I'll keep these videos in mind when I start playing this ship line in 3-8 years.

[@dv8322]

Is that when you are eligible for parole?

[@Boatswain_Tam]

It'll be great if you can showcase the Perth to round it off on the Commonwealth cruisers

[@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to]

Mysore too. Given that she's in the BP.

[@enthaa]

I really enjoy playing my Perth, so I am looking forward to playing this line. Very good coverage of the new ships.

[@chiracultrainstinct3d629]

It’s like the Perth but Perth had punchy AP, especially against cruisers

[@tahiribnmohammad5410]

You need to review the hector now, see how it compares

[@paddington1670]

yes please!

[@comradeboutchnasty2142]

As a perth enjoyer id say its important to note the perth has access to spotter plane allowing for a surprsingly useful spotting option which the tech tree lacks but appears to make up for in base range. Admittedly spotter is far less useful in randoms where everything is spotted 24/7 by cvs and subs anyway lol Perth is a surprisingly strong pick for t6 ranked, and is often underestimated!

[@sargisshirinyan207]

Did the Worcester guy get bored and gave up or got banned?

[@Arthion]

Supposedly Encounter is based on an idea Cockatoo Shipyards had before the County-class cruisers (Devonshire, London & Surrey) were a thing, about taking Hawkins' hull as a basis and improving it to make a 9 gun heavy cruiser, probably some WG creative interpretation thrown into the mix (seems increased the tonnage and armor along with modernisation) and voilla.

Day 1 of requesting a PQ Seattle/Worcester guide in memorial of our hero

[@meganoobbg3387]

Problem is only the Ibuki and Chikuma II have lower DPM than this slow tin can - why would you pick it over the Brindisi or even Takahashi which also has better DPM? Just 1km sonar range doesn't make a difference - you can still only detect the submarine if he's dumb enough to go all up in your grill.

[@theuntorpable]

dpm isnt everything. with that logic almost every battleship in the game must suck and takahashi must be crazy op since it has more dpm than them

[@meganoobbg3387]

The Encounter needs 3 conditions to be any good - no radars, no CV harassment and no competent DD that can send torps to your smoke. Problem is the Brindisi and Takahashi are simply even better when those same conditions are met.

[@drdavidbissett7557]

Great review - good insights, Thanks. QUESTION - shouldn’t it be the case that the T10 of a line has the best overall attributes? It seems most lines to be the case. Why not here? Do you expect they might adjust the T10? Thanks PQ.

HECTOR!!!!

Day 5 of pouring out a sip of my lunchtime coffee in remberance of our dearly beloved Worcester guy

[@ishaanthadani7100]

What a guy 🫡

[@EGSON1996]

The legend will life for ever

[@brads2041]

You are becoming the monster :)

Day 3 of reminding Worcester remembrance guy to remind Worcester request guy.

[@Stvnpetersen]

Handling of a BB, firepower of a DD. They suck!

[@AndrewPardo]

PQ I never see you using the best advantage of this style of smoke. You can start on one spot, leave it move to another spot and have it still on you. You don't have to crawl at the lowest speed during the smoke duration.

[@KronStaro]

with Perth you do have to be at the slowest speed, not sure about this one

[@anotherrandominternetdog]

@@KronStaro I think he means it in the manner of ‘you can smoke up and crawl, but feel free to sprint for a bit (to reposition or respot) and then crawl again at ¼ speed after your sprint’. This is a pretty good option on Perth or Vampire too… although you do leave a trail of smoke pointing straight at you for anyone paying attention. Most don’t.

[@ronchabale]

Puts the Zaö to shame

[@ILoveforGames]

Day 7 waiting for secondary build Patrie

[@AulusClaudiusNero]

I was looking forward to this line and got the Encounter, but it truly feels like the worst T9 cruiser I've ever played. Handling of a battleship, armour scheme of a light cruiser, and without the DPM to justify it. It just trades way too much to be "good" at hunting bad sub players.

[@kev_sen]

Why can't they add some bigger battles, 20v20 or 50v50, game has been out for 9 years and only small scale battles.

[@horrifiedbystander2150]

They seem kinda boring tho, just smoke he spam.

[@snugglyhedgehog]

Day 4 of asking for Spotter Plane Worcester. Please PQ, I’ll even play it myself for you to review the replay. It’ll be a good meme

[@miked5647]

Why do you folks do this? Has anything in your adult life come from constantly asking the same thing over and over? Has this worked for you?

[@snugglyhedgehog]

@@miked5647 well, mostly because commenting on every video is good for the algorithm

[@Hangry_Hungarian]

@miked5647 Actually this does work, and it helps to comment on videos. Eventually if someone does it long enough the KZbinr will do it.

[@snugglyhedgehog]

@@miked5647 also, anyone who sees this, please don’t be toxic to this gentleman. I’m sure he meant no harm and merely was interested in my reasoning.

[@miked5647]

@@snugglyhedgehog yeah not being toxic just honestly wondering. I get the commenting for the algorithm. Thanks for the answer

[@canaksu2507]

Day 2 of carrying up the flag for the Worcester guy in his absence. We don’t care of new average cruisers, we want a Worcester video!

[@princessofthecape2078]

I think these are amongst the worst cruisers in the game - anemic HE, unimpressive AP, meh AA - everything is built around the stupid ASW gimmick.

[@phud78]

First!

[@revamp2245]

way overpriced !
