Wiesbaden - New T8 German Light Cruiser | World of Warships

The Wiesbaden is the newest Premium Tier 8 Light Cruiser. It has 16x 128mm guns. This video shows 2 games, played on Sleeping Giant and The Atlantic, where I showcase myself with my thought process on what happens in the match, and give insight on what I think of the ship.
Price: Available in the German "On the Banks of the Rhine" Premium Containers. Containers have a 2.5% chance of dropping Wiesbaden at 750 dbl each, but can be purchased at discount in consecutive bundles in the armory. If all consecutive bundles are purchased at total of 23975 dbl, the Wiesbaden will become available with a flag, 10pt captain, and 30 day boost for 1 credit.
This is actually a recorded video, and not taken from twitch. :D
I hope you enjoyed the video, and if did, leave a comment, like or sub. Also, if anyone would like to ask me question about the ship, you can join me on twitch/discord/youtube comments, and if anyone wants to know any of the builds I run for T8, T9 and T10 ships, they are available on discord, link below.

[@yah5o]

German here. Just here to confirm that pronunciation is spot on. But we usually set the emphasis on the first syllable. WIESbaden

[@EvoraGT430]

22,900 dubs for a T8 bomb wrapped in citadels that needs a separate cruiser Captain build? No thanks.

[@krostouin]

Not even worth 100 dumbloons

Good thing i got it for 75 lol​@@krostouin

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

For me, Wiesbaden is like if the Germans saw the Atlanta-Class AA cruisers and thought: "Why don't we make our own version." and the result is something interesting.

[@wastelander89]

This ship looks cool it reminds me of a hms dido and a Atlanta. Thanks for showing this ship it seems cool and new. Im glad you show cased it I had no idea this was even coming out

[@MalteseKnight]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@ivokr8]

The main thing I have picked up from this video is that I will from now on pronounce the name of that ship in all caps. Not Wiesbaden, but WIESBADEN!

[@MalteseKnight]

Lmao, exactly it's very important!

[@imperialtiger4716]

Lol he'll yea

[@michaelmcnally2331]

Seems to be the current trend, add a HE spam cruiser with DD level guns to all nations

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Well a light cruiser line for German tech tree would be nice having German HE pen

[@BIackCadillac]

Pretty uncommon actually... idk man.

[@michaelmcnally2331]

@@BIackCadillac Cruisers with HE DD guns Japan - Tokachi USA - Atlanta/Flint/Austin USSR - Smolensk Germany - Wiesbaden UK - Dido France - Colbert Italy - Nino Bixio Pan Asia - Rahmat, Chumphon, Harbin, Sejong, Jinjan and Dalian Commonwealth - Hector So 9 out of 13 nations now have them with this or roughly 2/3rd

[@pedrorodriguez5110]

Good job.

[@MalteseKnight]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@parvuspeach]

AA defense, maybe ....lol, spot on!

[@jacksonevoX20S]

hmmm Honestly I want it but, since Mainz dropped in crate, I'd opt for mainz still, 152mm and 6 second reload. also mainz have considerable armor

[@old_guard2431]

Atlanta. Rinse and repeat. Seems like a good ship. Would consider it if it comes in something other than the Las Vegas mode.

[@gr8oone007]

Screaming the name of the ship every time you say it should be the new norm on this channel 😂😂

[@PaddyW_]

Pronunciation is fine. Even the screaming is correct because we Germans scream all the time 😂 Kappa

[@old_guard2431]

Emphasis should be on the first syllable, but otherwise pretty tight.

[@broadsidedarth7801]

I saw the thumbnail and spit out my coffee. "Wtf? German Atlanta?"

[@eich3nlaub]

Absolutly correctly spoken. I play this ship with full AA Build and it makes really sense. Very strong AA. Don`t forget the strong AP.

[@damekh7425]

How exactly can you be that close to two Battleships in the middle of sleeping giant and both of them decide to not shoot you ? That´s fortunate.

[@CaptCondor]

a friend teased me into getting the coal containers for this thing and low and behold, I got it from the 2nd one. So 30k coal for a t8 premium. it's decent to play and can be fun depending on MM, but not something that one needs to have, especially considering the price and drop chance

[@nelsonciprian5403]

Getting it!

