[@Hell_On_Gaming]

I am impressed that Tiger '59 isn't on this list, I figured it would be a real contender for the 1 or 2 slot.

[@presidion11guy32]

1000+ matches in Tirpitz. One of my all-time favorite ships. The current meta makes it rough but I still pull it out every so often. I tend to run T7 or below primarily these days. Usually more fun there.

[@colvingazelle]

100% playing Tier VII and below- Scharnhorst is a favorite

[@adammarcinkowski-ko3el]

I have Tirpitz on my second account , I dunno how I got it , maybe some random drop container on some event , but lately I play that account as I looking to (get rid of ;) my main account , and I will play now for fun on that one , and Tirpitz is fun ship to play , have good guns in compare to BIsmark, GK or Pommren in my opinion more accurate , secondaries are German , have torps , only minus is that dont have hydro , but I enjoy play it in convoy , she is my main credit earner now , until I wont buy Pommren , as with every new accout first thing to do is to have 2 things 1. good credit T9 earning ship 2. 21p commander that will earn commander xp .

[@thedefenestrator5686]

When it was first introduced, Tirpitz did not have the Bismark secondary range. So it wasn't as good a brawler as it is today. After the range was increased, it became a much more fun ship to play.

[@fenner1986]

It's amazing for ops for commander training

[@TheRealBlackivy5486]

I got the Tone for historical reasons and ignored it for a long time, but after getting used to it with the proper set-up, it can be a good support ship. I do agree that it is not a game changer, but in certain situations it cane be fun to play. Should be offered as a coal ship...

[@gregorturner9421]

i love it for scenarios. good damage with guns and 10km torps the planes just give you range if necessary.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

I think you need to use torps and stealth as primary weapons. It's lack of armour and dpm really hurt it and the torp bombers are of limited value. I also picked it up for historical reasons, but I saved up free Doubloons so wasn't as worried about the cost.

[@rallsanti]

482 battles for me in the Tone. My most played ship and I love it. Yes the guns are a rad underpowered especially if you compare it to the atago. You can't really play it like the atago either even though they are the same ship class. The fire chance is still crazy high but the actual dpm is awful. You need to play it like a kiter and controller. Use your torps, stealth, and rudder swing to bait the enemy into chasing you. Then use planes to corral. Most people will react and turn into your torp planes. Use that to your advantage to position them to hit your ship dropped torps. The Tone is not an easy ship to use but it can be a blast to play once you get more used to it. I don't claim to be an amazing player.. I am more or less average (Rall_Santi NA if you want to stat shame me I don't care) but I really do love kiting cruisers and cruisers that you play while on the move constantly. The Tone is one of those and is amazing at slowing down a push on a defending flank.

[@jadam768]

Tone is pretty fun because it has a lot of different tools

[@xzarial6652]

Mushy pea gods

[@donaldhay6855]

Tiger 59 admiral pack when it first released. Back before I looked at ship reviews before making purchases. Needless to say you and others have greatly helped with ship selections.

[@sandbergius]

I got the Tiger in my deleted account from christmas boxes. It's definitely not a carry ship due to lack of rpm, secondarys and torps. But it's a ship for team assistant play style due to its utility abilitys. I often used it in ranks and made sure enemy DDs would not survive early game or get contest the base successfully.

[@deaks25]

Tone's best asset is actually it's concealment. Yes, if you're playing it as a CV with guns, it sucks, but then playing ANY hybrid primarily as a CV is just griefing your team, especially the hybrid BBs. Play Tone as any other IJN heavy; a fast, stealthy kiter that happily flame-throws and she is fairly effective. And a T8 cruiser with a heal can make a massive difference to the ability to sustain. She can also abuse the island camping and can just about get all of her guns off without being spotted behind an island. Her concealment is insanely good, which means if she's being chased, she struggles to return fire due to the all-forward gun set-up but can escape quite easily. Tone is one I would say SLM needs to revisit and focus more on the being a cruiser rather than being a CV. Anchorage I don't play like the rest of the American crusiers, again I play her more like an IJN ship; staying mobile, on the move stealthing out, and utilising my full gun power, which the smoke helps a lot with; she can stop, smoke up and get decent spam. Anchorage is a bit like Buffalo in that neither really fit the typical USN cruiser play style so requires a bit of adaptation. She is still kind of meh, and Buffalo is probably better overall, but at that time it was only a couple of phases that needed paying for so I did grind her out and so got a T8 ship relatively cheaply.

