A World of Warships Rant Review: Wisconsin

I rant and sometimes calmly discuss the USS Wisconsin dockyard ship which is very strong unless you don't know how to aim, and combines my two favourite things about battleships which are consistent accuracy and HE spam resistance with a side of screw your planes.
Captain build is standard tank but dropping a 3 pt basics of survivability/improved repair skill for the 2pt AA skill and the 1pt emergency repair skill

You gotta love the player on your team who called you bad, actually apologizing and admitting they were clearly wrong at the end of the game. Very rare to see that nowadays.

[@matthewyang7893]

When I first saw this thing, the accuracy alone was a selling factor. I’m very hyped to get this overtuned broken package that literally doesn’t have a citadel.

[@faynk.6247]

I actually like that the CC called her mediocre. Because everytime CC called someships busted or OP, WG nerfed it to shit. Let’s called Whiskey mediocre from now on, so WG don’t touch my ship

[@user-mh1mf5gj2g]

i've been playing this game since 2015 and own most of the classic op/very good ships (alaska, georgia, jean bart, lenin, musashi, benham, kamikaze, thunderer, smolensk etc). wisconsin is easily one of the most op ships wg has ever released, up there with something like smolensk and kamikaze (whos opness mainly comes from being tier 5). its disgustingly op, im not sure how it went under the radar. great review though

[@Spillrag]

Please do more reviews, was honestly refreshing. Separately, I think uptiered boats should get a bonus to HP/damage/other attributes to help them cope with the imbalance of the situation

[@hagostaeldmann]

appreciate it and totally agree...IDK what the solution is but the fact 99% of cruisers at tier 9 cannot bounce 406s but fight tier tens like 80% of their games is wild.

[@Neneset]

Some of what you said about Wisconsin at the end matches what I've said about Musashi for years. I hear so much "Musashi is OP because it faces Tier VIIs" when Musashi's shells don't overmatch Tier VIIs any harder than every other Tier IX BB except Marlborough also do. No, what Musashi does is force those Tier VIIs to face Tier X armor and health. Musashi's 410mm belt laughs at Tier VII BB shells until they are suicidally close. Her deck? Tier VII cruisers can't hope to HE pen it. Her torpedo belt? Have fun Tier VII DDs... The other thing Musashi, which is really a Tier 9.9 BB, does is, barring the opposing team also having a Musashi, makes the MM place a Tier IX BB opposite what is essentially a Tier X BB.

[@Lupus_Indomitus]

True. Only difference between musashi and yama is that musashi has some different sec setup, and has basically no aa to speak of.

[@zekaiy.873]

A promising channel,keep it up bro

[@Gum0nURsho3]

Spitting facts man, well done. CCs always harp on about battleship inconsistency and state it's for balance purposes. Then WG throw this bad boy down and the CCs say it's mediocre - blows my mind, I WISH I had this boat.

[@R4ZORLIGHT]

Thank god i comitted to the grind for the Wisconsin. Insane ship, great video! and for Wargaming: Wisconsin is just an average boat, just leave it alon.

[@wastelander89]

I like your videos. I think there decent. I'd be happy if all the American bbs were that accurate lol the salvos your getting are great. Plus Montana has a 23 second rudder. Wisconsin looks way more enjoyable to play

[@solidtoto]

Same, i don't get how "certain CCs" said it was a mediocre ship, it's clearly busted af.

[@alphax4785]

The reason is he's completely burnt out and needs to take a break. As for the Wisky players I see in game, they always try to play it like a Beerandcheesecurdgogne rather than a San Cowtine and honestly most do mediocre at best. So good for unicums there are gonna be plenty of potato players who will prevent the ship from being nerfed.

[@hagostaeldmann]

I've seen 4 CC reviews where the views ranged from "mediocre" to, at best "decently strong." In ranked maybe it's not a top pick but in randoms it's minimum an A tier BB.

[@HarunaKaiNi]

it's strong imo

[@tba2821]

@@hagostaeldmann Yeah, in ranked the improved accuracy doesn't make up for the small caliber and small shell volume (same with Slava TBH) but in randoms it gets an S for fun.

[@Lupus_Indomitus]

Reason he said it, and he explained it in some later vids, at least if your talking about PQ, that he was first up just burnt out from the game, and that he got absolutly atrocious rng in his first impressions vids. By now he absolutly loves her.

[@EA-History]

Very informative and interesting video.

[@kelestra1]

A bit late to get your review. May I ask for the build you use? Mods&Upgrades: coal dcpm1, dcsm1, aprm1, dcsm2, csm1 & aprm2? Cpt build: GF&ERS, GTG&AAD and ASW Expert, AR, CE and what? BTW: my thumbsup gave you the 69. That rewards an answer, right? Right? ;-)

[@matthewyang7893]

I’d love to get 32mm midsection for cruisers like Des Moines, Gouden, Agir, etc that are larger and tend to be more positionally played in comparison to the lighter cruisers. Soviet cruisers already get this armor that allows them to play positionally. Also, the most demented citadel I’ve ever gotten with Wisconsin is a killing shot on a GK, while he was angling away at 21km, 50-55 degrees. I audibly thought that shit was never supposed to happen…no commiserations from the in game chat when nobody else knew what happened either

[@hagostaeldmann]

I'm not opposed to Des Moine never getting more armor as the DPM is dementedly overpowered, even tacitly admitted to by wargaming since they've basically never made a cruiser line with even half the effective DPM of Des Moines. But completely agree all "large cuisers" that take 60s fires should have 32 mid and icebreakers.

