Nakhimov First Match - World of Warships

[@peterbayne7227]

What a fun, engaging, and well-balanced ship. I'm sure the opposing team had a great time. Now excuse me, I have the sudden urge to shower...

[@zeitgeistx5239]

What do you expect from a company that exists to launder Russian money.

[@arizona_anime_fan]

I was focused by a nakhimov in a desi, in less then 5 minutes i had an AA expert badge, eventually i located the f-er, with him sending wave after wave of full planes after me (remember, i was shooting them down at an alarming rate), i sunk him in 2 full broadsides of desi ap. that was so satisfying, ended up shooting down over 70 planes, never saw a freaking flight of them not full the whole match.

[@peterbayne7227]

@@arizona_anime_fan Awesome. Payback's a b***h!!!

[@harrybrock5529]

Skip bombers and rocket planes are the main weapons of this thing. Fire starting is a large reason why it is so broken, and you can just creep up to an island where no one can hit you and just strike every 30 seconds, while never loosing planes.

[@Seppe1106]

Skipbombers are nice, but the torps are the really busted thing lol

[@Sigrid_Von_Sincluster]

@@Seppe1106 yep, remember he did the 20k torp strike without takeing the cap skill that lets your torp do 10% extra dmg, but i would have to disagree on the "main dmg", BOTH the torps AND skip bommers are this thing main dmg dealers, due to rocket boost you have enf time to use both, alternate them (1 run skip bom, next 1 torp, next 1 skip bom and repeat) and you will never run out of planes even if you are faceing some heavy aa ships

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

I don't understand how people have fun playing this game anymore. This match started, flambass flew a bomber squadron over to the enemy spawn before the ships even had time to start moving, and hit a guy for 11k and a fire. How is that fun to play against, it's somehow worse than all the older CVs

[@juankovacs6033]

8:38 "So far the only thing that didn't seem op are rockets" Me, taking a full salvo of rockets from a Nakhimov and losing 15k hp: "F*ck you".

[@phillewis1749]

Been on the receiving end of Nakhimov rocket planes as an AA cruiser. Even stern in with most missing, 20k is entirely possible; totally broken, totally not fun to play against

[@fukinyouup]

calling bs on this lol, you'd have to eat ~1/3 of the drop for this to happen, looking at the video at 4:16 the mino that isn't even fully bow on is only ~1/5 covered by the reticle, and that's not even counting damage saturation/non-pens/torpedo protection hits in fact I'd happily wager $20 that you would not be able to get a 20k drop with nakhimov rockets on a fully bow on AA-cruiser (i.e. wooster, petro, nevsky, gouden leeuw), not even counting the fact you're almost never going to get a full drop on an AA cruiser at 4:15 you can see the mino doesn't activate priority sector and doesn't have dfaa, if flambass dropped a wooster with AA in that situation he probably would've lost at least 3-4 planes. I'd say max possible damage on a fully bow on cruiser is probably ~10k with freaky rng, but realistically you're trading your entire squadron for 3-4k damage.

[@connorstephens4011]

As much as I like that Flambass has started playing other games, its always fun to see him rage about how broken these newest ships are.

[@samuelrenneke8087]

Guided skip bombs, rockets and torpedoes Even better!

[@lex0266]

these skip bombs are very realistic lol they can some how bounce 4 kilometers in 6 seconds = 2400km/h wich is twice as fast as the terminal velocity of a 1000lb bomb.

[@lex0266]

a plane can only bounce a bomb as fast as its own speed and it would slow down fast after touching the water.

[@77RJ777]

I always found it funny that the skip bombs accelerate past your planes after the drop. So dumb.

[@aAaa-ih3hw]

if they are rotated when being droppedthey can get faster after hitting the water, which is actually how they worked i believe, but you'd still need to spin them ridiculously fast to get this speed.

[@aAaa-ih3hw]

Nevermind, they actually spun it backwards so it would bounce better and only had about one kilometre of range. The germans tried to put a rocket booster on a bouncing bomb though, so I guess that's why they got them first.

[@lex0266]

@@aAaa-ih3hw you are referring to the British dam buster bombs. And they were dropped by heavy bombers.

[@akacurmurdar1]

Knowing WG, I'm surprised they didn't paint a "Z" on it.

