- The new Soviet T10 Cruiser certainly brings a whole new meaning to the concept of a heavy cruiser. Those 220mm guns can punch through the thickest armor while the ship itself sits impossibly low in the water and is heavily armored. However the poor long range dispersion, lower DPM and poor turning circle help keep it from being completely ridiculous.

I genuinely don't comprehend why they felt this ship needed such low concealment values with a 12km radar. The game should be moving away from mechanics that lack counter-play, not towards them.

This game is just straight up broken and it cannot be denied at this point.
Even funnier now that you mention it, is that the smoke fire penalty for petropav is 9,5 km.......... Nevsky the counterpart that is classed as light cruiser is 10 😂
Stealth radar, BB grade AP, tanky, THIS IS BULLSHIT, only 285mm should be able to citadel BBs, not some 220mm puny guns
Because it's a russisn ship! That's the same reason about Smolensk, Slava and many other russian ships, which never existed in real.
Citadeled DM through the nose somehow last game🤣
Don't worry, WG will surely slightly nerf the AA in 3 or 4 months
Soviet bias is a myth.
@@Espere An irrelevant point. The Petropavlovsk could fly the Austro-Hungarian flag and still be busted as shit.
This ship is so hilariously overpowered I would like to fire the person who sayd this was a good idea
Maybe increase the pen by 30% so it over penerates german citadel.
@@Espere Yeah, sure buddy, sure.....
Gosh, these commie chaps were such amazing ship builders. Strange no one ever heard of them-Iron curtain??
You're right I completely forgot about the Iron Curtain project and how it can render units invulnerable
@@sleepygryph Don't give them ideas!
They should just have different stats on different servers. In Russia soviet ships dominate, in China Chinese ships dominate, in the rest of the world realistic stats because we grew up in free democratic societies, have healthy egos and value truth, morality and fair play
John C and stupidity
@@vardansarkisyan3027 mostly stupidity as you have just seen
I actually vomited at you de-gunning that JB. Absolutely insane.
Jean Bart deserves it. That ship is stupidly overpowered for Tier 9.
@@legendofthefall7082 yeah lol
@@legendofthefall7082 Althou the guns break all the time so its pretty crap for 1vs1 brawling.
Gonna have to really doubt that you actually vomited, dude.
LegendOfTheFall only when u get good position to catch broadside, if not then she is not gonna do much with a lot of HE spammers rightnow
When soviet crusier have much better armour than upcomming "slow US battleships"
Mobility scooters for americans
My exact thought. If 32 mm plating isn't even heavy cruiser level, how tf does Wargaming expect it to be adequate for a BB?
@@JainZar1 is not the platin g the problem, there are plenty of 32mm plating bbs. Problme is that are slow and dont fit the meta at all
Russian ships are made from God's paper and the spread sheet says they are fine! WG are going in the same direction with Wows as they with WoT I stopped playing WoT a while back before 2 years and moved to WoWS but now I'm not having much fun anymore. Balance is off the table for a long time. Unfortunately I think that they are killing WoWS for EU and NA as they killed WoT. Even CIS back in the days didn't like the power that all soviet brings to WoT, I'm sure that they don't like it now as well...
the plating absolutely is a problem. Even the fast US BBs have more armor, which is rather ridiculous
bad long range dispersion, yeah I would like this dispersion on my Bismarck and Gk then
So true... And Bismarck does not have a 9s reload
@xellossaxon you should check against how many nations germany was fighting. Hitler made bad decisions, thats all... In the beginning of WW2 was the german army rolling over the oponents. Russia was not even prepared for this. And what happend at the french coast was at the end a big loose for the allies, if you remember that the german defense line not even was finished. Guns was missing and all the people there...
@xellossaxon the t34 was killing the panzer 3 and 4. Therefor was germany in need to do something. Tje Panther was the answer to the t34 problem... But okay, have nothing with warships to do right now...
