😆😆😆😆😆 well the thing is, not many people agree with us. Other CCs and CMs seem to think this ship is okay and normal. So that's fine, more fun for us 😜
@@DerkaGames keep up the great work. Hands-down, you’re my top 3 content creators for this game. Right there with Hipper and Jerk for info and entertainment.
Thanks Derka. After the New Jersey wave, we will get the Chappys out there. For the life of me, I don't get why cruzers aren't more popular. They are just so versatile. Such a fun class to play.
Managed to snag this out of an AL crate and I’m absolutely loving it! I’ve been running Ivan as commander but I’ll give Nikolai a whirl. Great video as always!
@@DerkaGames Yeah, since I pulled the Bayard the last update, I think it was kind a hint from the skies for me😅 CL are fun to play but need some brains. Learning a lot from you, so thanks again!
I use the chapayve capt on mine but again it's more personal choice, but my 1st game I got nearly 210k dmg and agreed this ship shouldn't b underestimated, gr8 video btw
@@DerkaGames Well I easily completed the Epic Mod Gun Fire Control with it by getting 10 destroyed ships. So it is awesome - for now 🙂 FYI: I was using Ivan BD Lightful as commander though.
It was this collab that got me into WoWS Legends to begin with! Had played the mobile game but not a fan of the chibi artstyle...so im pretty green at everything. have gotten myself addicted now :P i have both ships from the collab but had no idea how to properly use AL Chapayev, thanks for making this video! Because I'm new... got a habit of sailing straight first into combat... now i know better. the most damage i had gotten with R7 Commander was 16K, seeing this damage output is insane! You got killer aim too, was impressed!
Chapayev can be a higher skill floor ship, since she's so squishy. But yeah, once you learn to use her she's a menace! Best of luck in your gameplay, check out my begginers guides if you're still learning the ropes. Or stop by for a stream to see what NOT to do 😄
@Derka Games lol on the plus side think I more or less for AL NJ! Though max damage I got on any merch is 52K 😅 :p got a ton to learn and will do, got yourself a new subscriber!
I know im late for this, but for the commander base trait it can work with other damage not just from shells. Like trops from planes, destroyers and some HE bombers
It's worth trying, I think this becomes less beneficial at longer ranges where more shells miss their mark and shatter on the belt and other parts of the ships, without setting fires. But I bet it's pretty potent with the extra pen!
I was lucky enough to win both ship and commander from crates. And it looks very nice and fun ship. After I finished Riga I stopped at Schors for the other TT Russian line. Now I want to finish it too cause of the Chapayev
This is the perfect way to play this ship, perfect commander set up (not many make the good choice to spec a little speed) and perfect evaluation although this is a 5/5 star ship without a doubt
I thought hard about the 5/5 boats and I think I'm going to save that for ships like Tier 6 Weimar, Mainz CE, Sommers CE, Wichita CE, and Ochakov esque ships. Like ships that are so good wargaming literally needs to do something about them. Or never sell them again
@@DCnewsasia Haha, sour grapes much? Most who get it will get it from a crate. And it may even be a free crate. And the skill floor for playing Chappy effectively is way higher then what most of the player base is even near. So no. Definitely not pay to win.😃
Ugh. I should have shown whole match lol. I sailed into the last circle when they had like 999 points, so I stopped the loss. I was under the impression I needed to remain in center cap to keep them from winning on points, so i tried to reverse dodge that Kansas salvo. RIP. But after I killed Vlad I could have sailed out of center cap. Oh well. Live and learn
@@nemesisgaming9479 You don’t shatter on anything but belt. It’s a little ridiculous tbh but you get NO fires at all. I’m running the AL chapayev commander on it as well with her special trait and eop so max pen and max HE damage you could possibly get. It’s does so much lmao but no fires so keep that in mind
@@DerkaGames Well the problem arises when you are shooting at long range where your shells aren’t always going to hit superstructure. You’re hitting stern so you’re just shattering with no fires. It’s very situational imo but at 10km and shorter it chunks ppl
Hey Derka. So do you think this is better than the TT Chapayev? Is the TT Chapayev still good these days with only a F2P commander? Thinking about grinding that line out someday.
ive been playing this ship with AL Avrora from wave 3 she gives you an extra 10% HE damage without cutting your fire chance also Chapayev can easily get a stealth radar if you build for it
I agree about Chapayev, the commander. Doesn’t seem worth the resources to level up. But I am starting to eye old AL Avrora, who I haven’t really cared about since I got her. That third row perk upping HE and AP damage by 10% may be worth it for AL Chapayev (the ship)…
I just got her during this new AL wave and... I just dont get how to play her... Ive never been a crusier guy. Even with the fire build i never set flames, struggle to get more than 50k average damage with her... What am i missing? Whay ships should i target? Or am i just simply unlucky with targets?
So I have a question unrelated to video you seem to be a numbers guy and perhaps you can answer. Dispersion is total spread? And grouping is the distance between your two farthest shells. So what is the difference? To me they seem to be the same just wondering if my anti dispersion Montpelier builds are worth it +22 when Americans BB is -18 and in general what is better and why thanks for anyone who can have a answer that makes sense it feels to me that we have two stats for the same thing
@Derka Games I can't play at range. I normally push aggressively and gets into medium - close range. What ship ( GXP battleships and cruisers) would u recommend for me?
@@baofc2609 Massachusetts is an amazing T7 BB. Good brawler! I still love Prinz but largely think Hipper is better. And Suzyua is still one of the scariest cruisers to meet in the game. Crazy damage output. Best of luck!

@@DerkaGames true, being a percentage it doesn’t make it much worse than it is already but it’s the principle. They really need to do a common sense rework of commander skills in this game. I’ve never gone above legendary 2 on my commanders because the value just isn’t there. Skill to Rebuild is the only legendary skill that gets noticeably better and they’ve been talking about reworking that for months. You only gain one basic level for your base trait so that’s terrible value for what you put into it. I could go on but…yeah
She is a fun ship. But absolutely a glass cannon, shes not graced with overpens like the others lol Strong in some areas but super bad in others make her feel balanced.
Chappie is gross lmao I love when a Mainz pops out and thinks it's safe because it learned how to angle and suddenly Chappie is like "angles? LoLz wut r those" 😂

An improvement over the TT Chapayev surely, took it out yesterday and wow, powerhouse!

Nice vid Derka! I've been really enjoying this ship. What do you think about choosing the Equilibrium of Power to further increasing the pen?
It's worth trying, I think this becomes less beneficial at longer ranges where more shells miss their mark and shatter on the belt and other parts of the ships, without setting fires. But I bet it's pretty potent with the extra pen!

Wow I wish I had your luck! Score
I'll try her with Kuznetzov. I was sure the new AL Chappy was the best option.
My success has been a lot higher with Kuznetsov, I was setting like 2 fires per 100 shells with AL Chapy commander. Cuts a lot of damage potential
What did I tell you Derka, this thing is nuts.
