LOL that made me laugh.

[@littledoseTM]

Fun part is. The avg plebb will die in seconds every game so the spreadsheet says its a bad ship

[@ryanfreeman5083]

Its not really overpowered at all, its like an atlanta. with decent positioning and a decent player, you can do some funny stuff, but hardly meta.

[@azurblueknights]

@@ryanfreeman5083 Its also kind of like Harugumo too, minus having SAP. I mean, Gumo is fun, but low fire chance (especially with IFHE, which is almost required) means that even with all those shells you're chucking you're not getting very many fires. And even with IFHE and being able to penetrate 37mm of armor her low individual damage per shell means against heavy cruisers and battleships she's going to barely tickle them. 33% of max damage of her HE is only maybe 400 damage. SAP is what makes Austin bonkers.

[@DadeUnlimitedNinja]

just imagine, the gearing in his team would have done anything usefull for his team and would have smoked Flambas around the corner that he could have shot both montys and everything else there, guess Flamba would have scratched the 300k dmg mark there. Damn WG what you doing with your Game.....

Pushing in balls deep with a low armored low hp t10 CL that can be citadeled by anything from about every angle. Flambass: THIS. IS. SPARTA!!!!

[@Rotschwinge]

This ship is NOT low armored. It has 32mm armor, which makes it probably more tanky than a Hindenburg. And that's why people will have some nightmares against her.

[@VerrueckterKerl85]

that‘s part of the plan you cant test the ships. Ship released, you try it, you say (and maybe a few more CCs) it‘s OP -> everyone wants it and plays the game more often or buys it because it will be removed. simple psycholigical tricks. 🤷‍♂️

[@haewien]

and spend cash meanwhile. and shitgaming is happy

[@sentry4944]

That is literally the business model of most game devs that sell new models/characters in a PvP game. Release OP model/character, everyone buys it to be OP, it gets nerfed once they collect all the cash, rinse and repeat.

[@johnlach2199]

I was just thinking the same thing

[@avimin]

For the average player, this doesn’t seem OP..with that HP, the average player is probably going to open up without any cover and go BOOM in the first few mins of the game..if I am seeing this in a Shima (which is not OP for sure) all I gotta do is keep him spotted..no need to even bother firing torps at the guy

great video once again keep going man.. i want to ask which battleship line is easier fot a beginner to learn the game?

[@GummiAnd]

Austin is strong no doubt, but she is a glass cannon without smoke. In random games you have to play so carefully. She also doesn't have the high shell arcs that the other US cruisers have, so she can't camp medium to high islands either. Watch what happens when a BB with 18inch guns or bigger hits it.

[@haewien]

overpens. happened 9 times today, and 13 bounce. thunderer.

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

"Are you burning something?"..."yes, all of the ships"

[@moonshifter0]

Respect the Hindi. She is at least 5 nerfs ahead of you everytime.

[@rzu1474]

Just for reference. Austin has 6x2 127mm guns. With boost they fire every 1,7s for 15s. That's 15/1,7= 8,8 rounds per gun 12*8= 96 rounds in 15s *He* max damage is 1800 1800*96= 170,000 (11K per second) Sap damage =2,700 2700*96= 259,000 (17K per second) That can murder two full health DD's without anything they can do

[@HappyDuude]

'getting this ship right now' is pretty much wg new balance department.

[@amdhuntmc]

Man, every single streamer in the game has a different opinion of this ship, ranging from OP to actually balanced to complete garbage. Which is it lmao

[@MetalMachine131]

The range is from completely broken to obvious money grab. Everyone who says this ship is balanced doesnt know what they are talking about.

[@amdhuntmc]

[@Max-gf3yn]

@@MetalMachine131 This ship is not op... Its not easy to play and depends on the situation. When this ship is op, then what is thunderer??? It is way more easy to do dmg in a thunderer than in a Austin. 50% of the games you will do nothing with Austin in a game because you get devstriked or the enemys are running all the time. If you have no island you are dead...

[@ronyar7900]

Seriously Flambass, the daily uploads are much appreciated! 👍

[@jamesmcmanus1206]

[@arivael]

So at this point the only way to deal with an Austin is to get an RN BB, load the HE and stay beyond its gun range, so you need someone else to spot it for you.

[@firefightingguy9427]

Flambass what you smell burning is the Balanz going up in smoke

[@Kurgosh1]

Have they improved the loading times on World of Warships? Back when I was still playing, I'd regularly start games late because I had it installed on a traditional HD. Only moving it to an SSD let me start when the battle started. The Gearing may simply not have the SSD space.

Wargaming's new business model: Step 1: put a completely broken ship without further development unto the live server to "test" it Step 2: praise it as balanced by showing it's strengths and weaknesses in certain situations. Step 3: Look at the popularity charts. Step 4: If it's popular and sold well for an extended period of time, then remove it from the armory and silently nerf it. Step 5: Create a new ship and repeat the process. This is 6D chess by WG, clearly :0

It's very strong in the hands of a unicum. For everyone else - not so much.

[@pyalot]

„T10“ Austin is a T7 hull with T7 HP but less concealment, DPM and turrets, worse arks and rudder shift and no radar. Unlike its T7 counterpart, it will end up on maps without usable cover most of the time. 9 times out of 10, doing what you did this match, you get insta blapped or chunked for 80% of your HP. The MBR, fletcher torps and AA are its only redeeming gimmicks, which in the right cherry picked circumstances are ridiculously OP, but in 99% of matches dont mean shit.
