[@Mr_King96]

Your build just counters CVs so well that they don't even spawn in. Impressive PQ ;)

[@tijger5353]

fr lol :)

[@robbailie5878]

That is actually hilarious. So true. You build for AA and wow. Look. No CVG's. Spend a fck ton on respeccing your commander no AA. CV's every game. . . hmm.

[@donnybrook23]

Never ceases to amaze me how this exact circumstance occurs. Seems to be very regular if I do the same thing. Its almost like there is some hidden protection within match maker for this. We cant have you upsetting "poor CVs" and making the game "not fun" for them can we. That is apparently only allowed when it is the other way around...................

[@yoshyusmc]

@@robbailie5878 HAHA! Exactly my experience too!

[@tijger5353]

Wargaming knows😂

[@lunasamoyed4907]

I find it very often that there's no CV when I take any of my fully AA built ships. Way too many times to not think it's rigged.

[@BergenDev]

Almost like the algorithm knows there is good AA.

[@lunasamoyed4907]

@@BergenDev yeah, it's just sad

[@kena4977]

I only play full AA builds when a div mate is playing CV

[@lunasamoyed4907]

@@kena4977 that and when I'm fed up with CVs feasting on my ships for too long

[@dzello]

It's not rigged at all, it's a very common confirmation bias. You're more likely to notice the lack of a carrier when you're running an anti-carrier build. While the class is very oppressive, there's actually not that many games with them. Plus, if you run a Worcester with an anti-air build, your odds of it being relevant are extremely low: - A carrier can be absent. - A carrier can be present, but is unlikely to go for a Worcester. - A carrier can be present, is highly unlikely to go for an anti-air build Worcester.

[@ris3-xi918]

In that first game it amazed me how both the Minotaur and Shima tried to chase a *Worcester* down in spawn. Most of all a *SHIMA* . A torp boat trying to hunt down a radar Light Cruiser is crazy.

[@GodOfWaaar]

* which is running away

[@jammo7370]

Best guess is they recognized PQ and wanted to be the one to kill him, maybe show up on stream or in vid lol

[@Cesp43]

That battle was supported by the Most Paid Actors.

[@mihaitha]

not crazy, just stupid.

[@silwarhd3851]

Can you please do Alvaro de Bazan next? Would love to see how to play the ship, cause I'm currently struggling a bit.

[@Ace42x]

Build for guns and concealment- if you're up against a DD that outguns you, outspot it. If you're up against something you outgun, you grind it down until its HP is low enough for you to finish it off with the funny-button. If you're stuck fighting a stronger gunboat you use the funny-button to out-trade it and then time your smokes to disengage and back off whilst waiting for funny button to recharge, then repeat. If you think the enemy's going to break contact, then obv you use the funny-button to get as many salvoes in possible before they go dark. Once the enemy DDs / subs are neutralised you're free to island / smoke farm - use the funny button to quickly relight perma-fires timed to land once their DCP expires; or throw out opportunistic torpedoes. If you've got enough CO points to get the range extension skill, you can speed-juke at max-range whilst farming to a degree (although it can be a bit too risky if you're at low health); combined with abusing enemy traverse / reload times you can somewhat mitigate the risk. Just countering the enemy DDs / Subs is enough to win games.

[@Baelfyr]

I would like to see a radar minotaur.

[@EvoraGT430]

Done already.

[@reignaanwarah216]

I would love to see a Bayard video. It's so rare to see the ship... I actually went for a full rudder shift build with mine, kinda troll ik, but super fun to play, wiggling my butt and actually being able to dodge even carrier stuff.

[@Just_som_Ottur]

Another more subtle problem with AA builds, is that in the case one proves to be extremely effective, then it’s likely the CV just won’t come back for the remainder of the game…

[@gannonjs]

HMAS Perth - cruiser with crawling smoke

[@kevinthechuker1721]

Puerto Rico also has some good AA, do her next!

[@STORMIETR00PER]

Yo I heard you like battlecruisers :P

[@facemcshooty3046]

@@STORMIETR00PER no no no see PR isnt a battlecruiser, its an extra large cruiser, so its ok

[@MrZonehawk]

I really like your play and narration. It makes me laugh when you start laughing during a game. It shows a good attitude.

[@UnleashedEMC]

This coming up in the algorithm must be a April fools joke for the Worcester guy.

