World of Warships

00:00:00

00:15:59 Hello, everybody. Welcome to this week's weekly stream. We have a whole bunch of hellos in the chat. We have a hello from Belgium, hello from Ukraine, hello from Germany, hello from, I think, Washington State. Saw Colorado earlier. Ontario, Canada.

00:16:15 Manitoba, Canada. There's all kinds of hellos. Hello, everybody. We're hanging out in Austin. And I am in a Transformer skin. What's going on right now? What's going on? There's a Transformer sale. So if you didn't have a chance... Oh my goodness, I'm going to hit the sub. No! Why'd you cut me off, bruh? If you need to finish off your Transformers collection, that was a wonderful opportunity. Clunk. There we go. Clunked his... Maybe I broke his periscope.

00:16:45 At least you can submerge, you can go over him instead of both of you just being stuck on each other. Yep. That's nice. So, hey, Profet here from Valparison, Chile. Yes, we will actually be raiding El Profet de Historia. He was a stream host with me, I don't know, about a month ago, basically. He was the first of three, and he Englished all stream. I do believe he often streams in Spanish, but he is very fluent in English.

00:17:14 So, we will, everybody will have a chance to hang out with him after the match. Well, after the stream. I don't think I want to charge here, because then it would just be me and a Yu Yang. Yeah, I'm going to move my way a little bit wider down the 9-10 line here, and then I'll be a little bit closer to help you out.

Transformers Resale und Raid Ankündigung

00:17:34

00:17:34 What about Transformers? Geben over it, explain. Yeah, we currently have an ongoing resale for the Transformers stuff back in the Armory. Basically all the same stuff as the last time it was around, and after this match we can show off all the stuff in detail. I am detected, but I don't know by what. I'm guessing it would be maybe the U4501. Yeah, could be. There we go, we have Hoffman.

00:18:01 Ich denke ich... Ja, ich habe einen Schull auf ihn hier. Ich kann ihn jetzt nicht schützen. Oh ja, Hoffmann hat Hydro. Das ist richtig. So, ich werde jetzt ein paar Mal machen. Run, run away. Das ist okay. Sub hat ihn schon durch. Wir werden wahrscheinlich ein paar Healtungen hier verlieren. Und er hat nicht...

00:18:28 I gotta swing later than that. Maybe the broken red door will help. Ouch. Clunk? Yeah. Hoffmans are scary. They are indeed. Hopefully I don't get one shot by the Thunderer here. Oh, he's not shooting me again.

00:18:48 No smoke cool stuff for me. A month ago, yes. I English good. There's been a fairly common concern that I've noted from folks that are not native English speakers. Like, I don't know if my English is very good. I'm just not sure. Usually they have better English than native speakers. Some of the best English speakers I've ever met were from non-native English speaking countries.

00:19:16 Y'all learned how to do it better than we ever did. That's the way it goes. Hello to the Philippines. Just got one of my torpedo tubes permaid. Live! Well, I have three more smokes, although it's a long time before you'll see one. I can't contest the Hoffman with no health and not a gun build.

00:19:43 He's kind of low, too. Consider this positive feedback, i.e., the unbreakable line. It feels very instant action-y. Well, that's good. That's definitely, I would say, the intention behind it. It's meant to be a very brawly game mode and quick action. I think the match duration is only 15 minutes maximum compared to 20 in randoms. That's actually pretty cool. The Hoffman has really got the crap kicked out of him, too. So at least there was a trade there. I did get a 7k damage salvo on him in the first face check there.

00:20:12 Although here I'm going to lose even more health trying to use my floaty shells. You picked gearing and you hate floaty shells. Well, it had a cool camo. Actually, there was a point where I think I was going through the USDD line and working on stat metrics and stuff, so I got used to the floaty shells where I could reliably hit out to 9-11 seconds or so, but it is still a lot.

00:20:41 It's not a small amount of shell float. I would like to take out the sub, though, if I had an idea where he was. If the Hoffman gets run off, it'd be cool. It's always so satisfying to depth charge a sub. Oh, yeah. Just walk right over it. Press G to oof.

00:20:59 All right, I am getting spotted, so it's either the Hoffman in the middle or the sub, not sure which. Oh, might get one shot by the Thunderer here. Where do you think you're being spotted from? I can investigate. Yeah, it's the Hoffman there. It is? Oh, dude, he's got no health. Yeah, the Shima might keep him lit here. He's smoking, going backwards. I might get him on my reload with the Blindfire. We'll see.

00:21:21 Maybe, maybe not. Well, I threw some torps. He's angled to where they're probably not going to matter, but I don't think I have much of a torp angle on anything else. Oh, I hit him with one shell. Get him. Oh, he's got to be solo. I want the sub. Evening, gents. Hello. Oh, God, thunder hurts.

00:21:48 We elaborate on the amount of ships per nation per team. I'm going to drop a smoke for you. I'm going to drop a smoke and try to connect it to this island. Sure. I can turn down, get in the smoke, and maybe just farm the thunder. Alright, I got a torpid on something. Oh my god, that must have been the sub because it didn't kill. Oh, that's pretty close to you too. Yeah! I have dub charges. Is he in AFK? I don't know, but I'm taking shots. Unfortunately, I'm going to be hard lit here because I am smoked, but...

00:22:16 Okay, cool. Nice. What do you know? I was hoping for it. So I'm not able to link the smoke to the island, unfortunately, but I mean, I'm sure you can make use of it.

00:22:35 It is pretty awesome when you get a Torp into a sub. There's also a Tromp coming, so... Yeah. At least the Hoffman's like probably 500 HP. I have my guns turned for the Tromp in case he is lighting me. Let me see if I can get... Alright, I got the EM spotted again. I'm gonna see if I can get the Thunderer spotted for you.

00:22:59 Oh, that tickled you. Bows it at all. Feels overmatched, man. Are you spotted while in smoke or no? Alright, I'm going to get the Yamato relit.

00:23:13 He's pretty stuck there. He's not very wiggly. Okay, there's a Trump. Oh, I just shot. That's fine. Trump's still there. My secondaries are shooting him. I'm just like, please don't turn on me, Trump. Don't do it. Oh, there we go. Two secondary hits.

00:23:34 Go, little Torps, go! Oh, I just missed him. Oh, hell, I could have done the unique upgrade to have better detection. Oh, yeah, the 5.6km conceal. And that even would have worked with the Transformer stuff. I would have been a shame in disguise. I might eat one Hoffman Torp here. Feels bad.

00:24:00 I shouldn't die, at least. Okay, Trump is unfortunately close enough that I think I am going to get run down and killed here. He's going to swing on the bottom part of this island. I have all my guns turned for him. I appreciate it, in my belief, sir.

00:24:20 But I am trying to bug off before I get hurt. The Yamato is going to end up hardlighting me too, so not a great situation for me to be in either, to be honest. I didn't expect him to just YOLO forward. I wonder if he did that because of the subtorps, maybe? To try to juke them? Possible. How many does he eat? He eats a bunch. That's a lot of torps. Alright. Mr. Puffinator got clunked.

00:24:50 The chomp is airstriking me. Ow. Yamato is about to shoot me. Sorry, somebody in chat. Most people here are here to meet single women in their area. We should start including that on our stream advertisements. Who knows? Maybe it works. Alright, so I don't know where the chomp is, but there's really nothing else close to threaten you. I definitely don't think the chomp is running straight at us now. I think he's moving away.

00:25:18 Well, I popped smoke, and then I realized, oh, the Yamada was almost dead. And then he died. Yep. The thunder has been piecing out. I was trying to help, though. Nice that I was able to fish around and get some tour pits. Yeah.

00:25:40 is the only way to get the Gold Month tokens to buy the Darumas. I think those are tied to real money purchases, so if you are up for picking up some Darumas for some cash or other form of currency, whatever, then yeah, you can get the additional benefit of the Golden Month tokens that you can turn into, I believe it's the...

00:26:08 Sinking the enemy ship, the destruction effects, or possibly some camos and stuff. So you've got some options with that if you want some bonus value. Yep. Or you can just pick them up with... Oh, oh, there's the... Here he is. Yep. I have to get Torps off before I'm dead here. Just on the assumption that something useful might happen with those. It won't, but I mean, I still have to try.

00:26:36 Wait. And I'm throwing AP like a... Well, okay. I mean, they all penned, though. That'll be a kill. Oh, it was close. Yeah, he's very dead. He's very dead anyways. Would he have eaten a Torp? Ha! He would have. So, I shouldn't have shot as much. He would have lived long enough to die to a Torp. Torp is a rather chunky boat. Now, if one of those Torps hits the hull, I'll be very excited with that. It won't happen, but if it did, that would be a fun time. That would be cool.

00:27:06 The two hardest working warship employees in Austin. You two deserve tacos. Maybe I'll get tacos for dinner tonight. Sounds like a pretty good idea.

00:27:19 There are some pretty other hardworking people in the office. There's a question about in ops with flagships, they're little PT speedboats. I think you mean the convoy ships. The convoy stuff on PTS have the little PT speedboats. And those would be super cool for Schnellboot racing. They would, they would. Bopping up and down on the waves, you know, trying to go through a course would be awesome. Just saying.

00:27:48 Just saying. So you're up to... Was that one kill in 120k? Yeah, not a ton. Not a ton, to be honest. Maybe you'll get a one. I don't know if that's enough for an E, but... Definitely not. I honestly didn't really do that much this match other than farming a little bit off the Yamato. Hello from the exotic state of Missouri. Hello. Tacos are always a good idea. The true statement. Last week...