[@charleslarrivee2908]

Technically Sun-Yat Sen isn't the first Pan-Asian BB, we have two weird clones of Izumo and Alsace from the Journey to the West event. But since they are weird clones, I don't know whether they count.

[@FltCaptAlan]

If all you care about is the flags they fly and the commanders they can train, then they count, and they are the better choices if only you didn't need to gamble to get them during the event.

[@boo74567]

I’d say I like the bajie or what ever it is. Think it’s a bit more accurate than the Izumo too

[@theiranianputin2770]

You mean the Wujing? I think that is based off the Alsace. Its 1 of my favorite Premiums. Don't have an Alsace yet, but would like to run it to compare to Wujing.

[@michael5432]

I clicked on this video and was thinking, he BETTER HAVE ROMA! My biggest regret! LOLOL Love the video!

[@TheKythia]

"STOP TYPING ... hear me out ...!" You know us so well haha. Got the Sun Yat-Sen from a random event box for free and I'm considering selling it for credits. Still hoping they'll make it worthwhile somewhat eventually.

[@dudeonyoutube]

SLM: The Tirpitz is the ship I really regretted buying. SLM: The Tirpitz is one of my favorite ships.

[@k98_zock_tv47]

Tone is a good ship, high accuracy and very good concealment. Either you stay in the back and scout DD's, what safes your HP's for later in the game, or you just play it like the Atago.

[@warytrout454]

Hello from night shift Sealord

[@levipierson4946]

Hope your having a good nap about now

[@ArmorPiercing11]

Roma is one of my favorite ships. It fits my aggressive play style perfectly. 90% of the time the ship I’m shooting at is within probably 10kms, and yea sometimes it does still only hit 1 out of 9 shells within 10kms. The Tirpitz is a POS. I got it free in a Black Friday crate and I still feel like I got ripped off.

[@piratebendy7578]

First time I saw a Tone in battle was able to delete it at range in a Vermont 100 to 0

[@usssimshullnumberdd-4095]

Tone is actually a really competitive ship. 8.8km concealment with a full build, 10km torps, planes for spotting/forcing the enemy to maneuver, sub 10s rudder shift time, +37 knots top speed, Japanese HE, 3 of the 4 turrets rotate back making it so 75% of your firepower is available when kiting, high velocity and accurate guns. The only real downsides are the gun layout and reload time. But even then, the Atago that you compared her to has the same reload time and just 1 more gun for the price of concealment and spotting capabilities.

[@Bushcraft-xz6xd]

My only regret was getting Alaska instead of Smaland. I didn't know back then I would only play BB and DD. I just didn't vibe with Cruiser play.

[@Iamdarthplague]

this

[@JFritz-bs9ub]

I've been playing my Anchorage more again lately and have been enjoying it but as you said, would consider it meh overall. Personally, I've always felt that if it had a heal or a bit better range it would be good. That's my opinion though.

[@owenilagan144]

I've purposely bought the worst tier V premiums using discounts whenever available in order to get the better ones for free from Santa and Super containers.

[@WindIsCalm]

Not a bad idea, I might just steal that

[@walmart6947]

Was gonna buy the Sun-Yat Sen but watched your early video 😂 so I got the Kearsarge with my coupon

[@RealX-Benz]

5:23 I am really really hate to break it down for you, but first of all Tone is a real ship not even a paper ship and second thing the concealment on Tone is way superior, a concealment on Atago . With that concealment, there’s six torpedoes on each side of it, let alone be high accurate, and I velocity and effectively the same caliber of the Atago . So, to simplify it Tone is a ship to carry with

[@catguy9229]

The tier 6 Italian dd Leone is a ship I regret grinding for. Got her in the Italian container collection, played her for 6 games, and sold her for credits. The guns are so frustrating and the lack of torpedos makes her so hard to play.

[@richardbell7678]

If I recall correctly, historically, the Italian 15" guns generated muzzle energies that enabled them to miss at ranges other navies could not even fire at. The stupidest reason that I ever bought a premium for was getting the Duke of York so the hydro-acoustic search would find that blasted Campbelltown DD, in the Narai op. I kind of regret that, but not seriously. Other then the Puerto Rico, the dock yard ships have not been great and the grind is enough that I have trouble playing for about a week after they finish. I have some regret for buying the Emden, as WG provides little reward for playing the lowest tiers, even if the game play can be really chaotic and fun.

[@wstavis3135]

Incorrect. The ZF-6 is actually fantastic. It only proves the general rule though, every other dockyard ship has been ridiculously mediocre at best.

