You can see nicely that the Kremlin is a fantasy ship. Sitting that low on the water would be very bad on any sea condition other than totally calm. Basically everything after the front turrets would be completely under water and washed/splashed by the sea. Open gun mounts would not be usable as people would not be able to stand the water splashes. Compare that to the Yamato which was designed for actual sea conditions from calm to very rough.

[@jasonoshea7947]

Your'e drinking the Kool-Aid again Flamu, it's obvious to everyone this ship is in dire need of a buff.

[@SWIFTY_WINS]

I just unlocked my Kremlin today and have only experienced 4 battles in her so far so maybe I'm just not familiar enough with her yet, but right off the bat her handling felt alien and like trash to me. Keep in mind I also own the Yamato, Republique, Grober Kurfurst, and Montana so I am very familiar with how the other top tier BBs handle and feel as far as acceleration, deceleration, etc. I can't quite put my finger on it yet with Kremlin but I immediately noticed how long it seems to take her to slow down and coast to a full stop from full speed. Then I began to notice that during full speed 180 turns the ship seemed to be presenting broadside for a longer time than usual at exactly the most nerve racking moments of the turn where you're giving flat broadside to any ships that were just directly in front of you. To me it feels like WG might have programmed in this extra little hang time section of what normally should be a perfectly smooth and even turning circle probably for balancing reasons. If you have a Kremlin and haven't noticed this yet pay attention the next time you're nose in and then need to execute a full speed hard rudder 180 turn to start kiting away and falling back. If you're being shot at during this turn pay attention during the most vulnerable moment of the turn where you've just turned the first 90 degrees and are presenting perfect broadside to any enemies who were directly in front of your ship prior to beginning the 180 turn. Maybe I'm imagining things, but at this most vulnerable point during the turn the ship seems to just hang there almost coasting straight for a bit instead of continuing the smooth turn just for a few added brief moments before the ship finally starts turning enough again to begin angling away from presenting broadside to the enemy. Every other ship I've played in this game so far handles exactly as you'd expect a ship to turn after pinning the rudder to one side, and that is that the ship will execute a smooth continuous half circle turn the whole time turning at the same exact rate during any given point in time during the turn. With Kremlin I swear she turns more like a U with a small flat section at the bottom rather than a smooth normal sweeping turn.. There's got to be a way to actually test this in game somehow maybe with some time lapse aerial view replay footage of the Kremlin during a full speed 180 turn, but I definitely felt like I was noticing this strange added hang time while presenting flat broadside exactly halfway through pulling a full throttle 180 turn. I'm really curious to hear if any other Kremlin captains have experienced this strange feeling I'm talking about here that the ship is somehow presenting broadside just a bit longer than it feels you do normally during 180 turns in basically any other tier 10 BB. Like I said during the opening of my comment here, I did just unlock her today and only have 4 or so games in her so far so maybe I'm just tripping here, but from the very first match I felt like something was just off somehow and abnormal about her sluggish throttle response and turning capabilities compared to Yammi, Kurfurst, really any other tier X battleship.

[@TheNiceDice]

I call hidden changes: Since the last patch ive got like 80% more disabled and destroyed turrets on EVERY ship iam driving right now.

Ill stick with my bourgogne for ranked. The speed boosts are adding up to make it a 44 knot ship the heals work for it too.

As for damage flamu in the last 2 days I had a 416k game and a 407k game the rest were all mid 200s. It is the wrath of god in this mode.

So to summarize Best armor - Kremlin Best pen at >14km range : Kremlin Best torpedo belt : Kremlin Best turret traverse : Kremlin Ruddershift + Concealment awesome as well. Russian balance at it's finest.

[@yourmamom]

Perfectly balanced as all things should be. Especially with the legendary commander that auto-heals below 10% hp which means you will never be on the cusp of death because of the armor scheme making 10k volleys almost impossible. The only real threat is Conqueror and maybe Thunderer telling Kremlin's armor to stop existing. I say "maybe" Thunderer because they are both the same squishy ship but at least Conqueror 3D prints itself a new HP bar. IFHE should also improve SAP ammo, but we'll end up in a very artificial situation where you need to take a perk to counter one specific enemy that rightfully shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Like needing IFHE on the old Jutland/Daring in order to even fight other DDs.

28:19 lol a survivable expert Kremlin, so more than one hundred HP still not enough (sigh)

[@Radbug11]

Imagine how short pee peee must creator of Kremlin has to insert it to the game... Typical WG "soviet machine". The best in everything important "but hey it have medicore AA, so its balanced, right?" Disgusting. Thats why that many players quit.

