Hey guys! To clarify a common comment:
Massachusetts isn’t currently available to purchase outright. This video was focusing just on the best Premium you can outright buy at the moment. This also excludes coal ships as well, as those are free with a bit of a grind. Thanks!
Have both the Mass and Alabama. I mostly play the Mass and when I play the Alabama I get focused and melted a lot. I will try more mid range with Alabama. I have been playing it too much like a Massachusetts.
@@Smenkhaare Yep, two very different playstyles for them. Basically, like playing either Bismarck or NC.
@@Powerhaus88 Thanks. Will try that. Broke out the Alabama on Thursday and had a decent game.
Speaking of Tier 8, you will never ever find a player who regrets buying (Tirpitz T8 German BB) or Atago(T8 Japanese Cruiser)
I would buy the Atago for my only premium, but the Alabama is also great.
When I 1st got it, years ago, I had real problems. Recently (5-6 months ago) I took it out and with a halfway good team, doing ok. If you are a Cruiser person, you could do A Lot worse.
I have Alabama. Last week I was doing Raptor Rescue with it. We had an Atago and Atago B as well. The enemy focused them and wiped both out in the span of about 15 seconds during the first engagement. It was wild.
@@lonnyyoung4285 They must have been total potatoes.
Im a CBT player .. first ship that i bought when the game was comming out was the Atago. Never regret it. Pretty soilid t8 Crussier.
That and the Kutuzov are about the only CBT ships that are still relevant, and you of course can't buy Kutuzov.
Well I was asked by a friend the same question and my answer was this: Tirpitz. It is the best teacher for how to play battleships. You have armor good main and secondary guns AND you have torps. So for a new player that absolutely wants a premium ship I would say this ship OR the Scharnhorst same ship kinda but at a tier lower.
Tirpitz is good, but her weakness is her AA sucks big time compared too the better AA BBs at tier 8 and her gun accuracy is very poor for 8 guns.
@@BasJon I can understand the AA part but the guns for me I rarely have problems with them. The reason I chose this ship is its great at teaching a new player about how to angle as well. AA is AA if you meet someone with a high skill captain and all the right mods you can almost never get them to leave you alone regardless of the ship.
A good teacher for positioning and decide when you need to push
Absolutely, banging all round BB at a good tier, get some more experience under your belt before lunging into T8 but she's definitely a solid and forgiving ship, especially with her excellent armour
new German BB line has plenty of torps and secondaries....
Glad you mention the USS Alabama Battleship Park. It is a great museum park - the Bama, the USS Drum (a fully restored Gato class sub that you can climb inside of), an excellent aircraft hangar/display that features a SR-71 Blackbird as well as many other beautiful airplanes. The park itself is large with plenty of picnic areas and parking (check out their website).
The view of the Bama from the I-10 bridge alone is worth the trip. It is incredible to be able to see the ship in its entirety from the heights of the large bridge.
As an Alabamian, it is one of the finest features of our state.
BTW, the battleship itself serves as a hurricane shelter - ain't nothing gonna rock that BB!
I will say one thing that WOWs has been doing good at over the last few years. The free premium ships you can get for coal , steel , research points are pretty good if you have the ability to grind them out
My favorite Premium DD is Cossack. Alternatively the Kidd is really good too, but that's more of a Team Support ship, whicle Cossack is a DD Hunter that's almost at the best concealment in the entire game.
Literally, Cossack is almost the perfect DD in my opinion. You can easily fight & kill anything with better concealment than you, while you still have much better concealment than anything that can fight & kill you. Also, as soon as there is danger, just smoke. You have so many, you barely need to think about if it's worth smoking up or not.
Only DD i like more is my Ragnar, but that's only technically a DD.... in reality she's more like a super light cruiser that can hunt DDs, kind of like an Ochakov.
Cossack is only ship I spend cash on 2$ to buy missing tokens , I dont regret I think that was fair price :)
But you can get radar'd and then smoking won't help you. The torps are not great but fair enough, the guns are quite good. I feel like I have had a better time with Loyang which has much worse guns but better hydro and torps, with again a big weakness to radar. But maybe I just don't play Cossack well enough.
