World of Warships

00:00:00

00:03:11 Esconce ist in battle by himself on his lonesome, because I'm late. Well, you know, booting, doing the thing. It's all good. So I'm going to be hanging out. You'll be able to watch me. And that means the good Sir Gaishu is going to be able to hang out and chat. I get to stare at chat and talk to you lovely people instead of Esconce. In addition to Esconce. You can talk with me, too. I'm still here. There's like a wall here. I can't hear anything this guy is saying anymore.

00:03:37 I mean, if that's the case, we should get headphones so I can hear when the torpedoes are coming. Instead of just getting hit. Oof. There's an echo. Is there an echo? Oh, you have the stream open. It is muted. If other people can confirm, I can just hop over back to the producer chair and figure it out real quick. Otherwise, it might be multiple. Yeah, I just see one person saying echo, so maybe we're getting trolled.

00:04:04 Ahoy, guys, Shunascon. Hello. Hello, ALG. So, surprise, something other than Asymmetric. Oh, there's a fair amount of stuff in the devlog. There is some surprise-y stuff. And I will mention, so, I mean, I don't know if anybody enjoyed my little teaser. Did you see the teaser that I did? Actually, I didn't watch the teaser yet. So, no, no, no, not that. On the Discord, in the NA announcements, I did a little teaser. Like, you know, binoculars and stuff.

00:04:30 Did anybody out there solve the puzzle before you got the follow-up or no? I didn't see anybody figure it out. Well, I mean, if you're teasing what I think you're teasing, then it seems like at least one person figured it out. Well, I saw one or two people figure it out after like the second part, but I didn't see it with the first. And I know there's some cryptic people out there that if you make a puzzle, they'll solve it. I know. We've done some really obscure Easter egg stuff and new ports and such.

00:04:59 People always find them. Sound is fine? Okay, that's good. I'm not confirming or denying nothing. I'm just saying that there might be some information. Don's ruining the surprise. There might be some information.

00:05:16 If you look in the NA Announcements channel on the Discord. And I realize if you're not on NA, then you're not going to be able to see it. So, I mean, that sucks. But that is what it is. So is this your first time playing Eskimo? It is. Eskimo actually has a pretty long reload. Six seconds on the reload. So I'm kind of like, I'm feeling like I want to shoot just a little bit faster. Yeah, I mean, okay. It's a Tier 7 Destroyer, right? Is that Tier 8? Tier 8. Tier 8, okay.

00:05:45 I'm having a hard time looking at the icon on stream. So 8 barrels like Cossack. I think it's actually the same hole as Cossack. I believe she is a Cossack, yes. There is some difference though. The Cossack, when I was checking her out in port, had 6.1 for her detection. And Eskimo is actually rocking 5.8, which is pretty spicy. I mean, I don't think it's...

00:06:10 Ich glaube, Kassa kann auf 5.5 sein, kann sie? Oh, vielleicht ist es denn, ich habe einen Kapitän. Oh, oh, oh, ich werde mich getrennt hier, aber... Die British Acceleration! Ja, boll! Ich glaube, ich würde mich aufhören.

00:06:25 Well, that's the problem. So when you want to go forward and you're in a British destroyer, it's like, are you sure about that? Okay, well, let's phone the magistrate and make sure that we've got a court order that says that we can, in fact, go forward. Clearance to go forwards. I mean, the thing with the British acceleration, right, is that I think in terms of... Okay, so British Excel works really fast when you're going from zero to negative.

00:06:50 oder von 0 zu Fords. Aber wenn du schon in einer dieser Richtung bist, wenn du schon in einer dieser Richtung bist, wenn du schon in die positive numbers bist, dann ist es gut. Wenn du schon in die negative numbers bist, dann ist es gut. Wenn du schon in die negative numbers bist, dann ist es gut. Wenn du schon in einer dieser Richtung bist, dann ist es gut. Also, ich habe eine Sendung einen Invite. Ah, ich habe eigentlich... See, Eskant just wanted me to join in den Funn, so er hat sich gemacht. Oh, ja, ja. No, es...

00:07:15 I saw an initial wave of Torps, that's cool. There was a follow-up. Alright, I can probably... Wait, wait, no. Going forward is not the answer here, damn it! And all I did was just get flat-footed. I feel like that's what mostly kills you when you're trying to dodge Torps. It's like not committing to a decision early, right? If you just commit to your initial action, oftentimes you'll just be fine. You're watching for rewards because you've never watched a live stream before. Well, it turns out that there's... I love the username, by the way.

00:07:43 Was was that wrong? I love twitch lol one two three I Mean sure I will we'll try it again. I'm gonna take the Yukikaze I think oh No, I want to participate. Okay, you got to speed up, right? Sorry. Sorry. I'm taking my time. So I'll mention this again. I'm gonna mention it probably a few times Okay, I'm hitting battle I'm gonna mention this a few times in the next update for 14 for

Ankündigung von Stream-Codes für Update 14.4

00:08:10

00:08:10 During the Twitch streams for the next update, there will be a code. Some of the code will be given. You said the word. Yes, I said the word. I said the forbidden word. Some of the code will be given out in the beginning half of the stream. Some of the code will be given out in the back half of the stream. So for people that are diligent, hanging out.

00:08:29 Hanging on every word. They'll be able to take those two paths, put them together, join the code. So there's a little bit of work involved. You have to put the two pieces together? There's a little bit of work involved. You don't just get to copy-paste the code? Yeah, a little bit of work involved. It's a little like a puzzle, like the binocular puzzle.

00:08:45 I hope that wasn't terrible. I thought it was fun. Have you seen the meme of somebody trying to fit the two giant jigsaw pieces together and they just won't go? Actually, you have Discord on that computer, right? Yeah. Okay, so can you do me a favor and check any announcements so you know what I'm saying with this? I suppose. The little puzzle thing. I'll have to mute it, I think. Oh no, the word. Is it in this stream? It is not. This is not in 14.4. This is 14.3. Albeit.

00:09:11 Es ist nicht mehr 14.3 für lange, das bedeutet, es wird 14.4 für lange. Ja, es ist wie binoculars. Ich liebe die Paint Pixelation-Effekt. Ja, die Paint Spray-Can. Aber die erste, die ist grainy. Somebody in der Privateer Discord hat gesagt, es sieht wie Pac-Man mit einem Turret. Aber ich habe es versucht, es zu machen. Aber ich habe es versucht, es zu machen. Aber nein?

00:09:37 I mean, I think it was JoeBob mentioned that most of the special modes have the purple background, so that's a pretty good indication there for the second picture. I felt like the purple would be too big of a giveaway, and it kind of blends into the black of the binocular silliness, so maybe that kind of helped it fly under the radar. Just so you know, some of us are watching from work. Don't snitch. But we can't log into the game to redeem codes. You don't have to log in. You can actually do that on the website.

00:10:04 Yep. If you can open a tab to watch Twitch, you should be able to go to the Wargaming Premium Shop. Or it's just like, if you're on NA, for example, it's na.wargaming.net slash shop slash redeem. And you should be able to put in codes through there. Yeah, I think you can also do, I think you can also just, when you go to the World of Warships website, if you're logged in, you can click on the name and there's a little redeem code thing there too.

00:10:27 It's blocked and all you have is your phone. The zoomed out version was a dead giveaway. It might just be a disaster for you then, I'm sorry. Well, I mean, you know, that being said, as dead giveaway as it was, I only saw like three or four people say something, so I mean. If you see something, say something. It's not that giveaway. Hey, there's an Eskimo on the other side. There is, there is. I think I'm just going to try to get down the 9-10 line here. Maybe see if I can get some torp angles on those battleships. Aren't you guys at work? Yes, we are at work. That is true.

00:10:58 Actually, yeah, I forgot. What a coincidence. We are also at work. What do you know? There are actually 12 clicks on this. That's pretty spicy. On your torps? Yeah, 12 clicks. Yeah, not bad. Do you have one launcher or two? It's four torps. You can single launch them. So pretty much the same as Cossack then. Yeah, a lot of similarity. Fast reload, I'm guessing, since you only have four tubes. I will say that the smoke is notably different. The smoke is 22 seconds.

00:11:27 um action time instead of like 10 and instead of 50 seconds it's like 90 so in my head i kind of think of that as like german smoke where it lasts long enough to kind of be effective but then it's got a lot of down time to it sure i'm spotting this guy for the moment he's gonna go back into a smoke then it's got a punchy salvo yeah i mean eight barrels at a tier eight is pretty good for a destroyer

00:11:52 Ja, Cossack... Ich glaube, sie sind beide aus der Tribal-Klasse. Ich denke, sie beide haben... Wow, Englisch ist so eine komplikative Sprache. Die beste Weise zu sagen ist, ich glaube, sie beide haben sehr bad Turret Angles, für den 4th Turret, speziell. Wenn ich... Wenn ich dieses Dude schaffe, sind Sie bereit? Nein, da ist ein Island zwischen mir und ihm.

00:12:19 Just wait a moment. Just wait a moment. I'm trying to get to the battleship so I can torp them. I'm a torp destroyer. Look, I'm almost there. I don't want to torp him. Yeah, let's see. Look, the Colorado's right there. I'm almost there. So close.

00:12:37 If he stays spotted, which I don't think he will because of how he's going to dive into the smoke. But if he stays spotted. Seriously though, don't snitch. Boss thinks you're busy and your fake spreadsheet is real. Well, I won't tell if you won't tell our bosses that we're playing World of Warships on the clock. So I do need to aim past the ship because the shell dropped. Now the question is, do I shoot him and reveal myself or do I stay dark so the Colorado doesn't know? I think I stay dark.

00:13:03 Look at the juicy battleships, Eskons. It would be nice if this guy wandered into a torpedo. I'd be okay with that. I don't think he's going to, though. Okay, now I'll shoot him. Now I'll shoot him. Oh, he's got a fire. Get him. A couple of hits. A couple of hits. Well, unfortunately, bloated shells, so I'll shoot the Dallas. Good evening, chat. Wow, Eskons. Guy, a few greetings from Canada. Hello. Hello, my Canadian friend.

00:13:31 So far, my coolest Canada experience has been meeting the leader of the Canadian Navy. Is it Admiral Topshy, I think was his name? I believe so. Yeah, you got to teach him some warships, right? Yes, I did. Although, he wasn't actually able to play the program while we were doing it, because I think they had a Mac.

00:13:58 Right. And it was kind of an older one. So they just... What I ended up doing is I played and streamed it and kind of described for him. Sure. Unfortunately, that means that when he was on livestream, he never actually... It was his first time. To zoom in. Yeah. He was just taking shots. And he was getting hits, too. Kind of just man-moding it. Yeah, I mean, the way that the aiming system works is, like, if you have the lock on, it will help you be roughly on target, even if you're not, like, fully zoomed in. So it can work. Can work. Here's the Dallas. Obviously suboptimal.

00:14:27 Let's go Dallas. Fortunately, the Colorado is now running away from me and it's Pensacola running straight at me. I'm not sure how much work I'm going to get done with the Torps. We'll see. Oh, okay. The Eskimo is running straight at me at 2k HP. Not what I expected. Someone mentioned a code. I don't see one. So we're going to be having a stream code, not just on this stream, but every stream, all the different languages, English for EU, English for NA.

00:14:57 polis stream ukrainian stream all of them will have a code that will be given out in two parts one part in the early section of the stream one part in the later section of the stream and it'll be on you to connect the parts connect the dots yeah connect the connect to the puzzle and get the prize nice skill nice skill yeah like the guns they they are kind of i'm going to a10 send help i will uh i'll head over and see if i can help

00:15:25 Ich hoffe, die Pensacola will guess I went south instead of into the corner, but I mean... No, no, he's turning up to the corner, too. Uh-oh. I mean, I can distract him. I'm good for distracting. Do it. Oh, wow. 30mm pen on these. Oh, so that's probably why the reload's a little bit slower, because you can actually hurt things. Well, I'm taking shots, but I'm behind an island, so I'm not spotted just yet. Sorry, he's turning away. He's turning away.

Eskimo vs. Cossack: Vergleich und Unterschiede

00:15:53

00:15:53 To assist. Gentlemen, if you two were salesmen, how will you convince the viewers to buy Eskimo and most of them already have Cossack? How is it better than the other? I think the main feature is what Eskons just described, actually, which is that the HE has 30mm of pen, which means that in your tier range, you can damage basically all cruisers and some battleships directly with HE, without needing IFHE. So, in terms of, like, fighting heavier targets, Eskimo will do a little bit more raw damage, while it is...

