Love to watch you play,win or lose. I have built some of these ships (plastic models). The digital forms seem to be pretty accurate. I have the Arizona on the shelf now. It is a funny thought that in my youth I had friends that would play these kind of games with models in a back yard,each side had a base to defend! Used rubber band guns and differrent size fish weights for salvos! That was the sixties! Now that the digital age is here,you can play sitting in air conditioning and not destroy your favorite model!

Nothing better than watching Spartan at 5 AM during a hurricane!

Oh the hate mail I get when I use this ship!! Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Haha

Thats right, Graf SPEE not Spay. Nice German, dude :D. Greeting from Germany 💪

I love this ship too. I saw all the talk before it was released about how it sucks on pc and it’s an experts ship, not forgiving at all (as if any cruisers are) etc and I bought it anyways. I love it being tier 5 too, that’s like a sweet spot for gameplay.

Keep it coming Spartan! It always makes me chuckle listening to you; solid review as always.

Not it technically isn’t a battlecruiser or a pocket battleship. It’s technically a panzershiff, or armored ship. This was the German designation during the reichsmarine and in the following weirmar Republic for Battleship. It was built to replace the German pre dreadnoughts which had comparable armament and size and weight. However it was faster, this is why the British called it a pocket battleship.

That is how a lot of my games go in this ship as well. Great honest first look man!

Still love this ship. I set her up for speed and agility. You have to remember that she’s a cruiser with small battleship guns and good torpedoes. Try to stay away from gunfights with battleships, and hunt down cruisers. I’ve had tons of really good games in her, but if you show your broadside much, you will be deleted like any other cruiser.

Now you are making me wish I had the money for this ship btw nice first look

You nailed the video double, im proud of you buddie. I give this video an A++👍👏👏👏

I use the Sharnhorst as a battering ram! The thing is meant to go balls deep! I adjusted my commander to be a blend of tank and accuracy. Last night I killed 2 Amagis by charging them and torping them. The secondaries light them on fire and the torps floor them out.

I like this ship. Its not OP but you can have some fun with it. I run an AP damage accuracy build.( Lutjens and Scot) Muller as primary. It needs some max speed so it can bug out if its to hot. Quad torps is nice but I don't like putting anything into it.

As someone who plays way too aggressively and hardly ever survives to the end, this may be my ticket.

Thank you for the honest analysis Spartan Cautious and avoid open water will be my modus operandi

i have to add that the most dangerous thing you encounter with the Graf Spee are DDs with long range torpedos! Thats why i use Lütjens as a commander. I tried Müller but i always got torped and with Lütjens that does not happen that often anymore because you can increase your sonar range +1200m for torpedos. the 280mm guns still do what they do best.

Farragut only has 2x4 torpedoes and it has a long reload time compared to the other DDs of its tier, like 88 seconds I think.

Great review! I was strongly considering buying this ship, but I've fallen behind on the grind for Tirpitz, so I'll more than likely have to pay out the remainder of the challenge. Only so many doubloons to go around.

I've just bought this ship 😀 took it out for the first time . sweet 💞 New to the game the grandkids order for me Christmas 🌲 2020 . At 61 enjoying it immensely

Hey Spartan, love the videos and the gameplay is awesome keep up the great work! I had a 157k damage game in the Kagero the other day on PS4 and I was trying to send it to you bc I thought you’d get a laugh out of it but didn’t know how to reach out to you. Keep up the good work Spartan!

12:36 iron duck😂

Ok the bow on is not always a bad thing against DD's Torpedo Beats is a thing even in a BB and sometimes the idea is picking how many torps you do end up eating.

That's a nice lookin thumbnail Spartan! Great game too. I want me a graf spee!

I’m looking forward to getting this ship for a 50% discount in two weeks and by watching your video I’m getting excellent value

I can see turrets getting knocked out being a huge problem in this boat

The graf spee drives terror in my heart whenever I see it

Historically it was one of the Germans most powerful naval ships

Well I bought this ship and I can’t regret it it’s a really good one

Historically, it does wreck havoc so,..doing it in game does justice to it, no harm there.

Thank you for helping me get a good feel for this ship. Other videos really don't do it justice and are all negative through and through, I'm going to get it! Want to add someone to your friends list to play with?? I'm on xb1 lol

Great vid as always, Spartan. Are you planning on a Gneisenau vid or not?

Some people really have NO idea what they’re doing

You call em battering rams, I call em the "Bull in the China Shop"... feel the same way about the German BBs and the Arkansas

This video got me the graf spee.

I just bought this in a 8000 bundle, it was on sale. *Edit* Also, loved the Arizona, he was my favorite part of the match.

10:14 >No torpedobeats Why Spartan, why?

Good video, keep up the good work!

My favorite German Cruiser.

Great vid as usual! I actually killed you in the Graf Spee last night, and I'm gunna be honest, it felt goooooood :D GG

I bought this on pc loved it..gg mate

And watch for new Mexicos as well. I one shotted this cruiser in the new Mexico at I think 13km

Great video, I will drop a like and subscribe.ty

graf SPEE PERFECTION

Just showing off with all your ships lol I've got my iowa now will watch this vid later :)

The prononciation is correct.

