Wisconsin in the Dockyard, USS Johnston and French DDs! - World of Warships - Clyde Plays News E050

[@Apollyon-er4ut]

James Hornfischer's "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" is likely the best book on the Battle of the Samar Straits, you will ever read (also on audible). Commander Evans (half-Cherokee, but all warrior) was posthumously awarded CMH. If they were smart, release in October at the 80th anniversary, with Evans as special commander with some kind of special skill. All history buffs (like me) would be all over this.

[@ClydePlays]

That would be sick. Don't laugh but I've only read the graphic novel of the tin can sailors - the real deal is still on my list. Maybe the audiobook is the way to go for me!

James used to play WoW before his passing. He was almost always in the USS Boise. His in game name was Neptune's Inferno, which happens to also be the name of one of his other historical novels.

In the future, I hope we get the variant of the Tillman class with 30 knots top speed with 12 16-inch guns with 152 mm/ 127mm casements, secondaries.

[@ClydePlays]

That would be rad.

[@sg_dan]

Thank you for the update on the game's development, Clyde! :D

[@ClydePlays]

Fo sho!

[@kc5qnb1]

Hooray! Way overdue! Thank you.

[@ClydePlays]

I was late! But its posted!

[@fenner1986]

I cannot even tell you how happy this makes me. I literally jumped outta my seat hearing this. I've been asking and pushing WOWS for Big Whisky since closed ALPHA. Hearing that it's going to be not only readily available, but actually affordable as well?! I'm over the moon, this Wisconsinite is getting plastered for celebration :P

[@fenner1986]

Also Asymmetric battles are perfect for grinding the tier 9 ship XP's. Much like operations are great for pumping out huge XP matches for tier 6-8, Asymmetric did that for tier 9. I usually save my large XP boosters for specifically those two modes because you have a better chance of hitting a large XP match rather than the randomness of randoms.

[@fenner1986]

Omg and I just got to the part where they are keeping track of container counts. That was my discord suggestion! They took it to heart! :O *faints*

[@ClydePlays]

Hey Fenner, sounds like this was a great set of updates for you. Glad you got some good news! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@janboen3630]

The accent was pretty good and you decently pronounced Cassard during that accent and the first try at Orage was good as well.

[@ClydePlays]

Hey Thanks Jan! I'll keep tryin' haha.

[@bigdoguk9845]

Need to catch you live Clyde, sorry been busy in real life.

[@ClydePlays]

No sweat BigDog - life is insane over here too...looking forward to a slowdown next month.

[@GulNadar]

Vees-bauden. I was stationed there.

[@ClydePlays]

Nice!

[@itztimz2362]

Johnston has got to get a hyper heal

[@ClydePlays]

That would be sick.

[@Thor_Asgard_]

wows is dead. subs killed it 100%. CVs were bad enough 😅

[@AiDecc]

But we have french destroyers already! We don't need more. More ships won't help the game. Removing some will (yes, subs, hybrids etc.).

[@garce7039]

Agreed, but removing ships doesn't make Wargaming money. Adding them does, so unfortunately we get the screw you stick once again.

[@ClydePlays]

Awww....but I'm excited about the new french DDs. :D

[@Chad-hp2qh]

So are you talking that will get 13.3 in June

[@ClydePlays]

We're getting 13.2 this week, I think, so we'll see 13.3 in a month and a half or so!

[@Dbars19]

Wargaming failing on the Johnston. Should have had French saturation and a super heal.

[@ClydePlays]

C'mon Wargaming - give us the saturation and superheal!

[@matthewcasady6276]

More bad french accent!

[@ClydePlays]

Haha, I mean, I can do it, haha. But should I?
