Who has the biggest guns in the game? Shikishima? No longer. Jackie Fisher's dream has become reality - a fast battlecruiser without armour, but the biggest guns anyone ever dreamed of.

@@jamesgu1755 I think it depends on what style of BB play you are used to. You can’t play it like most RN BBs - but it would seem that playing it like the new KM battle cruiser line would work to its strengths. I never get more than the 1+1 crate offer, but this time I was remarkably lucky and got the ship. In early trials speccing it like I do with the Odin (turret traverse, speed and traverse speed, though I’ll try concealment too) seems to be an interesting option. And I’ve never stealth torpedoed a battleship in another battleship before. 😂

This reminds of a Repulse which is a extremely amazing ship. And then make a tier ten super Repulse and give it 4 or 5 torps

I managed to get Incomparable and it is a fun ship. The guns are amazing, they hurt a lot. I also did notice the bug where if you single fire the torps then an extra appeared but I thought that was only me. This ship is fun to play (not fun to get shot at). I tended to get consistent citadel hits with the guns and would be hurting Yamato's and other ships. I play my Incomparable with precision mod and steering, which while I did consider concealment, I just thought I would be firing my guns so there is no point in that. Propulsion in slot 2 because it has good acceleration so that one was a no brainer for me. I do feel glad I got it, I like it a lot.

She is Heavily Armed but lightly armoured ship. My biggest issue is the main battery firing range. In base capture matches, Yamato and Vermont can just sit 16 kms away and easily destroy her with relatively big guns. Plunging Fire would hurt her a lot. IMO, Großer Kurfürst is the best bb ship to fight against the Incomparable. GK has 457 mm guns with faster reload time. Even if incompatible citadels the mighty GK, the 25% citadel protection would reduce the damage significantly. GK has a damage reduction of 24%. Incomparable has citadel protection of 12.5% and damage reduction of 12%. They are exactly half of what GK has (25% & 24%).

@FunandGameswithTerry Жыл бұрын

This is not a ship of the battle line. I play her much more like a cruiser. You can't sit in your base and snipe with this, which makes her a bit niche, because like you said, she won't work well in static battles, but shines in more mobile engagements.

@pranav8263 Жыл бұрын

@@FunandGameswithTerry Even if the Wargaming "generously" offer the Incomparable in a bundle for about 150$, I wouldn't buy her. When WG comes out with A German or American BB with 508 mm guns, I'd buy it. Why would I need her when I have Großer Kurfürst, Vermont and Yamato. They all have big guns too 😂. Wargaming Wiki states that Incomparable is Designed as a “large light cruiser”, Incomparable is so lightly armored that most battleships in her tier spread can overmatch her thin 25mm bow, possibly penetrating her citadel.

I feel like shikishima is better despite the other perks of incomparable. Not sure if you can completely delete ships in incomparable but I have in shikishima from full health to none. Granted it was a Smolensk (very satisfying). But I feel like shikishima would be better in everyway. Just watching you play it looks like the shells don’t have that oomph not sure if it’s just British ap isn’t good or slightly smaller guns than shikishima or just something else. Could you do a video why shikishima has more oomph to the shells than incomparable?

@kardy12 Жыл бұрын

There is just something immensely satisfying in sinking a Smolensk isn’t there… one of my favourite moments was to surprise a Smolensk with its pants down in my Siegfried, sinking it in short order with a combination of main guns, torpedos and those oh so magnificent 128mm GK auto secondaries.

How could a ship built in 1914 have 508mm gun with this kind of fast speed.

@kardy12 Жыл бұрын

Having played this ship a bit now, and I must say I find it to be a bit of a hit and miss. If the opposition side lets you play to its strengths, you can cause monstrous amounts of damage - in my first battle I did 117k. But god help you if you get focused by other battleships, you don’t stand a chance. And it has pretty short range, which means sometimes you have to expose yourself to the risk of getting focused as well. The speed and concealment do help you get into positions to surprise, but in any battle with a CV concealment won’t help you. That said, few people expect a RN battleship with torps. Quite often destroyers have gotten a bit careless in approaching me expecting to only to worry about pens from main guns and some frankly a bit weak secondaries, only to be met by five single fire torpedos and sinking them. So overall I agree with Terry - it can be very frustrating in battles, though when it works it works spectacularly well.

In a mino, i really did not appreciate my meetings with that boat... Off topics Terry (or anybody =) ) what skills for lvl12 commander on my Mino? Protection to reduce citadels and fires (if not broken as the module) or big game hunter? Does the protection add an extra 10% of fire resistance or 10% of the current value?

@FunandGameswithTerry Жыл бұрын

I have to test that captain skill, my instinct would be to go with big game hunter, the only class I'd consider the defensive skill on would be a tank BB (again, pending test if it actually works).

Well, while the Queen was English, she would be officially the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as head of the Commonwealth, if I'm not mistaken, which includes the little former penal colony I happen to inhabit right now. Conflating "England" and "Great Britain" used to be pretty common in Germany, where I grew up, hence the occasional lapse.

Penetration isn't necessarily just coming from a single factor. Barrel length, muzzle velocity, shell characteristics etc also play a role. So it's not quite out of the question for a lower calibre shell to have better stats. That said, both guns are hypothetical, so... As for game mechanics, Hood is an AP ship as well, and I've heard good things about Thunderer AP.

@ignatius_rage Жыл бұрын

@@FunandGameswithTerry yeah, but we are talking vs Shiki… as good as some UK BB AP can be, (Hood, Vanguard) for it to have greater AP damage on paper than the massive Shiki shells when the trend is for Japanese BBs to have better/higher damage AP than UK BBs is a little annoying to me. Also, we can’t pretend that there aren’t obvious marketing reasons to do this. On a somewhat separate but related subject. The AP pen nerf to Shiki a while back was stupid. 510 mm should not be bouncing on medium armored targets at range… not even sometimes.

I actually find that you can use the excellent propulsion to get ranged BBs to either overshoot and, at best, overpen your bow, or do the same thing in the stern section. Almost like you'd do in a cruiser.