[@antlerman7644]

WarGambling

[@Rio_1111]

Your Pronounciation of Wiesbaden is almost perfect. The "Wies-" is perfect, and for the "-baden" you could stress the a less and almost don't pronounce the e. Big Fan btw

[@riseandshinejp]

I remember when you could get T8 ships for $15 each on black friday. Atago and Scharnhorst.

[@david7458]

Where are the containers for this ship? I don't see them.

[@Renegade1987.]

Would love to see you play Hayate and , what is your opinion after the buff

[@MalteseKnight]

I haven’t played it yet since it got buffed, might try it.

[@thegreatdodo5092]

Weird to see the next city over sailing the seas..

[@Nc-en9ce]

I think one more ship can compete with this one is Anchorage. 32pen HE+hydro, similar fire chance per min.

[@FormulaZR]

I like the idea of a KM Flint w/ 32mm pen. Just...not at that price.

[@martinlisitsata]

how many atlantas do we even have nowadays !?

[@NavytroyXIV]

I would love to see another German cruiser line, either heavy or light

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Light cruiser line would be nice to have with the standard German HE pen and good reload maybe a line of weisbadens

[@eiresby2344]

the current line is heavy so we need the light or super/large cruiser

[@mangotapu]

I got it in the first container do it was cheap AF, the ship is kind of fun.

[@jamesmcmanus1206]

German Atlanta go brrrrrrr

[@kavzz918]

$100AUD+ for a T8? HA! That's atleast 12 Subway footlongs.

[@sarduchehivalshan4265]

Now YOU are a player with the correct priorities.

[@shironee_2384]

So t8 German Flint?

[@landochabod7]

With 15 km range and 32 mm stock HE penetration.

[@asdsafasf3]

shouldve given it a torpedo reload booster. wouldnt have made for a huge buff but itd make it a bit more unique at least

[@jackaubrey2230]

It reminds me the japanese cl Tokachi

[@kaibischof8793]

Yes. Wiiiieeesbaaaaden 😅

[@astralechat5994]

Before watching the video, I knew I would not buy it even if it was great. Then went to the question, would I buy a premium at all ? Well, maybe le hardi. I already have tons of ships that I have no time to play including never played salem and kearsarge... I went to check my account and found 29 premium or special ships with 1-3 games played... The concept of buying a premium is now foreign to me, what would be the point of getting one ?

[@johnfranktullo3463]

Wow that’s like 65 dollars plus ? No thank u unless I get a happy ending massage after each play thru

[@krostouin]

Description says 16 guns, but I guess this is typo for 12 ?

[@stevel6446]

I guess im one of the lucky ones, bought 1 box that had 90% discount for 70dubs on it and opened it and it was the ship.

[@richardwroblewski8458]

I got the ship for around 1000 gold. I got lucky with the random draws

[@alexander3364]

An AA Cruiser without default DFAA is just sad man... You have trade Hydro for it like... why? San Diego have both of them like what happen, did the sailor protest so you don't have enough crew to manned both the hydro gear and the AA gear?

[@wastelander89]

They did the same thing on wows console for san Diego 750 dubs for a chance to get her but it would of been 50k dubs to get her 100 percent chance. I ended up getting lucky and getting san Diego in the first crate. But some people on console actually spent 50k dubs

[@andrewjohnson5365]

Skipped the San Diego but ended up pulling it as a superprize out of the Santa containers absolutely mind boggling why anyone would spend 50k dubs on her.

[@MrSimanator]

just got it on my first chest for 75 doubloons xd

[@dcross6360]

Got it in 2 tries in armory

[@OiiRobbi3x]

WIESBADEN!!!!!!!!!!

[@jwortelboer77]

Why Grease the gears in the captain built?

[@MalteseKnight]

No other useful 1 point skills.

[@eiresby2344]

@@MalteseKnight EL might be better since her reload is 6sc so when no one spotted your gun probably on position and if you have he ready then spotted enemy broadside which good to change to AP. but i agree no something good enough t1 skill left

[@rexatimperator]

While other nations have their own ultra light cruisers, why not Germany. Japan has Takashi, Soviet has smolensk, France has colbert, China has Dalian, us has santiago/Atlanta , uk has dido

[@solidtoto]

Too bad, I hate Mainz so I was looking forward to get that ship. But that price, nah bro.

