The thing I like about Lütjens is that his abilities work in co-op. You don't need achievements to set them off, just hits and ribbons.

For the commanders which come from collections, remember the mathematics of building collections: don’t swap any duplicates until you have enough dupes to complete the collection!

Yamamoto's Kraken talent is a "win more" button and only helps in situations where the game is basically already won.

They should add Ching Lee, give him a passive ability that increases the sigma of your ship by +0.1 for US battleships.

I have Lutjens in my GK and it absolutely tears things up lol. Absolutely the best coal I've spent!

Glad I got the German commander. He basically works for every single class in the German line, although at this moment I do not have any premiums for cruisers or destroyers.

Yeah, Lutjens is crazy. I currently have him on my GK. Asymmetric Battles are so much fun with that build.

I'm only 800 coal short now from getting Lutjens :)

"JERSEY SWEERSKY" xD

When I started playing wows around 2021 I made it my mission to get U-C Lutjens after that happened it was easier to get Ships faster and more Xp,FXP. and Lutjens was my first 21 point achievement now I have all. great vid!.

Nice, I've been requesting this during the Friday live streams for months. Thank you SeaLord.

I also recommend to collect the coal legendary commanders before gaining coal premium ships as it takes a lot longer to reach 21 commander points than to collect another 200+k for a premium coal ship

Thank you for the video and good as expected.

Many thanks for this episode, I now know which captain to get and how to use him properly as well as the others again thank you

Jerzy is soooo FUN, it worth to have , especially with jager ( for me ) and in event stuff ( hallowen or asymetric) spam torp and see the cooldown get lower and lower XD

Excellent video as always!

I have them all and you nailed the categories for each. Sa Zhenbing is the only unique commander I have not fully levelled up, just not a priority as he is meh. Sansonetti really impactful as those Italian ships (cruisers and BB's) lack range and that range boost is sweet and easy to get early game.

Auboyneau can be so goddam strong. You can have a Colbert with a ridiculous fire chance, or a Bourgogne with

I picked up Lutjens and Kuznetsov from watching your videos years ago.

Lütjens's is also fantastic on the Loewenhardt and Graf Zeppelin primarily and good on their other CV's.

Lutjens is my next buy. I got got lucky and got that Atlanta German ship in crate drop. After seeing you put him in yours in that video. I figured why not it will cost me all my coal but why not. With Tirpitz and GK working on getting the other GK tech replacement since GK is Premium or something.

Animeprincesses is all you need. I have 28 of them with 21 pointers. Of course everyone mentioned in Mountbattens video with 21 points too, but they don't see that much action.

I think they should add more historical commanders to the game.

Yeah I'm gonna grab Lutjens, I've got my secondaries out to 12.5k on Claushwitz already so more speedy reload will rock.

For the dutch, the Ruijter is very nice since it gives a 15% faster reload on airstrikes. For the Gouden Leeuw wuth legendary mod a must have

One ship you seem to be missing tier 4 American Premium battleship Arkansas Beta. She had 6x3 305's, But her claim to fame is she has the same upgrades as tier 9 + 10 6 Hull slots...Very Very OP

The problem with all of these unique commanders is getting them from 19 to 21 points. When the commander rework happened, both my Halsey and Yamamoto where at 19 points. Getting the additional 1200 commander xp/free XP etc for them and my other T19 commanders was a real pain for me. Also you're in a situation where the unique commander is tied to just 1 techline ship (without penalty) but can migrates easily between premiums of the same nation, which encourages the purchase of more premiums (Bet that was one of WG's key game monitization considerations). I do like Cunningham and Lutgens though. Interesting video. thx SLM

I would love to see more Unique commanders. Even alternates for nations we already have. Jerzi is awesome, but the DDs he works best with are Swedish, and we now have a line with a few Polish DDs. Revamp Jerzi for gunboats, and 'old' Jerzi is renamed for a Swedish commander? I would knock Halsey down a tier only because he works best on cruisers for me, and none of his skills really lean into CVs. He was best known for being a CV commander, and it is weird that I don't even bother having him on mine. Again, respec Halsey as a CV captain, and then offer another US captain and lean into the ship type they are best known for. Burke and DDs is a good idea. Sansonetti I would bump up one since it is easy to get his skills to pop. And those skills do help a lot.

There are commanders in the challenges or is it collections (I think 3) and the 175k coal commanders. Then there are the 35k commanders with special abilities (not all lines have one, WG...). After that there are commanders, you can move from premium ships and not get retraining. (the 1500 doubloon ones, and the transformers, anima, Santas, and other weird stuff) What is left are the normal commanders you get with the ships.

