[@travelwell8098]

I just had a thought.....an idea for a video, perhaps... A video that goes into detail about the different AP and HE shells characteristics from different countries and ships. You often make references to the AP shells from certain countries: e.g. "That's French AP..." or "Soviet AP".

[@JedTheRedd]

I was rather confused that Sea Lord wanted me to "Be German Ship In Game".

[@The_10th_Man]

Or is it walking dead style? Be Ship, German In Game

[@Green-hd9cb]

Mathematicly each turret has a 1-(1-0.27)^4=0.72 so 72% chance to set a fire. Your chance to set a fire is 1-(1-0.27)^(number of hits) so max chance in the mecklenburg is 1-(1-0.27)^16 which is 99.3%.

[@BestShifty]

Thank you! At least a few people here understand how probabilities work ... 400%?! Isn´t sealord a teacher IRL?

[@janorszulik6429]

@@BestShifty I hope not, additionally don't forget that almost every ship has fire resistance (BB's highest), so realistically it will be quite a bit lower.

[@PirateAndArmadaCo]

It's just %chance^#hits

[@paulwood5803]

This surely predicates on all shells in a particulr salvo hitting, which is rarely, if ever, the case.

[@janboen3630]

You have nine of these guns on Ägir, which is a cruiser, and that adds good weight in brawls etc... Recently got her and really love the ship.

[@gothamgoon4237]

She's really squishy though. I keep forgetting she's a cruiser, not a bb and start drawing all the enemy fire and get vapourized. But if you can prevent yourself being the centre of the enemies attention she does pretty well.

[@Kur4n]

6:45 about a fire chance - I am not a mathematician, but I would not add that 27% - it is more complicated than simply saying 400% per salva or 100% per turret :)

[@lordciasteczkor6066]

If I remember correctly it will still be just 27% that any of the guns sets a fire. It's just 16 diffrent random events, so the sum stays the same as the are sepperate events and not one pull of events. But I might be wrong.

[@byz-blade]

(1-0.27) chance of NOT setting a fire per shell… multiply those together. Thus 27%, 46%, 61%, 72%, etc.

[@tsu7206]

It's actually ~80% per turret....in theory. In pratice, all T10 ship has a built in 50% fire chance reduction, the fire prevention skill increase it to 55% and the damage control module increase it to 57.2%. This mean that each turret has a ~45% fire chance again an anti fire built GK and 87% if each turret hit that GK according to the geometric distribution.

[@dv8322]

6:36 Each gun having a 27% chance of starting a fire does not mean that each turret has a 100% fire chance or that all the turrets firing has a 400% fire chance. It means that each gun has a 27% chance of starting a fire. A 25% chance of rain Monday through Thursday doesn't mean 100% chance of rain sometime between Monday and Thursday. It means there is a 25 % chance of rain each of those days.

[@paulmartin2429]

GK ALL THE WAY

[@NekoKuroshi]

That LtNeko was me and that was my first time on the Yugumo , GGs btw !

[@anthrax2413]

In theory you have 400% chance of fire, but in my experience you have 1% chance of fire.

[@Tenjac]

Heck yes Mecklenburg; a German battleship that can hit things even at range. She's deadly vs DDs even.

[@Smenkhaare]

Once I get the Mecklenburg... it will be my second ship after the Grosse Kurfurst...

[@detlevwilloughby7175]

If I could only play one ship, this would be the one.

[@richardbell7678]

You load sixteen guns and what do you get? Another salvo out and covered in sweat. RNGesus make those shells slam home, [I owe my soul to the company store] The first couplet took much longer to sort out than I expected. I would like to wordsmith the lyrics for the whole song, but cannot even finish the chorus: I do have a fondness for the 16 tube platforms in WoWS. I started with the Atlanta, added Lyon, Smolensk, and Marlborough, and I am looking forward to the C. Columbo. The Mecklenburg is probably going to be my next steel ship.

[@elric40]

It's a 16 gun fair fire starter....replaces the thunderer at that task which is practically unobtainable now. With 16 guns, even though a bit wonky, they are not the worst. You will make better than average hits every time. With elite Captain, Schleiffen is faster, more maneuverable, torps, AA and good main guns so is more enjoyable to me.

[@mahalajr2000]

Too late, Sealord. I spent my steel on the Bourgogne. Having a blast in Asymmetric!! Keep up the great vids!

[@mattgearytransplanted]

she's right below Bourg in my favorites. you spent well.