00:16:18 Kossak, ich denke, ist ein bisschen mehr geärendet gegen den Destroyern, mit den Shortbeer Smokern und den Hydro. Und als auch die Better-Raw-Gun DPM. Da ist auch noch eine andere Sache, das ist, dass nicht jeder hat jeden Schiff in den Spiel. Was? Ich weiß nicht, dass einige Leute, die neu zu den Spiel sind, die einfachen Sachen machen, und sie vielleicht nicht haben Kossak.

00:16:44 If you want to participate in the Narvik event, which we can check out a little more later, you can earn tokens, not just in 14.3. It's actually going to be over a while, is what it's going to be. It'll be all the way out to like 14.5. So something like, I don't know, six or seven weeks. I mean, it'll be a while.

00:17:06 Oh, you know what? This Pensacola is just totally blocking me from running straight up the Graf Zeppelin. It's very sad. Very sad. I mean, you could always just try to gun battle the Graf Zeppelin. You got this. Not sure if that's a wonderful idea. You know, if I had IFHE, actually, hell, the Colorado is 26 mil, so I just can't attack that. Yeah, exactly. Any battleship below tier 8 in your tier range with the Eskimo, you can just pen directly. Well, it's a pretty good deal. Yeah, and she's actually got some pretty spicy fire chance, too.

00:17:34 I'm kind of comfortable with this. I'm up to eight fires already. Is Eskimo free if you do all the missions? No, but I believe it is discounted pretty reasonably. Yeah, she is not free, unfortunately. There are times where you can get some free premiums in the game through doing some events, like you can get Gambia, for instance, if you do the Blue Carid Dockyard. The Dockyards are usually a pretty good example of that. They'll usually have a midpoint reward.

00:17:59 Das ist eine First Come, First Curve.

00:18:26 First come, first serve code, you're out. I think the code will have limited redemptions, but a fair amount of them. That's correct. If you're watching the stream, then you should be able to get your hands on it. Yeah, the way that the code is going to work is because normally with codes, everybody is like, codes are awesome. We want to share them with everyone. We want to share them with grandma. We want to share them with the kid at the ice cream store. We want to share them with the astronauts on the moon.

00:18:55 I think you're going to get that one. 64 HP, all mine. Powerful. Well, at least I got some damage. And that's fine. There are some codes that are made for that. But these codes, the ones that are going to be for 14.4, for the streams, are for the people watching the streams. Doesn't mean that people aren't going to share them on Discord and Reddit.

00:19:16 Up, down, and sideways, paint them on a wall. But there will be a limited amount of redemption. So for instance, we tend to have about 2,000 to 3,000 people on our stream. So we might have about 500 redemptions. So it's not that, you know, you gotta like, if you're quicker, you're gone. But you just gotta get it before it ends up on Reddit, basically. Yeah, like you need to be, ideally, if you're here, you're watching the stream, you're gonna have it and you'll be able to redeem the code and it'll be all good.

00:19:42 Aber wenn ihr nicht auf die Stream oder ihr ein bisschen late auf die Uptake oder so, dann wird sie weggegangen. Weil es andere Leute auf die Stream sind und sie haben bereits redeemed es. Es ist hier für die Leute, die aktiviert werden, weil wir aktivieren. Das ist was wir machen. Oh, das ist so, dass ich so. Es ist ein Dank. Es ist ein Dank für uns, für uns zu sehen, für uns zu sehen.

00:20:07 And not just using us to farm drops. We're people too. What is my purpose? I give people Twitch drops.

00:20:20 Das wäre ein wirklich guter Clip. Ja. Das ist mein Purpose, dass ich den Pfeil des Pfeil des Drops habe. Hopen kann ich das 2,000hp Pensacola vor dem Blabst mich. Oh, da wir gehen. Danke. Holy shit, ich habe 5 Pens auf das. Ja, 30mm Pen geht es hart. Es war nicht so, ich dachte, ich hatte einen oder zwei Shells. Und dann all of a sudden, okay.

00:20:42 So, there's two parts. One is, if we have, like, for instance, a giveaway or something.

00:21:10 And we ask, hey, everybody type in the chat so we can get you in the giveaway. We tend to have about, you know, between three to five hundred people type in the chat to get in the giveaway, even if we have two to three thousand people. So we tend to have about three to five hundred people that are active in the chat. So that and then also somebody else. Why don't you care about players?

00:21:30 Well, that's literally what the code is for. It's for y'all. This is also the first time we're doing the code. If it gets snatched up in like 30 seconds super quickly, then for next time we can always increase the amount of redemptions. Yeah. You know, it's the first time we're running it. If it's super fun, you know, I'll be able to report back, hey, people loved this. Oh my God, we've got to do it again. But I mean...

00:21:52 A lot of the stuff that we do, CMs and stuff, you know, we try stuff out. We see what sticks. And if this sticks, if you're just like, this is the bestest stuff ever, let us know. You know, talk about it in the Discord. Be happy. Share your love. I think most people like free stuff, so who knows? Who knows? Are you sure? Well, chat. Do you like free stuff? You never know. Rawr. Okay, so I play terribly in a game.

00:22:20 And then we played less terribly in a game. How did we do, actually? I didn't do amazingly. I mean, I missed all my Torps on the Colorado. Otherwise, I would have had a better game. But, you know, it's hard to predict what people will do. Well, you got fifth. I got second. So, I mean, we did good. Done good, man. All right. So, let me look at what the thing is. I wrote all this down. All right. So.

00:22:45 I guess now is where we do some banter. Banter? Oh no, now I'm on the spot. How are you, Mr. Gaishu? I've never actually heard that rhyme used before. What do you know? Oh, well, you know. I'm the pilot. I'm doing pretty good. I'm doing pretty good. Yeah, so is anything crazy fun going on with you? Anything that could be happening? Well, I'm playing World of Warships for two hours on screen. That's pretty cool.

00:23:11 That's pretty awesome. That's a cop out. You know it. You know it. Let's see. For me, I turned getting chewed out into an asset. And I'm happy about that. I think that's pretty good. I think I learned something. Learning experiences are always valuable. Learning is fundamental. Rawr. Why was Eskimo messed with so much in testing given an underwhelming smoke instead of its heal?

00:23:37 Obviously, I am not the balanced team, but my educated guess there would be that with the heal, it was probably too strong. Heels are very powerful consumables, especially for a tier 8 destroyer. Yeah, pretty spiced. Smoke is also pretty good, but given the fact that Eskimo has pretty fantastic gun performance, it's probably most balanced with less than average smoke. The guns are pretty gnarly. Having the 30mm pen and just the salvo weight of thonk.

00:24:06 Eskimo ist nicht großartig, aber es ist ziemlich gut für eine T-Rate Destroyer mit 8 Barrels. So mit der Gun Performance und der 30mm He-Pen, ich denke, es ist ziemlich stark.

00:24:26 There's always the future. You could always request, hey, can you do a Frank Zappa collab? I mean, that could be pretty cool. Frank Zappa, I think there's a song they had called The Black Page, which from a drumming perspective, the way the music is written, you write notes, whatever, there's more black than there is white on the page.

00:24:52 Oh, what do you know? Scary, scary game, scary one to play. Interesting bit of trivia. Alrighty, well, did so, did that. I talked to you a little bit about stream code, so just one more time. Starting with 14.4, which should be soon. Soon TM. Soon TM. Every stream. The clever among you can probably figure out when it is.

00:25:10 Every stream, that's the English for NA, English for EU, Polish, German, all of them, will have a code that they're going to release a piece of it in the beginning of the stream, a piece of it in the end of the stream, and then you can combine those pieces to get a cool thing. There's going to be a limited amount of redemptions, though, so you're going to need to be on top of your game if you want to be able to pick it up. It's not just going to be something you'll snatch up off of Discord or, you know, that gets shared randomly. You said all the streams. Does that mean I can get all of the codes? It means that you can get...

00:25:37 All of the codes. And there are like seven streams per week. I wouldn't recommend, you know, that you go that hard with it. Because like, if you don't know the language, it's not that fun. It's not as fun as if you do. I'd watch like 14 hours of WoW streams a week, you know. But you know, if there's a stream you like to hang out with, you can get a little extra love for it. And that's pretty cool. All right. So, and that's going to take us into the DevBlog.

Narvik-Event und Web-Abenteuer

00:26:06

00:26:06 We should probably mention Narvik. I think we should do that. We're not going into Unbreakable Line Games? Well, we're past that. Look, it's like almost 5.30. I'm only 10 minutes past it. Well, can you show my screen? We started early on the banter section. That is true. We were efficient about bantering. Alright, so I'm going into the Armory. I'm checking out from Narvik to Dunkirk. Now, there's a web adventure here, which means you can go into the web.

00:26:35 Into the web? Oh my god, that sounds terrible. Into the web, Hacker Man. Start your adventure. There's a little themed kind of stuff here, and you can pick up 420 tokens by participating in the adventure. And you can read all of this, which I'm not going to do right now, and unlock missions and do the cool stuff. Just remember, when you finish the mission, you'll probably have to come back here so you can start the next one. And they do release over time, so you can't just, you know, eat up all the storytastic fun. It is going to be paced out a little bit.

00:27:03 um but for that there's a random bundle which has the eskimo in it but it also has cossack sharnhorst warspite and mont calm and these are 999 doubloons that's like four bucks i think um and not only that there is the logistics kit which comes with 35 of the tokens and a set stuff so it's not like you know you might get 200 tokens you might get one it's a very set

00:27:29 Das ist eine sehr, sehr, sehr interessante Sache. Du hast auch gekämpft, oder du hast auch gekämpft, das ist schon cool. Ja, ich glaube, das ist ja, ich glaube, das ist eine der größten Randall-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels-Bundels.

00:27:56 You can also get the Warspite almost for free. But there's also Commander. And Homefleet Grey. Can you equip a Homefleet Grey camo? Yeah, give me a moment to grab a ship like Warspite. And then we'll throw it on. And also, I want to point out this. The Adventure Token thing down here. This is free. So this is your login daily. There's a bunch of things. I think it's like 20.

00:28:19 No, wait. I have to find it in my camouflage tab. It is. It's 20. So over the course of 20 days, you pop in and you'll get a thing. And you can obtain it. Boop. I'll get 10 adventure tokens. And tomorrow I'll get something else. So these are free. You just got to log in. Do you know what category it might be under? The permanent one. Because it's not under expendable. It's only available as the permanent for this thingamajig.

00:28:44 Do you have one? I might not have one. Well, maybe if we have some tokens, you might just be able to buy one to show off on stream.

00:28:52 Let's double check. We have a few tokens. So I'm going to go ahead and buy one. We'll do the thing. We can get up to five. I did not come prepared. Oh wait, I do have one. I do have one. It's right here. Alright, well I just bought one. But he's going to show it to you. Off we go to my screen. So this is Home Fleet Gray. On the Warspite. So very nice monotone camouflage if you're into that. I heard some people were like, whoa, I like this.

00:29:20 Yeah, I'm honestly usually a pretty big fan of the nice, clean, single-tone camouflages. Like this one. All the single colors I think look pretty nice, especially in the Magical School Bus ones. But yeah. Yeah, it's a good tone. There was somebody on the Privateer Discord like, hey, can we get more of these? I was like, yeah, you can pick them up. But once you get a permanent camo, it should also kind of unlock the thing.

00:29:48 So if you wanted to pick up some more with doubloons or whatever, it opens that availability up to you. So it's not that you would have to get them all through tokens if you get just the one. I believe that should open it up for you to do the thing. Oh, maybe not. All right, well, it's 30 past the hour, and we talked about a dev blog. So I think, I think, I'm feeling like it's dev blog. You're feeling it's time already?

00:30:15 Well, I mean... It's already time. Chat, do you want the dublog? Oh, you know what? You're right. We did banter early. Oh my goodness. We should play an Unbreakable Line game. Unbreakable Lines are pretty quick, too. You are so correct. Let's play some Unbreakable Line. I'm sorry, Chat. I am known for doing a little trolling. What should I play for Unbreakable Line? I kind of want to just play the...

00:30:43 Ich bin ja, ich bin Lepanto. Es ist lustig, als die Mode nicht in Tier 10 hat, mein Nummer von Primary Ships wird cut in 1.10, ich denke. Actually, wait, ich werde Unready Lepanto. Kannst du meine Strain? Und ich will equip die Camo, die ich habe. Die Gray, wenn ich es finde, ist es hier.

00:31:11 Sorry ALAG, we're just playing the game right now. No, it's not there. Okay, where was it? What are you looking for? The home fleet. It should be under... Oh dear. Is it under the solid, the single color? No, no, no, it's further down. No? It's further down. Let me close that. It's gonna be here. It's gonna happen. Oh, oh, there we go.

