Anyone can tank damage and die in a BB, but tanking damage just for the sake of tanking is pointless, making sure the damage you eat actually benefits the team is significantly more difficult. This game in particular is interesting because it shows just how difficult it is for me to find an opportunity to actually do something meaningful with my HP pool. Also I think I called the yugumo a fletcher at one point, sorry about that.

9:02 it's not that big of a dildo -Flamu 2017

11:08 Torpedo reload Fletcher. Possibly the best torpedo boat in game.

I linked this video in my clan discord only to find out afterwards that another clan member was on the enemy team in a Mogami and got deleted by Flamu. This makes this video extra special. We won't let our clan member forget. Like ever.

I enjoy your explanation videos so much! GJ Flamu :)

Dude, thanks for the vid! Recently I just got my Yamato, and despite doing ok in it (60% WR and 122k dmg in average), I find it somewhat difficult to play, especially positioning-wise. The worst thing is, I try to get near the cap as you did here and support my DDs, but the problem is that half the time team abandons the cap, and I'm left stranded because I can't turn as there are usually 2-3 BBs just waiting for me to show that juicy citadel. What I do is usually reverse and just hope that there aren't any flanking DDs. What I'm trying to say is that team usually does not understand how to support Yamato or make room for it to kick off its potential and that encourages passive, camping style of play that I really hate. In those rare occasions when I get really good team that supports me or the other BBs, wins are usually so one sided its laughable. Thanks for the tips & keep up the good work!

18:35 the grade of psychological warfare from you is quite impressive. bet they both never had a clue, that you tricked them into shootin you while the CA secures the cap. as always, pretty nice battle. *thumbs up*

This thing is awesome with the priority target that Flamu mentions. I particularly love playing DDs. I can imagine the mind games you can play on enemy BB players. Switching from torps to guns on a specific target making him go crazy with panic that he is being torped and then without switching off torps you launch at another BB. Brilliant!

Name suggestion for NA: Emigrated Potato.

Great game flamu !! Love your vid's !!

I use AA over Reload upgrade because I can't stand that traverse and it helps a little bit with planes, not that there are a lot of those but still.

Impressive Flamu. You are playing the BB at such a high tactical level.

Still watcing this video after one year, epic.

Effective positioning in a Yamato: anywhere within 26km and an unobstructed view of a Montana

Thank you for this vid, really useful information.

i never want to see flamu in a yamato in the enemy team

Great vid Flamu! Thanks!

“Idaho_Tuber” for NA Server. Multiple interpretations ;) This is very best type of video from you. 2 other great examples were BB as top Tier and BB as bottom Tier. Positioning, use of islands, predicting and faking out torp DD, using terrain to isolate enemies, and lots more to learn. Thanks!

i love how you casually land a citadel hit like it's no big deal

fantastic as always.thanks

Im a fan of U Flamu u helped me a lot to learn in this game and ur a genius and game changer

Can we have a F. der Große video next with updated build? Since your latest vid is on the Russian server with a joke build, and the prior is before 0.6.0 i think.

Walking the fine line between sniping and tanking. A hard skill I'm still trying to master...my personal preference is still too much YOLO. :)

Flamu which is better to put my Yamamoto into: Yamato or Zao?

Great video. Flamu pretty summed up every single points to be a good Yamato player, which is what the most Yammy players are lacking.

can anyone tell me what the little timer is up there next to the ship list at the top? Is it just an in-game clock?

hello. I am new to the yamato and it seems like the shell flight time is faster than the flight time indicator is saying. For example it seems if the flight time would be 10 second if I aim for that mark that the shells are landing in front of the target. No the target did not slow down.

Is it just me or did the audio sound exceptionally good this video?

What was Flamu's NA username? ;o

Name suggestion "PEI Potato". Prince Edward Island is a Province in Canada that is known for growing potatoes. They even have a marketing campaign with a song about PEI Potatoes 😋

is there other battles on tier x then 4 or more dd's?? 🤔

The most difficult part about me for Yamato is maneuvering into a good position to tank. I will shoot at DDs if I can get a good salvo off two minutes into a game, but at the start I usually try to force radar ships and capital ships to stop or retreat, preventing them from supporting their team

Flamu what do you think about changing concealment for basics of survavibility and to make yamato full tank?

sometimes feel Flamu's shot always get a 100knot more velocity.or maybe ive accidentally open x0.25 video speed.

After listening to this while playing for a few minutes, all I hear is "The Yamato isn't good at..." "The Yamato is the worst battleship at this" "The Yamato is really vulnerable to..." After playing it for some time now, I've come to realize that it's basically giant guns strapped to 50,000 tons of firewood and torpedo bulges. Wish Wargaming would change them so they have more of a proper role. They need support at all times, get focused down, their AA is too close ranged to defend itself until it's already taken damage, it's rudder shift is glacial. You really don't have much choice in terms of strategy, you have to stay near team 90% of the time or you are absolutely screwed.

what captain skills you use? and why use the spotter plane?

Just got her! Love it 😀

How about a series where you revisit some of the premiums you haven't featured in a while (Murmansk, Texas, Atago etc)?

All these Comments about flamu sniping must be from em salty cruiser and DD Captains who think BB's should charge head first into everything and tank the entire team on one flank and then proceed to complain about them commiting suicide.