[@riseandshinejp]

Krautlanta

[@napoleonsnoepje8839]

i just opened one for case for 75 doubloons and iNSTA GOT IT XD

[@cristianmicu]

so the mainz is a heavy compared to this, and mainz is not heavy at all

[@Towboatin]

Seems like a good ship and particularly strong at supporting friendly destroyers, but it's a hard pass because of wargaming loot box gimmickry.

[@wolf986]

I had 4000 doubloons or so, and it allowed me to buy 12 containers I think it was? Got it on container 11, so little less than $20, but got my doubloons through refer a friend :) FREE

[@suburbanview]

Not german here, your pronunciation is spot on! Actually, my GF was half-German, that's what my father told me LOL Not going to take a DNA test for 200 doubloons LOL!

[@lawrencewells2719]

WEEGEE trying to rip people ..but people know this is the way..lol....T8 cars against T10 sucks.. Nice vid FALCON bro.

[@teni1760]

Tell WG to make 69 seconds reload on torps

[@Icechuck]

Pulled it from my first crate, so grateful that it was functionally free given I had the doubloons from random crates. Enjoying it so far, still trying to figure when to shoot HE vs AP.

[@cristianmicu]

15: harbin has a heal? negative!!!! tho i needed to check in game to make this comment

[@cristianmicu]

i thought the e is not heard almost at all with correct pronounciation, but i'm not german native, just an amateur just heard germans speaking here and there, tourists, tv and youtube news and such, so my opinion was wrong

[@satyrangel2730]

i just won this in a first crate call me lucky..

[@TheArmouredArmadillo]

Big fan. Ship - want Price - hell nah Gamble - also nah. Camo - why man, just why. The team change with the move out of russia is well documented, but at the very least copy and past like the Mainz camo akd change the colours a bit. Also still want heals on these lol, but oh well, can cope without

I have money, but Im not buying every ship WG release, unless I have no other life but buying VIRTUAL shit, I mean ships. I Bearably play 5 or 6 ships of the 150 I have. And they are all for free. The only one I bought was Roma, and that was because my BD, after a few beers LOL I dont even buy Premium time, Ill get it for free here and there from WG, and free doubloons that I just stack until I need them. FREE IS GOOD!

[@davesskillet9235]

wees-baad-en there phonics might help you pronounce this word. Sadly you cannot apply other permanent camos. use the speed flag and torpedo booster in the gear.

[@Nepturion88]

Wiesbaden is an up-tiered light version of Weimar really...

[@MartialEmperor6344]

Weimar is a really good ship..man hope WG releases a light cruiser tech tree line of weisbadens or Weimars

[@Karnsteinchen]

Small nitpicky correction, AL Littorio wouldn't have SAPed you anyway, since it's a Roma clone and thus only has HE+AP, so no SAP. Except for that nice video, as my fellow Germans already said the pronunciation wasn't too bad and the sales strategy for this ship is just meh. Imho no ship is (or ever should be) strong enough to make you bet money on gambling crates.

[@MalteseKnight]

You're right, would've had to be Veneto hahaha, my apologies for that.

[@Karnsteinchen]

@@MalteseKnight no need for apologies, honest mistake and given the amount of ships in the Game and WG mixing up features and gimmicks over the last few years something that could have happened to anyone except the one or two absolute wowsnerds on the planet gifted with photogenic memory

you pronounce wiesbaden right, but you dont need to scream it xD if you want it perfect put the emphasis more on WIES and less on BADEN but just say it in your normal tone xD sound strange when you scream it xD

[@TheL0vecake]

Put up the price so they make more money, but because they want more money, i will NOT buy it......

[@j_Snow]

This is why the dockyard didn't fooled me, 22,900 dubs on a explode when observed cruiser is demented

[@thegeneral123]

Light cruisers in 2024? Lol, do WGing play their own game? I bet this will appeal to a lot of 42% WR players who will get one shot most games.

[@BasJon]

Also Maltese I didn’t hear you say it could of been for coal, let’s face it WG are becoming cheap skate fckers of late they hardly ever release steel or coal ships anymore, so pretty sad that the 2 most important in game currency’s, don’t mean shit any more if you are a long time player.

[@bikeguy3034]

Have shitloads of money & Mainz, and no interest in buying it 😁

[@user-uf5vi5mg9e]

Nice ship. But nobrainer skip cause WG aims for the Wehraboos to sell their kidney again.

[@RenYi_Abarai]

So its FOMO and never comes back? Typical WG......

[@jakubslavik5595]

You need to scream more when pronouncing the name.