00:31:39 Oh, yeah. That's like a nice flat gray. So it's not super shiny. It's just got a nice flat feel to it. Alright, well, I'm going to go ahead and play with this. I'll give that a go. That's nice. I think I'm going to play the Flander.

00:32:01 Also, the reflection effects, like with the wet deck, are just super spicy. Can you switch us over to Unbreakable Align? Oh, yeah. Sorry. The game is pretty. I was busy. You want to buy the Missouri? Well, it'll come eventually, I'm sure. Oh, you're in a Tier 8? Yeah. Alright. Why not? Rockin'.

00:32:28 I haven't played this ship in a very long time, so I figured I'd give it a shot. That's the perma camo in the armor? Yes. So it's a perma camo in the expendable camouflages. They work on any and every ship. Same thing for this. So this is a permanent camo that you can equip into whatever ship you like. And I like playing the Lepanto, so very likely I'll get a little mileage out of it. Alrighty. Can you make a setting to delete rust? I have heard there are some people that are...

00:32:56 Man, they want the rust gone. Maybe we should add like a... Like a rust removal service. Like you hire some dudes to just come wipe all the rust off your ship. That could be spicy. We have a raid from the White Wolf. Hello, 46 viewers from the White Wolf. Rawr.

00:33:16 I play Toho, but I don't know how to pronounce Flandern. I know, it's very sad. Enjoying Lepanto is a sign of sociopathy. I've seen Escanse do pretty well with it. It's very capable in this mode. Yeah, I mean, SAP is just nasty, and you're fighting at pretty close ranges the whole match, so you don't have to worry too much about the Italian battleship wonky accuracy. You gotta elevate your happiness, Mr. Average. Like, you gotta stop being average. You gotta be...

00:33:43 ...above average in terms of happy and joy. Is the glass half full of sconce? Yeah, just living in the blah. It gets old. I don't know, some people can enjoy misery. Recreational misery. Yeah, misery loves company, and hanging out with misery is like... ...you can do it all day, every day, and twice on Sunday, but it does get old.

00:34:07 Or it should be in open world mode. I would love an open world World of Warships. That would be cool. There was a guy who kind of like came up with a whole idea of how that could be where you could sail around and stuff. That would be pretty. Yeah, you should have an open worlds permadeath like you lose your ship when you die mode.

00:34:28 Unlock your Yamato, sail it in the open world, die, have to grind it again. So I think the Azuma's got the fight, sync, repeat mindset going. Yeah, I think everybody's running it in. But there's really... There's some aspects of this mode if you treat it in kind of a competitive way where... Strategy? Yeah, like you can rally to take a cap.

00:34:55 Aber dann hast du die Leute, die ich habe. Ich würde, ich würde nicht sagen, ich würde gerne sagen, ich würde gerne sehen, in eine Clan-Battle-Season. Ja, das würde ich gerne sehen. Also, die Azuma ist weg. Wer könnte das sehen? Goodbye. Oh, I'm on fire. I might actually just be able to... I'm gonna run it down. I'm gonna ram him.

00:35:24 Whoever says, hell no thanks. Aw, come on, no fun. Aw, too high, that's too bad. Well, I mean, I'm really, I'm not even joking. If you were put in a position where you needed to coordinate pushes and holds, and you sat down with a capable group of folks to really dial in on it, I think you would have more fun than you might expect.

00:35:53 um in the case where everybody's just kind of treating it as like the charge for charge for charge forward yolo and get wrecked mode yes it's gonna lack some of the nuance but um if you could orchestrate this kind of like a counter-strike thing or like an overwatch thing where you're you're moving and pushy pushes and rallies like

00:36:16 Ich denke, dass es ein reales Potenzial ist. Especially mit der Attrition aspect. Weil, wenn man die Dämpfe des Dämpfes ist, dann ist es so gut, bis man re-spawn. So... Ich würde einfach nur ein Respawn-Mode mit einem Plant-The-Bomb-Kindem-Kindem-Kindem-Kindem.

00:36:29 I don't know if I reload fast enough to take these two. I think I'm gonna die here. Also, I literally forgot I have heal in this mode. Well, I mean, you can always save your heals for your later respawns since you don't recharge consumables. Ooh. I lived. Spicy. Come on.

00:36:50 Kind of surprised I haven't gone down yet either. Oh, if I could... Well, I'm not going to be able to ram the Pommern. But he turned his guns away. I guess he just figured I was dead. I make that mistake sometimes. You just assume your team will finish something and two minutes later he's still alive. Well, at least we claimed something, so that's cool.

00:37:10 How far away am I from actually going dark? Holy shit. I don't think you're going dark. I am dark. I'm on fire, so it doesn't matter. But I was dark. The nice thing about the Lepanto is...

00:37:27 The way that the armor is configured, she's brawlier than you would think. And frankly, the armor is pretty hefty. Yeah, I mean, I think most of the Italian battleships have pretty decent armor plating at least. So it's actually pretty hard to heal damage to them.

00:37:42 Zap ammo is too strong against Submarines, needs nerf. It's strong, it's just strong enough. Yeah, I would say you really just don't want to get caught on the surface. Duh. Now it sounds pretty obvious, but you know, like if there's a Venezia nearby, you really don't want to be on the surface.

00:38:03 Es ist extra bad. Sorry, das DUB hat es für mich gemacht. Ja, es ist so, wenn du in Battleship spielen willst, du wahrscheinlich nicht wirst bei HE, richtig? Das ist das Problem. Asymmetrik ist kind of boring, aber ich glaube, es ist sehr populär bei Battleship. Es geht darum, wie du in der Spiel genießen möchtest. Es geht darum, wie du in der Spiel genießen möchtest. Es gibt einige Leute, die wollen gegen andere Spieler spielen und gegen andere Spieler spielen.

00:38:28 All the crazy shit that players can come up with and their other foes that they just want to play shooty boats. And they would like a large amount of enemy boats to shoot and have fun shooting them. And that is exactly what asymmetric is. And you know modes like asymmetric end up being pretty brawly a lot of the time because you can just get in close with the bots. And not only that, like asymmetric I think, I don't know what the actual average win rate of it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's like 60%. Yeah, I mean the bots are a lot smarter in asymmetric than they are in co-op for example. They are.

00:38:56 So it is a bigger challenge for people who like PvE modes and are tired of maybe playing Operations all the time. It's a good change of pace. Why are we talking about asymmetric? Chad brought it up. Definitely no other reason. Of course, that's what it is.

00:39:16 No, just think about for one, like we bring it back in 2026, you know. 2026? I mean, that's pretty early. I mean, we could bring it back in 2030 at the earliest, I think. Maybe do like a 20-year special anniversary event. Yeah, on the 20th anniversary of WoW. I like that. Return the mode, it would be fantastic. That sounds nice. I believe we can get some folks in chat to get behind us. Ooh, gotta sit on him.

00:39:44 Oh, I've been sitting here, no one has been shooting me for the last, like, 10 minutes. Quite nice, it's been very relaxing, actually. Oh, I say that Asthma shoots me and makes fire. No! Why did I say anything? Why did you say anything? So I'm pretty sure I got some Citadels on the Njord before. Can we do it again? Nope, just pens. Asthma is still just running it down to the outside. We got some more Siths here. Maybe I let a little bit too far back. Buffalo had a bad time.

00:40:13 Ah, zwei Overpens. Njord hat Torpedos, nicht? Ja, aber ich glaube, er hat einen Torpedos, aber er hat einen Torpedos. Ja, aber er hat einen Torpedos, aber er hat einen Torpedos. Ja, aber er hat einen Torpedos.

00:40:37 So sad. I'm dead. It does happen from time to time. I think I had a gun get knocked out so it screwed up the pacing. Is this a secondary Flander? It is actually. It's just what I had on the ship.

00:40:53 I will eventually go dark. Can we spot the Pommern? Yes, we can. I will go dark here for a little. We're pretty close to winning here. I think the Epiranga will get on B, but we can probably focus him down. Might have to ram the Z23. Well, I mean, if you can get it done, go for it. I think I'm just going to have to hard turn and hope that I juke whatever the Torps are. Surely the Pommern won't sit at all you. The answer is no.

00:41:24 But I might still be able to get a shot off before the Twerps hit. Come on, come on, give it to me. I can't believe Geishu, of all people, has fallen for the French Secondary's trap. When the French Battleship line first came out in the distant, distant past, I used to play Alsace with the Secondary spec. And I think it got a nerf, I think also quite a long time ago now, to the Secondary Rate of Fire. But it used to be a total monster with the IFHE in the Secondary building.

00:41:52 Obviously not very tanky, but if you got people in the secondary range, they would just die. If I show you, if I give you quackens, will you give me the second half of the code? Well, first off, it's not 1440. And second off, your bribes mean nothing to me. The sconce is incorruptible.

00:42:14 All you gotta do is just hang out. Hang out, watch the stream, have some fun. You're doing it right now. You're hanging out, you're talking in chat, having the greatest time of your life. It's amazing. Watch the stream and the codes will come. Yeah.

00:42:27 oder so if you watch it and yes the code is not this week not this week i think we've actually caused a fair amount of confusion people are like wearing word code well i'm okay with causing confusion because if it if it gets people to talk about it then they know that it's coming and they'll be ready for it tomorrow well not tomorrow sorry tomorrow go tomorrow not tomorrow not tomorrow

00:42:54 Can't believe there's a code coming tomorrow. Watching the stream and not playing the game? I believe you can multitask. You can do both. That wasn't too bad.

Gameplay und Modi-Diskussionen

00:43:12

00:43:12 2.6k base with the Landra? Is that how you say it? I don't think so. That was a nice match. I love Unbreakable Line. It's pretty spicy. I know there are folks that are just going to dive in and die. I think if I was currently grinding anything Tier 8 to 9, I would just be permanently in Unbreakable Line right now. Also for the Dockyard Missions, if you guys didn't know, you can complete most of the Dockyard Missions in Unbreakable Line.

00:43:41 I would love to play again. I might even play the same ship. I'll be honest. I think I'm going to play the same ship again, too. I'm really enjoying the Lepanto in her natural element. Esconce is locked into the Lepanto. It's just so good.

00:43:57 You'll play it in randoms, and everything is so far away, and it's like, when can I finally get to play the game? Because the gun accuracy is horrid, and if you're the first one to go forward, it just means you're the first one to get shot. You gotta pick your moment. Play JV? Oh, too late. Maybe if we play another one, I'll play some JV. Some Bart could be interesting. You're working on Transformer missions, and Unbreakable does not work for it. Aw, that's too bad.

00:44:29 Well, once you finish those up, you can come over and hang out in the Unbreakable line. What are you going to do when we try to enter the code we think we have figured out, but it's wrong? And you try several times and then you're locked out.

00:44:40 I'm not sure if I can help you with that. My suggestion would be to be careful with entering the code. Excluding Unbreakable Line from certain missions is a weird choice. So when missions are made, we often have a template that has a lot of the standard stuff. There's randoms, co-op, operations and stuff. And there are not always events going on.

00:45:03 Events can happen. I think Unbreakable Line didn't actually start on the first day of the patch. I think it started a little bit in maybe. So sometimes there's a little wibbly wobbly timey whininess when it comes to events. And because of that, if you have sort of an external event, like the Transformers code, it may not catch all the particulars. And in this case, it looks like it didn't, but...

00:45:27 There's a lot of game to enjoy, so you might not be able to play in Unbreakable Line, but there's all sorts of other options for you to hang out in. Two Musashis I definitely don't like seeing because they overmatch me everywhere. It's a little bit sad. Oh well, maybe I'll spam some HE this match.

00:45:49 Italian seasoned commanders. We definitely know people with more seasoned commanders with improved skills for other nations, so definitely something we're aware of.

00:46:01 Du hast die Battleship mit den Squishy-Notes. Ich habe das gemacht. Du hast die Battleship mit den Squishy-Notes. Ich habe das gemacht. Du hast das aufgerissen. Wie können die Musashi-Notes spielen? Das ist so verrückt. So verrückt. Unbreakable Line needs to be 20 minutes long and have points for kills. Well, it has points for kills. You mean negative points. That was actually removed.

00:46:28 Wenn es in der Test-Test-Test-Test-Test-Test-Test-Test-Test-Test

00:46:56 Ich denke, die 15-Minute Timer... Die 15-Minute Timer und die... ...removal von... Oh, mein Gott. Oh, vielleicht ist es so strong. Ja, die Rewards für Killing Enemies... Ich denke, es ist nicht, wie du gesagt, Zehren-Teams-Out-Einstellte, weil du re-spawn kannst, und die Leute versuchen es zu runter. Und du starte mit 150 Punkte, so... NO!

