Moral of the story: "NEVER VOLUNTEER YOUR SERVICES FOR A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION"

Yukon has such good concealment in honor of everyone constantly forgetting Canada's contribution in WWII.

WG: "Just wait you see historically accurate paper Soviet 'WW2' Carriers, comrade."

This thing seems like christmas short list fodder anyhow, but even if it was a good ship, wargamings attitude makes me feel much less inclined to spend anymore money with this company... and I REALLY want to buy an Ise... but I just can't justify giving them anymore money.

I didn't buy this ship. However, I did buy two ships's worth of LWM Patreon donation.

Not having the best, making do with what you have and succeeding anyway is the most Canadian thing ever.

Any German BB when meet Yucon in brawl. Hello there and bye.

They could have put a GMC Yukon on the ship in port just like godzilla. Would have made a bigger(i guess) buck from it.

The impression it gives me is it's a huge Myoko...

I bit the bullet and bought it. 3 matches so far. 2 wins and 1 loss. Managed 2 kills in each in 2nd and 3rd matches. You're right you have to hug islands and plan escape routes before firing your guns.One reason I bought it besides being Canadian is to eliminate her from the Christmas crate short list. Last year I bought the Makorov for the same reason and ended up pulling a Jean Bart in the 20 crates I bought so hopefully I'll pull something decent this year too. Anyway happy Canada Day from Stratford Ontario Chase.

Unpopular opinion: I really enjoy this ship. The Yukon is in a class of it’s own in it’s tier similar to that of Poltava in terms of uniqueness and play style. If I were to compare it to any other BB in the game, I’d say it feels like Viribus Unitis. It’s utility is… interesting, to say the least. It’s concealment allows you to get into very abnormal situations for a battleship, deal massive amounts of damage and get away with it. 11.7 km concealment, best of tier at tier 7, and the guns aren’t bad at all if you use them in the right way. Given their abysmal range even with a spotter plane, you don’t keep the guns hot, you always need to wait for the right shot because this ship is a short range damage sponge with no brawling capabilities whatsoever. You have a super heal, but we know how those work, depending on what kind of damage you take, it could be completely ineffective. So you need to rely on islands and your concealment using a touch and go play style to deal with enemy ships with your ridiculous concealment and short fuse AP shells. The guns have fantastic shell grouping, the AP shells on this ship are fucking crazy, and the HE is totally useless. I love catching tier 9 BBs off guard with it, I make them say goodbye to half of their health, or more, and by the time they realize what the shit they just got shot by and where it came from, I’m already gone. Ghosting them, waiting for the kill shot. Yukon is not meant for ambush attacks, or 1 on 1s, it is a support battleship that always stays in a pack with it’s whereabouts unbeknownst to the enemy as often as possible. Don’t be afraid to go ahead of cruisers on your team, as long as the enemy is 12km away, you have nothing to worry about. Wait for a dumbass broadside, shoot, go dark. They present themselves a lot more often than you think they would. I yeeted a Missouri for 76k with it in 1 shot at 6km because he pulled out from behind an island, and his team never knew I was there. Stay by areas with lots of island cover that are known for high traffic. Situational awareness is in extreme demand for this ship because if something spots you before you can shoot first, there goes your edge. For my captain I have Incoming Fire Alert, Priority Target, Grease the Gears, Brisk, Adrenaline Rush, Super Heavy AP, Concealment Expert, and Fire Prevention.

Amazing performance on ranked, for me. Loving it.

somewhere in the distance LWM and Chobittsu are finding new ways to drown their sorrows cause man they got screwed over

I just dove the wreck of the Yukon in San Diego and put out a video. I was looking for some photos of what it looked like while it was still floating and found this. Thanks!

Happy Canada Day, and Dominion Day, to all our friends in Canada. As a Buffalo native, may we surrender to Ontario? iChase, glad to hear you're on your summer break. Still not buying the Yukon, but I do have the Haida, which I've visited from a short distance.

Happy Canada Day. Why did they not give us the Ontario or Quebec??

If you watched the WoWs twitch feed today you would think there was no problem with how this ship came into being and is ok to play. The problem is the more people buy this ship it will only incentify wg to do it again down the road.

Such a pity WG screwed up this badly with the Yukon. Poor LWM and Chobi.

We need this story to hit the gaming sites, make that happen ichase

WG's apology for this was hilarious.

"It wouldn't be Wargaming if it works won't it"? Hahhahaha

iChase, I genuinely respect your content a lot of the time and for much of the video, yep all good... BUT Using statistical data when there are so few games played in her (451 at time of writing this comment - NA, Asia has 165) is just misinformation and IMO by doing so you let your standards slip. To give you an idea of how bad that data is, on NA - top 5% of players may have 58% WR, on Asia it's 62.5%. On EU, there are 220-odd battles with Top-5% having a WR of 65.2% Basically - we don't have enough data or not yet as to whether she's a 'bad' ship statistically, so no one should be letting that define their purchasing choice.

