You can expect a lot more Minotaur content on this channel, this ship is hilarious. Need to shake off some rust tho, just realized my last Mino vid on my channel was in 2017 !? Twitter: twitter.com/flamuchz Discord: discord.gg/Flamu Stream: www.twitch.tv/flamuu Insta: instagram.com/flamugram/
I am grinding for the Mino now. I got HMS Neptune a couple of weeks ago and although she can be difficult to play I have had a few satisfying games with her. p.s. I have had fun surprising DD's with a RADAR-Equipped HMS Edinburgh in the past, a lot of laughs were had; "Surpise cockface!" ... to quote from Team America. ;-)
Wait until ranked is back T10 :D and than troll the shit out of the enemy DDs with radar.... Mino is my main ship, its so fun and rewarding if you can play her.
I think Mino is the ship with the highest effective ap dpm in the game.. noone comes close, not even Colbert. It is truly the classic glass cannon and I think an excellently balanced ship by WG, not that we see many of them these days, but still.
Armor is a bit powercrept now sadly, should have a couple more mm all over and that stupid Tetris shaped citadel replaced with a normal rectangle one imo! Apart from that she is a real gem! 🥰
actually colbert has 734,118 AP DPM, Mino has exactly 600,000 so mino doesn't even come close to colbert. ur point still stands though since that makes mino the second highest, beating smolensk by around 50k and worcester by 100k.
Mino divisions are one of the greatest secret memes in this game. Either two smokes + one radar, or the other way around, and you literally just melt everything that enters your firing range. Hell 2 man divs do just as much work too, but it's less amusing to see the rain of shells with a third missing.
I think the thing i have learned over the last few years playing this game is, people don't see it as a team game. To them, they are sailing around doing damage. Thats their goal. Get damage, maybe survive. I actually learned more about this when i had a friend try to pick the game up. He was totally unconcerned with winning or team play, only with surviving and doing damage. I swear everyone just sails around ignoring chat, ignoring positioning, just counting the seconds to their next volley and if they start to get low they throw the ship away to get back to the lobby for the next game.
The problem is that in the early tiers you want to play as a team but you repeatedly get left out in the cold, so you start playing selfish and by t10, there is no team effort. I catch myself a lot still trying to support my teammates in what looks like a push and the next thing I know, they all used the opportunity to turn and run.
@@Skerra-kk6sm they are likely totally unaware that anyone else is "supporting their push". In fact they are probably not aware they are even pushing. Its literally press W, then spend the next 10 minutes zoomed in until i suddenly die.
I think one way to combat this is to have more PVE and Scenarios. A lot of people (me included at times) just want to shoot boats to blow off steam and relieve stress. We need a mode that is less serious and more focused on doing damage.
There was a time you found some players interested in teamplay. but these players have left the game a time ago . . . I think, most likely to WG isn´t interested on their playerbase and their thoughts and wishes, but gaining new players instead, to make more money, sadly. Since the great CC´s left it is getting more worse, in kind of good players . . .
About the thumbnails: They look very cool but they lack consistency. The old thumbnails had a distinct "Flamu" look. Changing the look and advancing is great but I think having a style is important too. I'm sure it will come anyway! :)
Minotaur is still my favorite ship, primarily because people underestimate it. The most overlooked capability is that it is the best ambush ship in the game, and people think they blap you at point blank range, but they don't. If you get close to a BB or a cruiser with no torps they are dead. you can charge in bow on, tank whatever damage their volley does, and then get around their guns and torp or gun them down. Yesterday in Ranked an Annaoplois and montanna charged at me while i was behind an island, I ran out towards them, absorbed their volleys bow on, torped the Montanna and gunned the Annapolis to death while its turrets were still trying to track me. Its simply a monstrous beast of a knife fighter, as long as you don't get unlucky with overpen citadels in the first volley. Its also excellent at medium range. I have more Krakens and more amazing carry games with the Minotaur than anything else.
@@Poctyk Doesnt have the capability to gun down any ship at point blank like Mino does. Pure DPM, very fast turning turrets makes Minotaur insane at knife fighting. you can melt battleships in 15-20 seconds which is critical because it means they never get a second shot at you.
That same talkative captain as on the Neptune yesterday, i`m not a violent person when it is not needed, but this is the second time i`m thinking if i could get away with it if i strangle her. Good show btw, Mino always rocks, or is back in port within 5 minutes.
A lot of players just look at Minotaur and think "Easy Dev Strike", forgetting it's a really powerful ship. And there is nothing more entertaining than dodging entire BB salvos until they give up and shoot something else, only to then find themselves being farmed by an angry Mino. Smashing DDs and especially Smolensk's with a Mino is so satisfying. And so many players get caught out by a Mino wearing Man Pants and running radar. Mino was actually my first T10 and still a favourite, even if I don't play it too often (Grinding multiple DD lines)
You can use all 5 guns bow-in while providing sufficient angle against non-improved pen and non-overmatch guns, stuff like petro and hinden die really quickly since they underestimate and go full broadside to use all their guns then get sawed in half by the minotaur cumshells (assuming no crossfires from bbs of course)
I love her, sadly Napoli took the mantle of my favourite T10 (but I play her only in ranked so far, she is truly hilarious there), so I play Mino less and less. Well I hardly play T10 in randoms, so I am stuck to play it in ranked, however due to the playerbase I just have to stick with Marceau or Napoli in order to win. These two are my most consistent and fun ships to use in ranked now.

