I Really like the Alaska as well. They should give us a German T10 Supercruiser as well as some point with 13 inch guns or something and call it Wingthør or something. Nice Video! ^^

Hello hello Flamu. I'm very close to 1 million Free XP, do you think that I should get Alaska or should I wait for something else? Thank you for your videos, you really made me a better player.

still prefer stalin or moskva over this. But team wise, its true that alaska can do magic

last time I saw flamu's port flamu was a billionare captain did wg robbed him all of a sudden :D

@@ROBERTO-in2iq Alaska All the way

Its a Battlecruiser It looks like a BC It acts like a BC It plays like a BC Its a BC

A. Cunningham Nope.

Supercruiser.

@UncappingBadger my understanding was that a BC is supposed to seek out and destroy cruisers, meaning the Alaskas were not BCs because they were supposed to defend the carriers *from* heavy cruisers. Cruiser-killer yes. Battlecruiser no.

@UncappingBadger due to improvements in gun and ammunition design, their guns actually had better penetration at most ranges than the older 14" guns on the US Superdreadnoughts, so she could probably give some of the older IJN capital ships a run for their money. But I agree on all other points, they weren't BCs.

Money or free xp?

@@anidiot2818 Free XP.

@@darkodin2007 okay. I'm now at 800k free xp and it took me roughly 4 years to get this amount, I'm not sure if I should spend all on the Alaska if I reach the million. I could spend money. However 50€ is to much.

@@anidiot2818 this ship is just so damn much fun and worth it. I hurt everything even in t10 matches

@@darkodin2007 thx, I'll think about it. Wasn't interested so far because I had the Missouri as credit farmer at T9. But it isn't a fun ship with its shotgun dispersion.

Stanz Frost I actually nuked a Lexington with all citadels in my once. One of the most satisfying shots I’ve been made.

Not an issue at all

only by ramming XD

Last time cv spotted enemy cv at start of game, i was running spotter and so fired at the CV, citadeled him and killed him.... He was first blood

saw you in game couple days ago o7

Love warthunder for tanks and planes, but WoW is just so much better in terms of ship gameplay

Lmao because it was a bb1 and that size was just too big

No one called it that. Alaska was a good BB1. You can consistently block shoot with the 12" guns. The Guam was even better.

USN CA > CL period. Cleveland was a monster when it was at tier 6, now it's a shadow of what it was. Dallas and Helena also are underwhelming. But boy, Pepsicola, New Orleans and Baltimore are monsters. Try going down the CA branch, you'll be surprised how fun they are. Baltimore is a freaking OP pos, in tier 8 ranked I just dominated with it, and in Coop i regularly do 120-150k damage. HE is brutal against DDs and at long range against BBs and bow-in cruisers, AP is brutal against cruisers and BBs at close range, and when you press Def AA and reinforce the sector, you can really punish attack squadrons. You can't delete them, but you can shoot down 3-5 planes in one run

tamas lapsanszki I’ve been considering going down the CA branch, once I get the USN BB’s done (I’m at the Iowa now). After reading your comments, I’m for sure going to try it. Cheers

Can definitely agree on the player improving part; I feel so much more aware and improved as a player since playing Alaska. I still need to learn how to get better at it though.

Expert Loader is gold standard for any heavy cruiser captain. It's mandatory. Alaska is rather versatile as a captain trainer, you can use your typical Baltimore build with SI/DE but the best option is probably a tank build like Flamu's, especially given all the nonsense HE spam there is these days

Stefano Crosazzo I found that out rather quickly. I’ll need a specific captain for Alaska if I’m to really benefit from the good qualities of the ship. People tend to treat her like a BB and spam HE nonstop. And expert loader would be greatly appreciated.

Wolves8 Pr1de I’d suggest grinding Moskva before it gets removed from the tech tree line

I just grinded out the Moskva and i absolutely hate it but it's worth it just so you will get another tier 10 as the replacement and 2 for 1 is always a no brainer.. And the Alaska is way better than the Moskva.

Same. Best $100 I ever spent in this game. I've definitely gotten my moneys worth. I've been having a lot of fun in the Georgia as well.

Thats like every match it seems, regardless of tier.

Danack Karma is a Bitch!

Even tho i'm not flamu, here the answer: Yes she does. She has the exact same guns as Alaska. What maybe makes you feel she don't is probably the fact that her dispersion is by far more trolly and the overall higher armor on T10 battleships.

@@xpaiinlezzz You don't have to be flamu :). I am happy about any kind of input. Yeah the dispersion indeed feel trolly. I asked the pen question because even on shots which do land pretty decent I get shatters (on not angled ships). It starts to get frustrated. Also shooting citas on broadside battleships at 8 km don't work as good as with the alaska. Maybe I just get trolled by the game. Thanks again for the input.

Yup, I was about to say: poor DM, he wants to talk strategy with you and you don't read Russian. :(

Bernie Wu it’s the clear waters mod, I think it’s in Aslan’s mod pack.

@@glitchrr36 Thank you

I know. I hate the new look of the water. It looks too soft and synthetic.

The bow no Everything else yes

stefanos perivolaris it’s also because the shop has such low citadel that most cruisers can’t hit it The citadel roof is only overmatched by big BB guns

@Lusty true 12 guns outdamage 9 or 6 most of the time and she burns like a bb

She has a learning curve. I love how he points out how hard her citadel is to hit. I remember my first 10 or so matches with it was nothing but a slew of Dev Strikes before I just learned to hang back and be more passive with her.

replay bug

I was thinking its pretty mediocre.. dont touch her..

I think wg have a rule on not nerfing premium ships

@LoneStrider well, Smolensk is not a premium ship, and let's be honest, technically it is a nerf, but with thinner belt armour it will get more overpens. About Graf Zeppelin i have no idea, pretty sure they won't directly nerf it

I see enough, and they always wreck my day.

Fortunately, they can't. Alaska has been sold for cash in the premium shop, and WG has a policy to not nerf ships that were sold that way.

@@Ethereal-ss3jh oh thank god

I read about this yesterday. Sounds like an interesting theory.
