HMS Rooke is based of the J3-class battlecruiser designs Design J3 (November 1920): A later design which attempted to replicate the admiralty class (HMS Hood being the only Admiral-class battlecruiser) with other solutions. A shorter design at 860 (oa) x 104 x 29ft (262 x 31.6 x 8.8 m) displacing 43,100 tons, but with a 151,000shp output, enough for 32kts. Lighter armament for nine (3×3) 15in (381 mm), 6×2 6in (152 mm), 6×1 4.7in HA (114 mm), 4x 2pdr (40 mm) pom-pom mounts, two underwater 24.5in torpedo tubes. It was the only design submitted with an external belt 12in thick and sloped to 25°. It also had a single flat armoured deck, 4in thik (102 mm). Also she was a classic stern design, not the case for its followers. Not juged successful by the admiralty which wanted something bigger than the 15in caliber and more speed, again to match the Lexington, while the armour only protected from 15in rounds (18 in for the Lexingtons) while protection elsewhere was still light. However, the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 prevented the battlecruisers from being built. The Rooke is named after Admiral Sir George Rooke, an admiral of the Royal Navy who took King William of Orange to England to reclaim his throne and took part in the War of Spanish Succession.
I did a commander build for brawling, quickest reload time I could get and as much speed as possible with good turret traverse and this ship is fast enough to catch out many destroyers! I'd highly recommend trying it for a meme build as sometimes it makes for awesome matches!
This is my favorite line in the game!!!!!! I use them for ranked and brawl modes all the time!!!!!! Love John fisher with spock and the one warhammer with the repair party buff as inspirations. Fun fun times.
Rooke is based off the J3 Battlecruiser design. J3 was a smaller design than HMS Hood, with a planner total displacement of 43,000 tonnes Her smaller size would of been complemented with a more powerful engine giving her a top speed of 34 knots. Her armament would of been 15" guns in an A, B and Z (two fore, one aft) they would of been 50 caliber 3x3. However, none of the class were built due to the Washington Naval Treaty. An additional bit of triva, Rooke is named after Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Rooke (1650 - 1709) he carried King William of Orange to England to take the throne as well as during the Spainish War of Succession.
I finally stopped playing Legends a few months back but Rooke was my favorite addition to the game prior. You can play her aggressively but you have to have absolute faith you will catch the shells on the belt. She is a glass cannon but she’s a fighter. (I know that you are an expert on World of Warships. I’m in no way as knowledgeable about the game as you are and I fully acknowledge that. At first glance Rooke might seem disappointing in comparison to Renown. I’m not the best player but if you open up your angles on Rooke, not enough for the back gun but more over angled than you’d like. Everything over 14in should over pen once the super structure is saturated. Her armor scheme is very weak but she has a sweet spot that makes flat trajectory shells do little damage. They just slice through her like butter.
I got the Tirpitz B from a champion's crate, only used her once so far. I have Hipper as commander as he's my most levelled up German commander, and at the moment the ship is more of a brawler.
I like the rooke.some matches were a pain if up tiered, but overall it was fun and its different. no heavy armored brick made to sit in the back. I ll go check your channel about the Dunkerque B. I got super lucky with a Black Friday crate from the Bday bureau project and failed a bit in my first match 😅
I like the Rooke...not the easiest to citadel if caught broadside, so ya can get away with it a little bit...you cannot do that in the Hawke whatsoever. It's an excellent ship to play however I do recommend using John Fisher who has a few unique skills tailored for the British battlecruisers. Where I disagree with Spartan a little bit is in regarding the use of AP shells primarily. The British battlecruisers' HE is quite effective, so I split my time between the two shell types equally. That HE is especially effective on destroyers (and their torpedo tubes) along with other ship classes. It's not a bad idea to load HE on a British ship at the start of a match because you have a good chance to nuke a destroyer or...damage or destroy torpedo tubes on said destroyer or even an enemy cruiser...but that's just me.
not a bad ship, you still have the static/bass style issue with the game sounds btw. the voices sound a little under water. hopefully you find the issue.
