USS Congress first look - 77% of an Alaska

[@ag3nt_green]

Players love using their personal anecdotal damage numbers as proof of a ships quality. Damage is not the end all be all metric for evaluating a ships efficacy.

[@Caramella_Meako]

True, Flamu has a video on this, and he was mocking people in that video for saying, "But mr streamer you did 300k damage, ship good." For example, I personally had a 200k damage game in the pre-buff azuma, but that does not mean that azuma(at that time) was a good ship.

[@whereruaaron]

Bingo

[@Dogwatern00b]

Gamer turn executed flawlessly. Edit: The infographic is amazing and I love it. I watch the mini-map more than I watch my main screen.

[@babad1]

Saw this the other day, but forgot to leave a comment. Great supercruiser, love this playstyly. GG.

[@RJKuta]

The only time I have played against you as a loyal viewer and it had to end with you killing me, lessons learned don't get to close. Good game o7

[@whereruaaron]

Hahah nooo GG mate

[@TheLoops73]

I got the congress yesterday...loving it so far..hits pretty hard

[@whereruaaron]

Those guns absolutely smack

[@playerofgames619]

Damn I'm sad I missed out on this campaign! Hopefully it'll come to the store at some point!

[@dallasmann7904]

Apparently it's a super prize now

[@camrsr5463]

I think the mini map should have an option to enlarge it. Yes I am aware we can already do that but I think it still needs to be bigger. Or the map could be a full screen transparent background while you are in game. Does anyone have a hint or tip about how to make the mini map easier to see and use?

[@whereruaaron]

Yup and maybe bigger markers or something idk

[@Sacredsnow2]

I like the transparent overlay idea. As long as it toggles off when you go into the binoculars. I used to do that when I played smite and it was a godsend for my map awareness

[@iamsuzerain3987]

Idk it's just become 2nd nature for me and I find it easy to use

[@connertravanini773]

​@@whereruaaronand add sonar range, radar range, secondary armament range, and the aiming reticle on the map. Then I'd die happy.

[@ghettostreamlabs5724]

I wish we could zoom in on the minimap. For example, instead of pinging the map, have a different button to zoom in on a square(s) for 20 seconds.

[@ericmarincel2481]

I can’t decide if I want the Congress of spend all the event currency on Black Friday crates. Don’t have any tier 7 premium US cruisers, but I want the Atago B.

[@American-Made1776]

Can't wait to get to be honest, Thanks Aaron great vid!!!

[@moonytheloony6516]

Great review of the Congress. It's an appealing cruiser for sure. As mentioned prior, Tier 7 is already loaded with very good cruisers so not getting this ship isn't a detriment at all. It's more of the same of what one would expect from an American cruiser. I'm concerned that this game has hit its ceiling in creating intriguing ships that offer something unique or fresh. I wonder if we need an update/ campaign WITHOUT a ship reward for a change and instead have the update focused on new and/or improved maps, needed bug fixes that are priorities, and more supply-based regarding camos, boosters, insignias, promotion orders, etc. One map I'd like to see out there, which to me is the easiest one to design is an open water map...zero islands or land of any kind...just water and sky...it would make for a WWE Royal Rumble-ish experience.

[@whereruaaron]

You've got some great ideas man, WG might make you "disappear" lol

[@corbanheerdink5083]

I love the diagram you put there bro, niiiice. Very useful

[@rotarypower956]

I’m thinking about getting a bunch of crates instead of these ships. Both seem lackluster idk

[@wire_chaser1694]

I enjoy this ship. It’s fun when it works.

[@skylarsoper241]

I just smashed the treasure hunt , used all to buy Black Friday crates for the one you could get the uss mass , ended up with five ships Exeter black , le terrible black , west Virginia,and the Mackinson 🎉😂😊can’t remember the 5 one lol 😂

[@danieldoherty5695]

Loved it buddy..spot on review 😊

[@crhispy7078]

I got the yukikaze from the tier 6 crate, its torpin time

[@ajwisniewski133]

You devious dawg

[@whereruaaron]

Its clobbering time

[@dltafrc17]

basically what i understood from this video was, "Play smart and pay attention, and any ship will be "good""

[@frenchmustard08]

The salvos on this boat feel extremely inaccurate. Like it makes me wonder if they gave it good BB sigma or something because it is so inconsistent

[@wastelander89]

This reminds me of tulsa .a worse des Moines and congress is a worse Alaska but atleast congress makes better money

[@mangofactory9490]

Hey brotha just wanted to start out by saying you’re a great CC for Legends, keep killing it! So I switched recently from PS to Xbox and had to restart my account so I don’t have much for premiums anymore, although I did repurchase my Scharny and Nelson. so with that being said, if you were in my shoes, would you get the congress & or Repulse with this event currency or would you buy crates with quadrons (if so which crates) to chance getting premium ships? Thanks in advance for your input!

[@whereruaaron]

oof that's a tough choice. Probably Congress as the earnings are much better at T7

[@vincentthekeeper2163]

Its literally impossible for it to be a worse Alaska. They aren't in the same tier.

[@jasonaune6889]

Hey a a ron love your vids. I was just wondering should I run a torp build or a gun build on my Friesland? ❤❤❤. My Freind Brian does not know which one to run. Thanks. Lol. 😅

[@spursy1]

You should tell "Brian" to unlock Friesland's quad gun mode mode (it's a glitch). The only way to unlock it is to circle the far west island on the Two Brothers map. You much circle it 3X exactly.

[@romallama44]

I love when 7 of my teammates go sail around following momma duckling. Or they act like a bug to light with the kiting myoko because getting that one kill satisfies them entirely for the game Best of all is a Yudachi spawning at B cap and sailing full speed over to sit 2 km away from a Fletcher so it can “protect” him.

