To be fair to DDs YOLOing: As we still don't get any class-specific XP bonus for scouting in a DD, there's a certain pressure to do damage (or to cap or decap even though you know it'll be sketchy). Otherwise you do 100k spotting in a T7 DD in a T9 battle but none of your torps hit anything and so even though you did everything right and helped your team win, you are second to last.

As the player with the second highest PR and WR in Tallinn on EU, play it like a Hipper with radar, and load He only for DD's or when you spot someone who just dcp'd. It plays best being hyper aggressive around caps. AA is also fantastic for a tier 8, and you will piss off CV's if you spec into it.

AP dpm is the same. Tallinn also happens to have a radar, stealth radar at that, and better AA. So Hipper basically has slightly better dispersion but for 8 guns, makes no difference as Tallinn will still score more hits only due to the fact that it has 4 more guns..

YOLOboat mindset might decrease a bit if WG would actually reward tiny ships for fucking spotting...

[@MathwithMing]

It might be an unpopular opinion but I think, overall, the new Russian cruisers are good for the overall gameplay (with the exception of being able to stealth radar). They have good AP but relatively weak HE, so flanking can be significantly more rewarding compared to HE spamming at nose-in ships. They have weak long-range dispersion so players are rewarded if they getting close. Yes, they do seem to overperform other cruisers if played well, but compared to other decisions WG made in the last year, the introduction of this line is actually one of the better ones.

[@danh7411]

This, I agree with most of the things you said but any other cruisers can perform as well when they are played correctly

[@BombshellCreations]

This really needs to be a "how to play Tallin when uptiered". It does fine when top, but against 9s and especially 10s it is roouuugh.

[@ZZMonkeysUncleZZ]

You say that like that isn't how it should be. A T8 going against T9s should be at a notable disadvantage, and against T10s should be almost completely outclassed, with player skill being the only thing to save you. I personally haven't found major issues with it. It does reasonably well against cruiser fire. It pops when under sustained BB fire, but so does every cruiser that's not a Moskva, Petro, or supercruiser.

Uptiered means facing upper tiers. Not being upper tier.

Best ship for brawls! DDs? hydro+radar - they get deleted! Cruisers? Ap + pen angles are too strong and torp angles are good - they get demolished! BBs? Armor that holds up for a while and 5x17k torps - BBs get yolo blabbed except Tipritzes - those you kyte on rather short range, so their torps are useless and they can not get all guns on you (if they show broadside ur ap teaches them not to) AA is ok against T8 cvs and if you dont bother for the caps and go straight for them, the sky vermint gets extinguished. i really, really do like this ship, but funny enough it's rather unpopular and people seem to think its bad^^

[@danh7411]

dude please bring Tallin into 1v1 brawl, would love to blast you kek

[@DanielWW2]

Flamu, are you really suggesting that the Tallinn gets underrated? Its a Hipper that got the full "Sekrit documents" treatment and it pisses me off. I love the Hipper. I am weird, I know, but I really, really like that ship and I could so some work with it from time to time. But often you just feel hold back because it is lacking in a lot of soft stats. And then you see this being released... This one, oh boy do I dislike this one. Those 180mm turrets where without a doubt, the single worst armament put on any WW2 era cruiser. Not only where the turrets so terrible that practical RoF was around two salvo's per minute, and with three guns placed so close to each other, dispersion because of mutual interference must have been bad, but the guns themselves where also terrible. They did not achieve the intended 1000 mps muzzle velocity. Then two different versions of those 180mm guns Pattern 1932 existed. The shallow grooved ones where an utter joke with a barrel service life of less than 100 shells. Most 203mm guns could fire several hundred shells before those barrels where worn out. Battleship grade guns even outlasted those 180mm guns. Then the improved deep groove 180mm Pattern 1932 guns, required separate ammunition, thus creating a logistic nightmare. That however didn't fix any of the other issues. These guns get completely outclassed by the 203mm SK C/34 guns of the Hipper in muzzle velocity, weight of shell, weight of explosive content in the shell, RoF, turret design, penetration, accuracy and barrel life. But Sekrit documents tovarish... Rant over. 😅

[@strixaluco7423]

Considering physics and some basic ship knowledge Tallinn makes no sense. How can this thing carry so many guns with this pen on a Hipper hull. If you watch Drachinifels vids he explains really good what it needs to swap between tripple turrets and a twin with a higher caliber. The guns are way to big to even fit in that hull + with that pen each barrel must way close to the 20cm guns so even if the somehow squeeze that huge barbet and reaload mech. in the hull the ship would be stupid unstable and not that fast. Some ships needed extensive planning like the Scharnhorsts or Mogamis to swap the tripples for larger twins, but soviet engineering can do that with a hull from another nation they knew nothing about with guns never meant for that ship and their highly limited knowledge about shipbuilding (they bought that hipperhull to get some of that knowledge in the first place).

You can sail around and not be spotted (provided no CV) and basically stalk your enemy, wait until it turns broadside and rain hell, or simply open water gunboat at the range also works (but it is not the most effective at that role.) + DD counter potential is huge - excellent concealment, soviet stealth radar, german hydro.

