World of Warships- Velos First Impressions: Just Another Fletcher, Or Something Special?

[@jabaited]

If they could gave her a radar or hydro like Black or F.Sherman , that would make her great, right now, she's just felt like Fletcher, i'm ready to trade DFAAs for something more useful

[@arczer2519]

hydro with maybe bit slower gun reload would be nice combo, given it already has more 11k more DPM than Fletcher while having better concealment

[@jabaited]

@@arczer2519 yeah, I just hate WG just slap DFAAs on everything even their AAs already not good, it's like polishing a turd

[@jaywerner8415]

Dfaa is more useful than you might think. Particularly if you have a lot of flak.

[@Lancista]

_CV's:_ *Are you sure about that?* 😒

[@jabaited]

@@jaywerner8415 and Velos has 2+1 flaks with 1k5 damage, plus her long range AAs are abysmal with no short range, so DFAAs are useless for her

[@charlescassels3826]

It’s not the Fletcher we all want and it’s not the Greek ship we all want. *sad in Georgios Averof*

[@catguy9229]

Good job WG art and ship design on this ship! Looks great and I am happy there is no gimmicks!

[@PriestessOfSlaanesh]

i hate ships with no gimmicks

[@hiddentruth1982]

yep the last fletcher sailing was with the Mexican navy. That's an impressive record for a ship. Don't know why we gave them up.

[@arch_2076]

money

[@admiralthrawnbar4899]

Worth noting that you don't have to buy your way through the whole chain if you just want the ship, if you finish the web campaign, that also unlocks it to be purchasable for dubs, you only need to go through the chain if you want the fancy camo

[@jimk8592]

Oh man, thanks, just saw it! :)

[@Kolobochok95]

I really find the EU narrow torpedo spread on Fletcher torps to be quite deadly. Because if you hit you hit like a truck.

[@ironmann16]

The Velos looks incredible with the event skin on it, and I'm sure it's a fantastic ship... But where the hell is our damn Willie D!?

[@CJ_Welch]

As in Willy D Porter?

[@ironmann16]

@@CJ_Welch the very same

[@woody4077]

of course they had surplus flecthers they made almost TWO HUNDRED YES TWO HUNDRED of them

[@HZ001]

When will you talk about the T10 IJN torpedo cruiser? I forgot the name but it has 4×1 155mm gun on the front while the back end has 10 shimakaze torpedo mounts 5 on each side. It has a new smoke I believe the canister icon had orange caps. Different than the two smokes I know of (default and the Italy). As for any thing else this is something I found a few weeks ago

[@jammo7370]

The kitakami? Afaik it was canned very early in the game’s life and you cant use it anymore, it’s just not in the game

[@pummychaudhary4755]

Everyone wants a Willie D. Potter

[@nickheffernan123]

Except the president on the Iowa 🤣

[@Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

Except Snape.

[@yeehaw8940]

so which one is the fletch we all want, Johnston or Willy D? Hero or Clown?

[@1121sabre]

Johnston for sure for me :)

[@hiddentruth1982]

it doesn't have the Austin Powers?

[@sardaukerlegion]

So this makes 5 Fletchers ingame: Kidd, Fletcher, Black, Chung Mu, Velos. I already own 4 of them, not that excited to get this one.

[@steven6888]

Where do you put the kidd in all this .May be a better value for coupon too.

[@TheGuardianofAzarath]

Ireally like the trireme camo for this ship, and I’ll definitely be getting that

[@SofaKingA]

That's about the only thing worthwhile on this ship. You whalin pretty hard.

[@Chad-hp2qh]

I would say get the Forest showman because it’s a tier 10

[@mikedignum1868]

Good show last night SL. Still not sure id get it over a Fletcher.

[@metwo1492]

Mountbatten, it is ridiculous of you to suggest that destroyers should have advanced ASW capabilities. Everyone knows that the best ship to fight a submarine is a battleship.

[@cghul7315]

U mean carrier they were built for it

[@naval76legends15]

Ty for velo video

[@missk1697]

The birthday coupons are still not here, sigh

[@denovemportem]

Regarding EU commanders for this ship: If you already have a commander set for the Blyskawica I guess it would suit Velos just fine ;)

[@auriannakomo975]

Considering I moved to Greece to live together with my amazing greek woman ❤ I kind of had to whale hard on this. I mean they baited me really hard on this :P

[@legohistorysam]

So we got this Fletcher model done for Velos. Why not make the exact same model but to the USS the Sullivans!

[@357Striker]

The Juneau? Thats just an Atlanta we have like 4 atlantas

[@joelfunk8730]

Give us USS Johnston. Similar with two torpedo racks and 5 guns with a 2 second reload. Could make it a T10 Fletcher

[@Sira_Kackavalj]

30k doubloons fletcher but with euro torps

[@uwebergold8164]

nope..u have to play the campaign and then she will be available for € or 19.3 k dubs....... normal price, but yes she could be a way cheaper or with a hydro

[@pickeljarsforhillary102]

Waiting for JMSDF Fletcher.

[@ted5567]

I have visited velos before 35 years as a kit

[@majestichotwings6974]

shame that her consumable aren't totally compatable with her traits. DFAA on a ship that doesn't already have beefy AA is silly, hydro would be a much more useful option if they won't make her AA strong. Also given the strength of her torps, I'd run a lot of torp commander skills.

[@baronofrhodes1185]

She seems like what the Fletcher *should* be with the new meta.

[@mr.flipwagen]

Shame that Velos is behind a massive Paywall. I do like it's look, but my god I don't want to spend that much money for one ingame item

[@jammo7370]

if you complete the web campaign i think you can get it for standard T9 premium pricing. dont see why you would though, when you can get kidd for much cheaper a tier lower

[@sealordmountbatten]

Just wait a few months for her to come out for dubs, then use the ships for dubs coupon to get a really good deal on her

[@CJ_Welch]

3”/50 auto cannons instead of 40mm Bofors, interesting

[@TruckingShooter]

Can't get for coal so it's a no go for me.

[@SofaKingA]

Hmm, nothing special about this ship. I would give it 6/10. If I spend cash I want gimmicks tbh. Otherwise just grind the tech tree and not spend cash and resources.

[@faiflowright01]

Could''ve at least given it the hedgehogs asw as an additional.

[@wtpiv6041]

You say "just another Fletcher" like its a bad thing. Still, only having one torp rack is hard to justify when Kidd exists a tier lower. Otherwise the Black or even Fletcher herself seem like way better options.

[@TheKCaryer]

Kidd, even with Benson Torps, at Tier 8 seems better.

[@Lancista]

_So! There is 1 Researchable Fletcher-Class Destroyer 🇺🇸 which is more than enough! Are you planning to add the other 174 Sister Ships as Premiums?_ *Is that the future of WoWs WeeGee?* 🤦‍♂️👎

[@dutch0770]

Me looking for SCAR 17 2nd impressions..... and i see this.... sigh 😞

[@ssrudis]

wg take my 3 no money

[@andy816896]

Great coal ship not worth it for real money. Oh and the camo was designed by a player in the comp that was held a while back....

[@90witito]

Just doing the missions for the rewards... Way better then buying this ship

[@scottie6302]

Love your work Mountbatten but this is Just Another money grab by wargaming.

[@Squantanamo]

Say it with me. Try-reem. Trireme
