You need to make a video solely about lemming trains and why they are bad, so when it happens in game we can direct those people to your channel and video

[@Korovkin_Pavel]

Poor tallin, once i fired at broadside of a turning roon at 15km in my Montana, got 1cit 20k damage. And suddenly devstrike 3cits firstblood. I thought WTF i clearly see the roon running away. Check the teamslist, poor mogami was sunk blindly, and it was 2minutes in game, she never ever been spotted once.

[@machaiping]

@@miked815 Lemming train actually has another name; the concentration of force and defeat in details, which Napoleon used to devastating effect against larger or parity enemy armies back during his heyday. But of course, the average random players are not Napoleon, and hence their execution of this plan was nowhere near what he achieved, lacking a lot of critical keys that made his plan a success, and turned into the Lemming train we all know today.

[@cobrazax]

there is a limit of how much u can carry such a horrid team...

[@xccghvbno1063]

What are you going to do with the dimond you clenched into existence from that game?

[@niemofang7685]

flamu spent all of his dispersion RNG on that one blind shot

[@domi_1855]

And still misst the ship Flolo was aiming for flamuRNG

[@Sky_Guy]

I don't understand, his shot at 13:32 went exactly where he aimed. He led too far and too high for a ship turning in, and the few shells that didn't fly over the Monarch bounced off her turrets.

[@Poseidenfan]

NC is one of my favorite BBs. We need more ships that reward good play and punish bad play in the game imo

[@yikyak4249]

The slow American line. If you're in deep shit you can't get out.

[@KGAnims]

@ANUBHAV SHARMA German BBs punish bad play and punish good play, because they are pretty meh.

[@ragedtank6177]

But wargaming cant only add difficult ships, their potato farm will leave

[@RowanHD15]

CVs? oh wait.

[@keithconrad9033]

@ANUBHAV SHARMA yea in a game with people having no understanding of the game mechanics, even after 20k games, playing a ship is proof that you know what you are talking about. In fact german bbs dont really punish bad plays becasue they cant really be citadel and even if they dont show broadside you eat massiv damage because of the gigantic superstructure so they dont reward good plays either and because of the low accuracy they reward bad aiming becasue even if your shoots are badly aimed some of them can still hit and if you did aim good most of the time the rng trolls you.

[@sleepygryph]

Better get on that donor list, this was a real heart breaker.

[@ObristPlayep]

Lol I remember Spamu was so heartbroken after the game that he decided not to touch the NC again for a while

[@serve_xt4298]

True, i remember that, to this day i think he didn't touch the NC yet. This match left a trauma in flamu, poor carry guy

[@theheavytonk928]

His team could have just made that Tirpitz and probably Amagi (though Amagi has poor armor) just push. Tirpitz can stand all the punishment and torp the enemy team but what happened, they just potatoed.

My heart goes out to Flamu. What a tearjerker of a story. I’m going to cry myself into sleep now. Cheerio

[@Macaroni139]

15:27: the kill of the year. Hats off to you sir, as you had an amazing game in an amazing ship, despite the game ending in a heartbreaker

[@arbCannons3395]

Man flamu i gotta hand it to your dedication to this game. I honestly cannot believe youre still playing it.

[@Steven-xx6bo]

NC will still be my favorite ship. First VIII as well.

[@FlukeyLuke]

i still call it the baby yamato, cause when top tier, she feels so good, she may as well be a baby yamato

[@makoreizei5064]

Had to watch this three times to verify what I've just seen. Holy hell, this was an amazing game and had been on the edge of my seat the whole time.

[@core5450]

Unbelievable game!! Very good commentary, it really shows how good you are at this game, taking into account all those factors and playing so much better than your team. Hats off Flamu!

[@GBisme]

Thanks for this! I've never been sure on what actions I should take when you watch the majority of your team try to preserve their HP behind a single cap at the cost of overall control, especially when sailing a squishy ship.

[@klauba]

"I'd rather have defeat but a close game than a steamroll". I so much second this statement.

[@martinlaflamme5831]

Wow! This is a hell of a game! Almost like hockey play off!

[@KaguyasBeat]

My first game with NC, First salvo I brought a Tallinn down to around 1k. Second salvo I outright destroyed an Agir's rear turret. Dead start of the game. I went in knowing that she's a really nice ship. She made me really happy on our first go.

[@_MaDjAcKaL_]

The dipression in your voice like telling a sad story with a miserable end is fucking priceless!!!

[@lukef6553]

There are always a time where one will play with a team full of 'strategically-noobish' players, who doesn't seem to realize the goal of the game is to get more points by winning the caps. They would either camp most of the time safely behind islands far from the cap, or group chase one fleeing enemy ship on the flank and strangely ignore capturing the cap.

[@j.maxstallsmith3114]

Thanks for doing a vid on the NC because I'm having some difficulty with using that particular Battle Ship. It's GREATLY Appreciated!!!!!! MANY THANKS!!!!!

