I Really like the Alaska as well. They should give us a German T10 Supercruiser as well as some point with 13 inch guns or something and call it Wingthør or something. Nice Video! ^^
Hello hello Flamu. I'm very close to 1 million Free XP, do you think that I should get Alaska or should I wait for something else? Thank you for your videos, you really made me a better player.
Indeed, that DM not only knew exactly what they were doing, they also knew to watch what YOU were doing, plus respond to comms in chat. What a rare treat for a team mate.
@UncappingBadger my understanding was that a BC is supposed to seek out and destroy cruisers, meaning the Alaskas were not BCs because they were supposed to defend the carriers *from* heavy cruisers. Cruiser-killer yes. Battlecruiser no.
@UncappingBadger due to improvements in gun and ammunition design, their guns actually had better penetration at most ranges than the older 14" guns on the US Superdreadnoughts, so she could probably give some of the older IJN capital ships a run for their money. But I agree on all other points, they weren't BCs.
@@darkodin2007 okay. I'm now at 800k free xp and it took me roughly 4 years to get this amount, I'm not sure if I should spend all on the Alaska if I reach the million. I could spend money. However 50€ is to much.
@@darkodin2007 thx, I'll think about it. Wasn't interested so far because I had the Missouri as credit farmer at T9. But it isn't a fun ship with its shotgun dispersion.
I got my hands on the Alaska this week. First 2-3 games were a bit rough, because I overestimated it and got myself in stupid situations. But once you get the hang of it this ship is simply amazing. Feels so much more forgiving than any cruiser and many battleships. You can do things in the Alaska, that you absolutely can NOT do in the Missouri, because you are more maneuverable and harder to citadel. As a cruiser main this beauty is my new favorite ship of WoWS.
I do love my Alaskas. I got the FXP one, then pulled the B version from a crate a couple weeks later :D All my credit problems seem to have been solved.
I spent a full year getting the XP. I got the Alaska this week. Like my Mercedes, this ship is smooth, very fast and very forgiving. I found that the crusiers I face will back away from you when you confront them in an Alaska. That being said: Always remember to angle. Crusiers will outshot you but your guns when they hit will crush them The ship handles well but, for me , it does better in open water. Islands are great to hide behind but open water is its element This ship, with a DD or another crusier with torps can actually hold a flank. It's the ultimate battlecrusier
I've only been playing WOW for a few months and I love the game. I've been going down the USN light cruiser line (currently at the Cleveland). I started to get very tired of the USN LC line, as they get killed very quickly. I watched this review a few weeks ago and pulled the trigger on Alaska....WOW!! I'm delighted I did. Alaska is a beast and it's a blast to play. I had to make some adjustments to my gameplay based on my USN LC style. Once I figured it out, it is hard not to play Alaska all the time. I want to grind the Cleveland then Seattle, as the Wooster is the goal. But after playing in the Alaska, why go back?!?
USN CA > CL period. Cleveland was a monster when it was at tier 6, now it's a shadow of what it was. Dallas and Helena also are underwhelming. But boy, Pepsicola, New Orleans and Baltimore are monsters. Try going down the CA branch, you'll be surprised how fun they are. Baltimore is a freaking OP pos, in tier 8 ranked I just dominated with it, and in Coop i regularly do 120-150k damage. HE is brutal against DDs and at long range against BBs and bow-in cruisers, AP is brutal against cruisers and BBs at close range, and when you press Def AA and reinforce the sector, you can really punish attack squadrons. You can't delete them, but you can shoot down 3-5 planes in one run
tamas lapsanszki I’ve been considering going down the CA branch, once I get the USN BB’s done (I’m at the Iowa now). After reading your comments, I’m for sure going to try it. Cheers
In a match last night with my beloved Alaska captained by Halsey. First Blood/Dev Strike sniping a Chappa, radar 2 dds down, Dev Strike an angled Drake, got "Confederate" 5 mins into the match, triple citadels an Iowa trying to turn around because she didn't know I got 12sec reload now, HE shells burnt her to death, "Kraken", "High Caliber", 12secs reload on these guns just handling citadels to every cruisers, finally rammed an almost full health Bismark "Die Hard". Broke my Alaska record. Glorious match.
Yes! A fun forgiving ship to play, very powerful short to medium range. The one caveat I have is that at long range it is very challenging to hit smaller maneuverable ships due to her very slow floaty shells. If you do connect though.. they feel it!
