The Sejong Experience: Finally A Good Ship

[@diegowushu]

I'm glad they pushed out this line to combat the overwhelming pushing meta. The game was getting too exciting and dynamic, needed a tone down.

[@flazederg6800]

100% agree. Idk if this tree is enough to combat this meta fully, but hopefully, the upcoming support carriers will push the likes of schliefens and preussens to the back of the map where they belong

[@ashhuang8920]

Is this some high level satire?

[@Absts4ct]

True, nothing is worst for the game than people having fun.

[@davefromrocky]

Sarcasm is fire.

[@Dcarp7]

That is one heck of sarcasm you have there sir.

[@davidxiedeng9161]

There's something I want to point out about the CV strikes starting at 12:25, particularly the rocket planes. If you watch the AA going off at rocket planes, you see it turns off after the strike is initiated. The planes get immunity in probably the most critical moment with AA. It's especially bad for Nakhimov who gets really long rocket aim time (long immunity time) and entire squadrons move away immediately afterwards.

[@rock_man]

The whole concept of planes being invulnerable during a strike is stupid as hell too. Coming in for a strike is usually when planes are most vulnerable because they need to stay steady to hit the target, but WG simply cannot let planes get shot down by ships.

[@CiaranMaxwell]

Those predictable targeting/launching flight paths are what made cannon-based AA effective to begin with. The idea that they become invulnerable at the moment they become predictable is _stupid._

[@steeltrap3800]

Atlanta class was a purpose built AA cruiser, crap ton of dual purpose 5" guns and ultimately integrated radar direction and fire control PLUS proximity fused AA shells. In short, it ought to be a floating "no fly zone". But, hell, I should stop bothering with reality because WG sure as shit never has.

[@rustyshackleford9450]

I really like this series grinding the tech tree and showing compilations of various games rather than just one game. good production value

[@britinmadrid]

Looks like another line where anything before Tier VIII is underwhelming as WG desperately tries to force you to a) pay for Premium, and b) populate cannon fodder Tiers for 'Super' ships.

[@KawaiiKatarina]

I grinded this ship yesterday and honestly I am not too happy with it. Not because the ship is necessarily bad, but rather because it has way too many downsides for my taste. Now that subs are out, you get half of each team being subs/DDs, and without Hydro, Sejong is vulnerable in her smoke. To be honest in most cases it feels like the smokes are working against you because if your team doesn't spot, you can find yourself with 3 enemies 5km close to you after your smoke runs out. The other problem I have but I guess the balancing factor is the velocity. The shells fall so slow that it feels like you're watching a stop-motion animation. They are nothing like Smolensk or even Mino shells. And finally the abysmal 30k health that gets blapped in one BB salvo.

[@EvoraGT430]

I was lucky in that the very first Pan-Asian Bundle was the Sejong. It is a fun and pretty strong ship, but obviously best played with div-mates for spotting. It can certainly hold a flank very well with those torpedoes.

[@bmvhusky]

Just got this ship this week and been a lot of fun building it up. It's very fun to play when the big boys push in and feels like a swiss army knife of light cruisers as it has smoke, heals which for a light cruiser are absolute gold, defensive AA can drops bunches of planes near you, HE starts fires very easy, and those torp volleys are just incredible when battleships and cruisers push in. Last night, I dropped an almost full health Kearsarge incredibly fast with a couple volleys of torps and those those ships are incredibly tanky. Guns do suffer at long ranges as the arch's are scrapping the moon and feels like it takes forever to come back down.

[@jamesthomas6228]

I've really enjoyed watching you play through the line like this. Very informative and entertaining.

[@jaek_898]

14:45 really rare to see two krakens on the same team like that

[@AverageWTPilot]

Didn't expect to see u here lol

[@sameerkharade7750]

So a light cruiser gets 32mm plating, but Yoshino for some reason is covered in just 30mm. Good job WG.

[@EvoraGT430]

It also gets 16mm.....