Cossack and Ragnar - absolutely agree. I have to add Haida to complete three best premiums for me. That is so fortunete that we don't have to choose only one premium and can enjoy a bunch of perfect ships.
If you love the Cossack like me then , you will also love the vampire II at tier 10 its a beast of a DD
That's good to know. I just picked up Cossack in a super container and was wondering how she was regarded. Can't wait to try her out.
I don't have Alabama. But I do have the Massachusetts, that is a great ship too. My most played ship. Found it a good ship for the revamped operations too.
The main difference is that Alabama's main guns are infinitely more reliable than Massachusetts, but Massachusetts gets really good secondaries in return. They're not as reliable as NCs, but you have a much better hull than NC.
I've played Alabama much more than Massachusetts personally and agree on Alabama being a solid premium ship.
@@Joshua-fi4ji don't forget the best thing about Massa, not the secondaries but the fast reloading heal
@@stefanocrosazzo3262 same can be said for Vanguard and Gascogne. People always forget the fast reloading heals.
Another excellent review as always! However I think it could be improved with a ship from each class as not everyone like to play battleships! On that note I agree with chat in adding the Atago for cruiser class and one of the oldest premium ships that still perform well and the Kidd as dd! Thanks again for all your wonderful content!
I forgot I have the Alabama - I bought a lot of ships when WoW came out….
I stopped throwing out money when the Pommern came out, the last secondary premium ship of note
I love my Bama. Had it since way back. How far back? Back when it deleted pretty much all T8 cv squadrons and 80% of T10 cv's. Best T8 AA by far. Great rudder shift for torpedo beats. Great earner. I'm moving out of Seattle on October 3rd to Mobile, Alabama. Gonna take the family to visit her the first weekend we have free.
Hope you enjoy living in AL, I live in north Alabama but I love to visit Mobile
If you feel like taking a road trip a few hours West, you can also visit the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge.
I have her sister ship Massachusetts
I have visited the USS Turner Joy across the Puget Sound in Bremerton Naval Shipyard. I had no idea until the Forrest Sherman came out and I got one, that the Turner Joy was a Sherman class Destroyer. I got to sit in the front turret. Kinda cool to have a Sherman in game and have been on one too. Can't wait to see the Alabama.
I got the Massachusetts B. I too live in Alabama.
Only one premium? Easy! The Mikasa!
Have to be that I am surprised, I expected to be watching another video on the Pommern. I would stay with the Pommern or the B version if I was allowed only one premium; it just works in every battle. It makes enough credits to stay in the positive. Compared to the decent number of premiums I own, the Pommern is the one ship that I do in-fact play daily.
She’s a coal ship tho, so you can acquire her for free. I was more focusing on Premiums you could only acquire for cash. But yes, Pommern is still up there for me. Great ship
Fair enough, though could cheat because the B person is cash only ;-)
I don't see a difference
Grinding cost time.
And time eats Money.
I got the Alabama in a birthday crate been loving it ever since
Tirpitz was ny first teacher and damn I had fun with. That before they mess her up. But I still play the ship. But another one I discover that need both skills and fun is the Massachussett.
Totally love this ship when her guns rewarding good aim, helped me improved a lot of skills when I am still grinding Montana and Yamato (2018). For me it is such a good old premium with lots of fun memories, so happy to see this ship still one of the best t8 bb and people still enjoy playing it.
But 6:13 full hp Haku one shot by sub just make me worried about current situation, WG keep making changers and updated that player base doesn't need.
I have most fun at 2018 even though that time my win rate is 47% (1500~2000 battles, asia ), nowadays having 52% win rate (120 battles, new account because I am tired of asia server kiting meta) in EU server.
I can only afford buying 1 premium ship per month, this time I decided to try the Roma, but I will definitely buy Alabama at soon as possible 😁
I would say the Atago, she's a great ship. But since I mostly play BB's I would also say the Alabama
For me? Lo Yang that ship has been the most fun thing even in the older versions of ranked
The lo yang is very strong with its extended range hydro and smoke
@@TacticalBeard Until you run into a radar ship.
