Doubt it'll get upvoted but would love to see ur take on HMS Cheshire! :)
Love your suggestion. It's a strong ship with those Goliath guns.
@@Graeme-bn7rb I just think it's a shame it's not in the Armoury or prem shop...the only other high tier prem heavy cruiser for the UK is Hampshire which doesn't fit the TT theme of heavy HE hitters....😅
I have the AL Cheshire, she’s a monster. Fast ruder and really good concealment.
@@garrettlaurel9505 can you change the camo on the AL version? Just cos if that's the only variant wg put on sale I'd get it but don't want the AL theme😅
Seeing PQ suffer? I'll like that comment
What about Hizen? Haven't seen that thing like at all and I want to know how it holds up :)
Yeah i'd like to see how that ship become worst IJN ship
@@dhimasardiansyah8741 what about Kii with his 1.7 sigma while being japanese 💀
There's a VERY good reason you never see Hizen. It's a complete turd of a ship. Easy top 10 worst ships in game, maybe even top 5.
It doesn't :|
The only thing it does somewhat well is if you secondary-build it for Co-Op or Ops so you can somewhat mitigate the absolutely horrendous dispersion.
In general, you throw HE at people and wait for a broad-side to show up where you pray RNG helps you hit a few shells.
There are instances where the dice pull through and you'll delete something at 20kms, but they are VERY rare. What is most fun is doing drive-bys where you can make use of the shell volume to wreck other ships.
But that's only if you don't eat a Citadel right away and go off to Port :)))
Respect for showing the Dev Strike. "Happens to me too." :)
The "go next?... *explodes* Go next..." Was hilarious
As a Smolensk main, my friend and me use this ship with his minotaur for some rage inducing times. Our only goal is to make the red team uninstall. Just doing our part since WG wants to kill this game so bad. :)
My everlasting regret, not getting Smolensk when I had the chance. I did not realize she was going to leave the armory and I was a noob at the time.
She is much weaker than she used to be back then
Thunderer is a better choice
Tbh don‘t regret not getting her, smile bc you don‘t the cancer in playing her
Same I was a new player when this thing was the ship everyone talked about being OP
@@deusvult6164 As long as there are CV's and subs in the game, no other ship can be regarded as toxic.
@@AllAhabNoMoby the sheer amount of HE spam this thing can produce from or behind islands is pritty fucking cancerous man
Smolensk, Jinan, Colbert, etc work best in a division. You just don’t get team spotting anymore, so they’re incredibly difficult ships to use. They’re much better in mode shuffle where people actually push in and get spotted.
The heavy Italian SAP from the battleship line really put a damper on Smolensk because that stuff can and will citadel you if you are flat broad side and it does an absurd amount of damage.
In that vein, I would like to put forward my request for a Marco Polo.
Please play Minotaur or Edgar.
Long time ago you made a Minotaur video.
I would love to see you play Bungo again
BUNGO BUNGO BUNGO! 🐵
Guilio Cesare, with Christmas event starting to creep up i want to see the original seal clubber rare ship.
That ship is so OP it isn't funny at times. I got it when it was originally released (I don't remember if it was free or just really cheap) and didn't do much with it till there were some events with tier 5 ships.... and jesus it is OP. And really only OP because everything else is so basic and meh. She will carry games alone, and will make the enemy team mad.
certianly not OP after release of Rio and a few buffs to Cavour. Mid among T5 BB in terms of anything
@@Swarm509I have it, it has not even remotely on the OP side. Average guns and armor, decent speed and accuracy
@@ReDiR20 what made it so strong was the "decent accuracy" remember especially back in the day. Tier 5 ships has crap for accuracy. BBs relied a lot more on RNG than skill compared to higher tier ships so the cesare guns rewarded players who knew how to aim (more so that other ships at the tier) hence with it was the "seal clubber" of the time.
@@ReDiR20 yes, this ship has decent everything. All the other tier 5 BBs have at least 1 thing terrible about them. Kongo is terrible armor and maneuverability. New York terrible speed and accuracy. Cavour? Terrible accuracy. The list goes on.
Surprisingly honest review, i really did not expect this👍
The first 3 games are pretty common examples of Smolensk games. Indeed everything will run over 20 km or there is no vision at all.
Thx for showing all the shit aswell, that people may have no idea about
In the 2nd game, if he doesnt abandon Shima at cap C, but help him kill Hayate, they would hve got that cap.
He also choose not to cap B at 12:30, that contributed to the loss.
Gunboat jager. No one expects it
Hahaha, I was thinking about doing it.
Keep in mind that Colbert's max dpm isn't attainable 99% of the time because there's only a very narrow angle and range combo where all turrets can be brought to bear in a target. Smolensk doesn't have that issue with its mythical Soviet quad guns.
@Potato Quality ! Play the Chikuma II! It was super rare, you've never played it, and I have one that I got out of a singular box. Lucky, I know
The tier VII Smolenks, Flint! :D IFHE is insane.
BTW, what mod is that cross?
