  • čas přidán 25. 07. 2024
  • The very first of a new series of vids I will do sometimes, don't expect em too often as they are quite time-consuming to make. Features an extremely in-depth analysis of my decision making during a T8 game in my Farragut with a 6-point captain. Unlike normal games I will frequently pause gameplay to explain the reasoning behind various moves, hopefully helping you in turn recognize things you need to pay attention to while playing.

    What does Super Unicum mean? It's a term that has moved over from WoT, referring to the top 0.1 percentile of players. Example of WoT rankings; i.imgur.com/e5z0iIh.png On the RU account that I'm playing in the video for example, I'm ranked second on the entire Russian server in their ratings.
    Let me know if you enjoyed the vid and would like to see more like it. I won't do them too often as they are quite time consuming (a 10min game became 26mins of video), but I can make one every now and then if they are appreciated.

    This is one of the best video for unskilled potatoes to learn how to play the game. Excellent work.

      Unfortunately potatoes don't watch youtube or try to improve themselves

    • @Rakshiir
      @Rakshiir Před 6 lety +5

      Yes and no I'd say.
      First of all you have the problem that alot of the really bad players don't really want to imrove. They won't read chat, won't react to any useful tips and tricks.
      Some of them don't even understand that they are actually not playing well, and because of that they don't see any reason to improve (as we all know, its always the team thats bad...)
      Also, as a bad player, this video would be alot of information to process (maybe to much, and it won't help as much as you'd think. I mean yeah, its better than doing nothing to improve, but still... could be to much information at once).
      I think this video is better for people who are above 50% winrate and already have a good basic understanding what to do, just need more information when to do what to actually achieve it.
      For the very new players or the very bad players the basic commentary would be better, to get to that basic understanding what you need to do, what is your role and so on.

    • @ypark8481

    This is why I watch your vids more than any other WoWs channel on YT. Even picking up the smallest detail here would make for much better players & more competitive environments (and less infuriating potatoes). Make more of these please.

      Definitely. I would like to have some BB "Super-Unicum"-Analysis pls (as I play them quite a lot).
      This video, and his last one about german DDs, really improved my playstile with DDs. Finally pushed my Geade over the 50% winrate :)

    • @junkiexl86
      @junkiexl86 Před 6 lety

      Between Flamu and Business6, my WR and average damage/kills have definitely gone up since watching them and paying attention to how they handle various situations. I've gone from a measly 48% WR to almost 60% in a pretty short amount of time. I rarely play in divisions as well.

    • @yourrightiamwrong9643

    • @feyfamily9985
      @feyfamily9985 Před 5 lety

      AKUJIRULE to be honest, I started playing this as only a “game”...didn’t take it seriously, just fun with my teenage sons. Then I was introduced to Jingles and Flamu and I really wanted to improve and learn. Unfortunately I already had around 2k battles so it becomes difficult to quickly improve stats. I started another account on another server with my new found knowledge and my stats are night-and-day compared to my old account. I learned and others will too. Still frustrates me when someone judges me by my original account stats as WR is only 49%, but I am more than happy to let my in-game play prove them wrong.

  • @AceHawk37
    @AceHawk37 Před 6 lety +17

    I love this type of commentary and its why I sub. There are tons of replay channels out there, but I watch this one regularly to learn new things to think about while I play and therefore become better at the game. Thanks Flamu!

  • @sleepygryph
    @sleepygryph Před 6 lety +15

    Very nice gameplay video. Showcases how to minimize weakness, maximize strength and how to weigh risk when going up against opponents. These are all things that can be applied to any ship in the game. Well done.

    @lanoa111 Před 6 lety +4

    @indy11original Před 6 lety

    WOW. Thank you so much. I don't know if I will have the presence of mind to go through all of those analytical steps but having you explain all of it this way certainly gets me thinking about how much better I should try to play this game.

    @Trblmkr07 Před 6 lety +3

    Yes I love this kind of commentary. This can take a persons's gaming up to a whole new level by learning how to watch the mini-map and try to predict what the enemy is going to do. You can find stats all over the place, but no other CC's provide this type of strategy thinking. TYVM!!!

    Definitely do more of these, please! Seeing things happen is one thing, but understanding why they happen, and that you can affect events during a battle by using certain information - that's really not available anywhere, so listening to your internal monologue during a battle, so to speak, will be extremely helpful to many players who want to improve their gameplay. I've already seen (been the victim of) your explanation of how to shoot at someone in smoke, so people definitely learn from your videos.

  • @glrider100
    @glrider100 Před 6 lety

    I can't say thank-you enough! This is precisely what I have searching for ever since I started playing WoWs. It's also good that you're doing this with lower tier ships. I watch other videos and they're all Tier 9 or 10 ships, and the author just assumes the viewers have ground their way into the higher tier ships, and that they somehow know everything about all the opposing ships, etcetera. This is so refreshing to see this indepth analysis.. To see things explained. I hope you continue these episodes... maybe one a week?
    Again.. thank-you, thank-you, thank-you

Your videos are much more game play focused than some casters, and this was taking it to a new level, knowing even more about the thought process of one of the game's best players. I'll take as much of that as can has.

Really well done, can we have more of this content please? I think it is unique to your channel and sets you apart from some other content providers...

  • @UnintentionalSubmarine

    Most excellent commentary.
    I am myself quite good, good enough that I can expect to be the best in any given match, but this commentary really showed me how far I have yet to go. I still go a hell of a lot by my gut-feelings, and only really consider the immediate options. Especially the Kiev encounter was illuminating. That consideration of the friendly and enemy layouts was well beyond what I am normally able to do.
    To be shown just how quick you calculate and figure fights out, it's quite humbling.
    Do make more. The potatoes out there need to know that things are possible that they presently think is not, and not because of luck, but because it is possible to stack the fight in your favour, continually and in situations where it might look horribly grim otherwise.

    Fantastic video. I think I am finally getting better at high tier DD's thanks in part to this sort of education, along with having a 17 point captain!

    It was very nice to see how the best think, i would love to more vids like this. It will help all but the very best to become better players. I hope it will give people an idea what to do, other than sit in the cap and snipe.

    Wow! IMHO, not only is this the best video I have seen from you ... it's the best WOWS video I have watched from anyone. EVER!
    I rate it as an advanced class in how to DD. I am closing in on 8000 matches and this vid pointed out several errors I commonly commit and and some bad habits in my play style. Thank you very much and please continue in this vein at whatever pace you can afford. I'm nobodies "fanboy" but I have to say it looks like you are starting up a WOWS University at a perfect time.
    Well Done,
    Das Bat

    Great video. We would love more yes. We also appreciate the extra time Flamu, but these videos are the most important. WG should give you a bonus for helping all the new players. Thanks again. :)

    Excellent Commentary. Would love to see this type of Video again especially for Higher Tier Cruisers, where map awareness and Positioning is vital to your Survival and positive impact in the game. Thanks Flamu.
