Stalingrad In 2024 - Still A Beast

[@Flamuu]

I´m on vacation so dont have time to read and reply to a whole lot, but to all you dudes defending the Drake in the petro vid comments, he didnt do shit, the Bourgogne did all the damage and the Drake just ran up and died. I hover over damage taken in the Petro vid at 13:45 and you can see did Drake did a whopping 7.2k damage KEKW

[@RandomName55]

It's weird he that big of a hit completely nose in like that, I think that's what threw people off

[@mknote]

@@RandomName55 Yeah, that's what threw me off and why I made the comment I did. I stand corrected.

[@chris8878]

Seriously when will you try out the defense, it’s got insane guns & reload for a cruiser. Other streamers like MalteseKnight, PQ, Trenlass, etc have amazing games/ commentary on the ship.. also PQ got a kraken in his first game.

[@vitezslavlorenc3479]

@@chris8878 Defence is not bad ship but its not something OP. Its very fragile and does not have super heal like Goliath but just "better heal". So its basically Goliath that trades healing for smokes and has 6 big guns instead of 12 smaller. Smokes can be used when there is no DD and sub in 11km around you or you will get spotted while shooting. I have it cos I love Goliath and St. Vincent so I also like Defence but its not easy ship to play.

Played 2 matches and 2 times got f...cked from a Sub with 0 Chance of counterplay. DM and Schliefen with 0 Chance ....

[@Bans94]

After watching Flamu's streams I get convinced that he's to negative about the game but after playing a single game of WoW's I realise he's entirely justified in everything he says 😂

[@lalxl]

That's why until like half a year ago my motto was: 'One Petro game a day keeps the eternal rage away'. Then I started playing Tarkov and literally played only 1 game of my each TX for Christmas gifts since then. Never touching wows again until serious changes are made

[@sarinhighwind]

Yeah. Most of us stopped but watch flamu for the realism.

[@hagostaeldmann]

99 percent of my frustration is teammates. People have 5k hours and play like they're brand new

[@j0k1g]

I watch Flamu because its pretty amazing seeing someone put up with the BS state of the game. I played it for 2y before the CV rework, was about 50% winrate, so not amazing, not horrible, had about 2k games down, and mostly played cruisers. By the time the German Carriers dropped I was done. I was one of those people who picked the Zao to grind back when it was still decent, not strong, but decent, but the CV rework slaughted the Sneaky flanking cruiser gameplay. They can alwaya kill you if they choose to. And if you try ANYTHING remotely useful, or stealthy, you can end up in crossfire between their team and an airplane, either will dev-strike you. That and the increasing amount of overmatch... its just not fun.

[@Kullgan]

Ive been watching him been negative about this game since 2018 lol

[@stm22]

13:45 typical wows match, when u survived the entier flank alone, your team mate will just wakeup and say "what the fuck you doing at the border, report xD"

[@serve_xt4298]

Alternative title: Napoli bizzarre adventure feat. Stalingrad. Meanwhile me in my Napoli, it takes a stalin looking at me funny to cit me in the weirdest posible angles.

[@crow917]

I'm convinced Flamu could play any ship and it would be a "beast".

[@Derin7890]

​@@aluisiouswell... it has lots of guns

[@sozetsukokai9327]

He can make Yodo work.

[@JoeMun]

Ok let me vent for a minute: They STILL haven't fixed the aiming bug, which is insane. The very first salvo in years past would have absolutely devastated that Napoli (maybe not full health, but a huge chunk). I'm most certainly a WOWS boomer at this point (been playing since 2015) but give me a fucking break, that shot was perfectly placed. If you look at the last couple frames before the shells impact they dive into the water at a slighty steeper angle. I've always wondered if I was finally getting washed up because I miss a couple more salvoes than I used to, but I realized its not because of a lack of skills. THIS BS is so frustrating.

[@MagnusVictor2015]

As a WoWS Beta player, I'll add that the 'gun handling' (bugs, large dispersion, everybody and their mother has an underwater citadel these days...) is frankly the largest reason why I quit WoWS. I could put up with the declining player quality (although that's easily the 2nd major reason), and even the CV and sub cancer. Back in the Good Ol' Days of WoWS, if you showed your broadside to a BB/CA (and even many CLs, at close range) it was back to port for you! That at least gave players a feeling of satisfaction when some idiot showed broadside, or when a good player made a flanking move that caught their opponent. But nowadays in WoWS, between the shell aiming bug, underwater citadels, high dispersion, etc. it's almost entirely up to RNG whether your perfect flank shot on an enemy player's exposed broadside is either a 5-cit devstrike or a 2-overpen 3-bounce meh. It's why some of the few ships left that can (fairly) reliably punish broadsides are considered to range between "really fun" and "overpowered": Stalingrad, Petro, Vermont, etc.

[@volknetai.3690]

​@@MagnusVictor2015 The game should encourage and reward players from using good position, opportunity, tactic and at the same time punish player that misplayed as the hard way of teaching ( beside, it is a game. Nobody really sink with the ships. Just press play and learn those mistakes ) But no, The game not punish misplayed player that play ship without/hard to reach weak spot, spamming ( support carrier doesn't teach players the plane preservation )

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

Flour Beetles are more resilient than a Cockroach.

