I'm grinding through the British bb line as well. Im at the Iron Duke and almost at the Queen Elizabeth. I managed to one shot three destroyers in one game with the iron duke, all thanks to that British HE (and of course the stupidity of the enemy destroyers). I love British HE so much.
@FunandGameswithTerry4 жыл бұрын
The biggest change for me is that they get preset with HE. I'd honestly say, maybe until tier 6, that 90% of BB captains will use AP against DDs, so destroyers can sail around with relative impunity. They're in for a rude awakening with the British BBs.

@@FunandGameswithTerry I ALWAYS start out with HE using my Kongo and especially Fuso. If you get a good accurate broadside on a destroyer using the Fuso's HE, you can delete them in 1 salvo on occasion. I free XP skipped the tier 3 Brit battleship and bought the Orion. But it has painfully slow main gun traverse. Heaven forbid you are forced to fire from the opposite side, cause it could take nearly a minute for your turrets to turn 180°. I ended up using about 7500 free XP to move past the Orion to the Iron Duke(then got rid of the Orion). I haven't played the Iron Duke much yet, but it doesn't seem a lot different than the Orion in capabilities. Another reviewer made it out to be the best thing since sex. So, it's either that I'm just not using it right, or it's not quite that fantastic... I also noticed that the guns aren't all that accurate from range, and their HE can do -0- damage at times! I fired 3 salvos at the rear of an American BB, and most shots missed from roughly 8km, but the few that hit did -0- damage! WTH?? I bought the Budyonny last night, played several AI games to figure it out, and it seems like a more fun, more dangerous ship than the Orion or the Iron Duke IMO.....

Good review. I'm finding that British AP leaves a lot to be desired. Up and down the line. I smacked an Amagi full broadside in the Monarch with AP and it didn't do the job I expected. KGV I used AP against BBs for a period of time resulting in a string of losses (though to be fair, that we probably more due to other BBs flanking the cap) It will be interesting to get your sense, although the on paper AP damage is higher, it doesn't seem to know off the same damage). Also, it's very fun to One Shot a DD isn't it.
@FunandGameswithTerry4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! The premium British BBs are a mixed bag. Agincourt & Nelson, AP is dreadful, HE only. Warspite and Hood, pretty much the opposite, unless I'm firing at DDs. Although that's a pattern we've seen before, where premiums weren't quite matching the tree style (e.g. Alabama) I haven't looked at the muzzle velocity values for the British BBs (even though these stats are theoretical, since they're hidden / might not even matter), but I've tried using AP on the Orion a bit and found the power severely lacking. This might work in our favour when shooting at light cruisers, though - where other ships could overpen, British AP might be just enough. I'll explore that more around tier 5 and 6. Curious to see how a salvo of HE vs AP behaves when hitting something like a Koenigsberg.

Hi Terry. I’ve been away from Blitz for about six months, I was just spending too much money on the game. Though the allure of the British BB line finally being release is enough for me to poke my nose against the glass see and maybe step back in. I’m so happy to see you cracked 1k with subs, congratulations! I second the comments about enjoying the added history. I had read about that raid, but it was great to see pics of the ships and the commanders. I was a big fan of the British premium battleships and I’m looking forward to seeing how the line turned out. Be well.
@FunandGameswithTerry4 жыл бұрын
Thanks, much appreciated! It's always tempting to spend money on yet another pixel boat, but one thing I appreciate about this game is that it's not required to do so - you can perfectly well win a match in a free tech tree ship. Of course, some premiums are quite powerful, but I'd generally say it's 95% skill, 5% ship. I'm definitely excited to see the line, if only for the added chance of having some historical action, rather than the "was built, did some escort duty, sold for scraps" line of things.

@Fun and games with Terry , I concur. WoWb is not full blown P2W, I was just caught up with wanting all the shiny new toys. If I come back, I grind the British BB line with a laser focus. I’ll spring for a monthly premium account and permanent camo as my way of supporting the devs. 👍

I never go for the main battery reload in the lower tiers for BB since taking 5% of a 22sec reload results in a single second gained and thus in order to actually gain a salvo over a BB without the buff you would need to fire 21 salvo's with the main battery. With only 6mins or even 7mins of gametime, this simply isn't possible and makes it feel redundant. So I prefer the added turret traverse to help keep turrets aimed in a turn. Overal I was not impressed by the ship's stats at all, first thing that came to mind was 'ooh God, this could face a Kongo'. I really hope they get better at tier 7 or this line just doesn't feel worth it. Great vid as always Terry, I saw some people commenting about more history, being a historian myself (not a naval one though) I know how much time research can consume. Maybe consider collaborating with existing youtube channels to lighten that load? Looking forward to the next upload!
@FunandGameswithTerry4 жыл бұрын
My rationale for the reload is not to gain an additional salvo overall, but to beat someone else's reload in a pinch. Let's say I'm on low health, that extra second can make the difference between me being able to take them out before they get to sink me. Granted, it's not a huge boost, and turret traverse would be a legit choice as well. I'm really more of a hobby-historian, started studying WW1 & 2 (with some forays into Korea and Vietnam) about 6 years ago whenever I had some time to spare. I don't go into massive depths, or even into uncharted territory, so it's mostly probably an hour or two reading and connecting the dots, plus another looking for public domain material I can use to illustrate things.

The Orion is a very good ship in terms of firepower. The only problem is the slow traverse speed of the ship's main turrets even after the elite bonus and mods so I say go with the steering mod in the second and third slots to improve the turning speed to dodge enemy torps and increase traverse speed in first slot. Steering mods will also be good for the slow traverse.
