Colbert Convoy - As Close As It Gets

[@Flamuu]

Convoy just never matched up the dirigible derby game mode, too many poor design choices. One can hope WG learned from the things they did wrong. Twitter: twitter.com/flamuchz Discord: discord.gg/Flamu Stream: www.twitch.tv/flamuu Insta: instagram.com/flamugram/

sadly i have to unsub from you. you bave changed too much from your former informational videos. with your voice overs and in depth videos. these twith highlights just arent the same in depth as your former glory days were. you went from being the information of wows to being just another wows youtuber. and its sad. if you ever return to your forner video style, content and in depth information. ill glady resub. until then, good luck.

shooting someone while stationary need higher concentration than shooting while moving XD

[@patchouliknowledge4455]

Had my first "convoy moment" recently, where I just waltzed into the middle unopposed in my Groningen and killed both convoys without the enemy even trying to stop me...great design wg!

[@joelreis5366]

Jean Bart players like the one you were BBQing annoy me to no end. The ship is fast, maneuverable with insane reload and the reload booster to help. And still 99% of players just park bow on and snipe. I love shitting on them with Yamato and Musashi.

[@lerbronk]

8:40 I really love to see how the "attacker" gonna defend their convoys.

[@sdluke]

I got called "Abusive Musashi" in convoys the other day when 3 low health ships charged into me lol

[@sdluke]

@@derrickstorm6976 I was the Musashi, but I mean ppl were surprised I could overmatch and kill them easily?

[@namensklauer]

whats the winrate of the defending team? is there even any hope, if the CV decides to go for the convoy?

[@siriusczech]

I suprisingly won a little bit more of defending games than attacking ones, nor sure how. But defending side is pretty interesting, more than attacking one, to be honest

[@cirno9356]

it was t10 cv vs t8 cv on the enemy team

Double-rudder, no concealment, Top-Grade Gunner? i.e. Lighthouse Colbert!

[@TheOrdiNary1994]

what i see is rain shell to ship

[@rowinglove4ever]

What is the gimmick of this light cruiser? Got Marceau 13.8km gun firing distance, olmost same arcs, got 12im consielment? When Salem got 10.9km , it's cruiser so got exposed citadel so why this and no Marceau? With 21 Skil commander and fearless browler Marceau reload is 2.8 sec from 3.1! This thing don't have torps too! No smoke? Just really why?

[@mathyssiotiti4325]

the Colbert's gimmick is the insane DPM, it's one of the rare ships (if not the only one) that can exceed one million AP DPM, yes it's a very fragile ship but she only has one role, that is to farm and she does it very well (I apologize if my English is terrible, it's not my first language)

[@rowinglove4ever]

@@mathyssiotiti4325 thx for your answer! English is not my foreign language too, I can see that can fire with 6 turrets per side so 12 guns ,but also seen them instant delete them too! Don't know if worth it to spend the rb! Btw Marceau is my best ship and after that kleber! I love the french dds

He hates sniping and being passive. That's why he's valuable to his team. A game isn't won by hoping the enemy makes mistakes.

hahaha, look at those player base, 90% of their win rate between 40~50%, and half of their battle number are under 500，that's very interesting

[@florin5153]

This mode is so stupid. Yesterday I was on the defending side for the first time. I was using my Petro and I just sat nose in next to an island with a Shima spotting for me and kept shooting at the incoming ships. The enemy team stood no chance, I wasn't even below half HP when all the enemy ships on my flank were wiped out and I could just run at their convoy. Anyways, I love your videos Flamu, please keep ranting about weegee's inability to fix their game :D

[@siriusczech]

"defending side" refers to those defending the conwoy, though ;)

[@JoniWan77]

I respectfully disagree. Attackers might seem to be favored, but only intuitively. Defenders are forced to fight for space, which nobody is able to do anymore in the current state of the game. I had great fun with that mode, since it forces people to engage the enemy and thereby plays completely different. And it is utterly ridiculous to completely destroy attacking Tier 10 BBs in a Bismarck and FdG by simply pushing them out of the map, cause common sense told them to rather protect their own ships than kill the convoi or laugh at a complete flank seperating themselves from their convoi behind an island chain, while you just rush the convoi 3 minutes in. Good times.

