In my mind, this is still going to be a meme boat due to the fact that secondaries are not accurate and you need to count on good RNG on your side in order to do some damage with them. They also can't light any fires since they're SAP secondaries, so that also stinks.
For most casual players, the screen getting filled with incoming secondary fire toward their ship triggers the fight or flight response in our lizard brain. All those fireworks going off can freak a player out and cause them to run or just panic... even when the damage isn't really bad. Experienced players know to ignore the graphics and pay attention to their health bar, but casual players see fireworks and will automatically think they are in a world of hurt. Those are mind games that can work in your favor if you push in with secondaries visually blazing at everything.
I really wish this ship had gotten reasonably accurate secondaries. Like GK level accuracy. Even if at the cost of reload. I’m just kinda sad because it’s just clearly not that effective as a secondary ship despite having all the potential to be
The make or brake example is the t9 dockyard? cruiser Schroder its dispersion ellipse is about twice the diameter of a normal battleships secondary ellipse which in turn are about twice as big as Schlieffen ( Ohio is in-between ). So if Schroder is good enough to build into secondary's than any battleship who's secondary's have some amount of survivability are a viable platform to at least partially build into.
@@benjamingasaway9882Gascognes secondaries are destroyed easily, but are also very much worth investing in. You just have to try and avoid big calibre HE spam and accept you might lose them.
The problem is there is not enough uniqueness to this ship. I friggin' love Colombo after her buffs(accuracy on paper is same and feels the same with these match replays) and see literally see no difference between the two other than Sicilia having a few SAP seconderies which honestly doesn't make all that difference with the DPM. No way even if I had excess RB points I would spend them on Sicilia rn.
The.only mentionworthy advantage of sicilia is he against dds. Thats it. Sap secs are useless because of accuracy. Sap mainguns on colombo are straight up better
I got sicilia yesterday and I had funny games on randoms, main battery consistency is good but sadly cant rely on your sap secondaries dmg but its great to have cause all run from them
I got her a few days ago. Was a tough choice initially between her and Colbert. The secondaries are fun and I would put her slightly ahead of Slava. Many Slava owners told me she's always over pen'ing and not worth it tbh. Can't wait for Asymmetrical to return
Nice match. I always enjoyed airship escort when it was in it's own mode; not so much in randoms. I'm curious to see how players react to this patch with the additional carriers and faster subs. I've been out of the game for going on a month so waiting to see how people like the meta before deciding to come back. Keep up the great work and take care.
Thing just seems like a worse Colombo. Colombo is so cracked with its current firing angles and slightly better accuracy. You get to actually use its armor, so you can just tank everyone and hit them for 15k+ with SAP regardless of their angle. Sicilia seems more like a meme to me.
The 381mm of Colombo was already good. On Sicilia I heard there's a better caliber. You can get the skill for super AP for you captain and that damage will absolutely be devastating.
Subs got a huge agility buff and plane ASW got a damage nerf. It's a buff since the only thign that has been nerf... is the fact that some rare backline Cruiser line got subs surveillance.
as for the broadside hitting salvos in lower to mid range: I had also some weird experience with my Meckle, 16 shots full hits (AP) into a broadside Montana within 5 km and one time within 9 km and NO, absolutely NO damage. Not sure if the Montana armor is so resistant or if there is a bug, but even the 305 of a Meckle should do some damage at this range... My guess, there is bug that the damage wont be registered by the server sometimes
I would personally go full secondary range but not accuracy, and that really comes down to the fact that your main damage dealer is not the secondaries anyways, they're there, they have decent range, you use that to make your main gun reload faster. If that mindset allowed me to gut punch a battle with 268k damage then I think a Sicilia will do it better simply cus it has a better base reload.
It's probably just the gamemode if nothing else. I grinded out Lepanto and Duncan in Airship last time it was around; I enjoyed Lepanto and hated Duncan. But in random, its very much opposite, I like St Vincent while I've had zero luck with Colombo. Which is sad, because I do like Veneto even in randoms, and still play her
1st: i ask for credit multiplier for T9 but the wow support reply me in ticket saying: "The multipliers you could find in the Economic bonus tab." 2nd: im planning to buy Pommern coal vs Pommern dubloons. i dont know if theres a difference between credit multiplier. beside from permanent bonus and consumable bonus
The Italian 15" gun always had terrible HE since Roma. Same awful fire chance and mediocre alpha. Maybe an improved heal like the 40s cd one could help it play more aggressively?
So the aim bug that makes you have to lock on for a few seconds before you are actually locked works both ways, you stay locked a few seconds after they go dark for some reason as well. Noticed this running the Vermont lately and taking shots at things like Des Moines on a corner
thnx for great video,, sorry to say, i stopped playing the game when i met 2 subs 4 dd`s and a cv in a round,, was in a bb.. and under 3 minutes i was hit by two full salvos from cv torpedoplane`s,, and had been pinged two times by a sub,, with incoming torps, thats was impossible to dodge... then there was a gouden... can you make a video how to survive that??
I play c.Colombo almost entirely with ap; the sap is honestly not fantastic. To me, the Sicilia is therefore just a straight upgrade; a colombo even better at brawling thanks to the secondaries.
i wont bother playing her til her secondaries are buffed same with all the other ships whos secondaries were ruined all ships should be buildable into both types of damage they have and this commander rework screwed that
You’re gonna need research points by restarting the branchs of tech tree ships and Sicilia is pretty expensive. So go for Ohio instead if you don’t have any
you can take Kremlin and just enjoy these kinds of battles. you don't need this Sicilia for it. But in general, this is how wows should be played. It's all about fun brawl, not the 25km meta shooting. Played 10 matches in a row and it's amazing. Nobody is camping on respawn.
I have all 3 battleships, If you want a brawling battleship then Ohio is the better ship, if you want a sniping battleship then Slava is better, Sicillia just meh, don't waste your hard earned RB points for it
I have never played a game as ridiculous as World of Warships in my life. 02:27 For example, in this video, one of the successive adjacent torpedoes hits the ship, while the other one passes through the ship and does not cause any damage. I also love the way the friend who presented the video laughs like a bitch chicken (03:09 , 09:34 , 10:24 , 10:53 , 12:52 , 14:35 , 16:16 , 17:19 , 19:20 , 19:58).

