I have actually really enjoyed the ship, if you managed to get lucky or got the new pirate commander, it works really well on this ship. I believe it pen is also a lot higher or decently higher then Kutuzov with it's AP. You did knock out a Flandre turret at 12 km, and I myself with the pirate commander who has Piercer and punch through, have citadeled some BB, reliably at 12-13 km, and some cruisers up to 15 km. For inspos I run Lutjens and Reigerwald to maximize the AP Damage along with the Pirate commander.
THAT’S where it happened. I referenced taking out a BB’s guns late in the video, but I must’ve missed pointing it out when it happened in the game. Thought it was a different match. But yeah. It did take out the turret. I don’t know how on earth it managed to. I wouldn’t expect that to be a regular thing.
If they made it have short fuzed ap is would be worth it cuz the over pens are pretty much a big reason not to have this ship. Having a plymouth with less barrels and better trajectory would be far more tantilizing
Yeah if I want an AP only and lightly protected CL with smoke I think I am gonna stick with my Plymouth. Better dpm and better performance against DDs.
US T7+ BBs have the best BB dispersion in the game. That Iowa was embarrassing. He didn't land one single hit until the very last minute of the match. It's not like you were even zigging and zagging, just parked in the cap. I've absolutely no idea how he managed to grind to T7 and yet still play like that... As for the ship... pass. Why play this when Plymouth exists or Kutuzov when AL Chapayev exists. If it were a T7 Kronshtadt/Stalingrad, it'd be worth it.
What are you talking about, Iowa has 1.8 Sigma which, even though it has USN dispersion, means it’s statistically worse than ships like Bismarck etc Sorry to bust your balls but Iowa and Missouri in particular have inconsistent accuracy
You really must be an exception because every time a player is stupid in my games, it's a freaking PlayStation player. You PlayStation people need to get your game together. Wtf
Personally I believe the ship should have eight kilometer torpedoes
I agree. I’m pretty sure Kutuzov has 8km torps. Why this one doesn’t is beyond me.
@Xarkun I'll bet you a cup of coffee within a year there will be a buff to the torpedo range
Thanks for showcasing the Poz. Haven't decided yet on this or Dupleix but was leaning towards this one (really like the camo). GG👍
I need to play Dupleix more. But from what I’ve played of it, I really like. I think it’s a strong T5.
@@Xarkun any new perspective on that Xarkun? 😊 video out?

The perfect accompaniment while I'm putting fucking IKEA furniture together
I use the lip as one of my inspirations
Have you tried running VOn Essen as an Inspiration to help with the Pen Angles?
No, but I will. If I had been, I doubt it would’ve helped me sink the Iowa. Make the ricochets on the DDs would’ve been pens though.
@@Xarkun run Andrew the lip as your commander and von essen/riegerwald as inspirations. Game changer!!
It’s an awesome ship. Use Andrew the Lip too enhance its damage. The smoke screens are terrific.
Hope you had a great Christmas, and here’s to a bright New Year for everyone, m’Lord ! Long may your light shine 😊
I got duplex because i already have Plymouth and Hampshire and all the other Russian light cruisers like al chappy and pbag and many others
Without HE you have no ability to get dot aside from the torpedoes which in their current state are strictly defensive
Are we going to ignore that he knocked out a Flandre's turret with 152mm cruiser guns ☠️

its a bug that happend with ap ammo sometimes.... i citadel a ohio with my minotaur at 15km
also citadel a tenesse with a emerald lol
You will get full value with Lip. This ship is a menace with Lip.

Plymouth’s AP also just seems really cracked. It does more damage than this stuff in my experience.

I know. I was baffled by it. And the entire time I was just thinking “if only I had HE, he’d be dead so quick.”
Yeah this should is very underwhelming in it's current state. I would take Plymouth or Hampshire every single time.
What are you talking about, Iowa has 1.8 Sigma which, even though it has USN dispersion, means it’s statistically worse than ships like Bismarck etc

this ship is nasty
I kinda want, but no he........thats a detriment.
You really must be an exception because every time a player is stupid in my games, it's a freaking PlayStation player. You PlayStation people need to get your game together. Wtf
This ship is so garbage without Andrew the lip.
Skill issue
