F.D.Roosevelt DONE AND DONE - World of Warships

I finally managed to be done with this wretched ship, like Izumo and Roon it took me quite a while to fix its stats and my God was it a boring grind, but we finally got it.
Enjoy and have fun watching ;)

7 bombs hit on a battleship = 20k+ damage 8 bombs hit on a CV = 0 damage WarGaming is insane

@@maeror1022 more carriers were sunk by submarines than any other source. Midway colours our perception.

[@Bigbacon]

Its a game so reality doesnt mattee here. Still bad design

[@yann9915]

@@auzor5900 the japanese supercarrier that was never fully complete (still had a few boiler rooms incomplete amongst other things) had to be moved further inland to protect it from bombing runs that were getting close to its harbour. It couldnt move at full speed and a single (cannot recall nationality, maybe british?) submarine had spotted it and through sheer luck for the sub and incorrect decision making by the carrier's captain, the sub was able to sink it and pretty much end japan's super weapon before it ever came to bear fruit. I guess what im trying to say is that wows cannot be called a simulation of naval combat at all beyond the fact that it features some historic ships and tried to build their hulls as close to the originals as possible. Almost everything else is made up for the sake of it being a game, and i suppose there's no other way to have it unless they make the battles to last 2 hours on much bigger maps and with added objectives and gameplay depth :p

[@xinny4190]

and when the malta had perma flooding, it was hardly doing anything

[@auzor5900]

@@yann9915 Oh, I wasn't in favor of adding subs to the game. Or even the CV reeework. And submarine torpedoes go at ludicrous speeds (the tier 10 Balao torps go faster than Langley & The Russian T4 *plane* cruise speed). But historical facts matter, subs were very, very effective vs CV's, and transports. Despite the US having faulty torps, despite German subs being heavily hunted, and despite the Japanese mostly using their subs as fleet support. What WOWS totally misrepresents is how effective subs were during WW1 - WW2 vs active warships, destroyers especially. And subs diving after eating a few heavy shells. Etc... Or subs running away from destroyers underwater... destroyer should be quite capable of overtaking.

[@yann9915]

Fighters locking depth charges planes seems incredibly stupid xD

[@treeherder42]

It is, but it's very good for surface ships. Been using it a lot for spotting fighters. You see fighters dropped to spot and send asw planes, they fly further than the drop window so you can cancel fighters and remove the spotting. In rare cases you can use this offensively to help your cv chase a dd that's been given cover.

[@MuhammadFirdaus-wo6mz]

Yup this is a nice counterplay against fighter spotting and will bring back some power to surface ships. (Though I'm very sure WG will surely patch this ASAP lol)

[@alfredneumann4332]

10:44 that is a CV moment right there :D any other ship would have gotten 20k plus 2 fires. but thank god the CV's demacon lasts a full minute. otherwise the poor thing would suffer too much from all this damage.

[@eiresby2344]

That Pommern love this game so much

[@xinny4190]

Absolutely fun and engaging

[@Airtroops83]

So glad that you started including the stat changes in these videos! much better youtube experience

[@tomjackson4446]

I feel like people forget how broken this carrier is

[@LucarioNN]

I blame it on Eagle and United States

[@pedrolft9010]

Midway is better than FDR tho

[@redeclipse4ever409]

​@@pedrolft9010How? It is by far the worst Carrier for me. Slow planes, that you lose very fast.

[@YDKJ07]

I got nuked into oblivion by FDR in Massachusetts.

[@pedrolft9010]

@@redeclipse4ever409 It has faster planes than FDR, much more damage potential (as you dont need to wait 20 sec to strike again) and her planes still have more health than MVR and Haku (Haku is still better than midway because speed > Health). And midway can absolutely murder DDs, which FDR cant do in a consistent way. If you are losing too many planes, try managing the heal a bit more and avoid groups of ships.

[@Rakee007SL]

You do realise there is big fan base following you irrespective of age just to share a good laugh. You have this amazing ability to attract anyone who has slightest interest in gaming to watch your videos. Mr.Hans and your German assent is what brought my attention. "Papiran" i used to call my colleagues later on. 😂 I bought a gaming laptop just to play WOWS only to realize how good you are with what you do. I don't play much because i don't have time but you make it so easy reading the mini map, anticipation keep calm in tense situations. Thank you again for doing these scheduled uploads man. This means a lot. Keep up the good work. We are with you through the ups and downs of your life if you need us. 😊

[@TheShinySearcher]

Cant wait for the new dev blog where they decide if theyre gonna keep depth charge planes as patrol fighters but for subs. Wonder if theyll still have weird interactions with carrier fighters

[@treeherder42]

Fighters should all be like bearn fighters. Even ship ones, but they should last the duration instead of leaving after one engagement. Like a full fighter build on bearn means they last 2 minutes, can wipe any squadron they can see including t8 and have hp on par with FDR strike squads. Those fighters can be dropped on a CV and last long enough to wipe any planes sent out. They are actually useful for plane combat.

