There's got to be a way to actually test this in game somehow maybe with some time lapse aerial view replay footage of the Kremlin during a full speed 180 turn, but I definitely felt like I was noticing this strange added hang time while presenting flat broadside exactly halfway through pulling a full throttle 180 turn. I'm really curious to hear if any other Kremlin captains have experienced this strange feeling I'm talking about here that the ship is somehow presenting broadside just a bit longer than it feels you do normally during 180 turns in basically any other tier 10 BB. Like I said during the opening of my comment here, I did just unlock her today and only have 4 or so games in her so far so maybe I'm just tripping here, but from the very first match I felt like something was just off somehow and abnormal about her sluggish throttle response and turning capabilities compared to Yammi, Kurfurst, really any other tier X battleship.
For something like these game types, I imagine any German BB would also do extremely well simply because SHOOT ALL THE THINGS WITH ALL THE GUNS.
"and of course with 457s no cruiser can tank you... Except, of course, for the Russian ones"
Ill stick with my bourgogne for ranked. The speed boosts are adding up to make it a 44 knot ship the heals work for it too. The reload buff is making it even sicker I'm getting games with 180+ main battery hits and this is a bb. As for damage flamu in the last 2 days I had a 416k game and a 407k game the rest were all mid 200s. It is the wrath of god in this mode. Kremlin has a massive weakness and thats fire damage 5 repairs and your out and then that damage really ticks up and their is nothing you can do about.
As a DD main, I didn't realize just how broken this thing is until you laid it all out in this great explanation, thank you.
I call hidden changes: Since the last patch ive got like 80% more disabled and destroyed turrets on EVERY ship iam driving right now. Thats so massive that i literally have several times disabled turrets every fking game. Thats not normal and i hate it. Even Preventive Maintenance doesnt change it that much. I swear WG recently changed penetration values on the turretarmor or something stupid to let you get disabled turrets more often.
maybe people are just aiming at your guns more? I know if you presented me your nose, I'm AP'ing your guns down.
EDIT: I'd just like to point out that according to Flamu's twitch clip, it takes focusing only 1.5 million potential damage to kill a 1/3 health Kremlin.
Taking bets on what they'll add to the Kremlin once subs are released:
Depth charges? Depth charges on launchers with 5km range? It's own sonar pings? Layered torpedo protection, of which protection-ignoring torps with only ignore the first layer of? Something else more balansed?
WG should change their game’s name to World of soviet warships
World of Premium Soviet Tier 8 Tanks // World of Soviet Warships. // And that one game we don't talk about.
@@BPKPhoenix even in the last game they managed to make russian planes op... But you still needed skill to win - russian kiddos were still getting bashed by good players, so they made it more arcade by introducing wowp 2.0 which completely killed the game.
Its so frustrating to see what they do to wows now. 🤮
I love how wargaming keeps adding russain 50's fantasy designs. It easy to design a ship that's great at everything but well reality can often be disappointing. If wargame wants over power designs how about the U.S. Tillman battleship. But not really.
Yep. Add in one of the Tillman designs for the USN, the 1943 version of the Lion design for the RN, a H44 for the Kriegsmarine and the A-150 for the IJN. Then maybe there would be some semblance of balance.
Even better idea, let's finally give those poor Germans some right and proper BALANS medium.com/history-of-yesterday/the-h-45-battleship-concept-6766ae63cb29

One ranked game with the Kremlin the team managed to get 3 health buffs.
I took 160k damage in total and finished the game full health. Never went below half health.
This ship is insane
160k is quite a low bar, that’s well within Kremlin’s tanking potential in a normal game, let alone an Arms Race. Other battleships could probably have done that too.
Yep I take 210k damage