[@kevinleach2584]

Sealord, loved the list. You're wrong about the Tirp. Love that boat. Have since it came out, so for a while. Dead on about the rest of the list.

[@TruckingShooter]

The tirpitz was one of my first premiums I paid real money for. Pretty much the day it came out. Time hasn't been kind to her and it reminds me of when this game was amazingly fun. Tone I got just cause it was a real ship, I had the dubs and wanted to use my coupon. Now currently I have enough dubs for one more dock yard (prolly around Christmas I'm guessing) and after I spend it on that I'm done. No more money from me and honestly might not even play much anymore.

[@Steviemightdoit-cg1su]

I did the same thing with Alabama as you did with the derp lol one of my favorite ships now though.

[@FltCaptAlan]

Ise and Tone share the same number of planes per flight, 4 The only reason I use Roma is when I need credits, and I don't feel like Kii or Ashitaka in ops

[@zetsubouda]

I'd honestly like to see you do one for freemium ships as well. Time is money as they say- throwing away a grind on a ship that turns out to be underwhelming or bad cuz the reviews are tainted by WG still feels bad without directly paying cash.

[@rjald4910]

For me... The Pommern... When you play Schliefen once, you don't want to go back (edit: i don't really regret buying her, as Lütjens is awesome on her and playing her in ranked is very fun. Ransoms aren't as much though). Immelmann, got it out of a super container (i think, definitely didn't buy it). Don't like CV play style and starting at t10 with a new ship type is probably the reason i don't like playing cvs. Napoli... grinded the Petro line before, wanted to grind the Italian cruisers next so I got it for coal but comparing it to the Petro or the Alaska it's not as good (imo). I tried to get into the Napoli again, because i only heard good things about it and Konvoi looked awesome for her, but it lacks something for me. Please give me a reason to play her ...

[@devonellis2520]

Don't go down the Japanese light cruisers line. Giant ball of suck

[@j_taylor]

I regretted Smaland for a while after getting it.

[@heroictesticles6870]

@@j_taylor I'd love the chance at getting Smaland so I can regret it after.

[@KPen3750]

Anchorage imo really needs more than 2 smokes to make it work, and like a 12 second reload

[@WindIsCalm]

rip Rochester

[@FltCaptAlan]

It's getting the ability to launch catapult planes while also having hydro instead,

[@thomasstephens3584]

I also got tired of grinding up the US BB line, got first the Prinz Eugene, then Tirpitz Black. Getting sunk by a ship you cannot even see is very frustrating, so I do not do many random matches. However, I spent the last year getting the premium leader, Luetgens. Go fast, get in close, plink at stuff with the main guns, smother them in secondaries, and sneak in a torp or two. Works very well for airship escort. For stress relief I crank up Tier1 IJN and run over and noogy on the other guys. (and sink 1-3 ships) NOT good tactics for upper tiers, but more fun!!

[@SCTimbal]

Ise was the one I regretted. This was the first hybrid battleship and I got into the hype. Honestly it needs better/harder hitting torps to make it worth taking out of port again.

[@BarrettL1970]

I agree, I get the harder ships due to the challenge factor, guns are very lacking. Ise I regret. You testbed on another line and perfect it with the USN...smh.

[@FockeWolf100]

I ADORE my Tone. The excellent conceal makes her great for popping shots off, showing up somewhere they won’t expect, repeat. Especially good with IJN HE. Tone’s planes are utility planes, really. They can be used to devastating effect in ranked (100% WR) as you can spot and still be a decent-good heavy cruiser. Also, stealth torping in a CA is good memes.

[@ImpendingJoker]

Atago was my first premium ship. I have Tone and I like that ship for different reasons. You just have to play it as a kite boat and use it as a support cruiser.

[@snowfyre920]

I do sometimes regret buying Hayate for 2mill fexp (double a tier 9 prem fexp boat) because she's now a coalship at slightly more coal than a tier 9 premium coal boat...

[@williampotts4404]

yes got roma from a container but havent played her at all if i had blow money on actual price i would be pretty upset

[@Iamdarthplague]

Good list.

[@ukmachinehead]

Nice bro. Was my first premium also. And I believe the first BB that had torps? I don't regret buying her. Also I am sure mine cost £40+ so I paid more than you with the conversion rate also.

