World of Warships - One Trick Pony

The Yubari, originally available in a preorder bundle along with the Gremyashchy and the Sims. It used to boast the most fearsome AA firepower at tier 4 and technically still does, although what was ferocious in 2015 is pretty laughable today. Which leaves the Yubari in the position of being a one trick pony without a trick. Doing well in one of these things today is not going to be easy...

Anyone else miss watching Jingles play WoWs and WOT himself. this is fun too but it was funny watching a content creator that has the skills of the rest of us play and not some super unicum

[@jamesbigglesworth4677]

I do not think he plays WoT any more. I am being to wonder if he plays WoWs either. If he did he would know the most common way of going pink is a disconnection to the game some where between you and the game server. Then you get a warning from game while being a pink player for three games.

Believe it or not, it is fairly easy to be colored pink nowadays. If you disconnect for some reason before you die in the middle of a round, the game makes you pink when you return.

[@f.m.7698]

Can confirm. If my computer crashes and can’t make it back before the end, I’m pink on the next game.

[@nunyabidness674]

Providing the game registers you logging back in within a few minutes from a DC, the pinky gets taken off automatically. When you wait a couple hours, the pinky stays. Other than that, you have to leave the game early or give no keyboard commands...

[@NotTheRookie]

Yubari has another trick up its sleeve tho, the Aiming System mod 0 upgrade. -40% to main battery dispersion, those guns are practically laser beams. Yeah she only has 4 barrels but if you can aim, you'll hit with all 4 shells near every time.

[@adammarcinkowski-ko3el]

I got Yubar years ago , but I dont play it , WG have design game way is just not profitable to play below T5 and you cant do missions , and I think that is mad , I have Drednought , König Albert , Cambeltown , Charleston , Katori , Tachibana I honestly dont even thing about those ships , but would be fun to play those sometimes , but I do that damn Somme mission , so I need to do stuff , and low tiers dont count , that really suck .

[@BPKPhoenix]

I bought the Yubari at a time where I truly enjoyed WoWS and loved something that was out of my comfort zone of FPS games. She was a cute lil' ship at Tier 4 where I was still getting grips with the game and had fun playing AA-Escort. Her guns with that aiming module was real fun loading AP with against paper citadels. Oh how I miss the days and regret the money I poured into supporting the game in its earlier years. Before the Dark Times... before the Empire of stupidity.

[@galliman123]

Used to terrorize with Yubari. Super accurate guns. (especially with mod) Set BBs on fire repeatedly in multiple zones while dodging fire. Can nail DDs quite well. And CVs were jaw dropped when you wiped their planes. Have a couple super carries with it. Good old times. :)

[@MehrumesDagon]

Jingles, it was not the carrier rework that murdered Yuubari's AA dominacne, it was "rework" of AA system ages beofre that, that generally blanked nerfed every single japanese 25mm AA gun. After couple years since this wrecking, yuubari and katori got given a special mod upgrade as compensation, that makes those 140mm twin guns silly accurate. On a funny sidenote, neither of those "tricks" has any relevance to the historical ship - Yuubari was an experiment on how much weigh can you remove from sendai class light cruiser, while still getting the performance of a sendai class light cruiser. Her legacy is alot of light saving lessons that were later implemented in following cruisers.

[@jaredthehawk3870]

Well at least that was a historically accurate thing right? The Japanese 25mm AA gun was one of the worst AA guns ever mounted on a warship.

[@Arclite02]

Holy crap, a YUBARI replay. Don't see these very often!

[@ugotznuked]

@9:45 you can see the Isokaze turning its guns on target, and the front manages to go off but it misses- if the DD captain had turned the entire ship to get the guns on target faster, Yubari would have died there.

[@RedXlV]

Given that HSF Harekaze established *years ago* that it's possible to give premium ships multiple hull options, the buff that Yubari desperately needs to make up for its single gimmick being rendered irrelevant is to include an option for her 1940 configuration. This would have the typical terrible AA of almost all ships at Tier 4 (or at any tier for that matter), but since AA is little more than a placebo, who cares? In exchange, Yubari would get an extra pair of guns, in single turrets fore and aft. A 50% DPM increase would her a lot of good.

[@kaltaron1284]

That sounds like a great idea. Only chance for it to happen though is if WG decides to make a sale of the Yuubari. Or is it currently available?

[@RedXlV]

@@kaltaron1284It's currently for sale for doubloons in the Armory. I think it's one of the permanently available ships there.

In the nearly seven years I have been playing WOWS, I have had the Yuubari on two separate occasions. She was an absolute beast a couple of years back, during my first cruise. Lost her by accident, then got her back again not too long ago. The AA rework makes her painful to play when the fun police arrive. I've kept her more as a legacy ship, but I'm really hoping we get the old Yuubari back. The Krasny Krym isn't as painful compared to her.

I remember Yubari fondly, she was my very first ship as I bought her preorder bundle to get into beta test. She was absolute terror for low tier CV. Sadly, CV rework and AA being mostly useless left poor ship kinda irrelevant...

