Congratulations on 10k Sub 🎉

[@DerkaGames]

Thank you!!!

[@Selatomyr]

Please do an episode on LEONE. I love this ship, it’s like the GRISWALD FAMILY TRUCKSTER of DDs. She’s big, slow, with decent armaments and VERY fast reload, but also awkward and often underpowered compared to her counterparts. At her best, she’s a mine layer that surprises enemies with random, hard to detect torps. At her worst, a slow DD with decent guns (broadside exposure required) and only 4 torps per salvo (2x2)… that are painfully slow. If I could get her buffed, I’d request (3x2) torps. Three salvos of two to improve her performance.

[@andrewjohnson5365]

She's worth the global for historical reasons but I hope WG can give some of the older premiums and tech tree boats the dlc they deserve. Also as a side note will other nations ever get the commander rework the Germans had?

[@peterhoagg4348]

French commanders had a lot of changes buffs and nerfs but did not get the unique skills the Gernan commanders did.

[@EliasFalcon71]

Eugene is one of my favourite ships.I remember how well could perform vs tier VI/VII criusers and battleships(always ap shells). Unfortunately now on match making usually im at bottom tier and it's hard to deal vs VIIIs. Still she's the most beautiful cruiser ❤️

[@DerkaGames]

In the looks department, there isn't any better looking Ill agree! (Although I have a thing for Belfast as well)

[@dimplypaprika7693]

Good timing on this ship. I just got it recently out of a Santa crate. Haven't even built it out yet because I received quite a few new ships and this is not my favorite that i received so I am playing some others now. At some point though, I want to explore the PE and see what it is about. BTW, I just got the Grober Kurfurst recently, and I completely concur with what you said. I haven't had a good game in that ship yet. Now I have Ohio, so I am pretty sure my GK will just stay in my port and collect dust.

[@DerkaGames]

Muller would be good if you don't have Reigerwald, but he's stupid good for German cruisers

[@abeness88]

Derka. Love your top GXP ship list videos. Can’t wait for the 2024 one. I like to see that video a few times. The only gxp ships I don’t have is Roma, Paolo Emilio, prinz E. And elbing. Which would you choose out of those four? Loving the content.

[@DerkaGames]

Tough....Elbing is so much fun although very expensive and not much of a destroyer. But that would be my choice

[@Findus_]

I got her out of a Champions Crate. And at first I was very disappointed. I typically hate to play Cruisers bc I absolutely suck at it. But this thing has changed my mind. I started playing WOWSL in 2021 and this is the first Cruiser in the game I have fun in and get honestly pretty good games out of it. And it has to be one of the most beautiful ships in the entire game.

[@MrOEFVeteran]

One of the things i love about the PE is that i tend to be mostly ignored by the other team when i play her... And if hes not really viewed as a threat. Also,.my facorite cruiser for out flanking the kther team if i spawn kn the outside. As for buffs, the reload booster and 10km torps would be awesome

[@DerkaGames]

That's an interesting point! Straight up being ignored is Prinz Eugens specialty lol

[@MrOEFVeteran]

@@DerkaGames it has lead to some surprising outcomes in matches for sure. I kinda feel the same about z44, but that little boat, unlike PE, is useless no matter what. Im considering selling her like I did Kii to pay for all the upgrades for the other ships I got from Santa crates

[@benmiz9742]

I still find this ship competitive and holds it own well despite hipper being slightly better. I don’t know why but I always take the Prinz over hipper🤷‍♂️. It is probably due to her service history, good looks, and that historic camo 👌🏻 it just makes me like her far more than hipper despite the short comings. Ultimately I think she still works because the player base for the most part is pretty average, but totally agree the ability to run sonar and MBRB, while leaving all other stats as they are would be perfect.

[@DerkaGames]

She is gorgeous agreed 😍 have such a soft spot for her. Happy sailing!

[@TomTheSurgen1]

As a German brawling specialist, PE is my second most played behind Brandenburg. The plane for reload boaster Would be a fair swap and maybe strengthen that engine against being knocked all the time. If 8 play against her 8 just know to send two HE salvos, watch for the sparks and know she’s a sitting duck for the AP salvo. You missed an important difference over Hipper though, all CC seam to. She has 32mm citadel slopes versus Hippers 30mm. This makes a a massive difference when you push a BB, she shrugs off and or takes some pens versus Hipper getting citadelled. Plays some brawls back to back in each and you will see what I mean.

[@DerkaGames]

Thanks for sharing about the cit slopes, yeah I never noticed that

[@TNorberg]

I've wanted to spend my GXP on Eugen since forever. Would make me so happy if she got a buff.

[@3_D-nz4nl5xh7w]

Much like Atago, always on my list, but always go with something else lol. I'd like to see Kron next. Gg🍻

[@DerkaGames]

Noted!

[@UnionJackass94]

This is one of my favourite ships to play... my build emphasises on survivability and brawling.. I use AL Hipper and the two Italian Defence reduction commanders. And it's the most versatile gameplay I could want 😆

[@DerkaGames]

I ran AL Hipper forever on hipper and Mainz, excellent commander. Vice defense very strong

[@hamakaze1364]

Dude I thought atago was a little lackluster but holly hell when I played eugen the disappointment was unmeasureable that poor.. poor ship...