[@matthewyang7893]

@@hagostaeldmann One very important thing about DM these days is that the range effectiveness and passive play makes using all of your dpm cancer, which is why personally i dont play my dm anymore because it's so easy for people to focus you alongside carrier/sub pressure. Battleships alongside dumb overmatch just sit in spawn 18-20km away so you can never even shoot them

[@Telashar]

Just finished grinding it, 1st game (im really mediocre player) straight for nearly 200k dmg, kept citadeling ships across the map at 22km or slightly less. Accuracy is pretty amazing, its tanky as long you dont show your side (which is honestly good thing, ships should have clear weaknesses), and gimmick is busted. And something I didnt hear anyone mention, this thing is fast, like holy shit, as long you are not spotted its doing 37.5kts, thats pretty damn bonkers. I have no damn idea how this thing is "mediocre", dunno if I would call it op, with subs, cvs and superships on every corner, but its most definitely a really good (and fun) ship.

[@lukestables708]

You're totally right. Playing as a cruiser is just a fucking nightmare and usually an unpleasant experience (similar for dds because of plane spotting) but can be fun very occasionally if you actually get the right conditions. I've had exact same experience where you play a cruiser and like 1 mn in you're plane spotted and getting shot at and you have to literally ask yourself well wtf could I reasonably have done to avoid this and the only reasonable answer is there's nothing I could have done, the game is just badly designed in many ways.

[@velierer903]

USNplayerbase will always suffer with a dockyard Slava that has actual survivability, reload booster, and Halsey because why not

[@hagostaeldmann]

Wisconsin is truly an unsurvivable ship (highest survive rate of any battleship I own)

[@Lupus_Indomitus]

Same for me. By far my highest average dmg ship.​@@hagostaeldmann

[@KamiKaze1978]

I believe toptier used this video. Congrats to you, sir, for the record at the moment. I've also seen a lot of hate to it. But I've also heard this is the 2nd most accurate bb in the game after Slava.

[@josephbubash1662]

The Wisconsin reminds me of when Jean Bart was first released. Insane firepower for its tier combined with good speed and concealment. Back then most cruisers didn't have 27mm casemate plating so you still overmatched a lot. The boat would just vomit out high speed shells that could clap people at any range. The all foreward guns + speed boost let you abuse islands and angle tank ships that lacked effective HE dpm. Whenever you were top tier you could just run over anyone who wasn't a musashi or us/german heavy cruiser.

[@carbonara_lover]

you are 100% right wisconsin is really really good ship really good

[@gorkarullan]

I thank you very much for your video. Finally someone with judgment.

[@hagostaeldmann]

thanks, I don't know what people are smoking where they rate Wisconsin, Lauria, Incomp etc as decent or okay ships.

[@AlanRoehrich9651]

Nice review. Might be worth the missions.

[@zoutsider88]

nice game bro. that was sick.

[@tyray3p]

I think it's very telling that you fired... what, 4-5 salvos and did more than your own hit points worth of damage. And people call this ship "mediocre" lol

[@thatinternetguyj5222]

Yeah, A lot of what you're saying about this ship is that it is great without the funny button, but the button makes it insane. Honestly I agree with this take. As a Bourgogne enjoyer, anything with a reload booster is pretty insane, but this button doubles as an improved consumable colldown button too. Also Bourgogne's reload booster is 20 seconds btw

[@hagostaeldmann]

okay thanks, I know all the other french ships have 15s booster, couldn't remember if Bourgogne's was better

[@thatinternetguyj5222]

@@hagostaeldmann Its better because french bias loooool (and Jean Bart lmaoooo)

[@ricardophdddsmd]

I'm so glad that I decided not to grind past T7 so I don't have to play against this monstrosity (and other more).

[@IO__]

keep the mic it adds some kind of flair plus its pretty clear, plus I think it has better aa than the worcester also I agree that some of the shots u took at the ca at the beginning I would have definitely get all overpens in a monty, also that was such a great gameplay 5 mins into the match and u're already at 100k dmg

[@IO__]

also great review btw

[@piervisser3121]

I wish my Whiskey had similar dispersion, but she never does

[@SweaggerRexxar]

how the frick can u even see what r u aiming at with this disgusting Crosshair... holy moly. xD Also... compared to other T10 Ships... the Whiscy is still just an improved Iowa.

[@hagostaeldmann]

it makes it really easy to lead angled targets especially with spotter plane up

[@no1caers]

its actually pretty easy, just like regular horizontal measure, but you compare the direction enemy is going with on of the lines

[@10kchallengewith0video]

rant?