[@KalinoursEU]

Yoshino is for noobs who want to buy their way into high tier

[@sameerkharade7750]

@@KalinoursEU that may be true, but considering other super cruisers like Alaska which could have been a ticket to high tier too got good durability (38mm deck) and 10km radar. It could have been bought for doubs too, but Yoshino was available just for coal until recently when they were selling T10 coal ships for doubs. So if other super cruisers get good armor, there is no reason for Yoshino to not get the same.

[@lucadesanctis563]

Let's not mention Montana with 38 mm central deck while Petro has 50

[@kagakai7729]

@@sameerkharade7750 The Yoshino is a dedicated HE spammer with flat arcs that sits at 20 kilometers with a spotter plane padding its stats, while an Alaska is a high-impact pushing ship whose primary purpose is pressuring cap circles and destroying light cruisers. The Yoshino should not have the same armor. At LEAST right now, you know that if you hit that thing you can make it explode. Imagine if it had alaska armor and it could just angle and farm you as a BB.

[@woutervanheusden]

I have a full torpbuild on this and it is very fun. You need to be carefull ofc but very rewarding to blap bbs for 70% of their hp

[@RandomName55]

Appreciate you putting out so much content man. It's my morning ritual to finish off a pot of coffee while watching a PQ video.

[@emmaquarzpeng]

Same here, To-Do-List: check mails, grab a coffee and start the day with PQ^^

[@robertlee5456]

IMO the main strength of this line is its ability to fire in support of friendly dds, from map positions that aren't normally viable for smokeless CLs. By occupying these positions, you can shoot at hiding holes that red dds like to use because they're normally safe from enemy fire in them.

[@johnbeeck2540]

Congrats on 35K Subs!

[@darnfloor]

ahhh Pan-Asian Cruisers.. the Steve Miller of cruisers: Smokers, Jokers, Deep water torpers...

[@Sam_the_Spinosaurus]

really neat how Sejong uses Montana secondaries as the main guns, those wide, boxy turrets look nice

[@KalinoursEU]

The t7 cumphone and the t8 shitbin are so painful to grind

[@luckanLK]

Hey dude the addon you use for your markers in the right top corner what are they called ? love the review !

[@dogzilladdd6096]

Teacher: why did you not do your homework? PQ: I like to play aggressive

[@KB_13247]

would you say it's better to take the rutter upgrade mod, or the mod that makes you reach max speed 50% faster mod?

[@saschawagner5167]

so tell me again why exactly do the lower tir IJN DDs have to chose between smoke and TLR?

[@acrumpet1329]

You need smoke with the amount of up tiers and CVS in that tier

[@matthiasdarrington3271]

not the same concealment : they'd be broken with both.

[@SJNFury_Tai]

Are you using IFHE? Also the t7 plays kinda like flint would

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

He's not using IFHE. 20:40

[@boundforspace3603]

IFHE puts the pen up to 26, 28. Not worth it, there’s better skills (torp damage, AR, even SE) that are more viable. Just hit the superstructure.

[@SJNFury_Tai]

@@boundforspace3603 I know, but if you’re really good at aiming and can hit the superstructure well enough, you might do more damage

[@JD-kl8hz]

@@SJNFury_Tai you either pen or you don't there is no bonus damage for having extra pen. 26/28mm pen is worthless past tier 7 as things start having 27+mm armor at t8+. better to start fires on everything you won't be able to pen than cut your fire chance in half just to shatter on everything that you were going to shatter on anyway without IFHE.

[@maudrysilvain5905]

hum, I do wonder with Jinan and Sejong (also Austin). In which world can a light cruiser have an outer plating as thick as one found on BB (we all know which one have such outer poor armor for BB). Anyhow I don't think this line was a good idea with how much they can punish an active gameplay. Or as an ex-CC pointed out, HE spam is just a band-aid on another band-aid on another band-aid. Also regarding the fact pointed out at 13:03 . I think that the current system (that WG will never change because of the sunken cost fallacy) is even not fun for CV players, if they get caught by a flak and get their whole squadron wiped out (I think many of us will be glad they don't have it anymore) but to a CV player it's a not so fun experience

[@derrickstorm6976]

17:10 An average Wargaming enjoyer, probably didn't even realize you were there. People like this are especially attracted to WG products for some reason, I've never seen a dumber player base in any game I've played

[@skybuck2000]

Which graphics chip is this it looks good.

