WoWS: Legends - Lüshun - Premium Ship Review

[@danwick8566]

I absolutely love that Tactic still does all the historical context for these ships, even for ships that never existed. It would have been easy for him to say, "this was never actually built, or even really designed, so let's just move on to the gameplay." Instead, we get a whole explainer on the Korean War and the beginnings of the PLAN. Once again, bravo!

[@tacticangel]

Glad you enjoyed it. I don't think I quite connected the dots as well as I wanted in the end, but there was a point to all that rambling. 😄

[@x40ozFan]

Once again, tacticangel has mesmerized me with a video that I've watched in its entirety, of a ship I have zero desire to play. Well done...🥃🍻

[@tacticangel]

Thanks 40! I don't know how I do it either, but I appreciate the continued support! 🥃🍻

[@blorkysenior]

Despite the fact you have Legends videos several months old this is the 1st one of your videos I've come across. With that said, I super enjoyed the history part of the video. I'm definitely a slight ship nerd so Info like that is always welcome. The way you do your stats and recommendations are absolutely spot on. You got yourself a new sub and I hope to see more Legends content in the future

[@tacticangel]

Yeah. Strangely, I put a lot of time into this stuff but never ask anyone to actually watch it, but I've actually been making videos since the beta. 😅 I guess it isn't a great strategy. In any case, welcome aboard!

[@jimmyellner4763]

Nice! Two videos in quite a short time!

[@tacticangel]

It's an anomaly, I swear... but later today I will start two new documents titled Haida and De Zeven Provincien.

[@jimmcclure7149]

Thank, tactic. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.

[@tacticangel]

Thanks, Jim! Hope you did too!

It's surprising how much history there is behind this paper ship. Great job researching it. I use the torp build because the commander skills barely effect the guns enough to make it worth it. I'm also really disappointed in how often the turrets in this ship get knocked out. I even had one destroyed once so I was putting around with only 1 turret. Felt super useless, lol.

[@tacticangel]

There's a lot of talking around the issue, sort of an anti-history, and thinking about it, I think I forgot to mention the Luda-class was the first class the CCP built... just to put it into perspective why this wasn't a thing. Strangely, I didn't have my turrets taken out. Disabled once or twice, but they hung in there pretty well for me. Could just be lucky.

[@bronnerx5991]

I like your thinking on the commander choice for this ship, nearly a full reprint of the health pool overall & more smokes why not. I just barely completed the campaign due to life happening, and have not been out in it since getting it. It definitely has some great tools with the many smokes, excellent repair party and great sonar… though I always struggle not having the ability to torpedo fellow DDs in their smoke, even if the deep water torpedoes are otherwise fairly good. The guns seem to be that weird mix of not many with not great penetration but very fast firing. I do look forward to giving this ship more playtime to see what I can do with it.

[@tacticangel]

Sometimes I like to just be a bit different, show that I do some other things. I'm always open to being wrong about the game or jumping to conclusions. It also doesn't hurt to show that if you play a ship reasonably well with a purpose, the commander that matters most is probably you. 👍 After-school special moment...

[@kpz1234]

I'd try the torp build. I want to mention that I noticed the main battery accuracy was poor (at 5km) and the rudder shift is pretty bad for a knife fighter.

[@tacticangel]

Yeah. I did try that, of course and even recorded a whole game I'd worth of commentary before I figured it was just "too boring," and that takes a lot for my channel. 😂 I didn't think it was a outstanding. It was definitely useable.

[@Simonj2109]

Build ya build nothing it's a kids game you 🤡

[@robertreese1305]

Great video. Thanks

[@tacticangel]

Glad you liked it!

[@desertpunk6705]

Awesome content

[@tacticangel]

Thank you, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SirDenzington89]

I’ve only played a few games so far but I enjoy this thing. Feels like a Friesland with torpedos. That’s the way I play it. Also cool to stealth sonar people. I feel like people keep waiting for the next Mainz but it’s not coming. Campaign ships are probably going to be just about average now. They went on a streak and released like 6 OP ships they had to try to fix later. Sadly I missed most of them cause I was taking a break playing other things

[@tacticangel]

It's probably good that this isn't anything too broken. Some of it is just preference. I enjoy ZF-6 more than this, even if Lüshun is almost undoubtedly the more useful destroyer.

[@permafrostinsanity1799]

I find it very funny, on 2 separate matches, sailing in my shimakaze, I’m face to face with 1 Lushun. At first detectability of both of us, Lushun players temporarily use their guns on me and smoke up, but true to destroyer fashion and out of habit, they follow up their attacks with a full splash of torpedoes in my direction. Believing their torpedoes will sink me, they seem to forget that they’re sailing in a Chinese destroyer with deep water torpedoes. Regardless, they continue to dunk torps my way. Lol

[@tacticangel]

There's a non-zero chance that if I thought the person might take a moment to consider dodging deep water torpedoes (even though they cannot physically hit), I might consider it one or two steps before throwing the kitchen sink at them... better to keep on the guns though. Cheers!

[@Icylist]

i recommend using the ap a lot more on the Lüshun because the HE alpha is abysmal on that Zf6 for example he was overangled enough where your ap would pen and you probably noticed he was using ap on you too so thats one thing and also you aimed a bit high on repub imo but im not gonna start critiquing a good player.

[@911shan]

What I hate about the Lushun is its abysmal AA defense. A carrier can just fly around you to keep you spotted as everyone kills you and your AA is so bad that 30 seconds latee you haven't even killed half of the airplanes. That is the primary reason I do not like playing this ship. I'd rather play the Halland or Dalarna, because the AA Defensive Fire consumable + Halland/Dalarna's AA defense actually forces carriers to lose all aircraft within 15 seconds if they choose to fly around you and spot you.

[@tacticangel]

Well... that was... kind of "fixed" by the next patch. Not sure if I'd call it fixed, but at least the other folks can't shoot you as easily.

[@henrikjohansson7776]

Why are you shooting He? The gimmick is AP with that ship lol

[@rickeysprouse9114]

Use your AP more the lushun has better AP then HE and you would get mire out of the lushun guns

[@tacticangel]

Yeah, I did not have that experience. The exact range and angle, etc remained elusive to me, and at least in this game, not a lot of circumstances where it would have been preferable.

[@camerondawnpeterson5100]

Wow super late review everyone n their mother's have had the Lüsun for weeks now, well better VERY late then never

[@vandemonian5412]

were you entitled to an earlier one?

[@cybergazza2140]

Aren't you a little ray of fucking sunshine. Did someone shit in your cornflakes this morning? He takes the time to research the history of the ship, that takes more time than just playing a few games. I'll give you a hot tip. Next time you think about posting a comment, instead have some quality time enjoying your fave past time of licking windows....

[@tacticangel]

Well... it sounded like at least one person really wanted it, and I screwed up my schedule this patch so... why not spend a bunch of time making a video that has a day and a half worth of shelf-life. 🙃
