This is a great video and really useful, thanks. I definitely agree stuff could be taken away and it would still be an awesome ship. I think it must be just "skill issue" because I have like 60+% win rate in Daring and Gearing but I've only played about 20 battles in this but found it hard to make an impact, mostly because I just didn't know how it should be played, like what range I should be fighting other dds at. I guess the only question for me is the concealment but I'm gonna give the build a try, cheers. Yeah it's funny when you mention the torps at the end compared to Halland. I mean logically they should upgrade the Halland torps (the supposed torp boat) but I'm not holding my breath.
I think the only reason Gdansk gets a pass from this playerbase is it is significantly harder to play than the other OP gunships like Smaland Ragnar Lushun etc. And there are definitely games (low dds, lost of radar cruisers) where you struggle a lot more than other gunboats do.
Another vid idea is to discuss the mods you use and how they inform your decisions in game. Love the content and can’t get enough! Thanks for helping us nooobs
@@hagostaeldmann I am, at least I think so? I don’t know much about them and I’m sure there are others like me who would benefit from an explanation on their usefulness. Just a thought 👍
i remember when they were tuning this ship, it was the first time i was experiencing dream like fever "are you sure you want marceau DPM on a radar gunboat ?" "the game is so over when they release that shit, it HAS to become the giga meta" "really ? you're buffing the torps on that gunboat ?" "how is taking AP away going to help ? sure you wont turbo farm BB/cruisers but that doesn't solve shit" that was the time i realised that the testers must overall be pretty dogshit at the game second time was watching wisconsin get untouched through testing some ships are really only held back by how dumb the playerbase is
like just compare the gdansk to Z52, the OG cap bully who has dogshit DPM even for the time and needs to run at you so it can hydro trap if you have the support, you could just not smoke and shit on him Gdansk tho, he just wait passively near the cap, you enter, he laugh and start blasting you with marceau DPM
i'm convinced the reason it doesnt have ap is they copypasted mogador guns and actually were unable to make the ap bad, and they (rightfully) realized if this thing had french ap that would be bullshit
Haven't played this car a whole lot. I think the only reason I don't like this thing is because I'd rather just be playing Smaland in almost every situation, Gdansk is just too much of a bus for me to like it. It's far from the best T10 DD for that reason alone. I will try this build though, never really thought about it that way.
tbf I don't have Smaland. I would argue Gdansk is actually better vs DDs and at HE farming BBs than Smaland...but Smaland is better at everything else and overall better.
@@hagostaeldmann Gdansk is the 4th largest DD in the game and the gun angles are terrible. I would actually say that Smaland is better against DDs with the heal, the stupid engine boost and the significantly smaller hull. If you run into a Gdansk, you're going to lose some health and not be able to take the cap. If you run into a Smaland, you better hope you're in something like a Kléber or you're just dead. As for farming BBs, Smaland has more DPM and the same fires per minute and AP if needed. The arcs might be worse but you still take AFT for a reason.
Both can solo play very easily if played right and both r difficult to play if u haven't played other dds before that's it both r same actually Gdansk is a Mogador with radar literally
Great content, great reviews, good vids on the how and why which so many of us need.
Please play the druid. Would love an in-depth explanation on how it so effectively shits on every dd in the game. And why people think it's bad.
I'll be getting to it at some point

appreciate it, thanks. Are you referring to the modstation/aslain's mods?

Dude, your video saves me from giving up this ship!
Next step is to release an even more broken ship and say "it's balanced because it can die if 12 players focuses it at the same time"
if it cant 1v12 it's weak...unless its a cruiser or torpedo ship that is, it's ok for those to be weak
Yeah my skill is lacking with this ship, I haven't played in a few months and think my destroyer skills have slipped.

Legends is getting this dd by the end of the year as a new bureau project.. 💥💥💥
hoping you have Småland..
Gdansk or Marceau, which one is better for solo random play?
Both can solo play very easily if played right and both r difficult to play if u haven't played other dds before that's it both r same actually Gdansk is a Mogador with radar literally
Haha “played two, took a shit, played a third!”
Looked like you where shitting on quite a few things in all those games as well!
I was trying to get halland bcs i think its a decent one,thx to gdanks its obsolete now.
halland might be the single lowest impact tier 10 dd in the game...hard to think of one with overall less battle impact.
@@hagostaeldmanndelny that's easy
how about against a Sherman?
Why play Delny or Khaba now that Gdansk exists ?
why indeed. why play delny or khaba with gdansk, regolo, or a ton of other gunboats that are in the game
Khaba u can play delny no not even if it can take u from hell to heaven u don't play delny
