World of Warships - WTF is this WG ???

Petropavlovsk - the brand new bias straight from Russian factories.
Holy Jesus and sweet mother of God what the actual fuck did they create O.o
I did not know what to exactly expect when I went in with this ship because I was sick for a week and I didn't touch WoWS. I only heard it's strong but this is ridiculous.
Russian navy is "finally" getting a cruiser that is regular size with decent concealment that somehow packs a punch as hard as Stalin himself.
Yeah this is exactly what we needed .

Well to be fair, US CA pen angles are 60-67.5 unlike the Petro with 50-65 degrees. Normal cruisers get 45-60 degrees and Stalin is in a weird spot with 55-65 degrees. That being said, when you have ~250 mm more penetration than the DM at all ranges, does the angle really matter? Shots that don't bounce with a DM will shatter, whereas Petro will probably be able to punch through and penetrate. Hell, it has ~150 mm more pen than the Moskva at all ranges. Remember when people thought Moskva had great penetration for a cruiser? For more context, its penetration is about the same as Bismarck's 380 mm guns, but with better penetration angles because balanz tovarisch

"Russian bias isn't a thing." Ever notice how almost every Russian ship ends up being incredibly OP breaks the game, and defies physics being able to out damage and penetrate things over double the caliber?

He clearly did not expect to overpen a Kremlin. Shooting citadel armor in a cruiser usually results in getting shatters. Not in Petropavlovsk though..

[@IIHoundII]

The comedy value of the video is launched to the orbit at 09:53. Those reactions I absolutely love them XD

[@weedsmith8467]

Flambino, not quite sure but the RU CA line also has the speshul dispersion formula of the RU BB line, better at close range, progressively worse at long range, hence the citadels.

[@patrickhughes8164]

WG did their research, they spent millions of man hours going to Soviet Naval archives. They found that the Soviet navy had railguns . We all know WG would never miss lead us about something like this. They are honest as the day is long.🤪 Can’t wait for the Soviet CV!🤮

[@Metallica4Life92]

"This thing is disguuusting" me: I want one. pls, daddy WeeGee?

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

Soviets in WW2: What's "Navy"? Soviets in this fucking game: I am become death destroyer of worlds.

[@stevenwright6573]

I just got mine last night. My new favorite ship. Citadel magnet shells laser accurate lol. Badass armor and AA with a radar for 20 seconds. Sweet.

[@alexlucas9535]

Since wg buffed plating on Moskva when Stalin came out to keep it relevant, and this Petropavlovsk has the same guns, then clearly Moskva is getting the same ridiculous pen that this thing has for good measure right? cause we clearly need more balance in this game da.

[@heardistance]

Forget the balance, this is WG strategy to get their money. Like in WoT, they bring constantly new and better ships/tanks they are way more powerful and player spending more money on flags, premium, camo to get them. This is just business.

[@SoldierOfFate]

@@heardistance God, this so much. Have people forgotten Conqueror when she was first released? That thing absolutely annihilated the BB meta (randoms at least)...at least until she was nerfed into an unplayable state.

[@majeedhabibi7348]

WG shut up and take my money , I can swap all of my ships even SMOLENSK for it. I want to punish Kremlins only. Best revenge ever. hahaha

[@Virgilfinnatell]

It's tech tree, no money needed. Only fxp.

[@evanlease803]

Battleship:has 300mm of armor Petro:I'm about to ruin this man's whole career

[@Miquiya]

Yep, apparently those shells have the same penetration as 380mm shells at max range. At short ranges the pen should be even better + dispersion is also so much more reliable.

[@timothysanders5701]

Face cam may have been the best thing you’ve ever done

[@S110SUBMAN]

The Cruiser we all need, but not the one we deserve right now...

[@ianhansford3160]

Somewhat OP, especially the 6 cit hit @9:54 against the Venezia.....

[@Capitainetim]

Fun fact, the rear turret is a 360° turret…. how many ship have this features, and with those big gun also XD

[@MARSRigel1]

All turrets are 360° in the Petro.

[@mwnciboo]

Higher tier Brit DD's - LEL. Petro is rid-don-culous.