[@JoyousOblivion]

What’s with the recent overuse of ‘spin to win’ expression?

[@jessicaregina1956]

This ship just dropped in blitz and man it's op af. 200 main gun hits is easy, 250 on a good day

[@dzello]

Sadly, it doesn't have airdropped depth charges and a legendary commander (Yi Sun Sin released as a basic commander, yikes) which makes it slightly less interesting.

[@stephenmarshall3771]

Alright at this point it’s pretty obvious that wargaming is making the ships before tier 8 intentionally average or bad do that people pay to skip them

[@2fat4airborne44]

As new design hits the game one thing gets very clear, at least for me. They just throw in designs with nothing but hope they will work out in some way. To keep the grind and the pay to early excess going. Its obvious to most players with open eyes and experience in random batlle and ranked, that a lot of ship arent really feasable. They could be, but they arent. As if there is no one with the knowledge of maps or meta (due to mechanics and actual mismatching meta ships against off meta etc.) and the reality the form in the different game modes. But at least some people seem to have fun with it and pay money like mad so i guess it wont change. Still....i dont think the random joe will grind that tree or if he does get shit on. Either by the enemy or his own team....

[@jammo7370]

What an elaborate april fools’ joke

[@stanleyhedlund1130]

A ship that belongs somewhere else not in here,so saaaad to see

Man, I really want some more of those camos / Flags... kinda poor after the Recent regrind.

[@kingmanta7679]

I have the T10,, its so niche` you need the right map the right distribution of ships to face,, , its so slow, no pick up at all and 2 or 3 shells can KO the ship. I wanted to like it- I just dont

please make video about how to play Kansas and Vladivostok

The right playstyle..... i don't have that.

[@ashleyphotog]

no, the sejong is garbage, it only works, if the other team are stupid enough to push into you, and even then that's not always the case

[@RaWBoy67]

During your rushdown on the Nakimov you never activated DefAA and complained about poor AA? I agree it probably wouldn’t have stopped the attack flight but it could stop some planes from making it back to him.

[@ggkavlos]

Harbin with the same camo and all the flags for xp with 2,5k i got 30k, i bet you could go over 50k with the 6 kill match

[@magnus_bd6185]

Current WG strategy for releasing a new line summarized: Release a new line in early access , encourage spending doubloons just to play the ships available for free later, make them OP until free access ends then nerf them when they get released to grind , make all the ships crap in the new line except T-10 !!!

[@mr.eggplant866]

Potato Head likes every ship. Also, does wargaming give CC's better ships or some type of advantage?

There is no bad ship's just bad player's, IMO.

[@MAGNO82]

It's time to stop play this game

[@The1Radakill]

Couldnt disagree more with 90% of this video. This ship is a disaster and a half, it is one of, if not THE most difficult ships to play in the game, you have to be mistake proof or your dead. EXTREMELY unforgiving. YOu have DD hit pts in a CA sized hull, with a citadel that anything in the game can hit from almost any angle. A mouse fart in the wind on mars will take half your hit pts, if your lucky. The guns are DD sized guns that again, are pretty much garbage damage unless you manage to get alot of fires. Your only hope is to either smoke or use terrain for cover, both have problems (players torping the smoke, CV's if your camping rocks.) The maneuverability is a nightmare, so is its detection radius, so you get spotted by EVERYTHING thats in range of your guns or torps. It takes forever to hit full reverse or fwrd so thats ho help either. The ONLY plus this ship line has is its torps, which IMO, are not even worth the agony of playing this disaster waiting to happen. If you like torps on a CA, play a mino, at least you get good DPM from the guns as well as good torps, and its much more forgiving than this garbage. Perhaps when this video was made you could run around and torp everything without getting your ass kicked in the first 3 minutes, but you try that John Wayne shit now your going to the bottom, end of story.
