Was hoping for the post death Double strike, must have been close :(

[@alexgonzalez6115]

First comment. Well, here we see a Zao doing what he does best, spreading fire between the enemies and wearing down his health pools. But that ending, ohhhhhh, I did not expect it, and that was a madness of close combat with torpedoes. Incredible end, although I've seen Hinderburgs and Minotaurs doing that before in this game.

That was a shitton of luck.

F3 are the type of the torpedos. Thats the 8 km torpedos.

[@torstenkersten8566]

i can't see where a spotter plane even was used. title is grossly misleading ...

[@ret7army]

nope, I was looking to see where he used them, and at the end he still had 4 uses left …

[@MrCJesslinger]

Good game, Meh entertainment

[@alfredconqueror4422]

Why should someone take Zao over Henri IV? It seems that Henri better at everything Zao is good at

[@therealGreencrack]

In real game I think Zao is better fire percent better then Henri.

[@jojodivas9211]

Alfred Conqueror everyone has their personal preference. For me I would take zao over the IV, stupid powerful 203mm 12 guns, fast ones, 12 km torps, and most of all, that can pretty much impact to help your own teammates on both early and late games. Henry has to farm damage in order to see the effectiveness that it does to the team rather late, but overall it is an ok ship. Then again it just depends on how the captains are good at playing the ships.

[@namele55777]

zao has a fuckton more torps, and 1 more turret too. different people has different preferences.

[@josemiec6512]

I only have Zao, but I can tell you that 12 203mm guns with 9.7km of concealment are a nasty combination and 12km torps 10 per side, and a very nice rudder is a powerful combination. So as a Zao you can play as a long range He spammer, a DD support cruiser or a cruiser hunter with the god tier concealment (the best of heavy cruisers). In exchange with Henry IV you are a damage dealer, mostly to BBs because you are a long range He spammer, although you can farm everything with your guns shooting at destroyers and cruisers at long ranges will be difficult, but you can exploit enemy mistakes (like parking broadside) by using your main battery reload booster. As you can see they are very different, you can compare Zao with his awesome guns and concealment with a ninja that can strike usually (the only thing that can out spot you are a few of light cruisers and DDs) when he wants, and Henry is that annoying cruiser that drain your hp fast, it's hard to hit and can punish you if you are in a bad position (using main battery reload booster). Edit: Henry IV max concealment is 12.7km and torp range is 9km and only have 3 torps per side
