World of Warships: I Finally Got The Nakhimov!

[@Aerroon]

You guys weren't kidding about the Nakhimov rockets

[@afjsns]

little fun fact about Nakhimov rockets btw - if you do the attack run, the planes fly a tiny bit faster with boost for some reason

[@viruzcity5726]

Good tip is that you should always start your attack early on the Soviet carriers since the planes take far less damage from everything after the aim becomes green. Carriers take reduced flak damage after their aim becomes green, while if it is the last drop of a strike Aircraft just takes reduced damage in general, that is one of the reasons the Soviet Aircraft are more durable than they look

[@itsReiWoWS]

This is why I like to add rocket plane HP and rocket plane squadron attack timer upgrades. I find them to be the best tool for slapping any large ship with ease, more than the skips. As for the attack timer upgrade, her squadron goes faster during the attack run (like theseus attacks) but it's a preference with TB speed

[@Cresc3n1]

Yup told you these rockets are crazy

[@jamesharrington001]

Don't forget, she gets all the hidden damage reduction for the last attacking flight on CV's with her planes. Personally I find Nahki is a little over tuned for the game, only because she gets to attack with full squadrons. Especially with the fact that they are player controlled planes flying aginst AI controlled AA systems with RNG flak for only really doing damage.

[@clmwrx]

It's so damn hard to shoot any nahk planes down before they get strike off. Could be a super balanced cv if you could affect the strikes better. Like damn if only Def fire scrambled drops or something

[@jamesharrington001]

@@clmwrx I'd settle for AA not resetting when they start the attack run. Seriously, watch it next time, a CV enters your AA, you fire, it starts the attack run and your AA stops firing for a second or two before starting up again. In that 1-2 seconds of no AA, the Naka can strike you with things like skip bombers. As for the torps, well, they have such a tight spread it's kind of bonkers, like you can do bow on drops and still hit with a couple of torps. And the rocket planes... I hate they get Tiny Tim levels of pen and damage per rocket, but launch so many more rockets due to the full squadron thing.

[@orks_media_relations1876]

I’ve been following since way back to the podcast, but you’re so good at mixing this entertaining commentary with teaching useful lessons. I just want to thank you.

[@Aerroon]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@bLock_c1pher_Gaming]

whatta an attack run on that BB WOOOW!!! I'm so glad you posted this munster game. Have a great weekend Aerroon and take care.

[@Aerroon]

Thanks, you too!

[@stephen1r2]

I like how the thumbnail for this video shows off the Nakhimov's rustbucket glory

[@Adam_smash3r]

Honestly the damg on this ship is ridiculous, I remember taking out 37k out of harikryuu just from the rockets alone lol

[@Percival7116]

The rockets are the best part of Nahk. Everyone looks at this line and sees the skip bombers, thinking they’re the best armament. In actuality though, the rockets are by far the best one to use for Pobeda and Nahk. At t8 and above the armor for a lot of ships just makes the skip bombs shatter, so the rockets tend to deal more damage over the course of an average game. Nahk is also the only cv I use to grind for ribbons and fire damage missions since it throws so much shit at the wall.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

Aquila is the best for ribbons. You end up with hundreds of rocket hits. Indomitable is also great for getting spotting damage.

[@anthonyware4033]

Nice video again Mr Aerron. I had something funny happen while I was in my Shima lastnight. I was trying to take a cap and about 20 seconds into me capping the counter stopped. I saw a smoke screen, so I sent all 15 8KM torps into the smoke screens direction. 15 seconds latter I got First blood, 2 destinations and a double strike lol. It was toooooo funny. I have never done that before. I took out 2DDs about 2 minutes into the game.

[@Aerroon]

Woah, double strike is real nice!

[@whiplash-u6m]

Congrats on the Nakhimov. Really appreciate the positive attitude on the channel !!

[@Aerroon]

I appreciate it!

[@Elkatook666]

"Knock-im-ov" -er with the ordinance coat, wheres my coat

[@Kyle-ir3bz]

Just got the Pobeda. Havin a blast with the rockets and skip bombs.

[@Owen-np3wf]

I'm pretty sure a perfect strike with the Nakhi rockets is around 26k, its pretty crazy considering you can get 2 or 3 fires as well. Perfectly balanced comrade!

[@janseger1693]

Thank god it´s fryday and an other Aerroon video is out

[@Aerroon]

I'm glad you enjoy!

[@dzello]

Nice, you got it before its Unique Upgrade is added to the game.

[@Aerroon]

Nahhhhhhhh. You're telling me she's getting a unique upgrade too?! Jesus.

[@dzello]

@@Aerroon Alexander Nevsky and Admiral Nakhimov are the next Unique Upgrades to be added to the game.

[@dantunsoiu7177]

As long as you don't get a super DD/SS heavy game or with light cruisers Nakimov is an absolute beast, the bigger the enemy ship, the better

[@clmwrx]

This cv is just broken period. Plus any cv can ruin dd's day by spotting alone. Doesn't even have to do direct damage.