i LOVE the Rogue! Yes i call her Rogue in Honor to Rogue from the 90s X-Men animation! ALSO Swiss AA is just DEVESTATING... its so funy When the Planes are on top of ya and SWISS AA just murders themn in Miliseconds
Bravely bold Spartan Elite Sailed forth from Spawn. He was not afraid to die, Oh brave Spartan. He was not at all afraid To be killed in nasty ways. Brave, brave, brave, brave Spartan Elite. He was not in the least bit scared To be mashed into a pulp. Or to have his eyes gouged out, And his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split And his body burned away, And his limbs all hacked and mangled Brave Spartan. His head smashed in And his heart blown out And his liver removed And his bowls unplugged And his nostrils raped And his bottom burnt off Brave Spartan ran away😜 With apologies to Monty Python and the Holy Grail👍
If i can, just a quick question... I don't have al nelson az my commander,who do you recommend from the base commanders,and who should i have as inspiration...?(i have all of them,from every nation)
@@SpartanElite43 I saw it thank u so much I have been using the new commander it’s been interesting I would say I just wanted some tips with that commander it’s okay I love your vids either way u taught me a lot thank you
@SpartanElite43 It's a bit more complicated unfortunately since all the lines are diffrent. The DD line has slightly better propulsion, the CL line has better propulsion than even prop mod provides, the CA line has no improved propulsion but no access to the mod, the BC line has built-in prop mod and the normal BB line has standard propulsion.
@@SpartanElite43 but like the ammos of the target ship or the ones u're shooting? Ig HE but not sure about it? And you get it just by shooting at the target and randomly happens?
So why are you not using john Fisher commander on a royal navy battlecursher Nelson is a fantastic commander but Fisher is far better for to use on tha line of ships

I really enjoy the british battlecruisers, the Renown is overhated.
Renown is so good
How's the Hawke?, I've only played up the royal navy destroyers and light cruisers so far in legends and just got it dropped in a crate
@@liamobrien-ib1rdHawke is pretty good, but it does need a bit of skill to play cuz of its scary armor and citadel
The Renown is pretty solid the hawk is pretty versatile not unlike the hood in the game it's just utterly Antiquated and ineffective
I did a commander build for brawling, quickest reload time I could get and as much speed as possible with good turret traverse and this ship is fast enough to catch out many destroyers! I'd highly recommend trying it for a meme build as sometimes it makes for awesome matches!
Oh yes finally a rooke video 🎉
Hard to find videos on this ship
This is my favorite line in the game!!!!!! I use them for ranked and brawl modes all the time!!!!!! Love John fisher with spock and the one warhammer with the repair party buff as inspirations. Fun fun times.
No way! Spartan I love you!
😄
Hell Yeah Spartan, thanks for the vid. I believe I was the one who requested but I'm not sure. I love her, don't let the bow armour deceive you
Thank you so much I literally just got the rooke yesterday
Glad I could help
Always good to see you when you post
Rooke is good, have engine boost and single torps with powerful guns and also a got her in UK create in this week

How does your quality look so good. The water and reflection looks amazing
I'm on xbox series c and they have the new ray tracing on legends
@@SpartanElite43Ohh, I play on series X to I think I have to turn that on though. Thanks

YES! Finally.
I really like the British battle cruisers too
The Men Who perished with the HMS Hood would disagree with you sharply on that arcade
Another banger of a video❤
Hawke next? Can never understand why the Hood doesn’t have Torps (or Nelson for that matter) as they had them when in service
He already did a Meet the hawke a while ago.
I got really lucky. Out of my champions crates that I have earned I got like 4 ships plus 1 with the 70% discount
Rooke doesn't need Propulsion mod British ships have natural movement, turning more important
Yeah I goofed forgot British ships don't have prop mod
I have 2 detonations on my PS4 account. Someone blew up my Yamato, and the other one was on my Myoko. Sadness...😢
Is there any chance you could do something in the HMS Belfast (Doesn’t matter which one)
Hey spartan could u make a video and show us how the new British destroyer commander from the blue archive set is ?
Steering gears: because 2 torps is better than 5!
Hello sparton I’m looking for a Georgia build do you have a good build
not a bad ship, you still have the static/bass style issue with the game sounds btw. the voices sound a little under water. hopefully you find the issue.
i LOVE the Rogue! Yes i call her Rogue in Honor to Rogue from the 90s X-Men animation! ALSO Swiss AA is just DEVESTATING... its so funy When the Planes are on top of ya and SWISS AA just murders themn in Miliseconds
This ships accuracy so good but the reload really pain in as*, such a downside even after using many inspiration for main gun reload.