Balancing Matchmaking und CV Test Ergebnisse

00:28:17

00:28:17 Yes, we're discussing what goes into balancing matchmaking. I believe you heard you mention the amount of ships per nation per team is a part of the equation. Can you elaborate on that? If you go onto YouTube, you can look up How It Works Matchmaking World of Warships, and there will be a video which kind of goes more into depth as to what the... That's the last man standing. Yep, we're just chasing him down.

00:28:41 It goes more into depth in how the matchmaker is done, but basically it means, let's see, so on this team we have two Oregon's, that's two U.S. battleships. On the enemy team, they have a Vermont, they have one U.S. battleship. These are not in a division, so you would never have a situation where it would be three U.S. battleships on one side and none on the other.

00:29:06 There would be at least some basic one US battleship here and one or two battleships on the other or something like that. So they'll be within shouting distance of each other. That happens with cruisers and destroyers, whatever. So nation and class, I guess is, you know, ship type is matched. So basically these 24 people are put into a match and then it assesses, hey, is there any swaps that we can make to make it so that...

00:29:34 The nation and type are more close. And if it turns out that you have like a division of three US battleships on one side and there's no US battleships on the other or cruisers or whatever, then well, it is what it is. You're not going to break up a division, but in terms of just general queuing, that's not the case. Yep. All right. Here's our first match of the day. Do we have some stuff to go over after? We can show off maybe...

00:30:01 We have a variety of stuff. So first off, hello. It's good to see you. Welcome. It's 15 minutes past the hour. We're doing our thing. Hopefully you're having a good Wednesday doing your thing. We do have a few things. There are CV test draw results. So basically for those people that helped out with the CV test where they went on to the special server and checked it out.

00:30:25 You got entered into some giveaway possibilities, depending on what you played. If you played CVs, you had a chance of picking up a CV. You played Surface Ships the same, or Surface Ship. And I believe that's over in the news, actually. Yep, it's one of the more recent articles on our website. It is. So we had five winners of a Tier IX Georgia, five winners of a Tier VI Enterprise, and five winners of a Tier VI Kutuzov. So congratulations for that.

00:30:53 As well, there were a bunch of other little goodies and stuff given away for thanking people for helping out. I think you could have earned up to 2,000 doubloons for playing something like 18 battles, I think it was. Some people, they might have not put enough effort into what they played. Some games were filtered out of the equation for that based on activity or base experience and so on and so forth. So if we're running a test...

00:31:21 We're absolutely happy to have more people testing. And testing means playing the game, giving it a fair shake. Alright, so that's test stuff. Then we've got a little more. We have, I think, some tournament stuff. And I would really like to kind of drill down onto this one because we already had one before and another one has come around. That's correct. On April 7th, we ran our first 3v3 tournament. Just a small casual format, quick and easy.

00:31:50 mit einem neuen Steil und Blüe-Booster-Rewards. Und dieses Freitag, wir haben noch eine neue Steil, und diesmal wird es eine 5v5-Format. So, wieder quick und easy, es gibt 7 Rounds für die Nacht, nur nur eine Single-Night. Du kannst auf den Kotz-Discord und die Rewards sind Steil und die neue Destruction-Effekte für die Top-Placing-Teams, als auch Blüe-Boosters für die Spiele, und extra Blüe-Booster-Containers für die Matchen.

00:32:18 So, hope to see some people there for that. Again, just a quick and easy casual format. There's really nothing complicated required for the sign-up. Just got five people together, fill out a form, and you're good to go. So, if you go to the COTS Discord, you'll be able to do all the sign-up stuff. And you don't just sign up by yourself, you sign up a group of people. That is correct. Okay, so you do have to have some friends, or at least...

00:32:41 A range of financial agreement before you decide to hop over to the discord.gg front slash cots. Is that correct? It is correct. Discord server so that you can do the thing. We had one before. It was fun. We're going to have a second one and let us know what you guys think about this because this is fairly new for us. Yep. These first two nights are kind of a concept test of the whole thing based on how it goes. We'll make some changes and then bring out the concept back probably later towards the summer.

00:33:09 We'll see how it goes then. You know what we need? We need to cast some of those. Might be fun. Might be fun. Not too much focus on streaming the matches for the pilot, just because it is kind of a concept run for the format itself. Let's see if we have the curve first here. Get some Megatron action going. My favorite Transformers camo was for the Richtofen, just because of the F-15 planes.

00:33:35 I enjoyed that too. I remember, I think that came out sometime around Halloween maybe. I used to like Robotech as an anime when I was a kid. I got introduced to it by somebody who was really passionate about it. Honestly, Season 1 is excellent. Season 3 is also magnifique. Season 2 is a little weird.

Transformers Skins und Unbreakable Line Modus

00:34:03

00:34:03 Ich habe die Rickhunter-Kostume und ich habe, wie ich meine Gesichter habe, wie ich meine Gesichter habe. Das und ich habe mit F-14 mit F-14. Ich habe mich gefragt, was? Sie hat an F-14? Aber es ist einfach so, dass es ein bisschen mehr zu reden ist. Wir werden Unbreakable Line in nur ein Moment kommen, aber wir haben... ...brought back Transformers. So, das ist cool für zwei Reasons. One, weil es Transformers ist. Sie sind cool. Die Animated Skins sind...

00:34:31 Absolutely awesome for most of the ships. They are. So there's a Super Ultimate Packy thing, which is like 50% off if you want to just like... If you just want everything? Yes. Give me all the things. But if you were looking at more specific stuff, there's Bumblebee, Grimlock, Starscream, Soundwave. Starscream was the one that was the carrier. Megatron and Rumble, which if I recall correctly, Rumble is the Kaaba. I like the Kaaba.

00:34:59 I was a fun ship. And then there's Optimus Prime and Hot Rod. So there's a whole bunch of different stuff. They come with cool, as you mentioned, animated skins, as well as commanders that do have individual voices and stuff. So I think that's pretty neat. And it gave us a great excuse to play some gearing and maybe some other ships as well. Get to check it out.

00:35:22 You don't follow the Transformer IP very much. You basically recognize Bumblebee because of yellow. I'm old enough that I saw the cartoon. And I remember as a kid, when I saw the Transformers movie, I don't remember how young I was, but I know I was very young because the opening 15 minutes of action, my mind was blown and I thought like, oh my god, is it already over? When it's just the setup for the movie.

00:35:48 Can you buy containers for the collection? I can double check. Yep, I think there are definitely containers for sale in the Armourine. But the collection, I know there are some folks that when you start a collection, dang it, you want to finish it. Yep, there are container options for doubloons in there. Yes, element of the Transformers thingamajig. And let's see if there are any combat missions, because sometimes you can earn...

00:36:15 ...earn some stuff. Looks like there are. Yeah, so you can get some containers as well. Get some credits, blow up some ships, do some damage, get some sits, win some battles. You can get, looks like, 12 actually. So, yep, that should be good stuff for helping you out with you, if you have a few holes in your collection.

00:36:39 We like to see a GK skin which transforms into Game of Thrones. A Throne of Swordship.

00:36:48 You know, like the Iron Throne superstructure would be a pretty cool look, but who knows. Problem with the modern movies is all the fights look the same, so you can't really tell what's happening. Yeah, you get a little bit of shaky cam craziness, I think. Alright, so let's talk about Unbreakable Line. I think we actually have a video. We can maybe hop to the video, give a little primer, and then we can check it out in game. I think the video is about two minutes, so we'll see you shortly.

00:37:20 Captain's, the time has come for fallen heroes to rise anew. Step up to the challenge where sunken ships reemerge from the depths of the sea to fight anew. World of Warships presents the new temporary battle type Unbreakable Line.

00:37:40 Captains commanding Tier VI and IX cruisers, battleships, and destroyers with divisions of up to four players can now enter battles featuring a game-changing mechanic. Respawning. Return after every fall and dominate the seas like never before. There's no limit on the number of times ships can respawn, keeping you in the fight until the final moment. Battles will be fought on smaller maps and will last shorter than random battles.

00:38:06 Sinking all enemy ships doesn't guarantee victory. You must reach 1000 points or have more points than the enemy when time runs out. Destroying enemy ships earns points as usual, but your team won't lose points if your or allied ship is sunk.

00:38:22 Going down? No worries. After a short time, sunken ships will respawn just outside the map, ensuring you're never out of the fight for long. Respawning grants temporary bonuses to speed, acceleration, maneuverability, concealment, so you can dive right back into the action with renewed ferocity. All armaments instantly reload upon respawning, except for torpedoes, which only reload if all tubes were loaded at the time you were sunk, and your combat instruction progress stays intact.

00:38:50 However, consumable charges aren't refreshed, so use them wisely. Unique Commander Talents aren't active in Unbreakable Line Battles, and the economy functions in a similar way to Random Battles. The Unbreakable Line is not made of ships, it is made of those who refuse to fall. Captains, do you have the determination to take on the challenge of Unbreakable Line and carve your name into Naval Legend? The battle awaits! Catch you on the high seas!

Gameplay im Unbreakable Line Modus

00:39:28

00:39:28 Alright, it looks like I was looking to fit out the FDG because we're going to check out some Unbreakable line here. That's Tier 8 and Tier 9. No Tier 10, so sad. It's a disaster for me. No! Um, how low can you go? Alright, so... We can go to Tier 9. You're going to play Valparaiso? I am. Which, honestly, is probably tailor-made for this game. Yeah, I mean, the thing with this mode is the maps are a little bit smaller. The action is concentrated into just like a couple of keycaps.

00:39:57 Und die matchen sind sehr kurz und brawlich. So, wenn man einfach mit Secondarien ist, die Battleships sind fantastisch. Und ich denke, Valkorizo's Tankiness wird wahrscheinlich ein bisschen...

