The IJN line is probably the toughest grind. Not because the ships are horrible but the lack of consistency in the play style in the tiers. The US BB lines are probably the best grinds in that regards. Once you get to NC, Iowa and Montana are basically the same ships in regards to play style. Same thing with the Vermont line.
Nah man Vermont line is not the best imo. It's a ship that punishes the player if not played right. Tho that's most ships, but because her line is slow one mistake can cost ya dearly. Tho her guns are amazing. I love bonking CVS and unsuspecting DDs #Verbonk
Schleiffen is prob my fav line. It’s a must get, especially if u enjoy Gneisenau. The sec guns are great & u can send torps everywhere w/8 torps on each side. As Slai demonstrated well, it can do ALOT of dmg.
German Battlecrusier line is alot of fun. Tier seven and Eight are tough. Prinz Heinrich is not a bad ship,she just needs a buff in few areas Tier 8 is more of a play style issue reminds me of the Roon in alotta ways. Tier 9 and and Ten are fun,but you kind of have hit and miss games,but always fun games. The unsung heros of the line von der tan and tier 5 there fun. Its a fun line,could use some buffs at some areas and at certain tiers also but its a good line. I kind hope The British Battlecrusier line is just as fun. Best free Battleship would have to be Iowa just a good all rounder in my view. Second for me is German tier 7 The lady G. 3rd place and ill get hate for it is Amagi. Amagi just works for me .
@justin3415 I actually like Amagi as well. Haven't played her in awhile with the turret bug. I wish WG would go on & fix that. Also, I. agree, I think the British battle cruisers will be fun as well. Looking forward to seeing em.
@@webius502 Yeah the turret bug is a pain,but from time to time it isn't to bad. The Amagi reminds me of Battlecrusier. Yes hopefully the New Battlecrusiers are good and its a good event also
i think a real sleeper in the brawler category is the Nagato. You have the biggest guns in the tier, you have a lot of secondries which are meh, but you have a crap ton, and you have armor that can almost rival the Colorado. Overall though, I love my Vittorio Veneto, Bismarck, and my Amagi
I never knew American bbs for armor. Maybe because I auto aim off and sometimes brawl them but could just be me. And I also love my Veneto, amagi, and Bismarck
Glad to see some Amagi appreciation. Speedy and accurate, she certainly punches above her weight. I rarely face players who keep her at range and angle away/retreat until the proper moment though, which may account for her middling reputation.
The Schlieffen line is awesome, with one exception - the Zieten was so painful I skipped it after a few battles and went straight to the Prinz Rupprecht which is an absolute blast. And it’s such a shame, because one of my all time favourite ships is the Odin, which is what the Zieten should be (maybe with the Zieten’s gun barrels , but with two front turrets and maybe without the GK’s autosecondaries).
Zieten teaches the importance of ship positioning (kiting) which serves well for the rest of the line. The line has bigger guns than Odin and more HP, so, I still think they offer a nice alternative
Prince Rupprecht is a really good T9. I use it in ranked a lot w/ Hipper. Nasty. I had a 4 kill 150k damage game a while back. Monty is good. The Iowa is ROUGH. I skipped over it. But I have a lvl 12 J. Olendorf w/ the Halloween camo on Monty👌🏻Monty really needs a DFAA 2 or 3
i honestly will say Schlieffen line is probably the hardest to grind in my opinion somewhat easy to pick up but hard to grind and get used to paper like armor and getting use to how they play, even though i got extremely lucky and pulled Prinz Rupprecht out of the pre release crate it's still rather hard and i would say Schlieffen line grind is probably more for the experience because of you needing to constantly look at the map and know where everything is and who you're facing and who is on your team. Grösser Kurfürst on the other hand is probably easier to pick up and learn and play. GK has the forgiving part going for her in terms of armor and health while Schlieffen is more for the high risk high reward. GK is a solid ship very good guns especially once you learn to not use auto aim on period but gk is also hard to master. I will say the hardest part of the gk grind isn't Friedrich Der Grosse but actually Bismarck is the hardest part of the grind because you got some good guns but they are lacking in sorts of way and feel a bit unpowered. Friedrich has gotten much much better since the gun buff to her and GK and yes I've revisited Bismarck and Friedrich. The Schlieffen grind odd ball is probably either Prinz Rupprecht or Schlieffen herself they reason why i say these two ships is because is the difference from the entire line where you got up to and including Prinz Heinrich which all have slower speed and a bit more armor and being able to slug it out where as Rupprecht and Schlieffen do not have that ability to slug it out, they can brawl yes but not slug it out and will sink under concentrated fire. Now Zieten on the other hand is unique and I find her to be good and found it to be a mix of between the tier 9 and ten and the tier 3 and tier 7
In my opinion French bbs are the best bbs in random battles. For me it was the most fun grind. Die Italian bb grind wasn’t that fun but I would recommend it for beginners over the French BBs because of the tankiness and the ability to smoke up.
@@Slai47 What is better for the Republic in the first slot, reload or presicion. Because with reload (i think) u can get a reload with something like 18s. At least it is like this with the Gascogne.
No one comments on high tier British Battleships 😢😢they have good HE...avg AA...with camo Conq shoots upto 15km... please take time to review High tier British Battleships from Mighty Monarch to Cool Conqueror...those techline ships need some love and the game of developers wont buff them... please review and share your thoughts
I actually put them in the CAs video because they are great ships really but you have to know when to use AP or HE. Big time. CCs have been suggesting buffs for a while
all t10 bbs are very good....even the worst lines like soviet and french get good at t10 the problem is that t10 is not balanced . not for a bb main anyway there are a dozen op ships that can wreck you in a sec .....jinan, shima, smolensk, malta, etc... and u will face quite a few in every single game its not the same in other tiers u would feel way more confident running any bb at t7 or t8 for ex....very few ships can hurt u quickly, and u do not necessarily run into them very often .
I really enjoyed the brushing battleships starting from tier 6 Vladivostok was a bit of a slog. But I think Soviet Union is a fine battleship at tier 9. It's really tanky if you stay nose in and it's guns are decent. It doesn't have the awesome secondaries that Kremlin does, but it's still pretty solid, especially compared to some of the other tier 9 battleships like Iowa, lion and FDG
Hey, Slai. What is your favorite tier ten battleship in your opinion? I finished the Yamato and Gk grind and am not sure what ship to get next. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I've been trying to get French Lyon 😢 it's been years 😂
@@moRaaOTAKU The French BB line and me don’t get along so I don’t even think about it.