[@stevestillplaysgames5732]

Hi sea lord Mountbatten i started playing wows on my pc again after about 4 years and i have you to thank so thank you for the great content

[@gstormcz]

Mecklenburg is really nice ship. It feels best at range, even with captain for secondaries build (GK, Pommern) and 3rd ship module for secondaries range but 6th one for main battery reload, it's good. Witherer easy done. Although its not perfect at brawl, low HP, no hydro, it can defend itself ok, torps are thing, for which enemies won't come voluntarily. It would probably work best with standard survivability build and 3rd module for main guns accuracy, but you are loosing then beauty of those only 128mm secondaries, which can reach classic german 12,5km (T10) with signal flag.. Bourgogne is great too (but it feels best at range, although you can use its speed to surprise enemies or reach some needed area (CV, cap, some enemy to finish), I would not think much about which one of these two to pick as 1st one, another one is most likely to be next to get anyway;) Incomparable? Well, get it, if you want both absolute blasts..both of your targets and yourself too, its russian roulette ship type, you never know who gets killed, adrenaline and fun. I would not take Incomparable for matches, where you expect some solid, average results. 6 gun barrels, short range and if you show broadside, don't complain then (I removed 60K of its 70K with my GK single salvo and it can happen even worse). Superheal is nice thing of you have still something left, xd.

[@kaollachan]

sea lord i was wondering, what do you think about making some Top5 on the best but also WORST, ship you could get for the 3 tier of santa crate ( the T5 to 7, 8-9 and the rare etc)?

[@LynxSarnage]

Just got this ship over the Xmas event. First steel ship and I'm not disappointed, it's incredibly fun to play. Yes the Bourgogne may be the more competitive option but for fun I think this ship is the best steel pickup there is!

[@stevenchan3822]

Hell yes, 16 guns with a fast reload is terrifying, was playing against a div with 2 mecklenburg and having 32 shells flying towards you is not fun

[@lesrush6298]

What do you think off the German super cruiser I am tempted to buy it

[@Cedric8486_1]

yes Mecklenburg is an amazing ship in game especially in the battle mode Asymmetric battle

[@Uthandol]

Schilf is king in asymetrics. I have them both, its no contest in that mode. As far as overal id put it with mainz at t8

[@Sunny739-wu9bb]

Mecklenburg is the battleship I play most I built into the secondary though

[@cyberwaste]

Picked this ship up not long ago. The meta is out of control on the Asia server, so playing anything other than a Slava or Yamato means you're doing it wrong. Very boring matches decided by which team's DDs don't die fighting for the caps alone in the first five minutes.

[@jonathanbaron-crangle5093]

SEA server, the one true server to rule them all

[@armanhadi777]

EU all dead in 2 mins. Played by brave bots.

[@leemarcus6123]

all the more reaon to play DD in SEA ngl, cuz u can actually make plays while ur just there as a BB and cruiser exists to be food

[@russellgunton9631]

Good one SL. Hows the Seigfried nowdays?

[@ryanbrochu3336]

I can answer that. TERRIBLE! Yes the guns are accurate, but it only has 6 of them. The hp pool at 62850 is solid but you only get 3 heals base that regen 8800 max. Couple that with BB burn time of 60s means that Seig's survivability is rather low. But the biggest insult to injury is the secondaries, Seig has standard Cruiser accuracy. At 8km, the the max dispersion is 486m. Napoli on the other hand, has 198m dispersion on its secondaries at 8km. Seig's big gimmick when introduced was that it was a secondaries cruiser back when cruiser could take Manual Secondaries with its immediate 60% accuracy boost and the commander rework completely neutered that. And without its original gimmick, its a average to lacklustre ship.

[@russellgunton9631]

Cheers mate. Interesting info. I still enjoy her accurrate main guns tho.

[@DESTROYYER5671]

Ah yes the perfect tbumbnail "Be German Ship in the Game"

Nothing will take me away from Gunther and Schlieffen.

[@auxmachinist7658]

wish you had put this out 2 weeks ago. just got the stalingrad instead lol

[@Balanar6236]

Whats the captain build for this ship? EDIT: also, can this ship be bought by any other means other than steel?

[@JSabra27]

Nope, only steel

[@Balanar6236]

@@JSabra27 thanks!

[@mattgearytransplanted]

Bourg is a bit better but this is a great ship in it's own right. Breaks my heart to see clan members spending steel on Stalingrad when these two ships are around.

