Is The Tier 9 Any Better? - Adatara First Impressions

[@thebarris7516]

the best part about these ships seem to be their permanent camouflage

[@mjxw]

many such cases

[@RAMATEC-1]

The AP are like the Sun Yat Sen, large caliber without damage

[@SebaX92]

Yup. But Sun has good pen at least.

[@eimaipiswsou3198]

Sun yat sen can literally smash bbs at 15+km ranges though if the shells connect. Bungo can hit 10/10 shells at 18kms and do 0 cits to battleships because the shells are trash

[@sergeyyes2776]

The devs see that the sun yat sen doesn’t work except in very specific scenarios and now they made a ship like it with no armor lol, I haven’t seen a sun yat sen on NA servers ever

[@SebaX92]

@@sergeyyes2776 I have it and it's ok especially on ranked can deliver a good punch.

[@faynk.6247]

I guessed they don’t want another Georgia running around at tier 9 so they nerfed every 457mm Alpha

[@NOBLE-wo5rr]

​@@BawdyBadgeri mean, the game is wrong

[@BawdyBadger]

@@NOBLE-wo5rr it is. The problem is those new guns are too accurate that all the little aiming bugs are being exposed.

[@sergeyyes2776]

Isnt Bismarck also an 8 gun bb? That should be the next ship review video and we take subtle jabs at the new Japanese bb line while reviewing it

[@BestShifty]

To me this just looks like standard IJN dispersion. Go and play Nagato for a bit, it´ll be the exact same experience were you bracket everything. Speaking of Nagato. If you want to nail the fact that the shells are the biggest weakpoint of this line just compare Yumihari with Nagato AP.

[@zlpatriot11]

Exactly my thoughts. IJN BB dispersion is notoriously trolly and expecting perfect shots every time is ludicrous. To be honest, the T10 looks better in regards to how IJN BB standards go in the game.

[@KarthikVishwamitra]

PQ and most CC's have been spoiled by ships like Thunderer and Vermont, or Schlieffen that basically play themselves with excellent dispersion or auto-damage. The average battleship shouldn't be having dispersion that good, especially with cruiser concealment and all the overmatch in the world.

[@jaysonnunley6602]

are you dumb or what the entire point of this ship line was accuracy and what were seeing aint@@KarthikVishwamitra

[@OcedarMopzar]

They should increase the shell alpha and pen while increasing the reload if it's too much. The guns don't feel like 457s, they feel like 406s with 30mm overmatch.

[@Mr_King96]

Unfortunately the sigma doesn't matter too much when the dispersion ellipse is terrible. The Yamato is allegedly an accurate BB but the salvos you get out of it...

[@wombat4191]

Sigma definitely matters. Good sigma can specifically compensate for a bad ellipse a lot because your shells will be more likely to go towards the center, meaning that the bad ellipse will matter less.

[@carloschristanio4709]

Wg remenbers the russo japanese war

[@danh7411]

Tell that to Stalingrad with its BC dispersion but 2.65 sigma

[@MrSniperdude01]

That's exactly what I tell the weebs that tout the T9 sister ship. If you're lucky to dev strike in one salvo, great !! Good luck if you're like me and require quick follow up shots.

[@captainworstpirateiveheard9842]

I was so hyped for these. It's a shame they're performing like this. I'm happy to wait for this to hit the tech-tree full access

[@forseti3811]

I don’t understand, PQ seems to be consistently shooting low based on the location of the x mark on the minimap (particularly at the beginning of the video). Ofc there’s an element of the aiming bug, but recently it feels like he’s just not aiming as well as before. Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

[@Kerstlamers]

yea I noticed it too. And he tends to wait to long before shooting, so the target already turns out/in. Only lately though.

[@Ny4d]

Yeah i thought the same after the Bungo videos, shot placement and timing were all over the place. Feels like he is pretty tilted and needs a break.

[@demian7567]

the plane seems like it really buffs the vertical dispersion more than anything else, and the fact that the vertical dispersion is terrible really seems to make this a ship that wants to farm nose in ships with HE when the plane is down, but then switching to AP when they're broadside at close range or against cruisers. Interesting how it has two completely different playstyles in one ship. I think I'll be grinding these out.

[@JohnSmith-ux3tt]

Grinding through the Adatara now and am losing the faith. If you want what this line supposedly promised, what ship do you suggest - accurate and strong AP?