[@kamilbanicki2533]

And the napoli is more resistent then Flour Beetles

[@dullen2810]

3:06 you can see here that he already ate a single citadel from the effect, so because hes playing a russian ship the game started a hidden timer that prevents him from being able to be citadeled for the next 30 seconds (only applies to potatoes)

[@duncanmackenzie7795]

New Napoli Leg mod gives +100% flamu tilt and +100% survival against flolo shells

[@iceone8879]

Most BB players still don't know you shouldn't be showed your broadside to stalin and petro or similar heavy ap cruisers. This is sad.

[@aluisious]

That's why they play BB. "Me take big ship me be big and strong no small ship hurt." That's where their understanding of the game stopped.

[@eragonrank5303]

Honestly, people show broadside to even Hindy and then wonders why they get slapped for 12k every 8 seconds

[@volknetai.3690]

Generally any cruiser with AP that can aim upper plating ( Exception being German, Soviet and Italian battleships to some extent ) are a threat as they could penetrate. Be it much less of an actual threat than the one that can aim anywhere while could citadel

[@DeathsWeepingAngel]

You shouldn't show broadside period. But most players never seem to learn this and prioritize getting all their guns on target.

[@dimitrisoikonomou3568]

How did those shells bounce at 4:53??😅😂😂

[@aluisious]

They bounced off the bread in the mess hall.

[@leonardobaldassarre3911]

Overpen through the superstructure and ricochet off the deck

[@Notsogoodguitarguy]

That Napoli, though! Absolute baller! I was actually rooting for it xD

[@ElmwoodCertified]

Flamu is the Hans Gruber of KZbin

[@grassmann028]

I was watching I just think it's funny that after you were fighting your ass off right before you managed to actually kill the ships helper salvos would come in

[@walker8846]

@flamu bug theory! At 3:09 you aim waterline, then raise the sights up right after firing. Shells then land right where you raised the sights too. Bug from spaghetti coding?

[@Spudnik-f8z]

I mean, respect the cockroach. His name was Robert Paulson

[@chilled_24_75]

[@drinsouthwestWA]

Stop it, but u made me smile.

[@Ph3NiX80]

Did WG reduce the Stalin's main gun precision? I played it a few times and it seems less precise than before.e.

[@bernhardlangers778]

A beast. If you don't have a sub spotting you you can't radar back, or have a cv interested in ap dive bombing you.... After a long hiatus I returned to the game and while I still have quite a bit of fun, Stalin sure has bled a fair bit due to powercreep and a fair number of ships doing its job equally well.

[@hebrewhammer4086]

Im actually debating on if i should get the stalin or not. I just got enough steel for my second steel ship, and idk what to get. I got the burger, but im stuck between stalin mechlenberg and the Italian bb

[@robbie9723]

Stalingrad is still the greatest gun platform in the game

[@eric-wb7gj]

[@snorkman2]

Gouden Leeuw, Napoli, Michelangelo have way better armour schemes then there peers, way better! Goliath, Zao, Demoine etc require skill to stay afloat, which is fine until you come across someone with skill playing the fore mentioned ships. I just got the Gouden Leeuw, it is just on another level, makes my Goliath look and feel terrible to play now. It has better armour and better guns and crazy airstrikes. Sure it burns for 60secs, but its pretty low damage per tick and can be managed.

[@aristosachaion_]

I SWEAR there's still an aiming bug of some kind in the game. Too many times I've fired salvoes and said, "where the fuck are my shells going?!".

[@sarinhighwind]

Its always been shit. It's one of the reasons i stopped playing. Dispersion is a joke and feels to rigged.

[@CaspCic]

What one cockroach thinks of the other... 😂

[@Nepturion88]

Well.... it's a T8 match... so ofc Stalingrad will outperform... but even in T10 or T11 matches and with CV and subs.. Stalingrad suffers HEAVILY!

[@phleetofph0gg]

Every ship suffers there, nothing unique to Stalin

[@drinsouthwestWA]

True the MM was kind.

Stop deleting ny frigging comment, pos youtube AI. FFS. Here's hoping it'll stay up this time: Stalingrad is gonna suck once people learn to angle their ships. It's gonna happen any day now, trust.

[@Gun-EZ]

That was 51% Napoli Imagine him being 46% or 43%

[@cl4ster17]

That would have made the roach immune to fire.

[@Gun-EZ]

@@cl4ster17 and guarantee every AP shell landing on near ricochet angle to be a full penetration, according to my experience

[@Amin_ktm]

they nerfed stalingrad to the ground that ship can't tank a lot anymore and even one low caliber HE shell has a high chance to set you on fire for no reason

[@aluisious]

LOL, no, you're just bad.

[@anna45333]

You should be more grateful to the luck you have in this game. Ok you have plenty of skill too. I don't say you don't have skill. But don't let your antirussian spirit speak for you. You can be with Bandera but you can be more subtle about it. After all this Russian game is your money maker. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. God usually punishes vanity and ungratefulness.

[@Arisudev]

How about the politicians? How about the CEOs of blackrock, amazon, meta, apple, and other big brands that oppressed their workers and screwing their customers? They don't seem to be punished.

You are slowly turning into someone who is not enjoyable to follow anymore. Your negativity towards the game these days proves that you’re holding on too tight and perhaps you should do something else. Perhaps puzzles or model airplanes.
