Azuma is the Alaska for Zao players who want to reduce their winrate further.

[@sirdancealot2645]

I absolutely love Yoshino though. A total pain to deal with if you know what you are doing lol. Because I have a Yoshi, I never needed an Azuma...

[@heatherrockwell9012]

As a Zao player, I'm sold!

[@davidpotts7116]

My first ever game in Azuma was hilarious. I ended up brawling a Yamato, and was able to time his salvos to start turning in whenever he was about to shoot. It left most of his shells in the water as I charged him and rammed for the win. Rudder shift on Azuma is actually just really good for survivability in the current meta versus fire prevention mod.

[@LaunchpadGamingGuy]

One great thing about this ship, it does print credits.

[@azjves]

But in Asia, when you see Azuma/Yoshino in team, especially those who use range mod, 90% of the times it will be loss for the team. Always sits on >15km, never shoot DD, and always the first one running away whenever they see big guns (which basically almost all T9+ BB) even though they are not even charging at/attacking those Azuma

[@thefish53_68]

Same in NA from my experience. They might as well be AFK.

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

Its the ship with the least impact on the game. She will run away if something just touches her and she is completely useless. The only thing it can do is spam HE at maximum range. Plus, she's terribly boring to play.

[@mertc8050]

Guess im the anomaly who sticks less then 15km most of the time

[@Posilepton]

Survivor bias. You're going to blame them for not doing anything because they're probably alive at the end of the match and you aren't.

[@KingCreeper868]

Hey PQ, can you do a video on how the economy of World of Warships works? Especially on topics such as earning Base XP and others? I don't believe a video of that nature has been featured on your channel.

[@TomMJH]

I have both and they are both good ships for sure ⚓ Good and honest review of them.

[@Geneticlyinsane1]

Wouldnt mind seeing the Thunderer or even the Conq . interested to see them actually played by someone that knows what they are doing and not just mindlessly slinging HE permanently

[@zafpoijean7749]

the first premium ship I bought. just enjoying this ship since I got it.

[@biznisman7049]

I am playing Agir with the heavy AP, and it is phenomenal, only thing missing is range. I got the ship in one of the Christmas containers during the Scharnhorst '43 event around the New Year. So I am not complaining, FREE ship is a FREE ship.

[@ishaanthadani7100]

I really like these videos, ranking ships and giving suggestions.

[@tomriley5790]

Blind shot that got you at the end there - pretty impressive from the Slava, potentially if you'd jinked a bit more you would have lived.

[@L0RDLUK]

I think you can supplement HE alfa for fires on DDs and light cruisers. On ships like the Azuma though, I do agree with you. Had the Azuma had HE alfa like the Ägir does, it would likely not perform as good as it can as it is now.

[@MrRaffy1997]

14:00 as long as our teammates back us up. meanwhile they go long way being useless xD

[@rocketfishx3474]

I played Azuma in the tier nine 1v1 brawl and I smashed a bunch of Agirs and the others and I rarely lost. It is a strong ship for that. I did play one match against a Alaska and it destroyed me though so it seems like it is the best maybe

[@streambotnt2095]

I got the azuma not too long ago. I usually have fun playing her, the experience isn't always the best cuz I'm not all too good with positioning but when I make it work it's a real blessing to have 29% fire chance with big alpha. Lobbing them high explosive melons into DDs faces is fun, just not for them.

[@AWblue]

Just got azuma from azur lane the al azuma and honestly she is a sweet ship for my playstyle she suprisingly does well against uptier aswell

[@ob1kenobi748]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Hyuga

[@user-ls3bv6rg6u]

I really want to get an Azuma but my memory of being a Yoshino/Azuma hunter keeps stopping me from purchasing.

[@jamesharrington001]

Between Agir and Azuma, I'd rather take my Azuma to battle, just because her guns are reliable. My Agir has been gathering dust ever since I got Siggy, just because Siggy is a flat out better Agir. That all being said, if I'm going to take a large cruiser out, I'm taking Alaska...

[@ReDiR20]

Alaska is highly overated, Agir better

[@Ryan-hj3pu]

@@ReDiR20 hahahaha

[@mertc8050]

I have agir and azuma and yoshino but no alaska;( gotta say azuma is better like waaay better agir sucks it is bigger then bismarck/tirpitz/brandenburg and guns and armor are trash imo so id rather azuma for t9. Also i get better performance out of brandenburg then agir lol its so funny..

[@sardaukerlegion]

Yes

[@evanroberts2771]

WHY do people let themselves burn like the position you're in at 2:50 just so they can waste a heal on it?????????

[@theactualduck]

Coal ships are fine, but what about the Maya? 👉👈

[@blazingmatty123]

16:41 36 more than you need

[@Boatswain_Tam]

Fun fact: although the Azuma was never built, the US Navy got so worried about this class of ships that they designed & built the Alaska class to fight them.

[@tomriley5790]

Kind of the US built the Alaska's (Designed to counter things like the Graff Spree/"pocket battleships" because they had rumours and thought the Japanese were building the Azumas.. the Japanese never actually built them or even issued contracts to start production... In the event all the japanese cruisers were sunk before the Alaska "cruiser killers" could be built...

[@mertc8050]

Bruh skill issue....

[@JunkoXan]

@mertc8050 ...you don't say... xP

[@tsuaririndoku]

Ah yes, Azuma the first Generation Battlecruisers. Like her rivals, Alaska and Stalingrad. Yes, I’ll call Alaska and Stalingrad a Battlecruiser. Fight me.

[@1armstrong607]

The real question is should I shell out the 170 bucks for Tsurugi

[@jaysonnunley6602]

nah she aint that good plus shell come out later they just suing fomo again

[@tomriley5790]

No.

[@-tr0n]

nope

[@Mariottide]

Azuma's problem is that Yoshino exists.

[@domcorleone9314]

Azuma or Agir? Which would you say is stronger overall?

[@chaswin7697]

It feels like PQ is more lighthearted with this game recently, thats good. Also, CV when ?

[@matethomka2961]

"You died." :D

[@michaelray3865]

Yoshino, definitely though you need to know how to max her strength. Azuma, not nearly so much the worth.

[@Billswiftgti]

I swear Azum ais better than it used to be

[@user-uf5vi5mg9e]

This is my favourite target to shoot at. It just eats shit. And its playstyle is boring af. Glad i didnt miss out on Alaska, the best large cruiser by far.

AGINCOURT NEXT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!

[@snarkywombat155]

Man, use your dcp. No need to burn for no reason.

[@EvoraGT430]

Wrong. Better to leave 1 fire ticking (if spotted) and most enemy will stop HE-ing you. If you DCP a single fire, EVERYONE will then shoot HE at you to get multiple fires which you cannot repair. Normally only use DCP with 2 fires.

[@snarkywombat155]

@@EvoraGT430 Right. I'm well aware of all the time when you do not DCP a file. He was not detected, not being engaged and not in any danger at least 30 seconds. He does it fairly often, I think he just forgets and lets single fires burn because of heals, it is a waste still.

[@jaysonnunley6602]

yamamoto is trash as far as commanders are concerned not very good skills and requiring a kraken is ridiculous most other nations have a condition they can activate quite easily and the Japanese only get a first kill and kraken which is ridiculous
