@@MalteseKnight haha, ofcourse, really good video. Don't worry, I was just kidding about Flamu. I like the shenanigans you two pull.

Could be an interesting video!

[@banditoo7]

Definitely needs an up to date video for those. Are they worth it now?

[@gonzalomartinezria5682]

So as for Luigi Sansonetti's broad pennant, that's the insignia of the Ammiraglio di Squadra in the Regia Marina. It is equivalent to the rank of Lieutenant Admiral.

[@MalteseKnight]

Thank You for sharing!

[@florind3214]

OMG,i had no idea you can redo missions,i worked like crazy to get commanders.This was very helpful

[@LpDanilo05]

Cool to have nice overview over all the unique commanders, their abilities and improved skills. What a i like the most is the Thumbnail, you can get the Commanders + Backround for most, but not for Halsey or Yamamoto (even Sansonetti?), so Malta HAD to create his own version, speaking of going the extra mile for his videos.

[@MalteseKnight]

Lmao, I did custom make the thumbnail in terms of Halsey, Yamamoto and Sansonetti :), that's why it might be a bit more saturated on the flags on those 3 :D

[@NotTheRookie]

Sansonetti has red shell tracers but a green flare. His tracers used to be tricolor, red white and green and thankfully they got rid of that really quickly. I wish the tracers were green, maybe we can get them to change it. Big fan!

[@MalteseKnight]

Oh yeah, they used to be the Italian flag!

[@Pepega_Ch]

why did people hate the tricolor tracer tho?

[@travelwell8098]

So glad I watched this..... I had no idea that you can repeat missions! This is huge!! Thank you very much for this video!!

[@rowinglove4ever]

I was trying more than a year to get my Yamamoto and after I see this video I got him in only two days! I didn't know I could do again the missions! Thank you!!

[@jezzae4962]

Günther Lütjens is also my favourite commander, I just like the fact that his talents are useful on all ship types and you pretty much always proc his talents, so I feel like I am always getting good usage from my investment into getting him.

[@MalteseKnight]

Indeed!

[@tazblink]

Oh my god I didn't know you could repeat missions. I have been stuck for weeks. Thanks a ton dude.

[@Swarm509]

The last tier 10 ranked season I decided to give the Hindenburg a try again (didn't like it after unlocking it months ago) and found myself loving how it is plays and the guns it so it might be time to give the ship a captain that can really synergize with the ship. It may take over Admiral Hipper for my fav ship in the game and I can transfer my rank 19 captain back down once I have Lutjens. I also play a lot of secondary premium BB's so Lutjens would transfer over very well.

[@mercygiven2649]

I had no idea you could do the star missions again. I'm going to be on track to get both campaign commanders shortly because of your advice. thank you

[@billmosz322]

Been looking for something like this for a long time. Love my Halland but have wanted Lutjens for a long time. would you recommend Swerzki over Lutjens?

[@maxreb88ify]

When subs come back Conq can flood them with depth charges :) Also, just got Luigi this week and mathed out to about 204k coal on my luck.

[@MalteseKnight]

Super Speed Conq?, Super Speed Incomparable? :P

[@csoplaymaker6125]

Thanks for your clear explanation of the legendary Commanders. Some legendary Commanders can buy it for 175,000 coal. Given that 175,000 coal is equivalent to the price of a top tier warship, This video will be useful for many users. I respect your dedication.

This video is exactly what Ive been looking for, the Uniques all in one explained. Thank you very much. But i have to ask, does Yamato seem very weak compared to the other uniques? Maybe they will give the Japanese either an upgraded Yamato or another unique?

[@MalteseKnight]

I think the one on Yamato is quite good, but it’s your choice between it or reload mod!

[@Gyphon]

Good vid. I've had them all for quite awhile and all "help". Would I trade some of them back for coal ships if I had the chance, probably not just for the fact that you only play a certain ship so often where as you can take that skipper and move him around to get the added benefits. Personal choice as stated. Thanks Knight.

the only thing lacking now is a video review of every tech tree tier 9 since we know you have them all in port. maltaPog mastaImagine fan BTW!

[@MalteseKnight]

Lmao

[@polak09876543211]

You can get 2 floods using Conq, either by ramming 2 ppl (pretty much impossible) or dropping depth charges on subs (they will be back soon for testing on live server) it also helps that UK has one of the best ASW planes iirc.