I never spoke about Tallinn specifically but i have noticed that whenever i am against a russian ship i can almost never penetrate let alone citadel them. Only MAYBE if they show me 100% broadside will i get a cit or two but thats it. A very slightly angled tallinn has ricochet Yammy, montana, GK and even thunderer AP shells which has left me infuriated to say the least, its the same for the other ruski cruisers. Their armor is absolutely ridiculous. And what do you mean no one ever mentions the other ships you noted? People (Myself included) have pure hatred for FRD and Kleber. Georgia is kind of meh right now. Bourgogne is a ship i almost never see in games so no reason to complain there tbh.

Hey Flamu when will you be releasing your cruiser build video?

[@Artem_Shepelev]

I'm in a weird relationship with Tallinn. My winrate in her is well above average (68% in 35 battles), but I disliked playing this ship so much that I sold her and freeXPed my way to Riga lol. Low speed, poor maneuverability, weak armour, bad DPM make her super uncomfortable to play against T10 for me.

[@ShawFujikawa]

Same, Tallinn just feels really inflexible as a ship. Riga and Petropavlovsk punish mistakes really hard but they don't completely depend on mistakes to excel like Tallinn does. The games like the one Flamu got here where nobody respects the AP/radar and constantly give broadside are once every hundred games and in the other 99 while you might have some high moments you're mostly just stuck feeling at least one of those weaknesses at any given point. She's probably not _weak_ exactly, but if you get even moderately unlucky with her for too many games it's not surprising that people can feel like she is.

[@tumppu1975]

Are there really T8 cruisers that are "comfortable" to play with against T10, though? Sure, some handle uptiering a little bit better than others, but in general, you just blow up in any T8 when a random T10 BB with deadeye takes a good look at you. Maybe those, that you are by default forced to play staying concealed all the time, like Edin, Cleve, Chapa. Balti is a great T8, but in a T10 match you are like a dude in a wedding reception that forgot to bring his pants.

[@Artem_Shepelev]

@@tumppu1975 Charles Martel, Chapaev, Mogami are great regardless of matchmaking imo. They have high DPM and other things like maneuverability/concealement/stealth radar (Tallinn has it too but it's nowhere near as good as Chapaev's) that make them strong even when uptiered.

I only see balanced average ships. As for the Moskva you fought, maybe bad RNG idk, I have no problem nuking that citadel city even at max range.

Does the Riga have the same improved pen angles?

[@Kullgan]

I dont think so for the riga...petro has it

[@danh7411]

yes, they all have the un-noticeable 5 degree improved pen angle

You want to win games now adays. You do THIS, or play DD. Most players on the game are just abismal at best. Hope you all learned something from The Great Flamuu.

[@Spartaner627]

flamuBS :mega: ackshually you are wrong and tallinn is bad cause of the low HE DPM, i read that on reddit so it must be true

[@danh7411]

+ extremly poor accuracy far range + 900m turning circle so you're easier to explode than Hippers + only 15s radar + very bad HE DPM + have to rely on broadsides to do damage, whenever you meet people with a brain, you deal next to 0 damage

How can a Hipper or an Eugen exist next to a monster like this?

[@danh7411]

simple, more nimble and more survivable.

[@vae9430]

- Tallinn isn't anywhere near being a monster. Have you tried playing her? This is ONE very good game. Average games in Tallinn are much, much different... - Hipper and Eugen have improved HE while still having very strong AP, meaning they can fight nose-in ships, which Tallinn cannot. They're also much more maneuvrable, have better dispersion, and Eugen got a heal.

With such powerful ships in their navy, how did the Russians not cause more of an impact in the Atlantic and Pacific theatre?

[@blasterman789]

Same reason Bruce Willis saved us from an asteroid strike. Both are science fiction.

Zao just got its 203mm undisputed pen record dumpster fired by slav 180mm railguns 2 tiers lower, what even lol. Tallinn 180mm averages over 75mm more pen at all ranges than Hinden/Hipper AP, just HILARIOUS.

[@danh7411]

As if anyone would consider Zao or Hinden have good pen but ok

[@la_potat6065]

@@danh7411 I can agree with Hinden having anemic pen. But Zao has the highest 203mm pen in the game and is still unbroken for 4-5 years, it may not have DMs or Russian CA pen angles, but it gets destroyer dispersion instead. It was only recently beaten on its long range pen by italian 203mm with their better airdrag values, and now Tallinn 0 airdrag buff 180mm which has higher pen at all ranges other than point blank.

[@danh7411]

@@la_potat6065 sure, higher pen ya da ya da only if you can hit anything

Admiral Hipper: "Are you sure about that?" Seriously, I faced one in my Admiral Hipper and just slugged em to death. Plus, I dodged all his torps, too. But, that Tallinn player was very unskilled with that ship.

[@danh7411]

then you try to turn in close range but can't because 900m turning circle and you get blapped to oblivion while Hippers gets bounced and overpens
