As best as I tried, I did make a mistake in this video. 8:39 I mentioned 3 UR CA guns because I mistakenly recalled the Triple 305mm (12"/50 Mk 8) as being a CA gun, when in actuality it's a CB gun. While a CB can choose between the 2 guns, a CA can only select the later. I apologize for the mistake, it doesn't really change any of the analysis in this review though.

Napoli probably has this weird gun setup because shes known as one of the best "secondary cruisers" in World of Warships. Her small caliber SAP guns shred other ships around her very quickly, so it makes sense that they tried to display this playstyle in AL as well. Her CL gun efficiency is really low though so not sure how effective it will be.

Nakhimov being insanely broken in Azur lane: 😁 Nakhimov being insanely broken in World of warships: 💀

Actually Kron does have a slow But you have to use her in the other fleet

As a retired lvl 136 account azur lane player i didn't expect my favorite ship in world of warship release here. For those who dont know what that ship gimmick in wows here a small explanation from my exprience using them: Napoli : Tier X Italy tanky heavy cruiser that make many battleship player swearing in the game because she just too tanky and who try to come closer to her....well she have deadly semi armor piercing(sap) secondary that make majority dd player afraid to come closer and even bb player think twice before come close to her,she have special italy smoke(exhause smoke generator) that will smoke the ship fully even when she move full speed and have torpedo. Her main battery gun is not her primary firepower because her main battery are mediocre but her secondary is her true firepower. Admiral nakhiimov : most broken Tier X russian cv and number 1 broken cv in the game that can bully anyone with devastating damage from heavy rocket,tight torpedo spread that hit harder to broadside ship,and skip bomber. Halford : broken Tier IX USS hybird DD in the game can bully anyone and give hell to bb with flood and fire combined, equipped with plane that have tiny tim rocket also can be use to attack,spotting, and bullying stealth enemy destroyer. Halford launch 1 seaplane from her catapul and the other 3 will join the fray from nowhere. Daisen : IJN Tier IX battleship that many people already fogotten and love to shoot, daisen is mediocre for battleship because Too big that make people focus fire on her when sighted....you know the rules.....big target are easy to hit, bad armor mean bad survivability, she also long and very loooong battleship but also have torpedo. Bayard : tier VIII french light cruiser that many people in world of warships call mini colbert, consistent dps consistent damage and reliable firepower.

A small minority ia calling PR7 mid, which I think is flat out wrong. All the new ships look amazing.

My thoughts on the designs of the PR7 ships. Halford: If Formidable was a tween and very much a brat. Daisen: That one character in an anime that is the comedic relief. Admiral Nakhimov: If Hikage from Senran Kagura was a cat girl and was wearing a semi transparent plugsuit from Evangelion. Bayard: If Mordred from Fate was French and wore blue instead of red. Napoli: An older sister/mom type but with some Italian flare to get her into nearing milf territory.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw Bayards acc debuff and thought of PvP. I'm a bit more optimistic about her being useful, though. Juneu being back as the third vanguard is kinda a sign that things are in flux and there's an opening; Junny often dies way too fast and ends up healing near-full-HP ships; her current use feels more like "Fortune Meta is falling out of favor and there isn't a better replacement". She's also got a more relevant torpedo stat... though not having a preload kinda sucks (though having a black torp tea torp launch later in the battle might be a consolation prize) A French vanguard buffs Alsace, as a side benefit (makes her debuff stick).

I think for the Russian fleet the timing should go Soyuz, then Nakhimov, then Chkalov so that Chkalov can get both damage boosts from Soyuz and Nakhimov.

Halford looks interesting as support for BBs fleets, sometimes you don’t need the vanguard to do damage and rely on the backline to do it, I think Plymouth - Halford and maybe Agir, Kashino, Bristol or Helena are good as vanguard supports. I might focus on her after Admiral Nakhimov.

rewatching this on my tv compared to my phones, i can now appreciate how stacked Admiral Nakhimov is. the background image makes her chest look top tier. also, great video btw

Doing Bayard first- Waifu > Meta

Another thing about Nahkimov is that her accuracy stat is the highest of all the rainbow carriers. So that on top of her self HIT buff gives her the most consistent effect on target out of all the rainbows.