[@Bud_Brigman]

AA isnt medicore, it's actually better than a lot of the competition. Only the health of the aa mounts got nerfed. Paper ships are great, you don't have to consider any of the limitations of say what your ship yards could actually build or what was technically or physically possible at the time.

[@chanlamkha5766]

if you are playing CV, do you really want to focus all your plane on Kremlin?

[@Bud_Brigman]

@@chanlamkha5766 you'd have more chance sinking it by ramming the thing :P

[@ME262MKI]

How short?, by watching how they ruined WOT and that wasnt enought for WG so they decided to start ruining WOWS, so it must be microscopic..., atomic size

[@Thereison]

Wargaming (probably): "Yea, but...uh...it doesn't have torpedos! #balans. Also, our spreadsheets tell us that this ship is totally fine." Also Wargaming: "We totally value community feedback"

[@chimpboy12345]

With the montana breaking your turret, I think it shot through the hull and into the turret "citadel". I've lost turrets in BBs to carrier dropped torpedoes. It doesn't have to be a shell penetrating the actual above deck turret, even though it makes very little sense.

[@Nurg1982]

unfortunately not everyone is as battle intuitive like you Flamu, had a kremlin player in my team happily sailing the side of the map watching his team mates die in the middle because he wanted to shoot the CV (which was last seen at the starting position) so he was sailing to that direction from the side. I was so pissed, we could've held the cap if only he helped us out mid battle. my thunderer doesn't have enough armor to tank in the middle, but I basically had the same strat as you. use BBs to hold the cap, and let the little ones hunt

[@nobodysseus2905]

0:55 In real life, that Kremlin would've capsized that destroyer. **eye twitch** My immersion is ruined.

[@gtifighter]

7:42 Well it makes sense if you consider the small superstructure and the fact that the Kremlin sits so low in the water...

[@mmilrl5768]

i started this game about a year ago and just kind of played one or two games a month. i just recently started playing more and found out that the tree that i have been climbing (USSR) has some of the best ships. i'm currently on the tier 8 Battleship.

[@UnexpectedInquisition]

I believe my tankiest game, I tanked over 5mil in a Bismark, in an uptiered X match. Was a while back; over a year. Did not do monster damage however, and was still one of the first half of the team to die, but held a flank for half the game essentially alone.

[@kurumi394]

Fun fact: The Kremlin is named Kremlin because the superstructure *is* the Kremlin in Moscow. The original ship was mediocre; however the ghosts of Lenin and Stalin buffed every single aspect of this ship to god tier.

[@FreeCrimeaNow]

I came around the corner with my Alabama the other day and ran into a broadside of the Kremlin. While I eventually ended up with Davy Jones, it was an exhilarating pounding that I haven't taken since I stuck up for a pretty girl in 4th-grade schoolyard in 1969 Brooklyn. Gotta get me this ship one day.

[@beherith2874]

16:18 Thats the first time i see a Kremlins main Gun get knocked out... Almost like playing other BBs is kinda pointless... thx for the video sir.

[@tommeakin1732]

Do you know what's funny? These guns probably would have had such bad barrel life that a single wows battle would degrade performance to the point where they'd need to replace the barrels lol Here me out, but irl barrel life was a big deal in gun design, and it's typically the case that guns with better initial performance have worse barrel life, but in game there's obviously no mechanic to reflect barrel wear so guns designed to have good barrel life are getting shafted here. Does anyone else think it might be interesting if all guns in game very gradually degraded in their performance the more shots they fired? But the bigger the gun, the more pronounced the effect was - and also ships with worse irl barrel life were hit more by this effect? This could be really interesting as it'd make certain ships better in the early game, and others better in the later game, and it'd overall make BB's less effective in comparison with other ships towards the end of the battle

[@eriknelson97]

Waiting for Soviet Cvs. Gonna be jets with lazer guided bombs. And they balance it by making the CV AA and secondary have 20% less health.

[@tjasjelen3882]

Where did you got those nice waves that you produce with a ship after sailing

[@goasgschaugustl5847]

Yamato had a specially designed underwater nose which enabled it to do 27 knots and was revolutionary at that time. You would think that the ship with by far more armor, 9 18 inch guns as well, lying very deep in the water would be slower. But no because of glorious soviet hydrodynamics and engine power it is even two and a half knots faster than Yamato and has way better rudder shift. Because that is just logical!