[@PterryDactyl88]

7 bombs @ ~54% fire chance, 32 rockets @ ~23% fire chance, its the easiness of conqueror in planes

[@treeherder42]

Yeah the rockets are straight up broken against a lot of BBs and cruisers often hitting for more than a BB salvo can reasonably expect (when dispersion and distance are accounted for). But the thing I hate about these CVs and I have got a nakhimov from grinding the line is they are bad even by standards and promote poor play, they actually reward you for doing things that a regular CV would be punished for. Plus they suck balls in ranked where they take broken to a new level.

[@deadhorse3389]

I predict to see 100% more nakis tomorrow in randoms because of this video

[@Ushio01]

Is that really possible? I play mainly tier 8 DD's and as soon as I get a tier 10 match it's Nakhimov on both teams I haven't seen any other tier 10 carrier except FDR in weeks.

[@njr582]

I gave up on CVs after numerous games in the Tier VI Weser, where it was all but impossible to do any damage. This looks way easier in terms of skill needed and map awareness.

[@siriusczech]

I am really sorry that Flambass didn´t use rockets against that Immelmann. I have only Pobeda, but forcing CVs to retreat from you after they eat a 15k volley (in average) of those rockets to broadside, setting fires in proces, on a ship with no healing available is just stupidly fun. And yeah, I tried getting XP on Pobeda in ranked, still Jutland is more consistent there

[@lasouris1993]

That reaction when Flambino got 3 perma fire... X)

[@Volkaer]

Skip bombers are the final nail in the coffin of why nobody should ever give WoWS any money. You now have planes who can do massive damage + fire while flying and attacking outside of AA range.

[@menacingcoyote9346]

Meanwhile on legends, Pobeda as the tier 7 has 6 plane strikes. But only 2000 total health and 12 plane deck sizes with just torpedo and skip bombers. Shows how differently CVs are balanced on the console version

[@odubnumero9649]

Yeah but AA is seemingly less strong on console. Plus there is no priority sector and only cruisers can equip defensive AA. I rly want to put it on my AA spec kid but I can’t. Kinda ruins it for some ships

[@menacingcoyote9346]

@@odubnumero9649 I’d love to have dfaa more destroyers, but for the most part CVs are pretty well balanced. Even without it, AA can still be exceptional, kidd and even akatsuki can do really good damage to CVs. I once played an AA build on an akat and did over 100k damage as well as shoot down 25 planes They don’t have rockets at all so not only is that a damage type gone but it’s an entire squadron type you cannot cycle, effectively giving CVs 12-15 less planes on the deck to start with. AA in general might be weaker, but plane health is also weaker to make up for that. In legends the most HP planes have is about 5500 and that’s at a full strength squadron, but some ships absolutely devastate even those squadron. It’s only really tier 5 where CVs are truly strong as the AA there is limited, but at top tier it’s pretty tame.

The console version has been out for almost 3 years already and we already have Russian CV's. We got Russian CV's faster than we got the Italian BB line(We can just now research them bc they put new tech tree lines into early access and can only obtain them from crates or when the next update drops) and we got the Italian line close to two years ago. The console version is honestly no better than PC except for the fact we only get 7 tiers + Legendary. Nakhimov is Pobeda for console...just without rocket planes(Which I can honestly see us getting). Community has been asking for SAP....They give us SAP secondaries that have a base range of 4-8km. We got Italian BB's with no free dispersion commander. The only dispersion commander we got is a premium one - AL Littorio.

[@RTMassacre09]

While the console version has its own set of problems, CVs on console are definitely less powerful than their pc counterparts(at least up until this point). Then again, games tend to last 5-7 minutes on console these days, so that could be part of the reason why they don't feel as powerful. lol

I cannot for the life of me understand what would motivate ANYONE to play a CV. It's SO boring and you're hardly even involved with the game. You're just kind of doing your own thing, being a pest to the enemy. It's just dumb, and the fact you yourself are never threatened unless your team collapses makes it even more boring.

[@treeherder42]

Two reasons. One - the understandable one, to learn how to play them and what they don't do well, so you can put your ship into those "don't do well" situations but that's about all you can do because they will hit you anyway. Two - the bad reason, because they want to win without effort. Getting a high w/r in a CV is far easier than any other class as long as you have the most basic of skills which amounts to look "at the map, don't fly directly into flak or fighters". Edit - reason one from good to understandable, there is no good reason to play CV except maybe 899 sniping but that's also kinda trolling because its just forcing one team to face a CV.

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

@@treeherder42 The first reason I understand, I would love to know how to protect myself (even) better from sky cancer, to know all the strengths and weaknesses of each CV but not enough to actually go play them 😂 The second one, you may be right but that's just too sad.