00:40:09 Good thing for the mode. Although, one thing to consider is that you don't get more consumables when you respawn. So, maybe it'll be a case of me using all eight heals and then dying and not having any more heals. Wait, really? You don't? No. Oh. Ooh. That's pretty scary. So, maybe something with a bit more natural tankiness, like maybe the Soyuz might be a better pick. Not sure. Huh. Well, that's definitely a thing to consider. I'm going to play...

00:40:39 Some Alaska. That's probably a pretty good pick for it. Radar for the Destroyer is pretty tanky.

00:40:47 Good guns. Let me see. Whoa, these skills are all over the place. What is this? Alright. Can't see game screen? We have not entered the match yet. I will switch it over once we get into a match. Sconce is finishing up setting up his ship. Yeah. And we'll get into it. Hang it out. Slapping some skills on a commander.

00:41:14 Dude in the Dew. Is this the last could be? It is. And do you know, there are no CVs or subs in this mode? Yep. Okay, well then I won't have to worry about Defensive Fire. Yep, it is, like I said, basically all about the brawling. CVs and subs are not well known for brawling. Alright, I think I've done the thing. Let's go forth and pew.

00:41:43 21 Battleships in Q, no surprise. No surprise there. So in this mode, you do not actually lose points for sinking. You may lose board position. But you can get it there and you can throw down. This is the brawliest of brawls that ever done brawled. And if you go in and you fight, you sink, you can repeat. You will be able to pop on back in.

00:42:06 ...und keep the fight alive. So super important to try to get those caps. It's a great way to get points. So you'll see that the two caps do overlap. They're very central in the map. The map is pretty small. So are the teams. And you'll see with the points here that you only get points for destroying enemies. You don't lose any points when an ally sinks, which means that you aren't going to zero out. So I think the key to this mode is like Ascon said, you want to get in there, get control of the caps. And then the team that gets the point advantage and holds the cap is...

00:42:34 So there is a question, which is, what are the rewards for the mode? It's similar to random battles. You'll notice the match time is set to about 12 minutes, so the matches are much shorter than randoms. But in terms of income per time spent, you'll probably earn roughly the same as you would playing randoms. So the matches are short and sweet.

00:43:02 I think in general you'll probably earn about 1300 basic speed for a win. Although I'll have to see after we finish this one. And matches usually last around I would say like 8 to 10 minutes for Unbreakable Line. So there's a thing in chat. In Unbreakable Line the first time you sync you get a good try screen and you can't make it go away. So that screen is like... We used to have a mode called Key Battle.

00:43:31 Since then, there's a mod, which I think is Team Health Bars. Team HP Plus is one of the few mods that actually modifies the end screen. It will run into UI issues sometimes, especially in conflict with other mods. If you're getting that screen, it's a mod causing it. As far as I'm aware, the fix is just to remove the mod. Yep. It's only ever really occurred in event modes.

00:44:00 So in general, it doesn't seem to rear much of its head and be an issue, but it is a mod-related thing. Oh, the Ager's already going down. Oh yeah. I think I'm gonna run at the Donskoy Hero, or all these battleships. Getting caught.

00:44:25 I got hurt, but you got hurt. Oh, there's Sejong behind the island here, lighting me on fire. So one thing that's super important to remember about this mode is your guns and stuff will come in reloaded, I think, but the torpedoes will not. So you don't just get to show up, dump a bunch of torps, die, show up, dump a bunch of torps. As awesome as that would be.

00:44:54 Ja, du kannst du quite embrace, du kannst du quite become die Yoloist of Ebelios, ever. Aber ich meine, wenn du wirklich sehr großartig hast, kannst du... ...schüt'em und so. I am getting farns.

00:45:15 Es ist sehr wunderschön für diese Cruisers zu beherrschen, stattdessen zu beherrschen, stattdessen zu beherrschen, stattdessen zu beherrschen. Ja, wenn du deine Konsumables hast, dann wird es eine schwierige Zeit für dich. Ich bin die Konsumables zurückgegangen, aber ich bin in fronten von ein paar Ships. Und die Monarch weiß, wie es zu loader AP ist. Oh, ich werde die. Heel! Oh, ich habe noch eine Heel.

00:45:47 Gonna go for Sejong hier. Und get the ram? Not gonna ram, not gonna ram. Oh, oh, I should have not used the heal there. Oh, return to battle. Let's go watch Wisconsin. Well, no, but people can see what it looks like for you to come back. Alright, alright. Back we go. Yeah. Get in there.

00:46:12 Alright, so you'll see we have a limited time buff here. Buffs your detection and gives you a massive speed and maneuverability buff so you can get right back into the action.

00:46:24 So you don't get your consumables back? Nope. It is correct. So that's why I was thinking maybe something like a Soyuz or some other tankier secondary battleship might actually be a better pick than Valparaiso. Just because once you do run out of the heals, the ship is not tanky.

00:46:51 Well, that's super good to know. Like, I was initially thinking, holy crap, like... Yeah, if you got seven heals on the Valkyrie, so every time you respawned, it would definitely be a little bit much. God, dear. Not the case, not the case. Okay, well, at least we got that. It's a little less scary.

00:47:11 Das ist alles klar, das ist klar. So, ja, vielleicht die Limited DCPs sind nicht die beste Wahl. Es sieht aus, dass die Enemies vielleicht vielleicht flipen die cap hier, das ist nicht gut. Ja, die Problem ist mit dem IOWA, wir können nicht sehen.

00:47:34 So I decided to take a really wide position just to see if I could apply some pressure. So far it's better work. The spot that Sejong took was actually pretty good, I think, because he can shoot over the low islands there pretty effectively.

00:47:49 Alright, we got their destroyer again, but he will be back soon. I think I'm just gonna walk it into B here. Maybe see if I can reset the Iowa. I mean, yeah. If they don't get hard resets on you, you might be able to take the cap. That'd certainly be good. Oh, there are a lot of ships over there now. So maybe I just stay here.

00:48:17 I mean, you're kind of sneaky in the Valfari, so if you just try to... Oh, I don't have Concealment module, because I have the meme Ship Concealment mod build. Alright, well, they definitely took it. Sad days. Yep. They'll start racking up points pretty quickly. Unless somebody shoots at me in 5 seconds, they'll get this one, though.

00:48:41 So, at least we have a cap as well. Little sad my secondaries can't shoot over the rock here. Oh, there's a Sejong in front of me. There's a smoke, how broken is that consumable? All DCP'd.

00:48:59 I'm being held lit by something. I think maybe the Monarch over the rock. Really nice if I could at least take this FTG out. I think I will. There we go. Nicely done. Yeah, I'm just... I took this really wide position to try to like make it hard to just YOLO.

00:49:21 Looks like the Iowa wants to run it here, so I think I'll just reverse and look for him instead of walking straight into the Sejong. Sejong does not like me? Yes. He was farming the crap out of me.

00:49:37 No CVs in this mode, that is true, yep. Brawly ships only. Though it's debatable how much destroyers are Brawly ships, but... Yeah, this is the Brawliest mode that ever done Brawl, so... If you were hankering for a get in there and blow some stuff up, I mean, I know I'm not personally doing it, but... It is... This is the mode for you.

00:50:02 I'd say it's a brawly mode as I hide behind a rock. Well, you already, you know. You already got in there. We do have improved AP angles, so I might be able to get a cheeky shot here on the Iowa. Some pens. I'm going to keep my secondaries focused on the Ager, actually, because the Iowa already has some fires burning on them. Try to not walk forwards into the 1 million torpedoes from the Sejong. I might be showing a little bit too much side here.

00:50:32 Seems alright. Sejong is enjoying very much farming me for a million damage. DCP key again. Still a little bit worried about Torps, but... I mean, we did see a set pass, so it might be fine. Might be fine to run it. If I can get close enough to the rock, then he can't shoot me anymore, so...

00:51:00 Ja, ich denke, es ist ein eher Battleship-focusedes Modell, für sicher. Du kannst Dinge, die nicht in den Fall sind, und nicht die für eine Zeit. Du kannst 1-for-1 mit Magdor 25x aufgleichen. Das ist doch sehr komisch. Oder vielleicht Apolo Emilio könnte ein Spaß für dieses Modell? Wenn ich das nächste Mal probiere.

00:51:31 1-for-1 off cooldown. Oh, ich sollte mich für den Donskoi halten. Wir sind auf, aber wir sind zu halten. Ja, ich stehe auf A hier und versuche das auch.

00:51:48 Ich muss noch ein Heel hier aus. Ich denke, dass ich nicht meine letzte Heel hier benutze. Ich muss nur noch ein Heel benutzen. Ich muss noch ein Heel benutzen. Ich muss noch ein Heel benutzen. Ich muss noch ein Heel benutzen. Ich muss noch ein Heel benutzen.

00:52:16 I think I'm just gonna ram. We're just gonna do it. If you're able to get the FTG off the field we might be able to cap with the encounter. I think the Sejong is moving into the cap here unfortunately. Alright, we're gonna boop him. Perfect. Boop this newt. Bop. Oh, the match is about to end. Yeah, I probably could just walk past him and try to kill the Sejong then.

00:52:47 Aber ja, wie ich gesagt habe, ich denke, die Team mit der Initial Point Advantage ist ziemlich gut positioniert zu gewinnen in dieser Mode, weil es sehr schnell und schwierig ist, und es ist sehr schwer zu flipen die Capps, wenn sie getrennt sind. So, wir sind irgendwie das Initial... 740-950, es ist nicht so far off. Wir haben auch noch 3 mehr Kills, so... Das ist auch ein Faktor. Ich denke, der Sejong ist schon bald. Ja, Non-Believer, wir haben ihn.

00:53:16 We killed the Freddy there because he also didn't have a ramp lag. Thankfully. Yep, match should end here in just a few more seconds. Unless they can pause the caps. Which doesn't look like they will. I think I shot low. Yep, there he goes. Missouri Musashi can just sit and shoot where you spawn. It's not very brawly. I want to be brawling.

