Detection was actually greater than gun range IIRC. Radar range was 8.47 km not the current 10 km. There was a third buff too... reload rate maybe? Bottom line: Indianapolis isn’t bad now.

I totally disagree with the indy as well. It's very good in the right hands and radar is always a useful tool for a team.

Zeppelin is a tragedy. I am going to be honest, I pretty much only play WoWs with a bunch of friends who're high-tier so I decided to just buy my way to tier 8, got the tirpitz, GZ and the Kii. Pretty much had Tirpitz and Kii sitting uselessly in my harbor for forever because I just liked CVs that much. Then they nerfed the GZ, and I legit decided to rather play the game alone for months to get a tier 8 tech carrier then to continue playing this literal floating wreck. I have since all but given up playing the game entirely.

Mikasa is a fun ship, go for the secondary build and use the Zulu Flag (for immersion) and shred the hell out of any DDs... and ohhh yeah, you forgot to mention Yahagi

[@CloneDAnon]

I disagree about GZ. Its actually really good. It has pretty strong rocket planes and easy to land torps (against BB's). Against cruisers you have the AP bombers that you can attack with from any angle. Great secondaries protect you from close range DD's and the fast speed of the planes means you can keep up the pressure. I have had some really good games in GZ when i finally got it in 9.2.

[@nualanet]

I enjoy watching the various contributor's "best" and "worst" videos. Yours in particular. I like to get the various impressions and play styles from each and compare before deciding to snag one in a sale or w/e. Of course much depends on liking that particular ship and/or it's primary play style. The best ship in the game will not bring joy to someone who loathes it for one reason or another. I'm not inclined to want Yudachi, it doesn't appeal to me overall. U.S.S. Indianapolis, I'm neutral on... I have it, it's a fairly typical U.S. cruiser at tier, meh... Mikasa as a full-on secondary build with at least a 10 point commander? Love it!!! I have fun melting ships and gathering up the medals. But I have a spot for the old, historical behemoths. Same for the Viribus Unitis. I do well in the VU also... I find it a fun ship to play. Graf Zeppelin is too much for me to drop the money on for the mediocre CV performance, but I would love to have one decked out as a full-on secondary surface ship just for ... and grins.

[@Omegawerewolfx]

Nice list Sea Lord. I bought the Indianapolis with a 20% off coupon and don't regret it all. Always been a fan of the Portland class since my NavyField days. The Indianapolis could use some buffs true but its not that bad. Kinda surprised the Krasny Krym isn't in this list.

C'mon mate. The Indianapolis delivered the atom bomb to the island of Tinian in the pacific. The Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber 'Enola Gay' delivered the bomb to Japan by air mail. On a lighter note pilot Colonel Paul Tibbets named his aircraft after his mum. Unlike most bomber pilots who thought of much more saucy or evil names for their aircraft. Great video though and I totally agree with your choice of 5 worst.

[@spiritusmundi5398]

Don't forget the Genova, the Tier V Italian cruiser. Although you can get it without having to pay for it through using the Italian tokens, I still think this ship is pretty bad. It has no smoke that the other Italian cruisers get but more importantly, its main guns have a 20 sec reload. Seriously? 20 sec reload for a tier V cruiser? Even my Tier 9 French cruiser the St Louis has guns that take less than half that time to reload. The Genova seriously needs a buff.

[@ainzooalgown7589]

[@shinkicker404]

I've have fun with GZ even if it isn't that good. The dive bombers are pretty fun though. But really, GZ is there to look sexy and lure horny Cruisers and impressionable Destroyers into secondary range, those secondaries are one point.

[@thebes118]

I love Mikasa! Get to ten point captain and use secondary's. Use speed flag. Have to dodge torps and get close to DD's, then chew them up. Sure not a beast, but fun. With the Virbius I had an over 100k game. It would be nice if WG would go down at least ten bucks on what they charge for all the prems.

