I have the Hawke, I am using Fisher with AL Scharnhorst and Andrew Cunningham as inspirations as well as AL Hood with Cunningham and Emile Guepratte as an alternative. But I got to ask, how well is she for the British battlecruiser line?
The Hawke is good. I have ran into so many BB's that have shot my 32mm side plating which a saving grace. I have had so many near death experiences while playing this ship. I love how hard the AP hits however I don't enjoy being smacked around by most tier 7 battleships with 15 inch guns and above. Nice work mate
I forgot to mention in my last comment. The AP pen angles on the Hawke feel terrible when trying to go through the side plating of BB's. Does the BC's have the same pen angle's as the UK BB line?
Problem with this build on other ships is that every other British battleship has ATROCIOUS turret traverse base. Conq, monarch, etc. all have around a 52 second turret traverse at full health. So while the traverse can get better over time with dance with death, you struggle otherwise. I switch out AL Colorado with Kedrov. You don’t lose too much reload and accuracy, and every other British battleship becomes way more comfortable to play with the build. Just my two cents!
@@Csch224 don't know if Rooke also got buffed but I like the ship. Been grinding my Bureau projects so haven't played it recently, but definitely looking forward to Hawke and Duncan. (Close to Hawke but Duncan's gonna be a minute)
3:45 I think I heard somewhere that the British BC's have normal AP, but I could be wrong on that. However i do notice when playing them I citadel BB's that the Vanguard line wouldn't, so maybe
Hmm you may be right, on PC they're Short fuse...I always assumed we carried them over to Legends the same way 🤔 I did cit a Nagato at 18km, that makes a case for normal fuse. And over pens on Shimanto game 2
@@DerkaGames The Duncan also seems to get better results with the AP when compared to the Temeraire and the Conq, further testing in custom rooms may be required lol
One single aspect of its guns don’t immediately make it better, you haven’t even considered aspects like reload, accuracy values, the British HE shells that hawke has Just because they’re the same size doesn’t mean their overall performance is determined by one factor
I’ve tried the reload build and the dispersion mugs you off so often, using Nelson now and I think it’s got more potential. More accurate and less overpens Might back and forth for a bit but there felt a big difference when I slapped on Nelson. I’d rather wait an extra 4 seconds if it means I can hit them
I have my constellation down to 22 sec, with a 17sec reload with the every 3rd shot perk using azer lane Colorado. What's weird is that ship is accurate 10+ km, but 10-5km she's like a shotgun. By far my favorite tier 7 to play. Between that and the radar and torps, she's nasty!😂
Save boosters for ships you're really good with lol there isn't a whole lot you can do to make GXP easier to earn. I'd day grind T7. Getting in a maxxed fleet will help tho.
I didn’t know they buffed it. This line is one of my favorites to see on the red team. The only line that explodes catastrophically more often are American cruisers. 😂
Switching from German bcs to British has been very hard, but fun. Only thing I’m confused about is how the German battle cruisers, the ones with the best construction out of any ship to exist(aside from the Iowa) have less health than the nuclear bombs that are the Brit battlecruisers
One game I played in my vladi there was a Hawke hiding behind an island making his move to come out which also left my division partner in a cruiser knocking on deaths door Hawke creeps out and I smacked it full broad side at 4-5 km 5 citadel Dev strike the thing just went pop Another fond memory was the first time I came in contact with the Duncan I thought hmmmm t8 looking at my Georgia while I'm broad side this isn't going to end well I launched a salvo my god my six shells went up in all different directions suddenly they were like magnets all six sucked in to create a brutal fist of fury 4 citadel Dev strike from full health to port in the blink of an eye
When she lifts her skirt she really moves, and her torps are only good for a last ditch, suicide drive by....but learn't a lot from this video..thanks...slowly getting to the Duncan ....Temeraire also has a high 48% fire chance with HE btw.
I always thought that the Hawke was a good ship pre buff. My stats backed that up, having the highest win rate, damage, XP and accuracy of all my T7 BB. Post buff it feels like the best bb in the game.
I had the same thoughts, my stats are stacked in this ship, even solo. 81% WR, 101,000 avg damage, and XP is over 2k i believe but cannot remember. And then they buffed it LOL
somehow i absolutely hate all the maps in legends...but these sort of island/poop infested maps dont pose a problem on the pc version...but china makes good sea maps as evident in early Blitz and Naval Creed
Not a single hawk tuah joke...😂
😂😂😂😂 hawk tuah girl had not happened yet!!! At least I don’t think she had. This made me lol
Hawke is a Nerfed K3 design from 1920. K3 was supposed to have 457mm guns that's why this ship is so massive.
interesting!
@@DerkaGamesYeah Britain made like 50 in-depth battlecruiser designs in the 1920s and the final results led to the Nelson-Class.
Glad to see another Trident enjoyer!
🙏🙏🙏
I have full dpm on monarch and its got down to 16 with epic mod max. Very nice video as always.
That's saucy sounding ❤️