Happy Canada day dude!!! I hope your day is great!! I have a question for you, how come you didn't do a video on the a150? Others did and I missed yours not being there.I really enjoy the videos you do. Your subscriber J.

Yeah I'm done putting money in WG. Loved the game back in 2017 but it's been a down fall from there.

Kinda like cracked out/space case IChase lol Thanks for what you do.

Congrats on almost finishing the year! My wife just finished her schooling and began work. Good for you!

Cruiser armour, concealment, gun range, rudder shift ... might have been better with cruiser guns?!

I understand negative reviews of the Yukon, but I just got the ship in a Christmas container and I have had a lot of fun in it!

I saw a gameplay video from that ship and 2 minutes in combat it was literally melting on the shell. I just said to me yeah melting ship aren't for me. But yeah I appreciate your constructive input on the ship. I'm Canadian everybody know about all those mass grave we just do nothing, until now.

The problem is that nuns and priests guilty of the acts are indeed still alive but very elderly. They regardless must be punished.

I am a proud member of that group too, the people who love to torture themselves in under-average ships. And I'm looking forward to the next time I can menace your twitch chat again.

I did buy the ship, with her, slow reload time and short gun range I should have waited for a couple of more weeks to give myself a cool down period to evaluate the ship more I still play the ship. Its not the fun ship that I was hoping for. I hope that they do nerf this ship some, making the guns another 1.5 kms and lower the reload time to at least 30 seconds. I purchased this ship before the latest drama unfolded. Won't be buying anymore . I am finding the game to be a job not a fun game anymore. Thanks for your review and keep up the good work.

I went straight to the fellow Canadian to see his opinion on it. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the review.

I take pleasure in blasting the hell out of these when I see them. -Tavman

I must be another sick and twisted Canadian, I like the Yukon and have fun in it. Thankfully, I bought it with all the dubloons I got from Christmas (haven't paid for premium time since then either) won't be giving WG anymore of my money ever again.

Happy Canada Day iChase 🍁 Yukon a future Makarov? 🤔

Happy Canada Day! I simply will not be buying Yukon. I love battleships, and a Canadian battleship was definitely an interesting (if ahistorical) idea...but not after the way Mouse and Chobittsu got treated. Absolutely not!

they fumbled the ship Captain for Jingles pretty bad too imo

Non of those unmarked graves. have even still proved there are any bodies.

What a shame. Having driven from Seattle, Washington up through BC and the Yukon into Alaska, I was hopeful that this ship would be worthwhile in some way.

LOL. This ship is OP. Typical T7 armor with T8 guns with cruiser concealment and rudder shift. I played 20 games and won 15 with an average damage of 107K.

Some awesome women, good beer, fine fishing, wonderful scenery,really big ass bears, and really strange govt....our neighbor to the north :)

this purchase filled me with regret, bought it day one cause Canadian, knew it wasn't the greatest, but i could have lived with that, was actually enjoying playing it, but then i learned of the LWM and Chobi stuff and i cant even refund it. =/

The crazy one is a woman who was in one of those schools saw the nuns throw a baby in a furnace. It's insane how many times atrocities have been done in the name of religion

The funny thing is i got my first ever destination with the yukon and when at the right range im surprised how well it hits

Why did they make a paper ship to celebrate Canada? They could’ve added in one of the Canadian Colossus/majestic class light fleet carriers. Either as lower their aircraft carrier, or a higher tier one with early jet fighters angled flight deck fast turn around but very small air group. Hell there’s literally the real life HMS Canada to use. A battleship not far off an Iron Duke class but with less armour and 10 x 14” guns instead of 13.5”. Could been decent too.

They could have had a nice, interesting, unique ship entirely created by community contributors but instead, they chose to screw the community contributors over by launching a Monarch clone with a Canadian camo and Tier 7 stats. Yeah they'd rather kill their own game than actually do something good for once.

The bright side about this shady story that hit on Canada day ... no idiot blowing fireworks until 1 am. So yeah I had good night sleep for once.

1:40 nope. i noticed the Canada Day 1 emblem is missing from my inventory. WeeGee.

Hi Ichase, would it be possible for you to touch the subject of no more reward flags for achievements.

They should have been paying LWM and Chobittsu for this. Never do anything for a company without pay. Doesn't matter what. That forces them to write a contract, so you can not be stiffed like this and have your time wasted.

As a Canadian I have to get this ship. I have been begging for more Canadian ships so maybe if I keep my word and get every Canadian ship they offer, I will get the Ontario, Uganda/Quebec, etc

i wasnt going to buy it because wg sucks at its attitude . But this makes me want to not buy it even more.