[@173muppet]

@Flamu it has been an entire year since we've got a Kremlin upload! Crazy how hard it's fallen out of popularity.

[@IaSaVedem]

Even at this best armored ship in the game, if you aim somewhere above the turrets you can hit the comand located in between the turrets, that's the most difficult thing to achieve in this game. When the ship is bow in against you it's the hardest to hit that part, as turrets are very good armored. On broadside semi broadside long ranges again try to aim somewhere above turrets line and you'll get awesome results with ap or he.

[@KaijuAlert]

Bu-but Russian bias isn't real! Kremlin: *exists*

[@shreygarg1224]

By the same logic, American Bias exists as Ohio exists, as it’s the BB with the best WR in NA in the last 5 months.

[@youhyunnam9426]

@@shreygarg1224 also, the entire soviet BB line is kinda broken unlike the US BB line

[@shreygarg1224]

youhyun nam >calling the Vladivostok and Soyuz OP. This is your brain on Russian Bias.

[@youhyunnam9426]

@@shreygarg1224 look at the NA numbers on the vladivostok and soyuz. They have the best winrate among tech tree BBs in every player group be it the entire playerbase, the top 50%, or the top 5%. I'd say that's pretty good proof that the soviet BB line is the best BB tech tree.

[@shreygarg1224]

youhyun nam yeah stop using WoWs numbers to back up your data. It suffers heavily from sample bias. Newer ships = less games played = average higher stats due to lack of sample size. French BB’s occupied the exact same spots a year ago. It’s better to use isolated timeframes coming from data collected from the game client. Pretty sure there’s a tutorial on the forums somewhere on how to get the mod to get access to it, granted you know how to use a bit of console commands.

[@steeltrap3800]

As an aside, in terms of "how high the ship sits out of the water", the usual naval term would be "freeboard". Not that it matters, just thought you might like to know. Cheers

[@AceDan-gc9po]

IRL this ship would be a sub no where near enough free board to be see worthy

[@DanielB-ii4up]

Yeah, did something like that to other teams in ranked too. Ships that are OP before get even more OP with all the buffs. A Kremlin with 26 seconds reload...and everybody starts REEEEEing. You get away with stupid broadsides thanks to the armor layout. And then the shells...you fire at fully angled Stalingrads at 15 km and blap him for 10-12k damage. Just insane.

[@repaleonhalo9754]

I had a disconnected Kremlin at 11km broadsided.. I tickled him in 3 salvos from my Montana.. That was last ranked, but Thunderer, Republic also have a tendensy to angle 1 degree to bounce

[@weikiattan1772]

As a kremlin player i lost my 2nd turret to a montana before cause he aim for the barbettes and keep aiming until he destroyed it but it did not matter cause my team is winning. To be fair the AA is easier to destroy with constant HE spam but then again no cv would attack you first cause your AA is same or better than montana. I never really care any cruisers at all. I just steamroll them anyway Lastly this ship is just a soviet yamato but better in everything. The 3mm difference from 457 and 460 just got transfered to the central deck

[@franciscoreveriano2524]

Wargaming has where they want you. Promoting Russian propaganda of a glorious empire!

[@427Arbok]

You would think that, being as the Russian BBs are supposed to be agressive, close-ranged fighters that their shell velocity would suck and their range wouldn't be that good, maybe even give them a taste of German dispersion.... but, of course, then there would be Russian ships with actual weaknesses, and WG would never allow that.

[@wombatturd]

I quit the game but still enjoy your vids. Glad you're still enjoying the game and making good content.

Does Kutseysov (sorry if I butchered that) proc in rankes armsrace? I thought no special Captain skill procced in ranked?

[@thelvadam2884]

they only dont work in training and clan wars

[@jeffbergstrom]

FWIW the distance from the waterline to the deck on a boat/ship is called the "freeboard".

[@MrPuschel]

Watching the whole video and after giving it some thought, i have to say i wholeheartedly agree with you. They should nerf Kremlins AA.

[@KGAnims]

Most Kremlins in ranked play it as a GK, they try to push very close and almost brawl, which gets them killed. If someone plays Kremlin like Flamu does here, he will be a major pain in ass.

[@christianjanker9007]

SIGNIFICANTLY

[@ryanyz10]

Everytime I've played Kremlin I've ended up against a Conquerer or Thunderer which counters Kremlin quite well

[@jayvee8502]

When Flamu said Kremlin is a Monster in ranked sprint, I laughed so much because potato players drive their Kremlins straight to the enemy thinking thier monster ship won't get hurt then they die. Lols.😆😆