Great video! I'll definitely think about the Alabama although I'm still holding out hope for the New Jersey getting added for sentimental reasons.
Removing subs from random battles would generate alot more income for WG, but they are stubborn
Mine is the Kidd since I love to be a team player and Kidd is really good at that with its long smoke and dfaa. But if I was gonna play by myself more atago is my first pick. It was the first premium I ever bought and it's still good.
I have many premiums, but my main expensive purchase was Jean Bart Black because she rakes in credits and slaps everything
I will always love my Musashi and would be my first choice among all the premium ships in the game. However, from what is available in the Premium shop, I go with Scharnhorst with Brandenberg or Hyuga a close second/third.
As a cruiser lover Atago is my only choice ❤️❤️❤️
Tirpitz for me also. The first BB with torps was a big deal. I think it cost me near £50
For me it's the Atago
Got the ship 6 years ago as my first premium ship, and i never regret it
I bought the Alabama a while ago. I'm not a great player of WoWS, but I thoroughly enjoy this premium
I got Alabama in the Summer bundle sale a few years ago. Alabama and two other tier 8 “mystery ships” in crates. In the crates I got Lenin and Prinz Eugen. Great deal! I wish they’d bring that back.
Man got Lenin lucky
@@matthewyang7893 - Yes, it was well worth the bundle price.
Atago is the assassin, devastating with her guns against DDs at close range, deadly against broad CAs at close to mid range. One torp hit and permafires is usually enough to seriously weaken or finish off pushing BBs. And she gets creds for capping. The right cred flags and bonus coupon, with a 100k dmg game and two or three ships sunk, will net you 750-1mil credits. Being uptiered pays off super well. I am constantly recommending Atago as the best bang for the buck credit farmer.
EDIT: I would not recommend Atago for new players, she does have aluminum siding for armor and can easily be devstruck or chunked down hard if she shows too much side at any range. Best to learn the angling mechanics and how to bait salvoes and overpens, when not to fire, when to push or retreat etc, with the tech tree ships, German cruisers will be the most forgiving beyond Yorck. She was an earlier prem purchase that I was initially frustrated with but I recently rediscovered as a stealth assassin, and with the credit rework, enormous credit earning potential. Fast reloading Long Lance torpedoes and wide torp angles allow the opportunity to create torpedo fences that can deny areas of the map, especially late in game. Recommend running aiming dispersion module over turret traverse, so as many shells hit per salvo for those fires.
Yesterday I Played with the Atago. 120% cred + bonus, I had a nice game, 140k dmg, 2 caps, even it was a loss, I got 1,6mill credits.
Went to another game, 2 caps, 100k dmg, same flags, 1,9mill cred. That ship prints creds like a south american inflationary economy
Alabama is such a slept on ship tbh, suprised I don't see them more often.
her shell speed is hard to master, but definitely worth the effort to learn
Because what Sea Lord doesn't really mention is that it's literally just a shittier North Carolina. It has almost identical characteristics except you trade sigma for torpedo protection. Alabama also has a worse heal. Tbh it's actually a terrible pick for a premium.
@@Posilepton Shittier NC? LMAO Bro put down the crackpipe, Alabama is probably the BEST tier 8 battleship, premium or otherwise:
-amazing concealment
-BEST torpedo protection, with the skill it goes up to 56%!
-BEST turning circle radius at 710 meters, 50 meters less than NC, everything else has at least 100 meters PLUS
-insane AA
-accurate AF guns
-hard hitting guns
-she can take a beating
-great for kiting
-great for support
-great for sniping
You can do things in the Alabama that you simply cannot do in any other tier 8 BB, turn on a dime, avoid a crapton of torps, weave between them like a light cruiser. I would looove to see your stats, they'd might explain your horrible opinion.
@@Powerhaus88 it's quite disappointing to see someone spitting bullshit without even doing any research to back it up with. You have definitely not compared the NC and Alabama fairly and your points seem incredibly anecdotal.
-Alabama concealment is average. She ranks 12/26 for tier 8 BBs and her concealment is worse than NC.
-torpedo protection is best at her tier. But will you really buy a ship because of torpedo protection? I don't think anyone boasts torpedo protection as a primary advantage of the Shikishima.