[@DerkaGames]

haha yeah, I still prefer Prinz over Atago, but just personally preference, still though it could use some love

[@hamakaze1364]

I still think atago has her usefulness. With the armored deck, she is a very solid flank defender if you know what you are doing when manipulating blows. With al atago, she still is a very capable ship. He doesn't put up high damage, but how hard she can be to kill. When past 10km, it can very hard to hit. Looks at my match earlier when THE ENTIRE blue team went to a and left me vs 5 ships.. fine... looks like im going to be a pain this game... 87k God knows potential Hey top leader board. Also... all my time playing her 1 kraken.. 1! That's over 300 games

If you had the authority to buff the Pommern, what would you improve?

[@paynepetro1530]

@@moonytheloony6516 I think most importantly I would improve the survivability of the torpedo mounts. Other than that the ship appears to be very tanky on the armor viewer, but it feels to me that it takes way more damage than it should. Besides that the ship performs fine

[@DerkaGames]

@@paynepetro1530 same for Bismarck, Tirpitz, FDG, and GK. These German BBs eat an immense amount of SS damage. It's for "balancing" I'm told. Pommern though, I suppose improving the accuracy would be where I would start. Not only is the ship a shotgun, but the gun firing angles are complete trash, and the gun caliber small. Nothing good about the guns at all (except volume of fire)

[@vulcnyrie]

I still love the Eugen though. The nice historical camo and the story behind her is enough to keep me playing the ship. To be honest, it was the only reason why I started playing WoWs:L.

[@DerkaGames]

Wow! And hey I agree, love the history. Even down to the bitter end, she survived an atomic bomb 😆 German engineering

Id like to see the minnesota: that ship is considered by many people as an horrible ship but thats not true if me. Yes U have horrible top speed, you are chunky, U dont have the best armor of this world, but its main guns with a full accuracy, grouping and dispwrsion built are really good. Otherwise Id really love to see the Duncan that is a monster (its only provlem is the armor)

[@DerkaGames]

👍

[@ussarizona2201]

This is also a problem in blitz. Eugen and Tirpitz are very old and in need of a buff. Tirpitz gets worse stats including AA than Bismarck, all to get an extra 5% on its secondary skill and for torpedoes that can only be used for a brawl sometimes. Eugen can buff its aa at the cost of 1 precise aim charge and worse stats. Blitz hasn’t been great at the moment and we’re trying to help with these ships and the game.

[@DerkaGames]

Interesting, have never played Blitz

[@cooperfage]

I obtained her from a create early on in this update and was wondering if it was worth it or not. Now I have my answer

[@DerkaGames]

She's gorgeous, has amazing history, and still holds her own despite being power crept. But yeah, hipper is better

[@DEATHRAGE157]

Next ship? Georgia AND Siegfried. They nerfed both ships to fit tier 7. Georgia lost its long range secondaries. Siegfried lost its accuracy and long range secondaries as well. Derka hear me out. Do you think that its a good idea to buff them back to what they are in PC, and bump them up to tier 8? Or nah?

[@DerkaGames]

Georgia is strong AF, can't imagine buffing her. Siegfried could use some love imo, as Constellation power crept her and Azuma's strong buff as well

[@thelaborpeasant]

Actually Prinz Eugen's bow armor is worse than Hipper. Hipper has that same 40mm lower belt plate but doesnt get that weird 20mm opening right at the tip like Eugen does. Also Eugen is a longer ship and generally bigger target because of that updated clipper bow she gets over Hipper. Makes Eugen look a lot better and sleeker but mechanics-wise is just a bit worse than Hipper's hull All in all shes really been overlooked and its sad because she deserves better as a premium ship. On a side note, I kinda wish the Megadeth ship had been an American radioactive version of Prinz Eugen 😂 now thatd be a great historical easter egg (Speaking of Easter Eggs, go check out the Easter Egg crests and name plates on Graf Spee's fore and aft turrets 😊)

[@DerkaGames]

Thanks for the correction. And dude that is a hilarious idea LOL. A fallout Eugen

[@177SCmaro]

I unlocked Bismarck while back and would like to get my hands on Prinz Eugen too as I prefer ships that actually existed but so far I've found Bismarck pretty unremarkable/one dimensional (Tirpitz even more so I couldn't even punish a Baltimore who I caught broadside 4 times last night at 12km or less, his AP was actually doing more damage than mine) and I'm concerned I'd be disappointed in Prinz too, especially given the high cost.

[@DerkaGames]

You may be, trial Hipper 1st...then imagine playing a slightly worse version 😆

[@MythicalWatcher]

As do I, Veneto sadly has a lot of external factors that it relies on. But with Roma's "temperamental" accuracy, making it's smoke detection at least slightly worse than Veneto. Around 11.5-12.5km would go a long way for it. I play it a lot and I just feel most of my games end up with me feeling like a slightly worse Iowa. I doubt it's ever gonna happen, but one can always hope for their favorite ship to get a buff. Considering I doubt we'll ever get Littorio/Italia
