Playing Gearing in WoWS after so many years

  • Gearing used to be a really good USN tier 10 tech tree DD, and the only counter to Shimakaze, back in the day. It was always a decent pick until WG started going full bananas and every second ship they introduced was stronger than any ship released before it.
    Now days Gearing feels SOOO powercrept it is insane. I do not know why they at least do not give it a heal. The amount of guns it has and the shell velocity is really not good, it has great concealment but no heal and not a very high HP pool with good torps but slow reload, and its AA is useless just like everyone elses.
    Either way I managed to get a good game with it but I really wish WG would buff it a bit.
    Enjoy and have fun watching ;)

    Flambass, I’ll never forget your KOTS match on the Atlantic map where you went down through the A cap. No ships had been spotted yet on either side. As you passed around the end of the island, suddenly torps appeared from nowhere and sank you before the match had really even started. There were no words. OMNI was out of the competition.
    When I checked in later, you were streaming Subnautica, trying to forget about it, diving super deep in your new PRAWN suit. In chat I asked if you were “looking for your Gearing?” and got a good laugh from you. 😂
    It’s been a long time, thanks for all the fun. I think I need to send you a lil $omething….

      When I saw the video title the same memory came to my mind.
      Flambass + Gearing = tournament, torpedo hit, Subnautica, "are you looking for your Gearing?"
      I would not call it funny, it just burnt itself into memory. One of the best competitive DD players gets sunk early on in the finals. A combination of bad luck and that the other guys knew how to play, too.

    I remember when the Gearing was an absolute terror as it could just stay at range and stealth fire as firing didn't increase detection range back then.

    • @maxx_2245
      @maxx_2245 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Same, I think I first saw Flambass playing that exact style of Gearing on Jingles' channel!

    • @onebigfatguy
      @onebigfatguy Před 6 měsíci +11

      Thank God that shit is gone at least. It was truly one of early WOWS biggest cancers after CV's.

    • @gothia1715
      @gothia1715 Před 6 měsíci +8

      Yeah. Stealth firing was just broken. Glad they removed it.
      That, Yamato with superheal, 20km Shima torps being good, the grind being insane, etc. Early WoWs was crazy. Imo it peaked in quality after they fixed those childhood illnesses, added better eco bonuses and CVs were still RTS. Around 2017-2019.

    The torp dodge at 9:40 was epic. I would have taken at least two in complete panic.

    • @billhanna2148
      @billhanna2148 Před 6 měsíci +1

      He says he hasn't played it in a long time yet he STILL has the skill set to bag a much faster DD and not take a single torp ....pure skill set that many of us will never master 🤣😂 yes I replayed that in slow mo about a dozen times just to learn something.

  • @derhesligebonsaibaum
    @derhesligebonsaibaum Před 6 měsíci +9

    I personally play the long range torps on Gearing because people just forget about the range and sit where they think they are safe.

  • @frontsightm1a

    Those old fire chance percentages on Gearing are brutal. 200+ shell hits in that game and three fires.

      Especially with other people, the smoke and scouting ability are great, but that's generally not something you can really use with just randoms.

    I often wonder if it worth getting back into this game and just focusing on playing a single ship and becoming completely specialized in it.
    Haven't convinced myself that it is worth it yet.

  • @derhesligebonsaibaum

      I thought the exact same thing. These ego maniacs just can't handle it when they cannot make a ship work. So they trash the ship AND the people that potentially watch their channel. It's quite petulant.