[@nozyspy4967]

The accuracy at long range on this ship is absolute pants. Even when the AP shells hit they either overpen or bounce. The AP is much better at short to mid range, but the armour is so bad that you would have trouble getting in that close. EDIT: Just tried the HE as someone suggested below. Totally counterintuitive for a Japanese BB, but it worked fairly well. 12k HE salvo on an Amagi at long range!

[@vivekpatel3752]

I really liked the music. It feels like some old vintage movie music

[@jeremyscherbert7336]

Ok, this makes me feel better is a bad way. This is what my experience has been with this one and Yumi, came here to see what I was doing wrong. Apparently my biggest issue is the ship I picked

[@johnvga6239]

[@Admjoh]

Im sorry to say PQ but these are really entertaining. Lots of hope deteriorating in front of our eyes pointing out all the flaws we all know about but believe and hope can't possibly be true. Yet here we are. just rolling the dice.

[@CaptainSpud88]

Fire chance on this ship seems insane lol every salvo is a fire

[@thomasantonsen]

I feel Adatar extremely difficult to get get good hits with as well. Not feeling I`m helping my team out, it`s a pain grinding up to bungo. Worse than Yamahari.

[@terraincognitaband7273]

whats better after nagato? the bungo or the yamato tree? i have to choose

[@shinokurokaze1980]

as someone who struggles to crack 50K damage in games this is just every battleship in the game unless you get like 15 guns.

[@MrBreakdownBoy]

Super accurate BB's that are not accurate? Probably has some bugs in the code that does not reflect the displayed stats?

[@Graf.Heinrich.Von.Darkholme]

oh man, it's like seeing the old german BB Dispersion, this gives me itches

[@samuelwong4152]

i think adatara is not bad with 457mm at tier 9, but Bungo is what u want to keep.

[@aight111]

Guns be like, all bark with no bite 😂

[@Blackdeath939]

If you want cruiser dispersion, you have to play like a cruiser. Get that HE ready.

[@prebzade_original]

Art Department is still the hard carry for WoWs. Good to know :)

[@eimaipiswsou3198]

They should have went with izumos 410s so they dont get the 30mm overmatch so they could have the ability to smash broadside bbs as well. These 457 shells are just pathetic.

[@fabianaguilar3537]

Outplaying with AP? I play crusers mostly and my observation is that bbs just sit there shooting at me with their overmuch nonsense. Damage is Damage with whatever shell type you made it.

[@bokute2020]

I love Bismarck and Tirpitz but man I hate FDG so much I sold it to buy other ship.

[@gizmoZG]

They really need to fix the aiming bug !

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

Dispersion looks atrocious without the spotter plane.

[@micklane7306]

Played this ship in ranked all night. Every goddamn salvo bracketed every ship i shot at. This piece of shits got worse dispersion than the italians.

[@jakobi700]

[@phuongnguyen-hb4wj]

now WG gives 457mm gun to tier9 techtree ship too pretty sure cruiser player would love getting clapped from any random angle by this thing, especially against tier7

[@johnpickering2008]

They're not really 457s though. They have less pen than the IJN 409s and the alpha is 3k less than the American 457s

[@seraphis]

Japanese dispersion's just the worst isn't it?

[@MrShaggy789]

Im grinding the Yumihari, and boy, she isn't any fun. Guns are constantly inaccurate despite high sigma rating. Japanese bb vertical dispersion is worst in class. For me, vertical dispersion, will indicate the true accuracy of a ship guns than sigma. Slava best in class, best vertical dispersion. St Vincent sigma only 1.6 but vertical dispersion is better than average.

[@Gundolf300]

A tier 9 and 10 Nagato and Amagi which habe less dpm than the actual nagato and amagi 🤣

[@rickwiggins283]

WG is so scummy and untrustworthy these days it's possible they have special code in place, which we can't see, to make them less accurate and less penetrating than what the parameter files otherwise indicate for these ships. Based on your observations I see no other explanation, but would like hearing other theories.

[@ShonenTProductions]

Another Video more Salt from the Mine

[@Beep2bleep]

There's gotta be some hidden stats that are messing this line up. That Bongo video you had really great hits but almost nothing was a cit. I wonder if these shells have a longer than avg arming time or something you had a bunch of overpens that didn't make sense. If that is the case you might actually get many more cits using HE than AP. Maybe try Bongo again just using HE and see if you can get cits that way?

