Nerdy stats on the shells.. .022 fuse and for some reason a 34mm arming threshold, which is less than Petro, even though Petro has 220mm guns and Stalingrad has 305s 🙃

[@SpartanElite43]

For some reason I keep think Petros guns are bigger than they are...

[@MiniHero-bp7tn]

That poor Musashi, yeah I didn't know Stalingrads guns were like that.

[@SpartanElite43]

😄 some say that Musashi is talking to his ancestors about his untimely demise to this day

[@jeffreyp2053]

that russian accent "comrad" was just elite HAHAHA

[@177SCmaro]

Yeah, Ohio isn't broken or anything, just another strong ship locked behind a paywall. It that sense Ohio is a little "pay to win" or maybe rather "pay for a strong ship".

[@SpartanElite43]

I mean most ships are strong and hard to sell bad ships right?.. Trust me I don't like a lot of the stuff WG does in the game but ohio is at least reasonably priced assuming you grind out the Campaign and not buy the Campaign out

[@177SCmaro]

@@SpartanElite43 I would say most ships are average. Ohio is clearly above average to the point it might receive a nerf, you said so yourself. My issue is the ship is both above average and is behind a paywall - I'm told the price of the campaign and some crates to get enough event currency for the ship, meaning f2p players don't have access to it. I don't like it when devs introduce strong ships behind a paywall, even a small one, to encourage people to hand over money, in effect, paying for an advantage, and after they received their payday they balance the ship later. Even worse, when WG nerfs the ship then makes it free to play. It sends the message that paying for an advantage is something to be normalized.

[@RamRockTH]

Pay wall? Just reset the line and get more RB😂 you cant get Ohio even you have money!

[@crapmalls]

And thats why i wont pay. Itll get nerfed or power crept as soon as you handover the cash anyway

[@SpartanElite43]

this is the console version of the game not the pc version so unfortunately it is locked behind a paywall currently@@RamRockTH

Got Stalingrad from the free gift crates and have been loving it! Last night I did 162k and 2900 base XP in it

[@SpartanElite43]

Nice it was a super prize so congrats!

[@lurkingedge]

Thank you for your Warspite history video. A magnificent ship with a truly storied service. A true shame she was scrapped. And good grief, she's tough. Sure, she's not the USS Nevada, the Ship that wouldn't sink, nor the USS Laffey, the ship that wouldn't die, but the Grand Old Lady took a lickin' and kept on tickin' over and over again, and She'd get patched up and be right back in it. And a 27,000 meter hit from those guns is enough to make anyone reconsider their life choices. So glad I pulled Warspite on my first Santa season, I am loving Her.

[@simpinainteasy1916]

For those that didn't know, this was the first Premium BB for the Russian at Tier 10 on PC then it was eventually changed to a cruiser. Also I find that Perto works better using Ivan B Delightful as a commander with Yamamoto as one of the inspirations.

[@SpartanElite43]

Honestly I didn't know that

[@user-vo5og6dy1g]

You did 3k damage to that Yama that you “Yeeted” 😂 love the videos!

[@SpartanElite43]

Yeah the BB mustve hit him at the same time.

[@Bcd31997]

I bought 20 crates trying my luck on a Lenin or JB pull but instead got Stalingrad, along with other ships. I'd say i got very lucky with my pulls

[@lurkingedge]

Everyone wants a JB. I pulled one from free crates. I would have loved a Stalingrad or Lenin. I did pull the Russian cruiser Poltava, but He is NOT working for me.

[@og_pickle3598]

Hate to be that guy and point this out but, at 14:10 that Yamato kill was a yoink...you got a few over pens and that was it, friendly BB must have hit him at the same time. That stuff happens to me all the time 😬.

[@SpartanElite43]

Yeah I see that now... but still as Seen in other fights the Stalingrad is fully capable of fighting against any BB especially when given a broadside

[@og_pickle3598]

@@SpartanElite43 For sure, Stalingrad is a monster!

[@NotTheBomb]

lol, I love Spartans explanation for the Ohio not being OP… is that if you Saul broadside, you still die…

[@suburbanview]

Nice showcase, well done!

[@arfgrogue5735]

If you spend the 2 mill gxp, do you instantly get the ship? Or do you have to work through the segments like other legendary tier ships?

