Push Yourself in World of Warships Blitz - Ranking Grinds

[@Slai47]

Hakuryu is missing on this. I had it in my notes and still missed it. Surprised right? No, yeah me neither 😂. But Hakuryu would go in hard. You have a lot of planes, weak ones at that, lots of groups and an insane firepower. Don't go up this first. It's a hard line to play.

[@stephenthanks7780]

Hakuryu is incredibly powerful and consistent if you know how to hit with your TB, your relying on your skill vs midway half the power is in the bombs. The Hakuryu bombs if they hit they hit it’s just like yeah just a little more damage not even 1/6 of your damage power. I have managed to nuke a hayate (hopefully I spelled that right) in like around 50 seconds got all torps hitting and the bombs came threw with enough damage to finish it off, my average damage is 87k and 54% mvp. Also pro tip since you have 2 fighter squadrons the enemies fighters can only lock on 1 so if their are not team around to help after you bait just have one run away while the other hammers it from behind, and then when enough health has been taken off you can engage both. Imo the Hakuryu is better than midway for 2 reason it requires more skill so in my opinion that’s better than lock and forget, but bombs have some chance to them I understand they drop in a certain way but even sill it’s a struggle sometimes it’s random, your torpedos can always hit though as long as you don’t get juked out

[@Musik2Huhn]

@@stephenthanks7780 totally agree

[@stephenthanks7780]

just nuked a Z52 at 6:08 in time and 20,889 damage, bombs came threw again

Really appreciate the amount of work you put into these kinds of videos! I can really only comment on the lines where I played the T10 a fair amount: Hindenburg line: The 1st line I grinded some years back, and honestly, back then it felt quite powerful. I have especially good memories of the Hipper, because she is the first ship where you get this 203mm heavy AP. Hipper is probably still good today, aside from the somewhat limited damage output. Shimakaze line: Honestly, I wouldn't do it again. For me, torp focused DDs are somewhat boring, I prefer the gunboats. But if your ok with it, then the line certainly has damage potential. Nevsky line: It certainly teaches you a lot, but it can be frustrating because of your trash armour and handling. Somewhat limited to the long-range role. But this role, they fill perfectly. Conqueror line: Recommendable. Basically average BBs with the benefit of having really spicy HE which is a grave menace for DDs. Don't sure how much they teach you, something like Yamato or Vermont will probably be more rewarding if you are a good shot. But they are somewhat forgiving due to the ability to handle DDs. Grozovoi line: the line is very good, but the T10 isn't. So yeah ... Z52 line: very good line imo, and also very forgiving. You can handle basically every other DD, which gives you considerable freedom. Fast torp reload means missing is less of an issue. Also teaches you the power of low-caliber AP Minotaur line: Honestly, many people will disagree with me here. Minotaur is a complete blast, and I have excellent stats in her. Really think that this is the one ship in the game that suits me like a glove. But boy, that grind is annoying. I grinded her 2 years ago, and I'm doing it again right now, currently at Neptune. The basic problem is that below T9, you don't really have this terrifying torpedo armament, and your AP is not that effective against BBs. At the moment, the EU server is full of BBs, and the T7 and T8 don't deal with them very well. If you have 3 or 4 BBs on the enemy team every game, you will struggle because your freedom of movement is so limited. But at T9, things improve, because you finally have 16 torps and 12 shells every 5,5 seconds. But most importantly, I feel like Minotaur and Neptune AP is more lethal than that of the other cruisers, and you can inflict a lot of damage to battleships. Don't get me wrong, if the meta was geared towards lightly armored ships, this line would be great, but it currently is in a rough spot.

[@Slai47]

Hindenburg line has aged poorly. Minotaur is a blast. I don't know many people who hate it. And those at do, well the ship isn't for them. Nevsky armor and ok, I agree they are mostly long range cruisers..

[@pigbay]

Honestly I would say Vermont is a better grind for a new player. That line will stop newer players from pushing in and yoloing due to their lower speed

[@Failure_Engineering]

not really, poor manuveurability combined with poor positioning and coward mentality, they just become useless for the team.

[@rmac7072]

Absolutely great video, super useful information!

[@Algaean]

Zerstorer life, baby :) shameless bully of the seas!

