Is Stalingrad Worth Getting In 2024?

[@Momofukudoodoowindu]

You can tell as fresh waves of new players flood the game and vets put the game away that ships like Stalingrad see resurgences in effectiveness. These newer players don’t respect or understand what a Stalingrad can do. When I bought mine 4 years ago no one dared showed me broadside, nowadays players spread their butt cheeks.

[@timothyodenwald7441]

Respectfully disagree, oh good neighbor to the North. Stali is still absolutely lethal. Stali would easily obliterate Austin @ 17km. Different strokes for different folks. For my Steel...Stali is still KING

[@micklane7306]

Lmao yeah any cruiser can obliterate Austin from the side. That's like the least impressive thing you could've come up with. Nowadays though there Napoli, Conde, Annapolis, and tons of bb's who can just sit broadside and not get cited.

[@EmilSan12]

7:38 even tho you are a great player PQ, the place you aimed at was not going to get you any citadels with any ship.

[@Stephen__White]

But but! He hit the side of the ship that means it should just explode! Doesn't matter he aimed poorly for that shot it should have made the Bungo explode just because! (Obvious sarcasm but also legitimate critique of PQ when he gets on these "why didn't that obviously badly aimed shot not citadel!" bits.)

[@slip6699]

Yeah, I would not expected much aiming so far behind on the first bungo ship was already angled considerably. He goes a lot more for those shots where I would see it and just take the superstructure shot.

[@sillysaili]

yeah uh, about that bungo's citadel goes all the way back to behind the last turret. that shot was well within the citadel range. however, bungo's cit is also waterline and turtleback, so it's just a difficult ship to citadel and no, the angle was not nearly enough to cause issues, especially not for a stali in conclusion, pq should not have been expecting a citadel there, even though it was possible the second salvo was more of a lucky surprise than anything

[@lennhsu]

I have to say that if one dislike getting trolled by Stalingrad's accuracy, then his only choice would be to never ever touch any battleship or battlecruiser again. No battleship or battle cruiser even comes remotely close to Staligrad's accuracy, except maybe Slava, or Satsuma when its skill is activated. Staligrad's accuracy also was never changed, it is just as accurate before the fire prevention nerf, complaining about this is really downright pointless.

[@trust_me_i_lie5749]

Jokes on you. I love playing battleships/battlecruiser like schlieffen or michelangelo and still dislike getting trolled by Stalingrad's accuracy.

[@slip6699]

The yodo shot and Edgar were the games aiming system. It's the most annoying part and goes above and beyond a ships natural dispersion. Those types of shots not punishing players is a game problem, not the ships

i thinkk.. in my opinion, you didnt show the most effective way to use it. either u were full sending, playing like a petro, or at the end u played it like a yoshino basically. if anyone who struggles with stalin reads this comment, i can recommend a mid range (14-16km), kited, AP playstyle. at those ranges you have incredible flight times, pen & accuracy, but arent quite as vulnerable as at 10-12km, + u can speed juke. also, if the enemy flank begins to fall, u can very easily push up & use the radar if necessary (its a fast ship), on the othee hand u can also get away relatively easily. dont play it like a petro, dont play it like a yoshino, somewhere in the middle (i gravitate more towards petro tho)

[@alphax4785]

When Stalingrad first came out they'd already had three seasons of CB where getting enough wins in Typhoon got you a flag, but then they decided to go for steel / coal and so they traded the flags for steel (6500 iirc) but also gave out a special coupon so if you had all three flags you'd be able to afford the Stalingrad exactly.

[@smaug9617]

It was looong looong time ago .

[@MK-wx5vu]

Back when it still had fp it was on a level with petro imo. Could tank almost as much with far superior guns. Felt impossible to deal with. Now its a bit more tricky because of t11, HE Spam and even more planespotting Also once again pq using HE way too often on a very AP focused ship in this video. Stalin wants to use AP at closer ranges even into angled bbs because of insane accuracy. HE is only really usefull when shooting dds or theres a chance for perma fires at longer ranges. At shorter ranges HE and fires just do less dmg

[@Stephen__White]

I almost feel like sometimes PQ is his own worst enemy, he'll get the idea of something must be done a certain way and just smash his face into that wall forever. His flop with Fenyang is a great example of that, seeing as the general idea is "if a DD has HE you spam HE" so when presented with a DD with great AP but horrible HE, he focused on the HE because that's just what you do. In this case he made it fairly clear that likely a lot of the HE use was because of his Twitch chat telling him to use it, and a lot of people just spam HE out of every cruiser that has it because it does get some level of results. Plus likely a bit of his notion of "if AP doesn't cit it feels bad and is unfair" in there as well leading him to over rely on HE when he shouldn't have been using it.

Yeah because it's a valid complaint. LIKE YOU SAID the most accurate guns for the caliber and they can still be painfully inaccurate and it has nothing to do with the players skill. It's a really shitty game mechanic that should be addressed. All the he spammers have stupid high fire rate so the accuracy really doesn't matter. AP relies almost 100% on accuracy but accuracy in this game is completely unreliable.

