that sicilias turrets are blocked by her secondaries is not intentional. they just didnt care at all while designing her.

hope you enjoyed the short landing shells bug at 7:50 which, according to WG, doesn't exist in the game

I think originally the turrets were not meant to be fired at that angle and the indicator on the compass and when single firing ressembles that. However WG last minute changed the firing angles (10° improvement) and now they can fire. But WG forgot to adjust the model of the ship, the compass indicator and some other stuff to properly reflect that change.

Re. The Sicilia... it must be a bug rather than a feature, surely?! If it's a deliberate feature, then it's definitely a broken idea. Weird that it got through testing either way.

Love how you left your reactions and not cut it out :D made it much funnier video. And thx for showing those Sicilia angles if it stay i’ll go for her.. funny how italian BB were the first line i played and how i got better in aiming worse game RNG got :D

I really wish they'd just give the techline sap secondaries, pumped the accuracy up a lil and the range

Agree with others that this probably has to do with barrel elevations being too low when firing at shorter distances to clear secondary guns adjacent to main batteries (3rd and 4th turrets). A well-designed battleship in real life would have mechanical limiters in place at certain point in the turret rotation to constrain barrel depression to safe limits.

PQ: Is it a bug? Is it a feature? WG: Is it any difference?

I always, always load AP at sub 12km range targets. The AP on Colombo smacks HARD when at mid/close range. Anything beyond 12km is typically SAP. She's not great past 15-17km. Very, very good at playing the mid range game and kiting cruisers. It's almost too easy to bait the chase and clap them when they least expect it. Very excited for the new turret angles as it will vastly improve the survivability playing mid.

Damn, looking forward to your updated video on this ship if these angles hold

really fun video to watch as always

waiting for flamu to post with glee about duct taped monkey code

The first match i got in t8 i was in the Bismarck. Got up tiered to t10 and got vibe checked by Colombo. Half lifed by one salvo within the first few minutes. Right after the match i googled how to get the red ammunition. I thought it was like in wot with gold ammo. I was very surprised, that this was normal ammunition, he didn't have to pay for😂. Was scared to face that ship ever since until i played it myself.

I saw in yesterdays video that the 3rd and 4th turret were grey, but you still fired them, that happened to me when i tried playing Ishizuchi, tier IV japanese BB. It has one turret to say unavailable until you're almost flat broadside, but still when you double click it fires

Triple sub! Call the Oncologist.

I’ve been playing Colombo a lot and I think you should be playing it close to how you were playing Sicilia. It’s very good at close-mid ranges

Lol the spaghetti code in this game

Possible explanation: whether the 3rd turret can fire or not depends on the bearing and gun elevation of last 127mm. At max secondary range secondary guns are elevated and main battery is obstructed but as range decreases and secondary barrels lower it can fire again...

Day 6 of asking pq to play Worcester/Seattle. Great vid as always! ❤

I had a few games in my colombo and carried my team stupidly hard despite the losses. I feel how you mean on NA since I had 7 straight losses despite placing top of the team and getting a Kraken in another :/. The teams are really inconsistent and make a lot of bad mistakes. It is just difficult to fathom.

server hampsters have been sent to glorious frontline

and a good day to you too!

I've seen this happen on other ships too- IJN Ise, Guilo C.

PQ bro you really need to make use of the shell swap time of colombo. You missed out on 2 easy kills in the first two games. Colombo ap is actually quite powerfull if the dispersion doesnt totally troll. Shooting sap at any german bb is stupid anyways. No hate still good content

There is a similar bug with Atago and some other japanese CA's. There are angels, where you suddenly cannot fire (they getting dark), although, there is nothing in their way. Or maybe it just looks as if. Cause I didnt try to shoot then - turned instead.

At 13.1 I also found a problem with Colossus, after changes Corsair MkIV - The sight suddenly appears much farther away and retreats to the target. The error appears from time to time

I played colombo today, I was happy

I have already wiped out a Rupperchet... Ruppercat... Rupper... That BB. In a single salvo of AP. He was full HP. That buff really made things better. 😎😌👌 Those 3 salvos was worthy of 137k damage. 3 salvos.

one cool info, sigma is a logarithmic number, so a jump from 1.5 to 1.6 should be an expressive one in mathematics terms... but we all know how it goes right?

The Colombo's secondaries when properly equipped make for a great surprise brawler!

