One Take: Schlieffen

[@HomieMcBro]

GG PQ, I was the mecklenburg in the second game. Love your videos, watch em every morning at work. Keep it up!

[@MrMrtommy]

Rng gods blessed you there

[@HomieMcBro]

@@MrMrtommy lol they certainly did. After I got the 2nd double fire I noticed the player I was BBQ’ing was PQ… what can I say. I like to watch the world burn

[@newcomerj3095]

This ship is just like the Paolo Emilio for battleships, very feast and famine. When the time is right you reck people, but a lot of time it's pain and suffering.

[@mcbrite]

I have to decide basically right now between Yolo, Ohio and Colbert... I like unique ships, which is why I picked Slava first (most extreme) and I know I SHOULD get Ohio, but Colbert and Yolo look like tons of fun!

[@Swarm509]

Grinding through Prinz Rupprecht to get this ship and I hope it is worth it. Prinz Rupprecht is honestly become one of my favorite ships, and may be my favorite tier 9 ship. I tend to use her for flank/cap control with all the torps, secondary, and decent enough guns and find most games I am either winning or come out of them quite well even if lost. She is great for holding down a position, and I think is under-estimated by enemies, so hopefully this transfers to the Schlieffen.

[@murder0ne]

The PR is actually a very good ship IMO. The Schlieffen is the PR on steroids. You'll like it.

[@jonathanslater5643]

I actually found I had a much better WR on the Prinz Rupprecht than the Schlieffen, probably because the Schlieffen gives you a false sense of confidence and you tend to full send more and die lol

[@Swarm509]

@@jonathanslater5643 When playing other ships I always saw the German battlecruiser players almost always W-Key and rush to their death... the concealment and secondary's seems to make people think they can take on bad odds. I think this really makes a lot of people under-estimate them if they see them, they expect they will play dumb and die. It is a pet peeve of mine seeing players take on bad odds (1v2 or 1v3, or even 1v4) expecting they can just tank all of that dmg or kill them only to die with very little contribution to the match.

[@arizona_anime_fan]

the whole german battlecruiser line is good. my fav outside of Schlieffen is the t7

[@anubhavdassarma7230]

Idk about PC, but in blitz PR is my fav ship, even after getting Schlieffen. AP manual secs, HE auto secs, decent main battery, speed, concealment, torp and hydro. It's amazing what it can do in a brawl but it's squishy af

[@traviscaudle3205]

This ship is a reliable favorite. My go to ship in clan battles. Odd as it may sound if you loiter and shoot in the backfield until you spot the enemy push, your counter push will be legendary. Pirates of the Caribbean type stuff lmao

[@Trains-With-Shane]

It's the same for me when I roll in the Schlieffen, which is often because I love that damn thing. Either I do really average or REALLY well when I can sneak in unspotted. "Shitter" is one of my favorite maps and interestingly I do exactly as you did if i spawn north. Get in close to the cap, watch out for DD's, and then play hide and seek with secondaries blazing. Your team was REALLY strong on that first game, though looking at the team leaderboard. 200k and you were still 3rd? Damn those teammates were strong AF.

[@ryanli5803]

Secondaries get less base XP

[@dzello]

Secondary damage gets reduced experience to hinder boting. This leads to secondary ships getting less experience in general.

[@henryburrows1772]

Shitter!! lmao

[@Trains-With-Shane]

@@henryburrows1772 Yessir. 😎

[@VengerDFW]

I am so unbelieveably average in Schlieffen. I am generally terrible at torps, I never seems to make them count, and since I tend to want to aggressively support my DDs and cruisers at caps, I definitely go out blaze of glory. That second game is CLASSIC me...

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

Ignore the torps unless the enemy is on your doorstep. Don't get greedy and hold your damage control unless you're burning out. Take your main battery shots slowly and methodically, whilst you let the secondaries do their job.

[@watchthe1369]

Oh it is only a Fletcher, He's got a PET Schlieffen!

[@wowsrcnvr7140]

Another great one take, thanks PQ

[@Joze1090]

Is the second ship to die in an aggresive push Calls the game a blow out. Lol PQ we love you, you don't always have to have an excuse. You took a risk and it didn't pan out, no biggie.

[@simeonbradstock4214]

Great content as always, love your channel. By any chance could you do a quick video on your mods you use as really curious. Thanks 🙂

[@marinetech262]

I'm not usually a big commenter, but I wanted to take a minute and suggest a ship for review. Take a look at the Omono. It has SERIOUSLY surprised me. I did the missions for the Japanese light cruiser line with the mindset that "Hey, free ships are free ships." A lot of content creators have been panning the line. Over the last few days though, I started using the Omono to grind the light cruiser rewards going on and have had some VERY good games in it. Getting the concealment Captain skill is a must, but once you've got it, this ship can SLAP. I have been absolutely murder on destroyers that stray too near, the torps are excellent for area denial up narrow passages, and it sets fires like a champ. I generally average 60K to 80K damage in it, but I've had more than my fair share of 100K+ battles, and even managed a 3 kill, 120K damage battle when fully uptiered to tier IX. If you play it right, usually like a weak destroyer, the ship can really produce. Give it a look. It'll surprise you like it did me.

[@Terrathrax]

Agree, been up against Omono in my Helena and it constantly lights those fires; very dangerous.

[@warshipsworldGG]

My favourite BB for ranked battles

[@daflea66]

I live the all-in plays with almost all the ships I have, especially the Schlieffen

[@JC-fz2pv]

When I can make the Schlieffen work its my favorite ship in the game. One of the few ships I actually want one of those typhoons to happen.