00:53:47 You loving the 45 knots on the battleships? Oh, I imagine. Actually, hold on, let me show off. Actually got a 2.5k basic speed there, so not bad rewards if you can rack up the damage. Yeah, what did you pull? What numbers? 270k damage. Also got a cap, so that might have contributed to the basic speed. Nice. So yeah, I mean, 2.5k base for a nice match in this mode is pretty good.

00:54:14 Und sogar auf der Losing Team, viele Leute über 1k base sind. So ein sehr guter Income, würde ich sagen, für die Zeit spent. So vielleicht wenn du ein paar Tier 7-9s bist, das wäre eine gute Wahl. Und ich denke... Unbreakable Mode also counts für die Dockyard. So wenn du ein paar Missions hast, das könnte auch eine fantastische Wahl sein. Was ist die Achievement? Oh, actually... Ich denke, es ist für die Mode.

00:54:42 Ja, ich denke, es ist für gewinnen, für gewinnen in die Mode 1. Ich habe eine Commemorative Achievement. Und das ist für die Dockyard Missions.

00:54:53 Bite, Sync, Repeat. Well, I'm gonna play again. Yeah, I was gonna ask, any interest in playing more? That was pretty crazy.

00:55:17 Oh, ja, und auch ein guter Punkt von jemandem. Ich bin eigentlich nicht sicher, ob du die In-One-Battle-Mission in Unbreakable Line kannst. Ja, die In-One-Battle-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission. Ja, die In-One-Battle-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission-Mission.

00:55:47 What are you picking this time? I think I'm gonna change this up a little bit. You two frequently think of Bozzy when getting dressed? I mean, who wouldn't? Who wouldn't?

00:56:02 So, I realize, well, maybe I should instead go with Schlieffen line here, but I am going to go with the FDG. Do I have a camo for this? I think it looked like Christmas.

00:56:23 Ja, es ist ein Christmas camo. Ein Christmas camo? Ja, es ist eine gute looking one. I remember ein long time ago, there were zwei Battleship lines, I think, that got to Tier X. I didn't really know the game very well. One was the Montana line, because it's US, American. And the other one was the GK line, which is now the Preussen line. I didn't like the accuracy of the guns. That's pretty rough.

00:56:52 But I liked the shell ballistics. I liked shooting at something and having a reasonable expectation of... Having the flatter arcs is definitely a little bit more satisfying when it comes to gunnery. Yeah. And somebody told me that the FTG has better gun angles when kiting away or when turned away. So you wouldn't necessarily think of, you know, German secondary battleship wants to go in. But you're actually, your power pose is when you're kind of...

00:57:20 Ja, ich denke, die scariest position zu kämpfen ist, wenn sie in secondary range sind, und angelt weg von dir. Das ist definitiv die ideal. Was das bevor der accuracy von German Battleships war? So, way back in 2019 oder so, das ist, wenn ich spiele, uh, Seriously, um, German Battleships went from whatever their specific dispersion pattern was, to a, um,

00:57:50 Ja, so, die, uh...

00:58:19 I remember there was some frustration for the following 2 or 3 months where people were like, how the hell did a GK snipe me when they were in a cruiser at 25 clicks? And it performed better than it used to, but I would still not classify battleship accuracy as... And the difference between those two dispersion curves is also not massive.

Modifikationen und UI Probleme

00:58:44

00:58:44 It is better, but not hugely noticeably better. Does anyone know how to clear the Good Try screen? H doesn't work. You need to uninstall a mod which gives the team health bars. It is, I believe, called the Team HP Plus Mod. Yeah. It's currently the mod causing that issue. So, unfortunately, mods are not made by us. They're not part of the base client. They're made by very passionate folks that want to do cool stuff for the game, and that's super awesome.

00:59:12 But sometimes there's going to be some compatibility weirdness, because again, the game is not actually built that way. Yep. We do have something called the Mod Station, where we help people to be able to have those mods and install them, but it doesn't mean that we make it, it just means that we have kind of a thing that helps you install them instead. Yep.

00:59:38 Yep, usually UI issues often times are caused by mods like that. Oh, can I get off the rock? This is a disaster. Whoops. Gotta do some reversing. I was hoping to hit the island here so that the Kitakaze and Akizuki can't farm me. Seems like they're more interested in the Freddy for now, thankfully.

01:00:06 Let's see if we can get the Duncan perhaps. Enemy Duncan's almost down. He is using a heal. Might be able to take the A. Might be able to take the rooster over there. Unfortunately, they did take A, which I think might be the harder cap to get just because of the...

01:00:34 Der Duncan ist unten, so ist unser fremde Battleship.

01:00:49 Ja, wir werden uns zu finden, um auf A zu steuern, welches ist nicht möglich. Ja, auf der Moment. Ich meine, wir haben eine Cap, wir haben eine Cap, so... ...at least we've got that going for uns. Ja, aber auf 100 Punkte, wir brauchen 3-Kill, 3-Kill-Advantage zu crossen, so... ...not an tollen Position, aber vielleicht können wir den Merkur. Oh, Lightning ist jetzt um zu gehen.

01:01:19 Nice, nice. Alright, I think I'll push around into the A cap here. See if we can make something happen. Our efficiency badge is bugged. Your profile shows lower than what you earned. Yes, currently it is bugged to show your most recent mastery badge on your profile. We are aware and working to solve that. Our apologies. It's a new cool feature, which means potentially new sad weirdnesses to deal with. Yep.

01:01:53 Kind of wish my battleship had HE. To shoot at these destroyers, but oh well. Technically true.

01:02:08 Can I dodge the Twerps that are definitely coming in? Try slowing down a bit. Surprisingly they haven't lit a fire on me yet. Oh, there it is. Yep, I think he should. I'm pretty sure I get the Akizuki here and maybe the... I can get the Kido too.

01:02:27 Yeah, turning guns for the Pomern right now. Pop the DCP again. Honestly, we'll just use the instructions again here and heal ASAP. Definitely just want to use my heals here and just convert them to HP as much as possible.

01:02:57 der Kap-Points. Bummern ist almost gone. Ja, er ist gone. Wir haben die Konsum-Bulls wieder. Wir müssen die Rochester hier bevor wir unten gehen. Wir wollen immer noch so lange in dieser Kap bleiben. Wir können die Lightning in die Kap kommen und vielleicht in die Kap kommen.

01:03:26 Still waiting for guns to turn. Alright, so I am trying to see if I can brace up B a little bit, because there are the two battleships there, and our split did the job shoving on fire. Oh, five over pens. So sad. Hoping the smoke ends soon.

01:03:51 So we can try to close the point lead. Unfortunately now I don't have anything in secondary range, although I think the Pomeran will oblige shortly. So hopefully we can charge up the combat instructions here soon.

01:04:20 Und ich dachte mir, ob New York hat Torpedos? Und dann habe ich gedacht, ich kann Tab und es hilft, es hilft, es hilft, es hilft. Es ist ein sehr guter Feature. Alright, ich habe einen Heal left. Yikes.

01:04:39 Although not too long left on the match, so... Again, I think just living as long as possible here is pretty important. We do have other friendly ships in the cap now, which is good. So maybe we'll be able to convert it to a cap here. I think... Oh, all of my secondaries on my port side are down. Did not notice that. It's like, huh, why am I not charging my combat instructions?

01:05:03 Okay, we got the cap. It's big. I can die now. It's good that we got the cap because they're already working on the other one. I think I'll actually just go focus on the Duncan now and see if I can stop them from capping it. I got a DD. Oh, I'm going to go down. And got squished. So when you're at Swerp's down, you're working on B. You're actually heading back in, which is awesome.

01:05:30 Oh, kann ich das? Ich habe die Heal-Off, ich habe die DCP. Ich werde nur noch lange leben hier, wenn ich in eine Useful Position bin. All right, und weg wir gehen. Unfortunately, es scheint mir nicht zu sein, dass ich mich noch nicht able to go darken hier bin. Ich bin jetzt endlich zu sterben hier, glaube ich.

01:05:59 I am out of heals. Yep, already popped it. Yeah, well they are working on both caps now, which is not ideal. Hopefully our team can stop them from getting A for a while.

01:06:18 Looks like they're actually in a position to cap both caps. Yeah, that's what's concerning me for sure. Unless the Eugemo gets some really good torps on this Rochester. He did get some nice torps. Maybe if we can finish the Rochester off with guns then it might be in a decent spot. It's pretty spicy. We might be able to get him lit with a Hydro if we get close enough.

01:06:40 Ja, wenn die Akazuki und Kitakaze just chillt, dann sollte er sein können. Weil wir nicht mehr haben, dass sie ihn auskennen. Und... Die Yugemoe solltet ihr den Rochester nehmen. Ja, er ist 1 KM burning. Die Frage ist, ob er ist, ob er? Pomerang geht es um. Rochester ist um, der Merkur ist nicht mehr B, also wenn wir auf die Norden gehen können. Ich denke, wir können noch mehr von der Norden gehen. Die Norden leben?

01:07:11 I think he just got respawned and came back. Well, he started with reduced amount of health. I guess he just made a circle, I don't know. Pretty good salvo on him there.

01:07:38 So the Meriker ist in Cap now. The Yagumo actually did land a Torque on him, so he might be able to finish him off with guns as well. Now we'll need to kill the Nior too since he's getting into the Cap again. Meriker went down.

01:08:05 Almost. I think the last kill here will do it for us. That should be enough points. Fortunately I'm too close for my secondaries to actually do raw damage to get a fire. Pew pew!