Probably has something to do with the shells not actually exiting from the tips of the barrels but from the turrets themselves.

Rear guns arcing over part of the superstructure?

Was the rest of the Italian BB line buffed too?

Was curious about the "bug". But copied your method, matching in the testing, and I am unable to match your "double click' fire for the back guns. Had a few friends try to see it from spectator, and we confirmed it just wasn't/isn't happening for me/us. Idk if its on your end mainly, or just a few players.

there are other bb's it happens on. not just the Sicilia. It might be certain ships with the same citadel type or layout. and if they lazy just used a free transform type deal to adjust for the other ships and what not. there could actually be invisible blocks that the graphic layout doesnt show but prevents them from working properly because the game data is blocked. it's definitely happened to me the jean bart, the wujin, and even the roma. anyone else notice it?

Smaland has the Same bug with its Front turret

i'm concerned how many shells missed at 7km with a stationary target

other games: fix bugs with updates wg: adds bugs to fix later

my wish is for ALL of the CCs to come together and tell WG what crap the new event pass has become. even after all the nerfs to the old battle pass last year it was still 10 times better than the new event pass. plus, they now have combined early access into the event pass further reducing the overall rewards we can earn. the old pass required 5700 bxp per day for max points, the new is 10k, the old was 2500 dubs (30,000 per year if you got them all) the new is 3000 (36,000/year), the old had the steel nerfed down over the year to 2700, the new is only 1200, the old had 2700 RB points, the new has zero. the old had the port slots nerfed down to 3, the new has 1, so many reward slots taken up with useless flags now, the old had blue booster in the free line and reds and blues in the pay line, the new only has greens i believe, 2 new lowish tier TT ships for rewards is an insult in the new pass, at the end of the old pass you could earn a bonus level every day with 1 coal and 1 green booster crate in the free line and an additional blue crate and 1000 coal in the pay line, the new pass requires 75 points per bonus level for a total of 7 levels if you play for all 10k bxp EVERYDAY for the duration of the pass, the old gave you 5 mil credits and 5 or 10k coal for purchasing the pay line, the new gives you a decorative flag that means nothing. i will only be playing a game or two a day for this patch and not worrying about spending ANY money/dubs at all. so thanks to WG for freeing up some time in my day.

The thing is with Colombo also is he is somewhat better against subs, cause your SAP deals full damage to them, they didnt introduce same rule as for destroyers yet...

Oh brother... That's all I can say to the opening issue

can you share C. Colombo captain skills?

I played 3 games with Columbo and got my best game with 273k the better accuracy really helps but most of the damage was with ap at close range.

Personally i have been really liking the colombo post patch. The SAP feels really consistent with those ~12k salvos at any angle, and can absolutely slap stuff early game. Just last night I got my first solo warrior in it lmao, dev striking a sub to win on points

Blowouts are the same on the SEA sever as well.. WG has changed mechanics to initiate fights sooner & the "balanced" distribubution of players is also biased with higher ranked players on 1 side V lower ranked players on the other. Checking player stats should verify that unless WG falsifies data.

Double klick is the new OP! 😂😂😂

Colombo is really strong now.

How do you see the degrees enemy ships are at?

Mới hồi tối một thằng lấy con tàu này lao lên chím cáp và ăn ngư lôi chết trong vòng 3 phút đầu game. Ngau không tả nỗi, nó tưởng nó tưởng con tàu này là Rambo

It's entirely possible to get through "testing" if someone does not care, there isn't a thorough test process, this was rushed, etc.

Those Pizza BBs "just" need the Deadeye skill build into them... in fact they where designed (and balanced) around that skill. Sigma is nice and stuff but its still a random thing and as we know random is not fun...

The 15 inch and below tier 10 battleships are what I like to call “Birdshot battleships” where they can’t really penetrate the vitals of a ship reliably. So, they rely on a ton of full pen damage or on HE spam. I don’t like them either.

NO BUGS IN WOWS THEY SAID KEWK

The free path of the lunar new year battlepass has a Russian Badger unique commander, the paid version has a generic commander. Take that what you will.

WG has lost a lot of employees and everything is just done at the last second.

In real life there's no way the Colombo's 3rd turret would be allowed to fire that close to a secondary gun pod. Those secondary pod's armor isn't thick enough and the inside isn't pressure sealed to protect the occupants. The pressure wave of the gun firing would instantly kill anyone inside.