Can definitely agree on the player improving part; I feel so much more aware and improved as a player since playing Alaska. I still need to learn how to get better at it though.
Totally agree lately a lot of new alaska captain dont know how to play it right. I was in a game in yugumo facing friesland. An alaska stay on 12 km away while no bb presented, he even turned away in fear of friesland....
The Alaska annoys me because my buffalo cannot penetrate the flat broadside of an alaska at 6km, whereas he can citadel me when I am angling against it.
stefanos perivolaris it’s also because the shop has such low citadel that most cruisers can’t hit it The citadel roof is only overmatched by big BB guns
Really glad I watched videos on the free XP ships. Alaska is one of the best Free XP ships imo. My biggest issue is deciding on ammos types. I use my Baltimore captain but I don’t have Expert Loader which seems to be something I should consider. But she’s such an insane ship in the right hands and still capable in the wrong hands too. I’ll have to find some optimal captain build but wanted to use her for training USN cruiser captains though I’m not sure if the build is the same?
Expert Loader is gold standard for any heavy cruiser captain. It's mandatory. Alaska is rather versatile as a captain trainer, you can use your typical Baltimore build with SI/DE but the best option is probably a tank build like Flamu's, especially given all the nonsense HE spam there is these days
Stefano Crosazzo I found that out rather quickly. I’ll need a specific captain for Alaska if I’m to really benefit from the good qualities of the ship. People tend to treat her like a BB and spam HE nonstop. And expert loader would be greatly appreciated.
@Flamu when they make the armory changes, which would you recommend Moskva, Flint, or Black. I’ve seen videos on your price for steel opinions but which would you recommend getting first for coal?
I just grinded out the Moskva and i absolutely hate it but it's worth it just so you will get another tier 10 as the replacement and 2 for 1 is always a no brainer.. And the Alaska is way better than the Moskva.
Even 8 months later I just got mine and it's status stands as the Unbreakable Crusier. I love her so much the punch and the armor that tells you that you messed up bad without sending you to port instantly
I am about to watch your 1st of many videos a friend of yours from WOW recommended I do so he said u were the best community creator he ever met . for I am an older beginner. if that makes sense with a poor memory none the less i hope to spend many hour listening writing down all the advise i can get starting with my Newley purchased Alaska B i keep getting hammered or beat up because i stay behind enemy lines to fire . I was always a BB guy but wanted to branch out. Thank you Rocky069
Hi, how does it compare to the Kronschtadt. I already have the kron and am unsure if getting the Alaska is redundant and I should fxp the t9 fxp dd instead. What's your view?
How about ditching Jack of all Trades and AR and getting RPF (radio location)? Radar plus hydro plus constant enemy location awareness-or DPM and consumable reload boost?
@LoneStrider well, Smolensk is not a premium ship, and let's be honest, technically it is a nerf, but with thinner belt armour it will get more overpens. About Graf Zeppelin i have no idea, pretty sure they won't directly nerf it
Very nice video i like yours content and i want to ssk when i have money for alska so also for georgia but i know you can purchase georgia for coal what do you think should i do it this way?
Hey Flamu, just a quick question. Does the guns of the PR have the same pen values as the guns of the alaska? AP seems to be lesser reliable when I play the PR instead of the alaska.
Even tho i'm not flamu, here the answer: Yes she does. She has the exact same guns as Alaska. What maybe makes you feel she don't is probably the fact that her dispersion is by far more trolly and the overall higher armor on T10 battleships.
@@xpaiinlezzz You don't have to be flamu :). I am happy about any kind of input. Yeah the dispersion indeed feel trolly. I asked the pen question because even on shots which do land pretty decent I get shatters (on not angled ships). It starts to get frustrated. Also shooting citas on broadside battleships at 8 km don't work as good as with the alaska. Maybe I just get trolled by the game. Thanks again for the input.
Favorite ship in the game, best combination of a BB and a cruiser there is in the game. Good concealment, accuracy, speed, AA, decent HE for fighting BBs and radar from the cruisers, great armor and phenominal AP from the BBs.
Videos like this are so helpful to me. I tend to race around too much and get myself in a jam. Seeing elite players being patient and holding position is a wonderful example. THX!
I cannot begin to describe how happy i am that the only Coal & Fxp ships i have are Jean Bart & Alaska, I would not trade them for anything :) Took me years to save up to them, but it finally paid off ^^
speaking of playing well, I had a standard random game where a T5 DD just sat behind island for 7+ minutes near the enemy base instead of helping to spot, hunt, kill. He then goes in to cap and gets killed, then blames our team for not helping him.
