Neptune is arguably the low point in the British light cruiser branch; she's exceedingly fragile and begins facing a lot of opponents who are primed and ready to take advantage of that fact. Captains will have to use hard cover (islands), soft cover (smoke), and a lot of cunning to keep this ship in a game. Once they learn how, though, they're rewarded with an insane amount of firepower packed into a tiny hull. In this video I'll talk about how I build my Neptune, why I fit her out that way, how I recommend playing her, and follow all of that up with a game demonstrating the ship in action.
Enjoy!

Outstanding vid of what Neptune can do. I hated grinding the Neptune for the cit alone. In typhoon, I ran head long into a Petro, who put all his guns through my forward shell trap. Very frustrating, but I don't know why, I did exceptionally well in Fiji, poorly in Edin, but at least back up to average in Neptune.
Shame about Edin, she's such a great ship.
Bravo SeaRaptor.. Bravo, what a Masterclass in Neptune!
Always loved this entire line. Never got good at radar-playing them. 😂 Awesome play Raptor. 👍
I really like the British lights. Great review, thanks.
G'day SeaRaptor, I think your "Learn to Play" vids are the best this community has and is an essential tool for new players. I believe you do this primarily for them and I find it a bit puzzling why you played the Edinburgh and Neptune as Radar when this build is best for players with more understanding of the game. I think it would be more helpful if you provided an example that would better suit there skill level i.e smoke build, you said so in this vid. I would like to suggest maybe in the Minotaur vid that will come next in this line to do a smoke build and show the different play style needed compared with radar.
Thanks for what you do and keep up the great work. 👍
In fairness, if you want to play smoke Edin and Neptune, you're going to keep playing them like you played Fiji and Leander. I'm not sure there's a lot more to add to that conversation. Playing a smoke cruiser is truthfully pretty easy, and this line lets you start learning how to do so as early as Tier V. Only at the high end of the line do you have options, and I think it's worth showing players that the other option is viable, even in randoms. It may not be easy, but it CAN work. I always caveat that by saying - in both videos, and I will say so again in Minotaur - that if you prefer smoke or are uncomfortable with the radar, there is not a damn thing wrong with continuing to play smoke.
So many videos . . . . so . . many . . videos ;)
Neptune is comin' up for me, good to see this.
Hmmm I wonder how many folks will quote the 'false' view of, 'AA doesn't work, everyone says so,' he he. On cruisers with great inherent AA, I have followed your points and I can really ruin the day of a carrier. Just had 54 aircraft kills this morning in one game; no hits on me, I watched for incoming and steered to my advantage and let the AA do it's work.
So I finished the grind from neptune to Mino last week and have been looking forward to this. These are my stats. I am only a very average player, and do not pay for Premium, although did get some free premium days along the way. I did not free xp any of it either. 70 battles in total, 44% win rate, survived 21 battles, 1257 avg xp, 44723 avg damage, 131294 max damage, 3107 max xp. It felt like as soon as you are spotted the priority target number goes 1,2,3,4,5. Everybody shoots at you because you just explode so easy. I had games where I was dev struck before even shooting my guns, was dev struck in smoke multiple times, and couldn't do anything on some maps with little or no cover. Then you get the crazy games where you get over 100k and don't get sunk. The shells come down covered in ice coz they have been in the air so long! This ship can drive you nuts. Love these videos Raptor, so good. Reminds me of Whiskeys gaming lounge back in the day. o7
This is about as accurate a summary of grinding out Neptune as I can imagine. It's a roller coaster. The ship is not bad, but she's fragile and will sometimes explode on you (because the other team knows you're fragile as well).
I'll be completely honest, I'm not brave enough yet to get this ship. Still working on the radar Edinburgh that you recommended. I adore the Santander so I hope that bodes well. "Because...he's a Scharnhorst and that's what you do when you're in a Scharnhorst". Laughed my butt off over that comment. That Fletch did what smoke dds SHOULD do. Good game.
Thanks Rap. It is a challenge to play but very satisfying when you manage to have a battle impact. PS I hope you complimented that Fletcher 🙂
Damn skippy, that guy was a rockstar.
Hi Sea Raptor! I can tell you, If i saw your name on the Enemy lineup I'd go the other way too lol. Thank you, learned a couple more things on the Line!.
@SeaRaptor thanks for your work 😍
My pleasure!
Radar Neptune or as I like to call it, "Hate-une" just because it will draw so much agro...
Any Neptune gets shot at by opposing BBs saying "mine mine mine"...
@@SeaRaptor Yup, but when you get that DD that thought they were safe in smoke, they rage so hard in chat after... Apperently the idea of radar nuptune is game breaking to them.
In randoms they are so rare, most people simply assume you aren't one.
@@SeaRaptor Which makes it so much more amusing when you are and the DD's brain breaks for a few seconds, long enough for your to delete them before they can get moving.
