There's winning, and then there's winning!.... Brilliant way to describe the fact that holding caps and using good strategy is better than doing over 100k damage!
And I learned something in the process - use HE against Smolensk in this thing XD The border between the two outer rings is an ideal BB position, since you can quickly switch, and if you hold both, you get more points than the centre. I need to make a video about this.
IDK. Haven't played Yamato enough to compare, but Yama has better range, which is significant for this playstyle imo, and the AA doesn't make a huge difference in T10, unless you're a USN cruiser with defAA up. It's not my style tbh, so I'm not likely to grind either, but you've seen what Yama can do to Kremlin, that 15k dmg salvo.
Hi Terry, firstly, congrats once again for 3k subs!!! But there are a few things I'd like to point out, you might have noticed that your turrets break a lot in her, that's actually because you run reload, the reload mod decreases reload by 5% while survivability of your guns is decreased by 25% so it causes your main guns to break a lot. And second, you did not push, this ship is meant to push and tank and be played at mid-range, the gimmick of the Ru BBs is that they are meant to push in hard, in the second game I think you should've pushed in with FdG. Thanks for the review Terry love your content as always!!!
Yes, I need to run the reload mod in slot 1 to get two salvos off with the precise aim active. There are ships that have sufficient turret armour to support this, Kremlin is kinda average in that regard. The alternative would be to take precision, and accept only one salvo with precise aim. She doesn't feel like an aggressive ship to me. Her armour is average, and she lacks manoeuvrability to dodge shells. German BBs can't manoeuver either, but they have the armour to tank till they get into secondary range. That said, I'll be happy to try a secondary-spec Kremlin (after a drink), the 130s aren't bad.
Everybody laughed at me when I got Conqueror as my 1st T10... Now I laugh as they burn! But on the video related note, I was wandering which BB line to do for "Classic BB" role. After Your review, I'm thinking Germans, they seem safe and noob friendly. I'm still quite the noob, because I literaly Beelined the British BB line. Now I'm making up for it. Trying to play a little of everything, on my way to next T10, to get into the mindset of ships I'm playing against. Current targets: Venezia,GK, Wooster and DD line, but I'm torn between Shima and Daring. (Got Gallant, and really enjoying it.)
I wouldn't say German BBs are noob-friendly. Especially in T9 and 10, it can get quite difficult, since both teams lean towards BB battles at max range, and a German BB needs to be at 7km to become effective. It takes correct timing, if you rush ahead in the beginning, you'll be either DD food or focused down. Between Shima and Daring, my personal goal is the latter. I find single-fire torps very effective, and she's an excellent gunboat on top. Alternatively, maybe try the Pan-Asians, so far I've loved every one of them.
Hey terry, saw you in the Yamato the other day and I thought we were getting a Yamato vid lol Btw, can you help tell the developers about a bug with the level 12 commander skill? I just got the “giant hunter” commander skill and tested it with my friend in a CV, and to my disappointment there isn’t any change in the damage numbers despite the skill stating “+1% damage to cruisers, +2% to BB, +3% to CV” Thanks
Cheers, I'll check that out. I think some other commander skills may be wonky as well. Yeah, that must have been when I sailed out in Yama by accident. I was wondering why the guns were better, and where my fourth precise aim had gone...
Courbet was fun. Bretagne was complete rubbish. Normandie, meh. Lyon has loads of guns, but laughably bad dispersion and penetration. But at least she's quick. We'll see how T8 behaves.
@@FunandGameswithTerry tier 8 is a small republic you are going to like it just shoot in angles 10 or 2 o’clock and at 9 secs (I think),use your fast reload...
Hey could you explain which is a better cruiser the Henri iv or Venezia I am trying to choose between these two but I don’t know which one should I buy any thought?
do you think Kremlin or GoBer Kurfurst is better? Also which is better Moskva or Hindenburg im asking for a perspective that i like to play in every range. I like to snipe and duel. kind so which crusier or battle do you think fit my description. It doesnt have to be the one i list but which crusier or battle ship do you recommend for my play style.
Personally, I prefer the Kurfürst. Kremlin has a long reload and poor range for the role, Yamato would be better suited for the long range play. Kurfürst needs to get into secondary range to be effective, which in tier 10 requires some map awareness. Something like Montana might be a good middle ground. I haven't played Moskva, but Hindenburg is awesome both at range and close up.
the reason why they didnt focus on making the soviet navy strong is because first of all they pooled their resources to tanks and planes (idk about the planes but ill mention them here) second of all they didnt need to since the us and the uk were destroying the german and japan navy by alot so they didnt really need to intervine and to me it was a good thing since they both have access to land borders of both japan and germany and didnt really need to invade via land (unless both was heavily defended and have to land somewhere else with the use of ships) Note: this is my opinion as to why soviets hardly made any ships and there could be a different reason why like running out of resources and stuff which is highly impossible
SAP has been reserved as a "gimmick" for the Italian cruisers. In reality, SAP ammos of some kind were much more common. But we don't get torps on WW1 BBs either :)
Well(NA server) blind fire occasionally I’m golden channel, that’s a little different though. You have a good idea of where people will come in at, if they’re playing properly and capping.
Republique is a more tried and tested ship This is still new to people so you won't be able to do as well in Kremlin as in repub Also repub is just plain stupid op lul
Hello Mr.Terry. One Question Question: If I put my commander from Leander to Agincourt (premium British Ship) then put same commander on Fiji will I have to pay gold for retraining. Please do answer. Thanks, yamato4 (Username World Of Warships Blitz)
You can transfer commanders in and out of premium (including black) ships without retraining, but not to another tech tree. In your example, the commander will remained trained on Leander when you move to Agincourt (it says below the portrait which ship they're trained on), and need retraining to go to Fiji.