01:08:20 Burn, baby burn. Alright, there we go. Alright, well. Yeah, that was a little bit rough. I honestly thought we weren't doing too well there until like the middle of the game where we were able to convert both caps. Well, 1000 to 1850. So again, it was kind of close. I will say the Velper ISO feels uniquely capable in this mode where you can just go in. Yeah, I think being able to just sit in the caps and convert the point lead there is pretty important.

01:08:46 Being able to survive forever and tank 250,000 damage is definitely a big plus. Until I couldn't be killed by the entire team for 5 minutes, the game was going poorly. True statement.

01:09:02 Yeah, I mean, once you run out of heals, it's definitely not great, but I mean, it takes a while to run out of heals, so. Yeah, I mean, it's an event mode, so it's a little temporary thing. Best thing is, when event modes like this come around, so like asymmetric battles, for instance, visits, get your hands on it, make sure to leave feedback. You know, maybe Velpreis is just too damn powerful for the mode. Maybe there's some other ship that we haven't talked about or discussed yet.

01:09:29 Same thing, just, oh, it's crazy. Let us know, because maybe if Unbreakable Line comes back, we can try to make some adjustments or change some things. And in general, too, we do have a ship balance suggestions area in the Discord, where if there's something you feel is a little bit too strong, please head over there and write up your thoughts. We do pass it up and do regular balance passes now, so if something is overperforming, it's definitely something we're happy to have a look at. Ooh. I think I could try Tianjin.

01:09:59 Maybe? I might try playing a Destroyer this time. Okay. Well, if you're going to play Aditi, then I still need something that's going to hold presence. So... Um... Maybe it's time for the F3 Yagumo?

01:10:20 With Torpedo Reload Booster? Just remember that the Torps do not reload. You don't come in reloaded. They don't, but they do reload pretty quick at 80 seconds. I think by the time I get back in, they should be up. You might be able to make more liberal use of your Torp Reload Booster because that might reset when you come back in. So if you Reload Boostered shortly before you got taken out. Actually, that's a good point. Maybe I want Superintendent on my Captain build.

01:10:48 Or an extra Torpedo Relo Booster Charge. Could be useful. Alright, so... Yeah, let's try it out. I'm looking for something... Looking for something... What am I... What are you trying out?

01:11:17 Ich werde etwas weird machen, ich werde Lepanto spielen. Okay. Okay, ich werde das aufhören. Ich absolutely will Gunfeeder. Million, bajillion percent.

01:11:49 I do actually think improved repair is probably super important. Yep. Three points. Super heavy AP. Honestly, yeah, I'm going to do it.

01:12:03 I just need something that can get in and potentially remove. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I left you. I'm going to do the sacrilegious thing. What's the sacrilegious thing? I'm going to take off concealment and put on torpedo lookout system. I think that's perfectly fine for unbreakable line. Not many scenarios where I would say it's a smart decision, but for this mode I would say it definitely works. Nice, one of our CCs. Thank you for the raid. Hope you had a good stream. Good to see you.

01:12:33 Let's see. That's all secondary stuff, secondary stuff, no.

01:12:45 Okay, cool. I'm going to do that. So I have a bunch of healings. They last a little longer. Make sure I have... Oh, I didn't even have the healy flag on. Oh, that would have been... Yeah, that would have been a disaster. Yeah. All right, cool. So we're going to try this because the sap is gnarly, but the AP on this is no joke because the ballistics on it... Yeah, the shell velocity is pretty high. It's just that the dispersion... I think a lot of people forget with the Italian battleships that their AP is actually not bad.

01:13:14 Let's see if playing a Torpedo Boat Destroyer was a terrible idea or not.

01:13:32 I mean, anyone else seeing your score thing after first death? That is caused by, I believe, the Team HP Plus mod. If you are seeing that, I highly recommend turning off your mods, or turning off the Team HP mod specifically. Because I believe that is causing that issue specifically.

Strategien und Schiffsauswahl im Unbreakable Line Modus

01:13:52

01:13:52 Yeah, I mean, if you're in a position where you can get battleships out of the cap areas, I think that would be pretty useful because one of the things I'm definitely seeing here is that battleships are sort of a way to just put your thumb on the cap area and say, I'm going to hold this for a while. Again, the caps tick up so quickly that even holding one or both caps for like 30 seconds can give you enough of a point lead that as long as you're trading one for one or even slightly below on kills, you have enough of a point lead.

01:14:21 Definitely super important to be able to remove battleships from the cap, which is why I'm kind of gambling on the F3 Yegumo being the pick here. Could you do a favor and type like disable the team HP mod if you're getting the thing and then pin it in the channel? Perhaps. Maybe once I die. You can just stop the ship for a little bit. No, I can't. I'm hyper-focused. I'm locked in Nesconce. I'm video gaming. Well, if we have a mod that's able to write that out and pin like...

01:14:48 Please disable the TeamHP mod if you're getting the weird screen or something. That would be appreciated. PSA, PSA. It is mods. If you're having a UI issue, 90% of the time it is a mod. Okay, the Viasma. Oh, there's a Kigeru right in front of me. And I do not have smoke because I'm playing Torpedo Relo Booster like a chump. But I'm just going to ignore him and run away.

01:15:17 Actually, no, I should shoot him. Hoping I land some Torps on the Viasma here. Actually not looking too bad. Dump some more Torps off towards... You got one. Did land one. The Benson is gunning it. It's a little weird that we have kind of enough...

01:15:44 Das ist eigentlich super helpful, weil es meine Firing Bloom ist, danke.

01:16:12 Und ich werde zurück nach hier sehen, ob ich in die B-Cup gehe. Ich denke, ich werde in die Hydro von der Pommern gehen.

01:16:25 But I can get AP to rip into one of these dudes. Could be some pretty tasty stuff. Fortunately, I think I'm going to have a hard time torping things here because our allies are also close. The other thing is, I might be able to take the Valparaiso because the... Actually, I think I can get a torping on the Valparaiso here pretty soon. The Citadel is really... It is rather exposed. Yep.

01:16:55 Probably going to get slammed by this Pomeran, but it's okay. He's already used his Torps. Nope, Pomeran just shot somebody else. All the better. Aww. Not for you. He got hit with the line thing. I actually might get the Valparaiso here with Torps. You're looking okay. 30k, yeah. I mean, you hit 3 at least? Two Torps should do it? Yep. Can't heal if you're dead? It is a little weird that...

01:17:24 The last known position of the Pommern is in the middle of the cap. Yeah, when they respawn, it resets the last known position to be where they died, which is pretty funny. I'm going to try to head into the gap here, see if I can hold out and maybe flip the cap. I think we do get the cap here. Oh, I slowed down too much. Trying to get the battleships out of the mid.

01:17:50 Well, there's Double Cruiser in front of me, and it's like... I'll have good Torp angles on the Viasma here, maybe the Chikuma. Just gonna try to Torp the Viasma. I don't think I'm gonna be able to get my guns around, but man, I would like to. Come on. Come on, computer. Ooh. I think the Torps look okay here on the Viasma. Well, I took a shot anyway, sorry. Oh. Well, that's fine. Killing him now is fine, too.

01:18:20 Alright, we have a nice cap lead here. I think we might even grab A. The CAG is sending it into the cap, but there's not too much I can do about that. We might be able to duke this torp.

Diskussion über italienische Schlachtschiffe und Spieletipps

01:18:37

01:18:37 Yeah, I remember back when Italian battleships came out, I mean, there was a lot of distaste, I guess you could say, because their accuracy is terrible. But part of their design was to get into close and mid-range. And also have lots of guns. Similar to the Dutch cruisers, actually. They were made to, yeah, Rapunzel's down, too many torps. They were made to just be able to take a middle, kind of a middle position because they're...

01:19:06 Concealment ist ziemlich gut. Und sie sind genug genug, um zu können, um zu können, um zu kämpfen. Mal sehen, ob wir eine decenten Torpster auf den Freddy. Und ehrlich, ich werde einfach nur die, wenn ich das nächste sete Torpster auf bin. Ich denke, er geht für den Ram.

01:19:26 I'm not gonna make it. Alright, well, let's see if I can work on the Valparaisu and keep him off of A. Pomeran's gonna be pushing as well. Expect the rewards to be heavily nerfed when it comes to live. This is already live. Yeah, this is live already.

01:19:43 Okay, so you're sharking around in their back line. Yep, I was hoping to land a few more Torps on the Freddy there. Not sure if the second set is any better. We're doing the maximum disruption thing. Also, I'm trying to lose my ship here so I get my Torpedo Reload Booster back. Oh, I think the Freddy will actually go down in the flooding there. Oh, he is running a heal, so maybe not. Now there are game sounds not working with an Esconce's view. Well, maybe we'll have to do some game sound troubleshooting later.

01:20:11 Also true. I don't think I'm going to be able to take the Valparaiso here, because...

01:20:41 Ja, also ein guter Punkt in Chat ist, dass es eine B-Tier 7-9 gibt es die Möglichkeit, wenn sie in der Mode arbeiten können.

01:21:12 Okay, I don't know if I'm gonna punch through, but...

01:21:16 Das ist ein bisschen zu hoch. Was ist ein bisschen zu hoch? Was ist ein bisschen zu hoch? Was ist ein bisschen zu hoch? Was ist ein bisschen zu hoch? Okay. Das ist nicht zu gewinnen. Ich meine, er hat noch einen Heels auf dem Vulturen, aber wir haben A, wir sind B. Wir haben eine schwierige Zeit hier. Ich werde mich über die Asma machen. Ich werde mich wieder zurück in A hier als auch. Und dann vielleicht kann ich ein Torp etwas in der B-Cab.

01:21:47 Der Jäger ist ein Problem, aber ein Problem ist ein Problem. Der Jäger hat einen Lugbites und kleine Snuggles für Torpedos. Er hat auch schon ein Problem, ich denke. Ich kann ihn stoppen hier und schütze ihn auch.

