Argentinian Cruiser "San Martín" Review

Argentinian Cruiser "San Martín" Review - World of Warships Blitz

One of the first questions coming to mind with a new tech tree line is - "is it worth the grind". Well, at tier 10, we find the very suspiciously Worcester-esque "San Martín". Light cruiser with support role? Sign me up. But how can she perform outside that?

I really enjoy the tier 9 and the tier 5. Thanks for the great video.

Haven't tried T9 yet, but La Argentina is up there with the Königsberg imo. Excellent ship.

@@FunandGameswithTerryHow about whenever you do a Tier9 ship review that you play a ranked game. Use your good offices with wargaming to get a guarantee to say ranked will always be Tier9.

@@FunandGameswithTerry The Tier 9 feels like a mix between A Worcester/ Seattle and Rochester its a solid ship in my opinion. The Tier 5 Is excellent i agree. Also she was a real ship that almost was saved as museum ship too

Just a quick historical note, the Argentinian navy acquired two brooklyn class cls during the cold war, one of which was sunk by the British during the falklands war

And yet, _and yet_, they decided to make T8-10 "could have been Worcesters" instead of using actually existing ships, which would have been perfectly fine for the role, or at least to fill 8 and 9. They even mention it in the detail - "they bought Brooklyns, but if they hadn't, this could have been..." I will never understand that.

Thanks! I've been learning some new skills on image editing from UAD and HOI4 videos, so I'm trying to throw in some variations for Warships Blitz videos as well. Glad you like it! Also, gave me an opportunity to right a wrong and throw in the Argentinian Naval Jack.

I am enjoyung La Argentina as well. It is very good. Sadly I couldn't get any of the higher tiers, but I'll grind to them. The Argentinian Navy did purchase a British light cruiser that still fought in the Falklands, although it was sunk by torpedoes, I think the ship was renamed General Belgrano by Argentina. This cruiser served from 1951 to it's sinking in the 1980's. But yea, no work was made on the Americans designing a cruiser based on the Worcester for Argentina. In fact, the Americans were very much against South American nations buying ships from European nations. Another fun fact about the Pan American cruisers is that someone actually made designs on actual design plans for real South American cruisers but WG basically copy pasted some already existing designs and added some new stuff and all. But anyway, I can't wait to start the grind to the San Martin once the line is released

Actually Terry part of radar guidance are shells splashes , the radar detects the splashes as well as the ship , this data is then added into the firing solution , so in fact the shell splashes are very much a part of this . As always , great videos and much appreciated.

@FunandGameswithTerry 10 ай бұрын

I honestly didn't know that - had a quick look at the Mark 37 gun fire control system manual, and you're right, it does use splash tracking for surface fire radar direction. I'm not 100% sure I grasped _how_ they're doing it (given that you can have multiple ships dropping shells, how do they distinguish?), but it sounded like they use fixed salvo intervals to pin them down. The IJN, of course, solved that in a more "colourful" way... Thanks for the info!

@johnnyzippo7109 10 ай бұрын

I learned this from an original copy of the Mk.37 fire directors manual I found in a used book store , I am glad you brought up the matter of other ships shell splashes , that is addressed , and gives me reason to go back and read up , cheers M8t.

I got tiers 3 4 and 5 out of the event. I haven't really played them much, but I think I'm going to enjoy La Argentina, and i'm surprised Vicente Guerrero at tier 3 has the combat instructions. Might be a really good ship.

@FunandGameswithTerry 10 ай бұрын

Review for La Argentina upcoming, but I can already tell you that she's up there with Königsberg for one of the best T5 CLs imo. She doesn't have the rudder shift debuff higher tiers get.

In English one good way to describe the T10 play on Asian server is “static” vs mid tier play on NA server could be described as “dynamic.”

@FunandGameswithTerry 10 ай бұрын

Very true. It had relaxed somewhat for a while, but now it's pretty much back to that again. It's not my preferred style to be honest, I like a fluent battle better than sitting baseline for half the game, but on the other hand, it's also a nice tactical challenge

5:25, I find funny the game says the San Martin is a little longer than Worcester, despite the reduced number of turrets, and oh boy, the Worcester is simply the largest CL ever built. Still not as bad as the Yodo being much larger and heavier than Zaō

@FunandGameswithTerry 10 ай бұрын

I think the size measurements in-game are not necessarily real or representative, but yes, they're large ships. This works ok on Worc, since she can dance, but this one likes to go in a straight line :) I like the ideal that Yodo represents - IJN can't build more ships than USN, so they just make them bigger.

Nice one, like to see more of the line. Also it's great, that you keep up the Smolensk-Fury 😅🫣 love it But I also have a request, can you revisit the Colombo one time. How is today, after the bug. Some say it's still the strongest BB, would you agree?