[@Daedricbob]

I faced a Stanlingrad in a recent game in my Prinz Rupprecht where we were both almost bow to bow (maybe 15 degrees or so) and stopped at 12km-ish distance. I couldn't push out any further as I'd lose island cover and the Stalingrad was reversing. He was shooting what small amount of upper belt of my ship he could see with his front guns with AP and getting 8-10k volleys with destroyer-like accuracy. I was bouncing off him everywhere with my German shotguns. I still don't know exactly how he managed it, but it was damn impressive.

[@SakuraShade]

Stalingrad was forced to stop smoking Stalinium quite as much after the commander and carrier reworks, but it most certainly is still tanky as long as you know what you’re doing. Petro (or as Flamu viewers more lovingly know it, Shitro) is braindead with how tanky it is because of the way it’s designed. Stalingrad is just as tanky, outside of fire damage, but not braindead, as exposing yourself will get you killed. You’re a mid to long range sniper that removes the RNG from your salvos. If you know how to hide your citadel and aim for the enemy’s, it’ll treat you very well. Unless you get into a carrier or sub game of course, in which case fuck you for wanting to have fun.

[@mysticdragonwolf89]

I was debating between the Stalin, Shiki, or the Larnia - realized the Shiki was pretty much an upgraded Yamato or that Super ship and the Italian BBs haven’t been a line I played with much. I also realized my style of ships were exactly what the Stalin was: fast Battlecruisers with semi-BB armor, BB guns, BB anti-air - most of my most played ships were cruisers with BB traits. Hell the Tirtpiz, Pomm, Scharhoust, and even the Brandanburg could be battlecruisers So I got the Stalin last night. No regret, she fits my style - occasional taking flanks, rushing center, and even forcing 3 ships back as their shots bounce off my angled ship. Wish she had more secondaries though

[@kiddo-t2x]

The Yamato and the super ship (satsuma) are definitely better than the Shiki. Shiki is not an upgrade.

#1 Steel cruiser, hands down, and still very strong among all cruisers. Though vert. dispersion can troll you sometimes, still highest sigma in the game, with "MAGIC" shells: Superior pen, no matter what you're shooting. BUT short fuses which do great damage to lightly armored targets (like 6 pens on a DD). BUT unlike other short fused ships, which cause you to not hit citadels, Stalin always gets to the citadels... 🤔🤔... Magic!

No short fuse in game can prevent citadel just fyi

Ship positioning is one of the most important parts of this game. Yet, it is barely even mentioned by most CCs.

Consitency of the guns that rewards aim and not taking half year to reward me (Vermont) Only thing that is torn in my foot are subs, they will ping me and then what. Fires or remove pings. Since Stalingrad takes ages to turn its almost impossible to dodge pinged torps.

Interesting video, considering getting this ship without any other steel ships tbh

[@SoldierOfFate]

In its prime, the Stalingrad was more or less a laser-accurate satellite cannon that fired meteors for shells.

[@Stephen__White]

Sovetskaya Rossiya was one of the Project 23 Battleships, she had been laid down but was only around 1% completed when her steel was deemed more important for Tanks and she was scrapped. Meaning yes she is a Sovetsky Soyuz class. Also the AL is "Azur Lane" the mobile game that Warships colabs with a fair bit. Adding this edit: 20:16 That's honestly true of every ship. It's not unique to Stalingrad, it's true of every large calibre ship in the game.The game really needs to start weighing damage that actually applies vs damage dealt. Sure it looks impressive if you can pull 300k damage out of a game, but if only 120k of that actually stuck because the rest was all fires and HE spam that got healed off. You should only get rewarded for that 120k damage dealt. That way ships that do just kite away and spam HE don't get rewarded for playing wrong.

[@thepaperbagmask]

Ngl I still feel like stalingrad is very tanky, you just have to make sure that you can disengage when you're getting set on fire. Which isn't a big deal because she has the accuracy to get work done at 15 km anyway. Close up, many good BB players know to aim for your nose so either you have to bait them into shooting your side or you eat shit. My win rate in stalin, alaska, marseille is much higher than other ships simply because I stay alive for longer in them

[@zacharytresidentdigimonenj3397]

really curious on your thoughts between the Colbert and the Jinan.

[@tomriley5790]

Stalin has always had a very weak broadside, similarly Edgar isn't just AP its SAP. I still love it, if you angle well it's really tanky, lack of fire prention does make it much more vultnerable to fires and torps plus aa is pretty weak so vulnerable to subs and carriers and getting sniped on broadside but the guns are so good that I love playing it as long as you're careful and mitigate your damage with islands etc. it's great. For me it's the epitome of the ship that you ask for - mess up you get punished get it right it's lethal. In terms of citadels - broadside stalin has always been incredibly weak - Petro is just OP... I find that there's some wierd accuracy in WoWs for all ships - at close range dispersion goes right up - you can hit a citadel at long range where a fraction of a degree would send your shells all over the place. Get close and your shells still go all over the place and you get similar damage - it's a game mechanic I think.