[@evanliu6889]

hey CC guy, what's your opinion on Gibraltar?

[@10469]

I’m sure life has you busy, but since you’re a generous person I was wondering if your able to make a video on the Legendary upgrades, your thoughts and builds. I’m sure the the players would take interest in this also.. thanks again.

[@frattuncbas]

Does ship needs their own country commander? Or you can use with all ships from every countries?

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

Note about Cunningham and Flooding: Pretty much any BB can trigger this as long as there are enemy Submarines in the match. One drop from your ASW plane is almost guaranteed to Flood the enemy sub if you hit them! No torpedoes necessary!

By curiosity how many special captain do you guyz have? I have Sansonetti, Yamamoto, Gunther and final mission (50k Exp) to get Halsey Jr. Special Cpt for coal at 175k but only 10pts I found it a bit steep, I wish it at least 15 like Yamamoto and Halsey. After 10 to 15 is not so hard to grind though, higher get painful to reach, my max is still 19 :( Cheers Cpts

i wonder what happens if someone gets 5 kills with yamamoto in harugumo. wouldnt that be crazy? i think its hard. i guess you have to fire 1.5k shells to get those kills, no? thats hard dude... pretty sure my excellent teams wont allow me to do that. maybe i need a div mate that dies to shima torps early...

XD

[@stopkins222]

Don't forget that you can get some kills with torps. Yep there is a long cooldown for them but you can send 12 fishes with 12km range that hits like a truck.

Getting Sansonetti is excessively hard/grindy. How many containers would it take on average to complete the collection? Does it matter if you use regular (coal) containers or premium ($) containers?

Around 170k coal on average

[@PyroGhaster]

Yamamoto's broad pennant is actually the OBS Studio logo, for some reason

You have to complete the box collection set in the armoury, each box cost coal, I think I got him for way less than 175k coal

I missed the italian lines where do you get Luigi he isn't in the armory

[@markortiz5980]

It's a reward for finishing the Resolute and Rapid collection. From port, go into the Armory and click the Containers icon. There you can purchase the R and R containers to complete your collection. To see how close you are to completing the collection, open the Profile menu and select Collections, then find R and R. Hope I wasn't being too simplistic. Just trying to be thorough in my explanation. Fair winds!

Lutjens heals 300xtier of ship per 3 ships spotted. It doesnt increase with the number of ships spoted. Its always the same per 3 ships spotted.

A ship or a Captain? A Captain in many ways is a new ship! Do you have a favorite ship that you play a-lot? Get a unique Captain for her! No regrets! I've got Jerzy Swirsky in my Oland because in tier ten battles it needs more help than does Oster or Halland: My point? Unique Captains are also great for lessor tier ships: My Oland is now a very unsuspecting and apt sleeper. People get overconfident against my seemingly weak Oland, they become lax, and die!

As. A new player having only 3 tier 5 ships for Dido tokens is tough!! How much max xp can you accumulate to get Gibraltar tokens!? 2000xp per ship? Someone help me out guys i really want Dido but spending 5000 gold just for Dido is maybe not worth it. Iam saving up my gold for Christmas gamble event. Anyway good video Maltese keep it up

[@horror11]

i think with tier 5 ships and as a new player u wont get over 1200 xp at max and with 3 ships u wont make it ever. its better to get multiple tier 5 and do dd, cruiser and bb from 200xp up to 600 xp first. when u have 10 tier5s its already 20 points for each class, then u sell them and do the next class . dds are the cheapest , then cruiser , then bbs dont waste time and credits with cvs unless u own already some and know how to play. the 200xp i did in coop to not waste to much time but 600xp is to hard in coop, so u have to do them in random. tier 5 are easy to get and when u sell them u dont lose to much credits unlike with high tier ships. if u do this u get the 50 points in about 2 hours, hope this helps.

complete off topic but did you notice WG's latest idiocy in trying us to link our social media with our Weegee Account? In Order to participate on the raffle for a t8 premium ship container you have to link your KZbin-Profile. Next you have to write something about your fav ship on social media containing a specific Hashtag. Also write a Comment under the Giveaway-Video, naming your Social-Media Profile. Following all these steps i give away my Identity publicly, in combination to my not so save KZbin-Profile that is linked to my wow's Profile where i have linked my credit card details... you get the point right? So the Comment Section of their Destroyer Video contains a lot of private info of tons of stupid people or children open for grabs, just because they didn't think twice.
