And in case you don't know, lower Sigma values mean salvos are more shotgun, while higher means sniper. 4. reload times are slow, 33s at T8, 35s at T9 and 38s at T10. 5. AA amounts to being little better than a fireworks show. Max range of 4.6km. 6. armour looks to be around average. Coupled with guns that sound like they need to get within 12km or less, survivability doesn't sound promising.

Not that bad, and something worth mentioning. As for my first line, I played all the French ships out, starting with the French BBs. It was rough, let me tell you. But my time in the Alsace and rich, that made it all worth it. The smaller tier guns will take some getting used to, but all French ships are punishers, focused on spotting a mistake and throwing a powerful shotgun of shells at them. Who cares if you have 15 inch guns at T9 if you land 8-12 pens on their broadside? So yeah, would I suggest it for new players? Nope! But for someone that knows how the game works? Hell yeah!

The French BB line are mobility-oriented, best focused on flanking and providing crossfire. Their speed boost consumable really isn't a big buff in speed (it's about 2-3kt on most, nothing like Georgia) although it does help their acceleration and deceleration out so they can speed juke more. The only other consumables tend to be aircraft unless you mean the Strasbourg/JB/Bourgogne with their MBRB (a consumable usually found on French cruisers and destroyers). The French line leans towards lower calibre (no overmatch) high velocity rounds that tear through armour far better than their calibre suggests, with 13.5in in mid-tier, moving to 15in at T8-T9. Their HE is decent and high velocity enough that aiming at DDs isn't a nightmare. Their tendency towards tighter vertical spread but wider horizontal spread (a squashed oval) makes them ideal for slapping broadsides with crossfire (the pattern is very good at finding a citadel or two even if you slightly misjudge the enemy's speed). They're not proper brawlers by any means but they're better in a straight brawl than a Brit or Japanese BB (better mix of armor, speed and gun penetration giving lots of citadels). The Repub's a bit of an oddity with its 17" guns and fast reload but she keeps with the mobility/flanker role and she has better penetration than Yamato at 15km and under. Her guns are can openers in short to mid-range and still scary at long range. The line really isn't meant for static gameplay (although you always see some bow-in Richelieu/JB players island camping) and are best used tearing around at speed, kiting and flanking. Like just about every other French ship line, they're made to keep moving.

Japanese BB have can fire also over long distances but the shell velocity is not high and it take ages for the shells to reach the target. Hitting moving tragets is more difficult than with other BB. At least for me, so I can also be a downside for newer players. American BB. The Diffrence in shell velocity with AP and HE makes it harder for a beginner to hit targets. When you don't know this it makes your question your aiming. USN "fast" BB? Until the Nortzh Carolina they are pretty slow and if WG would not have introduced a new USBB kine, tghey would have still been the slowest. It can be a pain grind through them because of that.

@@helloweener2007 well I used the term fast BBs because NorCaL to Monty are the true BBs in the "original" tech tree. Up to Colorado at tier 7, the ships are dreadnoughts, boasting impressive armor and broadside for abysmal mobility, which are perhaps the best definition of a dreadnought vs battleship. The original line followed the natural development of the USN BBs, with improving dreadnoughts designed to slug it out in a battle line against other capital ships in WWI, and then the paradigm switch to fast ships designed to work with task forces and provide protection to them. The new "line extension" is an insult to everything the USN stood for. These vessels were never seriously considered, they aren't even paper ships, they are inventions of wh0reg@yming inspired by the Tillman design philosophy.