[@siriusczech]

@@JoniWan77 thats why attackers had it easy. As a defender, you do not have time to get into positions and win fight over the enemy before convoy gets in sight. On other hands, this more favoured heavily stupid-dpm ships. Put a Colbert + Gearing onto one flank and he gets 380k as a defender and carry the game with 9 kills (happened). Or just play Sherman, sail into the middle of map and farm down anything in range with brutal speed and accuracy. All tactics go away, some shit you cannot defend against

[@JoniWan77]

@@siriusczech You just need to have balls, play aggressively and escort the convoi, you really do not have to survive that long to make way for your team and convois. But that's something the whole playerbase has collectively unlearned. To be fair, I was only playing in divisions, but it was pretty easy most of the time to defend the convoi with German low-tiered BBs just by pushing the attackers and screwing up their lines. Just because the same tactics of other gamemodes do not work in convois, does not mean there is no tactic you can use. It's at least a breath of fresh air. And even if defending is harder than attacking, so what? It's at least interesting and leads to much more tense situations. I honestly never had more fun with WoWs than in convois. The matchmaking was terrible, though.

[@siriusczech]

@@JoniWan77 I liked the mode, yes. But even in a division it was heavily teamdependent and shipdependent. Like getting a Kleber as a defender is nice, but actual spotting and torping Shima backed up by radar cruiser and a CV (not a dviv, btw) was all it took to brutalize a whole flank. And yes, I did push a ton with GK or Schlieffen, even in other ships like Ohio etc. The thing is - when on ZoneAlpha you have ONE route through the MIDDLE of the map for both conwoys, ways to fuck that up as an attacker are dozens - from submarine spotting through torpedosoup to radar camping and flame farming anything coming closer. Problems on multiple maps were teams literally splitting to sides leaving the middle with the actualy conwoy (with known track) unattender or in hand of one or two ships. When all 3 DDs disappear to sides and you stay at least in some vicinity of those ships, only to get suddenly farmed by those shits like Sherman etc. with everyone 7km+ and behind islands (Hotspot, Alpha), ... there is not much you can do tbh. Either all conwoy ships dies instantly due to lack of cover, or you die covering them and then you all lose nevertheless. Or a typical random stuff - 4 vs 4 DDs, only to find your 4 dead after 3 minutes after trading 1 (hopefully) in exchange. Ggwp. On EU server in my playing times (eveningg) there was serious lack of objective understanding in my teams many days, the longer the event lasted, the worse it did get in general. As a person who loves ranked and abandoned randoms almost completely due to "too much shit still changing", I like special modes like this. However, quality of teams varies a lot

[@vinzenzgeske8987]

Apart from the challenge I really don't get why people would play Colbert over Smolensk. Smolensk has more guns, flatter shell arcs (so killing DDs is way easier) and a smoke if things get bad or you *really* wanna bring the pain. It also not too shabby at open-water gunboating unless there's a Mino, an Elbing or other short-fused AP around. I absolutely love picking a friendly DD and supporting him in capping. The second the enemy DD is spotted, he will surely see the errors of his way. I also get that Smolensk is toxic as fuck which is why I only play it for certain missions (main battery hits with cruisers for example) or try to not use smokes if I can help it. I would love for WG to take away its smoke and find a way to balance it differently. Maybe get the concealement down to low 9 km values or give it better rudder shift. Speaking of balancing: Plymouth as attacker in convoy is fucking broken - especially in a platoon with a DD. Yesterday I had a game with Plymouth/Harugumo in a platoon and a CV (not in the same platoon). Game went about as well as one would think. I really don't get the whole smoke/radar combination. I shouldn't be suprised as WG sucks at balancing. But that shit is complete madness.

[@adomax373]

Flamu you're great player but your fitness knowledge might need some work...

[@Flamuu]

Elaborate?

[@briansmith8507]

Probably the squat comment. Low-bar squats are decently good at activating more glutes vs high bar or front squats and when progressed enough can build big glutes. But you’re right about hip thrusts, they are better at glute building than any squat.

[@combatmuffin3192]

@@Flamuu Your Squat comment was a little misleading. Squats can build glutes

[@adomax373]

@@Flamuu as some already said, the squat comment. Squats are good on building glutes, depends how you do them.

[@Flamuu]

@@adomax373 even a perfectly executed squat is going to target hamstrings and quads more than it activates glutes. For pure booty hip thrusts is far superior, I don't see the issue in the comment, considering the guy specifically mentioned booty, not legs overall.

convoy is such a garbage game-mode. the attackers have only advantages and the defenders only disadvantages. so basically classic weegee

This ship needs removing from game and cruisers reloads tweaking as rapid firing guns didn't exist in ww2

[@EvoraGT430]

[@bigandfluffy780]

I'm guessing you're talking about cruisers with destroyer grade weapons. Who also explode when even touched by shells larger than 234mm. Sounds like we have a skill issue here. Also, yes there were a lot of rapid firing guns in WW2

[@NRSGuardian]

Watch some footage of US 5"/38s firing against Japanese air attacks, they seem to fire pretty rapidly from what I've seen.
