T11 IJN Senjo - Lestas Super-Zao Is Here

[@Flamuu]

I think the ship is pretty fun, the problem is WG and Lesta were high on combined crack when they added the earlier versions of superships, and they clearly have no intention to nerf them properly.

[@AltCtrlSpud]

Isn’t Senjo what Zao used to be called when it was the only fantasy clown world ship in the game and the game was actually good and had potential?

[@nabara6949]

Maybe you're right, it was loooong time ago so I'm not sure either.

[@Joew2015]

It was back in closed beta

[@AltCtrlSpud]

Ahh closed beta… I remember dying to get into that and finally winning my beta key on a stream giveaway and being more excited than you could believe to finally get in, and it was everything I’d hoped it would be. Fast forward to now, I’ve had the game uninstalled for years, my special Arkansas Beta rusting away in port

[@ManuR-l4m]

You call Beta and early Wows good?! Matchmaking was hell. Have fun vs T10 with your New York. High tier was pure ebola with pre nerf 20km Shima torps everywhere. Stealth fire was an insanely toxic mechanic. And so was RTS CVs being able to oneshot you (Dont get me wrong. RTS CVs werent as toxic as what we have now. But this was too much). Most T9 ships were giga trash. WG aiming for people to buy Free XP. The grind was insane. The good eco signals and camos werent a thing yet. Also no freemium ships (aside from a T4) and huge repair cost in high tier meant a big struggle for Credits. It had potential, i agree. Then it peaked from mid 2016 to early 2019. That was the prime of this game.

[@edwardgaspar5428]

Senjo was the og zao name. One of flamus earliest videos is him playing the senjo

[@Hunter_17825]

WG had to come up with a dozen t11 before actually pulling a ship that is "balanced" for its tier

[@Covajj]

I'm patiently waiting for Super Schlieffen.😮

[@DaxRaider]

its called hannover

[@FrostBeam009]

@@DaxRaider Its not lmao.

That floating pinata that has its own gravitational field for every shell in existence?

Hannover is the super preussen but not the super schlieffen and actually garbage and not super😂

Waiting for WG to fix Bismarck BB line ...

[@PLMassTahh]

Original Zao is back :P

[@Itsallgoodtogo]

Original zao was a fire from stealth ship.

[@BillMcD]

i thought we already had a super zao named the conqueror

[@cl4ster17]

No, that one is Mega Zao.

[@warsh1p234]

super zao is just an a nevsky

[@user-gv4zb9rc6u]

So what's so super about the ship? Slightly better reload, maybe better range, better torp angles and... larger citadel that's actually vulnerable, unlike some other Burts firing supercruisers?

[@slip6699]

That's the problem WG created. They called them superships instead of tier 11 and made the initial ones overpowered.

[@user-gv4zb9rc6u]

@@slip6699 greaaaaaaaaat

[@Arthion]

I mean they keep making OP ones, have you looked at Maine or Jacksonville lol? It seems they just randomly decide some deserve no gimmicks and are just regular ships.

[@user-gv4zb9rc6u]

@@Arthion I mean, they gave Japan the Yodo line as if it was meant to be a gift and not a steaming doggy bag so far lmao

[@krausewitz6786]

It's IJN. WG have ALWAYS hated IJN. This is nothing new.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Minus Flamu here in the Senjo and the Kornilov on the enemy team, this looks like a normal WoWs game on the WG side of things.

[@Strato5]

Good ship, the problem is other ships are so much better 😅

[@doro420-69]

I almost choke on my food when i saw that range

[@Arthion]

So what does Senjo offer over Zao beyond actually having hp? Marginally better dpm?

[@cl4ster17]

Much better main battery and torpedo angles

[@anthonyware4033]

​@cl4ster17 what is the gimic tho? This ship sucks compared to the other super ships, it is just a ship.

[@cl4ster17]

@@anthonyware4033 Senjo itself isn't a bad ship. In fact it seems like a fairly balanced T11. It's just that Annapolis and Condé are so ridiculously broken that they would qualify for T12. Yet both are merged into a single super tier.