Went for Napoli first just as an excuse to actually use Italian vanguard for once (also doing Emile Pessagno secretary quest so that works out) but holy crap am I excited to get Admiral Nakhimov (an excuse to level up Poltava and finish Gangut).

I got Nakhimov first, her skills are ridiculous tbh. Very disappointed with Napoli tbh, for a DR she doesn’t really do enough over Ägir or Hindenburg to justify the effort into raising her stats etc. I was really hoping Daisen would be good as I love her design with that more traditional ship girl look, instead of the dumb sci-fi mech stuff we have now which I dislike. A shame her bespoke gun is garbage, no idea what they thought they were doing there. After Daisen I’ll go for the French CL because anything to shake up the pvp meta is a good thing.

About what I expected. With all the URs in the game now, SR's pretty much take an automatic backseat unless they have a meta changing gimmick, esp for those like me that only care about a ships performance.

Lets give a shout out to the Eagle Union for having the first real PR ship. USS Halford was built with the seaplane launcher and operated had if for a year before it got replaced.

Halford is interesting, but unfortunately she does have some things holding her back. Her statline isn't very impressive, her airstrikes come out pretty slow and due to her nature as an airstrike-launching DD she gets little to no help from Meowfficers and fleet technology in that department. It would be interesting if she could equip a catapult but I don't think she can. Some interesting auxes that can be used to boost her damage a bit with the help of her 30% extra stats from auxes are the Watatsumi Research Notes (buffs both FP and AVI and gives 5% extra damage in META battles), and Sea of Stars Pass (a bigger AVI boost), but you'll be sacrificing her survivability for that.

Halford's damage is probably pretty high. And her Bearcats are best for Heavy Armor mods

Overall for me it's okay season with obvious favorite being Daisen. Gear-wise it will be usual grind, though lack of usual new AA gun is disappointing (hope for either heavy AA from Bayard or medium from Napoli). Daisen gun will be staple for most Sakura BB's despite lower reload for twin gun (likely because gun was meant to be equipped by Kongou successor in early interwar period). Biggest issue I have for this season is Napoli's gun rarity. An CA gun that has bigger caliber than Drake gun should be in same rarity category. Would've been better for Napoli to be in PR6 instead of Hindenburg, or italian DR cruiser being Venezia.

0:36 Curious, but what's a re-lewd buff? Is this hinting at a new skin for Centaur?

Surprised that they made halford a pr ship. Like its not like she wasnt laid down and built she had her catapault later removed is all. But still nice to see her in any case

the new Parliament carrier is awesome, but ships usually outside of main 4 are kind of mediocre, i don't run those ships just because main 4 just have better ships. I'll for sure use that new DR carrier but ill never take advantage of that skill two ever, her having slow is great though

Awesome review of everything in PR 7. I really appreciate your breakdowns. They are invaluable for prioritising the order of which ship girls to grind for. Thank fully the ship girl I was going to grind for no matter what happens to be one of the best. I'm an absolute cat girl fan so it's Admiral Nakhimov all the way for me. ❤

I am kinda hyped for the Daisen Gun. Finally a fast firing AP Gun for Musashi.The Blue and the Purple are faster but they are HE. Now we have an Ap Variant for Musashi

You don’t think Admiral’s strong enough to flip pvp meta to favor carrier? Her survivability buff from going beneath 40% and getting her hidden back could be good. And the freeze too.

I love pr7 designs this time

in terms of DPS, the pancake still is the best for heavy armor La-9 doesn't punch hard enough 46 dps vs 33 dp on heavy :(

Thank you for the PR7 review!!

Admiral Nakhimov without another NP ship seems on par with Implacable (doing more damage herself but less buffs to the team) but with another NP ship she'll likely rivel hakuryu in damage, the issue is finding space in your fleet for another NP ship with a slow in the current Haku + Shinano meta fleet.

I got the french sexy armfit cl

Admiral nakhimov class catrrier

Very good overview, but you do need to work on your russian pronunciation. 🙈

Meta, have you in schedule a 2024 pvp video for fleet ? I still play mafia fleet with Aquila,Vittorio e NJ, Duca,Anchorage and Juneau, wicht is pretty solid but I wish i could update it, for exmple with Napoli instead of Anch or something else...

Weak season, both design-wise and performance-wise. 5 dudes, who still work on this game, clearly don't care anymore.