[@JC-oj5tz]

I do like this series, keep ‘em coming 😊

[@Skeptic331]

i don't play WOWS (i play Legends) but i always enjoy watching your videos, especially the One Takes! It's nice for me to see ships that aren't in my game be played and wish that they were being added to Legends in the future!

[@danielpayne1597]

Just got this ship, excited to try it. Commander is built for Operations (T6-8 grind) so needless fire prevention over stealth, will need to switch that but otherwise good to go!

[@Bull8magn8]

Noob question but how do you get that fast damage control team? and why are all consumables and equipment different to standard and coal mods?

[@paddington1670]

fast dmg control is part of this ship, Kremlin also has it. Different consumables and equipment, they are ship dependent as well. Oh, are you talking about his blue looking equipment pictures? he's running a mod in aslain's mod manager or WoWs mods to change that. I love Aslain mods, so good, but every time you want to play you need to check his website for newest download.

[@DominickPianoWizardry]

hey, can you make a guide on how to push rank without good teams

[@allyputira3986]

Ive never been this early to one of your videos!

[@BruderRaziel]

If this happens every time you get a good game in this ship I have no doubt you find it inconsistent.

[@mazgazine1]

WOW no one in the comments mentions the STEELE CAMO?!? I didn't know it had such nice reflections.. like the only reason to get it@

[@nicolasyance40]

Does anyone know if WG has plans for a super ship for this line? Perhaps an O-Class battle cruiser with different main guns.

[@mnamnam6061]

The Schlieffen that thougt it's a Cruiser ... that last game really is an example of what NOT to do at all, not that map, not that alone without scout at the very beginning of the game, dude! 🤕

[@Terrathrax]

I'm surprised PQ stopped when he saw premature smoke from Shima. I woulda been whatever, lets try to make to island, and woulda got crushed trying to get there lol. Open water seems bad to Schleiffen.

[@mnamnam6061]

@@Terrathrax Whenever I tried to "walk alone" at the beginning of a match and went to the middle of the map without scout, everybody has one same target, and the ship is too big to hide behind that island. The Schlieffen is powerful and fast, but it's no Kurfürst. You let others come to you, if they wanna feel the Secondaries. And what do you do for the team, standing behind an island, not able to fire your guns, just trying to survive.

[@Joze1090]

[@ioanaroxanauilacan2986]

After my opinion , this ship is good to play with 1 more (same ship) , and 1 destroyer (for smoke ) obviously !

[@wowsrcnvr7140]

Also wanted to ask if you had any vids on the use of various cross hairs?

[@EllieBanks333]

Came here to check out the captain build, but I'm not sure I'm down. PM seems much better than EL. Also not sure if I can give up turrets speed.

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

Yes he has it wrong. First you have to go with PM as you dont need to switch ammo cos you have secondaries. Rest of build is ok. You have to take IFHE for better pen on sec. No need for turrets speed cos one of your back turrets can do 360 turn.

[@veselingramatikov]

I play Shlif and Yoshino the most. Shlif is hard to play and requires patiance and well use of the concelement. 1vs1 or 2vs1 nobodoy can beat Shlif but you need to pick your fights carefully. Rest of the game you hit and go dark.

[@AirwolfGames]

Would you say it’s better to run IFHE or not?

[@lqdxoni1]

i love that ship its so fun

[@mmogeek1]

I wouldn't mind that it's feast or famine if at least they rewarded its damage. Since its mostly secondaries doing work you get almost no credits/free xp even in amazing games...

Play mid/long range at the start of a game, and push in mid to take advantage of your accuracy and good armor and all forward guns. She is a tough ship and can make a lot of plays, but you have to protect her so she isn't focused early on.

How come you never do teir 7, 8 and 9 ships. To be honest I play those the most and have the most fun matches. Also if you are patient and put a lot of cap points in those teirs you can have a nice little advantage over players that don't invest more than 10 points in them

[@gokhanj.yenigun7933]

CVs and Subs every game...you can only Schlieffen in a division, preferably with a DD.

it depends on the team dude, you cant do it alone

[@ShonenTProductions]

Pushes early and dies, Blames Blowout. Nice

[@Swarm509]

He was pretty aggressive, but I hate that side spawn in a BB. All you can do is push the island, or hang back and kite/snipe as you get spotted by everything with no way to cut off sight lines. A lot of players just abandon that flank so at least he tried to hold it.

[@TheL0vecake]

By the looks of it you don't understand, his team was shit, the map for his ships was ship, now do you really want to sit and watch him kite and do the right thing or are we here for some fun vids?

[@joshtheking1772]

Well in his defense though, the Bourgogne and the Moskva left him hung out to dry. With that said, there was no alternative route for escape. No ship is gonna be able to survive a focus fire from 4 ships at the same time.

[@NoName-wi8xz]

Moskva and bourgone didnt even try to hold the ground, just run away, u cant really blame him for that

[@NightWolf5628]

You literally just saw him in the first game push aggressively lmao

[@momchilgradinarov6428]

4:19 he did take 30k salvo.

[@cemborembo]

Maybe it's just me but I think the One Take series in particular could benefit from more focused commentary as it's about you having one chance to do your best with the situation. A bit less like twitch commentary of constant talks and laughs. Us audience could learn a lot from it and that kinda makes it unique. Don't mean to complain, but I feel like I could have watched this on twitch and that's not what I'm here for.

[@TheFuzzypuddle]

Schlieffen/Vampire div when? Nearly permanent crawling smoke and both ships with hydro and torps. never fire your guns.