@@onepunchbud1472 11s
@@tschagalaga The German surface fleet was MOSTLY outdated and old, but WG has been going a bit hard on them
(yes I am aware that the high seas fleet had very modern ships for its time, I mean the surface fleet of nzi Germany)
11:30 Good thing we don't have real waves in the game. There's a reason why ships have some freeboard. That thing would have a so bad stability, it might pull a Vasa-stunt when maneuvering in the slightest of swell
@@neonlight1214 iirc parts of the Atlantic and the North Sea are worse than the Pacific for ships with low freeboard, or at least more consistently awful.
These ships were probably designed for the black sea or something, they don't have wave problems there
@@Gabriel-sdf I guess they are somewhat based on Black Sea and Baltic Sea only designs (whether limiting your heavy cruisers area of operation this much by design is a good idea is a completely different discussion).
@@Gabriel-sdf No, these ships ere not designed. Don confuse designed ships with fake WG's dreams.
Actually the reduced freeboard only reduces the ships reserve buoyancy. Heavy waves make little difference with all hatches secured. You must be thinking of open boats like a dinghy or a small fishing boat ... or the Vasa. Ships I was on would "submarine" through heavy waves without taking on water. If anything, the lowered freeboard would produce less roll from my experience.
I think it should be balanced by auto sinking in storms and stuff...
guess a hard turn also qualifies.
@@ringowunderlich2241 I would say it doesn't, as this things doesn't do "hard turns". For the rest, I agree.
Edit: Also: barrel life is 3 salvos before starting to loose accuracy at all distances.
Ludicrous AP, improved pen angles, amazing shell velocity, great accuracy at any *relevant* range, 360 degree turrets, better reload than much worse guns at same tier, good range with ridiculous pen out to max, great concealment, great armour, layered citadel. Good AA. Radar. Hydro. Oh and it's so low in the water it's a tiny target.
Downsides: ?
It's OP and I'm tired of pretending the Soviet 'design philosophy' is anything other than to be OP with good everything with best armour and best guns. It's not even funny. It has every gimmick as well as being amazing in every stat.
Downsides :
- very clumsy
- radar is 15 seconds
- awful dispersion at long range
- incredibly bad HE DPM making the ship completely helpless against bow on ships
@@vae9430 way too little. Other cruisers are basically pointless to play now. Radar in 15 seconds? Who gives a shit while u hv 11 SECOND RELOAD guns with 220's penning like 380's...
Va e 15s radar but u can stealth radar lol
@@victorvondoom4869 So fucking what? As a DD you can easily bowtank that radar, he'll get 4k dmg if he's lucky with that crap horizontal dispersion.
@@belladesa91 Except that any other fucking cruiser at T10 will shit on this thing. If you know what angling means, this ship is not nearly as OP as Mr. Russian Bias here shows. It's funny how the entire competetive community agrees on this fact.
Best Battleships in the game: Slava, Kremlin
Best Heavy Cruisers in the game: Stalingrad, Petropavlovsk
Best light Cruisers in the game: Smolensk, Al. Nevsky
Might as well rename the game to World of Soviet Fantasy
wait for soviet CV
More and more like WOT
Do some research before commenting
It's not a problem they add non constructed ships with most of them existed only on papers. For example the German BB line had to be stopped at Bismarck because FDG and GK never existed, only on papers.
The problem is in balance department because they add more OP ships.
WOWS with only constructed ships it will be very boring because of the few ships.
@@sobolanul82 the problem is that real ships ran into real life and thus naturally had limiting factors. Paper designs dont have that and thus its on to the balancing department to know what they are doing...and they don't.
Insane pen, high velocity shells, short AP fuse, impossibly low silhouette, 360 degree turrets, low concealment, low air concealment, strong AA, solid armour, good hitpoint, stealth radar capability.
Once again, Russian ships get all the toys. Why would anyone grind Goliath with this thing in the game?
Mastodon2 Music I’m wondering whether it’s worth continuing the IJN cruiser line, faced my first petro yesterday in my mogami it was not fun :(
@@bismuth8394 LoL IJN cruisers
Nah, the right question is, why to continue to play this pathetic parody. I asked myself, and then I realized, that I had enough. I quit.
Other nations are fodders to the russian
The Royal Navy: The most significant and influential navy the world have ever seen
WG: *Haha HE go boom*
That poor Jean Bart lmao
Of course the battle was basically over at that point, but getting both of your *battleship* turrets consistently knocked out by a *cruiser* until they are fully destroyed, I can't help but feel sorry for them.
