    I got this a few days ago in a crate. I picked citadel protection for the odin while I picked the secondary range in the Bismarck.

      🥴Yep, I expect Wargaming is trying hard to lose their player base every time they introduce yet another overpowered, overpriced premium ship! I've wasted almost $100 buying a premium acct every month for $11.99 at a time. But I'm NOT going to spend $59.99+ for ANY of these top tier premiums. That leaves me(and the other 80% of players) stuck with tech tree ships we WASTED time grinding, only to get shredded by premium ships like this one, or Roma.
      I just had another disastrous Epicenter battle where an Odin player just cruised straight up our right side, and I tried to stop him with my Monarch. I was in HE due to destroyers, so I decided to burn him down. I angled so severely while kiting away from him that I had to turn slightly each reload just to get all my guns on him. I fired probably 6 main gun salvoes and 2x as many secondaries, but didn't start so much as 1 single fire!! My mains were only doing 503 damage per hit! I have tier 4 cruisers who's guns do 503 damage, but fire 3x faster!
      He killed me and still had half his health left over to kill 2 other of our ships, for 90,000 damage! So apparently Odin is immune to fire, and can easily take out tech tree ships while suffering minimal damage.
      😠That's not even to mention the issue with NEVER being rewarded XP from ship missions, and despite dozens of screen shots proving it, their support people don't even acknowledge my support tickets! I've bought my last month of premium time, and I'm one BIG STEP closer to deleting this PAY TO PLAY game! It's time for a negative review, which is the ONLY way to get their goddamned attention!

    She’s more of a fast battleship over a battlecruiser. Mainly because she is quite tanky with that Krupp armor and can brawl like a battleship. Plus she has great speed so yeah a fast battleship that looks fun as hell to play! 😄

    • @FunandGameswithTerry
      @FunandGameswithTerry  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah, the definitions are a bit fluent. The main point of distinction for me is that she has a lower health pool, and good incentive not to set her up for armour, but secondaries. Also her acceleration allows you to dodge torps like you would in a cruiser. Tirpitz I'd play at 5km, this one at 7.

      Just got Odin in my life. Only played 2 trial AI games to figure out which equipment to throw on her, figured I’d look into some reviews as well. The secondaries reload is a bit long but I’m thinking the main belt for elite bonus. Thinking accelerate and maybe speed for 2 and 3 equip slots. I think a few more knots may benefit me more then the turn time. I’m fairly happy with the stock turn. We’ll see. I know it’s AI but my first game was 100k dmg 2 kills lol
      Only play AI for new bare ships to see how I want to go, or to get a feel for the ship if it’s drastically different then what I’m playing. Of course that’s what the kids okay too I won’t let them into random.

  • @dcameron902
    @dcameron902 3 роки тому

    I was so confused listening to you say the guns are 56 calibers in length. So upon my research I found that it does make sense. The US navy would measure its barrel length by a multiplier of the barrel caliber. So a 305mm L/56 has a bore of 305mm and a length of 17,080mm (56×305).

    • @mpetersen6
      @mpetersen6 3 роки тому +1

      However is that the effective barrel length (end of chamber to end of barrel) or from the breech face to the end of the barrel. As a side note the Baby Babylon the Iraqis were building in 1990 was a 300/305-308. Yah, 308 calibers long. I have no idea just how they expected to aim the 1000mm version. Maybe distort the barrel along with varying the propellant charges. It's a good thing it never got built. Before I retired I worked for a company that builds, repairs and services featuring centrifuges for waste treatment and othe uses. When they brought me in for the interview the first thing I thought of was Saddam's gun projects. The main body of the machine is a stainless steel tube anywhere from 150mm to 760mm inside diameter. And here I had thought lab centrifuges when I did the on line job application. They tried to talk me into sticking around but it was time to go.

Or Wargaming wants your money for something else..... I’m gotta stick with Tirpitz because what’s the point of getting a other Tier 8 German Premium Battleship like the Odin were you already have Tirpitz or should get Tirpitz. Well if you payed Real Money for a good Premium Tank or Ship and it’s get nerf because it’s op or Broken everyone or few people are gotta be mad or piss and they want a refund, This and this and it comes a mess or you payed real money for buying that Premium tank or Ship to keep the Servers going and keep the game going and bring new players to the game.