[@juankovacs6033]

I love how this carrier's planes don't give a damn f*ck about AA or even fighters.

[@aaronsmith5363]

Sorry to hear ragingcanadian is calling it quits........his last vid summed up wows perfectly!! thank you for posting this video

[@mwizard1464]

Ouch!! LOL! You're a trip Flambino... 🤪 Enjoyed and left the like.

[@otownfirefighter]

I wish the enemy team would stay spaced out like this when I play ANY carrier

[@lucianobertoncasanovas4342]

That 1 Malta drop

[@StefsEngineering]

Congrats on the fix! Now you can try arty in World of tanks ;)

[@baohoang4966]

Malta have the toughest deck out of all CVs ! Even her own AP bomb will just shatter !! That's one of the reason why she's so STONK, BB's salvos from far away if landed on her deck will just bounce away !! In contrast, her citadel were above water-line, so she's more vulnerable to enemy that caught her broadside !

[@rockyhudson]

Are plans immune during the attack phase?

[@Flambass]

Yup

[@maeror1022]

Yes they are, which makes AA completely and utterly useless.

[@hanskriegsmann9620]

Not really, but they shoot first the planes in the squadron that don’t attack, instead of the attacking ones, as one tends to do in a real fight. WG way of reality.

[@frankmartel3428]

Oh FlambCVMain is back xP

[@tjgraham3597]

Wow the piggy gods are now going after funny bones!?!?!!?!? LOL

[@rith2757]

Don't mean to be rude or offend you but I think it'd be better if you sent 2-3 sets of planes back before striking. that would leave you with 4-5 sets, which would allow you to get in 2-3 good strikes. You would save a decent amount of planes overall, which is a good habit to have. You were starting to run low on planes near the end and in a more intense game, that woulda maybe screwed you over. I feel you were just throwing your entire squadron out there cuz FDR lol. just a friendly suggestion ofc. good to see your gameplay regardless

[@custommotor]

I think he choose not to do that to maximize his damage output. Sending the planes back to base allows you to have more late game, but then you spend less time attacking the targets at the game start due to the flight time for each small group.

[@rith2757]

@@custommotor yeah but my point was either way he was only striking 2 or 3 times with each squadron. Sending 2-3 sets back would still allow that + more planes for late game.

So cv's are immune to bombing runs!?! So fair game 😂

[@maeror1022]

They have armoured decks that can bounce 483mm shells. The DCP is automatic and lasts 10 seconds. They auto detect nearby submarines and drop depth charges on them with perfect precision. Truly a balanced class.

[@clefsan]

I'm not sure that counts for all CVs vs all dive bombers, but yeah. Quite a few T10 CVs are pretty OP, but all the new ones WG pulled out of their ass are nuts. CVs at lower tiers are a bit better balanced (and can be bombed), but that isn't saying much.

[@omerfarukcetinkaya5943]

@@clefsan I dint care anymore mate I quit 2 years ago and now only watching how can they become more toxic... 😆

[@baohoang4966]

just Malta specifically because that ship's deck are as tough as the armor belt on BBs !! Other CVs would have get clapped !! That armored deck is one the reason why Malta is so strong !

I feel like FDR is not getting enough love lately. And its pain to use it sometime due to TX and TXI defensive AA can literally make your life miserable.

[@dantheman1744]

If only in history wargaming knew that carriers worst nightmare and really the only thing that sank them where dive bombers, but apparently the flight deck of carriers where thicker then the deck of a yamato class battleship. Yeah, im so glad I stopped playing this fantasy game.

[@eiresby2344]

Uy

[@clank1013]

I would rather the fighters attack the depth charge plane than to do nothing, it may even save an Allie submarine some time. But I believe they should go back to their patrol for a set time after, and not disappear like that

[@77arceus]

Cv armoured decks are so dumb

[@gwcrispi]

Eight bombs hit the flight deck. No penetration. WG sucks.