Flamu videos in the past 2 months: we are getting close to that 100k giveaway...
Fun fact: The Kremlin used to have the highest damage of 15500 AP damage of any Sjip in game before it was nerfed
His closing comments about DDs are so true. After spamming Kremlin for about 10 matches I grew tired of the nonsense and took my Halland out and ranked out within 2 hours. DDs are harder than ever to play, I understand that, but there's definitely an influx of players who have no idea what they're doing..
Thank you this video, cemented my goal to grind it out. I got it, 10 battles later I have a 70% WR, 100k avg damage a game and just got a kraken with 241k damage lol, 5 kills with 2 more than only survived because the timer ran out. I tanked 2.4 million potential and another 160k actual damage. And still had like 30k health left at the end. I don't even have Kuznetsov. This thing is ridiculous. The one thing I have done different from the skills/upgrades, is I went with the +10% consumable length in Mod 5 for more repair. I also didn't take CE, I took BOS and would also add High Alert. I'm also going to get the Damage Con Coal skill in Slot 1 eventually after I get Kuznetsov.
I came around the corner with my Alabama the other day and ran into a broadside of the Kremlin. While I eventually ended up with Davy Jones, it was an exhilarating pounding that I haven't taken since I stuck up for a pretty girl in 4th-grade schoolyard in 1969 Brooklyn. Gotta get me this ship one day.
Is this a commercial for an overpowered machine?
When everyone plays only one true nation, balans will be achieved.
As a kremlin player i lost my 2nd turret to a montana before cause he aim for the barbettes and keep aiming until he destroyed it but it did not matter cause my team is winning.
To be fair the AA is easier to destroy with constant HE spam but then again no cv would attack you first cause your AA is same or better than montana. I never really care any cruisers at all. I just steamroll them anyway
Lastly this ship is just a soviet yamato but better in everything. The 3mm difference from 457 and 460 just got transfered to the central deck
@Flamu it has been an entire year since we've got a Kremlin upload! Crazy how hard it's fallen out of popularity.
GK is more tanky, it has much better armor. The only thing Kremlin has going for it is better fire resistance. Kremlin has 60mm armor only in its mid section while its massive nose and aft sections are 32mm. Kurfurst has much more of its deck covered in 50mm than Kremlin has in 60mm. Also GK is much more resistant to citadels.
Thanks, but NO thanks. I'm sticking to my Friedrich der Grosse.
People call these ships Russian, but they are Soviet. The Devs sit in Belarus, which was a part of the Soviet Union. Belarus is maybe the country where people miss the Soviet Union the most.
They still have the KGB there and they even call it KGB.
To be honest, maybe the Devs have no choice. It might be soviet bias or the Gulag for them and their families.
unfortunately not everyone is as battle intuitive like you Flamu, had a kremlin player in my team happily sailing the side of the map watching his team mates die in the middle because he wanted to shoot the CV (which was last seen at the starting position) so he was sailing to that direction from the side. I was so pissed, we could've held the cap if only he helped us out mid battle. my thunderer doesn't have enough armor to tank in the middle, but I basically had the same strat as you. use BBs to hold the cap, and let the little ones hunt
Flamu : it doesn't actually make sense
When you consider it's a Soviet ship, everything make sense.
i started this game about a year ago and just kind of played one or two games a month. i just recently started playing more and found out that the tree that i have been climbing (USSR) has some of the best ships. i'm currently on the tier 8 Battleship.
Perfectly balanced as all things should be. Especially with the legendary commander that auto-heals below 10% hp which means you will never be on the cusp of death because of the armor scheme making 10k volleys almost impossible. The only real threat is Conqueror and maybe Thunderer telling Kremlin's armor to stop existing. I say "maybe" Thunderer because they are both the same squishy ship but at least Conqueror 3D prints itself a new HP bar.
IFHE should also improve SAP ammo, but we'll end up in a very artificial situation where you need to take a perk to counter one specific enemy that rightfully shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Like needing IFHE on the old Jutland/Daring in order to even fight other DDs.
Your issue with the Montana at 15:40. Same thing happened to me last night. Numerous decent salvos at a flat broadside Montana, and not a single citadel.
Everytime I've played Kremlin I've ended up against a Conquerer or Thunderer which counters Kremlin quite well
You make it look so easy. I usually get abandoned in the Kremlin and then "here come the torps".
Even at this best armored ship in the game, if you aim somewhere above the turrets you can hit the comand located in between the turrets, that's the most difficult thing to achieve in this game. When the ship is bow in against you it's the hardest to hit that part, as turrets are very good armored. On broadside semi broadside long ranges again try to aim somewhere above turrets line and you'll get awesome results with ap or he.
Since you mentioned IFHE Hindenburg - are you still planing on doing a video on IFHE rework? For what ships is IFHE still recommented after rework?
With the montana breaking your turret, I think it shot through the hull and into the turret "citadel". I've lost turrets in BBs to carrier dropped torpedoes. It doesn't have to be a shell penetrating the actual above deck turret, even though it makes very little sense.

Not even mention that every tier X final reward of every WOT campaing is a soviet tank or evrry reward of any big event is a tier X soviet tank
28:19 lol a survivable expert Kremlin, so more than one hundred HP still not enough (sigh)
Yamato had a specially designed underwater nose which enabled it to do 27 knots and was revolutionary at that time. You would think that the ship with by far more armor, 9 18 inch guns as well, lying very deep in the water would be slower. But no because of glorious soviet hydrodynamics and engine power it is even two and a half knots faster than Yamato and has way better rudder shift. Because that is just logical!
Soviet BBs, Smolensk, Stalingrad, a big FU to players who have been grinding t10 ships for years. Stopped playing World of Warships because of this silliness. Kremlin has most hit points, best armor, best torpedo protection, best concealment. Immune to most cruisers. Ty Wargamming.
that's why i stick to tier 7 and tier 8 for more fun. Tier X right now is full of RU bias and there's no fun to play. US BB is nerfed to pathetic BB. Poor AA, slow flying bullet.... What's the point? IOWA became a joke to the non-existing Sov-SOyuz which get dismissed due to the poor production of thick steel armor from SOVIET? Give me a break...