Wow, they really did LWM/Chobittsu dirty.... what a damned shame that they couldn't even keep themselves from f**king up the cosmetics even if they were going to try and fob off this disaster of a shit on us. Thanks for the heads up, as a proud Haida driver I would have considered the Yukon but instead I'll do something fun like drag my balls through broken glass.

Would of been nice to know all this being the ship been out at least a week before anybody heard of the goings on!

Canadiens / Lightning ⚡ Tomorrow 8:00 🏒

i mean i got it BUT only cause im Canadian and Canada really needs to be represented in the game hell we had CLs.CAs, and Cvs dang it but thats mostly about it. not sure if we had BBs but we definately had cruisers HMCS ontario is one of them as for the canada day being subdude yeah thats a thing but i celebrate it realizing that its not a Perfect country to begin with

Yukon is an ok ship. Even Monarch, which Yukon is based off, is better. It basically has Nelson's super heal. The situation with LWM shows the importance of contracts or having something down in writing. It would have a lot of weight in those regards.

I know the freedom feeling m8, I have only two days for m freedom I am literally counting down the hours

Her gears are similar to a CA.

Thanks iC. Good info. Glad you're doing well with school and such. I'm glad you mentioned the unsettling situation we're trying to come to terms with as a nation right now. I can't imagine what those families and survivors endured and I hope our leaders will step up to the task of restoring justice. (I have much harsher words for the institution of insane murderous rapists that ran the schools , but I'll bite my tongue).

the cammo being extra upsets me a great deal

dammit i got this ship in a container guess i might sell it for the silver. or hold onto it in hopes for a buff

Yukon was a destroyer was it not? Pretty sure we never floated a capital ship. Our navy has always been comprised of destroyers, cruisers, aircraft carriers(small ones) and submarines that don't work. NEVER a Battleship that size. At least this is what we were taught in school. Maybe they know something I don't but im 99percent sure Canada never had a ship like this in our fleet at any point in any war we fought for the British.

yellow snow

Sorry to say @iChaseGamimg WG wont change.

So they take the worst t8 bb, move it to t7 and make it even worse. WG doesn't think anymore. And that before the Mouse situation

The fact that the Canadian people conveniently forgot about their own history again is more disturbing than actually uncovering mass graves. This covering up of history needs to stop or Canada will never truly find peace.

Put it this way. Better to look at it from the viewpoint that as a country, u have overcome and moved away from such barbaric practices and r constantly improving your morals. Best to celebrate that rather than self-hate/self-degenerate. Just like how America should celebrate overcoming and getting rid of slavery and making progress on equality 4 all rather self-incriminate itself over the fact. Best to b optimistic and work towards a better future. What class of ship is she?

Yes many countries have learned from the horrible tragedies and mistakes they've made...I'm just glad WG doesn't own a country.

Man, Canada seems terrible for those crimes.. Glad the US has never been guilty of anything like that. Cue the fireworks and gunshots baby! 🤣😏🇺🇲

Is it just me or is the video running at like 15 fps at times?

I have yet to see anyone who really has anything good to say about the Yukon.

Is there someone can tell me why there’s no ship’s name showed on top of those ships just like this video. Because I try and go through every settings in the game but still don’t know where and how to turn it on for many years. 🤔🤪

wargaming has become a joke...the whole concept of their game was built around being able to play and fight with actual ships that either existed or were planned which is what drew people 2 play their game and now they have diluted their game by putting in ships that neither existed or were even thought of,besides the Yukon u have the Kansas,Minnesota and Vermont to name a few...this is exactly why I and alot of other people I know uninstalled the game and decided to switch to gaijin naval because at least they use actual ships instead of making them up..

I'll pass on Yukon. I can't wait for HMS Repulse and she already is better than Yukon lol.

Aggressive in positioning while your not so appetizing while abusing concealment? I'm sorry. I'm on 2 hours of sleep and my mind took that the wrong way lol

tldr; get it if you like weird sex

Your review is similar to littlewhithemouse's: is it the worst ship ever? No. Is it worth any amount of money? FUCK NO.

This ship is so bad as of this posting there still isn't 100 players on NA server that have 30+ games played in her.

I mean objectively the ship is a joke no one enjoys playing Monarch compared to KGV lol. Even with the disgusting WG action the ship itself is a joke.

Hmm, almost like being able to play the game doesn't necessarily mean you know how to design one. Guess WG agreed. Beyond a few supertesters and CCs noone gives two flips about LWM.

I understand that WG does some crappy stuff. But everything they do is just made worse by all of you dramatic content creators. Everyone wants to make a video about the next crappy thing that WG did instead of just making content about the game. This stuff always turns into some sort of soap opera for 12 year olds. Just grow up and move on.