[@ethernil]

2018 AA was a thing. It is just that it was considered a balancing factor for ships that lacked in other things like US cruisers having no torpedoes, US battleships having worse guns than IJN ones etc. Yes the CV could sink you if it was capable and determined but it could very well cost it all it's planes and those didn't regenerate. Not saying that CVs were not overpowered or even stronger than now, just that the AA mattered.

[@Evangeline.F]

I liked Anchorage (past tense, cause quit the game, not stopped liking it). I think it's a pretty ok T8 premium cruiser, especially for a dockyard boat. It ticks all the points for a decent premium: 1. It's not OP nor UP. 2. It provides the right degree of deviation from standard line to justify a premium, while preserving essential characteristics. It has torps and smoke ninstead of radar, but it keeps trademark AP shells with improved ricochet angles and 27 mm plating. 3. The deviation is in a way that makes it more accessible to play. Anchorage just like Atago and Eugen is a ship that benefits from the fact it gets something to deal with being a cruiser at T8, just it's a smoke instead of heal. You don't need the smoke to do your job, but you can use it for farming or disengaging. It's not like Belfast '43, which is balanced around tryharding where your smoke has to be used to survive and to do damage, Anchorage has the hp and armour to at least tank something. yeah, Montana can shit on you in the open, but that it can on any T8. In full downtier though, Anchorage can be extremely mean though. Also, lack of radar means no reason to camp suicidally close. 4. Ship still can give you great moments and isn't just geared around frustrating moments. I hate Prinz Eugen. Why? Because it has one specialty, which is staying alive. It's dpm is trash, it's speed is meh, it's concealment shit, best you get is an idiot showing broadside and German AP doing work. Generally, ships designed around staying alive can be extremely boring. Anchorage isn't flimsy, nor has it great dpm, but it at least has the broadside weight and it can do a number on any ship with HE or AP per salvo. Yes, reload is 15s, but you get some great moments when you shoot. I find it comparable to Atago, which has 2 less shells, but better accuracy. And if I consider punishment potential for a cruiser in a turn, the Anchorage beats the Eugen for sure, due to ricochet angles and just having 50% more shells in a salvo. Also, Doe captain or Halsey are incredibly good with improved Expert Loader. Also, personal biggest premium regrets of ships I bought (not got otherwise): Erich Loewenhardt, Prinz Eugen, Odin, AL Montpellier (mostly because 152s got nerfed hard later. Was good when it came out), Prinz Eitel Friedrich and Graf Zeppelin.

[@irishwind1971]

I was with you. Until you trashed Eugen. She is my go to for tier 8 cruisers. I bought her when I started doing ranked, and she is amazing for fighting same tier ships. Sent many BBs back to port thinking they could out brawl me. And her heal is good for seeing who was ready for round two of the fight. And in Co-op she is solid. Randoms, OK, power creep has hurt, and MM is no one's friend except for tier 10 and superships. But that is also any tier 8 or 9 ship these days too. And until CVs lose the ability to spot for other ships, all cruisers are going to suffer from longer ranged guns. But +1 to you.

[@Mosisli]

Statwise it looks like a cross between Azuma and Mogami. Seems pretty clear what you could do with it. Moreover it comes with smoke and better AP. Which I guess some could find some additional use for beside spamming HE. Should be decent enough.

[@Apollyon-er4ut]

I get your reasoning on the Tirp, WG let me have one for a week and then tried to sell me the Tirp at a discount early in my game experience. I played it and hated it. A year later, I got one in a Black Friday container and now, I actually like it, but like the Bismarck better (hydro).

[@patraic5241]

I learned my lesson with the Atlanta. I bought it. I used it two weeks when WG decided to Nerf Bat it Hard. Just about all the stats for the ship I bought were changed After I Had Made My Purchase. If it had had those stats two weeks prior I never would have bought it. I would have been Ok of they had somehow grandfathered in my purchase. So basically WG pulled the purchase I had made right out from under me retroactively. Nope! I'm pretty old school in this way. If I buy something It's Mine. Hands off. And that was the Last premium ship I ever purchased for $$$. All the other premiums I have were in game resource buys only, or SuperBoxes, or gimees/gifts for special events.

[@quoniam426]

When I was being testing the Roma, I remember dealing consistantly citadel hits on a very well angled Alabama, in the cheeks. US CA mains who use the Anchorage usually don't know how to use it and stay still in the middle of nowhere, every time I spot one laying a smoke screen for themselves, I fire and usually delete the thing pretty much. Yes, buying premium ships when one is just a newbie with less than 2500 battes under their belf is a bad idea, unless you buy a low tier premium. My first premium was the Aurora for a reason. I never take out my Roma, I've had so many more interesting ships to play. Julius Ceasar is bonkers by comparison.