The Mino has been a little power crept, it is extremely difficult on the Asian server to play aggressive like in the past, Things that have really hurt her ~ AA nerf (reduced range), concealment is Mino's armour and CV's can really end your game quickly if they use the spotting window. ~ Brawling battle ships (hydro, secondary builds), they occupy the same residence and the Minotaur has really no answer against them. Captain skill rework ~ All heavy Cruisers can opt for extra AP damage (5% 190mm+) which can be deadly to a already fragile ship. ~ very limited CS options = no gun feeder / demolition expert / Consumable specialist / eye in the sky / heavy HE & SAP / heavy AP / Inertia fuse / grease the gears (effectiveness) 33% of CS are unavailable, less flexibility then her peers. ~ More Ships with SAP, Improved AP angles, Radar ~ New German DD's It really is more situational then ever.
I ran 20km Shima on this map playing middle and got over 200k lol, no one ever really knows when they're gonna run out. Literally got hits on people from salvos spotted right after launch xD. Team lost tho.
Do people still play 20km shima torps? They get spotted from the moon. You might get the odd long range hit on sleepy BBs, but in general you're hindering your ships performance
@@bhutchisonbh Yes people do. And that's kinda the point of my story here, they are seriously underestimated. In general yes, they are the worst choice but, It can be fun to play around with the build and run them for shits and giggles. Plus it's Shima, she can work a spread pretty damn well having 15 in a full salvo. People don't give them a lot of credit for what they can do. They underestimate how far they will actually reach and in the situation they dont they may be putting themselves in a really awkward situation to avoid them especially if they were spotted quite some time ago and they know they're coming now they're forced to give broadside to a bunch of people just to prepare to avoid some torps spotted 14km away that are slowly making their way over. And if you watched the video, Malta was obviously running them and getting some pretty hilarious moments with them. They provide pretty aggressive crowd control.
Boasting to Flamu his damage to that Halland while Flamu himself did 18k in like 5 secs...hence the silence during that time...lol But wait a moment...was Flamu watchin Frozen while Minotauring?
well there is true dpm and effective dpm colbert has more true dpm but with much less pen no improved pen angles and short fuses mino has more effective dpm despite having lower true dpm
You don't understand... a DD was spotted there at some point. Clearly half the team has to sit behind islands and wait for a friendly DD to come and cap. Because big ships sitting still beside islands are super hard to hit with torps.
@@ΩΔΣΘ Why mention Malta? Is that the name of the "funny" friend? If so, he is funny in the same desperate way a little boy is when only his mother laughs at his antics... Flamus is genuinely funny guy. Huge difference. I presume he is babysitting. I'm also not your "mate"

What’s the point In trying to play as a team with apes

Is this a new Tier 10 ship?
I stopped playing this game a while ago, but the Manotaur will always have a special place in my heart. I loved it so much.
Forget the Mino.
Malta’s hitting torps?!
i will be very satisfied with tons of mino content... always insane to watch a good minotaur
Finally you got the mino again, I FELT the struggle of the Neptune.

