Girlfriend: You wana come round? Me: Sorry babe, Saturdays are for the Boise.

[@TruckingShooter]

15 minute mark ... "Hey notser here"

[@alexlucas9535]

"be liberal with the heal" a few moments later "once again note how conservative I'm being with the heal" lol

[@not2tired]

So the ship named after potato city has universally overmatched armor

[@miroa3950]

Kenny Tritch potato city? You must be very ignorant sob

[@petiertje]

Watched a bunch of vids from you, and I learned a lot. Also they are fun to watch in general. Thanks Flamu One more towards your 100K goal here :)

[@Mr_Secondaries]

I love my Boise, such a powerful ship for T7.

[@admiraljimmy]

Just had a 2000ish base exp game in my Boise last night lol. Stupid fun cruiser.

[@twte5647]

Pronounced "Boyzee" or "Boy-Z", it is a city in Idaho, which is the potato state in America (no joke)

[@foxfire6876]

On behalf of Idaho, thank you. More s and less z tho.

[@99-221]

My favorite part of this video is the grounding. Seeing your favorite CC who plays so perfect make a silly mistake like the rest of us just gives me more confidence as a player. Like "see, even the best sometimes make these mistakes." It makes playing at a higher level seem not so impossibly far out of reach.

[@ShakaNFSW]

I would like a guide for light cruisers, I can't make them work... low damage, killed too easy... I think I'm doing what you should do in a light cruiser, but i don't know if LC are hard or what is going on, or is it normal that?

[@TheGrandexeno]

Low DMG = bad map position or even aim (check your % accuracy in Profile), killed a lot =bad map awareness. Two easy tricks can help: stay around-behind bbs and/or learn to use islands to shoot with impunity on targets.

[@MrSafer]

If you wanna use the American accent. You pronounce the 'e' in Boise.

[@Seluecus1]

I love the Boise. it's an extremely powerful CL.

[@hinakomalin]

Boise, surprisingly one of the best ships I’ve had to set ships on fire and finish off most ships in range.

[@bodasactra]

Funny, I just got her and played her heavy while you were posting this video. Slower, shorter range, longer turn, weaker AA, and slower reload. While each one of these is just a fraction less than Helena it adds up to a significantly less powerful ship. I stupidly assumed it was the same ship. That said, after a hard start I did really well with her by carefully positioning and picking good 1v1 open water ambush. She is really good at that when your top tier. Definitively made for the more experienced player she has been mostly fun and I do well in her. A real challenge vs tier 9 and it happens often. Good work.

[@AbsoluteZero6714]

Yeah she’s got a heal which means she can recover HP unlike Helena but the slower speed and shorter range can be real handicaps. This is especially the case on large maps when up-tiered, where there’s not a lot of island cover and the high tier meta tends to be players taking pit shots with big guns at long range. Really frustrating because T7 used to have the best MM (so you saw smaller maps against T5s and 6s and usually at most, 8s) but now you’re uptiered far more often. Sucks because Helena is my most played ship, and I also loved the Atlanta back in the day when T7 was better.

[@AbsoluteZero6714]

USN cruisers, especially the CLs, are very map and team dependent. They tend to do well as support / area denial ships that have to get in close, preferably with island cover. If the team’s staying at range, or not covering your flanks, it’ll be extremely challenging.

[@estebansoto6456]

I love how he pronounces 9 de Julio so well

[@bullettube9863]

I kept hearing "boysa" and wondered what ship is he using, because the title says "Boi see". hahah, another European thrown off by an American city with a French name for "wooded area"! Aside from that, it's still an interesting ship and way overdue in WOWS. The Brooklyn class were great ships and did exactly what they were designed for in WW2, fight destroyers and other light cruisers and escort carriers. With 5in (127mm) of armor protecting the engine spaces, and a 2in (50mm) deck they were well protected for their displacement. Their speed of 32.5knots and long range made them very effective ships, and all served with distinction. You don't fight BBs with cruisers, except in WOWS! Of course WOWS never lets the fact that other navies never built as many good ships as America did, so they have to use paper designs and flights of imagination to fill out the roster.

[@SafariPilot]

Always enjoyed this cruiser.

[@Bohdisattva326]

Thank u from all of us from legends

[@trkarst82]

Boy-zeeeeeee. Long "e", not short "e".

[@BIGmlems]

you will beat an atlanta in a knife fight again and again because it has that zombie heal

[@Flamuu]

Provided he doesn't torp you to shit. You will beat him as long as you don't allow him to land any, hence why engaging in a knife fight with one is needlessly risky.

[@BIGmlems]

@@Flamuu thats a big if when you've got a 5.5km nope circle to work with :P

[@eriktrimble8784]