[@anthonyware4033]

@cl4ster17 so ya it's not a good T11, it is under powered

[@AndrejD303]

@@cl4ster17 feels like senjo is good t10 premium but t11? come on... all i saw was basically henry IV action... without rapid reload lol :D

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

What mod is that, that highlights spotted teammates on 3D view and also minimap?

[@jackickes880]

What's the (uber?) Zao's gimmick? Just better all around stats vs its t10?

[@duncanmackenzie7795]

Do you mean to imply Zao ISN'T a super ship already?

[@ujjwal7502]

why does jacksonville has more range than this?

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Well this one and Jacksonville don't have any relation cause one is on Lesta and the other is on WG

[@underviv64]

That’s a super ship?

[@ioantudordetesan417]

So this is how they fixed Zao? wuahhhhh

[@animatepl]

what are these yellow outlines on the friendly ships on the map? Is this some kind of a mod?

[@dimvssometimes]

on RU this is a part of the game -- indication of whether your allies are spotted

[@illegalopinions4082]

​@@dimvssometimesNow that's an interesting addition

[@volknetai.3690]

What funny about this ship is that it use german ammunition. Just look at the name of the ammunition at the port

[@jaysonnunley6602]

you clearly didnt notice it has german guns theyr the same as on the clausewitz

[@volknetai.3690]

@@jaysonnunley6602 I know that it use 210mm guns. The thing is it use the same ammunition down to the letter as if the ammunition ( of which doesn't exist in real life ) were shared among them. On slightly relate note, St. Vincent and Ruggiero di lauria also use the same ammunition ( namely 457mm AP Mk.II, Both ships having the same performance )

[@silverbullet96]

checking at NA server, so no Senjo on NA server?

[@AndrejD303]

Feels like zao that got buffs it was supposed to have 4 years ago... have to say that IJN cruisers are really in a shitty state

[@droidmotorola3884]

a super Zao would have mogami turrets

damn i havent played for sooo long ... there are tier 11 now 🤨

SENJO COME TO EU!!!

[@le_potate3861]

Can I port my account to Lesta yet?

[@Flamuu]

I wouldn't be too eager to do that, Lesta submarine balance is a complete shitshow. There's no submarine surveillance added to cruisers, shotgunning still exists and they thought super-subs was a good idea. So yeah, just as retarded as WG but on a different spectrum.

[@le_potate3861]

@@Flamuu Good points. The implementation of mini map spotting gives me a small glimmer of hope. But mostly I just want to play Vodka Yamato. Might as well go full retard. Also NA server has become a wasteland lately, as you pointed out recently. MM is brutal. It's the same 200 animals and 20 clubbers in every match.

[@John_McCarthy1]

Lesta has Soviet Battlecruisers too, so I wouldn't be jumping at the bit to be on their server

Only 25 is wth 10s have 27 or more

[@britinmadrid]

Great vid as always!

[@TheGreatBoomy25]

I mean. Not having a burst against other super ships is rough. But that’s the life of tier 10 and tier 9. Fundamentally obsolete tiers against Superships. Between them and subs, it’s thrown off game balance of this game sadly.

[@stuffandwhatnot4401]

Too many people wait for someone else to win the game.

[@tsuaririndoku]

So it is Oversized Zao with worse dispersion pattern? Also, is it just me or Senjo design doesn’t looks Japanese and feel more like Russian than Japanese?

[@xeiv1]

So how is it different to Zao, 3k more health?

[@nooblangpoo]

Of course it's the IJN that,gets the worst SS

not gonna buy those BS superships; All players lose credits by playing them.

[@thematrixredpill]

A disappointment

[@DrSid42]

Dude, it's Senjo, not Senyo. J in English transcription of Japanese is always pronounced as in John.

[@DDayJayke]

2:50 I know teamkilling is no longer a thing, but seeing Flamu of all people lob torps with allies being between him and his target makes me cringe. It is just something you'd expect from a potato ngl. And yeah, Brisbane is a player, but so are you for pushing a flank all by yourself with zero spotting. Guess you are lucky the Annapolis and Daring didn't go for a push on the flank, otherwise you would have looked dumber than the Brisbane.

[@congbu7369]

WG save the name Senjo after 8 yeah xd