00:47:22 Showed by the accuracy. Not really sure what I can do here into this Musashi other than take 25k damage every 30 seconds. Kind of yikes. Maybe I should have held my shot and just gone for like a drive-by here. Have you ever heard of a comedian Bill Burr? I have. I don't think I've actually listened to a lot of his stuff. Well, he has good stuff. Can recommend. But he mentions like, you know, if you ever see the wild animal documentary, you know, what do you do when there's a wild tiger?

00:47:51 Don't look at it. Run faster than your friend. Yeah, don't move toward it. Don't back away. Just, you know, lean back slowly while you push your best friend forward. That kind of stuff. Oh, shoot. Oh, well, unfortunately, he incapacitated my first gun, so don't get to kill him here, but I almost got him. Hopefully my teammates can finish him off. Get him, Wisconsin. I'll try, man.

00:48:22 You want Savage Battles back? That was a pretty fun mode. Yeah, Savage Battles was gnarly. It's fun times. I might be able to get this shot off before I get clonked. But I think... Oh, good. Alright, well, somebody handled that. It's been handled. Yeah, been handled. Sounds like you called in a hit on him or something. I need a little more angle, sir. You wish Mode Shuffle would come back?

00:48:50 Das war ein sehr guter. Ich habe Modeshuffel ein sehr guter. Du musst wissen, vielleicht Modeshuffel wird wieder mit mehr Modes kommen. Du hast ihn getrennt? Vielleicht. Ich habe ihn von 18 Kilometer entfernt. Ja, ich denke, ich bin getrennt. Ich denke, wir haben eine Snuggle im Stream. Ich denke, dein Körper hat zwei von mir, also ich nicht hit ihn.

00:49:16 It's okay, it's nice to get a hug. Yeah, sometimes the enemy team just wants to give you a tap. Yeah, Mode Shuffle actually had a lot of positive reviews. There were some folks that really vibed on the Mode Shuffles. I mean, the nice thing about modes like Mode Shuffle is oftentimes it can just feel like a more relaxed experience to playing the game than to hop into randoms and have your stats tracked and everything. I'm just saying, I would love if ranked...

00:49:43 is where like all the stats were saved forever and random so you could just like just play the game and vibe i mean you can just hide your stats yeah but there are other people that don't hide their stats so like they can't vibe because they're like no my stats so

00:49:58 Das ist ja, es wäre schön, wenn die Leute einfach so glücklich sind. Ja, warum sind die Leute immer so glücklich? Ja, warum hast du so glücklich? Du musst dich glücklich sein. Das ist ein ziemlich guter Quote, ja. Wer ist die Stats? Manche Leute und manche Leute.

00:50:21 There are a lot of different ways to derive enjoyment from a game. And some people will focus on... Yeah, like one-shotting this Otago right here would give me a lot of dopamine. Just saying. I am too. Four overpens, come on! Womp womp. Sorry, man. I think I aimed it pretty badly, to be fair. Sometimes these shells are like lasers, but only if the ships are angled at like... Yeah. 70 degrees.

00:50:48 At optimum SAP angle for maximum devastation. Yeah, I don't know. It's just, if the ships are angled in such a way, they like, all of a sudden they become like sniper shells. And then they turn broadside or directly at you. You're just throwing a fistful of confetti into the wind. I think I should get a pretty decent drive-by this time on the Musashi. Unless I totally mess it up, which I might, because I honestly don't have a lot of experience with drive-bys. I don't play too much battleship usually.

00:51:14 Actually, I'm just gonna pop a heal here preemptively because he's gonna 30k me with his next shot, guaranteed. I mean, you can always try to ram him. Nah. It's more fun to do the drive-by and get... Well, yeah, the drive-by is pretty cool. That's some serious dopamine right there. Oh, look, he's lining up his turrets. He broke my gun again. Come on. Come on. Oh, I can't get the turret on. So sad. To get a good piece of him, at least. Yeah. I mean... Okay, so I'm doing what you're not supposed to do, right?

00:51:42 After the drive-by, you're not supposed to keep turning to get your gun on. You're supposed to just even out your angle so you don't keep showing Citadel. But I really wanted to get the turret on. Don't greed. Always greed. I reload faster. I can get him. Now I'm probably just going to get torqued by the New Ord as soon as he gets his torqued off cooldown.

Ankündigung von Update 14.5 und asymmetrischen Schlachten

00:52:05

00:52:05 We'll see. Clan Battles start in North America in 40 minutes, so it kind of screws the stream audience, huh? Well, just leave the stream on, and when you hear people talk about the code, then you'll be able to check it out. Or you can start playing Clan Battles a little later if you really want. It's up to you. It's not a big thing. Here's a fun fact. You're not going to redeem the code and then suddenly be ineligible to get a yacht. The code starts next patch. You know what ends next patch?

00:52:33 Klan battles. There you go! Oh my god! I didn't actually plan for that, but it's almost like it was planned. What do you know? What a clutch addition there, bruh. At least I'm pretty sure. I might have the schedule. Oh, he's unsure. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be pretty clutch if true.

00:52:55 But your yacht! We're getting yachts? You guys are getting yachts? We're getting yachts! If you don't get this code, your dog will starve. There's a nice theme for a code. Dog food. Dog food code. Oh, cool. Guaranteed to feed your pets. Oh, I even got them with the fire. That's pretty awesome. Lepanto fire kill? What?

00:53:21 It's always funny to see that with chips that don't have HE getting fire kills. Alright, so... My favorite is getting a fire kill with a Neptune, because your secondary's lit a fire. So let's see if we can do this whole broadside rush thing, right? Oh, this is actually one of my favorite ways to get citadels in co-op, is to take an Italian chip, smoke right up next to a bot, and just... Yep, bonk. Oh, I think we were about to win here again. I think the Musashi got squeezed.

00:53:52 Oh, I just totally missed the jungle. We got an Arsonist and Wither with a Lepanto before. Spicy. Really? In randoms? Somebody said they did the thing. That's crazy. Alright, can we get just enough to... Uh-oh, one more kill ends the game. Letago! Come on, buddy. No! Oh, 9k damage. Oh, well.

00:54:14 This ship is amazing for this mode. Learning to love the Lepanto. I know a lot of people give the Lepanto shade.

00:54:23 But I mean, it seems like it has a pretty good niche. It's fantastic in this mode. Like they built these ships to be mid to short range. And I know there are a lot of people that are like, well, I'll get a secondary ship because secondary ships are awesome for mid. And yeah, they are, sure. They're pretty cool. But this is like a gun-focused short to mid range. Although the guns are so cross-eyed, but like when you get close enough that you can't miss. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Clunk. Oh, by the way, top of the team again. Damn, dude. Yeah.

00:54:52 Wanderer's kind of doing it for me. Why doesn't Narvik work with Unbreakable? Hmm, does Narvik not work with Unbreakable? Well, I think, I don't know if Unbreakable continues in 14.4. It might be ending soon. Yeah, it might not be a long-lasting inconvenience, but still, you can bring that up on the Discord and mention, hey, can you check into this? And we can try to look into that. All right, so it is almost the top of the hour.

00:55:20 Oh, I mean, it's almost DevBlog time? I feel like it's eventually got to be DevBlog time. And now is probably DevBlog time. Echo is driving you nuts. I think you may be one of the few people having that problem. So maybe check to see if you have other instances of the stream open. Yeah, you might. Or just refresh the stream if it's being silly for something. I don't know. Can't wait to see another Fletcher. I would love more Fletchers. Can't wait until I have 100 Fletchers in my port.

00:55:49 Actually, I know there's a guy, I think Merc85, was a friend of mine in a clan that I used to be in. I think he's currently in Bonki. But he's like in his 80s, plays at a competitive level, and he's played Fletcher over 2,000 times. I mean, Fletcher's a pretty comfy ship. A game all in itself. It's just the Fletcher. I know some people pick a single ship and they just stick with it. By the way, Chad is requesting to see your captain skills on the Flounder. Oh, sure.

00:56:17 Again, I haven't played the ship in randoms in quite a while, so I mean, the build might be kind of chill. But we basically have it set up for a run-it-down secondary build. I'm actually not really sure why I have Vigilance. It's probably because the turret rotation is fine already, and I'm not taking it to an expert, so brisk is kind of whatever. Flounder has these 100mm secondaries with very fast reload.

00:56:44 mit einer decenten Fire Chance. So, es ist basically wie ein Fire Spammer-Secondary Build. Ich denke, wenn ich nicht Trollen würde, würde ich etwas wie... wie das.

00:56:54 We're going to take IFHE instead of Torpedo Protection, so the secondaries can actually do damage. Chad is saying it's heresy. Yeah. I mean, something like this would probably work out pretty well. The weird thing with Flounder is it only has three heals base, whereas most other battleships have four. Oh, yeah. But it has a lot of base hit points, so it's almost like it has the extra heal built in, compared to other Tier VI French battleships especially. So, pretty cool ship, in my opinion.

00:57:23 Plays pretty differently, like the Richelieu, for example. You know, I bet that's also where some of that base XP came from, because you were tier 8 versus a bunch of tier 9s, so you probably, you know, you were punching above your weight, so to speak. Raking in the bonus XP from Citadel-ing those Musashis. Gnarly, that's right, yeah. So yeah, I'd probably just swap Vigilance for IFHE, so the 100mms actually do damage, because if you look at the last game, for example...

00:57:47 I did 12k damage with the secondaries with almost 700 hits, which is not a lot, but 90k fire damage. 90k is pretty spicy. Yeah, if you didn't have IFHE, you probably might have a little more fire. So with IFHE, this is probably a little bit more of an even split. At least I got a fire kill on a Lepanto. Alright, so I do enjoy a little...

00:58:11 Trolly tease. I do. Is it finally time? It feels like it's gotta be time. I might actually need a moment here so I can actually pull the dublog text. You know, you might actually be correct on that. Oh, I even put the link in here. That's nice. So, woot. Alright.

00:58:29 So first things first, 14.5 is coming, and can you, this is out there to everybody in Chatland, can you? Is 14.5 after 14.4, is that how numbers are? 14.5 is after 14.4, we're only 14.3 right now, so this is in the distance. 14.4 is very soon though, so this is basically after what's coming soon.

00:58:50 What fire damage did your Lepanto get? Okay, this is very important, and I'll postpone the dev blog for this. Thank you for asking that question. Yes, thank you, ALG. Chat needed to know. Fire damage, I did 3,753 fire damage. And got a kill with it, right? Got a kill with it. That's a lot more than zero. All right, all right. So, chat, what is the first part of 14.5 that we are going to talk about? Now, I did. Actually, a great question. I did.

00:59:19 What is the first item? First item on the list. Look around, maybe. What are we seeing break over the horizon that we might just happen to see? If anybody was looking at the North American Announcements channel, you might have an idea, but otherwise you can guess in the chat. Just start talking already. We are talking. We're talking already. I'm already talking.

00:59:40 Oh, I see it. Valkyrie Warframe. Asymmetric Battles. Oh, is that my cue to... Oh, yeah, sure. We can do the thing. I really, if I was an animator, I would animate the sun with asymmetric battles in front of it coming over the water. So, yeah, no fancy...

01:00:02 We have a few screenshots from everybody's beloved mode, Asymmetric Battles. A lot of people like this. We are actually in 14.4, so that's coming up pretty soon. There's going to be something I think called Perilous Route, which will be a little asymmetric-y because you'll be attacked by many a bot on the way of protecting your... They tend to be a little bit lower tiered than the player ships. While you're protecting your...

01:00:25 um mr president boat but in this we are returning to form with bringing back asymmetric battles which is requested over and over and over and over again so it's always happy to see it come back um it's going to be again five ships versus 12 classic settings yeah and um

01:00:45 So it's up to two battleships, up to two cruisers, up to two destroyers, only up to one sub or one aircraft carrier on the player side. There are no subs on the enemy side, but there could be a CV and those CVs can be kind of deadly. Their aim does not suck. They do know how to aim. And it's going to be tier six to tier super ship.

01:01:06 And the enemies will always be a little lower tier than the folks on your stream. So we did have a little conversation about this earlier. How many folks out there in chat enjoy asymmetric battles? I'm seeing asymmetric battles. Let's go. Where are the haters? Any haters?

01:01:29 I'm pretty sure everybody likes Ace them. Pretty much. I mean, the best part about it is like, if you want to play, you want to challenge, but maybe randoms just feels like effort. You can play some Matrix Battles. It pulls you back just a little bit. So if you normally play some randoms, it's calm. And if you, on the other hand, if you're used to playing co-op, shooting a bunch of targets.

01:01:56 Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut. Es ist gut.

