Plymouth is pretty damn good - World of Warships

I'm definitely getting Plymouth as soon as I get some extra steel. I was postponing getting this ship because I didn't hear anything good about it, just like with Austin - which just tells you how much you can trust random rumors xD
I like both of these light cruisers and I'll be getting both for sure.
Enjoy and have fun watching ;)

Thanks for this vid, Flambass. I really like the look of the Edinburgh and Fiji, really beautiful ships, and seeing the Plymouth made me want her too.

[@sargisshirinyan207]

Everytime I regrind UK CLs I catch myself thinking what a beast Fiji is and somewhat Edinburgh as well (and then feel pain with Neptune until the redemption of Mino lol)

[@capthappy8884]

made 2 vids on her and am making a 3rd right now(248k, 7 kills). like you, i also have no idea why the general reaction has been so meh, but i kinda relish feeling like im in on an almost secret ship! ;) As long as the MM works for you(no CV) and you keep tabs on the location of enemy radar ships, she is god-tier! Tankier than the mino, more maneuverable(if a bit slower), and the ability to radar almost as soon as youre spotted, makes her the best DD hunter in the game if nothing else.

[@Mthammere2010]

"The general reaction has been so meh," is because the vocal minority are predominantly the DD mafia or Reddit trolls who want to keep the game in their stagnant pirate's of the caribbean state. Any player who plays the game knows Plymouth is competitive in a reasonable sense. DDs just can't dunk on it like they do everything else.

[@DuduDruidDotCom]

I wish there was a way for an average player to test these out. I have steel that I could use to buy this or Austin, but... I won't buy neither. I don't know if those ships will suit me and knowing that there are a few T10 premium DDs in the development, I won't risk buying a steel ship that I might not even enjoy, when there is a DD coming out that I will enjoy. (I am a DD main, I play mostly DDs, but I also play a lot of Cruisers, just not as much as DDs.) I already made a huge mistake buying Stalingrad, I didn't enjoy it, even though it looked like such a no brainer to buy. Yet it rusts away in my port and then FDR came out, which I really wanted, but had no steel for, since I spent it on Stalingrad...

@@reyhan5324 If that means it wins you the game or at least a flank then good job. (1 for 2 is good trade nonetheless especially for a low HP BB) It’s about thinking ahead of what we could achieve by using remaining HP and hope that our teammates cooperate or understand then follow through. Sometimes it’s worth going all in or sometimes it’s wise to just stay alive (if possible) for the team to win.

[@deaks25]

I just got the steel for Plymouth and it's exactly what it looks like: an Edinburgh on steroids. My Minotaur captain and same consumable load-out as Mino and it feels really familiar. It's ships like this where the player base doesn't help; a Steel/Prem ship that isn't overpowered and everyone says it's underwhelming. Which is why we will have to put up with the Austin cancer that will be the new Smole cancer.

[@lydethgullam7601]

Seems like a tier 10 of Neptune to be honest. With a radar.

[@Ushio01]

It's an Edinburgh with quad turrets as Edinburgh and Belfast were both originally planned to have quads instead of triples but they never worked. The Neptune was planned to have a semi-automatic turret like the Des moines and Worcester classes while the Minotaur and upcoming tier 8 Tiger class have fully automatic turrets. Small gun armed cruisers like the Atlanta/Flint, Smolensk, Colbert and Austin are still manual guns but because of the smaller shells can fire much faster (though fictional buffing for Colbert to allow it to be tier 10) while the Austin's mk18 guns have a dual feed system allowing it's burst fire capability in game were in reality it was a single gun turret which allowed a ROF of 40 rpm.

My latest theory is that Wargaming introduced the Deadeye atrocity intentionally, and fully aware of the consequences, as a distraction from their most important goal behind the captain skill rework - squeezing players for money. Currently, Deadeye is all everybody is talking about. The only thing everybody cares about is when this godawful camping meta will finally end. Meanwhile, the money squeeze is going largely unnoticed, no outrage, nobody is making that an issue. WG wins. Again.

@@j_ro _I_ haven't spent money in _two years._ But WG's strategy is geared toward extracting as much money as possible from less jaded new players while they are still prepared to open their wallets before eventually getting too frustrated and leaving the game or stopping to spend. That is the whole reason they keep dumbing down the game ever more. Here's a small measure of the ongoing spending: recruiters get a percentage of cash purchases made by their recruits, which is passed on to them in the form of doubloons. *In February alone,* Flamu recently claimed on his stream, he received *1.1 million doubloons* this way. And I wager people spend a good chunk of it on Free XP conversions or anything else they think helps speed up the levelling of captains.