[@insomniacicu4447]

Do you know how HE works in this game? There are very few ships at t10 that HE can cit

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

Hidden Krupp values affect how shells interact with armour, particularly against ships with spaced armour and internal citadels. WW1 era ships have lower krupp values so even though the initial pen looks good on paper, after hitting the first layer of armour the shell basically runs out of momentum and detonates before the cit. Spaced armour really screws up cit RNG as a whole though

[@arcano1973]

Seriously, the damage of these 457 guns of this line looks like the 380s of Tirpitz / Bismarck. I'm so not excited to return to this stupid game...

"12k damage so far, very good!" ..."lost a lot of HP, haven't really dealt much damage". Also "I've been told I should be using the HE more so I took gun feeder" **multiple AP salvos at DDs** It's very confusing!

[@zagareth4604]

2nd game, the HE spam. Unfortunately WeeGee with their enlightened wisdom what gamer want, decided to make HE extremely strong and ships very weak against it. So it doesn't matter if you want it or like it - you get it and now you can deal with it or you get some influence on the devs and change their mind 😜but we all know how it ends... WeeGee does what WeeGee does, milking the gamer from their money. HE is the easy way, I saw it on my Conqueror lately. Nothing goes so smooth and chilling like HE spam over the distance. Why should I use my Preussen or any other brawling BB and make an effort, when I can win the games way easier?

[@CaptainSpud88]

It’s the pain of the game as a whole to many bugs and the game taking out skill and it’s all just random chance now.. last night had a 4km total shot gun salvo … missed every shot at 4km … cost us the game

[@luuk341]

This thing is APPALING. Literally the worst T9 BB in the entire game by a mile.

[@stephenwilson0386]

Actually glad these aren't great. This game needs a lot of things to be better, but more 457 overmatch isn't one of them.

[@ponaftes9214]

why are you playing Kongo at T10?

[@sherbetshake4404]

The weird thing for me, and I’m sure people will disagree, but I feel like battleships are almost OP. When I’m playing it can feel like battleships can have such an overwhelming presence in the right scenarios. Subs and cv’s make them worse, way too much free damage. Unfortunately every ship has a safe way to get damage, cruisers spamming over islands, dd’s kiting away launching torps, and bb’s have to sit in the back to avoid getting torched, because if you were taking ap, you could actually angle and push hard and make a better out come, but it’s two cruisers and a gun boat spamming HE and you just turn into a bonfire. I think the balance of this game is in an extremely precarious position. But I think the main issue comes down to map design honestly. There’s a reason you can push harder in ranked, less ships. If the 12v12 maps were more segmented, effectively into 2-3 battle zones, you could push harder on your flank so that you could get to your teammates faster and help them. As for the bungo line, in terms of balance, I don’t think you should be dev striking every cruiser that goes broadside, but they should absolutely be punished for it! Way too many broadside cruisers taking 0 cits, sometimes not even any full pens. Across all bb’s, not just bungo.

[@GeneralCox]

I'll be honest, this is my experience of some of the main line ships. Everyone says how accurate Amagi is, but mine seems to be fitted with Italian guns, can't hit a broadside cruiser at 12km with 10 shells. I feel like the accuracy has got worse as well, or at least less consistent over the course of the last few patches, maybe they;ve broken something in the spaghetti code without realising it?

[@saltyvanilla3304]

I would rather have all these ships with 16" but decent guns than overmatch shotguns, that way at least they would feel fun and rewarding to play But oh well,who knows maybe in 1year (minimum) WG will decide to buff the line lol

[@mikkodoria4778]

This line is weak

Agree. Though if they fix these shell aiming bugs it could be too strong. The vertical dispersion is great and the horizontal is about cruiser size.

This ship makes the Yumihari look good, it has a little less over pens. The Adatara is so disappointing, eats every shell that hits, but either over pens or shatters on the torp protection which is nuts! I'll just get the Bungo and then switch to anything else.

Anf again - IJN can't have nice things😮😢

[@Apollyon-er4ut]

Didn't have a chance to finish the video, but your observations about shell velocity tell the story. Historically , AP shells are ALWAYS heavier, not like the American super heavy, but still heavier. WOWS has followed this model. These ships DO NOT, so they gave up the mass and kinetic energy (which translates to penetration) for speed and range. This is foolish and the very reason the US developed the super heavy AP.

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

To add to this, the Americans foresaw combat ranges extending to distances where being able to penetrate ships' deck armour would be more important, and were less concerned about gun barrel life (heavier shells erode gun barrels further) because radar assisted aiming and the chances of 1 shell dealing so much damage that the enemy became crippled reduced the requirement to throw lots of metal down range. A heavier shell falls with a steeper trajectory as well as maintaining high kinetic energy.

[@opposingcritter]