Experimentelle Schiffe und Classified Documents in Clan Battles

01:02:23

01:02:23 All right, so moving on, we do actually have more in the update. Oh, I thought that was it. Oh, well, no, there's more. The dead blog's not over. There is more. Okay. There's more hiding beneath the surface. So experimental ships are still around. They showed up a few updates ago, and we did say that the experimental ships will be leaving in 14.7, but...

01:02:47 You might be thinking, oh my goodness, I have all these credits, but also I have these report things. What do I do with the action reports? I keep getting action reports. What the hell? How can I use them? I can't hold all these action reports. I can't hold all these action reports. Well, there are going to be a few more experimental ships that will be coming in. These are going to be a little different than the ones that we've seen already. I don't think they start with reduced health. No. Oh, God.

01:03:14 Oh, God. I don't think they do. I'm pretty sure they don't. Should definitely know this for sure. Oh, well. Womp womp. So, but the big thing is they are going to have powerful secondary guns. And as you do lose health, so there is still a little bit of this health mechanic, they gain range as well as rate of fire. On their secondary batteries. On their secondary batteries. So for players who enjoy brawling and close range stuff.

01:03:40 There will be some experimental ships for you. So there's a little bit of brawly potential in the current batch of experimental ships because you can hit that F key and half of your range magically disappears. But you get that crazy burst. Yeah, but you get the burst, you know. So you could brawl, but it could be a little tough, especially if you're kind of wounded already. But with these, if you're going in...

01:04:00 Und wenn du in die Blöcke hast, ist es schärfen die Capabilität der Secondarien, als du in der Nähe mit ihr drangst. So für die Secondary Ballers, das wird einfach eine perfekt fit sein. Und wie Sie sehen, haben wir die Protektor, die Hotaka und die Varese. Ja. Also, ich glaube, du hast bereits geholfen die ersten Gruppe von Experimental Ships. So, du kannst du starten direkt auf diese, wenn du so möchtest. Oh, das ist cool, ja.

01:04:28 But these are only here until 14.7. So you'll have a little bit to play. So in 14.5 you can pick them up. You'll have a patch or two to check them out. And then they will be adiosin' down that trail. So if you want to check them out, they'll be available for you. And like I said, if you are, what can I do with all these action reports? You will have a place that you can redeem them. And you can pick up those ships for free if you have action reports and credits. You don't have to spend doubloons if you don't want to.

01:04:56 Really? More of them? No! I think the current ones that are out there are notably different enough that it's just kind of like it feels weird, man. I think the...

01:05:10 They definitely have a very different set of features compared to basically anything else in the game. So they play very uniquely, which can be a bit of a struggle to play against sometimes. I don't know if these are going to feel as outlier. I think these are going to feel a little more standard by comparison. So if you are feeling that experimental ships are just like, it's just too much, man. These are probably going to feel a little more normal. But still.

01:05:37 It's a little something extra that you can check out for a limited time if you want to have a different play experience. Just stop, says Eloquent Fish. 14.7, they will be gone. That is true. 14.7, they will be gone. Next up on the list, we have... Next up on the list, we have... This could be a little contentious. Do you think it'll be contentious? I think it probably will be. We have...

01:06:04 So, we talked about this before.

01:06:32 There are some folks that will say, hey, what the hell, why do you have to restrict this ship and that ship and ban these ships and other stuff in this mode? Why can't you just balance your game? So if you've been playing, for example, the current season of Clan Battles, there are a lot of restrictions right now, kind of aimed at shaking up the meta, making sure things are fresh and that a lot of the very overperforming ships aren't just dominating the meta. But that can be a big struggle for clans who don't have a very deep player pool or whose players may not own a lot of ships.

01:07:00 It can really be a struggle for some people to put lineups together. That it can. So, there are some other games out there. You know, there are more games than just World of Warships. Heresy! I tell you, heresy! That they may have like a ban system where you could ban a character or, in our case, a ship or something. We don't have that. That's not part of our clan stuff. But the use of these classified documents means there are basically three tiers of ships, we'll say.

01:07:27 The first tier, the top tier, the Napoli tier, you might say. The Petropavlovsk. The Petropavlovsk tier. These are ships that really perform very well in the boat. They consistently perform very well in a smaller team environment. They're tanky. Lots of utility. Yeah, they bring the stuff that a good 6v6 team needs, so to speak. And that's cool, but with this concept, with the classified document thing, where you could pick a document that'll make you stronger against an enemy ship.

01:07:57 Those Tippity Top Napoli Petro tiers, they won't have any classified documents. They get zero. So if you pick a ship like maybe a Zao, for example, you might get two slots to use your classified documents, and you get to pick two specific ships on the enemy team to apply those classified documents against. Or, for example, like an enemy Des Moines or an enemy Napoli, if they're bringing one. If you're bringing something that's a little bit more standard in clan battles, like let's say maybe you're bringing a Daring to contest a Cap.

01:08:24 Pretty solid, Standard Destroyer, but still pretty strong. You might get one slot to use against the enemy ships. So you're not getting those two slots to get bonuses against enemy ships, you're just getting the one. And then like you said, if you're bringing the Napoli, if you're bringing the Petro, if you're bringing the Alexander Nevsky, you might get zero. Yeah, so this allows, like the goal of this is, the people that are playing the game are the ones that are going to be choosing. Do you play something that's a little off-brand? Maybe bring a Hindenburg.

01:08:51 And you run it off on, say, the off-flank, where normally you'd run it to a bunch of Napoles. Well, Hindenburg's got some really good pen. You could probably pen a Napoli. That could be cool. But if you took that option and you had two different classified documents, well, you could probably pick something that maybe will help you operate out wide on that flank. And suddenly the Hindenburg could be a bit spicier of a pick than it would otherwise be.

01:09:15 Instead of just going, what's the strongest ship in this thing? I'll pick this one and just pick it over and over again. So the whole concept of this is that it allows a whole lot more player options because you can choose what documents am I going to bring depending on where the ship is. And with all that in mind, the classified documents for this season basically replaces the restriction system. I don't think we actually mentioned that yet. Where instead of having a bunch of bans and restrictions and super complicated ship pulls and such.

01:09:43 We're just going to be letting the Classified Document System run its course and see how that affects things. Yeah, so ideally, power to the players, man. This is kind of putting that, how do you want to play this out? How do you see your strat working and giving you the gamut of the ships so that you can see what you can make work? That is the goal. And, you know, it might work out, it might not work. Let us know.

01:10:07 And we can factor that in going forward. And in the screenshot, for example, you can see some of the buffs there, but just to go over things, each document does give you buffs tailored against a specific ship. For example, a document against Conqueror might increase your damage by 10% when firing at the Conqueror from all armaments, and might reduce the risk that you get set on fire by Conqueror by 40%. Against Austin, you might get a 10% damage buff, get an extra damage bonus against her Citadel with AP and SAP by, say, another 20%.

01:10:36 Und es kann weniger SAP-Damage von 10%. So, es ist ein sehr guter Stat-Buff. Wenn du eine Hindenburg-Buff hast, hast du eine Hefty-Buff gegen zwei Schicks. Wenn du die Stronger-Metaships hast, wie Petropavlovsk-Buff hast, hast du eine Option gemacht. Ja. Und tatsächlich, ich möchte sagen, dass wir ein bisschen incorrect sind. So, wir gehen über die Format. Es wird 7v7-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff-Buff.

01:11:05 Um, no more than one battleship per team. So sometimes there's two, sometimes there's one. In this case, there is one. And there are actually some restrictions. There's a restriction on Louisiana, Commissar, and Hildebrand. So we will not have hybrids in this, which means, again, you're not going to be playing Dances with Planes in the clan battles. And again, less targeted at power level here and more at, for example, not having carriers in the mode. Just kind of removing plane spotting as a factor here for...

01:11:32 So there's two things I want to respond to.

01:11:58 One is, it's like messing with the classic Coke formula. You're not reading the room. Well, there are some folks that have played Clan Battles for a long time. They have been there, they have done that, they've played the meta, they've played the same meta, they've played the meta again. We've added some restrictions, they mixed it up a little, but by restricting ships that stand out, you kind of move to the next tier. And then you restrict those and you move to the next tier. But that's almost pre-planned because the game has been around so long, we have a lot of ships.

01:12:27 Und Leute lernen die strengths von den Schiffen. Sie bringen in die Baked-in Formats. Ich würde sagen, eine der große Herausforderungen wir haben mit der Clan Battles ist, dass wir diese Restriktionen machen, wir können diese Restriktionen machen, wir können sie alle zwei Wochen machen, und wir können die Meta machen. Und das bleibt es ziemlich interessant für die Top-Level Teams. Aber dann, als wir auf Storm kommen, als wir auf die Leute, die sind eher super-competitive, super-tri-hard, und mehr Casual, die Heavy Restriktionen wirklich placesen eine große Bedeutung auf sie und ihre Abilität zu participate, in terms of wie viele Schiff sie haben.

01:12:56 kann der Spieler bringen, wie sie aus der Logistik zu planen für alles bringen. Und es macht es ziemlich hart. So, definitiv looking for vielleicht eine Alternative Lösung hier. Und da war die Frage, will wir diese Dokumente für free werden? Ja, ich glaube, sie werden alle beendet werden, als die Clan Battle starten. Du wirst nicht mehr für die Dokumente, es sollte einfach nur ein Feature of the Mode sein. No Unlocking, einfach nur ein Ding. Aber speaking of Dokumente, Classified Dokumente werden weitergehen mit Flagships.

Flaggschiff-Operationen, Zerstörer USS Johnston und neue Kommandanten

01:13:23

01:13:23 Operations with Flagships, again, like the Experimental Ships, are around until 14.7. But we're making them tougher, is what we're doing. We're making them a little rougher, is what we're doing. So why don't you inform us a little bit on that? Sure. So the key change for Operations with Flagships coming up in 14.5 is that you still have the current Classified Document System, but you'll actually be able to upgrade the Classified Documents up to Level 8.

01:13:48 And you'll do this by using intel tokens that you earn from combat missions. So you play the mode, earn the tokens, spend them on upgrading your documents. And in terms of what you might do at level one, you might have, for example, from your classified documents, plus 10% torpedo damage, plus 10% flooding damage. And then at level eight, that might go all the way up to 22% torpedo damage and 60% flooding damage. So pretty hefty bonus. And you'll probably need it as the difficulty of the mode scales. So should be a pretty interesting upgrade system.

01:14:17 Yep. So it's a way to make you stronger and also make the enemies a little scarier too. Now we have run this. I think we did test it where if you didn't have any of the upgrades, you're still able to complete it. It's still doable. And don't forget, normal operations are still always available. So operations with flagships is a supplement. If you want to spice it up a little, have a little harder time, it's an option. You don't have to do it.

01:14:41 Yep. And again, I think you should have access to the base level classified documents by default as per usual. And if you can do operations with flagships right now, you should be able to still clear them after the upgrade system. Alrighty. So moving on to the next one. This one's probably going to be kind of cool. Yep. We're on to some cool stuff. We're going to talk about some new content coming to the game. Yeah. Ready? You have a picture? I do. You got a picture? Okay. We got a picture. It's a ship. It's a ship.

01:15:06 So we actually have General Quarters Johnny, GQ Johnny, coming up. It's a Tier IX Destroyer based on the heroic USS Johnston. And this one has a battle-scarred hull and historical flare. So you can see the kind of battle damage on screen there.

01:15:23 Um, I think actually, so GQ Johnny is a Tier IX Destroyer based on the USS Johnston. Um, she has kind of, well, what she went through. And Johnston is a bit legendary for somehow sticking it out through the thick and the thin of one crazy experience. And I believe getting carriers out, all the carriers out, if it was a terrible situation, I believe. But she was weaving smoke. She was vomiting out fire.

01:15:50 Das war in der Close Range, in der Nähe des Battleships. Ja. So, this kind of pays homage to what you went through. And actually, once you get the GQ Johnny, if you choose to get the GQ Johnny, there is access to a four-piece Still Standing Collection, which has kind of the different sections of the ship. Yep. And the state that they were in. And if you do complete this collection...

01:16:14 You will get Commander Ernest E. Evans, who has some enhanced skills. We don't actually, I think, we're not announcing what those skills are just yet. But it's not like Halsey with, you know, super crazy skills. More like John Doe or something where you have some skills which are better. Yeah, it's like the seasoned commanders, for example, like extra bonuses. Also comes with a flag and a still standing achievement, which is pretty spicy.

01:16:42 So, again, you can see the whole number there for the flag and then the ship's bell there for the achievement. Which is super cool. I know Legionnaire is very excited about this. He's been pushing for, he's not only been pushing for the Johnson, but he's been pushing for Evans to be in the game. Literally since he started in like 2021. It's been a journey. He's been cheerleading Evans to be around for a long time.

