Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good build as well. Definitely not a ship that's obvious how to play, though, so I think a lot of people will be somewhat disappointed.

Almost all british bb are better with ap then he

@@sonnyrockwel1266 Yeah, and you will have to face destroyers at some point, and NO battleship AP shells are going to be good at killing them! Not to mention that British battleship's HE is usually better than any other nationality at killing destroyers. So its a no-brainer that if you're playing a British battleship, and there's more than 1 destroyer on the enemy team, you'd want to start out your game with HE loaded, NOT AP... In some cases, its probably better just to stay in HE all battle, even against enemy cruisers and battleships, especially if the enemy battleships have poor defense against fires, like most Japanese, German, Italian, and French ships. Only the American battleships are reliably good at fire-resistance, so using AP is probably best against them.

@@mr.onbekend7959 agreed, however the HE is designed to be the focus for the tech line.

well, her sister ship was scrapped

@@aivinni9838 yep, at Faslane after the war, like many other British ships were.

It's a bit sad seeing so many players with Repulse out there, playing her like a BB (and getting killed 2m in)

@@FunandGameswithTerry eh, more damage to farm. And also, the noobs may make people underestimate Repulse, just like people underestimate Hood

I had games where I was getting focused early - not much you can do. But playing her from the rear, using the range and speed, she's actually really fun to play. Especially in mid-tier, where she allows you to switch flanks quickly to compensate for your team's positioning.

Good point. Blitz pass might be something a lot of people take, since it's not just the ship, but also resources.

Ah, that was a port... I was wondering what that image was. Not a bad one, actually - better than ships floating in space. Ah, yeah, I can see a MLP collab... well, we've had WH40k, anime girls, the annual Halloween monster parade, how much worse can it get.

I was wondering too...

Not quite as good as the Admiral class, no. Hood started out with 200mm main belt or so, and was uparmoured to just over 300. Repulse started out with around 150, and got patched up to 229 with some surplus BB plating. That's just the main belt though, overall scheme I haven't looked at in detail.

The guns are not quite as punchy as Warspite's, at least that's my gut feeling. The AP is somewhere between her and QE. But definitely not to be underestimated. If RNG says yes, you'll get all shells on target even at range.

Give it a week or so, and the players who haven't figured out how to play her by then will have given up.

I like it when I see a Repulse on the enemy team, especially if there are 2 or 3 of them in a game.

You could, but that turret traverse is really going to hurt with the amount of manoeuvring...

Trust me Terry. I know my RRB aka Rapid Reload Builds well and how to use them effectively.

Thanks, same to you!

I was thinking the same thing when Terry said it. Almost lost my coffee...🤣😂🤣

She was in one of the recent Blitz passes, I think? You'll have to wait until she comes either on sale, or shows up in the shipyard, or an event, maybe. Premium ships do occasionally come back around.

@@FunandGameswithTerry thx terry enjoyed your vids and reviews it helps me when im planning to buy the ships keep up the good work ☺👍.

There's no accounting for taste :)

She's in the shipyard for 15 copper and 5 steel, if you want the ship

Kongo is not in her battlecruiser configuration, but in her later, up-armoured one. She's got better armour at tier 5 than Repulse at tier 6. From the model, Repulse _should_ have been there as well, but they decided to leave her original armour (or lack thereof) from the stats we can see, at least. Kongo can take a couple of hits, Repulse cannot. She's a super-heavy cruiser, playstyle-wise, and plays differently from Kongo imo.

That is in fact, true