[@samuelgordino]

That's how I got my Yubari also. Unfortunately her AA was made almost useless long before the CV rework. Sometime after the release of the game, it had her AA so reduced that it was only useful while using AA consumable. I remember players complaining about WG changing the stats for a ship that we pay. There talks about a broken deal and getting money back.

[@asaguda]

Wasn't Yubari at the time the lowest tier cruiser with the defensive AA fire thing, too? Other lines only got that at tier 6 if I recall. Also, Yubari had infinite uses of it, no?

I really enjoyed this video. Reminded me so much of playing WoWS in the post-release period when you had all kinds of players and all kinds of ships in matches, with frequently wacky outcomes. I used to play the Yubari (though the Furutaka was my favorite) and it was actually pretty fun to drive, even w/o the AA. Of course, the pre-carrier rework was an interesting time, too, when AA actually meant something. Ah well.

[@IIIJG52]

[@jkorshak]

Actually, Jingles - you don't have to work particularly hard to have yourself turn pink. No, all you have to do is have the misfortune of having the server or something between you and the server stop working while you're trying to load into the battle and the game decides you are AFK (because you technically are) - even though you pressed Battle with good intentions. On your side all you know is you haven't loaded into battle - and maybe you kill the game and restart or maybe you do a full reboot and maybe make it back into the battle better late than never or sometimes you don't make it back in at all. Miss the battle and WG decide you're "a dick" (or just being a bad gamer, shame on you, now you are pink, oh - the ignominy.)

[@phoenixprotocol7]

Haven't seen the Yubari since CTB. God time flies. ( I have a Yubari myself, and Jingles was the reason, No regrets)

[@deaks25]

I got Yubari in a Christmas container a few years ago and it gave me a taste for "hard-mode" cruisers. Yubari as Jingles says, has no armour, rubbish guns, short range torps and no health, but also no crutches like heal, smoke or even hydro, so it's all on the player to make the ship work, and I am a cruiser-main so over the years I do play these slightly shite cruisers and have a weird sense of fun trying to make them work.

[@TysoniusRex]

Same here. Enjoy the challenge of playing shite ships and surviving, or even excelling. Like the Izumo used to be...

[@Skydust87gerbbn]

Yup, i have the yubari myself, it was my gateway to this game for very long time ❤

[@7thsealord888]

The original Yubari was an experimental design, intended to marry up heavy guns with the lightest possible hull. The design was not considered successful. The hull proved TOO light, and needed substantial reworking - which added to weight and slowed the ship down. Nonetheless, Yubari served in various noteworthy engagements, including Savo Island. In Legends, I bought Yubari early on and, from her, I got my fondness for 'oddball' Premiums. She's one of those ships you cannot play like most others in her tier and class. But a lot of fun can be had - and even a good score if it all works out. . I've found Yubari excels in two areas: 1. Use her speed and stealth to work out on one flank, then start citadelling cruisers. Her guns hit hard for tier 3-4 and if you find a good spot, you'll get lots of citadels. 2. Basic harassment. Go to HE, and just start clunking heavy units at long range. You're not doing huge damage, just setting fires, but that constant shooting gets to be like the fabled Chinese Water Torture for the other guy. I've seen heavy units completely lose their s##t after just a few rounds of this. Great fun. Oddly, her AA consumable doesn't crop up all that often for me. :)

[@RedXlV]

I wish Wargaming would give Yubari a second hull option that sacrifices the (now pretty useless post CV-rework) AA and in exchange gets another pair of main guns (in single turrets forward and aft), which is the configuration she was original built in.

[@MehrumesDagon]

Small clarification on Yuubari's intended experiment - it was not about marrying big guns with light hulls, but it was an experiment to find out how much weigh can you take away from a sendai class, while still mantaining performance of a sendai class. She did have to receive a number of modifications compared to original design, and even before those modifications, her as-build displacement ended up noticeably higher than design calculations called for. And while Yuubari herself is not exactly the best, or arguably even a good cruiser Japanese Imperial Navy has ever built, the lessons learned from that experiment, heavily influenced the design of following heavy cruisers (so like all of japanese heavy cruisers).

[@gfdx3214]

[@namele55777]

actually i would say that the yubari is still playable even without its AA-fire tricks. the guns are accurate, decent range and pack punch. the HE shells set fires like the sun. the ship is stealthy, fast and maneuverable. if you play like a destroyer rather than a cruiser, it can actually be feasible. no doubt challenging but not impossible.

Funny how the two ships left standing were once no fly zones that the carrier rework completely screwed over. The Texas used to be death to any aircraft that got near it.

Now, now Jingles, I have gone pink a number of times, I must admit in the good old day for causing damage to someone who sailed broadside into my torps that you could be seen and avoided from a low orbiting planet, the most common way today is simply losing connection and unable to rejoin the match before it ends 3 penalty points and that wonderful pink ship, but that's why you keep a tier one ship and play out the pinkness.