Where to begin. What makes a good bb player? There are several specialties Sniping is arguably the most important ability for competitive play. Mid range tanking is very useful and the most common style of BB players. Then you get to brawling close quarter fighting. This style is becoming a forgotten art. Those of us that played Germans hard when there were just 3 lines have those skills when needed. It's not about secondaries although it is about knowing who to select for secondaries and when to switch to a new higher threat in an instant. It's knowing which ship to angle from yet knowing when to say screw it the expected torps are going to hurt more. It's knowing what speed to select when to hit the rudder when to pre turn your guns how to juke a guys savo at point blank and knowing where to hit every ship there is and the split second window you may get to fire. I have every line but you reach a point where you realize given a choice what you can play, most ships you won't touch. Japan Yamato is hands down my choice to play in the tech line. The kongo is fun but my choice for a OP tech ship in low tiers is the T4 Myogi her speed at that tier is disgusting her guns actually hit their targets for me its an easy kraken ship. Musashi is my go to t9 boat its less accurate than Yamato but so what it hits just as hard and the less accuracy makes her more accurate. You have a dd or light cruiser fleeing from you this is not an easy shot but you fire your shot gun he can not avoid them all because there is no pattern to it and then you chunk them when they normally would have gotten away with that. American slow line. It sucks only one I enjoy like that is the premium t5 Texas. Wargaming doesn't pay me enough to play that other shit. American Main line. Montana is my choice along with Iowa I can jump in either of them and break 200k damage with ease. I like the Iowa more then the 2 premiums t9s. Missouri is the one I have grown to just dislike. The heal sucks the radar is useless unless you want to die. Id prefer Iowas super heal and a spotter to that any day. Georgia is fantastic in its own way. NC I have no desire to ever play same with Alabama. They are fine ships but Massachusetts is god tier 348,789 damage is the world record in that ship and thats mine. Russian I can play them but they are no enjoyable. Kremlin is lacking in range it lacking is consumables its lacking in the ability to turn and when you figure out the trick with the hitting it is to treat her like a GK. Aim above the belt and your hitting here for 10-20k a savo with AP from ships like the 15 inch gun Bourgogne and its hard to believe in the Russian bias myth. The t9 is an average BB the T6 and T7 are the Gems of the line. British line. Lion is garbage and I can't stand the conqueror why would you ever play that over Thunderer. Thunderer has like 60 m better dispersion. 4 seconds better rudder shift 10 second better turret traverse 20% higher fire chance. Yeah whats the reason for conqueror again. Thunderer can actually brawl I know Mountbatten doesn't see it but she turns on a dime and her 8 18 inch guns are the most accurate in the game and at close ranges she will out run ships like Ohio and Montana and Yamato and Kremlins turrets and then comes the kill shot. No most players don't do that but sure as hell do. Of the tech line only one I really like is the most hated of them all the Monarch. Great stealth and great reload on the guns yes they are short range guns but they are accurate and you have options when you can vanish like she can. French line is meh. I play one french BB all the time and its the premium Bourgogne. It's a sniper and a cruiser and a German bb all wrapped into one neat little package. German line thats just pain these days. The true gem is the t7 Gneisenau 730 games in her I am a 62 % win rate. Her sister the Scharnhorst is equally good its a different play style she has guns that don't do well on bb belts but no problem use AP only shoot above the belt and any cruiser you delete on sight also she can deal with DDs where Gneisenau struggles with her 6 guns. Tirpitz is another Gem after that T9 and GK just fail with where the game is. I see either of those 2 on the map at the beginning of the game I am going to shoot from ranges they cannot fight back and I am going to do 20-50k damage in a 1-2 savos and move to my next target I don't care his game is now ruined as he lost to much health to brawl shouldn't of picked that ship. The HE spanners with smell the blood in the water and then its on. He gets melted from that point on. What is the purpose of a ship that can't hit anything at range and cannot close the range because we see you from space.

Like yeah if you wait around long enough, the end game seems to be were the GK can get stuck in but every player knows that GK is an easy target at the start just to melt away. A big bag of easy damage to burn, bomb and torp. Bismarck though still incredibly effective.

Thumbs up for a good video. However I question the timing of it. We are at the doorstep of maybe the biggest change in WOWS history, the captain skills. The new captain points will change how these ships play allot. So much so that I fear this guide will possibly lead to wrong decisions about how these ships actually play. Maybe we could see some videos where the testserver is compared with the live server? Actually see the changes and what you think about it?

You should really stress how incredibly awful is the AA in russian battleships (and soviets ships in general). Soviet BB continous AA is laughable and even fresh in battle it is still low, to make matters worse a single rocket attack from a CV destroys most AA and after that any soviet BB is a damage piñata for a CV.