So whatever it is about Sicilia guns - whether it is bug or intenional - I think it all goes back to WG spaghetti code... I am 99% sure they tried some shenanigans with those guns and they just punched another hole back in the general artilery bug (remember the bug where you weren't able to shoot over island with sequential fire but double click worked just fine)... So honestly I doubt they will be able to fix it properly, rather put another code patch to cover it deeper...

I have so many questions?????

I had a game with 2 cvs and 3 subs per team.

Recommended commander skills for Colombo, please?

Man i play Colombo a lot and i find that you get more consistent salvos on kiting ships by aiming lower (like on upper belt level). I think you tend to often aim too high

that Sicilia bug... small indie company everybody

Shows how much they care

WG spaghetti code at it again

The fact that the Sicilia got through testing is pretty indicative that the game's developers don't play their own game. They put these ships out and let the player base do the testing for them. Clearly if they played the game they'd also never allow double carrier and double sub matches. Nice job spotting and reporting the bug by the way. You're doing better than their development team.

I think I'll just stick to Italian cruisers

Can't fault you for anything on this one! I essentially gave up at Andrea Doria, I don't see any reason to play the ships other than because they're ships and ships are kinda cool.

If I have to play NA server you need to as well.

PQ videos really show you the difference between cherry picked clips vs actually full games

WG's spaghetti code strikes again, ironically, on an Italian ship

no way there is an artillery bug in this game, no way my planes fire normally so are my homing torpedoes

Look how they massacred my boy... I'm from Sicily T_T

Ya na server has tons of the ass class ships .. that with over pens and rng … fun fun 😮

Hear about the new WG game where they make all these promises not to do this or that? Someone possibly named Flambass set the record straight on weegee promises. lol it was hilarious.

Stop recording your videos at 4 in the morning on NA PQ :P

Deadeye was 10 percent. Should have been at least a 1.65. No T10 should be less than 1.7 imo. BB sap is just sad in my experience. I’ve never had an amazing game in any of techline pasta BBs. Roma and GSV are solid most of the time but the rest are just sad.

That what happened to the WG meta, looking for a decent day can take more than an hour.

Way too reliant on the SAP, honestly. Colombo AP is very good at hitting citadels, and AP is far superior on DDs just because of the chance of full-pen damage if they angle. As much as the SAP is called OP, it isn't what you should be using all game. And yeah, most of the play in the last match was too passive for what the Colombo does best. The spotter plane isn't meant for shooting Yamatos at 20km, it's best for spotting out of your smoke as you push in, and slightly buffing your accuracy for those close range broadsides.

NA has been like this since the last patch ended. Tinfoil hat is that after the xmas break a lot of better players peaced out for now.

this game is one bug after the another. why they feel they need to push out a new update every month even when they have so many bugs i just don't understand. WG needs to slow down a bit and do proper testing.

PQ, why you think 2 years ago i left NA server and moved to EU server. the games are better and CB games start little after lunchtime EST and for dinner time 😀

4mins and it is 0:4 - wow

It must be a change with the new patch. I had 4 games last night with 3 T10 subs per team. WG trying its hardest to ruin the game.

Sicilla angle bug due to being built on Friday? For you non-Boomers, this is an reference to an old automobile manufacturing axiom, where cars built on Friday were rushed and issues overlooked due to TGIF syndrome.

I hate that the game is so differernt depending on the Matchmaker

6:27

I usually play T7, but if I ever see 3 T10 subs, I'm quitting straight away after encouraging my team to do the same. Could care if they report me.

Maybe it’s mid buff lol. Half now. Half later

I dont get why the team class composition indicates NA servers are dead. Is it just a dislike of subs and CVs?

I can't believe the disconnect in the coding between the HUD showing the rear guns are prohibited from firing, it also shows this way in the lower display but in fact the guns DO fire. This is piss poor programming.

Bro that 3 sub and cv game gave me ebola

This game is riddled with bugs...

they need updating again lol

Too much SAP, colombo AP rocks, you only need SAP sometimes

Ohio or Sicilia?

The accuracy on Sicilia looks dreadful.

10:33 This made me vomit.

PQ, go and play something you enjoy playing for a day or two. I can hear your frustration and I think you just deserve some fun for a bit. Your sign off just felt sad.

Z

Yeah the battlepass is horrible this update
