Is Groningen Worth Buying In Late 2024?

[@glenakatsr]

Georgia please! Haven’t seen the box of gimmicks in so long!

[@darkroom0716]

Yes this! Nobody talks about the Georgia these days

[@glenakatsr]

@@darkroom0716 one of my favourites!

[@arkagoswami2994]

For good reason.. Georgia is remembered for fun..which is non existent today.. Especially for a t9..

[@krokodyldandi8722]

​​@@arkagoswami2994 yeah its weird that she is kinda forgotten, especially that she was a coal ship and she is still my main money earner. But as you said tier 9 are a shit show

[@sameerkharade7750]

​@@krokodyldandi8722ops!!!

[@PimpekRook]

Hello potato first would love to request alaska 2024

[@kappa_k1337]

I find playing this very meditating. Bambam..... Bambam.... Bambam.....

[@柑-n6p]

Full concealment on Friesland actually makes her a pretty good cap contender, as there are just countless of potato DDs that would smoke immediately when encountered and just stay in the smoke, offering you a free kill with your 5km hydro plus a free smoke for you. I've done this many, many times in my Friesland and it was such a good experience.

[@BL-yj2wp]

I'm having significantly better results with F. Sherman, but Groningen is not a bad ship. The issue is that many players know it's slow and doesn't have any torps, good light cruiser players will just steamroll it. It's a ship that needs to be played carefully.

[@gerrit9519]

Ehm.. the Dutch line DOES have a commander that buffs the Groningen to insane levels. Michiel de Ruyter boosts your firechance even further. Which is MENTAL :)

[@davidpotts7116]

Klaas Jaansen I believe is the free coal commander since De Ruyter is for doubloons, for anyone curious

[@samarthraizada]

I like kitakaze more though. Better concealment, devastating 12km torps and absolutely dumpsters almost everything without needing IFHE.

[@b20f08]

Use it whenever missions requires earning hundreds of ribbons

[@2859Harry]

I would like to see how PQ handles the Daisen now, secondary build, conceal with brisk, just run to a location and be a big battle barge

[@legiocii2678]

Funny that he does Gronigen/Friesland today- I've been playing a ton of both to finish the final destroyer mission (Earn 2500 ribbons) for the Dockyard. These two have been longtime favorites of mine for farming any mission that requires ribbons or main battery hits.

[@LiquidCat-k5w]

Need to see an Orkan review

[@watdeneuk]

One of my favorite ships! Also, it's nice against subs as well with the hydro and forward fireing depht charges. It's kinda nice to have something to counter subs and cv's. It's quite good at contesting caps and even using the hydro offensively (5km range), but I'd say max concealment is an absolute must.

[@robertshaver4432]

Ha ha I was going to post "YES" before I watched this and his first words were said before I could even pause the video lol "YES" ha ha I Will add though that as a Pan Euro Main that I really-really miss having torps (A DDs truly feared threat) when I'm playing Groningen. Ok now I'll watch it.

[@michaelmcnally2331]

Use my Groningen in last set of dockyard mission to get the DD ribbons, ripped straight through it. Just collecting ribbons in co-op then wizzed straight through.

[@mort681g]

It would be hillarious to see a video called "should you play cvs in 2024" and its just 2 seconds long of PQ saying "no -> the end"

[@erikcollatz6153]

Hell yeah truly one of the ships of all time

[@ohmin1]

started to get into dds with this thing. First ever t9 coal ship, bought with closed eyes as there was nothing appealing enough at this tier. Still my goat for credit farm, pretty comfortable one

[@Papu028]

what ship is the best gunboat to learn to use that type of ship? I want learn use gunship DD

[@usagihunter101]

I'd love to see Almirante Grau played with the new Pan-American Commander!

[@Johan-rm6ec]

PQ, for steel Bourgogne or Ragnar?

[@L0RDLUK]

Man Groningen is a great ship. Can't believe it's not a steel ship.

[@samarthraizada]

Kitakaze exists free too, don't forget.

[@bLock_c1pher_Gaming]

Good Morning @PotatoQuality, GGs ty my Dude!. take care.

[@TheRonbo1680]

I have enough coal 4 one, Groningen or Khabarovsk. looking for advise

[@Evan-q4j6e]

Gronningen

[@ichristianreyDP]

how about tier 9 coal ship? do we have credit multiplier?

[@miked815]

This ship is so good it doesnt even need torps

[@Alex-hy9cw]

I would get it if not for the abysmal concealment, alot of tier 8-11 dds are scary af & still stealthier.

[@homefront1999]

Will you do a video on if the Halford is worth it? Saw that ship, looks really interesting. Though not sure that it's worth it.

[@frosty3693]

From what I have seen it is not. The plane costs a gun and torp launcher. And a DD is conflicted as they use stealth to play close and aircraft are best used when your ship is in a safe location. Potato Quality has a video about the ship, look it up. Hybrid BBs can get away with it as they are usually at range and have armor. Something the Halford and Tone do not. I like the Tone but the Atago is better.

[@darkroom0716]

I just got it and I enjoy it. You do lack a bit for raw dpm but the torps are still good and the torps and planes reload fast enough for you to always have something going on. You can be annoying in stealth by intermittedly firing torps and launching planes too. Still not sure whether to cope-build the gun dpm or build for max range. Do NOT build for the torpedos! The game reccomends that you should, do not listen. It takes just 1 good and hard hit to center to knock out ALL of your torpedo dpm permanently. Overall I like it, its fun, but not the best and I think harder for a player to take full advantage of. Almost forgot... the plane spotting is sooooo useful. Like crazy useful. As important as the rockets.