01:17:04 Let's make a Fletcher clone. Well, you said you wanted more Fletchers. I did say I wanted more Fletchers. Were you being tricksy? Is that what it was? Was this all planned? I actually totally forgot. I did not do that intentionally. I literally didn't think you did either, but now that it came up, I was like, hmm. Well, actually, there is a new Fletcher. What do you know? Big Chief! See, there's Legionnaire in chat. He's very excited. Literally very excited. Awesome stuff. Super excited for this. Okay, well, it wouldn't be an update if there wasn't a variety of additional stuff, and there is... But wait, there's more. Oh, wait. Oh, yeah.

01:17:34 There is more, that's right. There's more. So we have four new commanders coming up, being added to the client with 14.5. We have Marina Carmen Fernandez and Ruby Monroe. They both will have individual voiceovers, as well as Clint R. Fletcher and John L. Warden. And we also have a flag there for experimental ships. Yep. So a whole bunch of new stuff. So I have to say, as far as the...

01:18:03 Some of these pictures are not like the others. No way. We kind of went with more of the time period, I guess, theme for the Lady Commanders, and I think they are very beautiful. They are very lovely. Did they hit the mark? Yes, they do. And also, we have a pin-up Summer Permanent Camouflage, which will also be added. So you can see...

01:18:29 You don't really see much in the way of, you know, like the pinup. If you imagine like a pinup kind of below the waterline there. Unfortunately, I don't think you get to see too much face there, but you get to see some belly. But yeah, so it's a little themed fun in the summer kind of thing. Because 14.5 is a little ways away, and it is May now, which means this will probably be coming out in, well, in the heat of summer. Late June, early July, most likely. Yeah. And we also have some more exciting stuff.

01:18:59 Wait, there's even more. Wait, there's more. The destruction effects just keep on coming. So we have two new destruction effects coming. One of them is this one, Triple Detonation, where you basically get a whole big boom and then some burning oil on the water. I really, I didn't expect, I legit did not expect how much I would like the destruction effects, but you get so used to seeing, you know, you sunk an enemy.

01:19:25 dass wenn du tatsächlich ein Destruction Effekt bekommst, dass es wirklich ein bisschen mehr gibt, weil es etwas anders ist. Es ist sehr neu und anders. Es ist nicht normal hier. Und du kannst dich einfach nicht aussehen. So das ist ein bisschen spicy. Und dann haben wir noch mehr. Wir haben noch eine Destruction Effekt. Wie gesagt, wir haben zwei totalen. Das ist... Oh, ist es... Oh! Oh, did I mess es up? Hold on. I'm gonna... Oh, no! What have I done? Producer Shue ist, uh...

01:19:52 He's got this one fixed, but we do have another one. And remember, it's going to be a little time for some fun in the summer. You know, it's hot. Sometimes you want to just kind of vibe for a little bit. And we have another explosion effect, which... Has anyone ever seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Roger Ratchet. That's Ratchet. This totally gives me Who Framed Roger Rabbit vibes with the 2D kind of sprite stuff.

01:20:21 The little cartoony. The further hilarious, I wish we had the AP shells here, the little plushies, because they look like the little plushies. Yeah, if you got a hold of the AP or HE shell plushies that we were advertising earlier, these do look pretty similar. I mean, AP shells or AP shells. So, I mean, like, again, you know, when you actually get the kill and that animation goes off, like, you notice it, because it's just, it's so not normal.

01:20:48 Wenn das hier geht, dann sehen wir die Tweetie Shells. Das ist toll. Wenn du nicht ein Fan von Cartoon-E-Stuff in deinem Serious-Historical-Warships-Games kannst, du kannst es auf. Also true. Du kannst es auf die Porte, wenn du einfach auf den Cog-Wheel kannst. Oh, das ist der Scout's Port. Ist es auf mine? Es ist auf meiner Moment. Manchmal wenn du die Buttons zu schnell, wird es nicht registriert. Es ist auf mir.

01:21:18 Woop woop, woop. So you can go to the gear setting here in your port, click on that, go to enemy destruction effects, and you can turn off the ones that you don't like. Destruction effects, rejoice! Yeah, so there are some folks that, actually, I got a little lore, you know, from Evan, that a long time ago, you know, we weren't sure about, like, camos. Because, you know, people, serious warship game, you know, do we really want to do...

01:21:47 um cartoonish looking stuff or experiment too weird with camos and stuff and uh that really they kind of didn't touch that subject for a while

01:21:55 But at some point they did and folks really liked them. Hey, you know, I like the colors. I like the different looking ship skins, the octopus, Yamato. I mean, there's a pretty wide and varied audience that plays the game. Some people really appreciate the super historical stuff and some people are a little bit more silly. And then there's a lot of weeaboos. So there's something for everybody. So in the end, you can turn it off if you don't like it. So don't worry. You know, don't have to get that silliness in my Warships game. I see somebody asking, is the devlog over? Actually, no, there's a little bit more to talk about. Not too much more, but just a couple of pieces at the end here. Yeah. Yeah.

01:22:25 Erst, der Upcoming Tier X Dutch Battleship, ist eine zweite sette Airstrikes mit Aircraft-Based ASW, als promised in der Debblog, wo die ship was announced. Yep. So we are implementing that technical capability, where the ship will have two sets of Airstrikes, one regular HG Airstrike and one ASW Airstrike. So initially during testing, it only had the ship mounted ASW while we were working on that, but now it's ready. And then as well, Rocket Anti-Aircraft Armant will be getting a visual and sound improvement with the AA mounts themselves.

01:22:53 So, if you don't know what this is... Yeah, I wish we had a thing for that. I'm curious what that looks like. Well, I can show it in port probably. For somebody, if you have the hood... The hood actually is... Oh my god, I picked cruiser instead of battleship. Sorting ships in port is so hard when you have like 700 of them.

01:23:13 Finderkeeper is asking, when will Warhammer and Sabaton destruction events eventually for the more metal aesthetically inclined people? You know they're popular. So Hood has these wonky anti-aircraft rockets. So these bad boys will be getting, I think, some visual improvements. I'm actually not too sure what other ships have this. I don't know. As far as I'm aware, Hood is the only one that I know personally, but feel free to correct me in chat if there's more.

01:23:39 Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it. They're probably still working on the animation, because like I said, 14.5 is off in the distance. Oh, wait. It's a little ways out, so we still got some time. But 14.4 will eventually show up, and 14.5 will be its way onto PTS. Sineo does have A rockets. Hey! Oh, I actually had no idea that was a thing on this show. What do you know? So yeah, these will be getting a pretty spicy visual effect. I wish we had something to show it off, but we don't, unfortunately. Dumpling.

01:24:08 I do have the dumpling cam on my shinano, it's very cute.

Aktualisierung von Containerinhalten und Japanische Zerstörer

01:24:12

01:24:12 So, other than that... Issa 2? Whoa, no way. What's up? Now we have to find it. There's A-Rockets on the Issa as well, apparently. Oh, there are. There are several containers which will get an update to their contents. The Firepower container, the Wings of Freedom containers, the Battle of Paso de Patria containers, which has the Battle of Paso de Patria collection element, which... I wonder what that is.

01:24:41 I feel like I should know what that is, but it's been so long. Oh my goodness. Is that the commander? Battle of Patro de Patria has Joachim Marquez Lisboa. Yep. So there is a mention of the Battle of Patro de Patria Premium Container in this devlog. That doesn't mean the container will necessarily be coming in 14.5, but we are updating the contents. Just means it got a little love.

01:25:06 Also, wir sind bereit für die Konten der Konten, die bereits erwähnt. Die Japanese Squadron Container. Das ist, dass wir die folgenden Spiele haben. Die Yoshino, die Iwami, die Tsurugi, die Tone, die Hyuga... Hyuga? Hyuga. Und die Issei. Wir haben jetzt schon gesehen, weil wir sie haben. So, all diese Informationen und mehr...

01:25:34 Well, not so much more. But all of this information will be available in the DevBlog, which will drop in probably about 36-ish minutes time. Yep, 7 o'clock central. We'll have the DevBlog up on the DevBlog portal, and it will also be posted to Discord and Reddit shortly after. Yeah.

01:25:50 And we hope you enjoyed this dev blog experience today. Story time is over. I mean, there were some laughs. Yeah, we got asymmetric coming up. Super, super pumped. It's just, when we do dev blogs, you know, normally the dev blogs come out 25 minutes ago.

01:26:07 So we kind of start the devlog and we power through it. You know, we man mode. Yeah, let's go. And that's cool, but you can't luxuriate. You know, you can't smile and laugh. And we can't tease you guys for 35 minutes, but we excruciatingly slowly go over the devlog content. The unconfirmed rumor on the other half of the code is in the devlog. So troll. So about that code in 14.4, I'm saying it again.

Twitch Drops in Update 14.4 und Transformers Inhalte

01:26:29

01:26:29 All the streams. Not right now. Languages streams. Not right now. It's not 14.4 right now. But in 14.4 on the Twitch streams, if you hang out, you'll be able to get a first half of a code and a last half of a code as you watch the stream. And then you can put it in and get the stuff that the code gives. It's a more coal container. So again, it's not a yacht. It's not like you're putting into a giveaway for a trip to the moon. It's a more coal container. But I mean, hey, stuff is cool and it's nice to get stuff. So yeah. Rawr.

01:26:59 Oh, why update firepower containers? I'll be honest, I don't know. So you can check out the dev blog and look at all the contents and see if it works out for you. Alright, so we do have a little bit of time left. We've got, I think, we can check out some Transformers stuff, because Transformers is pretty kicking. And we can also, there was a request earlier in the chat for a Sazuya game. Sazuya? Yeah, I think we'd like some Sazuya. Sure.

01:27:29 That 155mm... Oh no, this is the...

01:27:37 Am I gonna do some Sezuya G is what you're gonna do? Am I do some Sezuya G? You're gonna G-Thang it? Alright, well... Well, actually, my Sezuya G is not set up and my regular Sezuya is. So I think I'll just play regular Sezuya. Alright. Well, if you're gonna do that, I'll play ZF6 and I'll play the normal one too. And we'll be... We'll be... Well, okay, but I'm gonna play it with, like, the dockyard camo. Ooh, okay. I was around back when the dockyard was a thing. It looks pretty spicy. Rawr.

01:28:05 I do like the dockyard camos. So I went to Random Battle, so not Unbreakable Line. Aww. Sorry. I mean, maybe these would be good in Unbreakable Line. It could be. Maybe not so much. Alright, I will click the button. Send it off. Is the DD Somers in any of the current containers? I do not believe so. She has disappeared off into an alternate universe where she sails on... Somers fell into a time vortex somewhere and we're just waiting for her to come out.

01:28:33 She's off in the Bermuda Triangle somewhere. Lost at sea. Flying with Amelia Earhart. On the water. Or something. In the clouds. That is a lot of battleships. Holy smokes. Oops, all battleships. Yeah, up to six. There are some folks that are like, hey, why can't we have more balanced teams or something? And it's a totally valid question. But the matchmaker has to work with what it has to work with. If there's tons of battleships and not as many of the other ships, then...

01:29:02 Will Rhode Island come back? I'm not sure, but that would be cool. I know you're a big fan of Rhode Island. Yeah, I mean, I'm from Rhode Island.

01:29:30 Have to represent the Home State Pride. How about Puerto Rico coming back? She actually came back for a second round at the Dockyard. Yeah, there was a second Puerto Rico Dockyard, so you never know. You never know.

01:29:43 The people that are complaining about the lack of some type of ship are usually the ones who don't play that type of ship. Well, there's actually some folks will only play a certain type of ship and they will complain if they see a lot of that type of ship, which is a little counterintuitive, but I mean... I mean, if I'm playing a battleship, I want to see a lot of cruisers that I can click on, you know? I guess. Yeah, I mean, I make a pretty conscious effort to play all classes of the ship. I find it helps a lot to figure out how to play against things if you played it.

01:30:15 Let's see, Enterprise is probably going for the Rook. No, it's gonna sweep. Alright. I think we could have gone for a longer queue time option for same tier match. Matchmakers are one of those things that there is a lot of data for. So, we do have a pretty good idea of how long people are willing to wait for a match before they'll drop out a queue and things like that.

01:30:37 You can actually, if you do, want to play like a same tier kind of situation and you're willing to just kind of wait it out. Gold Ranked is pretty excellent for that. Because you might be in tier, you might be waiting for like a minute. You might be waiting for like 20. I mean, there are a fair amount of modes that are usually running outside of randoms. And Ranked is a great example, like Ascans was saying, of one that tends to be a little bit more closer in tier. Even like Bronze League, for example, is usually just like plus one, minus one.

