The IJN line is probably the toughest grind. Not because the ships are horrible but the lack of consistency in the play style in the tiers. The US BB lines are probably the best grinds in that regards. Once you get to NC, Iowa and Montana are basically the same ships in regards to play style. Same thing with the Vermont line.

Schleiffen is prob my fav line. It’s a must get, especially if u enjoy Gneisenau. The sec guns are great & u can send torps everywhere w/8 torps on each side. As Slai demonstrated well, it can do ALOT of dmg.

i think a real sleeper in the brawler category is the Nagato. You have the biggest guns in the tier, you have a lot of secondries which are meh, but you have a crap ton, and you have armor that can almost rival the Colorado. Overall though, I love my Vittorio Veneto, Bismarck, and my Amagi

In the Colombo line,the tier 7 is absolutely painful but from the Vittorio Veneto and on are great(also 3:49 "Al-sase")

Fully agree with what you said about Montana. I have over 3 mil xp on it, 64% WR. It very good, forgiving and overall a great allrounder BB.

Glad to see some Amagi appreciation. Speedy and accurate, she certainly punches above her weight. I rarely face players who keep her at range and angle away/retreat until the proper moment though, which may account for her middling reputation.

As a major BB player, I totally agree with this list

The Schlieffen line is awesome, with one exception - the Zieten was so painful I skipped it after a few battles and went straight to the Prinz Rupprecht which is an absolute blast. And it’s such a shame, because one of my all time favourite ships is the Odin, which is what the Zieten should be (maybe with the Zieten’s gun barrels , but with two front turrets and maybe without the GK’s autosecondaries).

Prince Rupprecht is a really good T9. I use it in ranked a lot w/ Hipper. Nasty. I had a 4 kill 150k damage game a while back. Monty is good. The Iowa is ROUGH. I skipped over it. But I have a lvl 12 J. Olendorf w/ the Halloween camo on Monty👌🏻Monty really needs a DFAA 2 or 3

i honestly will say Schlieffen line is probably the hardest to grind in my opinion somewhat easy to pick up but hard to grind and get used to paper like armor and getting use to how they play, even though i got extremely lucky and pulled Prinz Rupprecht out of the pre release crate it's still rather hard and i would say Schlieffen line grind is probably more for the experience because of you needing to constantly look at the map and know where everything is and who you're facing and who is on your team. Grösser Kurfürst on the other hand is probably easier to pick up and learn and play. GK has the forgiving part going for her in terms of armor and health while Schlieffen is more for the high risk high reward. GK is a solid ship very good guns especially once you learn to not use auto aim on period but gk is also hard to master. I will say the hardest part of the gk grind isn't Friedrich Der Grosse but actually Bismarck is the hardest part of the grind because you got some good guns but they are lacking in sorts of way and feel a bit unpowered. Friedrich has gotten much much better since the gun buff to her and GK and yes I've revisited Bismarck and Friedrich. The Schlieffen grind odd ball is probably either Prinz Rupprecht or Schlieffen herself they reason why i say these two ships is because is the difference from the entire line where you got up to and including Prinz Heinrich which all have slower speed and a bit more armor and being able to slug it out where as Rupprecht and Schlieffen do not have that ability to slug it out, they can brawl yes but not slug it out and will sink under concentrated fire. Now Zieten on the other hand is unique and I find her to be good and found it to be a mix of between the tier 9 and ten and the tier 3 and tier 7

I really enjoyed the brushing battleships starting from tier 6 Vladivostok was a bit of a slog. But I think Soviet Union is a fine battleship at tier 9. It's really tanky if you stay nose in and it's guns are decent. It doesn't have the awesome secondaries that Kremlin does, but it's still pretty solid, especially compared to some of the other tier 9 battleships like Iowa, lion and FDG

Hey, Slai. What is your favorite tier ten battleship in your opinion? I finished the Yamato and Gk grind and am not sure what ship to get next. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Lyon 3 players on VC is so much fun 48 guns flying. Did it the other day because I hadn’t in so long

Everytime i feel matchmaking letting me down i took out Alighieri or Orion just to wreck havoc at low tier 🤣

I agree with Alsace she's just a monster at putting out damage

That Schliffen gameplay though 🔥 🔥🔥

In my opinion French bbs are the best bbs in random battles. For me it was the most fun grind. Die Italian bb grind wasn’t that fun but I would recommend it for beginners over the French BBs because of the tankiness and the ability to smoke up.

Mackensen and Prinz Heinrich lost their 360 D turret in 6.3 so they are pretty rough now.

No one comments on high tier British Battleships 😢😢they have good HE...avg AA...with camo Conq shoots upto 15km... please take time to review High tier British Battleships from Mighty Monarch to Cool Conqueror...those techline ships need some love and the game of developers wont buff them... please review and share your thoughts

Did u do one for cruisers? If not can u make one please ty

You hate The Showboat?! I have the Atlantico and STILL enjoy playing my North Carolina. You're nuts, man! (Really enjoyed this Best Free series, BTW.)

all t10 bbs are very good....even the worst lines like soviet and french get good at t10 the problem is that t10 is not balanced . not for a bb main anyway there are a dozen op ships that can wreck you in a sec .....jinan, shima, smolensk, malta, etc... and u will face quite a few in every single game its not the same in other tiers u would feel way more confident running any bb at t7 or t8 for ex....very few ships can hurt u quickly, and u do not necessarily run into them very often .

Alabama is a fantastic sniper too

Please make a video about auto- aim off's tips and tricks. I have kremlin issue😢