We forget the seasoned commanders! cheap, (coals/collections/dubs) and quite useful. since there isn't much content for them, maybe a video for them isn't a bad idea

Lutjens on Scharnhorst '43 in Asymetrics is OMFG.!

As far as im concerned, lutjens is probably the best comander in the game simply because of what he offers and the number of dhips he goes on. A must for germsn ships.

Grinding a line to Tier X/XI seems easy but grinding a commander to 21, OMG, takes forever. And some ships really need it, like the Schlieffen or Kleber.

We seriously need U.S.S. New Jersey with Unique Commander Ryan Szimanski, and we need Unique Commander Drachinifel. As a local, Worcester, as in U.S.S. Worcester...is pronounced "Wisstuh". S.S. Wooster (Wooster, Ohio) was a WW2 "Victory Ship".

i wish lutiens would be available for some dublons, i dont have enough cole xD and he´s so expensive ^^

Jesus, I only just realized how great Yamamoto could be in Operations. The only issue is it requires First Blood and Kraken, if it were based on just getting kills, even if only for the second skill, it'd be AMAZINGLY useful for Operations. The only other downside is there aren't any Japanese ships I'd want to USE in Operations, Atago at a stretch, but not over Mainz, Anchorage, Rochester, Kutuzov, Irian, or a handful of others.

Schlieffen + Lutjens = Death

Hi Mountbatten, I’m curious whether you think they’re going to alter some of the commanders with the coming updates to aircraft carriers as many commanders have skills and talents that improve restoration time, which will presumably not exist anymore

Now that they are starting to build up the new commonwealth line, we need a commonwealth commander… AHA! I already thought of one! Take notes WeeGee! *Elite historical commander Harry DeWolf!* Special Talents: ASW Excellence Activated when either pinged twice within 60 seconds or double pinged by an enemy submarine’s sonar. When ship is moving, deploys noisemaker that voids all acoustic torpedo homing within 5km. +1 Hydroacoustic search/Submarine surveillance consumable Air dropped depth charge damage: +100% When activated, the ship, provided it’s moving at a minimum of 7.5 knots, deploy a CAAT noisemaker 1000 metres behind the ship, nullifying all acoustic homing and sonar pings within a 5km radius of the ship on both the commander’s own ship and nearby allies. On ships that have Hydroacoustic search or submarine surveillance, adds an additional consumable charge while also making the consumable immediately available. Increases damage from air-dropped depth charges by double. With Glowing Hearts Activated when the ship is hit by 10 secondary shells. Decreases damage from secondary hits to 10% Acceleration and max speed: +25% Rudder shift time: -25% After activation, following the 10 secondary hits, secondary hits inflicted on the ship will only inflict 10% of its nominal damage values for 90 seconds. Acceleration and maximum speed is increased by 25%, and rudder shift time is decreased by 25% for 90 seconds. Special skills and traits: Preventative maintenance (Enhanced skill for DD/BB/SS) reduces the risk of incapacitation of modules -45% (normally -30%) Survivability expert (Enhanced skill) per ship tier: +500 ship HP for CA/CL/BB (normally +450) +400 ship HP for DD (normally +350) Personalizations Broad Pennant Coloured Shell Tracers Signal Flare

28:50 Man, those people in the last match were just vile.

Azuma is my only needed commander. Tje rest and bland or require more gameplay than i'm willing to give to WG

If I play like 0.5-1 hour per day, what should I go for first, Commander or Ship? I have Lutjens for coal, GK and Marceu. I wanted to get Napoli next, however I'm tempted to get Cunningham... Just thinking out loud. Thanks Sea Lord, I was looking for a video like this. Edit: Is it a good idea to have IFHE on Lutjens when I do Brawling with GK, Pommern and BCs? I do not have IFHE on him jet, and the sheer beauty of secondary power on KM BCs is wonderful.

You need to decide what you want to do before you start picking special commanders. If you’re planning on playing clan battles, none of the unique abilities will work. For clan the middle tier named commanders are better since they get a skill boost that still works in competitive. Lutjens is probably the best choice for the first unique Commander. He supercharges any German ship you put him on which makes it easier to earn coal for the next.

They should somehow add a admiral yi for panasia.. i dont know how but historically he deserves it

Hello! Would you say that Lutjens is better on Preussen or on Schielffen. Also would you reccomend putting Lutjens on german heavy cruisers despite his skills not being optimum in that instance ?

Witch mod can i use to see the completes tech trees because the one on modstation is not updated ?

If WG wants to print money they need a star captain loot box. Each box gives you 1 captain level 6 to 14 with 1 to 4 random stars. And include rare skills like a 2.5% to concealment expert. Don't make the boxes too expensive like 500 gold and players will buy hundreds Of them to get that perfect captain.