01:31:05 You can just choose to play the top tier, if you so desire.

01:31:11 Alright, so ZF6 has a Reload Booster and some super spicy AP if you can get it to Penn. So I would love to force a fight against a DD without getting direct. You have the Mahan there, so you should outspot him, I think. Yeah, you'll outspot him pretty hard. I might not have guns for you if he's up at the top right, but I think you can probably beat a Mahan in a fight. Well, also the CV is coming over, so I don't have smoke. Sorry, I do have smoke. It was not where I expected it to be.

01:31:40 Ich habe 788 Ships, 1 ist eine neue Collection Baggage. Grandmaster, Master Collector.

01:32:10 Maybe once we get up to 1,000 ships we'll add a new super collector tier. Always possible.

01:32:22 Unfortunately, he was really broadside. Oh, I'm going to have Beast Baden. That's going to suck. No, he's focusing on me right now if you're coming around the corner. Okay. Should be alright. I think I'm going to use my reload booster on him. He has smoke, that's right. I almost forgot. As long as he doesn't hydro me at six clicks. I think he's super dud. Yeah, he's feeling like he's having a tough time.

01:32:50 Vielen Dank. Hier ist die Frage. Wenn, Bogsy? Soon, TM. Ja. Ich möchte es zu teilen, aber da wird ein Return of the Bogsy kommen. Return of the Bogsy. His return was foretold.

01:33:15 Yeah, we miss him too. Super excited for Boggy to be back. Very excited.

01:33:23 I never showed anything about Transformers, by the way. That is true. We got distracted by some Sezuya. So we'll have to sneak in some Transformers. I think actually what I'm going to do is play the Reistoffen. Sure. I might have said that correctly. Because it has a really cool camo. Gets jets. Yeah, it has jets. Gets F-15s. I remember the first time we played it on stream, they're like, what people? They had a jet to the game? I actually got that quite a bit too. Just a skin. The planes are the same.

01:33:51 It seems someone foretold another return. The Asymmetrics will be coming back in 14.5. So it'll be a little bit, but they will be revisiting us. Rejoice! I can at least pull a bit of a Boggy. Boggy will be coming back with dark bags under his eyes. Who knows how much sleep he was getting. Hopefully he got some.

01:34:17 Oh, I can't shoot the Mahana, Skance is farming all the EXP. Oh, yeah. Not bleeding correctly, though. They're sad. In fact, I think I'll just shoot the Sharnhorst. I might be able to get him. It's on the 800. There we go. Somebody else got it, though.

01:34:44 Das ist richtig, ich kann versuchen, den Scharnholz zu arbeiten.

01:34:48 Trying to set some fires here. Already got one on him. Well, you are definitely a fire setter in the Sazuya. I think he should have his DCP available, so I might hold my reload booster for when he uses that. Well, given that he's now getting secondaries on me, I will play it safe and do the smoke. Nope, there was the damage control and I immediately set a fire again. Hooray! 15 guns does some nasty work. Yeah, man. I still remember just, like, straight penning.

01:35:18 ... auf einem Schiff mit 40% Hilfe und dann... ... Was? Was?

01:35:26 Alright, start working on Yimihari. Once I get around the island I probably will use the Reload Booster on that. I might be able to draw a little bit of his attention because I'm going to keep shooting while I go into the cap. I imagine I will be spotted at least for a little. I'm just going to pop my Reload Booster here and set the initial fires. Oh, the Enterprise is right there. Now I want to turn all the way and shoot that. I wish I had saved my Reload Booster for the CV.

01:35:52 Ich bin, ich denke, ihr habt einen kurzen Turren, oder? Oder nicht? Das ist die Yodo-Line, aber nicht die Sazia. Ja, das ist Yodo, meistens. Das ist richtig. Ich werde einen noch aufbauen. Ich werde einen noch aufbauen, bevor wir den Enterprise schütteln. Okay, ich werde den Enterprise schütteln. Ich glaube, es ist eine gute Sache, dass wir nicht eine Cap haben, weil... Ja. Wir sind nicht zerraten, aber es ist close. Die Team ist kinder gestorben.

01:36:20 Getting a bit wrecked. You should sneak a sound effect of a baby crying. Oh, I'm actually getting mostly non-pens on him. Yeah, that was actually suggested. That we get like a baby monitor. Augie baby monitor? Interesting. Not sure how he would feel about that. Just, you know, what? No, huh? Yeah, okay. Freak him out a little while at work. Thanks for the stream. Another good one. Thank you very much for hanging out, green monster. I'm just going to eat all these torps and turn towards the Enterprise.

01:36:49 Okay, so you're going for the Enterprise. By the way, I think you've got some fairly decent AA on that. Or at least some spiciness in the close range. You mean lots of 25mm maybe? Am I hitting one shot? Nope, can't remember. Or no, Yodo I think has some fairly brutal ones. Yeah, I don't think Cezuria has very good AA. The Yodo line is like the AA cruiser line for the Japanese ships.

01:37:20 Unfortunately, he is now angled because he was broadside to me. Oh. I switched now. Probably gonna get one shot by the JV here greeting for all my turrets. Are they 152 millimeter guns? I think they are. 155. 155, sorry.

01:37:38 Oh, the JV is running straight away. Okay. That was, if I recall correctly, some of the Japanese guns were slightly oversized compared to other guns, so if any of their ammunition fell into enemy hands, it would not be usable. Huh, I actually didn't know that trivia. But I think Megami having 155s does allow it to pen 38mm, whereas like 152mm cruisers, for example, will pen 37, which is slightly below the USN battleship deck threshold.

01:38:07 Does it have a 203 option like a Mogami? No. It is a dedicated 155mm HE spammer. There you go, topping out again. You're just too good at this game. Oh, that was a pretty quick match. I think if that had gone a little bit more back and forth, I might have been able to eke out a 1 or an E even, but unfortunately it was a little bit too short. Yeah, I took one of the kills, I think. Sorry, man. A sconce, a sconce, a sconce. Alright, well, I am going to play a Transformer ship. I'm telling you, it's a CV.

Transformers Camos und Viscount of Victory

01:38:35

01:38:35 I'm going to play the Manfred von Richthofen, Richthofen, and let me find the camo for it. I think I'm going to play St. Vincent.

01:38:46 The only thing that I find tough about the Transformer camos is if I'm streaming and I get off on a rant or whatever, I start talking or whatever while I'm in port, you'll hear the Transformer noise in the background. Oh, sure. Over and over. So that'll occasionally get me. But I mean, for normal people that pick a ship and then play the game, it's not a thing. But this is Starscream over on the... You can also get a Tier VI version on the Parzival.

01:39:16 That's right, you can. Pretty! I'm not sure if this is actually my correct St. Vincent build, but I'm just going to go with it. Can you show my game? St. Vincent? Yeah. Is there a transformer for St. Vincent? No, I'm just going to show your screen. Well, you should also show off the camo, because you love that camo. I can, I can. It's pretty! Look at the jets, man.

01:39:40 It's cool. And then you have Starscream up at the front. I do love me some jets. It's a very proud Decepticon Starscream. Very proud, and yet not at all courageous. I don't know very much about the Transformers lore, to be honest. Proudly proud, Sir Starscream. He proudly flew away. Well, show your camo, because it's beautiful. Okay, fine. So not Transformers related, but this was the Worship Master's St. Vincent skin.

01:40:08 Is it Viscount or Viscount? I think it's Viscount. Viscount of Victory. Inspired by a sailing ship of the line, the cannon ports actually open and fire in port, which is super cool. If I recall, that was a camo that you may have had a hand in a little bit. Yeah, it kind of suggested the design inspiration for it. So super happy with how it came out.

01:40:30 Ja. Und fun fact, mit dem Camo ist, du kannst die meisten britische Flags auf der ganzen Welt haben. Wie viele kannst du haben? Ich habe das gleiche an. Es ist eine an der bowen, eine an der stern. Ich denke, es ist sechs. Du kannst den Cunningham-Commander als auch. Du bist mit den Bad Guys, nicht mit den Autobots. No zu Desconse. Desconse ist... Sorry, man. Es hat Jett.

01:40:57 What can you say? I think the first time I flew this camo, or around that time, it was around October. It was around Halloween or something. So I did editing that I think turned out pretty okay, but I took Rick Hunter from Robotech and put my face there. So that was my costume, whatever. And I just put the picture on my stream. And I was flying around jets. People were like, what is this? What is this? It's a clean skin. You want that skin. It might be coming back this year. Yeah.

01:41:28 And if you want some jets on your Richtofen, you can pick that up in the Armory right now, I think. You can. So Transformer stuff is available now, but I don't think it's available for much longer. I think it's going away soon. Yeah, so if you are interested in some Transformer stuff, we have typically, and I mean repeatedly, gotten questions. Hey, when can we get more collection pieces? Hey, when are the Transformer stuff coming back? Hey, when are, like, Transformers is a thing that gets brought up over and over again, so.

01:41:57 I'm just mentioning now, it's a thing. So it's not going to be a thing in too much longer. Please, if you are interested in some Transformer stuff, check it out and get on it while you can. 15th of May, Transformer stuff ends. That it does. Third Box says, is there lane stuff coming soon? That's also true. Soon, TM. So.

01:42:23 Pick your poison. Oh my goodness. Couldn't see. We don't have a lot of people going north, so we might have to try to roll over this flank if we can. Just got here. Anything with coal coming out? Got 2 mil. Nothing to spend it on. We might be doing something in the near future. I don't believe we've announced anything today on it. So we might have to wait a little bit longer.

01:42:51 Bogsy's return is going to be him popping out of an ale box. He should be starring in the update video, which should be coming out pretty soon. Keep your eyes peeled. G.I. Joe collab would be slick. I think Bogsy hits a pretty nice pose in the update video.

01:43:07 Not sure if you've seen the preview. I think I saw a picture. He is still Bogsy. Might be dadsy now, but he's still Bogsy. It's funny, the first time my mother ever saw Bogsy was when he was wearing a bikini on the charity stream. Meet my new friend. Oh.

01:43:30 Jörsville ist just behind the island. Can't shoot him. He's a coworker and it's for charity. Can he spot the Jörsville again? No. I was gonna dev strike him. So sad. Oh, there he is. There he is. He shot. Get him. No, he's turning and slowing down. No, you can't just turn and slow down. One over from that. Very sad.

01:43:52 Why am I bombing a Vergonne? Das ist ein Waste of time. Got one sit on the Yorsville. It's a little isolated, I guess, but... The French... The Citadel is pretty hard to write. Well, no, we did. There's a Citadel in there. The German AP bombs are capable of ripping through. It's just that the accuracy is rough, so...

01:44:17 Bricktofen war ein fairer Amt mehr genauer, und es war ein Terror. Es ist ja, es ist ja genauer als Parzival ist. Parzival ist noch genauer, aber... Ich denke, die Bombs haben ein bisschen weniger Penetration Power. Ja, nicht sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr. Also, ich würde einfach mal auf die One-Line gehen. Oder eigentlich, wenn es nur die Massachusetts-Borgonen-Yars-Weld hier ist, ich würde einfach... Ich würde einfach mal senden es.

01:44:44 Ja, ich denke, ich werde einfach nur senden es. Vielleicht nicht, die Montaner ist rotatig. Ich denke, ich kann viel von einem guter Bite aus von Michelangelo mit AP Rockets.

01:44:58 Probably not, I mean, not too many great options. I mean, the Buffalo and the Smolensk probably are the two cruisers that you can really hit. So did you devstrike Yarsville? No, I only 50%ed him. Only one Citadel. How dare you. Only one. Are you even trying? I think he probably got behind a rock before you were really able to take a shot, so. It is what it is.

01:45:23 Well Smolenz could be a good target, I don't... No Smolenz is gone, that's nice. Ugumotorps? Absolutely smashed by the Ugumotorps. Yah. Darly. That's comfortable. I think I'm gonna drop another fighter here in mid. I really... One of the things I genuinely like the German CVs for is their speed. And with speed you can claim map space. I mean the planes go very fast. Yeah. Has jets for a reason.

01:45:52 The Montana and the Borgon are those spamming HE at me. Am I getting devstruck here? I don't think I can double drop that. Borgon's AA is not super spicy, so we can probably go ahead and strike this. It does have reasonable midrange AA, I think. Here we go, we got him.

01:46:19 You have the Monty, he spams H-E-M-E again. I do want to get behind a rock. Okay, he did. This is going to be the last of my torps, though. Ooh, got one Citadel on the Montana. One hit, one Citadel. Love to see it. Be fine.

