There are the Light Cruisers, The Heavy Cruisers, and the Smolensk

[@Kwolfx]

And soon, the Alexander Nevsky which is called a light cruiser but is anything but. Watch Flambass' video playing the Nevsky, open gun-boating, tanking 2.5 million damage and bitch slapping a Moskva player into running away because the Nevsky was kicking his ass.

[@notaidan4451]

As a cruiser main, I definitely can agree with everything, and even learned a few things myself. I wish more players would see this.

[@Skyite]

Just wanna give my thank you on you series, been playing wow of quite sometime yet never be able to "get" the game. Thank you for showing how things are done.

[@joedanker3267]

Good job iChase. I'm still learning cruiser play, I have a couple of thousand battles in them but I'm not skilled enough to be consistent at high tier (8-10). Your emphasis on strong cruiser fundamentals really helped me. Every player should watch this.

[@mariopalenciagutierrez4318]

As someone trying to learn cruisers, I thank you, I'll share your videos with my clan.

[@wowswows7337]

11:12 can anyone tell me why the torpedoes just went through the Moskva??

[@heysianpopnley5198]

You don't know? Moskva has torpedo repulsion which has a 10% chance of just making a torpedo go under the ship. WG needed to buff soviet ships so that they would be on tier with other nation ships.

[@MadcapActivityDomain]

Those were deep-water torpedoes fired from the enemy Asashio. They only hit battleships and aircraft carriers.

[@joelgrimes8923]

would be curious about a redo of this line of videos taking the captain skills rework into consideration

[@alexkesselaar2706]

Hi Chase. Great video again!! Especially on the Moskva and Edinburgh. Liked it a lot, thanks again.

[@M5YUILL]

Feels like everything in this game is a “support” “second-line” ship where you just sling HE from behind your ships.

[@audriusa5368]

11:11 do torps just simple get through Moskva without any harm? Then worth mention that Moskva also immune to torps lol

[@audriusa5368]

@Nicholas Jensen nice

[@lutz956]

Thank you very much for your series.I understood a lot more now and impoved my game massiv!!!!Looking Forward for the next Videos!!!!

[@ingoknito4626]

Thanks for your videos. I returned to WoWS after a long time and this really helps me out!

[@SteelyPaw]

Great video, cruisers can be hard to play against well armored long firing Battle Ships & often it's easy to get sandwiched between to BB's that will eventually sick you before you can run away from their length of fire, because it only takes a salvo or two to sink the best of cruisers. Trying to shoot and maneuvering at the same time I find very tough to do on a PC.

[@anderskorsback4104]

Good video. Cruisers are the one class I've never been able to figure out.

[@randymaatta8824]

Thanks for doing this series. Unfortunately the people who need to see these videos don't know they exist. Since the shutdown, I've seen the worst Random players in 4+ years. I look up after fighting my back side off only to see we are 7 ships down and hitting zero on the next enemy kill. At a time when we can play a lot and improve our skills, all the weekend warriors are playing 24/7. And I believe a lot of players are letting kids play their accounts which is worse.

[@okanui]

great Vid, trying to learn cruiser play, but not so successful yet. this will certainly help.

[@Ayane13b]

Was literally searching to see if you put one out for cruisers like an hour ago aha.. Perfect timing :P

[@canalmiokanka]

We need a second video on BB explaining nations like you did with cruisers and a couple about DD playing ...and I am set to go hehehehe. As a new player your vids are helping me heaps! I reached tier 6 with over 50% win rate. Thanks mate!

[@jackstrang971]

did i miss you talk about Italian CA's?

[@klauba]

There is the chance of another part about cruisers. They are the class with the most variants in the game.

[@philtruscott195]

Many thanks for another great video. Take care of yourself during this pandemic.

[@abbysaito5348]

You know. As this series progresses. I can see the playerbase as a whole change to try to adapt, and as a whole continue to fail executing the positioning lol...

[@sagarkate1281]

Thank you for the Series. : ) Stay Safe You too..!!

[@thomasbernecky2078]

What's with the non-exploding torps on your Moskva at @11:00?

[@johnbeckwith1361]

I saw that, was wondering the same thing. A Pan Asian?

[@janon-yn1jz]

Watching the last few episodes about positioning, I've realized how huge of an advantage the RU line has, how about an episode to show different classes how they can get an advantage vs RU BB/BC?

[@memyshelfandeye318]

10 km torps, lots of targets in range, never used them?!

[@notaidan4451]

When playing British CLs, especially on T8 and down, maneuvering and shooting are much more important than firing torpedoes that usually down hit. Why risk you’re entire ship to fire some torpedoes that may not hit? You never want to use your torpedoes at mid-range while detected, only use them when you’re sure you’re safe

[@makoja7693]

He have plenty of opportunities to use his torp safely but he's not and you fire a torpedoes for more than just damage, it can slow enemy down alot even if it not hit so in his situation he should just spam out torp in general direction of the enemy to help slow enemy advance down and it maybe hit something too.

[@setenzanfamily3664]

I will probably avoid the British line as I can bee a bit fool hardy at times and fire off rounds when I should't thanks for this.

[@missk1697]

update for dutch cruisers?

[@synthclub]

Cool! Now I know why I took a disliking to Cruiser.. as i tried the |British line first and kept getting deleted.. not knowing how to play them.