[@alexd1839]

This is a very cool way to look at the game. My first line was the Minotaur and I probably learned 75% of my wowsb skills during that grind. The AP only and unforgiving nature of the line makes it probably the best line for becoming a better player imo.

[@Slai47]

You choose a tough one off the bat. But it probably made so many other grinds easy in comparison. At least the Mino line is a blast once you get the hang of it.

[@xuanyuemao5791]

Very nice explanation for grinds ranking. I'm recently grinding for Minotaur and feel it's very hard to play the supporting role in game even for me a very experienced cruiser player, I would not recommend anyone to grind the line unless they got team to play with + several cruiser lines experience.

[@Failure_Engineering]

Nice video slai. btw for des moines, people complaining her poor range, but if her range get buffed, she's gonna be absolutely broken. unbeatable in dogfight truly dominate it

[@Slai47]

I believe she needs to be made more tanky myself

@@Slai47 yeah, but i think all cruiser in tier x needs some sort of wooster magical armor

[@JRowan]

US dds we’re my first full grind. Got me off to a great start.

[@stevenmoore4612]

I’ve pushed myself to grind to tier 10 with one ship from each class just because it takes too much time and resources for a busy guy like me. For battleships I chose the Yamato, for aircraft carriers I chose the Midway, for destroyers I chose the Gearing, and as for my favorite class the cruisers I chose the legendary Des Moines! At this point I’ve already reached tier 10 with all four classes so I’m pretty much done with grinding.

[@wheels-n-tires1846]

Cool concept for a vid...i think itll be hugely helpful for newbs, and a reason for regret with veteran players LOL

[@tuggspeedman5977]

Hi Slai, appreciate your videos. Can you make a video about every nation's BB line, explaining the strenght and weaknesses and rate them by their gun handling, armor, manouvrability and general playstyle? For a new player is kinda hard to tell the difference between all those battleships

[@Slai47]

I'll write that down. I'm not a BB main but I could try to. If not I'll respond here for you

[@longkalafastcall1274]

Alsace after the buff in 5.2 can be devastating due the RR2,in normal case 24 shell per RR2 charges,below 25% 36 shell per RR2 charges

[@ijnmusashi8742]

[@kentlindal5422]

I wouldn't really suggest focusing a line. Don't play anything you don't enjoy but also realize when you have reached you current skill roof. Maybe you need to stop at 7 or 8 for a while to let your play catch up with the ships, for example.

[@Musik2Huhn]

Does someone here already tested hakuryus legendary module( haku and midway got a legendary module)? Is it worth it? How bad are the -5% health on the torp planes?

[@Redgamingdino4005]

I can’t disagree with much here. The yueyang grind is not for everybody and the daring line is only enjoyable once you have mastered dds.

[@pigbay]

Best DD grind I've had so far is the z52 line

[@stephenthanks7780]

The Daring was the first grind I finished I actually finished it and the Hakuryu at the same time but only had money for one, and the main reason I went down it was because I saw others using single shooting torpedos and I was like that’s really cool I have to have that, it wasn’t to bad in my opinion the lighting was slightly hard, but their only weakness imo is bad torpedo angles and speed, the Halland was my second dd grind it’s torps are so weak that when I’ve done sneak attacks on other dds it takes all 10 to kill them, but with such good flooding you can rely on 1 torpedo to hit to do flooding often, I’ve even got a triple flood before, and if you stay at range from battle ships it won’t be hard to beat them with such high flood and fire chance, also Daring and Halland have real easy battle honours doesn’t take long at all to get them done, im not disagreeing that they can be rough to a beginner though, but I do consider myself as a natural gamer and to be able to pick up on a game in like 3-4 weeks and be an average player in that time and get far better as I go on, so maybe that’s why it’s not so bad for me

The UK CV line after the nerf,the TB torpedo speed is slower than the Alternative line German DD line Torps(50.02kts)

[@seasnutz9741]

All cv torps should be slower than any torps by any surface ship.

Where is hakuryu? Only line not in here? Btw its Harugumo and not Haragumo

I just looked at my notes... Hakuryu is in hard. I forgot to add her to the page. I'm sorry

In short the Conqueror grind,can be played as a SHC,just you need to achieve to enemy team ignore you and flank like a French Cruiser for example HIV

No, they can play like regular BBs but you just can't sit still. You need to keep turning and moving. Using your superior mobility