The same happened to me in a North Carolina. Had one front turret left. I could Cit a kremlin but could not do it to this thing.
If this thing would move on the atlantic it would go down with the first wave 😂
It wouldnt even get to the Atlantic!
Yeah, with the very first wave, caused by leaving slipway.
@Nguyen Johnathan You're either blind, dumb, troll or all of that.
enlighten the people why... do you think this is the first or last ship with low hull going over the Atlantic? th-cam.com/video/Xf4e4jLTX0U/w-d-xo.html
WG made this ship so blatantly overpowered out of spite for the community.
Nah, just to suck up to Russian nationalism, they don't give two shits about the rest of the world.
Petropavlovsk sits so low in the water they should add a feature where if you turn too fast you capsize and sink, I think that would make for very fun and engaging gameplay
Id say its what a 30k ton cruiser that has less fretboard then a destroyer?
"has as much penetration as bismarck's 380mm"
why again did i buy siegfried?
Remember what happened to brave Russian pre dreadnoughts at Battle of Tsushima which sat dangerously low because of overload and miss calculation...☹️
Yeah, off course I remember it, because I'm Japanese🇯🇵 We won't forget tragedies of our honorable enemies...(｀･ω･´)ゞ
I'm surprised you did not mention the Kamchatka. There is also the fact that a ship by the name Petropavlovsk, Admiral Makarov's flagship, struck a mine and sank in short order. Drachinfel's video on the prior journey is quite an entertaining watch.
@@Jtretta Horrifyingly hilarious video!
@@b-17gflyingfortress6 Remember USN and RN were still building battleships in 40s and IJN tried to build carriers like crazy as last ditch effort... In the end, we had no chance to win no matter what we did🙃
Jtretta Having a small zoo of venomous snakes on board probably doesn’t help. Especially when one gets stuck on a gun barrel...
@@Jtretta I was just about to warn you of incoming enemy torpedo boats. That episode on Drachinifel's excellent channel is more of a comedy wasn't it for the actual loss of life. I still wet my pants though ... Now don't throw your glasses at me ! :-)
But nerf Venezia, and release this thing. What a great company.
Nerf a ship that didn't need a nerf and then release a ship like this 🤦♂️
GG WG. GG.
Counter Petro is easy than venezia
@@carson5066 Venezia needs a nerf though its sap is way to strong, it basickly ignores angling and pens bow in ships it can't over pen so is at a point where a good venzai salvo can one shot a full hp gearing and the gearing can't even turn in since the SAP never bounces
RoydeanEU your kidding it’s DPM isn’t that great with a 15-19sec reload limited with a 50mm pen. They actually neft the turning circle no? Not to mention it concealment problems especially with a cv in the game
@@matty_mccarthy they also nerfed the guns, giving it a 21.5 base reload iirc
"The AP then, the AP is in a simple word: Magical." -> Read: Complete BS.
Magical? All I saw was 4k hits on weird angles that dont do crap with selective clips. I own the ship and as an above average player this ship is worse than moskva in all aspects.
@@LuckDragonProxies u mean ur shit?
@@LuckDragonProxies Can't say I've ever citadelled Stalingrand in my moskva at this angle: 1:20
Other nations never did figure out the magical power of Putinium powder charges.
Like the combo of super-high velocity, no drag, insane penetration, improved pen angles AND short fuse times/low thresholds... Is just too powerful! Most other ships get improved pen angles by way as compensation for them being lacking in other areas.
Welcome to "the magical adventures of the Russian imaginary navy"
Ah ..every time I feel the urge to reinstall WoWS I just watch a recent Flamu Video to get ride of it. Works like a charm. Thank you Flamu.
Ludicrous the way WG continues to introduce super overpowered Soviet paper ships
It's why I uninstalled.
I had the misfortune of sharing the same flank with an enemy triple Petro division in my GK. I had 3 other cruisers with me and they had a Montana. My cruisers evaporated around me and I pretty much single handedly dealt with the Montana. When I was inevitably killed by them I had 2.8 million potential damage, and they had a combined 6 million. 'Strong' i think is an understatement for the Petro.