It's kind of funny how people complain about over-penning the cit of very lightly armoured ships... but that legit happened IRL. We have the ship in game that experienced it. Lets not forget Johnston took 3 AP shells from Yamato and basically only lost one turret, and a bit of engine power. So to translate to in game, engine knocked out and turret destroyed. If Yamato had known she was shooting at a Destroyer, she would have likely loaded HE or possibly even her San-shiki-dan round. It may have been an AA round, but it was also an incendiary shrapnel round, and likely would have made paste out of the Johnston's bridge and deck, but as Yamato thought she was firing at a cruiser she had AP loaded, betting the target would have enough armour to arm the shells. When the shells hit Johnston they over-penetrated the ship leaving her mostly unharmed. At least relatively speaking.
The overpen mechanic in game would be fine if you also got the off-set; Yama could easily have hit an engine room or magazine on Johnston and that would have been that. Give me an insta-kill option if I hit the right spot (and I don't mean the lame detonation mechanic) and I'll live with overpens.
Don't forget the USS Atlanta
Overpens make since when it didn't go the length of a DD engine rooms and all.
So many 250k, 300k dmg losses in the smol. Truly the Smolensk experience.
I miss some strong DD Gameplay, Would love to see Ragnar! Or for another time: Lüshun, Småland, Zorkiy. Been a while since you played Daring too
That shim was ACTUAL Potato Quality. :)
I would like to see you play marseille or Brest! The French heavy cruiser line is super interesting
Since we’re doing rare ships, why not Gremyashchy?
my personal most played ship by far (around 1000 battles). I love how funny it is (when you play it, otherwise is infuriating). It can be one shotted (and i get it often, first one to die).
Try and play it with Kutsnetzov, when you ambush the enemy's dd at the start, you'll get an additional consumable charge, and youl'll get that often
Go only for range, 13.6km won't do it, you gotta rush at the start to island spots really quick and always avoid getting crossfired.
when targeted by bb over 14km, you gotta maneuver a lot, even with speed changes. Otherwise you'll get nuked. Always use hydrophone, and never trust smoke. Use AP as often as you can, when you get a broadside bb with huge superstructure, set a couple of fires and get the ap ready. I've done around 6-7k salvos on GK, on montana you can get easily 5k, same with maine and vermont.
This cruiser should be called "dd's bane"
Smolensk....The Soviet Firestarter which was sliightly nerfed by the captain skills changes which either you could have 19.2 of orbital shells for 4.5 sec reload...or 16.6 with sub 4 sec reload
Go next? GO NEXT! You spoke that into existence :P
attempt no. 3 at asking for lighthouse DM/Salem, they're good trust me
Try out hagostaeldmann, he only runs lighthouse Salem, looks totally insane. He also goes into a lot of theory about how to make each ship relevant to getting wins. Note he does not care about damage numbers at all, only battle impact and how to get wins.
Learnt a lot in the month or so I have watched him. Extremely educational.
His lighthouse Goliath was ridiculous as well. Especially leading the charge into caps to wipe out enemy dds in the first few minutes. Insane how differently a 65% plus player thinks to the rest of us.
"He's got HE, that could citadel us."
The absolute state of this ship -_-
Yubari. It is INSANELY accurate with the special mod, knowing how much you like accurate ships, lets see you play it ;)
You could have easily edited out being dev struck, but did not. I respect your content for that. ✊🏻
the prediction with surviving by overpens 😅 Yeah man its wows
With Jacksonville out some Worchester leg mod would be nice
Yodo yodo yodo yodo!!! Let’s see you make it work!!!
I would love to see the Charles Martel, very strong cruiser at tier 8 in my opinion
I wanna see castilla, especially in comparison to henri IV
A thing I remember from the time that both Thunderer and Smolensk where available. People where complaining so much about the Smolensk when thunderer was worse to face.
But hey Russian bias amirite
Smolensk then Thunderer a month later was the beginning of the end for WOWS for good players, who cared about game balance and not wanting a camp/kite meta. Smolensk was brutally overpowered and would sit in smoke the entire game obliterating anyone who dared go toward the enemy (and had a hydro and torps if by some miracle you got close to them) and players would sit broadside on because of it's troll armour that meant you always over penned. Then Thunderer came out and did what Smolensk did but could do it sitting in spawn.
As you point out, this ship is absolutely dependent on spotting. Which means that you have to rely on your teammates. Which is a death sentence in WoWs. Unless you have a div mate who you can chat with, it almost isn't worth the gamble on this ship.
have a Jean Bart and Alaska from all the Black Fridays last years. Was worth it
@PQ you need to use your torps more often
Radar Minotaur with all Radar Upgrades
Hey potato, what mod do you use that shows you overmatch and dpm stat in unit statistics? I use aslains but I can't find that modpack
I would love to see Repulse!
Colbert is actually a good bit higher dpm wise than Smolensk, Smol is much closer to Jinan with HE and somwhere in the middle with AP
Speaking of Jinan how about playing that next... for brrrrt reasons ofc😂
any chance of seeing the colbert?
So, is the AP totally worthless on this boat? I saw a couple of setups where it could've been used. Also, Dalian or Smolensk?
Smolensk 1000%. AP is surprisingly effective but you'll never feel like you missed out not using it at all.
