I got this ship in hopes that it gets a buff in the future but it’s not as bad as some reviews suggest it’s serviceable.

Here before the Sandy Cult arrives.

Great review as always. Keep it up!

That’s a funny looking aircraft carrier 😅

You should do a live stream! Would love to watch one :-)

I agree with your review, typical German DD with great sonar with trade offs.

I like this better than Z44 & 46. The problem isn't the ship it's the Player

18:00 How I justify playing whilst doing housework. For hours :) Nice review like always!

Meh, with the reload nice and all, but a turd is still a turd

Review of Navarin next please. I've gotten many dev strikes with Navarin, my favorite being a five citadel dec strike on Yamato. I'm a secondary BB main but Navarin main guns are slept on I feel. I have enjoyed your premium ship reviews over the years and would like to see what you have to say about Navarin.

Haven't played this one yet so your comprehensive review is most appreciated. GG Tactic o7

I appreciate that this ship came as a “rare” or better “occasional” T7 campaign in the current usual scheme of mostly T8 campaigns. More options to match against mostly LT gives me hesitation to do the campaigns, but T7 campaigns I’m more than happy to play through since I’ll always be glad for more money makers. Especially in this case since this is as you described a generally decent workhorse of a DD, nothing too flashy, but has the tools to do the things a good DD aught to do to help the team win. While also I agree not being quite as dominant as the likes of Z-35 or maybe even T-61 are at their respective tiers.

Any video that mixes in a Bogart clip is an immediate upvote. Unless it's talking about missing strawberries

Does this mean you finally have time to protect freedom? 💪

Ive heard through the grapevine that its not getting nerfed any time soon.

I've seen her counterpart in Azur Lane. Though... unless I'm mistaken, the Soviets had no aircraft carrier of their own in WWII, right?

I know this video is old but I love the fact that everyone hates on this ship but yet praise gref spee with literally the same turret setup and less guns. Explain to me how that works again.

Planned obsolescence

Pretty crap that I can't just buy it with real cash 😢

In my opinion and it’s only my opinion but for me it’s the best looking cv in game

That's what I'm talkin bout Tactic...DDs getting some due justice (1812 Overture is a nice touch as well)👍

I really wish the AA was more effective in game. I think it would be a decent system if the middle ground rating bracket would protect your ship and the upper ratings would provide an area of protection that other ships could hide in

Now this. This is the content we need !!

Excellent snark with the intro, really sets the mood. The pen on those skip bombers is a mere 68mm by the way, very balanced. I've pretty much reserved myself to playing T5 or sticking to arcade mode for T6 to avoid Chkalov, but this new pirate themed T5 DD Le Glorieux is insane.

İ m a cv hater but ı m playing Chakalov. It ıs so powerful and efective .but i think tier7 Cv matches are unfunny for surface ships now.cvs dont belong this game.or they must have ownmode.

awesome video👍, never leave youtube or i will be sad 😢

Thanks for the extra effort to provide great content!! 🎉🎊🥂

Leave the damn carriers alone. They already nerfed the gameplay with the fuel and spotting. Also russian carriers are the easiest to dodge. Stop sailing broadside and you won't get nuked.

This isn’t where I left my Chkalov….. great video as always.

Another incredible Tacticangel video that’s filled with snark that is also highly historically relevant. Literally could not have said any of this better, myself.

After you drop, your returning aircraft disappear from the mini map and reappear on the mini map just prior to landing. Is that normal?

I like your videos because you talked about the history of the ship. 👍

Duck carriers every time i see a mofo in my game il go straignt back to port and start new game bye

Ah the ship that has forced me to endure L tier instead of tier 7

Had a feeling I was gunna make a guest appearance on this video eventually 😅😅, GGs TA !! Enjoy her while she's here !

>”cuckalov” Tell me how you really feel TA 😂

Thoroughly enjoyed the review. I don't really enjoy playing carriers but had lots of gxp lying around so I bought this ship (though I've only played one battle in it). Seeing lots of Chkalov's out there but have been having good success against them in US battleships. I keep my eyes on the mini map, turn my bow towards incoming bombers and work the throttle...making em miss a lot. For sure this ship is a menace in the hands of a skilled captain but I ain't been seeing many of those. Eventually Chkalov will be nerfed I'm sure but it may take longer than many think. Great video and GG👍