You can run like an Henri and spank like a Petro, but you'll never be cooler than my sexy Mino.
I don't get envious of other players' skills... but when I watch this Mino play I do.
Lmao Malta is the Furious to Flamu's Athene.
Makes these even better.

way better with Jingles voice on mino
that poor hindy...i feel like him almost every game
I mostly feel like the Halland
@@Kcignatius LOL..im sry to hear that
I can't stop seeing Flamu as a young Obi-Wan Kenobi

I feel you Man.❤️ a few days a go i also played the Mino for the first time in ages… this thing shreds especially in division
Mino with radar is that adrenaline surge, nearly non-stop action.
came for the gameplay, stayed for the banter
The random battle is just like a team group project, where everyone wait for someone to start doing anything to start something :v
I like the attiude from your Divmate towards the Game and the Players.
Radar Mino Best Mino!
Classic example of RNG saying no. That Hindy will probably rage in the forums now.
I luv your divmate. Best guy

Petro would citadel mino that use 5 turrets.
@@Korovkin_Pavel mino can arc all 5 at 30 degrees, petro shells auto bounce
İ have tested it against a Real player as the mino in test mode and also have done it in randoms, its definitely possible
long time since i have liked a flamu video. never say never i guess
I've seen afk ships get more xp than that poor Halland

Am I passing cruiser test having 88 211 avg dmg on Mino after 51 battles, playing her only with radar?
"....he was outplayed hard...." , that was luck my young man ;)
I can see that Flamu finally embraced his weeb side by enabling the shipgirl voices xD
"Why do I like the anime girl voice Flamu's using so much, usually those annoy the hell out of me"

Lol that was ridiculous.
Malta cursing at flamu is somehow stupidly funny too
The Mino has been a little power crept, it is extremely difficult on the Asian server to play aggressive like in the past,
Things that have really hurt her
~ AA nerf (reduced range), concealment is Mino's armour and CV's can really end your game quickly if they use the spotting window.
~ Brawling battle ships (hydro, secondary builds), they occupy the same residence and the Minotaur has really no answer against them.
Captain skill rework
~ All heavy Cruisers can opt for extra AP damage (5% 190mm+) which can be deadly to a already fragile ship.
~ very limited CS options = no gun feeder / demolition expert / Consumable specialist / eye in the sky / heavy HE & SAP / heavy AP / Inertia fuse / grease the gears (effectiveness)
33% of CS are unavailable, less flexibility then her peers.
~ More Ships with SAP, Improved AP angles, Radar
~ New German DD's
It really is more situational then ever.

These guys. Laurel and Hardie play wows. Classic
Mino is always a wild ride..
Mino slaps and gets slaps
I hate my Neptune, never play it.... and I looooove my Mino, such a fun and fantastic ship to play... It's my goto ship anytime! :)
When are you gonna play the Charles martel then? the last video was when it came out
Sounds like your friend never played a shima before… or is it just making noice for the stream?
miss the old days, when you can fire mino in stealth mode with range mod ^^ - and than they change it :D back in i guess 2016 or 2017
Are you still confused with the 30s depthcaharge reload?
I got Mino and Wster before i started russian cruisers.... Stalinium armor and Leninium bullets are simply easier to use.
I dont do cardio I play radar MINO every morning
Boasting to Flamu his damage to that Halland while Flamu himself did 18k in like 5 secs...hence the silence during that time...lol
But wait a moment...was Flamu watchin Frozen while Minotauring?
Still only 1080p?
Who is Flamu's wee buddy? He's funny
well there is true dpm and effective dpm colbert has more true dpm but with much less pen no improved pen angles and short fuses mino has more effective dpm despite having lower true dpm