Stalingrad: I am a very strong T10 Battlecruiser
Petro: I'm cheep
Stalingrad: I have great ballistics and OP shell velocity
Petro: I'm cheep
Stalingrad: I have great ammunition performance and improved pen angles, plus it's 305mm
petro: I'm cheep
Stalingrad: (furious) I have high AF healthpool
petro: I'm cheep
Stalingrad: DAFUQ DO YOU WANT???
petro: I don't cost any steel
Yeah I like playing World of *(cough)* Russian *(cough)* Warships myself. No Stalin wait, I don’t want to go to gulag...
Waiting for the AA mounts HP nerf.
Yeah that is the problem with the paper ships. There is no way they can acutually sail the seas and i am quite sure that the guns would be unsuable after 2 salvos if at all, since you would need so mutch explosives to get the shells to the speeds they are at in game.
His stats: 92%winrate
Avg 5 kills per game
I was playing my newly acquired Thunderer the other day, and I bounced every single shot off a Petropavlovsk who was giving me (what I thought should be) a little too much broadside. A more angled Yamato took 3 pens, of course. This ship is a disgrace... I'm starting to consider moving back to WoT, that game may be less broken in its current state actually.
Edit: Are we just not going to call this ship Overpowered as fuck now? Because it definitely is.
The very first AP salvo I fired from this ship chunked a not-quite-broadside GK for 12k at 15 km. It's pretty insane.
This ship is just unnecessary and clearly the most pay to swim scheme ever implemented.
@@goooooller9353 heh, you can't exactly blame it on p2w since it is a tech tree ship
@@randomassdude2734 you can buy doubloons and free XP this ship so it's p2w. There is no legit argument for this ship in it's current form.
@@goooooller9353 yeah, but everyone can still get it whenever they want just by going through the tech tree line, so it isn't p2w
@@randomassdude2734 it is because the whales will buy dubs to get it early in its broken state, then WG will nerf it a few months later when the f2p get it. They've been doing this for years
"But look, it has a terrible turning circle radius!" Yeah, no. They give this ship every possible advantage, and call it balanced because of slightly less than desirable handling. Welcome to The World of Russian Bias.
Remember those good old days when we thought that ships like the Stalingrad were OP? 😁
I rmember seeing a Kronstadt for the first time and thinking "what the sweet mother of christ is this OP mother fucker?" while it pounded the shit out of my NC. "A cruiser with 70k hp and strong armour? WTF is this bullshit, a joke?".
Lmao now looking back, this ship would have been super useful in terms of doing citadel missions for the PR dry-dock event
idk man this ship seems a little weak for a battleship, i think it needs to have more armor, but to balance it out it should have less AA mount health
I never knew that the Russian Navy was the greatest ever. Thanks, wargaming!!!
because their ships sit very low on the surface, so nobody could notice them. Russian are very clever ;)
@@iiishinryuiii They sit so low because they are constantly taking on water due to lack of maintenance caused by all the free vodka.
I think there's a reason why real ships don't have so ridiculously low freeboards: They want to be usable even when sea isn't that calm. I'd imagine this design would've been stupidly limited in real life in ways the game just doesn't model.
Balance in World of Warships went the way of the Dodo just like reality and honesty. Keep telling it like it is Flamu 👍👍
This cruiser is gonna totally violate the new American BBs. To be fair though, anything is gonna roll over the BBs.
The new American BBs are just food for the subs
I cant see anyone grinding that line. Actually I can but unless you're a masochist your not playing those ships.
Petropavlovsk's ability to wreck Vermonts 1v1 probably isn't anything special compared to other cruisers. If anything she'd be kind of bad at it considering her HE DPM is low.
Kitakami Vs Vermont
@@ShawFujikawa ice breaker that prevents cits through the bow. Any other ship would be dead 1v1 cause they cant bow bounce 457.
so that's "bad" long range dispersion? Am I playing a different game? :D
same lvl with bad long range dispersion on kremlin
Stealthy Icytail Definitely not. Kremlin had its dispersion neutered and looks like German dispersion from a pre buff FDG at ranges further than 15km. This thing maintains a decent grouping at range that makes the Kremlin jealous.