rather have SAP for dds anyday then HE, at least you do guar damage
You cant spec secondaries, they're useless, and you're left with a colombo -SAP +smoke. its dogshit
sap doesn't need to light fires. It just does crazy base damage. Fires rely on people failing to use their damage con

All thanks to the worst rework in history, the commander rework.
It’d probably be too good then
That is what I like from PQ, to be able to acknowledge his previous reviews, whether for good or bad.
I love the sincerity… keep it up 👍
I was admittedly positioned pretty poorly at 12:14, but it was an honor to meet you in battle sir! Well played.
These so called Support CVs support themselves most of the time. Like they smoke themselves rather then assisting a BB who is being focused or a DD
*Surprised Pikachu face:* No waaaaay
That's why matchmaking monitor is so important. Don't trust random BB players; they don't shoot spotted DDs and now they fire while in the smoke.
map awareness is a hard to master skill for CV
That is because cv are jot rts cvs like me that i put pressure on other cv and sm9ke allies

Oh dude you gotta get Colbert. It’s THAT good
Slava is not over penning…? It still smash broadside ships but can’t do a lot against bowing ships
the 360 deg rear turrets is slick

Hi Bro, Just got the Sicilia.... I loved it thanks to you.
More power on your Vids from Alberta :)
sorry for crosspaming and different videos...
"...and then 'Boom' 40k into a Schleiffen." I laughed hard at that.
Thing just seems like a worse Colombo. Colombo is so cracked with its current firing angles and slightly better accuracy. You get to actually use its armor, so you can just tank everyone and hit them for 15k+ with SAP regardless of their angle. Sicilia seems more like a meme to me.
Spot on mate
ahhh i feel like this is going to be the pattern for the future, bruh
Airship Escort > Randoms, yeah.
How is this thing better than C Colombo? I wonder if hes gonna make a vid like: So I was wrong about the C. Colombo... again.
It's not better than Colombo. Colombo's buffed firing angles make it extremely strong
Lol I’ve been waiting for this video since I got two games in a row with you playing it 😂
The 381mm of Colombo was already good. On Sicilia I heard there's a better caliber.
You can get the skill for super AP for you captain and that damage will absolutely be devastating.
Thanks for being "real" when it comes to the issues within World of Warships. I can always rely on your no BS reviews.
I respect your admitance of change of mind
So you see the "balancing" changes for subs as a buff to subs?
Subs got a huge agility buff and plane ASW got a damage nerf. It's a buff since the only thign that has been nerf... is the fact that some rare backline Cruiser line got subs surveillance.
How can you not see that as a buff?