[@Weathersbeast]

So I find ITA BBS are forgiving for mistakes other than a miss on a salvo. The accuracy on all of them was designed for deadeye which is gone. So they’re just a shotgun now

[@irishwind1971]

Premium UK cruisers are wondering why they are not on the list. Belfast 43 needs something to move it into good boat territory, but the rest? Ooh boy. As for Anchorage, I like her. Different enough from Baltimore so she doesn't feel like a copy/paste premium. Only reason why I don't have Tirpitz is I have Bismarck, and I find hydro more useful than torps.

[@paranoid97_]

Actually about the Tone, it has the same number of planes and torpedoes as the Ise, and they deal the same damage. In fact its planes don't even have the same health as the Ise's, it's actually about 150 HP lower per plane.

[@TimeRift609]

Did the Sun Yat-Sen get changed since this video? I compared her to the Georgia and the Vermont on shiptool with my range set to the default 12km, and I noticed that Sun Yat-Sen's dispersion was 149x78 with a sigma of 1.9, Georgia has 149x77 with a sigma of 1.8, and Vermont has a dispersion of 180x89 with 1.95 sigma. Sun Yat-Sen seems to be the most accurate of those three ships; am I missing something? Edit: The THUNDERER has almost the same dispersion of the Sun-Yat Sen (149x78 with 1.9 sigma). How can the Sun Yat-Sen be considered inaccurate?

[@SeventhFoldAvenged]

You said Tirpitz and I felt attacked. I bought it back when it was brand new, and my highest tech line ship was the Omaha, because my buddy said "oh em gee, it's a tirptiz!" And I bought it, and got wrecked. It sat in my port until I played bismarck, and I prefer the bis because hydro. But tirptiz is still fun.

[@IncarnateParanormal]

got the sun yat sen from 1 case, wish i could give that case back.,......but at least i dont have to worry about pulling it again

[@sgoldsworth31]

The only ship in my fleet that comes to mind is Georgia. I bought it without having anything above T 8 at the time. I fell prey to FOMO, bought Georgia and have played a handful of times. I think I need grind a BB line and really learn to play at T9 and T10 levels. A similar set of circumstances existed when I bought Hood. Bought a good ship too soon and sort of regret buying it.

[@DamianInman]

The Rochester is a slap in the face to the Anchorage. Better AA, better smoke fire penalty, better guns... just better.

[@vexatriss]

He knows the audience. "Tirpitz--No stop typing!!"

[@charlescook1607]

I know this isn’t on topic, but this morning I read an article about the USS Washington and how it was the last American Battleship to sink an enemy (Japanese) Battleship. It was a very good article. That American BB should definitely be in this game. Would absolutely love it!!

[@javierlopez-pacios549]

Yes, the Uss Washington ( North Carolina class) was a incredible ship that hit the Kirishima and the tripulation had to sink it

[@FltCaptAlan]

Last built, not last to engage another battleship, that goes to WV, Cali, Tenn and Co. against the Fusos at Surigao Strait on the night of Oct 22-23, 1944, the last battle between any battleships

[@faynk.6247]

@@FltCaptAlan i think he meant the last USA battleship to sink the IJN battleship, not the last battleships engagement.

[@FltCaptAlan]

@@faynk.6247 Either Way, WV and co did that, the US standards that were rebuilt after Pearl Harbor, as I said, Wash was the newest USN BB to sink another BB/BC (Kongos are BCs), but not the last

[@jagsdomain203]

I love my Roma. She is frustrating but I still love it.

[@patrickreuter4549]

Hi, Sealord! I started with the game in middle of may. Can you give us a video about the top 10 low tier vessels? Pwetty pwease? All classes together (maybe except subs), but only ships from tier II-IV. And perhaps an extra video about tier V and VI? (What I hate about many other channels is, they only showcase tier X ships and will never, never drop down to beginner tiers, no matter how often and how nicely I ask.)

[@dodgedaytona7435]

The pirate ship, Uss St. Louis t3, as for the others, especially older vessels try Little White Mouse on the forums she does in depth reviews. I like both her and Sealord for reviews. Sealord gives player's perspective, and she gives the in depth numbers.

[@doctorsmell]

Velos. I don't get how to do damage consistently in this ship. I thought that it resembles Kidd but I was wrong.