Regarding the Console version of the game (AKA: WoWs legends) these days, people just prefer to do Orgy strats as I call them which is basically: everyone goes in the same direction and gets rewarded for a low effort stratagy unless the opposing team does the same thing. This annoyingly makes German BB's obsolete now since you die too fast from concentrated fire and Gneisenau suicide strats don't even work, among other things like German battleships in late tiers often spawning away from the main Team due to some fucked up algorithm, I can only see German BB's becoming useful again if they discourage Low effort Orgy strats or Buff German BB's to where they can deal with being severely outnumbered, but let's be real: they won't If you play PC WoWs then good for you! Console WoWs is pretty fucked in terms of brains being used

IMO- Russian BB line. Best line for new players IMO because you get heavy armor, good speed, a lot of HP, good range, hard hitting guns and fast turret traverse. Basically all the best parts of being a battleship player with few of the drawbacks. The limited number of charges of DC isn't really an issue either since most players only really use it 3-4 times in the game anyway, meaning the short cooldown makes it a pro. It's basically WoWs on easy mode.

The key to grinding a line is tier ix, since you will spend a big chunk of the grind in that tier. That is why I would choose the Soviet line first and then the German. Soviet Soyuz and FDG are solid ships. Personally, the only bb line I'll regrind for the RB is the Soviet line.

Playstyle will determine which BB line is for you. If you are aggressive, German. If you are more passive and like to stay at range, Japanese or British. If you are somewhere in the middle, American or Russian. The French line is probably the most difficult line to do well in but there are some really good French BB's too. The Jean Bart is one of the best in the game. Good thing is that you don't need to choose just one line, you can have them all.

Personally, I still enjoy the RN BB's the most because: - I'm British and I enjoy playing RN ships by and large. - The RN BB's, with their large healing, good handling and decent stealth, are quite forgiving for new players (like myself). I'm hoping to grind to Richelieu and NC soon and see how I find them. But I will always love QE, KGV and the premiums Hood, Vanguard and Thunderer the most (even if I currently suck with the latter two).
@helloweener20073 жыл бұрын
I don't think that Germans forgot to put torpedo protection on their ships. It is Wargaming that forgot to give it. Like they also forgot that German ships needed less salvos than other navies to get the correct distance for the guns during the World Wars (at least until radar was widely established), that ist was a German ship who did the furthest artillery hit from a moving ship on a moving target (Scharnhorst hit the HMS Glorious with the 3rd salvo at over 24 km distance) and that even battleships like Nassau, König or Bayern had torpedo tubes. It is all about a Russian company giving Russian players easier German victims.

The Republique is the moskva equivalent of the french bb line, before they split the soviet ca line. I hope they replace it some day with a super Alsace, because with the upcoming italian BBs, 4x4 guns are a thing now. Also because the Republique, even though it isn't a bad ship, was a bit of a disappointment for me after the grind through all those fun french BBs, especially the Alsace.
@paranoidrodent3 жыл бұрын
I felt that way about the Repub at first too. She seemed disappointing after the Alsace yet she's really grown on me. Those fast reloading big guns grow on you, particularly with their cruiser-tier sigma, and she's got some interesting potential with the new BB skills (that "increased reload speed within secondary range" skill will get her down under 20 seconds... on 431mm guns). Basically, the Repub is best played as a gigantic battlecruiser with attitude but she's really different from the Alsace. I suppose her concept is a scaled up Gascogne.

The thing is... Massa, Georgia and Ohio aren't actually Tech Line ships (maybe Ohio can be since it's Research Bureau), they're really Premiums. If you compare them, maybe the North Carolina and Massa are somewhat similar (size, speed, maneuverability, guns), but after that it's pretty different (Georgia is crazy fast for a BB, and Ohio has enormous guns compared to the Montana). And having played NC and Massa in sequence lately, there is a difference in how they tank actually. NC has the huge front citadel plate, as long as you sit bow in you barely take any AP damage, but if you eat torps or fires you're dead. Massa takes more damage doing the bow-tank deal, but she has a higher torp damage reduction.

Ok I got Nebraska from the handouts, and am still in the Fuso, but overall the BB lines are just so slow and pondering. They say I play well in them, but I just feel so slow and lazy when I run them. Plus BBs are what I mostly go hunting for as sport. Ya, not a gun boat DD player. LoL I actually like playing the Nebraska, I don't get as bored, Bismarck and Fuso are not bad either. Richelieu is like Nebraska without a flight deck. I want to push one to tier ten, but not sure which one is more interesting actually at tier ten... Opinions?
