    Another great video. The line drawing drop-ins of the Japanese battleship studies were a wonderful touch! I always very much enjoy the history lessons at the beginning of your videos.

      @@tacticangel Yeah, as much as I thought T8 was needed between T7 and legendary, I'm finding that I don't have much interest in most of the ships. I wish they had up-tiered some T7s (Iowa and Georgia come to mind) or nerfed legendary tier to make it closer to T8 instead. As it stands now, I'd much rather just play the T5-7 ships that actually existed!

    Informative and precise as always, combined with an unbeaten production value. So sad that serious content doesn't get the same attention as some self-proclaimed toxic superchads or clickbait video titles...

      Thanks Netztramp! I'd probably be better off making twice as many videos that took half as much time, but it's ok either way. I'm not looking to be famous for playing boats. 😎 Just glad people enjoy them.

      @@jimmyellner4763 - I've only played a handful of games with it in Standard, so fewer than I would like in order to make a review on it. My initial impression of the ship is that it is very, very min-max, the kind of ship that excellent players can make great, good players will do ok in, and the average person will not consistently enjoy.
      She can do sort of silly amounts of damage if your enemies do equally silly things in front of it, but anything that stays bow-in to it will be able to avoid a lot of it's potential. Some ships with minimal superstructures are very hard to damage at all when bow-in. I would compare it's smoke favorably versus Belfast '43, but it's survivability is pretty similar. Since Belfast has HE and more smokes, I would expect Plymouth has even less hard-carry potential than Belfast, though. All of this is complicated by how sluggish she is to slow down, with her turns, and speed in general. She's slower than German cruisers, which complicates any attempt to run away.
      I pretty much only play her in Arena where I can hide most of her problems in a division with two destroyers. I generally don't think I play Edinburgh or Belfast well enough to consistently like Plymouth, but some of that is obviously just how I play the game.

      @@tacticangel Thanks for the review! I am no huge fan of the Belfast 43 so you just saved me 17500 doubloons as I will save them for a ship that I will enjoy more than the Plymouth. I was not an active player when one could get the Wichita CE, but I purchased the Wichita that is in the store now. And I must say I really enjoy it! Otherwise I watch your reviews to guide my purchases in this game and so far I seem to have a play style that is similar to yours albeit that I lack your skill. I am an amateur captain but I enjoy sinking some ships together with friends, even if I never will get as good as many players out there. :-)

    You might wanna look at KGV's recent(ish) citadel change. It is quite susceptible nowadays, not like it was when it was nearly impossible to citadel.

    • @tacticangel

      Oh geeze... probably should have looked at the armor model first. That's the dreaded T-shaped citadel. 😄

    My favorite quote is...and I quote....
    "Those shells were a little bit a-kinda all over the place..."
    (Angel, T. 2023)
    In my opinion, I think those shells landed somewhere in East Landing, Michigan...near a TV repair shop, but that's just me.
    That quote needs to be on a

    Feels like a jack of all trades master of none ship. Does everything okay, doesn't really stand out in any aspect. Comfortable is definitely a great way to describe it as you said.

    • @tacticangel
      @tacticangel  Před rokem +1

      Kind of? I still think the AP pen is a problem on a battleship. When I think comfortable, I think more of a pair of slippers. There are plenty of things that I can do perfectly well in a pair of slippers. There are some things that maybe I can't, but at least it doesn't feel bad. 😄

    Not that any T8 ship earns silver, but it seems the best way to do so on this one...is to complete the Campaign, because you want the Commander items, and then sell the ship.

    • @tacticangel
      @tacticangel  Před rokem

      True, but some do seem to make a bit less than others on account of wonky shell and torpedo costs, and overall, it seems less profitable than ye olde tier VII and its kind of a bummer.
      But I actually do like this ship, personally. 😄

  • @wecanjump7512
    @wecanjump7512 Před rokem

    This ship has to be played at extreme range. Spec for accuracy and use Kondo as one inspiration for stealth. Basically, just treat her like a Japanese cruiser. But instead of HE, just sling AP and launch torps into gaps.

    • @tacticangel
      @tacticangel  Před rokem +2

      I never had much luck with that against battleships. Against cruisers it tended to work, but I had a lot of issues with pen on this ship.
