[@legiran9564]

The real reason for the wonky 3rd turret position. After analyzing data from the damages that British ships suffered during WW1 the British admiralty had the concern of when a British ship charged the enemy (like the 3 battlecruisers that blew up at Jutland) that enemy shells entering the smokestack opening in the citadel might ricochet their way in the magazine of the 3rd turret. So to mitigate that threat the RN designers swapped the positions of the boiler and engine rooms and the rear turret. Hence the ugly profile of the ship. No thoughts at all was given in the event these ships were ambushed from behind or the fact the ships had to do a tactical retreat..

Watching the first torp launch like that was cartoonish 😂

Spartan: "But it just seems like people around me do stupid crap." Flamu: "First time?"

[@launcesmechanist9578]

5:59 Speed of 98.8 Knots? Must have hyper jets on that thing. Or a Cuisinart. Bit of a goof but it's funny. 🤣

[@SpartanElite43]

😄 oops

[@jonathanlonsdale3404]

Was just looking for this comment, even paused the video 😊

[@ivardewit]

OMG you got it! congrats! (thnx for keeping your promises)

[@SpartanElite43]

I try

[@phoenixsix1116]

Love the Duncan. I run Cunningham with a range/fire build and currently have the xp record with that. But AP slaps soooo good too

[@landshark_8024]

That camo is perfect if you’re trying to disguise your ship as a floating pile of whale ass-ham

[@SpartanElite43]

Has anyone ever shot a floating pile of whale ass ham? I figure if I make it extremely hideous then Noone would want to look at it long enough to shoot

[@jeffreymiddleton8263]

Looks like a fun ship to play I will have to pick the Duncan up and the torps doing the spaghetti noodly thing looks funny haha

[@SpartanElite43]

😄

[@CaptainKnorr787]

98.8 knots?!?! That's a fast BB. Also amazing video as usual Admiral. Glad to servs in your fleet

[@CaptainKnorr787]

Lol I know it's 28.8 but spartan saying 98.8 is hilarious

[@SpartanElite43]

😄 yeah big oops

[@thebiggerb4915]

Duncan is based off the G3 Battlecruiser Project. She would of been armed with 9 3x3 16" guns and would of reached a top speed of 32 knots and would of used the US style all or nothing armour scheme. 4 were ordered by the Washington Naval Treaty put an end to them being built, the design would be revised and become the Nelson-Class Battleship.

[@youdouche6805]

Well you’re just full of of shit

[@josephhungerford8348]

Awesome editing of the video n thank you for the great content .

[@SpartanElite43]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thebobbins1735]

Really like this ship. Its actually what the Royal Navy would have built, if not for the Washington naval treaty. The Nelson is essentially a drastically cut-down version of this thing

[@De_Elite011]

I own nelson w and it dev struck a Bismarck with one shot

[@anthonidanieltorres8632]

I love what you do, keep making these

[@SpartanElite43]

Glad you enjoy and will do

[@BCristian16]

Hello Spartan, have you tried John Fisher on these battlecruiser line? If yes what are your thoughts 🤔?

[@tmseh]

50k subs approaching Captain!

[@SpartanElite43]

So close!

[@DOBBYKP1]

Well played spartan I've been enjoying this boat it's fun to play again well played spartan 😎🏆

[@lillpete64]

If you're going to shoot the AP primarily you should use Fisher

[@death-star1361]

I can't wait and for St. Vincent to get in the game😃

[@adamhoughtling7310]

Awesome vid again Spartan. Makes me want to play the British battle cruisers. Thanks destroying my Ohio last night in your yami as I was forced to make an unfortunate turn. I was praying you didn’t see me but the shells were already coming.

[@SpartanElite43]

😄 I had a rough night last night too

I served on A real HMS Duncan F80. 1300 tons a/s Frigate. Main armament 2 40mm Bofers and 6 a/s mortars. She would roll an a mill pond

[@dinohunter8676]

Saying “lift the skirt” sounds so wrong lol 😂

[@SpartanElite43]

Well.. I mean its basically what you're doing... you are enticing the enemy to look at a Possibly huge hit and then taking it away at the last moment by angling before they hit you.

[@TheTreeMann]

Nice job it’s a hard ship to grind for

[@clumsyyme389]

98.8 kts would be crazy 😂 good vid Spartan!

[@SpartanElite43]

😄

[@WarhammerWings]

So Duncan is NASTY with a capital N. Those torpedoes were designed before the Long Lances.

[@arrondixon7817]

The brisbane is the Omaha of legendary you can have good games but it’ll let u know real quick if u don’t do the right thing

[@thegoodlife3931]

It's a giant Cruiser with big guns essentially

[@rodent88]

I've never seen a member's only video before 😂

[@moaningjeckyl676]

Grinding for this atm, been enjoying the British battle cruisers

[@GlaXwOrmy639]

Luv them British boys

[@thegoodlife3931]

Enjoyed that game.

[@labaguettetra1854]

Very nice game Spartan! The only thing Duncan is bad at is the fact that it is literally the ugliest ship ever made. And now I can’t wait for St. Vincent with 60%+ fire chance, something like 40kts speed with engine boost, and a whole bunch of other dumb stuff

[@stickmastercaleb3251]

Spartan! I just recently saw the Fathership in supertest 🤫😉 Very hush hush

Huh?

What the heck is with those torps?

[@lillpete64]

Mabey try running hood for added speed seeings how speed is a thing with the dunkin

[@RoFKillaBacon]

Rushed one in a Georgia and he was one of the last players basically already dead Right before I got the last salvo in he dropped one torpedo and I didn't even attempt to avoid it bc I'm think ah it's just one torpedo Boy oh boy was I glad I had like 50k left

[@SpartanElite43]

Hahaha yeah those torps are absolutely disgusting

[@gmantitan1695]

Let’s just refer to this ship as the “Duncan Donuts”

I actually almost put a DD logo in the thumbnail

How come you didn't use jhon Fisher on her as her commander

How is that short fuse Ap with those citadels?

Omg thank you for telling us how to upgrade fourth slot😭

Happy to help!

Como defençora de deixar o navil mais original possivel. Q porra de camuflagem é essa Spartan!

[@SpartanElite43]

😄 it's the Halloween camouflage

[@Raptor003-66]

John fisher main gun and speed build is better. Especially with the legendary perk for the engine boost and better heal.

[@heyitsjameskee]

Hello Spartan. Is Maine still worth it? Finally have enough silver to get it thanks to the Santa crate.

[@SpartanElite43]

It's decent maybe I'll do a new video in it soon

Hahahah!

[@simpinainteasy1916]

Believe it or not, but Duncan's HE is underutilized, which makes zero sense at all. Considering Duncan enjoys 70 mm of pen from its HE and has a 47% fire chance. Yes, the AP is alright, but that HE is on a level with Conqueror's HE. Try using it more often. You won't be let down.

[@GaryJones69420]

Ever tried Jackie Fisher? Hes way better.

[@vakten8323]

A like and comment. 😉

[@imthestighonest3437]

I know it slows the turret rotation but doesn’t big seven work with the Duncan?

[@SpartanElite43]

It reduces penetration and I shoot a lot of AP

[@imthestighonest3437]

@@SpartanElite43 there is that, but like all perks for battleships its a trade you lose speed with gyrating drill bits which was a battle cruisers defense people underestimate the lead 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mantasvasiliauskas9606]

i think is a teribul ship for a british ships

[@SpartanElite43]

I disagree