Hm .. am I missing something ? You can use captains for your premium ships ACROSS the classes ? I play wows ... well, since beta and whole time, I thought that it works just like in WoT, where you can move your crew between different tanks (prem) without penalty, but only inside the same class .
Hello, Flamu! Great vid as always. Do yoy have any toughts about when they Will remove Alaska from the fxp spot? Any toughts of how long time i have to grind up to it? Have a nice trip!
I’ve started doing something new with my cruisers lately. I push up behind in island as deep as I can go in the mid then if there is a carrier I keep his attention cause you know better me then other people since I’m pretty trash
Hey flamu I love all your videos, but I need some help from you. I am playing world of Warships by watching your videos, I downloaded it on Steam. But I don't know how to set cross hair like yours. Just plain no indication, I really need that. How to change that in my game. Can you please tell me that.
I bought this ship and love it. I play it a lot so I probably was one of the bad players you saw lately lol. After a zillion matches, you can't stay focused. I would argue however that Puerto Rico with the US flag camo looks sexier. But yeah fantastic ship. As I'm building my captain, I'm starting to get hungry for PR. Thought this time that $185 was too much for a ship. Maybe next time tho.
I call it Super Cruiser. Mostly because of the 305mm 12in/50 guns. Traditionally a Battle Cruiser has the same caliber of gun as a whatever current age Battleship just faster and less armor. 305mm is powerful for a battleship of the 19 teens not so in Alaska's age but certainly good for what all of the Super Cruisers were designed for, killing Heavy and Light cruisers.
I have Kidd, still a good ship to fight for caps and hunt other DDs, but the AA gimmick is pretty useless now. You can deal with T6 cv's, but T8/10 cv's shit on you.
Love the Alaska video. Used to subscribe before Financial setback. Spend what little money I have on flambass and give my twitch prime to trenlass. Sorry, wish there was more money to go around. Wouldn't mind supporting you and rougemonkey. Maybe I'll win the lottery someday😊. But great video
Only because of your recommendation when this ship came out did I give 100k free xp for this beast. I absolutely love playing this ship. I pray to god that Wg don’t nerf this ship. I’m keeping my mouth tightly shut.
She has a learning curve. I love how he points out how hard her citadel is to hit. I remember my first 10 or so matches with it was nothing but a slew of Dev Strikes before I just learned to hang back and be more passive with her.
Kronshatd next maybe? That thing is quite awful to play, and it gets countered by everything, especially cruisers that dont show constant broadside or are not RN light cruisers!
BoS alone will reduce fire duration by 9 seconds and flag alone will reduce by 12 seconds.If you combine them you will reduce it by 20 seconds for 3 points.In theory it might sound good but in reality those 3 points are better spend for JoAT and EL where first will reduce CD on all cosumables be it heal,radar and damage con and second skill will reduce reload while swaping ammo.So in the end flag alone is just better option,it's not bad to take BoS if it's your BB captain and you use but the more skills/flags/equipment you stack to reduce flood/fire duration the less bonus you get.I for example use max 2 things that reduce DoT duration because they don't give too much bonus for me and i got so used to play with Expert Loader that i feel weird playing without it.
Did you ever consider the AA interactions when 2 ships protect each other Flamu? TopTier has some very good material on that part and when see from that pov, DfAA becomes a nearly scary force multiplier. For pure self protection it lacks behind, for giving your team cover it is more then golden.
Alaska is such a bully against other cruisers. Really living up to that cruiser hunter design. As always, thanks for your support!

"you can delete cruiser, you can delete DD, you get devastating BB in close range" but can you kill CV in alaska?
Stanz Frost I actually nuked a Lexington with all citadels in my once. One of the most satisfying shots I’ve been made.
Not an issue at all
only by ramming XD
Last time cv spotted enemy cv at start of game, i was running spotter and so fired at the CV, citadeled him and killed him.... He was first blood
if it is tier 9, implement Battle Ratings to have more fine steps.
That surely will fix all problems, look at War Thu... oh shit, never mind ;)
saw you in game couple days ago o7
Love warthunder for tanks and planes, but WoW is just so much better in terms of ship gameplay

Hi Flamu, can you make a video about shooting just below waterline to explain when/if it's viable?