@@wtpiv6041 the soviet super yamato does not need any pity
Ive stopped playing this game as a regular for some time now. And time and again Wargaming dissapoints me by creating these overpowered ships that make no sense what so ever. There is no balance in this game. Its damn sad.
I just take my secondary GK and that's it.
@@swisstraeng same. I play for memes now, not stats
Yea when Flamu says the ship is fun you'll know the ship is just stupidly overpowered compared to other ships.
it is truly a wonder how nations with such rich, and long naval histories, and overwhelming superiority of the sea, such as the UK, USA, Japan, Italy and France, all had to make choices and compromises in regards to Guns, Armour, and speed, and never were able to get all 3 in a single ship, but the soviets were. Must be that the soviets just knew how to build better ships and had better naval research than the worlds premier naval powers.
And then I shoot a Drake, Venezia on their broadside with Ibuki,, shatters and overpens
I think wargaming hate you for you re honest reviews. Thanks for the info.
And nerf IJN AP DB because of too effective.
WG released higher DMG AP DB with heal.
So IRL; she would have decks that are constantly awash, her barrels would wear out in a few salvos, she probably would be so overweight she would be a submarine and her 360 turret mechanisms would be a boar to maintain. In short, she would be as effective as her dreadnought namesake in Tsushima.
In other words, it's another utterly fantastical load of Soviet BS from WG's inexhaustible supply of same. Yawn, what a surprise.
Then consider what's being offered for the new USN BB line. I suspect this thing would 1v1 any of those and laugh.
Don't know why anyone continues to reward WG for the ludicrous garbage this game is throwing up at them.
Considering the new US BB's accuracy makes German BB accuracy in wows look good, this ship would probably dumpster them HARD.
2 Stacks of this freeboard for Goliath? HA
I take 5 of it for Vermont's freeboard.
*casually destroyers all of the main guns on a Jean Bart*
I am a cruiser player, I bought Petropavlovsk yesterday, I just citadelled Vladovstok It's so fun to play
I feel like more than half of the AP volleys in this video were citadels.
Noticed now.. because of the absurdly low freeboard, it's going to be hard for the new AP rocket planes (the ones that everyone hated on because of their damage pot) to punish, unlike ships such as DM and Stalingrad (t10 cruisers with the most similar playstyles).
Petroplavolsk: I'm here
Me: what's the point of hindenburg again?
German sighs
Ok let's get serious, the Hindenburg was supposed to have the gimmick of the highest AP Alpha dmg but Petro has taken that role too, and with the other nations I don't see the point of hindenburg anymore.
It's faster, more tanky, has better guns, 360° turrets and has great AA
Why?????
This ship would take on water if it would be on a lake during a slightly above average breeze...
I would love to see someone in real life make a 8.7 inch gun that can punch through BB armor at normal battle ranges. This gun caliber is designed to defeat cruiser armor in real life. Even the exceptional 12 inch guns on the Alaska with the Super Heavy AP only had the punching power of a 14 inch dreadnought gun. And the KGVs (historically best protected ship) would be able to bounce that gun at long to medium ranges.
TYVM, always enjoy ur reviews. I am looking forward to seeing Greyhound, will come this year
i honestly cant believe youre still playing this game. gotta hand it to you for the commitment
I know I'm a child, but I can't help snickering when Flamu says "Deck Armor".
Gamers: There's no way a rear main turret can make a 360 deg turn in any warship.

WG: Hold my beer.
If you think that this is bad...Slava is coming with the rest of the split line that encourage camping in the back
Its weird...How in the world became the US the Naval-dominant world power and not the USSR? Surely these ships were so good the State Party couldnt turn down any of them?
Glad WG brings us these totally balanced (and reasnobale) ships that shows us just how strong the Soviet fleet *could* have been :)
Also...The Petro looks like it wouldve been sunk by heavy seas the moment it wouldve stepped outside the Black/Baltic Sea...Holy shit I would have *not* wanted to serve on this thing unless Im guaranteed to be in the Baltic/Black Sea. Because one storm and this stupid thing wouldve been on the bottom of the seas
This ship needs a big buff in the current state i guess, maybe 200k HP, 20km torps, or some 30km rockets?