[@Caelum_NLD]

Which DD will let you get close to them with Mikasa's "breakneck" speeds even with a speed signal on (105% of superslow is still really slow). I mean, all the other ships will outrun the Mikasa and it isn't like it's suddenly popping out of nowhere because of it's speed or concealment. If you find a DD captain that would get in range of this BB's secundaries, you got like a complete newbie or a noob behind the wheel of said DD and as a mikasa owner, I can tell you there ain't many of them around.

[@thebes118]

Sure there are. I have sunk quite a few. At tier two it usually is newbies anyway. But I have gotten other ships that way too. Not every game of course. I can also hit ships with the main guns fairly well. Just have to get used to them. They do have some bad dispersion. I always use HE. I got her up to a ten point captain with secondary's extended a tad. Which is ok since it's mostly the smaller maps. Yeah it can be pretty rough at times. But I guess I just enjoy a challenge. That's why I play every ship I own, even the Krispy Kreme.

[@Caelum_NLD]

@@thebes118 Then I get put into MM with veterans and newbies with better intuition it seems as they all stay at range most of the time for me. And main gun dispersion is usually one in front and one behind the ship when aiming at the bow. And I use a 14 point captain fully secondary specced.

Why did u put yudachi on the list. She is a great dd if u know how to play her and she is not a torp boat like the others. I find myself getting 100k dmg quite often. Then again i am a dd main and know what i am doing in the japanese dd's. But if she is played right then she is great. And the turret traverse is like all the other torp boats inside the japanese tech tree so u should not say anything about the turret traverse. I am not looking for an argument i just wanted to say this as this is how i find the yudachi.

[@Anldiot69]

The graf Zeppelin can kill dds with secondaries? Wish my tirpitz could do this, because even with full secondary build they can't hit shit. I don't like Cv's in general. I tried to attack a single, camping Yamato with my midway dive bombers in a game. All bombers died before any plane could reach it. I really liked my T6 Japanese cv, could do decent dmg, but hate the T8 shokaku. The AP bombs hit hard, but even if the enemy boat is nearly complete in the drop circle, they fall into the very small area of water and the planes get distroyed even by a fuso after 1 attack.

[@ShadowOfMachines]

Mikasa is just there for the lols. It has accuracy that is as good as any German BB and it makes me chuckle. Oh, and Viribus Unitus should have been kept at tier four. It is more of a tier four ship, not five. It can be fun but tier seven ships can absolutely wreck you, let alone CVs.

[@admiraltee]

I agree with the people here saying Indi doesn't deserve "worst 5 Premiums" list. She has her "cons" of course and has likely suffered from powercreep. Her "pro's" of course are what keep her out of this "worst 5 list" in my opinion: 1- for her tier can "tank" (for a cruiser...) fire from other cruisers when bow in. 2- as mentioned, her radar is Des Moines TX radar... That's powerful and in the recent ranked sprint, she performed better than poor ;) 3- her range was great but thanks to powercreep it's just "good" now 4- for all the faults of American cruiser shells, her AP shells have better auto bounce angles and that helps. The 8" AP shells are good. So - she's not a great ship and I'm by no means saying she is. She's just not in the "worst 5 premium ships" either.

[@Aydenn_1k]

Graf is do bad right now, the bombs are so useless, the circle where they drop is huge, and they only drop 2 bombs! How is that balance compared to Enterprise where you drop more bombs, yout aiming reticle is actually is shape of a ship and your planes have more HP

[@manuelmejia7568]

I use Mikasa on my first match to help "calibrate" my computer to the WOWs game program. Always use for co-op.

[@prisonerofthehighway1059]

I kinda disagree with you about Indianapolis. She’s hard to make work solo in randoms. It’s amazing in divisions. Hydro and radar on the same shop at t7 is very useful. Team up with a Atlanta and a dd or British cruiser with smoke. If another cruiser try’s to push into your smoke, pop him with that sweet American AP. For solo play I follow the DDs up and duck behind an island to contest the cap. Like a Des Moines at t7.