[@SpartanElite43]

Yes you get it immediately

[@lordstarkiller6955]

I disagree about it being a battleship because it is no different from playing a Alaska it might have battleship guns but it still has cruiser armor just better platting to take damage easier and bounce shells so I would still call it a battle cruiser

[@FuntasticBroZone]

BTW, the musashi you hit got yeeted by the friendly battleship. I saw 2751 damage and 3 overpens from your side lol

[@Germanbattleshipenjoyer]

Wow. You did a whole 3k damage to the Yamato

[@SpartanElite43]

The other BB mustve hit him st the same time but as shown with the other BBs we'd have still smashed the Yamato

[@Germanbattleshipenjoyer]

Yeah

[@Shaney850]

Whats your crew setup for this thing inspirstions too?

[@SpartanElite43]

Pretty sure it's Kuznetsov with Von Essen and can't remember the other commander inspiration

[@bencevarga8749]

I can hear the soviet anthem when the guns are fireing

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

I have said since closed beta on the PC, ships and commanders help the player to an extent but they are not going to make a bad player suddenly a good player. A bad player might have good games, for them in the Ohio or Stalingrad but when you compare their stats in those ships to everyone else, they are still the same 40& win rate player playing in a really strong ship.

[@user-vz5mz5bq9f]

The more vodka you drink the more damage it does 😁

[@recarunu868]

oh that's surprising to me. Actually in PC version, the developers have made Stallingrad as a top quality premium cruiser that a player could get in exchange for steel.. I don't know. Did they really make it a battleship in console version?

[@SpartanElite43]

Stalingrad is a Cruiser but I always say it is the best Russian BB because its so tanky and hard hitting and it doesnt have the limited DCs that the Russian BBs have. Personally I would take Stalingrad over any of the russian BBs currently in the game.. although we dont currently have a top tier russian BB

[@hyuga571]

tbh I forgot about Stalingrad when Ohio came to Legends, so I say Ohio and Stalingrad are 2 very strong and powerful ships they have their own down sides but they do great and Spartan I'm happy Stalingrad got her HE shells because now we can see what Stalingrad can do on Legends like she can do things on PC

[@compotiron]

For me Ohio with New Jersey is a bit too strong when you just farm him with a Des Moines during 4/5 min and the only moment she shoot on you, she destroy you from 45k to 0, almost bow tanking at 15 km. Even if I didn't make any mistake, he managed to evaporate me out of the game just by pressing 2 butons haha (sry for the english, I'm a french sailor)

[@lauriea2971]

Have a safe and merry Xmas to u and ur family.

[@GNRI530]

Lenin and Vladivostok are a bit better than Stalingrad but I guess everyone has a right to their opinion

[@mrkos87]

I always thought Stalingrad was AP only. I don't know why, but it also has HE haha.

[@SpartanElite43]

It was AP only until the most recent buff that gave it HE as well

[@blmareterrorists]

I like russian bbs for their flat arcs that feels like its going faster. And i like the French bbs because theirs if faster velocity

[@davefinfrock3324]

That's because they are going faster--or should be. There were two schools of thought on naval ballistics: fast and light as opposed to slow and heavy. The tradeoff is increased penetration vs. belt armor as compared to increased penetration vs. deck armor, but at a reduced chance of hitting. The idea was that if you were only going to get a few hits, they'd better really count. In practice, once past 25k yards chances of hitting dropped off dramatically, so the performance of the USN Mk6 and 7 guns with the Mk8 shell were mostly academic. An interesting comparative example in the game is the Yamato's main battery of 18.1"/45 guns firing a 3200lbs shell at 2550fps vs. the USN MkA 18"/47 gun firing a 3850lbs shell at 2400fps. To make it even more interesting, the original USN 18" gun, the 18"/48 Mk1, fired a 2900lbs shell at 2700fps.

[@Treeman8]

Do you think it’s stronger than the Kronstadt the Kronstadt has 305 mm max speed is 31 knots and has 72’000 health it’s tanky but after watching you use the Stalingrad yeah I think this thing is crazy I mean with the Kronstadt I did 40k dmg to a yammy that was broadside that’s still my best shot ever because I got like 5 out of my 9 shots being citadels however your absolutely dominating the other team practically single handedly so I’m still guessing that yeah it’s better than the Kronstadt

You get the ice crowns by completing missions and finishing campaign then you have to buy 10 x 3 crates to get the rest of the Ice Crowns Necessary to get the Ohio

The ohio isnt oay to win. Its pay to be competitive. They are easy to sink if the person playing them is a rock with lips... That said. I got the ohio, its a fun ship. And it slaps the fuck out of anyone not oaying attention. But its still a legendary ship... If you get focused by the other team, youll burn down quick