I would suggest cruise missile.
Can we all just see this game as what it is? A retired Soviet admiral's wet dream. How can they take features out of other nations' lines and add them to the already stacked Russian line? It's an all you can eat buffet of broken mechanics. It has all the features that matter when it comes to getting credits and winning. Des Moines has a statistically higher DMP but that doesn't matter when effectively most of the shells are missing or still in the air when you can see them coming from miles away.
WG made Russian tanks in WOT a lot of them overpowered and now I see the same madness in WOWS.
A lot of vodka is drinked in WG balance offices.
they're not even trying to hide the bias now.
WG: give me your free XP for limited time OP ship
I can answer your lots of questions with one simple sentence:
*THIS SHIT NEVER EXIST*
Watching you sit there full broadside, dead in the water citadeling that ship and others in the begining, I've never felt genuinely sad for the enemy.
Flamu is Wargaming kicking you off media chats? Just because you're honest and give accurate reviews? Keep fighting the good fight! When Jingles says there's drama, I am like what???
I find it funny how the Petropavlovsk's 220mm gun turrets rotate slower than the 457mm gun turrets of Kremlin
Wasn't the Venecia with its SAP concidered to be a "counter" to the Stalingrads 50mm deck armor? WG allways said they didn't nerf the Venezia because it excels with cariers. I feel like I'm onto somthing here.
There's nothing better than destroying the 2 turrets of a JB.
This game is sick because of adding such OP ship with every new release((
The Petropavlosk is so low in the water cause the ship never got into bodies of water, hence its could be as low as they want it to be and still "float"
I whaled my way to this ship and it is stupid fun to play, finally a ship that actually punishes potato power armor broadside cruisers instead of just overpen nickel and dime damage
and hey. At least its not another HE spammer
Man, should I really grind for it? Last time when I finally got Venezia, WG nerfed it 2 weeks later. On the other hand, Russian ship, so no nerf coming 😎
Don't worry, the AA mounts HP nerf won't be that bad.
WG will nerf the sigma of 0,0005%, so she will be balanced.
Kremlin had its accuracy nerfed twice. So I guess now we have to rely on the Scotsman's fallacy that that's not a _real_ nerf, oh no.
@@ShawFujikawa I mean, statistics say it isn't a real nerf. If it was majorly over-performing before and now it's only over-performing, is it really a nerf?
I have it and it is fine, and is very good at its specific role, but compared to the Moskva or the Nevsky I would put this one at the bottom of the list. Both ships are far more versatile than the Petro, as they both have really good HE (unlike the horrid stuff on the Petro), long lasting radar, AP that punishes cruisers even at range, the ability to play at range due to their dispersion/innate range (especially with Moskva Leg Mod), and Moskva is still the tankiest cruiser at Tier X other than maybe Stalingrad. Petro is really good if you know how to position, as the ship needs to get closer to fully utilize its advantages, cries if a BB angles against it, and you still need to account for your own angling as while it has the best protection of any Soviet CA broadside it isn't something like the Kremlin where you are mostly unpunishable.
Petro is a fun ship but I honestly find her contemporaries within the same tech tree to be more comfortable and impactful on a match.
This is literally the Obj430U of WoWs. Hard hitting gun with bad long range ,insane armor for its class ,lower than a pancake and annoying as shit in random battles and 430U still hasnt been considerably nerfed for years.
With a freeboard this low, this ship would have been hilariously poor at seakeeping in anything but a calm sea state, oh wait...WoWs doesn't take into account such intricacies.
Considering that the Royal Navy, US Navy & German navy had to take into consideration of operation in the Atlantic ocean where storms and rough waves can topple ships in bad sea conditions, this is giving the "paper" Soviet ships way too many advantages with little to no drawbacks.
Why does everyone turn broadside when you aim at them ? Some kind of event that give doublons?
Because they see the Petropavlovsk so they try to flee ^^
I stopped playing recently, got tired with the unnecessary power creep and huge balance issues (i.e. things like this). Basically the game has morphed into WoT.
