Took a few games to really lock down the play style but I am enjoying the line quite a bit. So far my record is 151k fire damage from 17 fires in the Encounter. Currently sitting at 144k average in the Cerberus. The line pumps out a LOT of damage, often uninterrupted, but it is VERY easy to get into positions that you cannot get out of. Ive found good success going Prop+slot-5 Rudder, however a lot of that is personal preference for maneuverable cruisers, especially with how often I was getting torpedoed in my smoke. The better rudder also helps to mitigate some of the poor forward-firing angles and torpedo angles. The AP while not great, is usable, especially against light cruisers or broadside BBs that are already on fire. An important thing to consider on the armor model is that the citadel does not extent under the turrets, meaning you can peak your nose or stern around islands and farm without risking large AP hits. Overall, I think it is a relatively well-balanced line with clear strengths and weaknesses.

Fun fact, your fire chance was 26% across all games you showed. You had better than expected RNG...

Yesterday i got into a game with 8 maines…. 4 on each side. Very very fun 😊

She looks alot like the tier 6 Devonshire, especially the hull size, smoke stack layout and widths.

Thank you PQ!. Have a good week.

Tech line is too squishy.. utilities are great but its like a floating barn door, like a target ship the navy use to practice target practice on for newbs.. crawling smoke is pretty pants as to use the turrets you gotta angle somewhat and that leaves the barndoor wide open to get dev struck in smoke in that tiny circle you have target painted yourself in..

Gotta love the camo :)

Genuinely thinking about going for Heavy HE prop mod/double rudder lighthouse build. Can use snoke to farm and then dance around at range when it's on cooldown.

PQ, what monitor resolution are you using for Warships?

It's a good looking forward to it about this ship, Cerberus is just like Goliath. Having 203 mm guns on twelve with crawling smoke generator is pretty good move.

I like that camo.

Cerberus just looks like a significantly worse Hindenburg, Zao, and Goliath. That armor is appalling. And its sub surveillance gimmick is almost completely useless

If they make it campy, give it great AA so carriers can’t strike you in smoke for free

Relying on RNG for fires is for sure a bad thing. But that RNG also comes into play with citadels and penetration (as PQ experiences regularly), so I don't see it as such a big deal. If building into AP was a sure thing then it would be a no brainer but so much relies on RNG.

I understand that This ship has to have some downsides but they should buff the consistent aa damage to at least 78 from the 62

For me its just more usefull Jinan. You trade worse torps, for better HE, but you also have tools against subs, hydro and you can also move with your smoke. Jinan has no hydro and absolutely no defence against subs...

I would like to see another few matches in the Patrie. I think the patrie now needs to be buff with a F key or something else, like fix the guns. repub guns What do you think? Basically, the reasons for Playing Patrie have disappeared now that there is the Maine.

Yeah the hornet is an unfair carrier at the tier. It's magic button to spawn those B25 bombers is just absurd always. Also doesn't help that there are AL Hornets in every other game.

Is it just me or are tier 11-9 games over very quick? Many games are decided by 0 points on one team and i feel pushed to do realy dangerous moves because all teammates are dead in the first 5 minutes. Would love to get some opinions

Is there a 0 hp slava glitch?

I mean in that first game you did get bombed by B-25s and you uh dodged into them............

I feel like this line was given massive weaknesses but no real upside. Decent DPM but nothing crazy, decent torps but nothing crazy, and a decent smoke but with torps and aircraft nothing crazy. In exchange, massive hull, horrible citadel, horrible AA of all things. This leaves you comparatively easy to hit in smoke, nullifying alot of what makes it so great. Imo they either need to buff the AA flat out, or preferably make this less prone to citadel murder.

Hornet destroying dds day with that special bomb it has

then again if you have a cerberus on your team the enemy sub cries

It looks fine but it isn't going to win awards for its performance in cbs

Ive been living in Russia the past 3 years and really enjoying мир корабль tje xmas event i had an overall drop of 27% for ships ( i get 25k gold free a month from my bank) ....anyway, fast forward to now and im so disappointed because the commonwealth line hasnt released on our server :( :( i was really looking forward to it (im from nee Zealand)

I don't see the point of this line of cruisers. Beside the smoke they are very weak, the guns feel like T7 guns.

I've only played to tier VII but I find this a sluggish line that is not really fun to play.

I always enjoy your reviews, but I can't imagine you focusing on the negative....🤨🤣🤣🤣🤣

More HE spam with smoke. Exactly what the game needed and what everyone was asking for! FFS…l

RNG is the death of this game

More he spam yaaay

play dunkerque or richelieu pl0x

If you want raw dmg instead of depending on fires, run ifhe Des Moines!

Day 12 of asking PQ to play the Atlanta class San Diego

the Cerberus is just proof of how out of touch the balancing department is. Cerberus vs Maine. Hmmmmm

more range and more smoke really makes the meta more cancerous

Had some good games and bad games. Relies too much on RNG for my liking. Spent one game pinning a battleship with near a hundred hits but only got minimal damage. AP is sad but if the RNG gods are smiling on you you can cause a lot of fire damage. Don't get caught in the open.

day 24 of asking for Paolo Emilio video

Day 24 of asking PQ to play on Helena

UK hull designs are always atrocious, they can't build good ships lol.

vid starts with smokecamping & he spam at baBBies stopped wathcing there

Garbage line

What an ugly-ass camo lmao. You can really tell WG going through bad times when these came out. They are getting better tho.

All these commonwealth ships are dogshit.

Day 45 waiting for Patrie secondary build If yoi hate me doing this, you dont have to like. You dont need to tell me im a spoiled rich kid and berate me for it.
