I've been loathing the grind up to the Yamato, but it turns out, the Amagi can actually be fun, if played more to the "cruiser" than the "battle" aspect.

Man if Amagi is really not a great ship the other tier 8's must be amazing. I love my Amagi, plunging fire on decks gets citadels all the time. Great video Terry, agreed tactics are everything!

Good and well needed video. My opinion is similar to yours. I agree her armor is poop and she’s a battle cruiser…but her guns aren’t bad. They are like the Bamas guns. They are super effective on plunging fire to other bbs. I’ve done citadel crisis on NCs with those at max range.

I really like the IJN 410s, already on the Nagato, they were great hole-punchers. Amagi trades armour for another turret, but if managed correctly, I can still play similar to Nagato, but more carefully. Given the dispersion, I'm not leaning towards ranged sniping, mid-range works a lot better for me. I'm curious to see if that changes up with Izumo, who's also got a bad rep as a damage pinata, plus is facing T9 mm.

I was doing school, but Terry uploaded so that has to wait. I never used Amagi and I am considering getting Black Amagi, If I don't get enough steel for Somers. It can't be that hard, I own Ashitika and obtained Kii. Despite being a Battlecruiser in design, I play Kii and Ashie as Distant BBs inching forward.
@FunandGameswithTerry2 жыл бұрын
Ashitaka is a tier 7 Amagi, pretty much. So just imagine that with more tier 8 opposition, and the occasional T9 game. Nagato was better in my opinion - I'm keeping that one - but it's not as dreadful as I thought it would be. Definitely not the best T8 out there, and utterly outclassed by the premiums or e.g. Bismarck, but playable.

@FunandGameswithTerry Жыл бұрын
DD vs BB is a fascinating matchup, because it comes down to two tactics, both of which are a hard counter to each other. If you expect a torpedo drop, you need to be bow-in. If you expect a rush, you need to kite, or broadside-blast for maximum firepower. The problem is, you don't know which one it'll be until it's too late to change. In a way, it's like a keeper during a penalty - you choose your corner, and if you're lucky & can read the signals, you can pull off a save. Sorry, world cup is on 😁

I never understood why the Kii isn’t the tech line tier 8 Japanese battleship. The Kii is actually a well armored fast battleship that would be more suitable for the line. She would be more of a natural predecessor to the nagato in that you wouldn’t have to drastically change your play style like with the amagi when you get to tier 8. In my opinion the Kii should be the tech line battleship and the amagi should be the premium tier 8, since she’s a battlecruiser with a play style much different from her predecessor. Amagi isn’t a bad ship by any means but she simply doesn’t belong in the tech line.
@RNLittorio2 жыл бұрын
hmm i just hv the kii. Strange enough, i do not hv the amagi lol... i usually snipe in the kii due to the poor armor and she's pretty good for me. The only differences I find between the kii and the amagi is the AA, the torps and somewhat improved armor and dispersion although I'm not super sure about the last two XD
@imashovel27472 жыл бұрын
Amagi to me is probably the second weakest of the silver T8 BBs, only beaten by vladivostok But she can still have her moments, you can meme people pretty hard with a heavy broadside that isnt held back by a painful reload like kansas Kinda like lyon Both ships can be frustrating but there are those silly moments where you cant help but love them at those moments

Idk, I've seen a lot of planes "jumping" around, e.g. getting out of trouble once they spotted AA. Pretty sure there are still CV exploits going on, or maybe just plain old lag. Either way, the CV could have chosen to kill me or the DD, but he would have been killed by the respective other, and since CVs are more valuable... He tried to get us both and clutch the win, but I think the best option would have been to kill me (easy target) and try to dodge the torpedo drop. Can't dodge shells at that range...