Your pronounciation was actually pretty good :-) But I always wonder why foreigners(especially English speakers) rolling the rrrrrrr so much hehe. Grrrrraffff Schpeeee :-) Anyway, good video, I like the Spee. But I suck in wows, since I am still beginner, so Torpedos still get me down easily

You made this video a while ago so I hope you see my comment....try this build and tell me what you think. I use a unorthodox build with this ship and im loving it so far. Run otto ciliax on it yes I understand he is a battleship commander, but man the secondaries aren't that bad so I use ottos secondary buffs with hipper as a inspiration taking your secondarys to 6.1km which isn't bad at tier 5... and other inspiration being john jellicoe to further buff your heal ..then I use all of ottos survivability skills....a good days work,firefighter,and master mechanic, with will to rebuild as a legend skill.....I do the same thing you do I rush and shove it right down their faces, with otto you become very very tanky with really decent secondary action you should try it man really really fun......i have a couple unorthodox builds but im only willing to share this one lol the others are to op and I dont want them nerfed lol.

It’s weird that this ship is doing decent because the last time I played this ship in the PC version it was hot garbage. Glad you love it, maybe I’ll give it a go 🤔

You pronounced Graf Spee right! Good job!

How do you change the harbour/dockyard on the Xbox version? I know how to change it on PC, but can't for the life of me figure it out on Xbox.

I got this for free from a crate. Ive never spent a penny on this game but love it!

I may get this ship..as the kreigsmarine are the only ship lines i have success with. Idk if that's a thing. Like i thought i was just bad at destroyers cause i kept dying in the japan line destroyers while having really good games in the german destroyers..i think the battering ram play style is what the german ships tend to be about and i think that is my play style..all the ships can take hits and i love to brawl.

I am beginning to think that all the fun is at tier 5. I play my Belfast for cash. But games with six T7s when you are a T6 cruiser can be brutal.

Extremely late comment, but I’m confused, I randomly received this ship for free..? Is there a reason for this?? Or was it just a lucky bug??

When do you play? I haven't once seen you online. You're the last streamer/youtuber on my list :-)

could you do some more videos on which commanders are best for which type of ships for each country

Holy hell so many sailing broadside

Spartan: Graf Spee (Butchers it) Me: Face palm 🤦‍♂️

The problem with his prenounciation is that says it as if it was 'SPE' it's 'SPEE' his prenounciation is to short. Fun fact the Graf Spee was the last ship in the class and the first sunk in the class(then Deutschland(Lützow) and last the Admiral Scheer).Hope you like water on the Spee,it's got quite a bit of salt.

which premium ship is the most worthy to buy to this day ? ( i'm bb and cruiser gamer)

Could of sworn that wargaming said this would be a tier 6 ship when they first announced it

I just got this for 4k in the store. Maybe she was slightly used. 😂

What the two upgrades you recommend, just bought it and I’m on ps4, thank you.

Hi Spartan. Nice that you show us this ship but..... I thought you like American battleship's? ( That's been said😂😂😂) where's " Meet the Arizona" then? Huh? Please if you can. Regards CuraheePL

Nice review Spartan, SH guns hmmmm

Best ship in the game, for its level. Its God mode

Gameplay starts at 0:00 lol

Salty Spartan is the best Spartan.

€40 are the out off there dam mind

How much have you spent $ so far on this game Spartan?

I murder this ship with the Atlanta and York. No hate mail needed.

What's the new event, can u make a video of what to ecpect

What's the best ship for farming credits 🤔

What about Lujens with sponge and By the book

I just won this in a free crate

Google says Graf Spee, like speed without d. I’m not German and don’t have German friends, so don’t know if it’s accurate

What's the ship stats?

Why is it with the exception of the Arkansas, I always feel like a dupe for buying a premium ship. None of them are worth the money. Maybe the de grasse is

Did anybody else notice that the orange he was only using his back f***ing guns

How do you aim in wows legends cuz I can't figure out how to aim

Just have to get the reload time down.

You got adds Spartan is making fat bread

The Graf and SH guns were never big enough. Believe they were not even a 12 inch gun. Compared to the 12 14 and 16 inch guns they went up against. See you in a match soon foolproofscroll

Lutgjens is so much better for Graf Spee than muller, Graf is the cruiser killer Queen, shes built to live Spartan!! Not die!!

Your using it like you should be using the...'wait for it'.....GNEISENAU!!

Sorry Ik u r trying to pronounce the Graf Spee correctly but it’s Graf Shpae. That’s how it’s pronounced

Its a cruiser killer but anything else.. hmm kinda meh

I killed 2 Graf Spees in my kid

Nagato is 410 MM and Colorado is 406 MM. Thats a horrible match up against Graf spee

If it was spelled like it is pronounced; it would be SPEH.

It's not pronounced Graf Spee but Graf Spee

Ya

Problem is ur showing too much side

Graf spee is a t6

Is a heavy cruiser not a battle cruiser

Gotta love those nub bb players 😂
