Funnily enough you can actually almost turn Elbing into a torpedo boat on console. Using a specific captain, you can get the torpedo reload is down to around 60 seconds, and then you can just shit them out pretty much whenever you feel like and get quite a few random hits doing so.
@@tomsmithie3917 for real. i'd say the Elbing is better than a lot of cruisers. if only matchmaker treated it like a cruiser while still giving it the benefit of no citadel i'd say it's a 9/10
by that logic all whales should have better winrates, which is not that case. Its more like this infamous quote of some WG guy, who said, that they (WG) use the mm to try to keep everybody as close to 50% (as in: pushing bad players and dragging down good players) as they can. Sadly and like so many of WGs ..hum..ballancing attemps , they only do it half assed and didnt think it through, so in the end the unicon divs and cvs get the carrots, while the solos get shat on by everybody (WG and community).
If spending money placed you with better players so you win, then your stats would be improved but so would that of the good players being grouped with you. This would create a very wide winrate discrepancy where players will tend to be either very bad (because they get stomped) or very good (because they get to stomp); less around 50% winrate. The fact there is no such thing in the game means you are factually incorrect in thinking that. Also, I got into N0KAP without spending a dime and most others haven't either so... You can easily tell it's not about spending when most of the top clans don't actually spend.
I feel this is pretty spot-on, I had another bout of playing botes lately and as soon as I stopped spending monies and gold on the game pass and other stuff the teams I got thrown on were absolutely horrendous; however as somebody said here it's done half arsed to say the least so it's really inconsistent. Also weekends are absolute hell right now.
@@trosc It's not actually true. Wether you spend money or not, matchmaker is the same. It would be very obvious if spending money affected your games because you would see stat variation between spenders and non spenders. Weekends are always hell because weekend players are far worse.
So surprising that the Preussen dies there. If only someone had pointed out to him that it was not a good idea. & with everything 5 players have still managed to get less Base XP.... Clearly the thinking man`s action game
I saw the title and remembered my best stats game ever was a 330k 6 kill Montana rampage. Which I lost. I got more XP than anyone on the enemy team, by miles. When the potatoes decide they need to lose, there is no way to win. You may as well fight the tide.
5:41 the reason why I always reserved the 4th mouse button (right hand thumb) to manual selection of target. Lol it definitely helps and you do it with habit much faster than auto switch target. GG +300k in Elbing, that’s something for sure. 👌
It's funny you mentioned "I'd torp f out of me if I was shima". That's usually how most of Elbing players die lol Edit: + most of gun dd players with smokes.
Edit #2: also most cruiserplayers with smokes die this way. It's on par with smoking up in radar range of radar ship (preferably full broadside of course)
even if your team was bad and the game was a steamroll, without cvs or subs, the game was still fun for those who actually played Who would've guessed?
This game needs a proper match making system that puts the unicums against each other. And then the potatoes like myself pitted against other potatoes.
Those "torps" are slower than some DDs. Even calling them torps instead of mines is a stretch. NVM to the average hands players those a hypersonic missiles.
fax. Sometimes I get a smart team in ranked being a dd and I almost do nothing, they dont give you enough time to get at least good damage or even a kill
The only way to guarantee a win is to kill all 12 enemies yourself. My dmg record was a 370k Smolensk round with 6 kills....I had 4 million potential and ran out of map to run after 16 minutes....the CV dev strikes me then...the game was so stupid...my team was unable to do anything despite me killing 5 guys alone and tanking 5 guys alone....
What? Did you completely miss the Moskva zoning out that entire cap with his 12km radar? You think he would've ignored me pushing into the cap? "Lets farm", more like "Let's not suicide".
The more I watch your videos, the less passive you play( if DD isn't capping, no surprise you lose. I'd rather go into charge and die, than passively spam torpedoes. Yes, you are great at map reading, but it's boring to me(
At least my ultraagressive style still gives me 66+% winrate. I don't hesitate to charge Moskva or Stalingrad on my gearing\daring\kleber, and win duel because of fires. Dds are so overpowered, I don't understand, why you are afraid of engaging. Only light cruisers and superships can deal with gunboats
@@Y0urricane Your winrate is 57.61% and your most played ship is Midway, you also seal-club a ton in carriers, why do you make up nonsense? proships.ru/stat/ru/p/113963029-Yourricane/solo/ Do you think it'll make you look better? It doesn't.
oh lol...that preussen tells Flolo to go F himself and 2 minutes later (after dying, of course) he accuses the team of being F-ing animals who can't play the game. That's hilarious
perfect example of how damage and kills net your the highest reward yet still don't win you the game .... sadly damage and kills are still the most rewarded actions in the game ...
yup, been there. Last time 5 kills 293k dmg in a Daring - loss. That is why i liked Dota2 more- you can actually carry due to the respawn system and how the different heros + items work. Tried it not that long ago for the first time since 5 years and man, Dota com has zero tollerance. You tell them at the start "plz guys be nice-havent played for 5 years, been a solid 2600 mmr player -check my profile - but reaaaally rusty. So have some patience-PLZ" and then , after u died the first time and didnt do what you should have done (true) you have 4 teammates unloading the whole potential of their tourette syndrom on you (and your family + ancestors+ country) for the rest of the match. I guess wows made me soft-not able to endure that anymore^^
Just uninstalled the game and stated as reasons "Submarines and Aircraft Carriers made me stop playing". Still enjoy your videos and streams playing the game.
@@Flamuu and btw you compare the 7.9 detection of Khaba with the 6.5 detection of Elbing ?? really ?? and you dare to speak about a lack of understanding ...??? ok. nothing more to say, you're cute !
CV’s are still worse than subs. Subs at least have some form of counter play, where in contrast you won’t be able to kill CV on your own even if you do spot it and are in range.
Just because you don't like Subs doesn't mean it's not a good addition to the game cuz I actually enjoy using them the only change I would make is set the cap at 2 and not 3.
Maybe if you capped D sooner, or at least when your team members asked you to do it in the chat, instead of chilling in the smoke - game could've lasted a little longer... But hey ... team play is overrated. In the world of Flamu it's all about stats shaming and damage farming.
If this video makes you depressed, you need to see a therapist. Or better, don't play wows. Because most battles are actually worse. Unless you're a CV or sub main who just loves to trample on everyone else.

