The speed boost here may be a nod to the history of Rodney. I think she was on her way to the US east coast for a refit when the Bismark was located, and her captain/engineering crew managed to push her past her rated top speed in order to join up with HMS King George V in time for Bismark's final battle.

While I love the point that you are TRYING to make here, but instead you made me realize WG actually is in line with model ship pricing. The number you have in mind is likely from years ago. HMS Rodney in 1/700 (painfully small) is north of $40 USD. My preferred scale of 1/350 is usually twice that, or more…and I cannot find Rodney in that scale. I still will stick to giving time to plastic models. But the 3D models WG has in this game are the best I’ve seen.

This was a must for me as Rodney alondside Ark Royal and Dido were built by Cammell Laird in my home town . Other notable ships from Lairds being Prince of Wales, HMNZS Achilles, RMS Mauretania 1938, Ark Royal again in 1950, CSS Alabama and the ill-fated craft, troop ship Birkenhead and sub Thetis. The Birkenhead struck rocks and sank off the tip of South Africa in 1852. It was famous because the troops were orderd to form up and stand fast. This allowed the women and children to get onto life boats and survive. Never the less there was great loss of life. Thetis sank in Liverpool Bay in 1939 due to an accident while on trials. The loss of life consisted of RN crew and shipyard workers. It was headline news at the time. Thetis was refloated and commisioned under the nameThunderbolt. As Thunderbolt she was sunk again in 1943.

I find it interesting that have a citadel above the water is a good thing b/c you preserve more buoyancy, water can't just flood above it which would threaten to sink the entire ship without breaching the citadel, and grants more protection in general to more of the ship. In contrast to WoWS, where all those disadvantages become a non-factor.

Especially for incompleted projects like Soyuz and Alsace. Montana at least got a nice 1/350 kit….for like $400 + the build time to actually make it. In WoWS it is free.

I did get this as a container drop and tried it out. It really is a nice brawler, and a little frustrating at times. One thing I haven't tried was the torpedoes, which isn't unusual. While I was grinding the British battlecruiser tech tree, when it came to the torpedoes I mostly thought "why did they bother?" OTOH, they seemed to be better battleships than the main line battleships. Go figure. 🙄

We will see a ship that bow in will eat citadels like no tomorrow while not being able to seriously damage their foes in return. Nelson is a pain to play because of the lack of armor, but with the super heal you can build into that and at least leverage low hp to some degree. Not giving Rodney that takes away any real advantages, while adding very limited use torpedoes. Rodney is the T7 British version of Mutsu.

The Russian BB dispersion sounds great, but in practice, it still gives you absolutely crappy salvos despite being at point blank range at times, like around 23:30 in the video. Add to that, the fact that the Rodney is going to almost constantly get up tiered to TVIII, and you have a painful mix. The ship should have been a Tier VIII. Give it 32mm bow and stern armor, and she would have been great.

@@sealordmountbatten Yeah, I am not undermining that but in the grand scheme of things, if their target market are young audiences (and old audiences) especially with the Azur Lane events, even though the Rodney is optional and you can grind ships as an f2p and the lootboxes makes sure that you are over 18 years old, it is still a scummy price as you can just play games that are cheaper and more entertaining and some do not even have DLCs or at least DLCs that aren't as expensive as Rodney and Rodney is one single ship and it is not considered a DLC. My point is even if you are a supporter of the game, it sounded like you were oblivious to the crazy pricing of the ships (because of the patreon supporters) and actually encourage buying it.

@@Skyclapper Well, I'm not sure if you watched all the way to the end of the video, but I encouraged players to not buy the Rodney. If you look at the price of vehicles/items in other similar games, you'll find similar pricing to WG, especially in games like WT. Do keep in mind that I have never been a CC and have financed this channel out of my own pocket for years before I had a Patreon (I never thought anyone would want to give me money to make this content, but some amazing people proved me wring). I am well aware of the pricing.

​@@sealordmountbatten hey man, no hate though especially now that I understand that you are aware of the pricing. In my point of view, why do some (reasonably old) games on steam with over 100,000 reviews of Very Positive and Overwhelmingly Positive have as low as a discount of $2 (some is an ongoing online service although it doesn't need to be and some are even free) while WG justifies that they have to make the models for each ship so it costs money and puts it up for $40. I was actually disgusted at the fact they used D-Day to sell their premium containers and ships. If you think about it, their whole selling point is real dead men who fought for their country but died because, well it was war. I hope you understood my perspective and my (maybe) unfair comparisons which led me to be really against the pricing. Anyways, from what I remember playing the Monarch, it never had a superheal but for some reason, it somehow had it. Kind of like a deja vu or the mandela effect.

"New 'shoddy' premium ship..." Well, no bias there. Plus you say in the beginning of the video WGs intent is for a close quarters style gameplay then complain about that play style. As for the heal, its a real shame that players will have to play without the crutch of a superheal that rewards 'shoddy' gameplay and instead play with a standard heal, albeit with a 40 second cooldown, and have to play their ship better.

@sealordmountbatten 6 ай бұрын
Also, as you hear me explain later, yes the ship is meant to be played at close range, but the issue is that the Nelson/Rodney hull is terrible for that thanks to its massive freeboard, thin armor, and exposed citadel. Then put her at T7 where when she’s uptiered by a single tier, most battleships can just overmatch her bow/stern.

Did you know, how the Navy builds its ships? They just place the superstructures and gun turrets on, only they're weight keeps them on the ship. If the ship starts to capsize, they are designed to fall off and drop to the bottom, in the hopes that will right the ship.

That is navy dependent, Oklahoma's turrets stayed in place for both the trip over as well as the quite slow trip back, Yes the German turrets were held in by their own weight, but this is not universal, Ryan over at BBNJ has even showed the blocks the fasten the turrets down

< HARD PASS ON THIS SHIP - Thanks Sealord your ship reviews, your spot on this one & you have saved me tons of wasted cash for mediocre ships,”. - that being said - What I notice are trends from them over the last 7-9 years - if the ship is released to just “buy” it’s going to be a frustrating ship - This ship is that - there’s no reason to buy a miserable ship - even that Nelson was a toss up but it has the better heal - honestly - this one will be a surprise when it pops up in my Santa crates so I can wait - this leads into my “gripe” with the game - the person that delivered this ship to the game obvisly never played WOWS - great art but sad performance - that person should be let go and allowed to make ships for that crappy War Thunder - haha I bet that person was a DEV for that disaster - this IS a game if I want frustration all I need is to talk to my wife - War gaming will now have “FOMO” for my cash - I can’t tell you how many crappy ships I have purchased from them - seriously - the ships you want you can’t get - the ships no one wants are in the Premium Shop? This is sad - why don’t they just put a boat up and WE goto to armory and BUY the modules we Want and allow US to PICK and MOD our Ships - war games is missing the boat here cause they continue to let DEVS who DONT PLAY THE GAME make these ships - all I ever hear is that’s bad for the game but no one says my MONEY is Bad - Thanks - that’s my rant - what’s sad - you keep saying “ the Johnston “ is coming - I bet it will be a disappointment - Great Review Crappy ship - it’s time the community sends a message to them - “Make WOWS FUN AGAIN”