[@tomr1630]

Sea Lord, What do you consider short range, & medium range?

[@Dik131WZD]

I love Tone and Tirpitz and fortunately, I did not have money to buy Sun-Yat-Sen, when I wanted

[@steveoltjenbruns2366]

I think Duke of York is the only premium I regret getting. Already had Nelson and love Nelson, feel like I might have preferred something else with my coal at the time.

[@frosty3693]

I like the Tone, in CoOp. The aircraft 3 minute cooldown is criminal. But I guess it was done to not encourage use of the aircraft. Cruisers do not have the gun range and tankiness of the BB based ones. My main desire for the ship was that it is historical, like the Atago and Maya. I but one thing fun with the ship is you can't get bored. Tired of shooting your guns, torpedo something, bored with that, fly the planes. Something I would like to see is WG have the planes ready to go at the start of the match, especially in CoOp. But the planes are nice to have when you are trying to find that last remaning ship hiding somewhere, though it is rare in CoOp. Another ship I would like to see in the game, not that I play much anymore (the DD sub interaction is FUBAR) is a premiun Takao but the gymmick for it would be radar. (I can't remember offhand which one Atago or Takao, but it was Takao I think) The ship was the IJN's test bed for all their radar systems and was well equipped. It could have made a difference at Surigao Strait if it had not been torpedoed before getting there. But I don't care all that much because WG would just screw it up like they have done with so much else. But the ships with radar are not that useful in CoOp because the bots don't tend to hide in smoke anyway.

[@Nebulachadlazzar]

Hey sealord please try the cali in brawl.The accuracy is like a railgun within 10km

[@sardaukerlegion]

Hilarious that you first hated the Torpitz, but in other videos you love his bigger brother Pommern. I got Roma's twin "Littorio" as a trainer, but since i got Napoli the Littorio is rotting in the harbor.

There is only 1 premium ship I regret buying, and it's the Tier 8 premium US destroyer, USS Kidd. The reason I regret buying it is that barely a week after purchasing it I won her in an official wows stream trivia contest. This was after wg decided that compensation for getting a ship you already had was only going to be credits, not doubloons. I could have spent my doubloons on another ship and I'd still have Kidd.

[@stefankrey4294]

Roma rocks! Tanky as hell, fast turning turrets, behaves more like a cruiser, insane concealment. Cannons hit like a truck, but need one, two, three tries more than other BBs.

[@onepunchbud1472]

Yeah, the concealment is so good. I play her more as a bruiser - close in, and pop cruisers at short - medium range. You cannot play her long-range imo.

[@oldewolfe6968]

