🥇Legendary Effort. love the sidenotes XD Unusual it's locked at 360p for you, definitely should be rendered to 1440p PS sorry I butchered the Russian language. I'll practice more XD

[@MilesK1308]

@@CmdrTyrael did you forget about Italian coastal fleet, or is there just nothing worth mentioning there?

[@CmdrTyrael]

@gugbug1308 I forgot to mention Italy but that's mainly due to only having 2 premiums available for GE. The sparviero is A pg-02 with 76mm, which i think is LESS effective than the japanese version. Fologa is survivable and decently armed, but not enjoyable to play IMO. There is an MC590 Freccia available on the market place but its expensive iirc and sits at 4.7 which is obscene for a 40mm armed gunboat.

[@B2Pproduction]

The Wilkinson is my favorite as the fire rate makes viable all the way to 7.0 I ran it there a few time and survived till the end with good use of smoke screens. Setting people on fire with HE and my secondaries firing HEVT. It's a great deal of fun due to not overheating letting you rain on the enemy.

[@ansongarcia4747]

I like the pr 12412. It one shots alot of other boats like the pg 02 and pr206 and it gets the coastal spawn. Not a bad way to grind the ussr coastal fleet. Pair it with the spookonyy and blaggorodny and you can win almost every time.

[@CmdrTyrael]

Just a casual Sunday Video, any errors?....forgive me. Le Orla is an Irish ship for example I also just realised The Prinz of Pain is now 6.0.... interesting change....

[@cobbleturd6978]

my heart cried out when you said that, but all is forgiven

[@cobbleturd6978]

Great video there, but with me Irish pride I must cry when you call the LE Orla spanish, the closest to spanish as it gets is its boarding of illegal spanish fishing vessels

[@CmdrTyrael]

My bad, I realised after upload I made a few minor mistakes. I think it's because my daughter was watching some kids movie about a Bull 🤣 Le Orla is Certainly not a Spanish Galleon 🤣

[@thelasthussar]

Great vid! I was thinking about Des Moines/Eguen/Zhelaznikov, not rly sure what to go for. Btw, im like 30k from Bayern, any video about it coming any time soon? Kaiser kind dissapointed me with guns preformance (or its just a skill issue for me haha) so i hope the 3.8cm will be better. Keep up the great work!

[@CmdrTyrael]

I plan on covering the new Saschen which is basically a Bayern. I've just unlocked the Bayern herself just the other day. (Waitied for the SL sale to buy it)

[@questionmark05]

Thanks for doing this during the sales, during the steam summer sale, I almost bought the USS Des moines for 50% off but 44ish AUD was still a bit much.

[@CmdrTyrael]

Glad I could help!. I agree that's almost enough for a new game title

[@lasombra120680]

Rumor has it the Des Moines is going away so I grabbed it for 50% off. Had the Newport News ♠️ and Talisman so it's extremely familiar. Also, HE shells print SL's in it.

[@CmdrTyrael]

I have heard that too. That means both ships would be almost inaccessible. Which is disappointing. No doubt the market price for Newport will increase if that's true.

[@snikrepak]

Got the des Moines, the thing prints credits, pair on the big guns, AP and lower guns he.

🥈I totally missed Italy. It's a common theme for me 🤣 I might release an Italy one quickly as an addition

[@adanlindfield8229]

@@CmdrTyrael also Russian costal

[@4C0-q7h]

Am going to buy Mostly costal ships for the soul purpose of grinding the Techtree, the grind is more painful than air/helicopter

[@CmdrTyrael]

Most certainly is a long haul for some nations. Others aren't so bad. The new RP bonus award for damage is somewhat useful

[@iretrixi9252]

Good video, but... Italy Coastal? Did I miss it? What about the Folaga @ 1925 GE and Sparviero @ 1925 GE?

[@CmdrTyrael]

I did forget to mention Italy ( a habit of mine 🤣) but for all intents and purposes the Sparviero is a worse Pg-02 and the Folaga is survivable but not to my liking.

[@iretrixi9252]

@@CmdrTyrael Ahh gotcha. Thanks bud

[@sagand]

still very useful video, although update for the new ships added during last year would be great or maybe some talisman candidates?

[@CmdrTyrael]

Not a bad idea, I'll have a look tomorrow 🫡

[@satnav9699]

Can we have a update on this for the current sale ?

[@CmdrTyrael]

This was made only a few months ago, for the bday sales and is still relevant. Imo

[@Always_Sulkie]

Hi Cmdr. Tyreal, I got the pg 02 after this video and I can say its the most fun I have had in a coastal boat so far. I also got a question how did you get the skelleton decal thats holding a sickle because it looks awesome

[@CmdrTyrael]

Great to hear!, the skeleton decal can be found in the British Aviation decals and can be earned by getting a certain number of kills in a Spitfire iirc. I took that decal early in the game as my personal insignia. Feel free to wear it and tell your enemies I sent ya. 🫡🏴‍☠️

[@Always_Sulkie]

@@CmdrTyrael thank for letting me know how to get it, and i will let them know o7

[@charlzgormanov8430]

Great videos. I have your site set on my Notifications so I keep up with your latest videos.....