[@romallama44]

Then when u get in gamechat to say “Hey buddy we don’t need 2 DDs sitting next to each other in the same smoke screen outside the cap” get ready for an absolute Mount Vesuvius level explosion of derogatory insults to your inbox claiming they know better cuz they’re a “mature adult”

[@romallama44]

Update: just got dev struck in Congress at the 13:27 mark left in the game disregard all previous comments I’m brain dead

[@nolanriley9865]

Just learn to carry

[@whereruaaron]

Lmao

[@wastelander89]

Alaska only has 27mm upoer belt armor

[@USS_END3VOR]

I’ll be getting this one over repulse-ive. However, to your point, both ships are just…ok? Anyways, enjoy your Florida vaca.

[@whereruaaron]

More or less, Congress is certainly not bad but I have Alaska and Baltimore at T7, those 305s smack but I just don't quite see the fun if I have Alaska

[@human4559]

Do you recommend this ship or getting something else in the event?

[@Bcd31997]

I bought the repulse I was kinda not in the mood of getting another tier 7 that meets 2 to 3 Hayate's every match like I've been getting recently

[@whereruaaron]

I would get Repulse personally

[@JamesBond-zd5jx]

Pretty good ship at tier 7. Not at T8 like the Alaska and that’s really the key. Get a T6-7 game and you’ll do well. Get a 7-8 and it’s not going to go quite as well.

[@whereruaaron]

Yup she will destroy T6s

[@wastelander89]

I almost bought the repulse but i ended up buy black Friday crates woth quadrans .and got a few black ships

[@XReflexian]

I havent been able to get any high dmg games yet, usually i end with just under 100k (partially because of the "shoot the new ship syndrome" people have in this game), but i have been consistently ending up on first or second place of our team with the Congress. It can hit really hard, but too often you think you will hit hard but end up just tickling the enemy. The guns are also to easy to take out to my opinion. You already dont have many guns to shoot with so they should last longer then they do.

[@Zapranoth-lf8nt]

Already got Repulse…history, plus I already have Baltimore and Alaska

[@whereruaaron]

That would have been my choice

[@wastelander89]

Congress is play its just a 2 tiers down Alaska

[@Contreras1991]

People should not try to bow tank in this thing i had a Congress that tried to do this against my New Jersey lost 12k of health in one salvo

[@pmehndiratta0824]

It's a shame that the congress doesn't have the same above average heal that the alaska does

[@lukenukem1164]

Playing it wrong, I got 3 krakens in my first game.

[@whereruaaron]

Ah yes the ole anecdotal evidence lol. I hope this is a troll based off what I said in the video

[@lukenukem1164]

@whereruaaron ti's indeed a bit of anecdotal trolling. Ship looks OK, I won't be bothering with it tho...I have the Alaska which is 100 percent Alaska 🙂

[@lillpete64]

Also I tried a stealth build with AL Baltimore w/ ijn Mac and Swerski got my Detection down to 9.4 I think... Like a fucking thief in the night..😂😂😂

[@ayoub6977]

Change the title to "Florida man goofes around in the Congress ( goes horribly right )"

[@captainjanks9143]

Its due to your Magnetic personality...so they follow. Lol.

[@whereruaaron]

Lol

[@DeBlackWidow]

The Legend has proved it again everything is possible, GG man 🫡🫡🫡

[@kingmanchaz1]

Get it because 7/9 78% 😂

[@whereruaaron]

77.7777777777777777777777777777777777

[@Schmidthapnz13]

Gotta say not really being sold on either this or Repulse..🤔🤔🤔

[@bobfrog99]

Another just ok US cruiser that doesn’t do anything special when you already have several US options at the tier, and the tech tree cruisers are decent… Wichita CE remains my favorite

[@lillpete64]

Personally I like the boat not love but ya not to bad

[@Exiledz_]

alaska? 👀 facing t6 👀 with better radar than alaska? 🦅🦅🦅

[@ghettostreamlabs5724]

3 minutes without shooting? I've gone months without shooting. #IJN-DD4Lyfe

[@whereruaaron]

lol

[@vandemonian5412]

better get that looked at

[@lillpete64]

I'm gonna guess you're using Victor if you were using deeply you're fire issue would be solved to a degree

[@ajwisniewski133]

I’d argue 69% but 77 is passable. That 7/9 just feels so much worse than 9/9 ya know….

[@whereruaaron]

Agreed lol

[@depriest1993]

Solid beta performance. Not sure which I'm gonna pick up tbh. Neither are my cup of tea.

[@whereruaaron]

Listen here boi

[@greybeard8012]

Absolutely love how you mock your subscribers! Come back and watch more videos.😂

[@whereruaaron]

I mock anyone who tries to tell me how to play exactly how I explained (and played) in the video lol. I enjoy constructive criticism and we're all allowed to like/not like certain ships but when people try to tell me how to play a ship I just spent 20 games playing and 2-3 hours editing they get "the voice"

[@greybeard8012]

@whereruaaron I get the frustration. I just thought it came off as arrogant for streamer. To bash his own viewer base.. I watch the c c's livestream all the time. They literally have to answer the same question over and over. Because people don't listen and they're stupid. Appreciate the review it was a good one.

[@nateshaffer775]

First. 💪💪

[@whereruaaron]

THE GOAT

[@user-ov8cu5ff2y]

Honestly the ship is just boring to me so I went with repulse and don't regret a thing

[@deathx1030]

Legendary coming soon 🔜 I hope 🤞