Unless the two ships are sailing broadside to each other, an Atlanta will nuke a Boise in a knife fight, even without the Atlanta's torps. As you go nose-in to each to close the distance, Atlanta has almost 2x the DPM: (6x6" @ 6rpm vs 6x5" @ 12rpm, or 79k vs 129k damage). Even if you angle a bit to get the C turret in play (on the Boise), you're looking at 118k vs 129k (and if the Atlanta angles enough to get the side turret in play, you're even worse off - it does 172k). Presuming all hit, and do pen damage, the numbers are 26k vs 43k for bow-to-bow, or 40k vs 57k slightly angled, with Atlanta holding a 50% edge. The Zombie heal isn't enough to compensate for the VERY significant advantage the Atlanta has in firepower, unless you're talking about full broadsides. And if you're giving enough broadside in the Boise to use all 15 guns, well, you're giving enough broadside for the Atlanta to use AP on you. In that scenario - the Boise broadside, an Atlanta nose-in - you're got a 198k HE DPM vs a 151k AP DPM. But that overstates the Boise damage, as you're rarely going to be scoring more than 12 out of 15 on that narrow of a target. Whereas the Atlanta will usually get 12 out of 12, PLUS it will get citadels. In a knife fight, you're gonna get exactly 1 heal. In reality, that's less than 12k you get back. The raw DPM advantage of the Atlanta will overwhelm that pretty fast, particularly if you're not healthy to start with. Knife fighting an Atlanta is a REAL risk, and unless you start with a large HP advantage, the Boise isn't gonna win. Particularly if it's a surprise engagement, where the Atlanta's turret rotation will absolutely blow the Boise out of the water.

[@BIGmlems]

@@eriktrimble8784 certainly, however thats under the assuption you can consistantly land your shots on the boise with an atlanta thats kind of why it has the dpm its has at that tier, whereas the boise doesn't struggle nearly as much with consistanly landing salvos. In this case the boise wins as he only need to land 5-6 of his salvos which can be easy to do between reloads and consistantly using that bs heal

[@BIGmlems]

atlanta also has a health disadvantage of approximately 5800 which is a salvos difference, that can mean life or death right there

[@beardedbehr4105]

"Boy-see"... there's no "z" in Boise. Haha, just a little friendly ribbing from a local. Great vid! 👍

[@harghhh]

I love the boise, it's one of my fav ships

[@kurakensama]

I love the Boise and the 9 de Julio. I learn to "cruiser" in the 9! If only would be a little faster and have a little more range... and a couple of torps would be useful.

[@sgoldsworth31]

I got a nueve de Julio last year from a Christmas container. It's the ship I've played the most. I'm learning finer points of auto bounce so I don't have so many richochets.

[@ainzooalgown7589]

wish it has at least 1-2km more range since 13.6km is horrible

[@tankfist2593]

I hate to be that guy but Boise is pronounced "boy-z". :) Thanks for all the ship vids. They are very helpful for someone like me who is coming back to the game after a 2 year break.

[@mattsimnitt1420]

lol no its not. It's pronounced "Boy-C"

[@mattsimnitt1420]

and besides the one that SHOULD stick out is how he says "Helena." Its HEL-uh-nuh, not hel-AY-nuh

[@tankfist2593]

@@mattsimnitt1420 While you are technically correct, when I say Boy-C and Boy-Z is sounds exactly the same... lol

ACK! THAT PRONUNCIATION OF BOISE. IT HURTS. BOW-I-ZEE. NEIN, IT’S BOY-ZEE!

[@MrDgwphotos]

And Helena... Ouch, my ears.

[@trlacr1781]

This matchmaking is something i'm noticing a lot lately. T7 is like T6 nowadays it seems, always super uptiered.

[@nicazer]

oh man, i remember one time when i torped a Boise for 23000 (ijn) but he had apparently just used dc and the flood finished him off...

[@basileus9343]

Holy shit it has 1552 mm guns? Insane lmao

[@reldoc]

Boise has a ē at the end. Helena is Hel’ ena. Accent on the first syllable.

[@chriswillett9962]

I love my Boise. It eats Atlantas like they were cookies and you live on Sesame Street and are blue.

[@michaelreid5307]

Anyone else automatically think of the used car salesman from Only Fools and Horses?

[@skyguy7567]

4:00 you can play ballzy in a boise

[@violet9214]

Well, about to torpedo protection. No American cruiser has a torpedo protection worth mentioning, and aside from Atlanta, no post Omaha US cruiser has torpedoes, so that's pretty standard.

[@mikebrase5161]

Hey Flamu, it's Boy-Zee. Greetings from Idaho :)

[@Viper-dn8ix]

I'd rather be in a Boise than an Atlanta with that MM though...

[@taiefmiah]

How is this compared to the nuevo de Julio?

[@suryia6706]

Pretty sure they are identical in game. The Nueve de Julio was the name of the Boise after it was sold to Argentina. The Nueve history was not proud and WG was criticized for putting it in game at the time.

[@okanui]

can someone please explain how you turn on and off the def AA please?

[@nokokusovai4415]

P

[@CedroLinkin]

Is there any case you would prefer this to an Atlanta?

[@CedroLinkin]

@Aggravated Assault Mech I never felt in need of buying a premium just for training a CL captain, plus you could argue that at least 14 points are common, so you could use Atlanta just as well. In any case, if you need to train a cap you're better off farming elite xp in a ship you actually like, rather than buying a premium for it

[@CedroLinkin]

@Aggravated Assault Mech but you're gonna get aft only after concealment and ifhe

[@CedroLinkin]

@Aggravated Assault Mech dude, if you need to train a lvl 19 captain, you aren't gonna play t7

[@CedroLinkin]

@Aggravated Assault Mech none of the above, you're better off playing on fully pimped ship you're comfortable playing. You can make 40k+ elite exp on t9 premiums with a 19 captain easily

[@nikanotsane]

Yay a vid

[@gabriellansangan8798]

Boise and Nueve de Julio are the same ship.

[@sedevri864]

the Boise is such a Hit/Miss ship, you either do amazing in it or you are the first ship dead with -10000 dmg. I do enjoy playing it though.

[@junkiexl86]

That's pretty much all CL's though. Fun in their moments, but too inconsistent overall.