[@jcorbett9620]

If I remember correctly, the Premium USS Texas was also sold on the basis of it's devastating AA Fire. That has also been nerfed to oblivion with the carrier re-work and now the USS Texas is just like all low tier US BBs; painfully slow, a reload time of 35 secs, and appalling inter gun and inter turret accuracy, meaning it feels like it couldn't hit ANY part of a barn if the ship was inside it! Had that Kirov come around the island, he'd still have been perfectly safe, as the Texas would have been lucky to land a single shell on the map, let alone anywhere near the enemy vessel. In fact, had he fired at the Kirov, he would probably have been more of a threat to the enemy ships capping the base!🤣

[@lunsmann]

Yubari has another trick up it's sleeve - the guns are incredibly accurate. Yubari, and her little sister Katori are the only ships in the game to have access to the Aiming Sytems Modification 0 module which decreases the shell dispersion ellipse by a massive margin - almost like the infamous (now removed) commander skill dead eye but on steroids. A literal 75% decrease in shell dispersion. Of course as we saw the shells are floaty so the gunnery also depends on the target being slow or sailing in a straight line - not too hard an ask at T4.

The irony is that the Yubari DID have 6 guns. 2 twin and 2 singe turrets. The fact they modeled the bow single gun but didn't include it as part of the main armament is silly. Granted, the single mounts might have a faster reload than the twins, but quite frankly, its a game, give us the 6 guns.

You CAN get the Yubari for Coal these days if you want, not that i would recommend spending your hard ground Coal on a tier 4 ships. But you can indeed buy the Yubari for like 50k worth of Coal. But yeah, this ship and the Texas got ROYALLY SCREWED OVER by the CV rework. AA just does not do enough damage to actually shoot down planes. (Id know iv DONE THE MATH) Like i think WG balanced AA around CVs not having upgradable planes, cus the Planes the CVs start with CAN be shot down, the upgraded ones not so much. Then take into consideration that most people are probably going to take the Plane HP upgrade on the CVs that support that slot. Flak, and i mean ALOT of Flak is the only way to shoot down a Full squadron these days. My Nicholas will regularly WIPE a entire Squadron with its 1 Flak Puff when it does hit. (Japanese planes at least will all die to flak, other nations will take more then 1 hit.)

[@hinty6424]

You say the Yubari used to have a purpose as an AA cruiser, but I would argue it never did. Yes its AA output was amazingly good, on paper, but the reality was that all its AA firepower (with the exception of 1 single gun) was limited to 2 or 3Km range, meaning that for its AA firepower to work the planes had to basically be directly overhead. If you wanted to protect other ships you had to be so close as to be trading paint, and it wasn't even any real use for defending yourself since the attacking planes released their payload almost as soon as they got inside the bubble. My own experience with the Yubari was that it was a cruiser with almost no firepower, that died in two or three volleys and almost always lost its engine to the first volley, ensuring that you couldn't escape the next two. Worst ship in the game, which is all the more disappointing since it was a bonus for buying a free to play game.

I still have very good games in Yubari. She is a 2 trick pony : play from distance with aiming mod, HE spam BBs and kill DDs with ease. CVs can come through but I stay closer to another cruiser or BB then we can wipe out a squadron (OK, not with Svetlana...)

[@Vnx]

The Yubari's AA was actually nerfed long before the big CV rework. Apparently WG took umbrage with there being a tier 4 ship that CVs couldn't park their planes over while eating lunch and "rebalanced" all the low tier AA to nerf Yubari without directly nerfing a preorder premium ship.

It wasn't the CV rework that made Yubari AA bad it was when they reworked the AA later on. That same AA rework neutered Texas and October revolution AA as well.

Great video, thanks!

I lost my Internet connection in the middle of a game. Ten hours later when it was fixed. I logged in and i was pink for leaving the game,

Hmm another ship wargaming said would never be sold! As it was a free 'gift' for alpha testers!

[@derise328]

I'd like to hear you start a match with "What's all this then"

[@selkiemaine]

IIRC, it was so bad that they ended up giving it superb accuracy - they had to give it something.

No jingles that isokaze captain wasn’t your typical Japanese DD player, it was your typical IJN player in general. As FLAMU said a month or so back if you put a ship armed with torpedos in the hands of the IJN player base, they will commit suicide and kill themselves guaranteed. Regardless or the situation or the target. They load into the match with one goal in mind and that is to use their TORPEDOS as much as possible.

Jingles: complains when WG make things up instead of sticking to history. Also Jingles: complains when the carriers that literally made battleships obsolete are powerful.

No throws this morning. A lot, a lot of luck!

Yubari is effective if you play it like an Atlanta. Like a large destroyer.

I've been turned pink when my internet craps out and drops me.

[@neogoterra]

I've often been turned pink because my internet had a hiccup and I had to restart my modem

[@borutp]

I was Pink in WOWS because my Internet Connection was lost and i was inactive. Never judge pink Players.😊