-Kansas has the best turning circle at 700m. The difference between 760m and 710mm is minimal.
-AA is good, but worse than NC.
-guns are accurate but less accurate than NC. This is a big disadvantage when comparing battleships.
-pretty much same hull and HP as NC
-angles same as NC so no difference in kiting ability. Also not that great for kiting due to the round and only 32mm stern.
-support is subjective, but no reason it's better than NC.
-Alabama and NC are absolutely terrible for sniping. With slow shell velocity, most ships can easily angle against you if they turn the moment they see you fire. They are strictly mid range ships and you must be facing terrible players if you can snipe them long range. You do not have more overmatch than the average BB at tier 8.
So please, tell me more about how Alabama is better than NC and the best tier 8 battleship lol. Would you buy a cheap copy of the NC with only better torpedo protection for real money? Have you even seen the Lenin? How can you compare with the overwhelming secondary power of the Massachusetts who also still retains NC properties? Or the mobility, velocity and range of the Richelieu?
You can't freely move around a single commander between all tech tree ships. Even if you trained him for all classes you can only use him on one single tech tree ship and as many premium ships as you like
I guess the large question is which nation do you want to train commanders on the most? And I agree with you on the American line. My highest tier Premium is the Massachusetts. Which, unfortunately for new players, is no longer available in the premium shop. So for the USA I would pick up Alabama as you suggested. For Germany I would probably say Pommern. I picked it up for Coal in game and having both Pommern and Tirpitz I play Pommern more often. For Japan I'd pick Atago, for Great Britian i'd pick Hood, and for France i'd probably pick Flandre or Dunkerque.
4:50 "These are matches that are losses too"
Worth pointing out is that unlike XP which does have a 50% increase on a win, credit earning is always tied solely to your own performance.
My personal recommendations for each class:
DD - Cossack/Blyskawica
CA - Mainz
BB - Alabama (honerable mention for Arizona)
CV - Chkalov
I bough the Kii before the economic rework. Might buy the Bama next, if not for anything but for the fact that I've visited her several times in person.
I will buy Tirpitz for my only premium because she was my favorite even though the Meta was outdated and many are focusing on Sniping and Island Camping.
On Russian server, it's brawling meta that dominates.
kinda disagree.
Like if the parameters is: Has to be T8, has to be Battleship, then maybe yes.
But for random battles NC is better. Its a very passive meta. Better main battery (on NC) is just more valuable than a slightly better armor layout that will mostly benefit you on close to midrange.
So i would not recommend spending above 40 bucks for a ship that is almost identical to the techline ship and even being a bit worse in terms of main battery while being a BB.
In terms of credit farming there is better options even on T8. For example asashio wich is completely bonkers in randoms. Or you wait for events to get e.g. the Kaga.
But overall i would recommend not spending money on T8 if you only get one ship. T9 premiums are even more efficient in credit grinding. And if you time your purchase the difference in money is not THAT huge.
looking at T9 dub ships they run you 19300 dubs.
T8 dub ships run you between 11500 and 12800 dubs. so lets say 12300 wich is what most BBs cost.
You have the -25% coupon once a year. So we are looking at 14475(T9) vs 9225(T8).
If you buy the credits with your birthday bonus, you get the buy 1 get 1 free coupon. So basically you buy just half the credits and get the other half as bonus.
That would be 7237 vs 4612 dubloons.
Thats a 2.600 dubloon difference. That is not even 10€ difference for getting a T9 instead of a T8.
On T9 you got some absolutely amazing premiums that also stand out much more than the alabama does on T8.
You can get e.g. Gronnigen or kearsarge. If event ships roll nice you could find yourself buying alaskaB or KagaB. Possibly even georgia might be coming up.
imho T8 BBs are not in a great spot. I love them. Lenin or Massa are some of my favorite ships, but in random battles, T8 BBs are in a tough spot. I´d rather go T9.