Spartan please do a vid in the Dunkerque i recently got it and I have been struggling to get games over 30k
Clevebro!!!!!! Show us how it’s done!
Bravely bold Spartan Elite
Sailed forth from Spawn.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Spartan.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Spartan Elite.
He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
And his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Spartan.
His head smashed in
And his heart blown out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
Brave Spartan ran away😜
With apologies to Monty Python and the Holy Grail👍
Got my ohio yesterday with the new captain wow lethal reload
This thing is so fun, wish the Hawke played like it, you kinda can, but I feel more successful in the Rooke
I like the British battlecruisers; they’ve got punchy guns, they’re fast and they’ve got torps. What’s not to like 🤷🏻♂️
If i can, just a quick question...
I don't have al nelson az my commander,who do you recommend from the base commanders,and who should i have as inspiration...?(i have all of them,from every nation)
Getting the extra heals using Madden is good or go Cunningham for a more accurate build
@@SpartanElite43 Thank you!🩷 i will experiment with them tomorrow...
If you don’t have AL Nelsaon, who would you use with what insperations? Thanks
Go for accuracy on Cunningham or survival with madden
FINALLY!
A better renown, good ship.
You should do the Clemson next
Is it just me, or does it seem like getting hit with a torp always causes a flood now? It's not every time but like 3/4
“I’m not playing rooke” spartan like 2 weeks ago lmao
LoL
ALSO Where s my NORMAL Tirpitz.. not tirpitz B not Tirpitz BA ..THE NORMAL tirpitz Full main gun build Video?
just slightly late lol, but great review as always ❤️
😄
Hms Renown is a cruiser killer
Hey Spartan, could you play the Renown, please
Lol Bravely run away 🙂
Lol
Hey buddy would like to see a BA tirpitz with the commander I wanna know your experience
Already have made that video
@@SpartanElite43 I saw it thank u so much I have been using the new commander it’s been interesting I would say I just wanted some tips with that commander it’s okay I love your vids either way u taught me a lot thank you
Izumo 😅
Of all the ships to justify steering gears on picking a ship with no acces to prop mod is probably the best choice
Yeah I always forget British ships have prop mod built in
@SpartanElite43 It's a bit more complicated unfortunately since all the lines are diffrent. The DD line has slightly better propulsion, the CL line has better propulsion than even prop mod provides, the CA line has no improved propulsion but no access to the mod, the BC line has built-in prop mod and the normal BB line has standard propulsion.
Still having static issues there Spartan?
This was recorder at the same time as the last video so sorry about that it should be good going forward
@@SpartanElite43 I actually thought it was me because it does happen sometimes when I'm listening to music, watching youtube or Netflix😅
Pls play Prinz Heinrich
Wait a sec what exactly is a detonation? Can someone explain pls?
Detonation is when you cause the ammo to explode on a ship resulting in immediate death of the ship
@@SpartanElite43 but like the ammos of the target ship or the ones u're shooting? Ig HE but not sure about it? And you get it just by shooting at the target and randomly happens?
Also, day 1 of asking Spartan to play Munchen
Spartan, please give me some of your credits😅
So why are you not using john Fisher commander on a royal navy battlecursher Nelson is a fantastic commander but Fisher is far better for to use on tha line of ships
IDK if this is a skill issue or not, by my USN DD-maining ass has ptsd from the Rooke
kondo?
Day 30 saint louis vid?
Why is the audio so bad?
Was an issue with my capture card should be resolved going forward
Spartan is getting bored of WoWs: Legends 😢 You can hear it.
We all make mistakes cant win them all especially with most of these mop water players you can be stuck with
🇺🇲🇩🇪👌
Hello spartan please can u shout me out in your next video my name is alfie i have been watching you for 4 years that would make my day
I appreciate you and I'm glad you enjoy but I don't do that sorry
Day 42 of asking Spartan to make a video with a meme gunboat build Shimakaze
🤞you get up to day 1000
Unironically I just pulled the renown.