[@clmwrx]

Dude needs to give up

[@JinxingEdititng]

Since you had such a good time in the Mogador recently I'd really like to see some Marceau

[@azerhero]

can you do a neustrashimy? been thinking to buy it but it cost so much..

[@jamesharrington001]

As I've learned with my AA build Cleveland, I almost never see CV's with it... almost like WeeGee doesn't want my eating planes for some reason...

[@imposterflareon9327]

I'm gonna try this but with the Yodo. It doesn't have quite the raw damage of Wooster AA but it's decent + it has that long 6.9 km range. My thoughts are to play more as BB escort and just throw torps and salvos from the back while keeping the AA bubble over as many green ships as possible. Should be a fun change of pace.

[@joedoe6444]

as someone that plays CV only on certain occasions, i know that you never go close to a Worchester (and most other light cruisers) as they just chew up ships. i think an AA build on most CLs is a waste as you only get CVs in some games, but the other skills and mods can be used every game.

[@Saddy231]

Lets gooooo! Thank you so much for doing my request PQ! Is unfortunate you didnt encounter a single carrier tho

[@cypher3422]

Hey, the build worked. It worked so well infact that there wasn't a CV in sight for 3 games (!!!!) in a row, so...... Win?

[@henryburrows1772]

Would love to see the OG Belfast. It was a beast back then, wonder how potent it still is.

[@trcspot1196]

Would like to see how you play the Tromp or the Black so I can decide on next coal ship

[@devonellis2520]

Trump plays like a t7 dd with airstrikes. Not that can't be fun. Black though is a dangerous Lil boat.

[@mobadisko]

sir, where is the video of the A gear you mention on 0:07 ?

[@clmwrx]

Agir?

[@STORMIETR00PER]

I have a Full AA Eugen... When i am sick of dealing with planes I go play it. Tin foil hat but i swear the MM keeps the carriers away from games where people bring AA. most of the time i get no carrier games in it. and when i get a carrier i get to shoot a lotta planes. PB so far is 56 though that was a double carrier game and one of the carriers was a T6.

[@backtobeam9260]

Napoli next please :)

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Off topic, but Sherman or Marceau? I'm more of a torp dd than farmer, so neither really fits my style, but I want/need a premium T10 dd.

[@teodor6424]

You need to recruit me into a platoon with my CV, so you will have a carrier game 100% sure XD

[@t.maximilianwaechter3208]

Let's gooooo! Been running full aa and lighthouse on mine for a while and when it works it WORKS. Only downside is I'm visible from orbit and get deleted 2 minutes in most games...

[@gstormcz]

It's good to see you can outperform everything in the match with the ship, which is very long time in WoW. Worcester was my 1st T10 cruiser. I am just curious how would you rate AA on Dutch cruisers nowadays. I remember it was very powerfull at their release. Maybe still as strong as Worcester, right? Xd

[@jessehill9439]

Full AA Ignacio Allendi, melts tier 6 and 8 CV planes i get 40+ plane kills if the cv gets mad, also my ship suggestion would be "Irian"

[@FancyaBevMate]

My worc has 70% WR on 68 games i have always used IFHE but more importantly RPF as its early game role is a dd hunter then mid end game island hugging lobbing firing. And i mainly just use the rear most guns as you rightly mentioned you'll rarely take any damage but again more importantly keeps the main structure hidden meaning very frustrating for enemy ships 😊 Cheers

[@distant6606]

Finally man. I love aa worcester but no one on youtube has made a video about it (that is recent at least)

[@kyleuptergrove4040]

MM knew you were AA build which isnt allowed to effect CVs being WG favorite baby. Ship pick: Grozovoi

[@GoreTheronHD]

Hey PQ! Can you do Yoshino? It's my new aquisition, and it seems that I'm not able to make it work consistently. Thank you!

[@tijger5353]

this is a year ago?

[@MrTrool323]

The moment you demount the AA skills and modules...the carrier RNG will strike back

[@tomhollins5303]

Dont think its particularly random.

[@Seluecus1]

That 2nd match, PQ... I don't think it's a matter of them not learning, but more that they don't give a damn. The amount of times where i had to go from my spawn, clear across the other side of our spawn to make up for a gap that shouldn't be there is astounding. The sad thing is that team was so sure that they won because their "Train" worked for that particular map, when it was really a mix of me pushing the opposite flank, drawing the attention and forcing the reds to nose in to me and turn broadside to the rest of my team. They just don't give a damn, and there's no reason to do so, in all seriousness.