I have a 21sec 180* Rotation on my Roma, and a 27sec Reload when Targets get to within my Secondary Range which I Boosted... Roma IS the Definitive Brawler, when you get this Ship Close to Other Ships, it erases them Quickly and Efficiently... The Reload is Plenty Fast at that Range and doing a Full Broadside Drive By, Your Guns stay ON Target when you do a Crossover of their Wake forcing them to try and Chase you with their Guns... By the Time you've Circled Back Around to their Other Side, you're Fully Reloaded and Ready to Finish what you Started.... Yes, at Range the Guns ARE Frustrating as Hell, but when Built into making Better Use of that Pen on it's AP and Removing the Range Issue, this Ship takes on a Whole New Flavor.... I don't NORMALLY Play in Pub Games in WoWS, I do that in Tanks and when THAT Annoys me, I come here for the Break in Coop to get my Head screwed back On... But I DID have a Game in Pub's a Good While Back now that the Roma Deleted someone that was Rather Surprised to have been Taken Out by a Ship "With a Chef's Hat" on it... He had Backup too, so I'd been Sailing Full Bow Tank into him and as we'd Passed each other I Unloaded the Full Salvo of 9 Guns into his Broadside and his Citadel just Vanished... As I Crossed his Wake, I was already almost Reloaded for his Backup and the Guns were already Training onto his Bow and Coming Around for the Broadside Pass on the Opposite Side of the Ship, this one took 2 Salvo's as the Rear Guns were Still Coming Around but were In Line to Catch him as he Passed my Aft Section... Someone Else Deleted Him, but that was Fine, they got Served a Generous Helping of Hurt and I went On to get a Win... Roma's not a Bad Boat, it just doesn't Fit into the Latest Island Humping and Sniping Game Play that everyone's Using... It NEEDS to get it's Hands Dirty in an Outright Slugfest... Ise I have, Tone I don't... I bought the First German Tier 8 Premium CV to see if I'd Like them, I don't, I don't do Well in CV's and WG has seen Fit to GIVE me Every Other CV/Hybrid that I have to also Include the Tier 10 German Premium CV... These are my Port Queens, BUT, the Hornet is the ONLY other CV I'd Buy just so I can Ogle the B24's on the Deck, but it'd still Stay in Port... Anchorage I don't Have, but Tirpitz was a Gifted Ship to me by a Friend of Mine after I'd JUST Started Playing the Game.... I Like Tirpitz, but Roma get's more Play Time, and Tirpitz has Torpedo's to Backup all it's Usual Bag of Tricks... I just took what I'd Learned in Driving German Heavy Tanks and Applied it to the Tirpitz when Sailing Into someone to Use the Torp's, Basic Sidescraping Skills paid Off BIG in the Ship... Tirpitz was also the Inspiration for Building Roma the way I did, with the Emphasis on the Secondaries and Maximizing the Main Guns WITH the Secondaries... And I don't have that Last One, the Pan Asian... I don;t think I have any Ships I Regret Buying, I mean the CV I bought doesn't get Out at all, but I don't Regret Buying it... If anything it's Shown what I have to Work On before I start any CV Grinds, and has Shown what the Weaknesses are to Playing CV's and their Planes, I can SEE from the Incoming Flight what they See of my Ship and take Steps to Avoid the Flight as much as I can... Only Ship I ever REALLY Wanted, I wanted BEFORE I heard about it's Status in the Game as OP OR that it was even Removed before I'd even started to Play, but it was Closer to the Tier's I was At or Getting Into, and it was when the Italian Cruisers were in Open Access, so I wanted a BB for the Line as well, that was the Ceasare... Once I found out I'd never GET that Ship, it kinda Forced me Into the Roma, but I'll never Regret that Buy, and with Sansonetti On Board, that Ships does Wonderful Things....

[@user-unit23]

Pretty bummed about the Anchorage after grinding out the dockyard. Weak AP shells too.

[@petekeberlein5577]

I'm a firm believer in leveling up the capt first before going too far on the tech tree. Usually by the time I get to T6 my capt is around 14-18 pts, depending on modifiers and if I decide to give WG more of my $ for premium lmao 😅. IMO level up the capt's first in lower tier games to make the higher tier games more manageable in the future........my 2 bits (mic drop).........

[@AlexFeldstein]

I see your points, but Roma and Tirpitz are good for me. Tone and Anchorage I do regret. Sun Yat Sen I skipped, for good reason.

[@brett76544]

wait was the anchorage a dock yard ship? I am not sure if you can buy it right now. Have the tone and anchorage. Anchorage was free as a lower ship in a dock yard event, but the tone was bought, and I have fun with it. The other ships, nope only if they are free and even then, they will collect dust.

[@meneldal]

The Sun Yat Sen is the poor man Musashi. You get almost the overmatch, you're not getting the damage but you do have some AA instead.

[@thomasdevera7073]

Bro shoved that submarine at 11:24

[@ArchangelHeaven]

tirpitz was my first and she is amazing :) but iwas dumb using it i was new to the game :)

[@hallasnackbar1865]

Anchorage is actually a great boat, drop hydro, take spotter and stop hugging islands.

[@rtyhhas]

i did the same with the tirpitz like you.

[@williamneitzel2249]

Personally, I have no issues with the TONE, you just need to get through her quirks, just like with most ships in the game. The ANCHORAGE, is in that same category with one exception. Give her either a Damage Con, or 9K radar. Either would make her a better ship to play. Your gripe on the TIRPITZ was not knowing HOW to play her (or any other higher tier ships) until you 'learned how to play those tiers. Still haven't acquired the SUN YAT SEN yet, so no opinion on her as of this time.

[@REgamesplayer]

Wanted Tripitz when I started playing. Never bought it. Always felt like it was crap. Even after buffs. It needed to be tier 7 without buffs to be good.

[@wstavis3135]

On this list, the Anchorage is the standout for really annoying ships. My thoughts on it were, "a Baltimore with smoke and torps? Sign me up!". The reality of it? Disappointment and frustration. Its rare that it preforms well enough to justify playing it as it has no utility at all.

[@nick_pappagiorgio]

I bought the Krasny Krym.