[@armandbaglin4509]

Great video ! Can you do a same tutorial about the italian CA ? Cause i'm playing them right now and i'm kinda lost about how to play them XD

[@Tuning3434]

+Armand Baglin Oh man, I want to like the Italians, and I understand their power when trying them in coop...but as still a relative inexperienced 50%-er, I have not yet found the confidence to tackle them for realz.

[@armandbaglin4509]

@@Tuning3434 I did some good things with them i have the amalfi right now but ihave the feeling that i don't play them like they're supposed to be played... And if i make a mistake...i'm dead... so basically for now it's not really enjoyable

[@thomasparal2724]

The way I would describe them, in iChase's terms, would be an IJN style line. The have the Japanese quick rudder and speed, but also somewhat fast turrets similar to the German CAs. They're mostly built for mid-long range gameplay, where they can dodge a lot of fire. True, they aren't the stealthiest, but are centered around DD ambushes, and kiting any larger ships. Essentially, you want to focus DDs when you see them. Do not let them escape your grasp, but don't charge them either. With the smoke, I greatly reccomend using it more as a opportunity to ambush or escape. Often, I get overconfident in chasing DDs, and I'll simply pop smoke and turn around to kite the enemy Cruisers/Battleships chasing me. Or, I'll do the opposite, wherein I'll use the smoke to charge at an enemy undetected. Often the tactics you use in IJN cruisers can be used in the Italians, with some minor changes, such as focusing on SAP chunk damage rather than HE fires. I'm not super good in them either, only 52-54ish percent, so do take my advice with a grain of salt. I was unlucky with the event, only unlocking the T5, and I'm only halfway through the grind on the Amalfi from the Zara.

[@Tuning3434]

@@thomasparal2724 T5, T5 premium and the T6 Tronto. Got the commander too, but I was very very much feeling the grind pain. Not that keep on grinding the Italians yet, cause have more interesting lines to grind.

[@armandbaglin4509]

@@thomasparal2724 good advices thx a lot ! For the amalfi i think it's great but 9 SAP shells are not goood enough to enjoy... i think that from the t9 it's gonna be better cause brindisi has a 4th turret so 3 more canons plus it does have access to the heal so i think the gameplay will be "less dangerous"

[@DarkflameAmv]

Is there a good way to play the ibuki? stuck in the zao grind but man do i hate playing that ship. forget bb's that thing regularly gets double to triple cited by other cruisers even had AP Bombers nuke it for 80% of its health.

[@Xion2611]

Check out his last video that covers IJN.

[@EvoraGT430]

Looooooooooong-range HE spam.

[@DarkflameAmv]

just recently got the ship but i've built my captain for he spam with AR,DE & CE, just missing the radar upgrade and the firing range mod. still 20% fire chance but i get like 2 fires per match.

[@johnbeckwith1361]

I have the Zao and ever since they changed the CV, plus all the new buffs and premium ships I think the whole IJN line of CC's are a waste. Bad AA, easy Citi to hit, great guns and maneuverability but that doesn't help much when your spotted by planes while being targeted by BB's. I gave up playing those ships entirely. They were once great ships imo.

[@thomasbernecky2078]

Great series iChase. Do you plan to add to this for the new Cruiser lines: British Heavy and Russian Lights?

Great Vids as usual Chase, also could you bring back the Know your Ship videos again now that we have a bunch of new ships since the last time.

[@Tuning3434]

+ifotrois toon In iChase's absence (please continue these tutorials, I pretty please beg you), I can highly recommend Drachinifel. I stumbled upon his channel a few years ago when having a serious Cold Turkey from a lack of Know your Ships, and nothing against iChase, but Drachinifel recedes on a higher level of existence (I am still recovering of his 5+ hr Q&A Drydock episode from this weekend, so I am a bit biased).

[@DocHoliday1612]

Most importantly a big Thanks for your effort on that series, I appreciate it very much, even as a veteran player there's a lot to be learned here ! One thing I find a little arguable is your phrase "staying behind your battleships"... because in most matches that would mean I'd have to stay at the map border behind 3 top tier, bow tanking and reversing BBs. BBs play that despicably cautious and completely "my own safety/health pool first" these days, cruiser life is very hard. You try to create some momentum and mostly end up as top target and get blapped for it. Add in DDs that ignore the cap completely and you've got a tough piece of work there. But well, if it was easy, everyone could do it, right ?

[@szmike]

that's it, if I stay behind BBs as a rule I barely do any damage and the game is lost... if I try to poke... well, it either ends ugly or I escape barely alive and am in no position to contribute much with persistent BB camping

[@Carvetii]

The way the game is at the moment with all the new stealth ships and overpowered ships its about time they gave all cruisers heals. getting tiered up in cruisers with no range is painful without heals

Moskva was designed as a battlecruiser so how come she is in cruiser class whilst Hood, Scharnhorst etc are BBs? You need to say Soviet cruisers are defended by plot armour and are miss classed, you should do separate vids for nations ships, be easier than cram so much in one vid

I think there is a lot of good information but I also feel like the focus of this and the precious episode are starting to be lost. This is about positioning not play-styles right? Granted the play-style of a ship line does affect it's positioning, it just seems these are focused more on play-style than positions. Still think the videos are great!
