Put another way, the World's Best Swordsman probably has some idea how to fight whoever is i the number 2 slot. But the World's WORST Swordsman? Completely unpredictable, no way of knowing what the guy might do and, as we all know, 'if it; stupid and it works...". :)

On the 'Black Hole' strategy, my own theory is that it is kind of an 'unnatural selection' thing going on. A lot of Players keep getting killed fast when they go charging ahead, and so conclude that doing the opposite is the best survival strategy. OK, your side mightn't actually win, but individual you doesn't die in the first minute of the game either. Then too, in a 'Take The Base' game, keeping a big chunk of your fleet close to your own base can arguably be seen as a smart move - for the enemy to break through, they'll probably have to leave their own base mostly uncovered, and we all know how THAT can go.
@TbullGaming4 жыл бұрын
I don't dis agree with what you're saying, but two points: if a player cannot consistently stay alive longer than one or two minutes unless they hide out of range, they are playing at too high of a tier for their current skill level. And I would argue there is a difference between staying within range of being able to defend the base, and sitting in the base outside of range of the enemy for vast stretches of the game. If a battleship has no target the instant their guns load, they are out of position

Depends how much research you want to do. Watching PC reviews of ships is one good way. What you see in the console version is close to what you normally see in the PC version. You should research the ships themselves. We know WG uses citadel placement to balance ships. The armor arrangement, however, tends to stay rather static--though WG will jigger hull shell values for balance. We do need an armor viewer, but mostly to see how they're modeling the citadel--the armor is usually very close to what the ships actually had.

Love your videos but at 7:05 you’re not actually citadeling the Bismarck. You’re getting 5 regular AP pens. That’s the thing about the German BB’s. The turtleback doesn’t make you immune to damage at close range. You’re still going to take damage from AP pens. But against another BB? You likely would have seen an even HIGHER damage count from that salvo. A single actual citadel would have almost done as much damage. The turtleback armor is working there but a broadside at that range is going to result in heavy damage regardless. But if he DIDN’T have the turtleback? You would likely have killed him outright with that salvo.
@Aelvir1144 жыл бұрын
I honestly don’t understand why Vanguard takes a lot of damage. Which is historically inaccurate as she was literally an improved KGV. Bad enough Hood, Scharnhorst, and Gneisenau we’re TECHNICALLY fast battleships (only called Battlecruisers by the Allies because of their speed and notably Scharnhorst-class’ 11-inch guns). While she is difficult to turn with a 850 meter Turning Circle, her Rudder Shift is also a LOT slower than her on PC (which was 9.7 seconds btw) but even with upgrades and Skills and all that, if you get torpedoes on you, 9 times out of 10, you’re taking on or more of them guaranteed. While her Turning Circle is fairly common for T7, there are a fair amount of BBs that turn better, like Alabama and Monarch especially. I can’t fault them for the 850 meter turning circle though, as historically hers was actually 940 yards (859.536 meters), so she actually turns nearly 10 meters tighter so it’s a little generous, but given she shares the same Turning Circle in-game with the likes of Bismarck, Tirpitz, Richelieu, and Jean Bart, none of those ships take anywhere close as much damage as Vanguard (and that’s not even counting how easy she is to Citadel Hit either). My problems with Vanguard are the same with Hood. A large turning circle while being fast, but unnecessarily take way too much damage for its own good. I know they did that to Hood because battlecruiser status (but even though THAT is incorrect, the game erroneously states that she had “weak horizontal armor” which is blatantly untrue) and is treated as if she was Renown/Repulse who had very thin armor, whereas Hood’s horizontal armor was at least 12" when she was initially built and was designed armor-wise as an improvement over the QE's armor scheme, so 🤷♂️ she shouldn’t be so frail. The same applies to Vanguard with the KGVs, her armor was improved over them. Every time I run her it’s kind of annoying when it seems like her armor scheme is treated like as if she’s a battlecruiser, which she wasn’t.