01:22:04 However, Italian battleships are uniquely terrible at dealing with DDs. Yeah, they're not amazing because of the low accuracy. Low accuracy and outside of your secondaries, everything is treated as an overpen, so if you hit with the big guns, it's just...

01:22:22 Not super powerful. Alright, well, A is contested. We still have B, so that's good. Yep. I think we have enough of a point lead that I don't think that they can come back within the next three minutes. Shikuma is turning? Everything's showing broadside to you. What is this? I don't know. I mean, I'm trying to take positions where I'm threatening angles. I just need the guns to reload, please. There we go. We've got one.

01:22:51 Slow on the back turret, though, but might. Nah, it was an overpen. Too bad. Alright, I think I'm just gonna run at the pommer in here. You would take asymmetric any day over this. There are no players to annoy you. That's perfectly fine. Some people definitely prefer PvE stuff. Different modes are different modes, man. This is basically like Super Brawls, is what this is. It's the brawliest brawl that ever done brawl.

01:23:21 Oh, he has Hydro. Oh, Viasma again. You're kind of farming the Viasma on repeat. Well, unfortunately this time he's turning. I do have, what, 380s in this? So, I mean, I don't have a lot of overmatch potential. But Viasma, I believe, has 30, no, 25 for the nose? Yep. Well, screw it. Take the shot.

01:23:51 Nein, nicht schlecht. Ich habe ihn für 13. Die Palmarin DCP'd. Lose HE Esconse. Ich habe ihn. Ich habe sieben Sekunden. Ich habe sieben Sekunden. Ich werde ihn wieder nehmen.

Spielmechaniken und Belohnungen im Fokus

01:24:11

01:24:11 I'm Hydro'd, so it doesn't too much matter. Yeah, he's gone. Fiasmo's gone. One more kill will do it for us. The Valparaiso's on 10k over there, although who knows if he has his heal coming up. Alright. Oh, I'm about to die. You know, I would actually like to see a tournament on this. Yeah, it could be fun. I would like to see a coordinated team making some decisions and actually fighting out. I think there could be a lot of interplay with this in terms of... I mean, I think it's really all about...

01:24:40 How long can you sit in the caps for? And trying to keep presence in the cap. Because again, once a team ticks over that point advantage, it's so hard to dig them out. Yeah, I feel like the rewards are pretty spicy. If that many people are reaching over 2k, I'm just going to throw this out there. I'm just going to trickle some sand into the air and see where the wind is blowing. That might be a lot. These are supposed to be...

01:25:08 Similar to what random battles are going to do. Yeah, I mean, six people over 2k base for a 10 minute battle is pretty good. I don't think you see that happen in random battles too much. So there might be a little movement on the base XP front. But other than that, I mean, it seems fun. So I don't know. I want to play again. I actually want to play the Lepanto again. I want to see. I want to feel this one. I might pick a cruiser this time. I'm going to go through all the classes. See what we have for cruiser options.

01:25:40 Hmm. Could this be a mode where players can fight for Brawl Eternity? Brawl Eternity. Maybe I'll play Ayr.

01:25:56 I haven't played Aegir in a very long time. I know this is one of Boggy's favorite ships. I am serious. I would really like to see a coordinated tournament like this and be able to cast it. I can imagine that you would have rallies and charges and holding actions and they would be constantly in flux. Have you slowed it down a little bit? Maybe so it took about 50% longer maybe?

01:26:21 Und, ich weiß nicht, es hat sich die Map ein bisschen. Weil es ist ein bisschen ein Bisschen auf zu kommen. Nicht, dass das so gut ist. Ich glaube, das ist die Sache, dass du alle die Schiffe aus dem Kap aus dem Kap hast, und dann haben sie jemanden in der Kap für lange genug, während sie respawnen und kommen zurück. Oh, Riga. Ja, ich werde die Riga hier als ein Kruiser-Option. Ich habe eigentlich nicht vergessen, dass ich alle meine Upgrades habe.

01:26:45 Rika has Advanced Pentacles, right? It does. So the idea here is maybe something that can radar the Destroyers and kind of sit in the cap and be annoying. Only two people on your team got over 2k basic speed. It's okay. Some games are going to be one way, some games are going to be other. Most of our games we've only had like one or two people or whatever over 2k, but in the last one we had a lot, which could be fine. You know, maybe a whole lot of people played really well and really did the best they could.

01:27:13 But at the same time, I don't do the math on the basic P and stuff, so...

01:27:22 Cruiser sucked in PTS testing. I could see that Cruiser is not having the requisite tankiness or concealment like Destroyers to actually hold on to the caps, but hopefully the Riga will be tanky enough to let me have some map presence. I mean, I enjoyed playing the Alaska, but I was not positioned close enough to really make use of the 305s. I did that on purpose. I tried to take a really aggressive angle so that I threatened into the cap. And I mean...

01:27:51 I got slow farmed by another cruiser, but I was denying the cruiser the ability to move in. I mean, it definitely feels like it's all about the capability of getting into the cap, whether that's concealment on your destroyer plus the torp threat for the enemy battleships or just the raw brick of HP and armor from a battleship to just get in there and sit in the cap. Venom would do very well in this mode or any mode. Venom would certainly have a bunch of torps.

01:28:19 Ich meine, ich kann es sehen. Sie sind nicht Jäger-weak. Sie sind nicht Holland-Line-weak. Ich denke, es hat genug genug von ihnen zu sein, und es hat die Concealment zu sein. Ich meine, wenn du ein Benham-Mount hier... Oh, ich clicked und es nicht... Clicky, das ist zu bad. Wenn du ein Benham-Mount in C2 oder so, dann...

01:28:45 Und es war einfach nur ein Torps, immer 15 Sekunden. Das würde definitiv sein. Ich denke, es ist... Ich denke, es geht...

01:29:07 I know you get base XP for capping, and I think you might actually be able to get some from... You should be able to get some from defending too, yeah. Well, from defending, but also from stalling. So if you're sitting in a cap that's an enemy cap, I think you accrue a little over time. So maybe when stuff is contested. We got two buffalo sitting in the cap here.

01:29:33 Yolo Emilio takes, oh wow. Well, unfortunately, it sucks that they're buffalos because they have the 27mm nose to autobounce it. Yes, they do. I may have to go wide where you are. Our Alaska is going to have a really shitty day. Yolo Emilio is going down here.

01:29:56 He took a DD with him though. Ooh. Okay. Nice hit on the buffalo. Well, I didn't have the overmatch, but I had the oof. Zap, baby. Unbreakable is supposed to be tier 7 as well. We only sing in tier 9. I would imagine a lot of people are playing 8s and 9s. Less people playing 7s. Although, maybe I need to check in port. Maybe I'm wrong. Please reload. The gun reload is a little sadness.

01:30:26 The nice thing about this mode, too, is if you have Outnumbered, it's rocked a lot. Just because most of the enemy team is always spotted. I actually didn't pick Outnumbered, but I probably should have. I was really just going for, like, oof. On your cruiser, yeah. Okay, there goes the JB. I think I'm going to push here. I'm going to send it in.

01:30:53 He should go down here. Maybe next Salvo. So they're really holding on to B. Yolo Emilio might be able to make a play if he's got Torps. If he sacks the crap out of the Pommern, that'd be huge.

01:31:21 Ich werde noch ein paar Schmerzen auf den Palmarin geben, um ihn zu verabschieden.

01:31:29 Ich glaube, das ist auch ein Scenic Groud, ich habe nicht einen Schaden. Ich bin sicher, dass er auch leidt von Hydra ist. Ich glaube, er ist noch da. Ich glaube, er ist noch da. Ich glaube, er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da. Er ist noch da.

01:31:59 Ja, ich meine... Oder vielleicht muss ich nur warten. Es ist wirklich stärker bei der einen Trick die es hat. Aber ja, wenn der einen Trick ist nicht da. Es sind tough times. Ich denke, wir sind in diesem Fall. Ja, es ist ein bisschen rough. Es ist ein bisschen Sadness-y. Ich meine, wir sind für jetzt, aber sie haben einen Cap und wir haben nicht, das ist sehr gut. Sehr gut. Sehr gut nicht.

01:32:28 A little work on the DD. I know the buffalo is in your face. I've been shooting the Jager. He is dark now, though, and I don't have the radar. Alright, let's see if I can get some shells into the buffalo here. Yep. Alright, I should be able to just hit the rock here and cap now, so we should have at least one cap, but B is going to be a problem.

01:32:50 Alright, so I could go one line and try to pressure battleships off of B. But we don't have anybody to go to B. It's basically just the Yolo Emilio. I mean, he's going in for it again. And he does have his smoke off cooldown every time he respawns, so... Maybe that'll help. Aw, the Jaeger's blocking A. I don't have radar for another 70 seconds. M got reset. Yeah, we lost our chance to cap.

01:33:18 Radar by Buffalo. Okay capping again. I'll reverse and try to go dark here.

01:33:29 Oh, good. The radar's down. That's positive. What am I still lit by? I might be able to cheek the Musashi from this range. That would be nice. It's 10 clicks, but the velocity on the shells is really tasty. Okay, well, we did force them off of an A long enough for us to cap, so... Pretty close game, though. I'll just poke out now and just keep trading with the Hipper.

01:33:59 Ja, he's turning. Sad times. Think you'll be able to make it into B there? Uh, who? What? Are you going to be able to make it into B? Um, I guess, yeah, I have to. Sorry, I got distracted by very, very large battleships doing very large battleships in my basement. Two fires on me as soon as my DCP ended. Every time.