dude is russian and 80 years old. he's the wiki definition of stubborn
Preussen's mindset is so simple. More targets = more secondary hits. Running into a 1v3 situation perfectly fits the German BB playstyle.
You utter fool! German science is the world's finest!
running into brawling situation where he's surely going to die while listening to Sabaton, such masculinity
This is why I hate German BB's, they're designed to cater to the lowest IQ players ever to grace this planet. Press W, get free damage, die, next game.

I did almost 300k with Elbing and it was a defeat too. It's a nice light cruiser btw...
It's so nice how it has no citadel and such amazing concealment.

They did that in World of Tanks

17900 shima: my reason is beyond your understanding
"I'd smash me" ~Flolo 2023
Truely one of the teams of all time
Not really; quite typical of how appalling most players are these days.
I guess you needed to do a meager 400k.
Elbing in Flamu's hands becomes Hellbing
Flamu's up against two teams during half duration of the match.
this is one of the few games where you can do the work of an entire team on your own and still lose
5:41 the reason why I always reserved the 4th mouse button (right hand thumb) to manual selection of target. Lol it definitely helps and you do it with habit much faster than auto switch target.
GG +300k in Elbing, that’s something for sure. 👌
Spacebar is even better.
Gearing helped a ton in the end.
I never saw double digit torp hits on Elbing, truly a blessed game

Who would've guessed?
I love that the tops are so slow that the engagement is over for about 20 seconds before they hit. Nobody expects them loool
The Torp hits....crazy
Flolo is gonna get Elbing nerfed
Anyone else read the title and immediately think "in this game no not even close"
This ship is comfy to farm with
Reminds me of a 7 kill game with musashi that I still lost
True Hybrid DD gameplay! How BROKEN are torpedoes?!
Subs in WoWs - a case study for the sunk cost fallacy.
i was asking my self today if flamu will ever release another elbing game
What a beauty WG is... instead of fixing Match Making... they offer Rubber Ducks!!!
Just another day at WOWs.
Kudos to Gearing abd Venezia too. Chads
Everybody complains about the matchmaking in this game...but you don't fight battles with the fleet you want...you fight with the fleet you have.
This game needs a proper match making system that puts the unicums against each other. And then the potatoes like myself pitted against other potatoes.
Elbingbong strikes again...
When you lose but have more silver stars than the first person on the winning team... Says a lot about both the enemy and your team mates.
i was there pogchamp
that just proves that winrate doesn't matter, because of games like this where no matter what you do you're fucked
Reminds me of the unfortunate Halland game….

1. Elbing torp build

Minute 9:32 I didn't understood what he says but the captions show me that he says the danger here is 😅😅😅😅

Хороший бой.
I didn't see it yet, but I hope you win. I just had a T6 (Izmail) 197K, 4 kill loss :D I hope this'll be better 😅
Those "torps" are slower than some DDs. Even calling them torps instead of mines is a stretch.

Such high damage numbers are only possible if your team suck and die (before you). If you have a good team and win to fast its not possible.
fax. Sometimes I get a smart team in ranked being a dd and I almost do nothing, they dont give you enough time to get at least good damage or even a kill
I just realized that Flamu no longer has a babyface, WoWs has worn him out to a level that he now sports Klingon-level forehead wrinkles
Cant believe they put subs in 1v1 brawl.
Wows players struggle math... classic. You didn't throw your back out completely; it seems the DDs played decently.
Who's to blame here? The one who can carry and doesn't? Or the one being carried? With great power comes great responsibility. 😄
Why is he playing in a cyrillic language and which one is it?
He's on the russian server, things are named natively on there.
It is depressing playing this game these days, 300k kraken and still a loss.
Gearing should go for central cap and then torp the shit out of everyone.
11:11 flolo kinda sus??
Interesting how all the Russian Ships on the Russian Server are written in Russian, and everything else is in English.

More bxp with loss than the top earner on the winning team? The math is not mathing here.
U could cap C in front of kremlin, then u won. Stalingrad in that moment was far away. But no, let's farm more damage...

When a DD just do not care about capping.... That's a lost battle...sorry you have your part in the defeat.
Elbing isn't a capping DD, especially not in a radar and DD heavy game. It's like complaining why a Khaba isn't capping, shows lack of understanding.