I JUST bought the Mainz after watching some of your other videos as it seemed like a safe bet to buy using my birthday coupon. Almost went with Tirpitz as I do like BB play but I seem to preform better in cruisers. Anyways I barely missed this video before making my purchase :/
Best credit earning ship I have is the Benham. Post battle costs are around 70k and I average about 1 million credits or more a game. Its also amazingly fun to play aggressively
So I play US, IJN and Germany. When it comes to prems the Bama deffinetly gets my reccomendation based your criteria of what a premium should be. I just want to add that Atago for IJN and Prinz Eugen for Germany in case other players are looking for ideas.
Alaska will always take the cake for me. Surprised that wasn't the topic of the video honestly. And yes, Alaska was taken away, and while you can't buy it any day of the year, Alaska Black always returns for Black Friday every year, so there is a consistent method of acquiring it. Though I will say Jean Bart is a very close second, and same thing applies there, it'll always be back each year.
Good picks.
I _hate_ the slow American shells. With all the throttle-juking chodes in HE spamming cruisers these days, it's just frustrating. One of my favourite premium battleships is the Roma to be just completely different. It gets so many citadels with the insanely good Italian AP. The Lenin is also fun times since it's hard for jackasses to light on fire and can dev strike bad cruisers. It's nice to see chat is the same everywhere. I've never understood why people would think a win ratio is that telling of skill when you don't often choose your teammates.
I would of certainly pick any premium submarine, since they will most likely be OP for years to come, the only way of getting people to buy them.
Can you make a video on how to do The training for different ships classes? Because I thought once you picked a skill you were stuck with that skill unless you retrained your commander. I came over from the PS5 and they do the commanders way different. Thanks for sharing.👍
Alabama is a great choice. Decent guns with good range, enough to engage in tier 10 games. Decent AA and excellent torpedo protection.
I would chose the Brandenburg, because she has the best secondaries at tier 8 by a mile, she has torps and very good AA, I like the Alabama but she is too similar too the North Carolina. The Brandenburg is different too all other BBs at tier 8 she has lower caliber 305mm guns but she has 12 of them and they reload at just 26 seconds.
Brandenburg's a beast when the opportunity presents itself. It's just too bad that 80% of the time you just get farmed from range because some bastard CV spotted you early.
Doesn't she have the same secondaries as the Bismarck?
Brandenburg is great ship for DD and cruiser hunting
@@bruce3579 No they are different and fire faster than the Bis, I have tested all tier 8 BBs and these pack a serious punch with IFHE equipped.
I’m lucky to live literally right down the road from her. I remember spending the night on her when I was in the Boy Scouts. She is one beautiful ship. You don’t really know the scale of these ships until you’re actually on one. I love this ship. It was the first premium I bought. Well worth the cash. Also if you are ever in Mobile, Al you need to come see her.
Massa for ever...best premium
If only one prem ship for me, that would be probably T9 german heavy cruiser Agir.
Although I had Pommern as favourite when secondaries were at full power, its time is over. At least out of brawls.
I have most xp on Agir, even I have to say I don't take him in random battles in last time, to much range and He spam and even more spotting ships, there are also too many other ships and new ones (new tree ships), that playing single ship only would be for hardcore fan only.
I got my Solo Warrior in the USS Alabama in a Tier 10 Match...
Thank you for the review on the "'Bama." I've been looking for a Premium ship to purchase with my "birthday coupon" and Alabama was on my shortlist. I've often wondered how she differed from the Massachusetts. (Which I have also) I was curious as to what you thought was an average game while I watched salvo after salvo miss or just hit one or two shells. Then you reached 100k+ damage and I laughed because for me a "good" BB game I've caused enough damage to cover my ships health pool. An average game is about 50-60k. Granted, my experience with the US BB line stopped at the Tier 5 New York, on the Tech Line, and Arizona at Tier 6 as I've heard nothing but bad about the Colorado, so I stopped focusing on the line for now...so it's probably why I play this line as poorly as I do. Thanks for the content! NA Boom_n_Zoom
For me it's the Kii. It's a ship that can do some things well, depending on how you build it, but nothing exceptional. It's got a little of everything. Guns, torps, secondaries (if you're into that, I know I am), some AA (lol), and even earns more credits at its tier than most T8s alongside the Roma.