Stalin also takes a lot of pain from CVs, especially AP bombs because its clunky and huge. Your AA is good and you occasionally get the "Soviet bullshit flak clouds" and wipe a squad but if your bow in at an island a Haku absolutely shreds you with your huge size, weak torp protection and big citadel. That's very different in a Petro too

[@davefromrocky]

similar to the Moscow, when you get set on fire which happens pretty easily you burn and burn badly and there are just too many HE spammer ships in the game now. not uncommon to be rocking multiple fires when a single round just lands in your general direction. Angled right can ricochet enemy AP ok enough but same as Moscow and Petro you need those good concealed bow in positions to survive. You can get severely punished for taking on too much and being in the open.

[@thegeneral123]

Stalingrad is good, very good but it's been heavily power crept. Seeing one was a cause for genuine concern and players would avoid this ship if they could. The amount of overmatch, the way the game plays now with the CV and Sub threats, the extremely passive meta. It's hard to use Stalingrad without getting caught and if you get focused or show a little broadside, you're done. It's a very big and sluggish ship which can't really disengage. So you have to play quite passive and it's a shame because a Stalingrad managing to get broadsides is punishing. Also, the lack of hydro is frankly ridiculous in 2024. Either give it as an extra consumable or let it swap Def Fire for it. The biggest hit though is that citadels are basically becoming very hard to hit, new ships tend to be very newer player friendly now and citadels tend to be underwater.

No one needs to shoot bows for overmatch anymore it seems. They just aim for the superstructure and get 15k vollies while your bow in or skim the side of your 80° angled Kurfurst for 20k with guns that don't have overmatch.

[@zhenhao_ng]

How does Stalingrad compare to Moskva?

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

I have just Moskva/Petro no Stalin so can't directly compare them, but I think Moskva is more universal ship. It can just do everything. With Stalin you don't really want to go closer into DDs torp range cos you have no hydro. So you have more powerfull AP but you trade it for no hydro, just 20s radar vs 30s radar and slower reload. Stalin is better against BBs, Moskva is much better against DDs. And for cruiser they are both deadly if they show broadside.

[@atpyro7920]

the short version: more accurate guns, lower DPM, more AP focused, dies easier, can get smashed easier, doesn't have hydro, but doesn't explode when showing just a little bit of side (and can sometimes live big hits moskva wouldn't). Moskva likes to hump islands where Stalin really just plays like a small battleship.

[@MK-wx5vu]

They are very different ships. Moskva better HE, good AP ahainst cruisers. Strong against dds because of the HE. Not as prone to die to HE spam because of 30s fires compared to stalin 60s. Cant really compare them because they play totally different. Both are lots of fun tho

Now thats very silly to play 1 game then hand in the best steel ship in the game. It has a unique playstyle, but it's reputation is right for reason, even in the current state of the game. When I am having a bad run, the 1st ship I goto is the Stali. The guns are insane even at max range with range mod. I have triple citadeled a petro at 22km a few times to say the least.

[@adn.1925]

Trust me, I am well aware of what Stalingrad can and cannot do. As a Clan Commander, I've tested Stalingrad numerous times. It lacks the armor of Petro and the radar of Moskva. Unable to HE spam, the ship requires opponents to expose their broadside for effective damage, which is nearly impossible in clan wars. Adding to the challenges, it is susceptible to easy HE farming due to longer fire sets and a large superstructure. So, don't be misled by a "single game" statement, as I know Stalingrad better than you ever will. What you may not realize is that there are two superior ships, Ragnar and Lauria, both outclassing Stalingrad in their respective categories and utility. This holds true for random battles as well. @@JT-4real

[@JT-4real]

I am also clan commander in the SEA server. I have around 6k games. The Stalingrad was my first steel ship which I have had for a very long time, so to presume you know it better than me is a touch egotistical. Now back to the matter at hand, the Stalingrad may not suit every player in CB, but it still has perfect utility in a capable players hand. On a flank push with range mod it can delete a ship on the opposite flank given its Stalinium shells and godtier sigma and dispersion. So in the class of Steel ships I still believe it holds it's own it 2024 and is a perfectly good ship to recommend as a first steel ship buy. On a side note I also have the Ragnar as I am a DD main, it is a fantastic ship, but its skill ceiling is way higher than the Stalingrad's given its role in CB's. You don't see many people playing Ragnar in randoms, but Stalins are a plenty in both Randoms and CB's. This video is about the Stalin in 2024, PQ is wrong and played it like a muppet and did not play it to it's strengths to get the best out of it. I also acknowledge your points and they are valid, but Petro and Moskva are not Steel ships and are in a catagory of their own and bring their own utility, which if you are a seasoned player will understand it's place, especially in CB's. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

[@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken]

I think it´s easy to guess what your ranking is going to be as far as steel cruisers. Unless I´m forgetting one, the only other options are the Plymouth and the Vallejo.