My guess, there is bug that the damage wont be registered by the server sometimes
I laughed pretty hard at the thumbnail xD
Great videos! Can you test again after today's bug fix?

If that mindset allowed me to gut punch a battle with 268k damage then I think a Sicilia will do it better simply cus it has a better base reload.
Why didn't they use the Italian 135mm secondaries instead of the US ones ?
It's probably just the gamemode if nothing else. I grinded out Lepanto and Duncan in Airship last time it was around; I enjoyed Lepanto and hated Duncan. But in random, its very much opposite, I like St Vincent while I've had zero luck with Colombo. Which is sad, because I do like Veneto even in randoms, and still play her
but is there a point of grinding for Sicillia while there is Colombo? Colombo also get SAP the better ammo type
You can start fire at least I guess
Grind XP for the captain when you restart the bb italian line, if you want
yes PQ you were also wrong about BUNGO, i say sometimes calm down dude
“I was wrong” the next video playlist on YT.
Just got it, first game 137k dmg 1,5k base xp in a win, second game 265k dmg 3171k base xp!! First impressions are very good!!

wasn't locking for a while after target disappear a feature?
I read it for last year updates, I forgot which update though
@@Dominus_Potatus not that I recall I see it as the aim system not being synced
@@Dominus_PotatusYeah. Staying locked for a second or two after losing sight of a locked target is working as intended.
@@Frigidblood for real... is this sarcastic? XD
@@Dominus_Potatus lol, real. I remember that being mentioned in patch notes or a devblog too.
If you AP colombo user, this ships is little bit better (coz reload) but if you sap + ap colombo user this ships is meh to ok (if you ok to he)
Day 1 of asking pq never to make a video of Worcester/Seattle gameplay.
Is the mod Manager actually still legale with the new Eula?
seems like if you play it like a slow napoli it could be really brutal
I just got Sicilia 👍🙏. I already love it!
Just give it a little secondary accuracy buff
thnx for great video,, sorry to say, i stopped playing the game when i met 2 subs 4 dd`s and a cv in a round,, was in a bb.. and under 3 minutes i was hit by two full salvos from cv torpedoplane`s,, and had been pinged two times by a sub,, with incoming torps, thats was impossible to dodge... then there was a gouden... can you make a video how to survive that??
Impossible to dodge, I almost never hit bb in my subs after pinging you must just sit there.
I play c.Colombo almost entirely with ap; the sap is honestly not fantastic. To me, the Sicilia is therefore just a straight upgrade; a colombo even better at brawling thanks to the secondaries.

Hits a GK for 22k when any other battleship in the entire game does 30-50k "its fine."
Pinata hunt is even more fun.
Isn't this what the Columbo originally was?
For my taste pq aims too much for the waterline on some bbs. Id rather aim mid section or a little bit higher than waterline
I just wish ships, especially bbs were more consistent and reliable damage
another massive positive of this ship? rear 360 turrets. Two of them.
How can I get sicilia
Why can't I get broadside ship in Asia?
Like... the players really following influencer's advice down to word
I chose the Stalin over this ship as I like fast battlecruisers
Day 20 of asking pq to play Worcester/seattle
You wrote "last day" two days ago
After 20 days straight, you're no longer asking. You're pressuring! Relax kid.
Bro just give up and go watch his older Worcester videos
Day 2 of reminding the Worcester guy to keep asking PQ for a guide
@@FinnMacCuhlW
How do you get Sicilia ? I can find it in any premiums?
Research points only
You’re gonna need research points by restarting the branchs of tech tree ships and Sicilia is pretty expensive. So go for Ohio instead if you don’t have any
ASW strikes are about 50% less effective now.
WG - we realize submarines are unbalanced so we’re going to buff them.
WG stealth buffs ships after CCs call them out for being DOA
If you like brawling in airship escort wait till you see what they got coming for April fool's Day.
Really??)))
If PQ likes a ship, normal people will suffer. I bought Florida based on pq videos... learned I am not PQ pretty quickly.

i got around 16k average ap only sicilia in airship and at least 1dev each match!😂it is a citadel fes
Yep. Anything-but-Randoms.
I knew it ! 😋
This video clearly proves the ship is fine.. Random battles have just turned into a shit show and is utterly boring.
Full health death strike, but you still complain about subs.
