This is when you calm down, realize you have3-4 excellent and 10 more pretty good BB's and can WAIT instead of paying $350..............wow

[@Stonecrow99]

Yup..on the bright side I have enough resources in each thing to get a ship, had coal, steel and RB points saved up for this ship...so since its for neither, ohio and a steel-coal ship is mine I guess

[@txgator7299]

I understand there. Ive got 230 ships. The only rare one I don't have is the smaland. I think I have plenty to keep gameplay interesting for the rest of game lifetime.

I think you could've used the HE a bit more. It got buffed massively during testing, both in alpha and fire chance!

[@AnthonyBowman]

Rhode Island Seems like it should be played more like a Puerto Rico or Alaska than a BB.

[@xxxthwagdrakexxx4672]

I mean also considering you had it kitted for AA and got absolutely no value out of it for 3 games because of no carrier i think you can swap that 3 point as skill for Secondary range and use the artillery plotting rooms for a bit more accuracy

[@hp8825]

Sherman player was suprised of radar... I think this is a big point for years that WG dosn't display the stats of ships clearly. The one thing is to getting chrused by an enemy because you didn't know their stats or consumables but the other thing is if you are not able to look them up after. As Dd player main, the most crucial thing you have to know it if your enemy has radar. If you don't know about that and try to play like most Dds are supposed to (cap contesting & spotting) your done. And in most cases the whole flank is done with you. So why WG is it so hard to display a few numbers of a ship which allready exist and is ready for battle in the tech tree. I know it's work in progress, and I don't mind if the stats maybe are 10km radar istead of 9km, but then I know at least I have to keep my distance. I know it has radar. Also I don't get why the stats of long existing premium and special ships are all overthe place. A few you find in the tech tree some in the weapon chamber, some in shop and some you don't find at all. That's so messy and intransperent especially for new players who try to get better in this game and struggle to have an overview at all. Now I know that there is a tech tree mod for at least this but as I started and had played my first 1000 games I didn't know even know there are mods. And you didn't expect to have some legally in a PvP game at all so you don't look for some. Im so disappointed in this mechanic because all it would need would be displaing a few numbers which are allready existing per default for everyone in the tech tree. So you can rely that whatever you are facing in battle you can find the stats there. Small expense for a lot improvement at least for players who want to improve.

[@aristosachaion_]

Well, you can finally find this info during a match when hovering over a ship in the team lineup screen, so.

[@morsanabargor3860]

They wrote in the news article that this BB will be available for direct purchase in later updates (- maybe for coal or steel).

One thing to note, these are florida guns with the same shells, for whatever reason they have really good pen for their caliber

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

It's a flanker... as you mentioned the tier 9 Georgia or the American version of Bourgogne. Yeah it's going to be super powerful in the hands of an above average player but the average whaling potato is going to get deleted really fast. Locking it behind bundles is BS though. Think I will wait until it goes into the armory or is available for doubloons or by any other method besides random bundles.

[@simperorweeb1450]

absolutely love this ship and the gameplay. its really fun

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

how do you get all your balances for coal and steel and RP in the top right of your port bar?

[@kmla2449]

How did you get your research points and captain xp all together. On same tab and steel.

[@onebigfatguy]

Honestly I would go with reload mod. The guns have improved pen angles so increasing the ROF let's you put more damage out even faster and if you catch a DD in the radar using reload mod can give you at least 2 HE salvos to kill him or break the torp tubes. This ship might well be an AP monster in disguise.

[@ianschaufenbuel6982]

That would be an interesting video if nothing else.

[@Chevalerie2cool]

How do you have it where the HUD is bigger and it shows the ranges on the aa guns and secondary guns

[@Valoord]

This is child of Geogria and Florida - same guns from 7 lvl on body of 9 lvl ...And i see - it have similar armor .

[@Cactusjugglertm]

Going with a brisk and AA build on mine if I ever get one ❤

[@MrSniperdude01]

As someone who never got "Mighty Mo", I'm very excited. Cant wait for eventual RB/Coal/ Steel release

[@beaugator]

Got it on the second bundle! Yay!

[@Saw7th]

@Potato Quality I like these Iowo hulls, but do you think the sister ships of the Iowa class like the New Jersey will be added? They might be even T10 with upgrades if the game wills it?

[@davidpotts7116]

NJ was "added" as a perma camo for Iowa in the Azur Lane event. I don't think NJ will ever be added for that reason. Also, Missouri is currently in the game, and Wisconsin was just added to closed testing so she will be released within the year. Missouri is just a limited ship that can only be pulled from supercontainers and santa crates. Wisconsin is likely going to be either a coal or doubloons ship on release

[@calvinhell4006]

Seems like a utility focused BB that mainly serves as a cruiser killer.

[@kooltk4471]

the t7Florida also seem to be like this ship,, gun wise maybe similar in some ways.

[@R3dsixer]

First bundle, could not resist!

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

I like how you compliment players during the match. I once had 7 of 12 kills on my team in my T8 German sub...and all I got from my own team was "fucking sub!", as if I didn't damn near carry the match.

that Minotaur at the end: "best game I ever had" lol

[@oscarkiloecho6269]

Wow. For me I think this ship is the Alaska with speedboost 😂😂

[@BestShifty]

Any news on what the ressource for this thing will be afterwards? I assume it´s coal since its a Bundle ship. Assuming they release it after another decade of waiting.

[@zlpatriot11]

My best guess would be that it'll be for RB or steel.

[@henriqmarques_]

We only have GK for coal and it was a tech tree line ship, so i think it will be available for coal

[@mertc8050]

​@@zlpatriot11nah ohio and slava exists so this thing would be so bad in comparison that they wouldn't put it in rb. probably steel or coal though its a worse georgia after all .....