[@cupotrout534]

Currently in a WoW lull but still enjoy your videos. Got my first t10 Yamato and working on Seattle but currently out of credits. Jean Bart for the next ship?

[@Y0urricane]

Probably unique upgrade improves AA too? At least, faster reload of priority sector and defensive fire. Also this helps with dds with faster radar

[@jedpratte]

Never tried full AA Wooster. Always ran reload, really nutty when Halsey procs in reload Wooster lol.

[@herrhaber9076]

My favorite "revenge" against CV when I have been bullied once too many in a DD. CV's usually dont come back for seconds :)

[@JMHTruck32005]

I'm gonna throw this out and see if you can do a Ship Request on the IX Brest. I can't seem to find a build that keeps it from being burned down. I hope....

[@vampirecount3880]

[@oddforoddssake3751]

Play the Albermarle. Suffer as I did many a month ago😂

[@badbot2832]

I mean PQ didn't manage to show off the AA of the Worcester (disappointing I know) but he did discover a way to guarantee no CV's in the MM, which I think the players are far more interested in. lmao

[@giantdwarfulf]

I have like 30-40 games in Halland and maybe 2 or 3 of them were with CVs and in those battles they ignored me

[@ProjectMork]

I've got the seattle I still got a way to go to get this one I cant wait.

[@Chuck1284-]

I'd like to see an episode on the Minotaur.

[@Ace42x]

*Full (well no, don't drop aiming module for the lame preparation cooldown module, obv - that's a noobtrap) AA Neptune's pretty satisfying to abuse enemy CVs too. The reload module is a really painful trade-off just because Neptune's DPM without it is a bit sad tier-for-tier (you really feel it when you're trying to grind down saturated angled targets); but being able to have an out-sized impact on enemy CVs is circumstantially very valuable. When CVs barely get a single bomb or torp hitting a target in exchange for losing an entire squadron, they tend to rethink sending their planes anywhere near your part of the map. Part of the issue with AA, and probably why so many players prefer to whine about CVs rather than build against them, is how many loopholes there are in the mechanics. "Oh, you're AA specced? Well, this Indom captain knows how to slingshot so it just does nothing". "Oh this captain knows how to abuse the islands you're right next to, so no flak damage for him". "Oh that captain is in a Russian CV so gets free invisible damage reduction, and can release from the far extremes (or even outside of) your AA range." Ditto for the weak state of catapult fighters.

this is the main reason you bring an AA build

[@guns12396]

You should have div up with a CV to get at least one game with a CV, you know just to show the power of it. (You know the CV would come near you once and probs not again for the rest of the game anyways

[@florianbielawa2919]

I remember when Wooster was considered OP and look at where we are now lol

[@Aforce005]

They should pull a WoT and give you 2 load outs and 2 crew builds

[@blazinbenji5571]

Do Perth! Or Erie! Erie was voted highest on the Gibraltar vid!

[@arizona_anime_fan]

i'll tell you this is the matchmaker. it's been doing this to AA ships for a while. not all of them, but some of them. My D7P, which is my favorite light cruiser to play, only has seen 3 CVs in the last calendar year. the last one in January. If you AA build a petro you have a fair chance to never see a CV too.

[@boydy7351]

It’s a fighting withdrawal. Never term it as a retreat, bad for morale.

[@jonathankc422]

This happens to me very commonly, if I play my wooster full AA build I don't find any CV but as soon as I change to a ship like shimakaze then there is no missing CV in each game, some times I feel like this is rigged because I can't explain how is that possible lol

[@sonnenwende5508]

Yes, like my full AA Jinan games. Whenever I play Jinan, I do not come across any CVs around. It is kinda suspicious.

[@Rio_1111]

AA-builds are the best defense against CVs. WOW! Happens to me too. In my case it's my fully AA-built Groningen

[@andrewlim300]

In case you didn't know, every match is rigged in warships, naive people will say it is confirmation bias. Flambass had a whole video that confirms the rigged matchmaking on ships with good AA. It is not only wargaming that does this, almost all major game companies rig matchmaking it is an industry wide practice.