I built mine hybrid main/sec build with rudder shift. Got a kraken in 150 games
Only if you bought the Kii and Roma camo prior to the economic rework
Oh shit, didn't know that!
I lucked out got her last Christmas and happy to sail her into battle!
the mainz is my creditfarmer. when i play this ship and get in a tier X match i go like ding, ding, ding money makers to shoot. but one mistake and its back to port with your tail between your legs.
I always come back to Scharnhorst, if you choose the right moment to go yolo she provides the most fun of all ships.
I would take the Jean Bart, she's always there when I needed her, easy to understand her... 🥰🥰
But, the Giulio Cesare is a close second...
I'd say Tiger '59 for me, although I don't think most people would agree. That ship is my favorite credit grinder, and although it doesn't have the raw firepower it can still dish out some damage over time while also supporting the team with its smoke and radar
Nice troll.
i just realize that this ship costs only U$S8 where I live. I knew some games adapt their prices according to your country, but didnt know Wargaming did so. I guess I'll give it a try
So happy. When I was a noob andplayed the game a lot but didnt understand it a lot this was the 1 ship i was alloud to buy. Lol I thought it was bad after a while but guess not
I would get the Tirpitz or Brandenburg instead. More fun to play, also shines in smaller team numbers like ranked and brawls.
One word, Thunder.........
Now to get wows working on my steamdeck
Nice vid Sea Lord and an interesting choice. For me, it's the Indianapolis. I'm maining the US Heavy cruiser line and I enjoy playing the Indianapolis alot.
Too bad South Dakota class ships are not in Main Tech tree:"( The Design is Beautiful and Powerful Equipments on them
Opposing team: Why do I hear sweet home Alabama playing?
Absolutely. The “Bama” is a great ship.
Sorry, but if the gun accuracy is even worse than NC's, it looks like a polished turd to me...
I agree with you that the guns are consistent: yeah, consistent shit
Mecklenburg - My ship with the most average damage and my preferred secondary brawler.
of all the premium ships I own, the Pommern is my favorite, and most fun when I play.
The only "premium" I would have, if I could only have one, would be Ohio. There just isn't any premium currently out that really answers that question for me.
Similar to the mentioned Kersarge (for coal), the Ohio is a "free ship" for Research Points... I would say it that way.
If you play the game anyway, those ships come with the times without expansion.
Ok you use premium ship for training & earning credits so only option for that is T9 as you have standard +100% xp/cap xp/free xp camo and you meet T7/T8 on lower end & T10 , T11 on other side = you can farm higher tier or be big fish , in my opinion Guseppe Verdi is most OP ship in armory that you can buy ... by my advise is to just gather coal and get T9 for free .
1:50 Sure... but Ship XP is useless on anything, other than unlocking silver ships.
Anyways.... old Missouri. wins. New Missouri = junk.
Current available, ship?
Ohio....
btw: I refuse to give WG a single penny. So I wouldn't buy a damn thing....ever.
First ship bought after Beta test and still love it
My fav is teh mutsu, i do so well in it I get more credits than I get on my duke of york.
Dev struck one of these in the Minnesota.
lol the shit talking in game chat was super entertaining
More than that Premiumships and Premiunaccount have more rng than free ships.
My only premium would be Jean Bart. Lovely little credit printer she is.
I bought the Belfast 43 a year or two ago when I really got into playing and it's decent but not really that strong either, I've had a few good games in it but I haven't played it in a while either
While ships in this game are expensive and I am not defending that, personally I think that even half what they cost is still too much. Remember that in War Thunder the A-10 Warthog is something like $70+ maybe more, so in contrast WOWS is kinda ok as you do get a whole ship for the same price as one tiny plane lol. Again not saying these prices are ok, both games are ripping people off, trust me they make more money than you can imagine, but just thought I would point that out.
Love this ship recently bought it its AMAZING
What a surprise, SL nominated a battleship. SL should rename himself to the battleship guy (just jokes).
t5 Agincourt , t6 t61 or erich l , t7 nelson or maya , t8 lenin massa or san diego, t9 jb or keasarge. thats m picks although many have removed from the shop
Awesome video. I have Alabama and she is great but I was more focused on the soap opera going on in the chatline than what you were saying. Love the drama. You should make a video of salty players at one stage.... . .