[@gleamingcolt]

Surprisingly, Roma on WoWs blitz is, kind of OP

[@donpfoutz625]

My biggest regret that I "paid" for? The Italian DD Leone. Yes I was doing the grind on Italian DDs, but I wanted the Leone so I spent coal on the containers. Playing him was not at all like the other DDs and it shows. No SAP, horrible angles, no fun. Maybe if I didn't play him in my usual style... I sold it for coin.

[@fluffyslippers5589]

Roma - HE... Its really the only way unless otherwise

[@joelfunk8730]

What about the Tiger 59?

[@jamescarlin1681]

What? No Asashio? It was the first ship I bought as a new player and wow. Only “good” thing was I got the assholio b in a gambling box, which enabled me to get some dubs back.

[@stephencocker5312]

The 1st Premium ship got was the HMS Campbeltown which is disappointing when I should have gone for HMS Gallant which is a much better low tier Royal Navy Premium Destroyer.

[@Stan9106]

Anchorage and Hizen are the ships I most regret buying.

[@poeticgrub7611]

Whaaatttttt...Tirpitz...nahhhh bro its still awsome. Buèt i hear your argument.

[@roadrunner2135]

You can actually refund anything that for any reason you didn’t like with the only rule being that you shouldn’t have played more than 1 game on it, I’ve tried it from doubloon ships to even coal commanders and they refunded me every single time

[@neran021292]

Roma is amazing :O

[@littlefaith8740]

I got them in containers but the mysore and tiger 58 were both soo underwhelming.

[@jerrywise1194]

I received my Roma Via a Super container its usable in spite of the guns

[@suryia6706]

I bought the yubari during the beta pre-release. I had the sims so it wasnt a question of getting access to beta. Its just bad

[@sandbergius]

Yubari is pretty weak. But it has strengths like accuracy (Aiming Mod 0!!!) and its destroyer like maneuverability. Its basically a DD hunter with defensive torps and good kiting abilitys. Plus it's AA and +1MM makes it almost immune to CVs.

[@gernhard.reinholdsen]

The cautionary tale hit home - got the Thunderer for coal just before she got taken out, highest tier at that time being 7 (I grind pretty much everything simultaneously, meaning I'm progressing hilariously slow). Overall win rate: 53 Thunderer win rate: 37. Did not have fun and still not an enjoyable ship for me up to this day.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

Thunderer is like a glass cannon. It's powerful, but doesn't last long under fire. Thunderer isn't fun to play for me either - forced to sit back and snipe.

[@yhormthemidget]

​@@Joshua-fi4ji Tbh every ship dies quickly if you are in a bad position, is is not a Thunderer exclusive. However, she is wasted as a sniper. She is hilariously strong mid range with her godlike AP and accuracy. Sure, you can fall back to snipe HE if needed but it should never be the default playstyle. She is nimble and stealthy enough to get to a good position.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

@@yhormthemidget my point was more that she has the same armour and HP as Conqueror, but lacks the heal and therefore doesn't last long under HE spam, etc. I know she's very strong, but I personally find Legendary mod Conqueror and St Vincent are more versatile and fun to play. I used to play 18" Conqueror back when we could. Thunderer thrives as a second line ship, where others can tank for you and you have space to dodge. I just don't find that as fun in a BB and understand why others also may not.

[@blszekken4013]

I havent tried it, nor do I intend to. But it's wild to me that people say Sun Yat Sen is less accurate than Georgia when it has the same dispersoin and .1 better sigma

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

I don't think Georgia is that accurate. It's probably because when Georgia's shells connect, they deal a lot more damage. Also different arcs. The higher velocity guns on Sun Yat Sen probably throw off the shells more.

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche4303]

What makes Rochester better than anchorage?

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

Faster fire rate, better gun angles, lower detect when firing from smoke, more agile, I think more accurate. Played both and Rochester is much more comfortable. I don't think either are amazing ships though. Radar is generally more useful than smoke.

[@Phil1_427]

Kii>>>Roma I want to love German BBs but im not good at them...Tirpitz was a frustrating ship for me and i didnt like it

[@painzx3ify]

My regret was the Constitution. Ship and skin was a pretty penny for not being a great battleship.

[@Warsaw1]

I’ve decided to give this game a break, I feel so burnt out.

[@obinator9065]

hm, I personally love the Roma

[@Oniontrololol]

I’m using brandenburg over my tirpitz

[@majormogli3772]

roma??? LOL...its one of the best ships ingame (tier 8 bb) and one of the most played for me. no other bb on t8 does more damage and can farm more credits as roma! its an absolut must have ship!