[@c10wiremantawwallace13]

I remember when World of Warships was REALISTICALLY modeled & didn't have Paper Ships that NEVER set sail on the water. Today they might as well make some BB's with 8 turrets with 6 guns per turret & second reloading guns. The game has become insane today.

[@Iamdarthplague]

Could not agree more Mount.

[@janboen3630]

Which steel ship would you get first then? Bourgogne or Mecklenburg? I'm playing a lot of German BB's and Cruisers. I like brawling.

[@heny123456]

If you have Lütjens I would say Mecklenburg. Otherwise Bourgogne.

[@jebes909090]

basically everyone says bourgogne because its more versitile. its basically and alsace but at tier 10 with a reload booster. you cant really brawl with her but she is good in all other situations(and with the reload she can be really nasty if timed right). mecklenburg will probably be my second ship since i love the german bbs.

[@warnerww83]

Bourgogne…on paper it doesn’t look like it would be particularly incredible, but there’s some magic there that makes that ship just damn fun to play. Still on the fence with the Meck myself. I feel like I have a version of this ship in other ships.

[@JSabra27]

Bourgogne, Lauria, Meck is my order. Speed boost and reload booster is just too fun in bourg. Lauria is fasttttt and semi accurate with overmatch and SAP. Meck is super accurate and pretty versatile.

[@ryanbrochu3336]

If you play a lot of German ships, Meck(lenburg) can be a good pick. The big thing about Meck though, is that it isn't really a brawler like the other German BB's. It's armour is a bit weaker than other German BB's (but it's still really good) and it has T9 hp at T10, which makes Meck more of a mid-range fighter and Cruiser killer.

[@scottie6302]

Which would you pick Mecklenburg or Louria hope I spelt that right 😊

[@davidhines7592]

i want one. but then im concentrating on german ships for the moment and i want them all in the end😁

Call me sentimental but i dont think any German ship beats good ol' GK with Lutjens.

[@janorszulik6429]

That's not how math or rather statistics work

[@nk_3332]

Sorry, math nerd response. With a 27% fire chance you have a 71.6% chance of a fire with all 4 guns of a turret hitting, and with all 16 you have a 99.6% chance of fire. Take the chance of failure (73% in this case) and raise it by the power of the number of times you're checking. .73^4 for one turret = 28.4% of failure, or 71.6% chance of success. With Demo Expert and both fire flags you've got a 76% with one turret, and with all 16 you have a 99.7% chance of fire. if you hit with all of them.

[@scootypooper]

hello

[@markstone-tolcher5693]

I reckon both Immelmann and Z42 are better German ships that Mecklenburg, meck is probably the best German BB

[@ianadam2303]

Pommern is think is the best

[@Micharus]

I love the German BB's, but their mains..... terrible at almost any range for the most part.

[@Lyle_K]

Schlieffen, Mainz, 4501, Immelmann and Elbing are all better hands down. Just get bourg it’s better in every way.

Oh oh, more BS than a Thunderer was, guess we should call for nerfs on it huh? Or since it is your fav BB line we give it a pass?

[@rdnowlin1206]

G. Kurfurst is my top German BB. No interest in Mecklenburg

Guns do too little damage and she burns down too easily. I'll take a Jean-Bart or even a lowly Stalingrad over that BB.

[@biefstukmulle7564]

seven years they promote allways the best ships ever - it's a game they have allways new ships - yeah only open your wallet !

[@captainworstpirateiveheard9842]

Schlieffen is better imo. Mecklenburg's rear angles and no hydro give the edge to Schlieffen. Schlieffen just gotta angle properly to survive but u got more weapons. Mecklenburg is still a top 3 steel pick imho

second

[@mysticdragonwolf89]

I’d have to disagree - Tirpitz and Scharnhorst and Pommern - are the top three best German ships They have good guns and secondaries, especially if you have them built right with commander skills and equipment The Meck feels like a shotgun

[@byz-blade]

I play all of those extensively, along with Meck and almost all other German ships… and my stats in Meck are by far the best. It’s also a really fun boat. Kicks ass in asymmetric too.

[@malguskerensky]

Going to disagree and I will stick with the Coal option for Pommern, which in my opinion is a better German BB. Steel is a bit too rare a resource for non-ranked/clan players to spend on an low caliber BB without hydro.

[@Uthandol]

I have both. Sea lord is right here, but you gotta play what you like,

[@ryanbrochu3336]

Pommern is frustrating, if not terrible most of the time. Secondaries mean little if you get melted down 1/2 hp just trying to get into secondary range.