"World of Planes" 😂

Carriers have an interesting power dynamic while frustrating not game ruining. You can atleast defend yourself against the other carriers and if by chance they get spotted get blown up easily. However with the chkalov the ship completely ruins this dynamic. Never have I seen a carrier consistently dev strike atleast 1 ship in the first minute of the game. Any tier 6 cruisers or any destroyer is completely helpless if the chkalov decides to kill you. The bombs can be dropped right at the start of most ships AA range meaning they always have full squadrons and are capable of 15K+ damage drops with bombs or torpedos. The torpedos you can shoot down the planes or dodge the torps but oftentimes the bombs make the target completely helpless to the chkalov. If this carrier was put into a legendary match I think it would do more than fine. Also the typical easy to damage is also not a trait the chkalov has. The other day I was playing with the alabama and shot a chkalov in the corner of the map at 14-15 km and hit 6 of my nine shells on the top deck and all of them bounced. I understand this game will never be balanced but for the love of god 1 ship should not be able to make every other ship in its class completely obsolete. Ive been running a complete jean bart AA build just to atleast defend my self and teammates from all the carriers at tier 7 nowadays. (In that build i do 800 DPS to planes at 6.1km and 275 DPS at 6.7km) any longer and I wouldn't be able to spot the planes by myself. Also its great for farming clear skies and making a carrier unable to go anywhere near me.

A lesser state? My Brother in ship... They gave women equal rights, they were so advanced on that they were the most popular in the international women's conventions. Every country looked to them for inspiration on women equality, the US women's rights union in Chicago and women's activities is based on them. They went from an agrarian feudal society to a federal Republic that industrialized and that made the US government worried. From one of the poorest regions to a global powerhouse. And yes a federal Republic, even the CIA admitted they have a democracy one that is not conventional to Western understandings, because their democracy extended to the workplace and not just the political office. Like a cursory view in the Soviet archives would also show that more than half of the objectives Moscow were not accomplished because of the states (the republics) and autonomous regions decided differently. They made numerous advancements in mathematics, space, telecommunications. They raised the living standards in Eastern Europe so much so it forced western Europe to adopt a lot of similar policies less the people vote hard left. Literally the sole reason why western Europe had any public healthcare, housing, or education, or labor rights. I could just go on and on but the ussr was in no way a 'lesser' state to feudal Russia. An absurd statement. They were immensely influential around the world, in the US with its own labor movements and especially in the global south anti imperial movements. I could go on, like the diarys of Americans who moved and lived in the US, or that of Soviet citizens themselves, surveys, etc. like the idea that people wouldn't rebel against a unpopular government is just... It's just plain racist and a total disregard to people's agency. And if someone says ussr had problems too, know that it does not diminish their accomplishments. Rest assured, the US has done way worse both quantitatively and qualitatively, it's not even a competition. Upstart US? The US is older than the ussr, that sentence made no sense.

I’ve been wanting more ships for gxp but this is what WG puts there?!? WG is possibly the worst I’ve ever seen at balance. AL Chapayev was and is obviously busted but at least they aren’t everywhere. I’ve barely been playing this game because it just isn’t enjoyable atm. The addition of CVs in any capacity has made this a worse game but putting in a busted CV with the most frustrating CV mechanic is pure lunacy. AA is useless because they drop their bombs at the edge of AA range and they deal a metric f@$k ton of damage per drop have a high fire chance. I’ve played this game since beta and I’ve never had 4x fires on me at once until this weekend. I was finishing the Kansas grind and one single drop hit me with four fires and over 15k damage. This thing needs to be nerfed into oblivion. Can’t wait to talk ish to the weak players that defend their CVs when they should just be playing War Thunder or something.

JC ALL THE WAY LOL MY CLAN LOL

Great work as always. Looking forward to your take on the Chkalov

Loved the ark royal before it was nerfed all i played.. broken and op dont care 😂

Hermes was one of the first purpose built carriers in the world alongside Hosho. Ark Royal was similar to the Yorktowns in that she was the first large purpose built carrier.

Pls try the Edinburgh

Hilarious that this vessel has possibly the largest radar animation in game .. with no actual radar functionality

As always, great video! Absolutely always looks forward to your videos. I purchased a PS5-pro on release day and it makes World of warships legends, a lot sharper as it runs on native 4K. I will recommend it to anyone with money to spare and still have enough to pay all bills. If you have the possibility to try it TacticAngel, you should!

"Reliably unreliable" is such a funny oxymoron 😂😂

I think the hate on cv's is overblown, I would much rather go up against a cv then a dd in their current form at least i know the where cv ish and their planes aren't exactly stealthy can't one shot me for making 1 mkstake either.