Kremlin apparently being 263m long and having a displacement of 63k tons doesnt seem right According to PC, krem is the 3rd largest ship being 292m long, only midway and kurfurst are bigger than her I also heard her displacement is a little over 80k tons
She looks a bit smaller than I was expecting, but then again, there's not much known about projekt 24, since it never got past the proposal stage, and numbers vary widely.
2:40 min: Size is not all! You need the right technic to handle this caliber! Yesterday, I got the battle star because of the highest damage caused, most kills, most aircraft kills, and being the last survivor of my team. All I had was 4x2 towers of 152 mm against t8 and t9 ships. But we lose because the rest of my team sucks with their big guns… It was my first battle with over 70k damage caused on this ship. Also, it was my first time that I set a ship 7 times in fire and hot over 240 times with the main guns.
Massive calibre guns with very slow reload are often dependent on chance. Salvo out at 13km - either you get a citadel and score 10-15k dmg, or you get three bounces and a semi-pen for 1k. And have to wait almost half a minute to try again. That's why I prefer German BBs. The main guns are there to entertain me while I'm getting into secondary range, and then it's all cannons free. Meh main salvo? Who cares, I got 150mm AP to shred things with.
And the success of my light cruiser always depends on being not the chance. xD In the battle was also BBs with really strong HEs and the end with less than 30k Damage. I mean that really no good result even you are unlucky, or?
Good review... if I grind this line I ll get till t8 and stop.... My first task in battle is always hunt dds( bring me satisfaction... a lot lol)... cause I'm a cl ca player... and most the time this is what happen on higher rank battle... some player just grind and dont care about there roll situation... I can understand at low tier some confusing but at t8 and above if u are in there is no excuse.. However I think HE can work better lol... epicenter is a butthurt yep...
Well, to be honest, I don't have the blueprints to go through T9 and 10, because I kinda got sidetracked into the USN CLs, and the Roon grind is almost done. What I'm going to do to complete that series is to use the press account. Same premise - blind setup, first game and first impression. That has two advantages - you get to see the rest of it, and I don't have to spend my own resources to find out if I like those ships.
Yes. I'll be going through the upper tech tree tiers in my press account where I don't have them available privately, except for carriers, since I'm just not very good at them (yet)
@@FunandGameswithTerry great I'm working my way up the line towards it and I'm hoping it's not just more food for the frenchmen that infest high tier gameplay. Excellent video by the way.
Benham yes. With Shima reload, I probably wouldn't ;) There are scenarios where you can have some success with blind torps, especially as area denial. Epicentre is a good example, since it's rather predictable where the enemy team will be.
those HE spamming Smolensk and other cruisers in T10 will burn this monster into a crisp thats why not much players play in T10 unless youre in platoon with good players.
Smolensk is only dangerous if you let her live. "Kill on sight" target. I've seen her killed 2 minutes in, if the BBs on your team can actually be motivated to focus her. Same thing with Worcester, although she's easier to position than Smolensk.
Don't think there's a single one. It depends on what you like to play. T10 meta is rather campy, lots of BBs firing at max range, but the USN cruisers are pretty strong due to their utility, destroyers are popular... It also depends on the server. US, I see a lot more Montanas, Asia is heavy on the Yamatos.
My personal favourites so far are Mino and Des Moines. Next on my personal account is going to be Hindenburg, and I'm grinding up the Pan Asian DD line. British DDs have been amazing too so far.
Wow smolensk is so easy to kill in bb Yamato still a beast, just had a 147k game in it, citadel crisis on bow in monti included And republique is my fav hmm not sure bout this line.. 7-8 isnt keeper for skirmish and this is like mix of yamato and kurfürst Need to see guns with apcs See the freddie? Flank all game die 20k.. hate this noob flank
If my team had just focused Smolensk down, this whole affair would have been over quickly. But no, everyone enjoys letting themselves be burned down instead. It's not that there was even any fancy positioning involved. Oh and don't get me started on smoked up Smolensk. "Oh noes I can't see him he must not exist anymore where are all these fires coming from"... Smolensk is only dangerous if he's allowed to exist for the whole game. Get two BBs to focus him early, no more Smolensk.
As for the guns, they can do really well - I've done triple-citadels in Izumo, but can also just troll you - point-blank battle with Izumo, and they do almost nothing. I think she occupies the same space as Yama, but with worse armour and shorter range. Better precise aim skill. I pull about 80k in a good game. Personally, not a line I'll grind. The T6 maybe, she's hilarious.
@@FunandGameswithTerry got the premium commander out of crate on preview event.. if they dont get a dispersion/reload/penetration buff i might aswell use him for moskva -.- With that reload it also need elite bonus still no chance republique farm it i guess 😔

The border between the two outer rings is an ideal BB position, since you can quickly switch, and if you hold both, you get more points than the centre.
I need to make a video about this.
"Fine, ill do it myself"
Isn’t this just going to phase out Yamato players? Since it almost shares the same guns and the same citadel damage. And with even better AA?
IDK. Haven't played Yamato enough to compare, but Yama has better range, which is significant for this playstyle imo, and the AA doesn't make a huge difference in T10, unless you're a USN cruiser with defAA up.