[@Stonecrow99]

Most likely steel as there's no American BBs, whereas RB has 2 American bbs already and I doubt it will be for coal, too good for that imo

[@SebaX92]

6-7 months from now.

[@Choukai_Chan]

The second I heared "random bundles" I just got turbo sad. Can't they just release ONE god damn ship normally?? Well off to playing something else than.

[@croskerk]

Same, I hate it. I was super interesred and now Im not.

[@Choukai_Chan]

@@croskerk I feel you. I don't know why every single new ship for the last 7 months has be be released in some turbo whale event or in random bundles that cost way too much their worth. Even freemiums like Lauria and its event are a sign of this company loosing their touch with reality.

[@croskerk]

@Choukai_Chan to be fair I havent touched or heard anything of the game until this After what happened with the CC incident I just dropped out of the game. Barely touching it here and there

[@gstormcz]

If both ship's performance and price comes out that as you brought us here, it could be called Just Another Premium Ship Collectors Ed no 2 (I mean right after Kitakami)

[@gstormcz]

Finally US T9 DD Halford in auction not long time ago (30 June 2023) wasn't much cheap and it didn't come out as much worthy ship, it's now (6months later) available for standard sum of coal. (It definitely wasn't standard 19000+ doubs there, I thing WG made that price 19000+++ = rarity+early access exclusivity tax) Wasn't it nice rounded 35000?

[@grand_admiral_behemoth]

I got it 6 crates in (like 60 or 70$) its honestly very good i like it.

Did PQ just not mention it or did I miss it, but I wonder what the choice is on the Radar slot. Spotter? Also curious if the scondaries have improved accuracy.

[@54322g]

Yes the secondaries have improved accuracy, Massa/Schlieffen levels I believe Radar options are fighter/spotter if I’m remembering right from the dev blog

So what I see is a Florida at tier 10. Same inability to do BB things because of the overly weak armour, but relying on positive RNG to make the pain worth it. I can't see myself spending real money to get this. Hopefully it will end up in the coal-ship queue for consideration once all the good ships are in the port. :-) Great videos PQ.

[@berserker4940]

So USA is getting a secondary BB line on the tech tree? Or, is this a premium?

[@EllieBanks333]

Premium

[@AronFigaro]

Yeah I've noticed a lot more lockon blind fire as well. Neither of the required cheat mods are new by any means. Someone from WG made a statement that the full vision hack is patched, but I'll be honest I'm not entirely sure (though it's not required for this kind of spam).

[@brendanbennett6770]

you don't have to cheat to blind fire with lock on

[@AronFigaro]

@@brendanbennett6770 "To get lock on dispersion, a ship must be visible. To manually lock onto a ship, press the X key." Pretty sure you have to cheat to skip that visible part.

[@jfloop77]

Is this a game where you get to play battleships or it's a casino? Lately it seems to resemble the latter way more than the former. Gamble with santa crates, gamble with crates to get this/that.

[@-tr0n]

So it's just a slightly beefier CA plus secondaries. Less ridiculously OP seems fine to me.

[@nlb137]

Secondary mod, even without commander skills for it, is probably mandatory just because it gets your secondaries out to your radar range so if you radar a DD your secondaries will light it up. Mod > skill because with USN BBs not having accuracy mod in slot 3 you lose basically nothing for the mod.

[@michabanasiak2073]

Paper BB for sure

[@jaysonnunley6602]

[@justincase5531]

What is this game

[@TheJuan72]

It looks like a mix between a Georgia and a Florida.

[@vicamu541]

detected by sea 13.3 km radar 9km means DD's(who know its 9km radar) will know your coming before you can radar them

[@miltonzinn8732]

I don’t think the radar is going to remain as powerful once more are seen and people are aware of the 9km radar. After that, you have almost a 2km safety zone to play in as a DD or light cruiser.

[@jackcasse]

Seems like a t10 Florida.

[@cryptogaming9935]

I would still pick Schlieffen over this any time, o c this USN ship will be more tanky though.

[@realhelmi]

7 Pens into the half submerged Gato? Wow. Looks decent (or OP?)

[@danh7411]

AP has splash damage against subs, and they show as penetration, so yea.

CVs and Subs are not enough to punish BBs; you also want higher citadels? 😮

[@Benny_HB]

Isn‘t Rhode Island just a Florida witch radar and speed boost ?

[@vtr0104]

Kind of, yes. But to lure you in, they gave it the better dispersion and the gimmicks. You also get a bit better survivability, the Florida is infamous for being easily explodable at any angle, in spite of its hull resembling that of the North Carolina. There are other differences, obviously: the Georgia hull will do almost 31kts with no Engine Boost, whereas Floria only does 27 or 28, I think. And for self-defence, the Georgia hull is long enough that it fits 5 of the twin 127mm secondary turrets, whereas Florida only fits 3 of those plus 2 of the single-barrel 127s like you find on the Benson or Fletcher (and they just shoot normally like on an NC, not with the improved dispersion of the Georgia or Massachusetts) .

[@justincase5531]

Was watching and only realised after 20 ish minutes this is a t10 not a t9. How would this ship ever compete 1v1 with an Ohio or any other t10 BB. Compare it to an Bourgogne, it has the same gun layout but lower calibre and a similar reload. Bourg. has better armour and speed, and a reload booster instead of a radar which is a switch I would make any day of the week. Just give the ship a little longer reload, maybe 26 sec instead of 23 and remove 1 or 2 heals and move it down a tier. I think that would fit it way better.

[@emirkacan1759]

T10 florida

[@Ineptus_Mechanicus]

It's a Florida with some buffs and gimmicks thrown at it. Shells still take eight years to get to target, still gets overpenned by basically everything (which is, of course, much worse due to the triple uptier), and the dispersion is worse. I think I can pass.