01:34:29 Ja, I'll probably be going down here just because of the fire damage. There's also about to be a power in my face, although maybe I can ram him. You know, the constant buffalo is really a thing. It's kind of annoying. Yeah, it's kind of annoying. Yeah, I'm going to try to go for the ram here. They keep showing up and being like, surprise, deal with me. Hey, I'm back.

01:34:59 Oh, am I messing up the ramp? I have a gnarly. Okay, 11 on that. Oh, I'm not getting the ramp off. Musashi OP.

01:35:12 Ich weiß nicht, wo der Pommern ist, aber ich bin sicher, dass ich mich von der N2 get hurt bin. Ich muss mich auf AP hier sehen, ob ich ein guter Bite bin. Er war einfach so, er sollte sich für ein paar Worte sein. Ich muss mich auf den Rippen auf den Rippen. Hat er Torp you? Nein, nein, ich habe die Musashi. 1-for-1-Trading ist zu effektiv, weil du nicht mehr Punkte verlierst. Es ist definitiv gut, wenn du auf die Punkte verlierst. Es ist definitiv gut, wenn du auf die Punkte verlierst. Valid Taktik, für sicher.

01:35:40 Get him! Oh yeah, he's gone. Squish! Live a sconce, live!

01:36:04 Well, I'm Hydro, but currently I'm able to just kind of hold. I know the Yolo Emilio is able to do the same thing, but we almost have B, which is pretty cool. Yeah, if we can cap B, we'll get a little bit more of a point lead. I'm going to try to stop them from flipping A. There's three of them on top of each other. I'm not going to lie, I'm liking this. I'm really enjoying this. It's a pretty cool concept. It definitely flips the usual objective plate into a different...

01:36:34 Different style, which is pretty cool. No lie, I want a competitive version of this. I want a tournament with this. Because I think there's a real possibility to make some strategy.

01:36:50 Do I get the buffalo here? Oh, only one citadel. I can just reload the damn guns. Okay, well, I'm still waiting for some battleships to come in and just body slam me. I'm going to pound my radar here so we can see what's going on. Watch out, watch out, watch out! Yeah. I'll be able to shoot them as they try to rush you here. Maybe I can even get some citadels on the Musashi, we'll see. Trying to turn the guns, for what that's worth.

01:37:18 I guess I just have to hard bail. Mirsashi is staring at me right now, so it's really just the Pomern coming across at you. I might even be stuck. No, okay, I'm not stuck. I'm just going to try to put as much damage on the Pomern as possible while he goes through this. I wasn't sure if my guns were clear of the island. Well, once our Alaska goes down, we won't have anything holding the caps, which is a bit of a concern.

01:37:44 Yep, there's a whole lot of them sitting right on both. And there's another Johan spawned back in. Yep. Right behind it. That's pretty tough. Hopefully we can at least trade the Pomeran for our Laska. And I might actually have Citadel Angle here on the Musashi. Maybe I need to get a little bit closer. If I can get some sap into the Hipper, I might at least be able to take him out. Let me see if I can finish him off.

01:38:11 Okay, well, I didn't need to take that shot, but it's okay. We got resets on the Pomern, as long as Jean Bart is there. I'm shooting the Musashi. I should have a Citadel angle on him now. The Jaeger's kind of a problem. Ooh, can you work the Jaeger? I think I'd rather Citadel the Musashi if I can. Although the Jaeger is a problem. Oh, only three Citadels.

01:38:40 I'm about to get torped. Yikes. Well, I don't think I'm going to be able to kill the Jäger. I've got to sit into the Musashi, though. Oh, is he ramming me? He's going to be too close to get his torps off. I'm ramming him. He's ramming me. That's a good play. Okay. Maybe his torps weren't loaded. They load really fast, though.

01:39:04 Well, that lets me sit in the cap and survive and kill the Musashi. So I think we're actually okay now. Yeah, I think that probably decided it right there. And you're just raking the Carl with AP shells too. Match ends in 40 seconds. We're up 80 points or so.

01:39:25 Oh, oh god. I showed way too much side there. Ouch. It was going so well. If I didn't die there, now they have a chance of flipping the caps. Oh dear. I definitely think... I think as long as we keep the Johan reset, we'll be more than okay. Yeah, I'm pretty sure B is gone. Yeah, they don't have anybody on A right now. It should be okay. Can I clock the buffalo here?

01:39:51 One kill at this point seals it for us. Only 8 seconds left. Let's see. Come on, Salvo. Do the gig. Do the gig. Oh! Hell yeah! Holy crap. Lots of Death Strikes for you this game. The AP on... Italian AP is nuts. It is gnarly. I mean, I threw some sap salvos. There was a sap salvo I think I did at 20k into a battleship that was angled because, I mean, it could rip into superstructure, but mostly it was just AP being threat.

01:40:21 Look at those basic speed numbers, by the way. I'm going to show my screen for a second here. Yeah, so... Yeah, over 3k base with the Riga, almost 3k for a sconce as well, just shy of 2.9. Now, I mean, to be fair... I did hit almost 300k that match, mostly on, like, cruisers, so... To be fair, you are known as one of the strongest players that play the game. So there is that. I'm pretty capable at the game as well. So, like...

01:40:46 You can expect a little outlier nature with that, but again, this is supposed to be in line with random battles, so again, I'm just, you know, sprinkle the sand into the wind, see which way it's blowing, there may be a little nip and tuck on the base XP, because that does seem to be pretty strong. We'll see, we'll see how it goes. Okay, now I can probably type up a pin. If you're getting a UI issue, it's caused by the Team HP Plus mod.

01:41:15 Sometimes mods will cause UI issues, especially with event modes, so I highly recommend just uninstalling the mod and it should fix the issue. Is there a max of respawning? No. You can respawn as much as you get sunk. Fight, sync, repeat. The only thing that stops you respawning is when the mode ends, because somebody reached a thousand points. I'm going to be honest, I'm liking the Lepanto. Yeah, it seems to be working very well for you.

01:41:46 Ja, ich meine, 70mm Exposed Side, 55mm Deck. Ich bin sicher sie hat sie ein Turtleback. Und ja, die Accuracy ist ein bisschen sus, aber wenn du close... Und du bist all die Zeit. Du bist all die Zeit in Unbreakable Line. Try the Illinois. Das könnte ein ziemlich gut pick für Unbreakable Line. Ich bin kind of curious über Tianjin, als auch. Kind of a more gun-focused Riga, right? Warum nicht du try Tianjin und...

01:42:18 I don't have the Illinois. I'm sure I could pick it up because I think it's Research Bureau points. I just want to play Lepanto again. Do it. Sorry. I mean, it's a little repetitive, but I'm liking it. I just need to respec my captain again.

01:42:45 Yeah, Illinois is kind of like a cruiser platform on a battleship hull, so you could sit somewhere and do the thing. Instead of being a secondary platform, where your secondaries are gnawing down at the enemy, you can instead have basically Des Moines guns, where you can chew down the enemy. Yep.

Spielmodus-Vielfalt und Strategie-Überlegungen

01:43:07

01:43:07 Just do damage. 42 battleships in queue now. The mode is a little repetitive. Well, fight, sync, repeat. We have a lot of modes. We have random battles, we have operations, we have brawls, we have ranked, we have clan battles, we have this. There's all kinds of options. So play what you want to play. The nice thing about this mode is I think how different it is from randoms. I mean, you don't have to play Unbreakable Line for 10 hours a day, but if you're looking for a break from randoms...

01:43:36 Das ist ein guter Weg zu mixen. Es ist definitiv anders.

01:43:41 All right, so Tianjin has the high precision spotter, so we can be using that. Interesting, not really sure how to approach this map. Maybe I go up to the A line and try to shoot down on B? Or maybe I just sit on the rock in the cap and just base tank? That could work too. No destroyers in this match, so. I think, I think, oh, I can't ping. C4, or C5 maybe? Because then you can work on...

01:44:09 I think I'm just gonna go sit on the rock. Well, yeah, I guess. You have smoke though, right? Nope. Oh, what? We have so many ships. Is the efficiency badges Discord unavailable? Not sure what you mean exactly by the Discord. Maybe the Discord event for efficiency badges? Not sure what the time frame for that is.

01:44:31 All right, should be able to just touch the cap here. I think it would definitely be important, I think, for, like, one of our ships to get to, like, G4, maybe, and try to, like, live in the cap there. I'm not sure how feasible that is.

01:44:58 Well, there are two battleships, the Iparanda and the Njord going down there, but with three cruisers and the Iowa, I think I actually need to go down to A as well, so we might just triple battleship A. I mean, this is kind of a funky map layout where it feels like, based on the spawns, our team mostly wants to go up to the north part of the map and their team wants to go south, but the north cap is a lot bigger.

01:45:24 Ich würde gerne den Schott auf den Kohlhorn. Das ist gut. Das ist gut. Ja. Er wurde rechthet. Oh, Gehter Protection hits. Okay, da sind ein Airstrikes. Ich denke, du kannst drei in eine Dib in diesem Gammode haben. Ich bin nicht persönlich... Ich denke, du kannst drei in eine Dib in diesem Gammode haben. Ich denke, du kannst vier. Ich bin nicht... Oh, ich habe die Rock.

01:45:53 But you can definitely try it out in-game and see. Yep, it's up to four if I remember correctly. Up to four once. Alright, so we're already down two kills, which is not amazing. No, double battleship shoving plus a North Carolina, so this is ultra scary. I might be able to...

01:46:17 Slam the Alsace and ram the Los Andes. Could work. Yeah. I don't know. I already popped my smoke. If I'd have done it a little later, I might have been able to pull that off. But if I could slam just a ton of damage. I think we can get the coolant here. Yeah, you should go down here. I may actually need to go for the San Luis. San Luis, you have a Citadel. I could probably... Yeah, you could probably get some sit action in there.