[@dantunsoiu7177]

@@clmwrx I tend to agree, but I would argue that in a DD heavy game Audecious is better, but that is the only scenarion in which Nakimov isn`t super broken

[@clmwrx]

@dantunsoiu7177 well yea some may be better at direct damage but the point still stands on the spotting. Spotting really really ruins torp and hybrid dds. Of course not the gunboats staying detected a lot already

[@clmwrx]

@dantunsoiu7177 cv with skip bombers fare decently at striking dds it seems. Immelman can be a pain too. Well hell all the cvs are painful. Just have different pain points. I kinda laugh when people act like subs are so bad or the worst. Subs are nothing compared to cvs

[@Ricardowieringa]

@@clmwrxi find subs to be way more frustrating than CV’s because if a CV strike you usually it doesn’t a super high amount of damage and can somewhat be doged subs are crazy in the other hand with all of them having torpedo’s that can curve better than some cruisers can turn and chunck anybody for anywhere up to 40K damage every 30 to a minute

[@afjsns]

I'm not exactly sure about CV vs Sub engagements, but iirc bombs and rockets need to either directly hit the actual sub itself or they're completely useless. I guess this was also a holdover from the early days of the sub test where a Furious carpet bomber squad would annihilate a sub instantly

[@Aerroon]

I may be partly at fault for that. I definitely posted a clip of flying carpet bombers over asub at the start of the match and deleting them in a single strike.

[@sharpshooter7220]

the torp planes are better suited for torping ships behind islands provided they are far enough from the island

[@mattmountanian844]

Nakhimov is my favourite supercarrier

[@Aerroon]

She does feel like she should be T11, no?

[@mattmountanian844]

Indeed, question is.. how will eventual T11 look like

[@shimpoopimpoo7643]

Balanced comrade

[@BAMACOUPE]

Look at the Moskva's repair party cooldown times early in the game. The three "perma-fires" you set did a total of less than 2,000 damage. Something fishy there?

[@Aerroon]

Doesn't Moskva get cruiser repair party? Maybe it did cool down fast enough? I did not realize they didn't do much damage though, thanks for pointing that out.

[@thomasbernecky2078]

235 k? 12k dmg every drop except AP rockets which do 20k? Seems perfectly balanzed Aerroon? Stalin approves.

[@coldsteelkt]

Well Done !

[@MrCribba76]

20 fires hehe. Nice

[@jameschumley9481]

I'm pleased that the Nakhimov reflects the lessons learned by Soviet naval aviation during (and immediately after) WWII, which was also reflected all throughout the Cold War, where their carrier-based aircraft gave NATO planners pause at every turn. GG Aerroon!

[@MrTiomanu]

Moskva realy enjoy this match

[@Deathsinger432]

Is there a way to see all aircrafts on the cv? I only see like 3 or each aircraft type on my cv

[@Aerroon]

Not that I know of.

[@MSgtRazor]

You mean the Nekomov? If you know, gratz

[@Aerroon]

Is Azur Lane that odd in this community?

can we see more RTS gameplay?

[@Aerroon]

Yes!

[@kennysjamshack2410]

nice. never use rockets just torps and skips.

[@Aerroon]

The rockets are amazing on Nakhimov

[@TheTerzinator]

I dont understand why you play this ship and publish videos on it. The game is dying bc of CVs and subs and in my opinion its your responsibility as a CC to be more critical towards WGs terrible game design choices. I have been subbed to you for 8+ years but recently Ive been very disappointed not only by your silence but also your obvious ecnouragement

[@fabse2783]

Game is dying anyway, itˋs not his responsibility, only Wargaming is to blame. They stoped listening to CCs and the community in general years ago and there is no sign of them changing course. They are focusing on getting new players and the whales to generate as much money as possible, it´s all they care about. The only thing you can do about it is to stop spending money, play as long as you have fun and quit when it gets unbearable.

[@Aerroon]

[@Ensign_Cthulhu]

As a CC it's his responsibility to showcase all ship types without prejudice.

[@giroromek8423]

​@@Aerroonand why is it becoming passive if not for stupid detection mechanism of whom aircraft sporting play a huge part. Sure you are the payer who will enjoy 15 km manual control of secondaieis on CV, it will make the game more dynamic. Problem solved the game will be saves.

[@Aerroon]

@@giroromek8423 But carriers have been in the game since the start! That spotting problem has existed the entire time. I think part of the problem is that we're now getting tier inflation. We're playing T10s more, where surface ship engagements are longer range than lower tiers. I also think the playerbase has gotten 'better', which means they engage things at longer ranges still. I think CVs and subs absolutely contribute to this, but so do things like torpedo destroyers and accurate battleships. Besides, if we do get the CV rework then spotting won't be a problem, so might as well showcase as much of it now before it's changed, no?

[@2_protects_the_1]

if you think 20k is nuts from rocket planes, wait till you see the Colossus, 1 shots cvs cruisers with a single rocket run 50-60k