Lutjens on Graf Zeppelin can trigger secondary, spotting , and aircraft buff at same time 😂😂😂😂

its very easy to understand how commanders work Azur Lane commanders . . . forget everyone else

Hey SLM, would you consider doing a UU video?

Boosteration is my new favourite word.

have you talked about coal modules? i cant remember.

Lutjens has proven his worth. Kuznetsov a bit but kinda underwhelming. I have yamamoto but never got it activated. But it takes sooooo long to get the coal required.

Hello. I am looking at Gueden legendary airstrike build. On Wows WIKI it says that De Ruyters has: - Air Strike armament reload time: -10% (Unchanged) Ingame it says (Armoury): - Air Strike armament reload time: -15% What kind of BS is this? Does the commander effect the airstrike reload at all? Not gonna pay for a commander with some shady stats ... Thnx

I was wondering when anybody was going to do this topic.

On which ship Lüthjens works best? Gk or the Hannover or Schlieffen?? I want to buy him from the armory, but not sure for which ship!!

Been playing for a few months, should I save my coal for a ship or commander ?

I was saving my coal for Napoli, but now I want Lutjens...

hello

Many of the 'good' commanders talents are linked to Random awards which are useless in CoOp. The two best do not do that. The other special commanders are about as useful. They need to add IJN DD commander Hara to the game with DD skills but WG has been hearing that for years.

If they add Evan's what skills and special talent will they give him?

Ok. Ill ask. Can these commanders work with other counties? I'm new and I can't find any literature on that.

Getting unique commanders for their skills: - NO! Getting unique commanders for their flags: - YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!

Now, hear me out: How well would Halsey do on the Halford?

Here's a question for the community. What can you do about players that are on your team and are doing absolutely nothing to help. As in they don't try and cap, they don't launch a single torp, they don't fire a single round. Guy finished the round with 189 points. Did a brawl last night and got this guy on my team for two rounds back to back. First round I died early (because he wouldn't move to get a cap, so I tried too). So I watched him the entire round. Again we were doing brawl. He was our only DD. HE DID ABSOLUTELY nothing. But sail around the map as far away from everything. Second round he tried to do similar, but I kept telling the other team where he was and he got spawned in center of map, so he couldn't do much. So they killed him early on. But I mean he cost us the second round. And this is a brawl. What options do you have with players like that? His user is Sabot51, I forget which clan he is in.

Jojo meme: You are already dead. Kuznetsov: not for next 15 seconds.

Ovechkin?

@2:56 hold up. I’ve seen ships that have just been sunk block torpedoes. What happened here??

Do we have any French CV’s?

I want Luigi Sansonetti for coal, WG lets go!😎

Doesn’t Halsey come from a campaign, not a collection?

Kooz-NET-sov

There's only one ship Lutjens should ever be trained to drive, and that's the Bismarck. A lot of people like to train him for the Schlieffen, but the historical innaccuracy of doing so upsets me on a fundamental level.

algorithim!

Kooz-nets-ov

Why no Nimitz

The answer to which unique Commander you should buy is yes.

Best commander is easily Alexander Ovechkin, can move him between multiple nations....that alone is a huge benefit.

Among us video when?

Fallout 3 video when?

commanders are too expensive

The day WGing changes or nerfs Lutjens is the day I uninstalled WOWs for good ! Lol

I was really excited when I read the title of this video, then I saw how you rated them. Sigh... Rating a commander based on the available number of ships is ...silly. Whether a commander has a few or a lot of ships is totally irrelevant to his skill set. What if a player really likes playing Pan Asian ships and skips the commander because you rate him 'mediocre'? If a commander has value "really good commander" then rate them based on their skill set alone. Otherwise a good review.

It's pronounced Kuz net sov you wombat!

P O T A T O

Kuznetsov always gets placed at the top of lists by you tubers. He's mediocre at best oooo you get a free heal when your one savo from death and already under intense fire or it wouldn't of kicked in in the first place. As flamu would point out its an easy skill to activate. That's just not good enough for me. Ill take the kraken rampage on Yamamoto any day with a 2 min free heal and 18 second reloads on 460s. Harder to get sure but actually impactful in the game.

If you only could pronounce Kusnetsov properly

Goddamn Russian bias is the only reason that kuznetsov is a top tier commander in the game 😂😂😂

There are the unique commanders, special commanders and seasoned commanders. Try to have one assigned to techline ships you like to play, but also use them on the premium ships or a few premium ships. Ships like the Austin might need just one commanders for it due to differences from other US cruisers.
