Meet The Wichita! Tier 7 American Cruiser (World of Warships Legends Xbox One X) 4k

[@SpartanElite43]

Gameplay starts at 6:46 Also Wichita does not have Super Heavy AP like Balti which is why AP isn't quite as good as Balti confirmed by WG

[@ethanshortell3902]

Hey spartan, one good tip for playing cruisers if you have to fight enemy cruisers or battleships at range. Angle away from them and drop to half throttle, then when they fire, hit full stop and turn either into the shells or away from them, doesn't matter. They almost always miss that way, then once they miss go back to half throttle, rinse and repeat. I managed to get a kraken in the Omaha with this strategy and have come close in other cruisers : )

[@SpartanElite43]

Good point

[@RD1R]

Bb main here, cruisers with good speed control are harder to hit than speedy DD's. I... I mean... No no this sucks do not do this you'll be an ez kill.

[@chaosacsend9653]

@@SpartanElite43 hope you like the Helena got her with one crate buy with extra doubloons. played one game before work and got a kraken

[@none3763]

Thanks for getting this out so quickly. HE damage is average, it's the number of hits which is impressive.. German AP tears these light cruisers apart. Now is a good time to grind the Yorck, it's 210mm AP is very effective.

[@SpartanElite43]

Wichita is not a light cruiser and the AP from anything less than 16 inches is easy enough to bounce with exception to the vanguard who was putting in some good hits early. You're right about the HE damage it is all about hits and the fact that they are not shattering. Hitting entire salvos of shots with very few misses makes for some nasty salvos. The AP is a little worse than Balti but honestly it doesn't matter when you are actually using AP you generally able to citadel Cruisers still and then just use the HE on BBs and DDs My issue with the Yorck was that it has such a stupid firing Arch it takes forever to hit a ship and cruisers can literally just dodge. And the fire rate of this thing reloading in 8.8 seconds is disgusting

[@RD1R]

German cruiser AP is predictable and slow enough at range it's really not a bigger threat than any other cruiser line. Yeah, play enough and you'll eventually get cit paddled by a Yorck, but it doesn't seem any more deadly than the top 2 Japanese cruisers, the Baltimore, Hipper. The real cruiser vs cruiser kings feel like the British. And I'm sure the Alaska will be a terror once people finally start having it.

[@MrBillUp]

I was having a meltdown over what to buy with my 70% off voucher. It was a toss up between the Plymouth and the Wichita. I love my Edinburgh but went with the Wichita. I had buyers remorse straight after, thinking OMG why didn't I go with the Plymouth. Your video has reinforced my choice. I'm pleased I went with the Wichita now. Just need to learn how to throw down some hurt in it. 👍😊

[@SpartanElite43]

I'd argue Plymouth is better but Wichita still a solid choice

I was very interested to hear your opinion on this ship... I'm glad to hear she meets your seal of approval. Thanks for another great video. I am curious about your opinion on the California, especially compared to the Arizona. But I'm sure you will have a video soon! On a bureau side note, it's interesting they have this ship set as a daily and fleet for the camo/California project. Definitely feels like a strong hint that WG wants the legendary projects running first, at least until this campaign is completed.

I use the perk that shows how many ships are looking at you. Punch through might make a 100k game a 106k etc game but you cant do damage with a sunken ship. Highly recommend, most important perk for any cruiser imo

Hey guys, at this point I’m at the six segment for both the Yamato and the kurfurst, should I finish both of them before getting the California, because I feel like it will take just as long to unlock it.

[@SpartanElite43]

Finish them first in my Opinion as they are legendary ships also the california trial isn't timed so no hurry

[@koolcatwithahat4997]

Spartan Elite43 yeah I figured at this point it’s more worth it to finish them first.

[@scrolljm2]

Hi spartan, ive been watching you for a while and I love playing as bb’s but idk whats the best nation. I will grind whichever one you find is the best. Thanks.

[@mr.worldwide1934]

Depends on what your play style is. Americans BB are very simple and tanky, up to Iowa. Iowa is definitely more of a sniper ship, but the armor is way weaker. German BBs are trash, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, only good things about them are good armor and secondaries. British BBs are essentially fire starters and they’re a bit fragile, but very fun, definitely a more challenging and unique line. Russian BBs are ruthless in every way, use it like a sword but don’t EVER expose your broadside you will be deleted. French and Japanese BB’s are light and quick with good guns, and two of my favorite lines. In my experience the Japanese and Russian are the most successful. Hope this helps!

[@Mutilise]

I was just in a match with you a bit ago, I was like "damn someone already boosted their way through the campaign? " But saw it was you lol. Was fun getting to have a match with you but sad it didn't go better. Hope I didn't potato too hard.

[@SpartanElite43]

Yeah didn't go in my favor. The enemy Amagi took 3/4 of my health because of Over Matching..... Wish my Amagi was as accurate as his was that match. Either way i did decent damage during that match but only so much you can do when everyone focuses you down

[@daveyjones4451]

I'm sure I heard that the Amagi had had some love this update I maybe wrong will have to check but watches DirtyMikes stream earlier and I did seem like the Amagi was hitting very consistently

[@johnbrent8477]

Yo spartan, would it be worth it to spend my free xp for the Atlanta or save it for triptiz/bama

[@SpartanElite43]

Comes down to personal preference, Atlanta is a glass cannon. With Short range guns and Torps so gotta be smart when using her utilizing cover and trying not to be the thing everyone is shooting at. Personally it is a meme ship and I wouldn't spend free xp to unlock it but I have had it since the 1st campaign but if you like light cruisers it is a fun ship and addicting to unleash 16 guns every few seconds.

[@daveyjones4451]

From the stats of the Cleveland I'd wait and get that instead, near same fire rate, higher fire chance and better range

[@magnificumdominum4229]

I would say that the HE definitely needs a nerf but seeing as Jean Bart hasn't been nerfed I doubt they'll listen

[@nihilus___]

The ap is bad you're supposed to use he.

[@maltekronschewski8097]

In that case they need to nerf the other American heavy cruisers HE as well because it is the exact same

[@SpartanElite43]

I highly doubt this thing will get nerfed as most folks will get obliterated because they do not know how to fight BBs The AP isn't Bad by any stretch it is just not as good as Balti's which is a good balnce considering how much damage this thing can dish out with HE that accuracy and fire rate is nasty

Hey Spartan I may be jumping the gun but it sounds like carriers are coming to legends. What is your opinion? I feel they ruined pc play and should be kept out of legends

[@VoodooActual]

I'm a cruiser captain so my opinion is very biased. I want them in so cruiser AA, especially Americans, can actually have a use. Plus I think it will stop higher tier BBs from camping in the back of their spawn. I'm tired of playing in my Baltimore and it just comes down to slugging it out at very long range with an Iowa or Amagi sitting all the way in the back

[@swimbo]

@@VoodooActual that is true, but I think it's a slippery slope, aircraft carriers seem like that on the pc, they just camp in back and can't effectively be countered. My fear is it'll turn in to the battleship camper 2.0 but with the added ability to spot.