The 'Bama has been my second premium, and has a lot of firsts for me (first kraken, first nuking of a mino in smoke, first devstrike of a Hindie at 18+ km)...there's nothing I don't love about this ship. One of the best torp protections in game, very hard to citadel, good guns, good AA, BUT - Massachussetts has all the goodies of the Alabama, plus quick loading heals and her (in)famous secondaries. So yes, I love the Lucky A, but If I had to choose only one premium, then it's the Massa, anytime. There is a price for the fun, though. In the Massachussetts, you are often the enemy team's priority target. Expect to get focus fired upon - hard. If the enemy team plays smart, they will try to kill you first. In the Alabama, you are not in that kind of danger.
Love the video Sea Lord. I would like a video of your list of the 5 'teeth ginder' ships you in your opinion.
Agreed.
on my opinion Mainz is the Best premium in the whole game. Got 2 million xp on this beast now. My most favourite ship in the game. If she got a Heal i wouldnt play any other ship anymore ^^
Now imagine, that Kutuzov is better that Mainz
Dirpitz all day everyday, by far my favorite and best performing premium
i would buy scharnhorst if i only could buy 1 premium
also i would be split between alabama or massa
did you know that you soon need to grind 300k+ exp on the colorado to unlock all trees when the new split comes?
I love NC, and I`d love to buy Alabama, if I had those money. I recently got my first T10 ship Yamato, and I happy that she is similar to NC, but with bigger guns)
Thanks for the great as usual breakdown
Bought both the Alabama and the Massachusetts at the same time with tax refund. Hated the Alabama and loved the Massachusetts.
So I got rid of it.
But I do have a lot of premium ships of all tiers, been playing since closed beta, but I took 4 to 5 year break. Now playing again "rusty as hell" but I'm having fun, and with the heart trouble I'm having it's about the only fun I've got.
So off I go to sail forth and have fun.
2 most expensive ones I bought were Tirpitz and Atlanta. Still love both of them. Atlanta is a great earner for me. Fun to play, good damage and speed n all that. Speed, dmg output, abilities, tier are all quite enjoyable for multiple consecutive runs.
I do dislike how expensive some of the premiums are, but I do appreciate the fact you can just straight up buy them directly. You don’t need to buy x amount of bull shit special currency first. Games that do that shit are inherently scumy. Always pricing shit to where you need to spend more than you need cause of bs special currency denominations 2k purchasable when item is 2500 etc. At least wg cuts out that bs.
Admiral Graf Spee, - because it's fun.
If I need to play t8 I rather to play KII due better earning bonus or any T9 premium (more expensive but if buy one it has to be the best money maker like Alaska :P). If the money is the case isn't better just get premium permanent economic earning boost for favorite t10 ? (+50% earning boost)
I visited this ship 5 times last year! The second time was on my first date with my now wife! 😁
I would buy pommern, I absolutely love it and I have over 1 mil xp in it also does my kronshtadt, love em both so fun!
I put an embarrassing amount of money into wows legends so I’m not afraid of spending on the game (just got into pc wows). But I still feel like charging any more than $50 usd for any ship, is ridiculous. An entire brand new AAA game is only $60. How can they justify charging $130 for what amounts to just another character to play the same game with?
Interesting choice. It was eclipsed by Massachusetts, but I guess the Massa is not the same atm.
I wonder if WG released Massachusetts back to sale, what would it be between those two?
I would always recommend the Massachusetts It’s main guns are only slightly less accurate( still better than anything German) and gets the fast reload heal, good secondaries.
I think Massachusetts black is normally available for the Black Friday sale
@@TacticalBeard as german bb player, your comment satisfies me on personal level. Thanks
@@SapphirosCZ lol I still play my German BBs even try out my old tirpitz sometimes . That’s the true definition of ze struggle . But yea keep an eye out for the Black Friday sale thats you’re best bet if you want the Massachusetts
my first premium ship is the Atago. I also went with Massachusettes over the Alabama
What are Cowbell?