Videos are great Flamu 👍
It's funny how most people think this ship is terrible, but this comment section doesn't agree
Because most players dont worship Flamu and actually look at ships objectively
Every time there is a thunderstorm, snowstorm or cyclone the forward turrets should flood and be disabled for the rest of that game. Scharnhorst had that problem with the original bow on sea trials and they had to make the bow higher. A cyclone would sink this physics defying ship every time. Does it take 3 Petros to match the freeboard on a single Vermont??? I just can't imagine why anyone would ever suggest possible Soviet bias from WG...
i think people are exaggerating the strength of this ship, its strong and things should probably be addressed. stealth radar and either nerf the 50mm armor or raise the freeboard. this ship really only does good when shooting broadsides, the HE is ass and long range dispsersion is ass
I usually check in about once a month to see what's new with WOWS and whether or not this game actually deserves to be reinstalled.
In the last year I've seen everything from the Pay2Rico to WeeGee silencing the CCs on upcoming test ships, to fun policing most of the German premiums, the new US BBs look like a joke, and PetroBismol is still a complete floating pile of biased bullshit.
At this rate I'm thinking I should cut my losses and try to sell my account to some whale before WeeGee kills the game entirely.
The only cruiser than can rightfully punish a yamato by AP
I really wish WG would show the “designs” of these ships to “prove” that they were going to built.
They never existed, same with henry4, Republique and so on...
@@iiishinryuiii Yes but 90 percent of the Russian line didn't exist. Other nations have maybe 2-6 paper ships.
they cant show the designs. They're sekret documents
Victor von Doom yes because 1940s technology is still do OP lol.
This ship is just crazy. None of the statistics of this ship make any sense.
I now follow the strategy of firing on Russian ships at any range, even if i'm point blank to another nation's ships (secondaries on close until a Russian gets in range). I feel they are the equivalent of 2 tiers higher than shown, so more of a threat. Maybe the dev's would be sent, by Putin, to Siberia if russian ships weren't the best.
My 16" BB put 23 hits on a Stalingrad at various angles and ranges and it still wasn't halfway killed ( 9 shell bounces ?), a bunch of over pens and few in between.
Again, the game looks good but realism is just not there.
Can’t wait for you to quit WG games. Broken game with blind devs. I support you and your commentaries. But, I won’t be watching any WG videos from now.
Done already.
Balance comrade. Russia dadada!
she gots Hindy concealment or vice versa. otherwise WG is spits in our face and says it's raining
Its a hybrid Submarine cruiser comrade
New ship: Hello i'm a new russian ship :D
Other ships: F**k
I love how wargamming ignores the fact that layered armor in reality is horrible and bad at protecting the ship. And why historically Russians designed for it was because of their inability to manufacture it. I also like how wargamming ignores the historical poor metallurgy of the Soviets that further made thier designs under protected.
Good points here. For most of the other countries, they've designed fun party pieces for each line. They feel fun and add believable variety. But Soviet ships... it's just a fiction and everyone knows it. I wonder if there is some element of ... the p-word here. Is their government hoping to use WoWs as a recruitment tool for their navy? It really makes me wonder. I know for a fact the USN views it as a way to get Zoomers to carry the torch.
What gets me is all the subtle ways that Russian bias gets into the game. For instance the shooting angles, the profile of the ship, the absent superstructure, etc. Things that aren't apparent in the stats but are still key factors to a ship that like all Russian ships get to exploit.
I really miss smoke consumable, 20 km JPN-ish torps 10-10 on both sides) and british-style superheal! They could introduce the depleted uranium or tactical nuke shells for USSR ships in this game for some kind of balance!
CSB hear you over the guns and shells bouncing
I straight up murdered one in my conqueror. he kept trying to push up and i kept lighting him on fire with 7k salvos then he tried to retreat and my carrier kept kim spotted. he was the first kill of the game.
Freeboard = they should make the game more realistic by making it simply sink in any situation which isn't a calm day in the pacific. I don't know if this was even a paper ship but I'm pretty sure the paper would have had better seaworthiness. It should sink if anyone scores a hit on the water within 5km since the wave would flood the thing.

Compared to most ships the AA is strong, it's just that AA basically doesn't exist rn.