Alvarado de bazan?
i miss the bfk damage record streams with smolensk tbh
Why would you take AA? Their planes are endless and on a short cooldown.
I want to see you hunt cruisers in the Indianapolis!
Salem lighthouse build is stronger than Smolensk I think.
Haven't played in years but these always make me miss the OG Atlanta days.
Jinan in arms race 👀
Me thinks you need to show some love to T6 & play Graf Spee. Get your Pocket Battleship outta your pocket !
Tromp torpedo build
Conq HE loves the Smolensk.
I request the mighty Maya! And I will not stop asking for it!
I vote for full Gunboat Shimakaze Build with 8km torps
i just got my shima, is that actually legit or just a meme?
@@professormoriarthus I think its very legit if you are a experienced shima player, I would not try to play that style and build without rocking shima for a while first and having a 21 point captain in it. But its a hilarious DD brawler with full gun build and 8km torps, it surprises a lot of other dd's and because of you detect you usually get to dictate the engagement which is a pretty big advantage.
@@deadhorse1 i have literally only played a single game in shima, but i have a 21pt captain and this concept sounds kinda awesome so im gonna try it sometime
Know what I never get liked so why the fuck not, can you do October Revolution? She’s a powerful battleship for her tier, but you don’t see her often
Expecting a 17.9 shima to spot and not do something insanely stupid. I feel for you. This game has been getting so terribly annoying to play for a while now.
T8 Wiesbaden, have some fun with the torps
I would love to see Congress
I remember when this ship was new and everyone was running it. Always the first target for me as a BB if I could get a good shot. Lots of ovepens on these damn things.
Siegfried the Agir with 380mm german Sniper I hope see you play it
Since you talked about the Tennessee, how about go over the California.
This might be potato quality
Graf SPEEEEE
Attempt 2 of requesting Bayern, the last dreadnought of the Kaiserliche Marine.
Montana with legendary mod
Judging by that ping and Euro clan names, this is EU server.
It would be natural for you to now play the Kutuzov (og Smolensk)
The thing about the Smol is that the moment you open up the red team abandons that flank and decides to try their luck pushing elsewhere. I find it better to let them push to about 13 kms before revealing myself.
Well, sitting in your smoke (torp magnet) ain't the smartest move, but sadly, DDs really aren't rewarded that well for spotting. If you've got a Halland or something like that, it doesn't matter, but otherwise many are just thinking "survive."
Yeah - DD's aren't in a great place right now.. Radar too common, Too many planes with all the hybrids around, Subs that spot, which you can do NOTHING about.. Support soo far behind they may as well not be there at all, and some numpty at the back with 0 situational awareness screaming at you to cap.. Currently the best DD players often seem to be the ones who simply manage to survive to have some late-game impact.
just yesterday, had someone complaining about me being 'useless'.. I was our only surviving DD, successfully defending our only cap (which was under threat by 3 ships, including radar+sub) - which I had initially captured, after spotting/destroying their Shima.. Weird thing was, it was another(sunk) DD player complaining.. Wasn't MY flank that collapsed... sigh..
Thankless job - completely thankless...
I think a full torp build schliefen would be fun
AP is also busted. 7-10k every 5 seconds on broadsides
It's good you show the "detonation" games as well as the slow death. I have a Smoly & its really good against cl's & dd's but needs range mod for anything else & cover or you're gone.. not many cv's like you either.
Do the Molotov its been a bit since a low tier
can you do tsurugi
I´m happy to have it in my port with Musashi and Kronshtadtoh the Kutuzow not to forget
Sap is a defently weakness, also Elbings like to chunk light cruisers, whish for a Super Elbing maybe 4 guns like Kitakaze or with alternate hull turning it inot a german Harugumo with 150mm guns.
Everytime I watch PQ I think he's starting to lose it.
The most fun ship in the game 🎉
I am missing communication on your side. Press these keys; focus fire, need help, support ship, need spotting, need smoke (combined with ping on map). Some people listen to that. Sometimes that is the edge you need to win.
wen dunkerque?
I feel so dirty every time I play this ship that I need to have a shower.
Hey PQ could you do a video about Kamikaze R?
Gearing?
How come your Mini map is not showing islands?
What planet are you playing from with a ping like that ?
He is NA and on EU here if I'm seeing right.
you just proved us that no ship is OP without a proper team. in the end it's a team game and it needs the combined effort of all players using their ships strengths to help win the game
Grozovoi
BOB ROSSing the Duncan. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
ship happens
If we are at he ships and cruisers. Please play Goliath
Would love to see the Almirante Grau played with the new PanAm special commander!
Imagine, expecting a Shima to spot. All I expect them is to run away, hide far away from caps and panic smoke.
You're being, as some would say, umbiased per say.
Vermont with SAP. That's a scary thought.
We don't have smolensk on legends yet. Is it basically haveing 2 Khabarovsks? But better
I’d like to see how the Roon holds up these days
Smolensk B won't arrive back as they said in the black Friday post. They removed it.
Full secondary build shikashima
would like to see Brandenburg
Orkan when?