I've enjoyed the rooke so far and have been playing similarly, hanging out towards the back and moving around while peppering as many as I can with HE

Thanks for the vid Derka. Up to Renown on this line. Its been lotsnof fun. Hope that continues for the rest of the boats.
Gg🍻
Thanks 3D! It's a fun line =)
Rooke is the worst of the line but still quite fun, Duncan is one of the strongest ships in my opinion
I disagree, I think Rooke is really good. You have to be careful like the Hawke but it has really good accurate guns
Don't have Hawke yet still grinding out Rooke. Love this commander so much I maxed him immediately. Great video Derka👍
Hawks and Duncan are so fun
@@Csch224 don't know if Rooke also got buffed but I like the ship. Been grinding my Bureau projects so haven't played it recently, but definitely looking forward to Hawke and Duncan. (Close to Hawke but Duncan's gonna be a minute)
@@iamsuzerain3987 nah rooke is still kinda mid
@@Csch224 idk man, it works for me. There's plenty of "mid" ships but Rooke ain't one of 'em. Like I said...looking forward to Hawke and Duncan
Thanks!
Nice video thnx derka!
👍👍
Love your charts Derka. Haven't been able to get past Renown but I hope I can finish it soon still hawke it is a little squishy 😊
Super squishy 😍

This has been my favorite BB line so far, upgrades are important for these to really shine do stick with it.
Great video as always! Hawke looks great but man Rooke is so painful to play.
Hawke and Duncan are so good
Worth the grind I guess haha
Forgot to say that Iowa has super heavy shells and hawke not wich makes the Iowa armament better

I kinda agree, this build work best on the BCs. Although taking the dispersion skill in slot 3 is an option
I earned a Detonation Medal in the Hawke. Craziest 72 seconds of the night. Tried playing it like the Iowa.
😃 hey we live and learn
I think the most fun I have on any map is usually ring of fire in a T5 BB
That's a good map =)
Crash Zone has always been my favorite map, but Scandinavia is quickly becoming #1

Could you do another how to des Moines vid cause I'm struggling with that ship
Duncan vid when? Definitely contender for top 3 battleships at tier 8
It's on my to do list!
@@DerkaGamesyes! I love that boat and love playing it!
Thanks for the really good video 💯
I got a quedtion, do you have any suggestions to grind XP/Göbal XP faster and any tips for Russian Battleships?
Save boosters for ships you're really good with lol there isn't a whole lot you can do to make GXP easier to earn. I'd day grind T7. Getting in a maxxed fleet will help tho.

Can you do an updated vid on republique please I just got it
What about the sinop would you position like an iowa?
yeah
One game I played in my vladi there was a Hawke hiding behind an island making his move to come out which also left my division partner in a cruiser knocking on deaths door Hawke creeps out and I smacked it full broad side at 4-5 km 5 citadel Dev strike the thing just went pop
Another fond memory was the first time I came in contact with the Duncan I thought hmmmm t8 looking at my Georgia while I'm broad side this isn't going to end well I launched a salvo my god my six shells went up in all different directions suddenly they were like magnets all six sucked in to create a brutal fist of fury 4 citadel Dev strike from full health to port in the blink of an eye
I even run him on conqueror lol 😂
Yeah lol i can see this being spicey for most brit BBs

If I was saying to buff reload, it's Ding Ruchang or something like that
Buffed Hawke is still a fun and easy one bang for the Flandre.
Does Hawke have short fuse AP?
Now I'm questioning it...on PC she does
Yes she does
Amusing to see full grind skipped thanks to GXP. Why the rush instead of enjoying the grind to deserve the upgrades?
My grind started at T7 thankfully 😆
@@DerkaGames the Renown was good but the Rooke for me was the most fun on that line after maxing out the commander.