Schlieffen is a blast of a ship line. The tier 7-8 were rough but the 9-10 are fantastic

Fully agree with what you said about Montana. I have over 3 mil xp on it, 64% WR. It very good, forgiving and overall a great allrounder BB.
In the Colombo line,the tier 7 is absolutely painful but from the Vittorio Veneto and on are great(also 3:49 "Al-sase")
Yeah, t7 was a pain on the Italian BB line. The Vittorio is much better.
Glad to see some Amagi appreciation. Speedy and accurate, she certainly punches above her weight. I rarely face players who keep her at range and angle away/retreat until the proper moment though, which may account for her middling reputation.
Yeah, her rep is bad from bad players. The meta doesn't help though

@@Oshawott5
Well, I can only say I loved the Mackensen, Prinz Heinrich and the Prinz Rupprecht, but the Zieten not so much.
@@kardy12 sure, it definitely feels like an odd duck, but i still found it capable. I understand why people don’t like it tho
I actually liked Zieten. Was it as consistently good as Heinrich? No. But it's fun. And the rapid reload main guns in a brawl are heaven
As a major BB player, I totally agree with this list
Prince Rupprecht is a really good T9. I use it in ranked a lot w/ Hipper. Nasty. I had a 4 kill 150k damage game a while back.
Monty is good. The Iowa is ROUGH. I skipped over it. But I have a lvl 12 J. Olendorf w/ the Halloween camo on Monty👌🏻Monty really needs a DFAA 2 or 3

I agree with Alsace she's just a monster at putting out damage
Mackensen and Prinz Heinrich lost their 360 D turret in 6.3 so they are pretty rough now.
Let me check if that isn't a bug
@@Slai47 that would be appreciated.
What's the verdict?
In my opinion French bbs are the best bbs in random battles. For me it was the most fun grind. Die Italian bb grind wasn’t that fun but I would recommend it for beginners over the French BBs because of the tankiness and the ability to smoke up.
French BBs are a great line. 8+ are fantastic

@@_Tomainia It doesn't help you get another shot off so run dispersion
Everytime i feel matchmaking letting me down i took out Alighieri or Orion just to wreck havoc at low tier 🤣

That Schliffen gameplay though 🔥 🔥🔥
It was such a good game
all t10 bbs are very good....even the worst lines like soviet and french get good at t10
the problem is that t10 is not balanced . not for a bb main anyway
there are a dozen op ships that can wreck you in a sec .....jinan, shima, smolensk, malta, etc...
and u will face quite a few in every single game
its not the same in other tiers
u would feel way more confident running any bb at t7 or t8 for ex....very few ships can hurt u quickly, and u do not necessarily run into them very often .

Hey, Slai. What is your favorite tier ten battleship in your opinion? I finished the Yamato and Gk grind and am not sure what ship to get next. Any thoughts? Thanks.
My favorite right now is Kremlin but can't suggest it. So Schlieffen or Colombo
Thank you
Lyon 3 players on VC is so much fun 48 guns flying. Did it the other day because I hadn’t in so long
You hate The Showboat?! I have the Atlantico and STILL enjoy playing my North Carolina. You're nuts, man!
(Really enjoyed this Best Free series, BTW.)
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, like Hindy line, the Monty line and I don't get along well
Did u do one for cruisers? If not can u make one please ty
Alabama is a fantastic sniper too
Hey #slai47
Video suggetions
Best ships for tier Ranked (can also be Best ships at every tier every class)
Please make a video about auto- aim off's tips and tricks. I have kremlin issue😢
Cap cap cap the lava.
Bro wtf? Orion nukes DDs in 1 salvo just fine.
I didn't get that impression all the time