    Terry, this is a paper tiger. I crush Odins regularly, now that they have come out, and everybody has one.
    You forgot to mention a small detail. They can’t do the only thing a battleship is designed for. Hitting targets at long range with giant guns while deflecting or absorbing huge amounts of punishment.
    When I see an Odin in my REGULAR, FREE, Bismarck, at a distance of 8-13 kilometers, i see a victim,! Lol. I take out the knife and fork and put out the good silverware cause it’s dinner time. They know it and start running for their lives (the smart ones, the stupid or blind ones just disintegrate under the weight of [let’s say I 2 miss2] 6 hit out of an 8 shot salvo which will claim 1500 HP per shot (not counting the lucky citadel) x 6 = no more Odin.

      @FunandGameswithTerry  3 роки тому +2

      Odin is a battlecruiser. She's fast, manoeuvrable, and has an incredible damage output at 7km. Going up against a Bismarck is obviously a tough fight, but I'd wager that an Odin can dodge most of Bismarck's long-range fire. I would probably fire HE, since I don't think the 305s are going to do much, and the 128mm auto-secondaries have a reload of 4s and a fire chance of 2%. Combine that with the excellent torp angles, and Bismarck will never see more than an angled Odin.
      I'm not saying Odin or Bismarck are more powerful - it comes down to the captain, and for me, that's the beauty of it. Odin isn't invincible by far - rush out into a crossfire, and she just melts away. I still have my Bismarck around, and my Tirpitz, and I love them dearly :)

      Forgive me brother Terry, I forgot to mention the other thing it CANNOT DO for which Battleships are designed. AND! If the last statement was just a joke, then this one, as a historian, as a US Army Combat Veteran [1st Special Forces/2nd Battalion, Headquarters Support Company, Signal Detachment] and a World Of Warships lover...I. Want to tell u that u have a military mind.
      (I got into playing the game because I kept noticing my colleagues using the graphics from WoW as teach tools/props for lessons both formal and informal, and it is shockingly accurate, I will write to u concerning this if u want to hear it)...
      ...IT CANNOT TAKE A BEATING!!! WoW has gone weak!!!
      Until the obscene Treaty of Versailles was imposed upon Germany, German CAPITAL SHIPS WERE DISTINGUISHED BY THEIR ARMOR! PROTECTION! AND RESILIENCE.
      During all of the Battle of Jutland, EVEN WHEN JELLICOE HAD CROSSED SCHEER’S T WITH THE ENTIRE F-ing British grand fleet!! And even when SCHEER’S line-of-battle bucket under the murdered hail of shell fire, NOT 1 ship could be sunk!
      Even after the German finished running the gauntlet after being cut of from their Home Ports, Not one ship was sunk.
      And even after a full after action review was done (AAR) and it was determined that the Battlecruiser [take note a battlecruiser not ship!] Seyslitz was beyond repair and would be scuttled,
      IT WAS STILL AFLOAT EVEN THEN!!!
      This Odin, is purely fake and artificial.
      My brother, let’s reason together, why would the vaguely Type-O class based Battlecruiser (stated as such by the designers and the Kriegsmarine) which were meant as capital ships by anyone’s designation (most especially the first allied warship they would have met in open water!) Siegfried, Is LISTED IN WoW under the cruiser designation? Really? 35,000 ton, ~250 meter long, 38.0cm SK/ C34 swinging cruisers....ok.
      But the Odin is a Battleship?
      And the Agir?
      WORSE!!! They want $60 for this premium ship!
      My Bismarck setup is plagiarized from your video with small changes, which is to say a secondary build, for one I have a Bismarck specialty...
      [my Admiral von Hipper drives the Gneisenau which is something u have to experience! But he doesn’t have to!!! If u know what I mean 👿]
      Furthermore, I alternate that setup, by pairing the +10% to secondary battery range u recommend, with +20% acceleration
      [or +10 to steering which I actually think I have on now]
      and +5% speed,
      With the Secondary/Air-defense build whenever one of my friends or members of my fleet intends to use a aircraft carrier, and I know it in advance.
      Slot 1: +5% secondary range/+7% large
      and small AA guns range.
      Slot 2: this time only Accelerator*
      Slot 3: +10 AA large and small.
      This allows me to:
      • position my self so that the enemy aircraft will either have to fly over me to attack the carrier (lol, this is the best!).
      • let’s me and the carrier provide “inter-locking air-defense” to each other not with AA, but he intercepts for me, and I AA him.
      • I picket destroyers for Her! Actually! In my fleet.
      • allows me to still fully engage the enemy with my main battery, while maneuvering freely against destroyers (largely on your recommendations).
      •. And finally there is always the “lucky” fool who “broke through” our lines and made a dash for our carrier!!!
      “Yay! I win the fool said...” before IT, happened. Do I even have to explain.
      * Do not get suckered into taking the +10% to small AA range this is a sucker bet. Stay away from it!