The situation in the Yudachi I'll have to let slide based on the presentation. Still probably not the best clip to have chosen. As for the GZ, it's easily my favorite of the premium CVs. You really need to be careful with your target selection and not waste your planes remembering that she is an armored CV and can take punishment to push in a bit and get her secondaries working for you especially if you invest in a full secondary build. You just can't treat her like the other CVs. As for the Indy, she's been power crept, but the last time I pulled her out was actually one of the best games I'd actually had. With proper positioning and ammo selection she can do very well for herself. Very few ships upteir well though and Indy is no exception. Equal teir or top teir and she can do well. I only have the GZ and the Indy from this list but I don't regret having either of them. In fact I wish I'd been one of the few to get hands on the GZs RTS form, controversial as that may have been. Things I'm surprised aren't on this list: Krazny Krym and Asashio.

[@CapitanoAraym]

Yudachi???? It's now the premium version of the old Shiratsuyu pre-nerf. That was nerfed just because both smoke and torpedo reload consumable was deadly. Surelly, if anyone plays it with the 15km range torps, it's going to suffer. Go for "torpedo acceleration" skill, and get back the pre-nerfed shira+2km torpedo range as it was, and enjoy "the 16 "wall of skills" torpedo actually hitting things. The role is mid-range stealth torpedo boat, not surelly a ship to gunfight anyone, neither a long range torp boat using the 15km stock range. Indianapolis, then is a damn good USA radar boat for tier 7, with the full 10km heavy USA cruiser radar, and pretty decent concealment. If you go in open water for sure it a risky ship, but using the brain isdeadly to surprise DDs (and plaing for the team). And it isn't neither the squishier USA cruiser around at tier 7. And you got the good USA heavy AP with better angle penetration: learning to use them became extremely useful against other cruisers.

Guns like a shotgun that also don't hit at close range and the worst BB armor imaginable, overmatched by pretty much any other BB it meets in battle and unable to shatter HE from anything that fires in its direction.

Mikasa is just bad. if it had better secondary range and the ability to mount multiple equipment slots with secondary boosting upgrades, it would be nice. Problem with it is, aside from the awful secondary range and useless main guns it's sitting at tier 2 where the DD meta is at its worst as there isn't any good counters to DDs at those tiers on top of that and the issue of facing it 3 BBs, on top of that it's horrific speed will cause you to get burned down before you make it remotely close to anything. You can't enjoy the derpy fun factor unless you get close and 99 out of 100 games you'll get melted before you get that close. IT also has the problem with its AP being useless, it'll either overpen, bounce, shatter, or just miss targets regardless of range.

Viribus doesnt belong on this list in my opinion but its your list. I think there are many more worthwhile ships for this list like krispy kreme, exeter, marblehead and the list goes on. One thing that does piss me off about viribus it was tested at tier 4 and never at tier 5 and as far as im aware there was nothing official that it was being tiered up.

[@sealordmountbatten]

Chris Nettos and for the surprise uptiering without much compensation, that why it’s on here

[@chuckles9702]

The Indy is pretty much a New Orleans... and that makes it horrible on it's own (that and it's garbage for captain grinding because of it's Kirov like detection range. I got it for chump change through a steam promotion.

[@ismetozcan3407]

Try the DoY worst tier 7 bb her armor is bad and burn like a tea bag all 7 bbs pen bow and cit hit

[@armyman29340]

I wish you’d remake this video and update it.

[@agnyr]

I'm surprised that neither Yahagi or Genova didn't get into this "top 5" - I think that Viribus Unitis is (as far as it really should stay in T4) better then these two new premiums...

[@MARSRigel1]

Graf Zeppelin, yeah remember the absolute shit storm back when she was first released? I think that was the point when the community lost their patience with WG. And they deserved it after shitting the whole community like this.

[@jamesfelten5179]

I won a Mikasa, just grinding...I found it fun to play.