[@BL-yj2wp]

Not particularly. It's a Fletcher with less firepower but added terrible planes. Yes, the planes are useful for spotting, but they take you away from the action longer than a DD can really afford, and they deal little actual damage.

[@alexander3364]

Ship Request: Admiral Makarov. I remember there is a loot box controversy back in the day that reward Makarov instead of a rare drop. After that I rarely see this ship in the game, can you make a review of it?

[@EraOfJack]

Can you still get Freisland?

[@TrayWatson-bj1dv]

Great video. I have her in port however sadly I rarely play her. Idk if you have already done a video about this ship but could you do Puerto Rico

[@MenschAffen]

How do you move the scope? The ankle?

[@LaAlexMan]

C

[@Almedius76]

Gron can use the Klass Janssen commander(spelling?) He gets improved DE

[@manuxuser]

Is this about Groningen or Friesland ?

[@ferdinandcarlpanal2621]

Speaking of gunboats, is the Forrest Sherman worth buying in 2024?

[@llolll1]

What about play Krohnschtadt? Didnt heard a long time of it.

[@teodor6424]

Maybe try playing triple Groningen division. This might be fun

[@ZyICjdUXAHCwLUDHlFk5yFVe]

Actually... double Groningen, both specced for consumables. So you have 8 smokes. With a Jager as third DD in the division. For the spotting. Since you can get the Jager down to like 5.38 km. OK, it doesn't get a smoke but it doesn't need one.

[@tijger5353]

I love my groningen

[@ManehFR]

do zorkiy please, i rarely see zorkiy in any match asia thou

[@robertshaver4432]

I have to disagree with you about Commander Jerzy Swersky... I think his strongest trait is his 25% increase of Adrenalin rush of which doesn't have to be activated. think about what Adrenalin rush enhances... yeah... "everything in terms of firepower". Yes for Friesland his torp reload is muted but increasing Frieslands' rate of fire is Holy Schmit brutal. On that point Groningen is not equal to Friesland if Friesland has Jerzy for a commander.

[@communisticus191]

While true, the Groningen has the dutch seasoned commander with the 50% buff to the fire chance skill (which id argue is better than Jerzy excluding talents)

[@robertshaver4432]

@@communisticus191 Oh my! I didn't realize that he had that skill. Checked and yep! OK I agree with you!

[@frosty3693]

I wonder how the Friesland, Groningen and Ragnar compare? As a DD player I think my first steel ship will be the Ragnar. But I do like DDs that have torps too, like Marceau, the Ragnar seems like it may be boring to play. I was not a fan of the EU DDs when they came out, the IJN torps spoiled me.

[@TrayWatson-bj1dv]

I think i messed up and got Paolo Emilio as my first research bureau ship with out the italian unique commander. Honestly with all the radar and hydro nowadays days and cvs idk how anyone makes that ship work that or I just have bad luck with the matchmaker.

[@PPeterPPan]

"And you are ok with dying very quickly." I think most players are totally fine with it. 🤣😅

[@ZHuang-ei1eq]

For some reasons, I think Kitakaze is a better gunboat.

[@Santander_wows]

Yes since you have torpedoes aswell

[@DerultimateKeks]

​@@Santander_wowsjust feels so terrible getting pushed out of your smoke by whatever heavy ship is coming

[@glenakatsr]

That’s because it is, go to pick for T9 DD everytime

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

It's a bit more versatile because of the torps. But Friesland/Groningen have a much better smoke, AND they have a really good hydro, as well as better DPM. And much better AA. So there's pros and cons.

[@ElvroomGames]

@@AllAhabNoMoby Kitakaze has good AA too. frieslands is just a bit better and it has DFAA

[@clmwrx]

2nd line dd but that dd hides behind the gunboat

[@DylanAmoteguu]

Can you pls play tier 9 holland

[@Shephard0A]

You say these cool things about Groningen, which I even think is great, but in the current meta with the playerbase, it's a fucking nightmare to play unless you play it as a long range battleship farmer. It's useless in most scenarios, because the average game is a steamroll - if you're on the losing side, you do nothing, if you're on the winning side, you also do nothing.

[@kaptenkapal2115]

I got this ship after watching your video. Not this video. Still learning how to play this ship. It's different compared to Harugumo.

[@billwalker9509]

Only go 36 kts?

[@DerultimateKeks]

Yes, it's rather slow

[@communisticus191]

33 out of 59 t9 and t10 destroyers are ~36kts or slower. So its speed is average

[@ElmwoodCertified]

That thing is a real POTATO slinger!!!

[@sardaukerlegion]

Roon?

[@strunglightning]

Love this ship!!

[@matthewmclean9734]

Groningen is the best tier 9 in the game. Friesland was horrible because of the fact the tech tree ships are torpedo focused and captains from them wouldn't work well on Friesland.

[@j_taylor]

That is a weakness with Friesland. I have a dedicated 21 point gunboat captain for Friesland and Ragnar, so anything is possible if you're TryHard enough. 😅

[@redhelmetmann]

Still love my Sherman

[@deinim5854]

It's hilarious when he goes "you farm battleships real well" an then keeps shooting for over a minute and hasn't dealt 10k to a BB :D

[@SethDuncanICT]

Yubari pls.

[@Maxhoppel]

Groningen = Friesland? Title is abit confusing

[@arkus2015]

noice

[@ishaanthadani7100]

lol the titles have changed from should you get XYZ ship in 2024 to late 2024 😂

[@Arturogatti5494]

Groningen is not gunboat, it's smoke farmer