[@coralski9373]

You made me love this ship, and I thank you for that. I have gotten better at positioning, map awareness and playing the game in general. Unfortunately because of the teams lately, I feel a bit like I can't do much. Finding myself in 1v7s is not uncommon.

[@montagistkacke7431]

16:12 oh, how many times I thought that. And then my ship went boom.

[@LangeLijs]

I recently had a match like this, but on the winning side, turning the table from guaranteed loss to really close win. That are the games you play WoWs for and keep me playing. Enjoyed your vid, keep up the great work!

[@leftcoaster67]

Thanks Flamu. Because there's 3 ships I have ZERO luck in North Carolina, Edinburgh, and Baltimore. After watching you hopefully I can improve.

[@Razziazor]

NC is the only ship I explicitly kept after researching the next tier. I love how it's so very nose tanky, accurate guns, stealthy and doesn't maneuver too bad.

[@firecracker739]

I feel you man. What’s more frustrating is when you left alone on that flank and those potatoes accusing you of play poorly because you hold the flank alone.

[@pathartary2644]

Wow! That team did not deserve you. Some great blind shots and ammo switching. You played the N.C. to perfection. Nicely done!

[@StillReload]

15km fast and agile cruiser sniped NC : here your juicy citadel hit perfectly broadside, huge, sluggish battleship with huge citadel, 10km away NC : the best i can do is 1 bounce, take it or leave it

[@Minuz1]

If all my battles were like this Id never stop playing

[@tharding2870]

[@kagakai7729]

Flamu's mast looks like any remotely clothesline-resembling entity outside an asian grandma's apartment *_f l a g g_*

[@therandomchannel02]

this was the most suspenseful game ever!

[@michaelbeasley9401]

That's why carriers shouldn't be able to sit behind an island and be stationary. They need some sort of positioning requirement. It would be fairly simple to add a wind direction indicator that they have to sail into at like 1/2 speed, or if they don't they launch aircraft via catapults which is significantly slower; say it takes twice as long to get the full squadron into the air via catapult launch. As a result that CV probably wouldn't have been sitting there for the last 5 minutes of the game, and would've been vulnerable to shell fire, unless he was very aware of the situation (not likely).

[@KarlBarbosa]

Carrier on the enemy team: "How the hell is everyone dying after all those points?? Oh god, I'm being shot at! My health! I'm almost dead and ... wait, I won? Solo Warrior?? Awesome! I wonder who that CC was?"

[@jarrusjenkins]

Seriously... I really do feel bad for you, looking at the positioning from your team was getting me angry because I see it far too often, sure I aint no unicum but I always try my best and play for the team to get the win. The player base is just far too selfish these days.

[@Dorkrust]

Yeah its a tough watch, reminds me of 50% of the games i get into. That Petro_11 NC was a prime example of the majority of BB players, the Mass/Tirpitz are examples of most of the rest lol.

[@Zelectrocutica]

No offensive but ppl are gone full retarded these day that why i leave this game because it can cause a brain cancer.

[@ringowunderlich2241]

Though you have to wonder, what could be more selfish, than winning the match?

[@restarting_krnl]

@@Zelectrocutica Yeah same here, I see campers, kamikaze, more and more and more often these days

what a game Flamu.....thanks for sharing! :)

[@Scarheart76]

That was a tough one to lose. So very close!

[@Crowe_77]

man what a game! dude, u are a sharpshooter

[@damiandorhoff719]

We all knew Games like this. When the Battleships on your Team sacrifice Map Control/Support for Cruisers and Destroyers for the safety of a Lemmingtrain. When I am in a Battleship holding a Flank and I see all the other Battleships coming to my Cap as well I will push forward. Even when the I am in a low Tier BB and the Enemy having a Destroyer Advantege. I am Hoping the other BBs would follow me so we that we can get the Cap and then do a Counterpush to the Middle. Usually the other Battleships will take Position behind an Island instead and watch me overextend before getting Flanked and loosing all Destroyer/Cruiser Support

[@samuelwong4152]

I love NC, full firing range upgrade with 27km, this ship is amazing. Its a tier 8 "conqueror"..... truly the BEST tier 8

[@nicholasrusson8978]

Thanks for posting this. I only recently started playing the North Carolina, so I appreciated the advice on how to get the most out of the ship. She's _so_ different from the earlier US battleships. Perhaps I've been lucky, but I've only encountered blowout matches at tier VIII recently (in my last one, I only scored 39k damage in my NC, no kills, no caps ... and came first on the team). Tier VI and VII blowouts have not been as comon in my experience.

[@cyberwaste]

Often when dropping torpedoes, you'll try to make a ship shift their rudder entirely one way then drop in a way that would require them to shift it all the way to the other side. That's probably what the Kaga was doing. I recently got the Alabama, and it seems pretty similar to the NC. It's taking some getting used to since I much prefer the German and Russian battleships. That team is pretty common. Everyone waiting for someone else to draw all fire and get the enemies out of cover so they can take their free shots.