"CVs are broken" lol, sure... Ever played one lately?
Redstones you shouldn't have trouble dealing with CVs then.
@Redstones If sail completely alone in any ship, you will get fucked. Be it from a cv or bb, sailing alone is stupid. If you wouldve stayed close to your team the carrier couldnt have done jackshit. Also you probably have been he spammed the whole time before which is why your aa was worse. And cv should still be able to deal some damage. Being completely immune to planes in most ships would be bs.
Kremlin is so armored and sitting so low.... One would say it is
ARMORED SURFACE SUBMARINE
Most Kremlins in ranked play it as a GK, they try to push very close and almost brawl, which gets them killed. If someone plays Kremlin like Flamu does here, he will be a major pain in ass.
I believe my tankiest game, I tanked over 5mil in a Bismark, in an uptiered X match. Was a while back; over a year. Did not do monster damage however, and was still one of the first half of the team to die, but held a flank for half the game essentially alone.
They should just give it smoke, radar and German secondaries.....
There is a somewhat fresh replay at Panzerknacker with Kremlin. You can see that the captain is mediocre at best and yet he stacks 406k dmg in this esence of cosmic idiocy ship.
So to summarize
Best armor - Kremlin
Best pen at >14km range : Kremlin
Best torpedo belt : Kremlin
Best turret traverse : Kremlin
Ruddershift + Concealment awesome as well.
Russian balance at it's finest.
Bu-but Russian bias isn't real!

@@shreygarg1224 also, the entire soviet BB line is kinda broken unlike the US BB line
youhyun nam >calling the Vladivostok and Soyuz OP. This is your brain on Russian Bias.
@@shreygarg1224 look at the NA numbers on the vladivostok and soyuz. They have the best winrate among tech tree BBs in every player group be it the entire playerbase, the top 50%, or the top 5%. I'd say that's pretty good proof that the soviet BB line is the best BB tech tree.
youhyun nam yeah stop using WoWs numbers to back up your data. It suffers heavily from sample bias. Newer ships = less games played = average higher stats due to lack of sample size. French BB’s occupied the exact same spots a year ago. It’s better to use isolated timeframes coming from data collected from the game client. Pretty sure there’s a tutorial on the forums somewhere on how to get the mod to get access to it, granted you know how to use a bit of console commands.

A smart conqueror, can easily violate a Kremlin
Tanky bias bois are weak to spicy british explody birbs
Do you know what's funny? These guns probably would have had such bad barrel life that a single wows battle would degrade performance to the point where they'd need to replace the barrels lol
Here me out, but irl barrel life was a big deal in gun design, and it's typically the case that guns with better initial performance have worse barrel life, but in game there's obviously no mechanic to reflect barrel wear so guns designed to have good barrel life are getting shafted here. Does anyone else think it might be interesting if all guns in game very gradually degraded in their performance the more shots they fired? But the bigger the gun, the more pronounced the effect was - and also ships with worse irl barrel life were hit more by this effect? This could be really interesting as it'd make certain ships better in the early game, and others better in the later game, and it'd overall make BB's less effective in comparison with other ships towards the end of the battle
Yeah, did something like that to other teams in ranked too. Ships that are OP before get even more OP with all the buffs. A Kremlin with 26 seconds reload...and everybody starts REEEEEing. You get away with stupid broadsides thanks to the armor layout. And then the shells...you fire at fully angled Stalingrads at 15 km and blap him for 10-12k damage. Just insane.
As an aside, in terms of "how high the ship sits out of the water", the usual naval term would be "freeboard".
Not that it matters, just thought you might like to know.
Cheers
IRL this ship would be a sub no where near enough free board to be see worthy
I quit the game but still enjoy your vids. Glad you're still enjoying the game and making good content.
Watching the whole video and after giving it some thought, i have to say i wholeheartedly agree with you. They should nerf Kremlins AA.
Comrade Spreadsheet: no soviet bias here. Just good ol' BALANS
At least Kremlim existed IRL,
opposite Smolensk. Oh wait ;-)
FWIW the distance from the waterline to the deck on a boat/ship is called the "freeboard".
7:42 Well it makes sense if you consider the small superstructure and the fact that the Kremlin sits so low in the water...
Me sitting in a Halland or Thunderer.... "Hey Kremlin, how many DCs do you have again?"
So I saw the title and while watching played my Kremlin in a ranked sprint match, I'm dead average with only 52% WR and 73K av/dmg and well at least for that one game it went pretty well but I kind of disagree with you on the bad dispersion at range because if the match I just played is any example I can say with certainty that I've seen better long range dispersion on my German BB's even before their dispersion was buffed.
I wish that WG would use historical deck thicknesses. BBs had 75-150mm decks. If they implemented that it would help with the HE spammers. We'd only have to worry about deck fires and overpens of the deck would never happen; which I think is stupid.
When Flamu said Kremlin is a Monster in ranked sprint, I laughed so much because potato players drive their Kremlins straight to the enemy thinking thier monster ship won't get hurt then they die.
Lols.😆😆
