My first ever game in Azuma was hilarious. I ended up brawling a Yamato, and was able to time his salvos to start turning in whenever he was about to shoot. It left most of his shells in the water as I charged him and rammed for the win. Rudder shift on Azuma is actually just really good for survivability in the current meta versus fire prevention mod.
@@sirdancealot2645 yoshi is a beast icl, i use it with a seasoned commander cus it gives it the extra HP buff in the commander skills boosting its HP up to 70k (with signal). AP slaps and so does the HE ofc, it tanks relatively well too especially 406s and below as long as you angle correctly
But in Asia, when you see Azuma/Yoshino in team, especially those who use range mod, 90% of the times it will be loss for the team. Always sits on >15km, never shoot DD, and always the first one running away whenever they see big guns (which basically almost all T9+ BB) even though they are not even charging at/attacking those Azuma
Its the ship with the least impact on the game. She will run away if something just touches her and she is completely useless. The only thing it can do is spam HE at maximum range. Plus, she's terribly boring to play.
Hey PQ, can you do a video on how the economy of World of Warships works? Especially on topics such as earning Base XP and others? I don't believe a video of that nature has been featured on your channel.
Wouldnt mind seeing the Thunderer or even the Conq . interested to see them actually played by someone that knows what they are doing and not just mindlessly slinging HE permanently
I am playing Agir with the heavy AP, and it is phenomenal, only thing missing is range. I got the ship in one of the Christmas containers during the Scharnhorst '43 event around the New Year. So I am not complaining, FREE ship is a FREE ship.
Fun fact: although the Azuma was never built, the US Navy got so worried about this class of ships that they designed & built the Alaska class to fight them.
Kind of the US built the Alaska's (Designed to counter things like the Graff Spree/"pocket battleships" because they had rumours and thought the Japanese were building the Azumas.. the Japanese never actually built them or even issued contracts to start production... In the event all the japanese cruisers were sunk before the Alaska "cruiser killers" could be built...
Between Agir and Azuma, I'd rather take my Azuma to battle, just because her guns are reliable. My Agir has been gathering dust ever since I got Siggy, just because Siggy is a flat out better Agir. That all being said, if I'm going to take a large cruiser out, I'm taking Alaska...
I have agir and azuma and yoshino but no alaska;( gotta say azuma is better like waaay better agir sucks it is bigger then bismarck/tirpitz/brandenburg and guns and armor are trash imo so id rather azuma for t9. Also i get better performance out of brandenburg then agir lol its so funny..
I think you can supplement HE alfa for fires on DDs and light cruisers. On ships like the Azuma though, I do agree with you. Had the Azuma had HE alfa like the Ägir does, it would likely not perform as good as it can as it is now.
Ah yes, Azuma the first Generation Battlecruisers. Like her rivals, Alaska and Stalingrad. Yes, I’ll call Alaska and Stalingrad a Battlecruiser. Fight me.
I got the azuma not too long ago. I usually have fun playing her, the experience isn't always the best cuz I'm not all too good with positioning but when I make it work it's a real blessing to have 29% fire chance with big alpha. Lobbing them high explosive melons into DDs faces is fun, just not for them.
I played Azuma in the tier nine 1v1 brawl and I smashed a bunch of Agirs and the others and I rarely lost. It is a strong ship for that. I did play one match against a Alaska and it destroyed me though so it seems like it is the best maybe
This is my favourite target to shoot at. It just eats shit. And its playstyle is boring af. Glad i didnt miss out on Alaska, the best large cruiser by far.
yamamoto is trash as far as commanders are concerned not very good skills and requiring a kraken is ridiculous most other nations have a condition they can activate quite easily and the Japanese only get a first kill and kraken which is ridiculous

One great thing about this ship, it does print credits.
Azuma is the Alaska for Zao players who want to reduce their winrate further.
I absolutely love Yoshino though. A total pain to deal with if you know what you are doing lol. Because I have a Yoshi, I never needed an Azuma...
As a Zao player, I'm sold!
@@sirdancealot2645 I just love yoshino/azuma in Wisconsin/ Vincent. Its just free food.

I have both and they are both good ships for sure ⚓ Good and honest review of them.

Same in NA from my experience. They might as well be AFK.

Guess im the anomaly who sticks less then 15km most of the time
Survivor bias. You're going to blame them for not doing anything because they're probably alive at the end of the match and you aren't.
@Posilepton 💯 right ! They rushed in got killed than trolled chat all game, lol if you get sunk go back to port or don't troll chat !

I really like these videos, ranking ships and giving suggestions.

Alaska is highly overated, Agir better

the first premium ship I bought. just enjoying this ship since I got it.
I really want to get an Azuma but my memory of being a Yoshino/Azuma hunter keeps stopping me from purchasing.

were can i find that compass you have showing both ships? you have it on your left down corner
Blind shot that got you at the end there - pretty impressive from the Slava, potentially if you'd jinked a bit more you would have lived.
Nice video !!! Thank you !!!!
The hardest thing to do in azuma is not fall asleep while playing it
14:00 as long as our teammates back us up. meanwhile they go long way being useless xD
Ah yes, Azuma the first Generation Battlecruisers. Like her rivals, Alaska and Stalingrad.

WHY do people let themselves burn like the position you're in at 2:50 just so they can waste a heal on it?????????

Just got azuma from azur lane the al azuma and honestly she is a sweet ship for my playstyle she suprisingly does well against uptier aswell
Wouldn’t mind seeing Hyuga
Coal ships are fine, but what about the Maya? 👉👈
So ……….. no need for Yoshino if I already have azuma?
New to the channel, have we done Worcester yet?
16:41 36 more than you need
Day 39 waiting for Patrie secondary build.
Coal ships only
@@skewz "Beatings will continue until morale improves"
Oh its litterally the schliefen with no pen dont ask how i know...
Here let me help you out. It’s terrible. It sucks. Don’t do it
@@shipness (I don't care I wanna see PQ play it)
I got the Azuma by accident.... I can't aim at 16km and such :(
Bruh skill issue....
@mertc8050 ...you don't say... xP
Azuma or Agir? Which would you say is stronger overall?
It feels like PQ is more lighthearted with this game recently, thats good. Also, CV when ?
"You died." :D
The real question is should I shell out the 170 bucks for Tsurugi
nah she aint that good plus shell come out later they just suing fomo again
No.
nope
Yes
Day 7 de grease he only
It's a money maker!!
Azuma's problem is that Yoshino exists.
Secondary flandre
My luck is shit on this ship
Day 1 waiting for another Edgar video
Yoshino, definitely though you need to know how to max her strength. Azuma, not nearly so much the worth.
I swear Azum ais better than it used to be
This is my favourite target to shoot at. It just eats shit.
And its playstyle is boring af. Glad i didnt miss out on Alaska, the best large cruiser by far.
Day 18 of asking PQ to play on Helena
Day 23 asking fro some Amagi greatness...
I don't have Azuma but Yoshino somehow turned into garbage
yamamoto is trash as far as commanders are concerned not very good skills and requiring a kraken is ridiculous most other nations have a condition they can activate quite easily and the Japanese only get a first kill and kraken which is ridiculous
AGINCOURT NEXT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!
Day 7 of waiting for the USS Texas
Day 9 of asking PQ to play San Diego in Ranked
Day 18 waiting for Paolo Emilio