[@sarbbajitsamadder-sd9kt]

I face this types of capping incidents a lot.... After trying to fight a cap by myself and abandoned by my teammates in every other match, i have started to commit only when my team commits to that cap, else if everyone is leaving and going to other caps, i leave too, else i refuse to even go and get sunk by myself quite often 😢 It's literally frustrating!

[@ianc.2012]

Here we have a fine specimen of quality content. Cheers.

[@ya7ioo]

NC broadside is really squishy, I have citadel'd it twice with 180mm Tallinn AP shells.

[@michalhybes9793]

Man, this is one of the most attractive game of all times on your channel but it's such a shame that it was such a heartbreaker

[@glennv3176]

I feel like everyone playing this game has brain damage or there's some kind of human psyche thing I don't understand. Hey guys, we just spawned, lets all sail to A8 for 6 minutes while the enemy takes all the caps.

[@migeary]

Indeed it seems like complete lack of comprehension of the games rules, points and caps, on the part of certain players. It is understandable in lower tiers, but you get to see it in higher ones too. Unless the higher tier ships were never grinded.

[@estoyaqui5386]

Beast, you are a Flamu. Well played!

[@christianjohnson9190]

[@hardworkingslacker7233]

Very enjoyable to watch my potato lord ^^

[@eiresby2344]

this is normal in SEA. Tanker/pusher BBs now play as sniper thanks to HE spammer and CV. Sometimes a cruiser the one who become a tanker. IDK why, even lot of back up at the back but still they dont want to push.

[@chuckles9702]

Since you did bring it up, I would really like to see a brawling BB guide. Situations where pushing is good, and where they are not.

[@dawfydd]

See this is where Wargaming SHOULD contact these players and send them this video.. so they can learn not to be potatoes.

[@coyote4961]

You seem to praise the N. CAROLINA, but sorry... I DEFINITELY don't share the same veiw. I'm fairly new to the game and I was actually doing really well. I got complements from people on how well I could aim shots even though I was new. I was sooooo excited to finally get to the N. CAROLINA and what did I find..... The accuracy... is... CRAP!!! I fired many ships MANY TIMES and somehow I was dead on target with my shells litterally landing in front, behind, all around the ship.... EXCEPT FOR WHERE I AIMED!!! Not a single shell hits the enemy. Other times, I fired at a ship that was not moving... at all. I even double checked my unlocking on, he definitely was not moving. I aim my point above the deck of his ship because he was at an angle and what happened....? MY SHELL LAND COMPLETELY IN FRONT OF HIS SHIP!!!! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?!?!?! I'm 100% not joking, he was not moving, I aim above him, and somehow my shells land WAY under where I aimed..... what in the actual fuck!? It was a battleship too.... This has happened so many times, I had to take a break because I was about to get an aneurysm at this point. That's only one part too... yes you right in video, that things citadel is appearantly impossible to not hit and has no armor. I get citadeled nearly every single game. Most of the time, I'm even around like a 45 degree angle to the one who shot me. A newborn child could get a citadel on that hunk of crap! Less notably though still notable, for a battleship of its tier, it can't turn for shit. So you know what, you hit the nail right on the head. The N. CAROLINA is indeed a 100% bonafide troll ship! Seems great until you play with it and get totally wrecked. Only times I did good with it was out of sheer luck. People tell me that the shells seldom will go rogue and accuracy disappear? I disagree, I think that seldom times the damn thing will actually be accurate at all. I have had at least 70% of all shots I fired be spread out in the most insulting way possible. Maybe I'm not as skilled when it comes to using to in the most optimal way, but it sure as hell isn't a good ship... not anymore at least. Great video and good fight. But I really hope when I get to the next battleship in the line, I don't regret picking the American line, because that would be devastating to my interests in this game.

[@Moxiecore]

No wonder it took you so long to make this commentary, you must have put out your back carrying that hard! What a ride!

[@PawlusFishing]

Dispersion RNG in this battle was really brutal...:) poor Flolo:)

[@TaliaTheNeko]

2 pens + 2 overpens = 2620 damage. Wargaming math at its finest.

[@darynauna217]

probably not that bad of a math, i think that what actually happened was those 2 pens, hit the turret and dealt no damage, and the 2 over pens was the actual 2.6K damage

[@nikoolix]

Kenneth: The two pens hit a turret. It's not "WG math", it's you who don't know how the game works.

[@MagnusVictor2015]

Going by the cyrilllic lettering in chat, I bet this is RU server.

[@BenTheTiger131]

North Carolina is always the best BB at Tier 8 and from the north

[@crabsyoureit]

God that's so far from the truth it's comical. It's easily one of the worst bb's in the game, but in the right hands it can be played well. If flamu had been playing almost any other battleship, this game would have been a much easier win.

[@bulldog2000]

Wait did they raise the underwater citadel?

[@yikyak4249]

I think the theme nowadays in high tier is one team gives up all map control and the game ends in 10 minutes or less.

Please make that "How to push in" video you mentioned. I am a decent player but I still struggle to know when its a good time to push in. Thanks!