    Forgive me brother Terry, I forgot to mention the other thing it CANNOT DO for which Battleships are designed. AND! If the last statement was just a joke, then this one, as a historian, as a US Army Combat Veteran [1st Special Forces/2nd Battalion, Headquarters Support Company, Signal Detachment] and a World Of Warships lover...I. Want to tell u that u have a military mind.
    (I got into playing the game because I kept noticing my colleagues using the graphics from WoW as teach tools/props for lessons both formal and informal, and it is shockingly accurate, I will write to u concerning this if u want to hear it)...
    ...IT CANNOT TAKE A BEATING!!! WoW has gone weak!!!
    Until the obscene Treaty of Versailles was imposed upon Germany, German CAPITAL SHIPS WERE DISTINGUISHED BY THEIR ARMOR! PROTECTION! AND RESILIENCE.
    During all of the Battle of Jutland, EVEN WHEN JELLICOE HAD CROSSED SCHEER’S T WITH THE ENTIRE F-ing British grand fleet!! And even when SCHEER’S line-of-battle bucket under the murdered hail of shell fire, NOT 1 ship could be sunk!
    Even after the German finished running the gauntlet after being cut of from their Home Ports, Not one ship was sunk.
    And even after a full after action review was done (AAR) and it was determined that the Battlecruiser [take note a battlecruiser not ship!] Seyslitz was beyond repair and would be scuttled,
    IT WAS STILL AFLOAT EVEN THEN!!!
    This Odin, is purely fake and artificial.
    My brother, let’s reason together, why would the vaguely Type-O class based Battlecruiser (stated as such by the designers and the Kriegsmarine) which were meant as capital ships by anyone’s designation (most especially the first allied warship they would have met in open water!) Siegfried, Is LISTED IN WoW under the cruiser designation? Really? 35,000 ton, ~250 meter long, 38.0cm SK/ C34 swinging cruisers....ok.
    But the Odin is a Battleship?
    And the Agir?
    WORSE!!! They want $60 for this premium ship!
    My Bismarck setup is plagiarized from your video with small changes, which is to say a secondary build, for one I have a Bismarck specialty...
    [my Admiral von Hipper drives the Gneisenau which is something u have to experience! But he doesn’t have to!!! If u know what I mean 👿]
    Furthermore, I alternate that setup, by pairing the +10% to secondary battery range u recommend, with +20% acceleration
    [or +10 to steering which I actually think I have on now]
    and +5% speed,
    With the Secondary/Air-defense build whenever one of my friends or members of my fleet intends to use a aircraft carrier, and I know it in advance.
    Slot 1: +5% secondary range/+7% large
    and small AA guns range.
    Slot 2: this time only Accelerator*
    Slot 3: +10 AA large and small.

      I generally don't build specifically for AA, since that build is mostly for divisions, and I like ships to be general purpose. I've got a video plan on the shortlist to do a full AA build on the Des Moines (why not Worcester? Because DM is a tick sturdier, and I'm planning on chasing planes without getting blapped), but not on my personal account :)
      I really prefer fire prevention on higher-tier German BBs over the acceleration module. Once they move, and the path is layed out, I rarely stop anyway, and I do tend to be on fire (a lot) - anything British that isn't a cruiser, anything American that is, carriers, the works.
      Getting back to Odin - battleship, battlecruiser, meh. It's a just a classification at the end of the day. The armour holds up well enough that you can take on more than one ship at a time, and (again, purely for gameplay reasons) I think the low health pool and slow reload on the mains actually balance her frankly ridiculous secondaries quite nicely. Playing Odin in a bottom tier game is a challenge. At the end of the day, it's still an arcade game, albeit with a nice historical touch, so my expectations are levelled accordingly, unlike if we were talking about a full-realism simulation game.