Time for a dad joke,
Do you know why I HE spam Alaskas?
So I can have a baked Alaska

Traditionally a Battle Cruiser has the same caliber of gun as a whatever current age Battleship just faster and less armor. 305mm is powerful for a battleship of the 19 teens not so in Alaska's age but certainly good for what all of the Super Cruisers were designed for, killing Heavy and Light cruisers.
It makes me so happy that Alaska is good.
Do you think Kidd is as good as it was after the cv rework.
I have Kidd, still a good ship to fight for caps and hunt other DDs, but the AA gimmick is pretty useless now. You can deal with T6 cv's, but T8/10 cv's shit on you.
Got this ship for 1500 doubloons during the 4th July random bundle event, so happy
Love the Alaska video. Used to subscribe before Financial setback. Spend what little money I have on flambass and give my twitch prime to trenlass. Sorry, wish there was more money to go around. Wouldn't mind supporting you and rougemonkey.
Maybe I'll win the lottery someday😊.
But great video
That poor Chapaev was just a regular idiot, Flamu. :)
9 rounded off by 5 is ten, thus therefore I conclude, Alaska is tier ten.
What about Kronstadt?
I have Alaska and I received Alaska B plus personal mission in Black friday container. Our Lord RNGesus was kind to me that day.
Wanted to get this ship, but probably going to use a good chunk of FXP to get Moskva before she goes premium.
"You can peak out with your front guns and shoot shit" I want to shoot shit now.
Only because of your recommendation when this ship came out did I give 100k free xp for this beast. I absolutely love playing this ship. I pray to god that Wg don’t nerf this ship. I’m keeping my mouth tightly shut.
Fortunately, they can't. Alaska has been sold for cash in the premium shop, and WG has a policy to not nerf ships that were sold that way.
@@Ethereal-ss3jh oh thank god
I love the Alaska but, i just cannot play her well. Thanks for the pointers Flamu
She has a learning curve. I love how he points out how hard her citadel is to hit. I remember my first 10 or so matches with it was nothing but a slew of Dev Strikes before I just learned to hang back and be more passive with her.
When i see this ship im asking myself why the italian have 20 seconds reload xD
Аt the beginning Des Moines chat to you that he wants to cooperate with you, sooooo=)
Why you play on our server?)
Less streamsniping than on EU server.
It's also a Wargaming press account, not his EU account.
My water Looks different.but here it Looks much more realistic. Is this a Mod, or graphic Card?
you always ask what Alaska should be classified as. If in doubt then she is a Super Cruiser
All I want for the Alaska is it's sinking paint scheme
Kronshatd next maybe? That thing is quite awful to play, and it gets countered by everything, especially cruisers that dont show constant broadside or are not RN light cruisers!
Thinking about all the times I took out Alaska's with prinz eugen lol.
Hi Flamu, why do you play on the RU server, do you understand Russian?
Worst thing about Alaska is she gets all focus on her flank.
Every damn time.
You won't end a battle w/o at least 1.5kk of potential damage.
Strangely enough you dont see too many Alaska's in randoms
I see enough, and they always wreck my day.
Why not basics of surv?
Ship-captain
she burns like a bb
BoS alone will reduce fire duration by 9 seconds and flag alone will reduce by 12 seconds.If you combine them you will reduce it by 20 seconds for 3 points.In theory it might sound good but in reality those 3 points are better spend for JoAT and EL where first will reduce CD on all cosumables be it heal,radar and damage con and second skill will reduce reload while swaping ammo.So in the end flag alone is just better option,it's not bad to take BoS if it's your BB captain and you use but the more skills/flags/equipment you stack to reduce flood/fire duration the less bonus you get.I for example use max 2 things that reduce DoT duration because they don't give too much bonus for me and i got so used to play with Expert Loader that i feel weird playing without it.
Who would Win? Alaska v Yamato?
OP as fuck, and doesn't generate as much controversy because it is not Russian.
One of my most favourite ship in my inventory a swiss knives
Did you ever consider the AA interactions when 2 ships protect each other Flamu?
TopTier has some very good material on that part and when see from that pov, DfAA becomes a nearly scary force multiplier.
For pure self protection it lacks behind, for giving your team cover it is more then golden.
I read about this yesterday. Sounds like an interesting theory.
I think of her as a light Battlecruiser.
why is flamus water looking better than my one on max settings?
Aslains modpack with calm water selected and Max graphics mod selected.
