Personally I found it better to use the AP on RN ships. Unless at max range, DD, or specific attempt to set fires. The AP just seems to perform so much better despite the weaker pen.
Mostly agreed. Situations where I go back to HE are hard targets (Atlântico), long range against BBs, although that's often not the best case anyway, permafire chances and DDs. Given that a lot of people seem to not be aware that you can change ammo types, I can see why these ships might struggle, similar to RM BBs going SAP-only
The second game was just epic. You just don't want to rush in against a British BB and ignoring her thinking she is just a paper tiger. The British AP actually punishes really hard if using it right. I once got an 8 citadel game in Monarch that I regretted not saving a screenshot. The other time I taught two pushing Izumi some lesson with my Lion (yes you read it right, Lion) by sinking them almost singled handedly (with some help of friendly Essex), hitting 4 citadels, farming 110k dmg out from them, within 3 minutes. Yet I agree that the higher tier of British BBs still needed some buff. For now Monarch is the pinnacle of that line. Lion is kind of underwhelming and Conqueror could barely be fun.
The KGV’s 14” guns got pens on Bismark which was armored against 15” specifically close in 15”. Despite what the wehraboos will say. I’m a German BB fan myself… but they were defeated and sunk not scuttled. Even if the Bismarks crew completed the scuttling process it was because they were going down anyway.
Can I recommend this article that probably goes into the greatest detail I have yet seen on Bismarck's armour, and the effects it had during the battle 🙂 www.combinedfleet.com/okun_biz.htm
Prince of Wales guns penetrated the Bismarck’s bow mate in the initial engagement, in the Denmark strait. This causing the oil leak that gave the Bismarck’s position away on more than one occasion. She only broke off due to the problems with the (at that time) new gunnery sighting systems on the KGV class. Yes she was scuttled probably, however the damage to her by the RN was so intense that she was rendered useles & a floating ruin. Take a look at the extent of her damage from the visits to her wreck site, it’s unreal. That ship could take so much punishment. 💪🏻
Well said mate, ‘boost the things that she’s good at’ so many do not. I really enjoy this ship. Quality AP & HE. AP performs better than you’d think, it’s very bizarre. KGV class ships had good armour, they was up-armoured, likewise with the Nelson & Rodney, so it’s very strange why they’ve been handicapped so.
Well, at the end of the day, they're game characteristics. German BBs are super tanky (even though e.g. Bismarck's armour layout was rather conservative at the time). USN BBs fire rapidly. French BBs are squishy & fast. British BBs are squishy & have great HE shells. AP used to be preloaded on them, but that's been changed a while back. The HE is good, but overlooking the AP, especially in closer quarters, costs a lot of potential damage.
The best game I had in the Monarch was a 70K game. I play my RN BB's with HE first, and as they get closer, then that is when I would switch to AP. The AP struggles at long ranges (if you hit something). The dispersion in my opinion is not meh, it's trash lol. It is kinda like Gneisenau dispersion. Armor is trash, but it's the way of the British BB.
I classify them as battlecruisers, actually, at least playstyle-wise. They can shine in fluid gameplay, and the AP works well at close to midrange. Keen to see what the 419mm can do at T9.
@@FunandGameswithTerry Makes sense considering their armor. Yea I feel they are not bad ships, but they can only shine when the conditions are perfect, like the German battlecruisers. From what I heard Lion isn't good. Maybe it's because of the armor, but the bigger caliber guns are maybe good. I am curious.
I love Monarch because she can teach Atlantico players a lesson By the way I got the Serov and got a 78K game with it your right you just have to be good at managing the squadrons.
I've got serov too , it feels like Japanese cv without fighters and if you choose alone targets without AA then you can get a decent damage in battle .
I figured that for regular CVs, coordinating strike wings is a bonus, for SU CVs it's a must, otherwise the plane losses just pile up. Still, if you're up against someone who can use fighters, expect to lose one wing on the way already.
Perfekt time for this Video I wont buy this ship in next time thank you. I search for a Video from Pan Asien tech tree Cruiser Tier8 and can not found.
I actually really like Monarch ...I have 175 battles wih her and 73 percent win rate , I enjoy the RR APCS in most situations. Can someone tell me what time to activate RR n Reload time so obt get annoying reading time add on .
The easiest way I've found (aside from doing the math, obviously) is to go into a training room, activate it at some mark, like 10s, and see how many seconds you have left when it times out. I usually add 1 or 2s for retargeting, so it also depends on how you play.

That Kansas was me playing as Warking
Nice! I had a mildly suicidal NC with me, otherwise I wouldn't have gone near that cap. Those guns are bad for my health 😂

Nice content like always
i m at kg5 and looking forward for this line 👌 👍
The crown jewel of the British BB line. I’m still on the QE but I will be there soon
I'm keen to see if the higher tiers got improved. Certainly not an easy line to play
@@FunandGameswithTerry definitely not
Damn, nice second game Terry!
When I don't get focused for a change 😉
Nice coincidence when I started to grind the hms bb line, I'm still at Queen Elizabeth lol
Keep it up,Queen Elizabeth is a beast
@@adzhanitristan6756 I'm still figuring out how to sail with her and her HE
@@dididikaaa just snipe from distance,and don't be alone if you want to brawl
British BB armour is almost non existent
My most favorite ship in world of warships and my top Atlantico killer. Burn everything down.
Sunk 100 Atlanticos in my name too Bro! 🙏😏👍
Yeah, when every other BB despairs with AP, RN BBs just shrug & change ammo type
I love Monarch because she can teach Atlantico players a lesson

Just unlocked KGV last week and really enjoy her