Well you could name yourself after the old Star Blazers cartoon about the Yamato. StarPotato!

The most impressive is the knowledge u have about the ships ... omg

can you make a new atlanta video with ifhe buff?

I think German BB HE is okay ... for the one situation it´s meant to be used in ... on an angled enemy BB ... otherwise it´s pretty weak yes.

This Yugumo is a torpedo reloading Fletcher - Flamu

Can we have DM Donskoi next please? I don't think you have covered it in a long long time, and I consider it one of the strongest T9 cruisers in the game.

Once see a kurfurst im playing yamato that kurfurst always fire He first and when he got one fire he will than switch to AP because most of us wont repair one fire Flamu is it ok to do that ?

Great vid--wish I could play like that...LOL

This boat is a good example of the ebb and flow of power in this game. She used to be the best BB in the game but with revisions and additions of other BBs that power has shifted a bit. Its likely that she will get some revisions in the future and perhaps once again rise to power. Many boats are like that in this game.

what was the old name?

Well, in fact you don't need premium spotter plane at all, because you can barely use 4 of them during a 20 min battle ... the only interest is the shorter cooldown but ... I know it's not a lot of money. I'm just saying ...

I want to snipe in yamato.. But the problem is everybody likes to follow my example.. Also I seem to get cyclones more then half the time.. Ship choices are sometimes handicapped by a random change of cyclones

You’re a genius

Flamu, as you always refer to the priority target perk with its changeing count (torps to guns and vice versa) - you could do a commentary on how to abuse people that are running PT and are paying attention to it. I find it very useful to just not aim at them at all while not in torp view. So they will never know i am there and i aim at them or i sent my torps at their direction. Works good. Just a suggestion.

5:49 was waiting for that dispersion to get him a team kill lol...almost.

I still think lowering the citadel on the Iowa and Montana was a mistake, they were fine before now its on par with the Conqueror in therm of BS. Tier 9 and 10 nothing has a citadel appart from Yammy

What about CW, it seems the Mongty with its better turn out potential and 12 barrels fares better

where are you from

As a new player the tactic i use is identical to what i did when i started wot three years ago.. Always watch more time of videos with skilled players than actually playing the game. At least for the first months to get knowledge without finding it out the bad way :)

Nice one

From last streaming

Royal Navy Syndrome...is a real thing. Except that IJN BBs do HE pretty well too. 9/10 when I play my Kongo in RB, I'm using HE to start off with. I would say only about 1/2 the players know how to deal with fires in the most efficient way, so using HE with IJN can end up working out well.

Now stupid smolensk exist to farm dmg on yamato

Still Voting "Prof.Humbledore" as new NA name

Where's my notification, KZfaq?!

What's the deal with Renameduser players? Why are they called like that?

4:09 how ???

i do only 25k damage per batlle with yammy :(

gg, tovarisch

goodvids

What was his name before?

There are situations where using he with the yamato at another bb is a better than using AP. I play my Yamato in CW, and i had to fight GKs so many times and tho i had a lot of pens less than a half of them did avtually damage the ship this happens mostly when i'm far away from it but i don't have other targets to shoot at. So i just load HE which is f*cking strong on the yamato thanks to the high caliber and i burn the GKs for half of their hp till they can't even shoot back. :D

Why didn't you rush B?

6:08 for instant krey-gasm

Lol yeah, royal navy syndrome. Has French battleships shooting HE at my new york I just went WTF since I have a few and know that with AP they are pretty efficient.

this suicideyollobotterchilds tactics is full normal in ALL wg games!

So basically, with Yamato it's better to sit further back in the beginning rather than move too far forward.

why is the matchmaking so bad on the na server

@Flamu. since youre name is potato on the russian server. why not calle youre self backon or somthing like that :P

okay neo

I see a concealment Yamato... great build! btw. Flamu(looks like wg hates your name) as renamed_user is danger, we dont expect to a player be too OP like you without an name. diferently from the Player_BIGNUMBER that actually dont have a registered account and normally sucks more than bots!sry but its truth

WG didnt like your name. I wonder how they will like mine xD Envymysack

Montana pls

Royal Navy syndrome :D

play shikishma plz.. worst t-10 close range dispersion ship

I heard if you are early Flamu sometimes replies?

Textbook game, gg

no basics of survivability?

why not basics of survivability as another option instead of vigilance?

9:01 "it's not that big of a dildo" :O

Typical NA matchmaking 5 DDs and BBs per side, and two sorry cruisers, especially those Mogamis, I mean the only way the mm would have been worse is if instead of the other cruiser there was a CV, and I bet the first ship the carriers would have deleted would have been the mogami.

6:09 Showing broadside in a Moskva in front of a BB *facepalms*

gg

20km yammy game facing a conqueror one bad shot 3over pen one pen conqueror 3hit 1 fire .wich is more favorable to you.

royal navy syndrome

Leave it Renamed User.

How to position on Yamato? Position your mouse top of the 'sell' button and click.

wow

seeing these comments and video makes me curse wargaming for what they did to this game

uses he in two salvo's in a Yamato to guarantee a kill on an enemy bow tanking Low HP yamato. random teammate gets salty and tell me to "go to hell". i know SPAMMING he in a Yamato is a cardinal sin but getting that from using ounly two salvos in one match? jeez XD

poi
