Wichita is back! Should you buy the new version?!

[@ivanovitchivanovsky8255]

Man I remember when the Wichita campaign first released. She so powerful and could tank so much with her armor. Back then there wasn't that many people with tier 7 BBs so you could absolutely go ham... now there are so many 16" guns in a match that you kinda have to keep a distance or you be deleted. Unless WG gives god tier MM then you can absolutely wreck the enemy. Still love her as she was my first campaign ship.

[@TOMMYBOY601]

The new shell grouping makes me feel like Scott is mandatory

[@jameswithey8898]

I run Scott with mibelli and Madden... 7.4 sec reloads with punch through is a beast

Yup

[@TomTheSurgen1]

Humm, I’ve not got the OG to compare, but I’ve been loving it. Not found it inaccurate at all and I’ve found the AP to be savage. Got a vid of it taking 40k out of a steeply angled mushashi in 60 seconds

[@tweedledoh241]

I like having my og ships recognized

My Wichita has 7.4 sec reload on my Scott build

Wish they would have added for GXP, 17,500 doubloons is expensive lol

[@whereruaaron]

Yeah I would save it for the JB or something they might add in the future

Good… keep it rare. There’s something to be said for that. EDIT: “sort-of” rare.

[@michaelvanasse5767]

I have played with and against those 3 on a few occasions. I will say I prefer to be ON their team lol. I almost pulled the trigger on Witchita, but decided against it. I am currently saving for the Kutazov instead.

[@DrkWing290]

I wonder if you had used “punch through” would the AP have been more effective…? GREAT VIDEO with the narrative, Double A! 🤜🏽 🤛🏼

[@limitedgunny7414]

That last grouping on the jervis was mint!

[@lillpete64]

2 things that came to mind Aaron the Baltimore has a super heavy AP and the Witcher does not.. I think running Scott As an inspiration would help with grouping no?

[@romallama44]

Wichita’s ability to bully the smaller gunned BB’s, great HE, radar, fairly accurate guns even with the new grouping/This Wichita’s worse grouping, and as an added bonus American cruisers like u said can use Scott as the commander, saving an inspiration spot which can make a difference with a high level commander. It’s AP from close range can really rip too. It’s an average-good ship but it’s not built for huge damage games but u can be extremely useful to your teammates. A well played Wichita can really help your team

[@romallama44]

Although the 16 inch guns overmatching everything makes seeing those tier 7 American BB’s the boogeyman

[@angusmackay7281]

The Wichita AP has always been poor compared to Baltimore, it's more HE focused. I use Scott for grouping/ EOP, Kuznetzov for range and Roux to up the HE damage, which is a pretty solid build. Sometimes I swap out one of them for AL Baltimore if I want to be more agile. Great play, as always.

[@whereruaaron]

So as mentioned in the video...this is not the original Wichita and has completely different AP, as mentioned and shown at the end

[@matthewbryant483]

When i play certain destroyers, i really get out in front of the team for spotting and capping purposes. I'll ping ships that i want off the board all day long because they are a direct threat to me. Sometimes without firing a single salvo. I know if i lose my concealment, I'll be back in port rather quickly.

[@caseysehon5696]

I knew you'd make a video out of this. Definitely well played on your part

[@whereruaaron]

Yeah didnt have much time and this was a pretty good game

[@maxwalker4326]

I'll b honest here,, I was waiting and waiting for this ship to be available,, but if they are going change the stats but nit on the original then why would I waste my money? it's not the same ship if it will be nerfed and the original is not nerfed .. guess I'll pass on this, I should've been around whn it was in campaign..

[@lillpete64]

Also I've found Baltimore special perk hurts especially when running yama for ap pen I would swap out Mims for Scott and turn off her special perk

[@FLYBOY409]

Old Wichita is HE friendly but new Wichita is more AP friendly with the exception of the new ricochet angles and the grouping of the shells but love the paint on the new Wichita.

[@maxwalker4326]

why not just give it a different name,, different stats equals different ships, right? I'm salty about it

[@FLYBOY409]

@@maxwalker4326 Unfortunately in real life this ship is the only boat of its class built by the US navy with no sisterships. For more info check Wikipedia.

First thing first always love ur content aaron.👍Maybe my opinion is wrong but in my opinion now that I see Musashi in my tier 7 lobbies it's like facing legendary teir all over again.so why bother make tier 8

I'm sure they'll bring her back if anyone miss to get this boat.

[@vacumviovana8801]

I don't think anything in a videogame is worth that much money

[@Pigeon249]

When i have over 1000 hours in a game that a most of the time enjoy i dont mind spending some money on it but 17000 for one ship is stupid. I usually buy stuff on offer or in bundles

[@permafrostinsanity1799]

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pissed that WG would throw a nerfed Wichita at us and not sell us the original campaign ship, regardless if its OP. I’m buying this new one, just to fill the roll for when I need it in research slots, since there is no chance of acquiring the original ship. I’m curious as to why the original Wichita is CE and not Jean Bart or Ochakov, but some how it included Somers and Mainz in the CE mix?. Nevertheless, I’m sure somewhere down the road Jean Bart and Ochakov will return as nerfed ships and many more players will be disappointed.

[@cheese5719]

I enjoy the Wichita, but for me the Balti is king cruiser at T7

[@whereruaaron]

THE KING

[@gritty486collie8]

I wondered what the CE stood for.

[@wastelander89]

Aaron is it just me or do all the ships or most of them feel way less accurate then a year ago never mind 2 years ago?

[@miguelsl5417]

This wichita is worse than wichita CE, very expensive too.

[@CallsItLikeISeizeIts]

So how does it compare to The other US T7 Cruisers? Doesn’t seem worth 17k Dblns

[@Braindamagedpotato]

Smoll Baltimore

[@Kenneth_McGrew]

No... why would you buy a watered down version? WG should just sort the original out, im not paying for a gimped version while everyone else runs around in the other version.

[@hunterschill961]

Dawg target lock fs is messed up now that you say that I’m realizing how broken it really is

[@HayzeGaming]

Try a full salvo once in a while just your main turrets is doing good damage try full salvo for maximum damage

[@whereruaaron]

Damage done/accuracy has nothing to do with single fire or full salvo. Also I dont think I single fire a gun but once or twice when a turret got knocked out

[@HayzeGaming]

@@whereruaaron so your saying shooting 2 rounds into a citadel would do as much damage as a full salvo into a citadel? Sorry but your wrong.

[@HayzeGaming]

@@whereruaaron I'd mention accuracy but I didn't all I said wouldn't it be better to fully salvo them then just with your main turret and yes it would do a lot more damage a full salvo vs just 2 main turrets I was thinking of getting the wachita but I don't know so I want facts as your the only one who put up a wachita relaunch

[@GoBackToPort]

Quite likely we’ll see Jean Bart come back as a nerfed version, whilst the original is CE

[@maxwalker4326]

This bothers me,, so if we missed the Witchita campaign then we can't the ship?? The real one,, not a watered down version 😞

[@GoBackToPort]

@@maxwalker4326 basically yes, luckily I got the original Witchita but it’s quite likely they’ll bring back campaign ships nerfed to their superior counterparts

Oh bro you are not the only one fucking with ships accuracy to balance in this game is beyond irritating when everything already relies on RNG

[@captaingigg1eshitz382]

It’d probably be good practice for the community not to buy any of these rereleased nerfed campaign ships. Don’t reward WG for selling crap.

[@whereruaaron]

TBF its not "crap" but its also far from the original version

[@captaingigg1eshitz382]

I didn’t particularly mean the ship itself is crap but nerfing and rereleasing ships for an exorbitant price tag is.