[@Evangeline.F]

Mikasa? Yes, it's derpy, but I'd not call a ship with like double the effective hp pool of the next best T2 ship underpowered. Yes, you won't hit much, but when you hit, that's a good chunk of their hp gone. Something gets into secondary range, it's pretty much dead. It's not OP, but certainly, something had to give for this tankiness to be allowed at that tier. Viribus Unitis: Was only T4, never T3. But speed and hp pool is on T3 level. GZ: It got pulled? I know Enterprise got pulled for being OP af. If GZ got pulled though, don't worry. We'll soon get GZ B.

[@Caelum_NLD]

A big healthpool doesn't make this ship good. Or fun for that matter. It hits hard, I agree, but you almost never hit something. And you are overselling the secundary effectiveness, that is, if there is something stupid enough to stay where they are so you can sail to them or actually sail into 3.8 km range of your ship. The latter isn't necessary at all because there is only one ship in Mikasa's MM that needs to get below 4 km to drop it's main damage dealers and that is Derzki. En when Derzki gets within 4 km, it's on Derzki's terms, which means that you will get 10 torps every 10 seconds in your bow at point blank range which you can't outdmg with your secundaries and you can't follow Derzki with your mains either. The rest of the DDs snipe from outside of your secundary range so you have to use your mains, which ain't gonna hit them. Cruisers won't get close either as they don't have to for them to burn you down, so you have to pray to the RNG gods too for you to hit hem. Then you got T3 BBs, which outmatch you in every way possible. The thing you do most in Mikasa is hope you chose the right capture point to attack/defend (as there isn't more time to sail to the next one after that before the match is over) and do battle with every ship on their terms as they dictate the range between you and them and pray alot for your main cannons to hit the target as Roma is pinpoint accurate compared to Mikasa. But she takes some times to burn down and can take a lot of torps and when the RNG gods are good to you, her shell does a lot of damage. But she is only worth her money because she cost so darn cheap to buy, not because she is worth it gameplay wise.

[@Evangeline.F]

@@Caelum_NLD Just because it isn't fun doesn't mean it isn't good. Mikasa's accuracy woes are mostly due to having 4 guns and small targets, as the rest of her parameters is average for a BB. The secondaries do have one advantage that should not be underestimated. They prevent DDs from torping you point blank. Combined with the turning qualities of the ship, it allows Mikasa to avoid getting torped quite easily. Overall, Mikasa is not "bad", just too odd for a tier with no other BBs. And it doesn't need buffs, the current state of it is pretty much for the best, as we don't need a T2 BB that can just waltz over its opposition, nor one that is a T3 BB in disguise and it's for the better we don't get more predreadnoughts.

[@_rumple_5199]

@@Evangeline.F Sorry, you're deluding yourself. Mikasa is utter garbage. Any cruiser worth a salt is going to sit outside your secondary range and pelt you with HE...and I didn't even bother mentioning what a competent DD will do to Mikasa. Mikasa is good for a few lols in co-op, that's it. Luckily mine was free...well, the cost of a postage stamp anyway.

[@ironmann16]

The Indianapolis would be fantastic if she had a heal instead of radar imo. Very unfortunate

[@Rohrkrepierer88]

Still think that the Graf is wg biggest middlefinger to its fans . Especially for the folks who kept it because of the promise of a fix . It was great after the fix indeed, only to be broken to scrap by the carrier update . Just sad since it could be really an fun intresting ship , but its just junk at its state .

[@Kaiser_Waffel_XI]

I personaly love my GZ Its hard ro play But if you can get tha hang of it Then you have made it You have become a wehraboo

[@jagerbombasstic]

Got Graf Z and Indy. I agree with Graf Z fully I've still had very very good game in it because the DB are beastly BUT the whole time I'm thinking if I was in the Big E I'd probably have double the DMG. Indy is very very weak and gets clapped when out in T9 but when in T8 and T7 match making it is pretty good. Had a few great games in it. Also Indy-Chan is kawaii

[@dennis4774]

Portland got photos if you want some

[@longrider42]

The Indy, attracts Sharks :) American Heavy cruisers are all pretty sad, in one way or another.

T6 Japanese premiums are Mutsu and Ashitaka. I have both.