[@CmdrTyrael]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ousou78]

28:40 I got Yubari in the Warbon shop and out of the 8 vehicles I got thanks to the Warbon shop, that's the only one I regreted getting. I didn't spend 1a cent on it but I still felt scammed. I pitty those who actually spent money to get it.

[@CmdrTyrael]

I'm glad to hear my gut feelings were shared by others

[@4C0-q7h]

33:38 if you fellow Sea Captains are planning on buying the ship Geniere; i highly suggest pairing it with the Hungarian BF109 F-4/G-2 Or the BF 110 as it will enable you to grind Challenges and Event such as operation winter or Summer. Edit: Also its a great SL/Wager grind, was able to get 6 mil SL from playing it, and nearly enough to have free Ace

[@CmdrTyrael]

That's a really good tip. I forgot to mention that you could use aircraft to make your lineup "Rank 3"

[@Secret-gn5pf]

Great vid! Quite informative and useful.

[@CmdrTyrael]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sneakyfishiix8014]

When they start giving them AK-100 and AK-130 they will be completely overpowered in gun fights

[@kqiesaw.9385]

The production quality of this video is insane.

[@sultanmcmillan]

I got 10K GE to spends on some prems vessel this anniv discount. Such like PT thunderbolt, PG02, sparviero, n Blagorodnyy And the rest i got some italians ground for me to grind events

[@CmdrTyrael]

That's a nice spread of vehicle across the nations. No doubt you will make progress through those lines.

[@sultanmcmillan]

@@CmdrTyrael oh, i sure will do

[@sultanmcmillan]

*Update!* I played my PG02 last match and have like 13K damage on naval target. They nerfed the score heavily on the coastal boats When they said they gonna nerf score for smaller boats, i thought they mean in the larger ship like a destroyer. Not a boat-to-boat fight The result is 13800 damage and i only got like 1900 score *i want to send my screenshot to the discord but it's hella complicating This winter event is gonna make us suffer so bad to grind naval!😂

[@kensharman508]

Excellent guide. Italian coastal?

[@igorzarubetsky4065]

Le Orla not Spanish ship, it' Ireland one

[@CmdrTyrael]

Yeah I knew I got something wrong, my bad. Apologies

[@NESSUN-0]

I would like to ask you for help. I would like to start playing ships because I am interested in American and Japanese battleships. Which of the 2 countries do you recommend? The Yamashiro is a good ship right? What do you think is the best premium battleship at 6.7?

[@CmdrTyrael]

For battleship gameplay Japanese are competitive with powerful guns and decent armor. I cant recommend Yamishiro as I am yet to play her or the Fuso.

[@OokamiSan4]

so, which of the japanese Ships is most valuable? wich one is most worthy of their money?

[@CmdrTyrael]

@OokamiSan4 depends what you want to do. Grind coastal or Bluewater or just want an SL printer.. I made it pretty clear my favorite is Myoko.

[@OokamiSan4]

@@CmdrTyrael ok thanks. didnt really hear that out, i probably was istracted.

[@CmdrTyrael]

All good mate. PG-02 for coastal and Myoko for Bluewater are my picks

[@nicholasleon7819]

me mate dougie

[@questionmark05]

Des Moines has disappeared from the store after the latest update.

[@CmdrTyrael]

Yep all gone

[@questionmark05]

@CmdrTyrael sorry kinda new to premium ships. Will it be back at all?

[@CmdrTyrael]

Gaijin usually bring notable vehicle back from time to time. Across all modes. I expect des moins will probably be replaced by a tech tree version (as there are 3 including newport news as an event vehicle)

[@RickStralen]

Whats the music called

[@CmdrTyrael]

Intro music is "Three sheets to the wind" main review is "Jubilee" both tracks by Australian Composer Scott Buckley.

[@وسيمالشيرواني]

I want to F2P grind soviet naval, is it good for grind? May goal is to get sl from naval, how is the F2P soviet naval? I can grind germany navy or the soviet, what is the best to get sl by F2P???

[@CmdrTyrael]

Soviet, USA and German bluewater are all competitive nations. All nations have very high SL rewards modifiers after T3. But for beginners I would recommend Soviet or USA.

[@وسيمالشيرواني]

@@CmdrTyrael yes i am a beginner, and i only play F2P, so I'll follow your recommendation and play soviet, thank u so much bro.