01:46:38 Monty's getting chonked. Yeah, Monty's getting chonked. I think I actually got a... I need to bail off of this. We're not in a win C. C is... Yeah, C is a delaying action where we can hopefully clean up a little bit over here. Are these camos really jet fighters? It's camos. These are... I mean, they still have all the same performance characteristics of the normal ship. Just cosmetic. It just looks purter.

01:47:01 Looks pretty. Will everyone see the Jet Fighters or just the player with the skin? Everybody will see it as long as they have the content turned on. If you're not a fan of Transformers or the other non-historical stuff, then you can turn that off in the port. Yeah, it is possible for you to disable Azure Lane stuff or shiny anime stuff or Transformer stuff if you want. Yep, but everybody who has the content enabled will see it.

01:47:25 Then I would say almost everybody just has it. Yeah, I mean most people don't go through the effort of turning it off. Some people do really care and that's perfectly fine. That's why the option is there. We get two?

01:47:40 Bounce off the wall. Montana goes down. I'm going to start spamming HE at him. In case you want to HE bomb him. Can you disable the silly kill effects? I believe you can. You can turn off all the destruction effects if you so desire. You do not have to have any of them.

01:48:01 He got one fire on him. He did DCP if you want to set a fire with your AP bombs. Oh yeah, there we go. Just letting you know. If I break one of his secondaries, maybe it'll light a fire.

01:48:17 The bombs have to land basically in the center of the ship to be able to citadel, and it's just no. I did just light a permafire on him, so I think he will burn out here, especially if I get one more shot. I could probably citadel this buffalo though, if I could get a good piece of that. Sitting on top of a bunch of other ships though, so... Kind of spicy. May have to just keep falling back here instead of taking... Pretty even match so far.

01:48:48 I may actually just have to work the Michelangelo because he's threatening the flank. Yeah. I'm going to see if I can start getting guns that way. Although I think the Illman might start coming to work on me pretty soon here. So I might have to turn away.

01:49:02 Ergona ist still burning. Ich denke, er war ein Heel, so er hat sich nicht zu helfen. Oh, Michelangelo hat 1,000 Heel. Was the hell? Ja, ich habe ihn. Ich habe ihn hier, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

01:49:27 Is this PC? Yes, we are playing the PC version of World of Warships. The console is World of Warships Legends. Come on, give it to me. It's a little high. Nice set. Shot off as well on the buffalo. We'll see if it does anything. I think I keep trying to work the buffalo here. Oh, the Borgona actually didn't go down. That's kind of surprising. I'd like to do something like that. I overturned because I was focusing too much on autopilot.

01:49:57 Damn it. No. I'm going to go ahead and use my DCP here. Something like that. Alright, if I can get a better hit on the Buffalo. That could be pretty chunky. I did get a Citadel on him. He's very close to dead. He's like 2k HP. Oh, well then I should be able to handle that. I mean, Buffalo will be able to have a heal. He's probably already used one though.

01:50:22 Bismarck ist die neue Fokus-Target, aber ich weiß nicht, dass viele Leute auf die Schocken können. Das ist ein Rangmod-Buffalo, du hast mich von 19 Kilometer entfernt. Das ist sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.

01:50:48 Just need to aim lower. There we go. That's what I'm looking for. Doesn't matter though. It was too low and he swung out of it, so it was a good move by him.

01:50:57 He was shooting me till the end. Wixitron says, Destruction of X, I wish we could turn them off. You can. And he says he just has them all off. You certainly can just disable them if they're not your thing. There you go. Spoken from a Destruction Effect Disliker themselves, they have been able to handle the situation.

01:51:27 Okay, so Vincent is chasing the Immelmen, he's buried behind the island. The key is now the new sacrificial lamb. Seems like we're able to clean up their team pretty easily here as they're pushing in. While the key is turning broadside. Citadels?

01:51:42 Nope. Two pens. Anything? Yeah, I got one. Why does Asconce get the Citadels? Where are my Citadels? I want Citadels. I do actually like using German CVs for like Citadel missions. There are two ways that I farm Citadels for like combat missions. One is German CV. And then the other one might be a little better. Nah. I just can't hit a Citadels. It's so sad. The dispersion on the NBR is...

01:52:11 Das ist ein Kiel. Das ist ein Kiel? Das ist ein Kiel. Und ich kann den Valparaiso, oder sorry, den Immelmann mit Fighters. Wir können kind of Gate-Keep this dude. Das ist eigentlich, ich denke, ich will. Wir sind in eine ziemlich comfortable Position an diesem Punkt, so warum ich... Wenn ist King of the Sea Torment dieses Jahr? Es wird kommen später dieses Fall. Ich glaube, es war eine Roadmap-Artikel in Late Februar, wenn ihr wollt.

01:52:40 Sail them on co-op for Citadels. What I actually like for Citadels is the Venezia. Because the Venezia you can load AP and basically you get right about where the bots start engaging you and you just pop your smoke. Sail right to the side of them. Bop! 15 Citadels. Or 10 or something. And by then the co-op might be over or maybe you get a few more Citadels on the way out. But it's just like poof. Pretty reliable. Poof. 15. It's pretty comfortable in that way.

01:53:10 Oh, das ist ein guter Flying. Am I eating a full load of... Ja, das ist ein paar Bombs. Prinz von Arranja hat ein ganzes Hairstrikes. Du kannst du viel aus, dass du. Ich kann mich nicht so gut aus, dass du. Ich kann mich nicht so gut aus. Ich kann mich nicht so gut aus. Ich kann mich nicht so gut aus. Ich kann mich nicht so gut aus. Ich kann mich nicht so gut aus.

01:53:37 Am I getting devstruck by the Voron? I might be. Oh. Oh, the Imbleman is, like, way out there. Oh, actually. Hard bailed. Yeah, I think they're in hard, uh, kiting damage farming mode here. Okay. I mean, understandable. Oh, I might be running it down here. Oh, nice. Finish off there on you. Live!

01:53:57 Ja, ich denke, ich bin okay, weil die Houten ist in front of mich, also es ist ziemlich awkward für die CV zu streiten. Als ich nicht so einen Broadslag zu den Borgern bin, ich bin okay. Was sind die anderen Gruppen, die Sie spielen für Citadel und Whites? Beside German CVs oder just Venezia? Ich meine, wenn du einfach nur ich spielst, ich bin speziell für eine bestimmte Sache. Ich meine, du wählst etwas, dass du wirklich gut bist, was du willst. In welchen Fall, ja, es ist German CVs oder Venezia.

01:54:27 Often times you just play the game and, you know, you do damage and get citadels and win games. It will come naturally. Yeah, so you just... All the stuff happens on its own by just playing the game, so there's nothing wrong with, uh... Oh, my engine is broken. It's over.

01:54:44 Oh, your interceptors did latch. So he has to recall. Very nice. If they didn't shoot, they'll still be stuck around. And he has to fly over a Howden Leo to get to you. My engine is broken. Quite sad. They didn't latch, so it's going to keep blocking them. Anything? Why jets? It's the Transformers skin. Yeah, man. Starscream's a jet. Okay. It's cool. I don't got to explain.

01:55:16 Oh, I'm definitely not getting a shot on this guy before the match ends. It's very sad. And Top Gun was amazing. It had jets in it, so... It's okay. Yeah, because Starscream, that's why.

01:55:30 Heinen Island, so pesky. So pesky. Well, I think the Utrecht is probably going to be taking this out. And I don't think I'm going to last much longer to be able to drop here. Nah. And squish. So it lasted a little while before it broke apart. Oh well. Starscream was always crying to Megatron. Yeah, he was the tough guy that would always fold.

01:55:59 Alright, come on, just poke out of the island just a little bit. I want a second kill.

01:56:05 I might be able to get there in time. Yeah, you're not dead. You were so convinced. I did survive, I did survive. So convinced. Well, the Borgon might have done more damage and finished me, but our Howden landed three airstrikes on him and deleted him from 30k HP to zero. Why doesn't your Kerfurst transform into a tank when you have Megatron in it? Well, Megatron was often also a large gun. And Kerfurst has several large guns, so I mean, you do have that going for you. Several. I might be able to snake this kill.

01:56:33 Ja, Starscream war ein sehr annoyinger Charakter. Das ist wahr.

Verfügbarkeit von Transformers Inhalten und Golden Month

01:56:54

01:56:54 I got a 1. Oh, you did? Yeah. Oh, that's right. I think maybe if I had gotten more of the Richtofen, I would have gotten an E. I'm sorry, man. But anyway, they're pretty. So in the Armory, you can... Actually, let me go back to your screen. So in the Armory, you can still check out some Transformers, but it ends in six days.

01:57:16 You can pick up some Transformers, the movie ones, just for some credits. There's obviously some premium containers as well. And then there are big boondles. Big boondles that you can pick up if there are specific ships that you're looking for. It might be in the boondle, or there's the big boondle, the biggest boondle. And also, Golden Month is still around. If you want to check out, I think, some ZF-6 or Sezuya action. We did play that a little bit earlier, but it is not long for this world and Soviet submarines.

01:57:44 This does still exist, but Soviet submarines will join the tech tree pretty soon when 14.4 is coming out. So you'll be able to research them like normal in just a few days. But I will say, if you want some Konolov and Komradin, which does have Komrad Bogsikov, you may recognize the likeness. There's Evan and Komrad Bogsikov. Then you probably want to pick this up for it. And there is also Lord Kavan.

01:58:13 Cavendish Wellington I, which he even has like a fifth name in there. Monty Cavendish Wellington something else. It's like Lord Montgomery Cavendish Wellington. Oh yeah, it's massive. This is Killerbin. So if you want Captain Killerbin, he's hanging out with the seal. I think he was also in like an Admiral pack as well. And I mean, hopefully all good things should come back again, but they'll be on their way. Oh, he's flying around. He turns into a jet.

01:58:40 I mean, it's nice. You're telling me that Transformers transform? I can still like it.

01:58:49 Show the bin, Commander 2. Well, it's a little late. We only have about two or three minutes left. So we're going to be sending a raid over to John the Ruthless, who is a terrifying cruiser player. Very, very strong player. One of the best in the game, I would say. He's pretty capable. I think we're going to go check out the car first. There we go. We have a Megatron, who again, could turn into a really big gun, standing next to some really big guns. In fact, the guns might be bigger than him. Actually, yes, I think they are.

01:59:19 Important question, do you have the 420s? Um... Mike, back to... Yes, I do. Big gun. I know a lot of people endlessly debate whether or not you should use the bigger guns or the smaller guns.

01:59:34 I've always enjoyed the bigger guns. I mean, technically you have more DPM with the smaller guns, but unless you're shooting on cooldown, that doesn't really matter. There was someone that said when they were playing... Hey, you can hear you've got some play to go on. For the FTG, Patrick de Grosse, that they tested, you know, they played...

01:59:59 A bunch of games with the basic guns, and they played a bunch of games with the bigger guns, and they found that they consistently did 10k more with the bigger guns. Perhaps just because of how they played, whatever. I mean, I think with battleships it's always a little bit more important to have alpha strike versus reload. I mean, if you're shooting off reload all the time, then you will get more benefit out of the DPM, but I find battleships tend to spend a little bit more time holding their shots for the better angle, or so on and so forth. I think the worst thing about having bigger guns is...

02:00:27 It is harder to arm the fuse. And as long as you're hitting enough metal that you're going to be able to arm the fuse so you could possibly get a pen, then you're good. In which case, having enough pen to make sure you pen for the win. But otherwise, yeah. Alright, any last questions before we send it off here? We got a little bit under a minute? Drop the dev block link, please! It's actually going to be dropping in probably about a minute. So, it will be soon. Soon TM, very soon TM.

02:00:55 Yep, it'll be on the blog.worldofwarships.com portal. You can find it there as per usual. 73% Twitch drop. Can you stay for another 40 minutes? We cannot. Not happening. There will be more streams tomorrow. I think there's actually a special like Admiral thing with Killer Bin and other historical people. Admiral something at Armchair Admirals. Is that it? I think so. And I believe it actually has...

02:01:22 It's going for a while. Yeah, Armchair Admirals, The Naval War in Europe. It's a VE Day special. So I believe it starts actually an hour early and goes for a little while. So you should absolutely be able to finish your drop checking that out, which is really cool. All right, well, it's 7. It's time for us to turn into a pumpkin and roll out. Yep, we'll be back next week for another community stream, maybe with the Bogsy on stream. Who knows? Who knows? It might be Bogsy's return. Until then, we hope you guys have a wonderful week, and we'll see you all next time.

02:01:51 Bye. Where the heck is the office?