[@001skm]

It is really annoying with all these russian premiums being released in the game for one of the most insignificant navies of WW2.... They should focus more on the other nations instead. (imo)

[@misterthegeoff9767]

Let's be fair, they were also one of the most insignificant navies in WW1

[@Crossroad4337]

They were/are an insignificant navy at all. But there‘s nothing loke propaganda! If there has never been a poweful navy, let‘s make up one and furthermore let‘s pretend it was the strongest one that has ever existed... In the end it‘s just WG’s and probably some other fellow russians‘ way of saying: we don‘t give a flying fart. Behaviour of a small man driving a huge car as a compensation...

[@Cyrtox]

I saw the stream and there was quite some discussion and assumptions regarding that ship that were incorrect... - It has very high pen, slightly better pen angles (not DM level!), short fuse (not UK level) and 360° turrets. - It will overpen due to the high velocity but this is somewhat counteracted by the short fuse - It is harder to citadel submerged or low citadels due to the very straight flight of the projectiles. Flambass was wondering why He citadelled a Kremlin but not a Montana. Well the Kremlin Cita sits relatively high. - It has a giant 25mm nose. This is NOT Moskva level (which has a tiny 25mm nose). It can somewhat bowtank but BBs will murder it. I am NOT saying this ship aint good. However there are some things people tend to forget when they see broadside citadels flying around. A DM would have murdered most of the targets even faster tbh.

[@jakubw.2779]

I've had no problem citadeling Iowa, yamato or Montana for that matter with my DM, but the fkn kremlin is bullet proof even for yamato 18" rounds at fkn 10km

[@BM-ri5uc]

Something better than Stalingrad will never.... WG: Hold my Vodka

[@Tonseren]

priceless faceexpression at @7:56 :D I had the exact same expression! :D

[@ArterialCanine]

Russian Bias pffft no such thing. We are all just dreaming. 😎

[@johnsun3854]

WG is a gaming company. But also a russian propoganda tool. The more you know...

[@davidblackman1586]

After getting a ricochet on a broadside Smolensk... Flam: HOW?!.... HOW?!

[@bellidrael7457]

-Bounces on a broadside Smolensk -Citadels a Kremlin

[@mazgazine1]

I wonder if wargaming is going to let this one in? lol its gonna get nerfed sooo hard.

[@OslikusPrime]

Yeah, just wailt couple monts and they maybe nerf AA's HP, down to 50%.

[@estoyaqui5386]

Hard nerfs are for German and Japanese ships. This thing will get its AA-mounts weakend, like Oslikus said.

[@drunkensloth8626]

Flambass: What is this thing? Me: It's beautiful *Tears*

[@imglidinhere]

I can't get enough of his reactions. I giggle like a school girl when he slaps the Venezia. I mean, you know it's an overpowered ship when Flambass asks "What the fuck IS this thing?" after playing one game in the ship. xD

[@TheGrandexeno]

YT recommending me again the infamous "petrosk's incident" video, with the invaluable Flambino's reaction

[@cein9952]

Demnn look at that velocity and arc

[@jugganaut33]

You know those ship eating torpedos from James Bond? The ones that chew up through the ship and explode. It fires those.

[@Nathan-hk5xp]

The sheer shock in Flambass's expression at 10:47

[@Gaiddan]

i had a good laugh - seriously that was a pleasure to watch 7:51 lmfao

[@phillewis1749]

"Special accuracy parameters" - Da working as intended

[@Fighterpilot555]

7:54 That moment when you out balance the *B A L A N S*

[@FreeMindInCrowd]

I haven't laughed so much in a long time to a wows video xD literally couldn't catch my breath laughing to his reactions

[@AH-pq7yw]

The shells are damn fast

[@linostockling485]

4:07 Petro so stronk it shoots through rock

[@rickphillips7221]

I think Stalin must be the new supervisor at war gaming

[@sergarlantyrell7847]

Yeah... At 7.8km this "light cruiser" has about 570mm of penetration... Not to mention: rail-gun velocity ( so near perpendicular impact angles), special Russian close-range super dispersion and improved ricochet angles. It only just has less pen at that range than a Bismarck, and more than a Monarch (at any range). This thing has more pen from 0-10km than a f***ing Kronstadt!

[@yiannisstamou8923]

how do you change the view? above or round the island?

[@renex_69]

7:54 I struggle to do that with a yamato

[@skitfire7578]

That humming at the beginning... Do you fancy yourself a dwarf Flambass?

[@jclark7638]

To top it off it apparently has the best gun angles of any ship in the game. So that huge turning radius, arguably the only difficulty this ship has, isn't even as much a thing as for ships that actually have to turn.

[@weddingside]