01:46:48 Getting a lot of overpens, kind of sad. Just overpens. There's the Eden. Well, I had actually hoped to AP slam the Alsace as I was past him. I am going to get torqued here. I don't think I'm going to be able to do that. Although, I don't really know what he's doing either. Ah, he did get the torqued off.

01:47:20 Actually, we might be able to dodge most of them here. Okay, interesting. So, one of the battleships got golf clapped. I don't even know how the hell that happened. You're looking pretty healthy there. Yeah, um... I don't know why the Los Andes... Seems like the match is suddenly kind of turning around for us. Yeah, I don't know why he disappeared, but he did. I think I should get the Eden here.

01:47:44 Oh, we're over pens, we're not. I don't think I can ram the North Carolina. I don't think I have the turn radius for that, but I can hurt him. If I live long enough. That would be nice. Hopefully somebody can nab the Eden here.

01:48:03 Es ist nicht so gut AP Angeln, leider nicht. Carolina ist wirklich ein schlechtes Tag. Und noch eine Salve. Ich gebe es dir. Live! Alright, well... Ich werde definitiv nicht bleiben, aber...

01:48:20 Ja, ich meine, wir haben eine sehr gute Position jetzt. Ich glaube, wir haben eine gute Position jetzt. Ich denke, wir haben eine A-2, weil die Metz ist hinter der Rock. Also, das ist sehr gut. Und wir sind solidlich auf Kills jetzt, so eine sehr gute Point-Lead. Und wenn wir ein paar Böden in den Cappen können, wir haben eine sehr gute Positionierung für den Match. Ich wirklich für ein Squeeze-Play, da. Ich war... Ich war... Ich war... Ich war... Ich habe die Bait auf den Kruiser. Und all ich habe ist das OOPS-All-Over-Pens, so... Happens. Brudel, aber...

01:48:49 Oh, I'm definitely showing too much sight to the Lepanto here. Yep. Brutal! You know, I could have done sap at the San Luis. Instead of hoping for citadels, I could have just slammed the raw damage and not had to worry about it. I think I am going to go down here. Pulled out a little bit too far in front of the Lepanto, unfortunately. Okay, that's nice. I'll help out a little.

01:49:19 Ich denke, ich bin definitiv nicht 3k-basiert in diesem Spiel. Ich habe nicht viel Broadside zu schießen, weil ich nur in der Mitte der Welt bin. Ich denke, wenn ich das Spiel wieder habe, würde ich vielleicht auch nach vorne gehen. Ich denke, wenn ich das Spiel wieder hätte, würde ich auch nach vorne gehen. Ich habe die Allsace. 15.

01:49:47 just broke one of his guns all safe getting chewed up by a whole bunch of torpedoes

01:49:59 Hopefully he goes down before shooting me again. I think I have enough angle here for my AP to bite. It just needs to finish loading. And then I can probably keep the Edinburgh off this cap. That would be nice. I think the Edinburgh probably kills me here. Showing a little bit too much side to him. Is he shooting at you? Aw, he is. That's too bad. I'm sorry, man. Help! I did not get a shot off there. Yeah, I think we're looking pretty good here still.

01:50:27 They were very far from the caps. Yeah, I think that initially breaking our way as well as it did was pretty massive. Super not small. I have to imagine he twerped, right? Maybe he did. Maybe not, maybe not. Keep turning, buddy. Get him. Yeah.

01:50:57 Oh yeah, we have somebody in chat in our game, in the Iparanga. Nice to see you. The Foxy Latina has two kills in her Iparanga. Yeah, I mean, it looked rough at the start, but otherwise pretty smooth now. Pretty smooth match.

01:51:19 Alright, maybe I'm far enough away that I won't overpen the ever-living crap out of the Saint-Louis. It has the French troll armor. You're going to get nothing on it. Oh, just kidding. I did get one. I got one. I love saying something and then just being immediately wrong. It's awesome. Alright, well 970. This one's pretty shut out. I think we got it locked in. We had a whole lot of good back and forth, though, for all of the other matches, though.

01:51:49 Oh, I really like playing the ship. Levanto seems much better than I expected for this mode, actually. It has the nasty AP and the sap for when things angle. It has the exhaust smoke for just sitting in the caps if they can't radar you. The armor scheme is pretty solid.

01:52:12 Yeah, pretty good. And yeah, pretty decent basic speed numbers. Yeah, see, these are more normal. So I think it's really when the Cap contested kind of stuff goes down. Alright, well. So we have Unbreakable Lined. I hope you enjoyed it. I did. Rawr. I thought we were just going to play a match or two of it and then move on to other stuff, but... Yeah. That was pretty good. That was pretty good.

01:52:37 Curious, how long will Valparaiso be up for sale? I don't happen to know that off the top of my head, but she is currently available in Admiral Pack. If you'd like to pick her up, she's also available through the Daruma event. I think we've also mentioned that Valparaiso will be returning later in the year. Yep, towards the new year she'll be coming back in an event similar in style to the Steel Will, I think it was. The Steel Will event that we ran for this previous new year. So probably resource-related.

01:53:06 So you can pick her up that way. Yep.

Ankündigung von Turnieren und Partnerschaften

01:53:13

01:53:13 Oh, goodness. Rawr. Well, it is 640. We talked about this a little earlier, but let's talk about it again for anybody that's hopped into the stream since. There is a tournament. So first off, we had a tournament that we already ran, I think a 3v3. We did that pretty recently. And how did that go? It went pretty well. Again, the whole concept behind these is they're kind of one-night events. We're calling them weekly tournaments because in the future we're kind of planning to run them over a longer time frame, one a week.

01:53:39 People can just show up, play some casual matches, get some rewards. The one coming up is on April 18th, so this Friday, and is a 5v5. So if you get four friends together, you can register a team, play for some steals, some new destruction effects, as well as a bunch of rare bonuses. And we hope to see you there. If you want to join in, you go to the COTS Discord, discord.dg.com, register on the website, and then you can just sign up. And you will need to make sure when you're registering a team, it's not just that there's a solo sign up.

01:54:09 Although that would certainly be an awesome thing. Yeah, for the future, that's definitely something we'll be thinking about is giving a way for people who don't have a team to find one or to register themselves as a mercenary, perhaps. But for now, we're just kind of testing out the concept, testing out the waters, running these first two nights, and then later in the year, we'll bring it back. All right. I actually want to point out two other things, one of which, again, we talked about a little earlier, which is Transformers is back. So you can pick up.

01:54:36 There are some Transformers containers and stuff, also some bundles. There's a big Supertastic Wonder Bundle that has 50% off, and then there are some smaller bundles with a little less. But you can also get... Oh, wait, I should go back to this. You can get some Transformers basic containers for credits. You can pick up to two of them with 300,000 credits each, which is cool. Or... Combat mission.

01:55:04 Yes, you can earn a bunch in the combat missions, which I think if we calculate earlier was 12 and looks like I've already gotten two of them. So that's cool. And does worth pointing out, getting three destroyed ribbons, causing 150,000 damage to other ships, getting some Citadel hits. Those are not ultimate or sorry, unbreakable line compatible. Unbreakable line, you're going to get some silly damage numbers.

01:55:28 Silly amounts of kills, crazy potential damage numbers, etc. So it may not be the go-to mode for combat mission farming for all of your combat mission needs, but it is fun. And you can do, I believe, almost all the Dockyard missions in Unbreakable Line except for the challenge missions, which are the in one battle do X. But all the other missions should be Unbreakable Line compatible, so highly recommend checking out the mode for that. And there is something else.

01:55:55 So, checking out the Event Pass, I just went ahead and claimed my Yahagi, which I think I already had, so I'm sure I got some compensation for that. But I had unlocked the paid track here, and at the end of the paid track is Defender of the Pacific Ocean for the Essex. On the not paid track is the Final Voyage Yamato skin. This is around for one more week. So, the first three weeks of Update 14.3 have this.

01:56:23 Current Event Pass. And then there will be another one coming along, which I don't know if we have an article out for just yet. So I can't really promo all the cool stuff. But that'll be coming along fairly soon. And I just want to remind you that if you had something on this track that you were really looking to get to, you got a week. So do your missions, get your stuff. Just to show off that Yamato camouflage, this is the one that you can get for the free track, just because it is beautiful. I want to show you guys. Yes.

01:56:51 It looks fantastic. And I'll actually grab the Essex. So why don't we go ahead and devote our last match of the day. Why don't we devote them to some Yamato and Essex gameplay. Are we good with that?

01:57:06 I will take the Yamato, if you don't mind. Alright, then I will Essex it up and hopefully do better than I have done in the past, because I think I had some kind of crappy games. Now, if I remember correctly, that Essex camo is from the initial Early Access release of the line. Yes. So if you missed out on it then, this is a wonderful chance to pick it up. And it's also a historical camo. I think it's actually a camouflage scheme that the ship itself ran. Yep. Early Access camos can be a little tough to get.

01:57:32 Typically, they'll come along in the more paid portion of the Early Access Event, and especially for the higher tiers, that can be a little tough to get to. So it's nice when they return in Events or Event Passes, and definitely a great time to pick them up. The Event Pass, I believe, is only 2,000 doubloons, which if you don't want to spend money, that is totally okay. You can earn doubloons in Ranked. You can get doubloons from Super Containers. You can get doubloons from events and stuff.

01:58:01 So just save them up, and if you see something that you're particularly interested, you can unlock the pass. Just make sure that you finish the grind before the event pass finishes. Alright, so I will ready up. Make sure I got all the flags and stuff. Who needs flags? And let's derp around. Oh, I can't wait to rub up my battleship gameplay. I complain every time I miss a shot, every time somebody sets a fire on me.

01:58:30 Well, that's one thing that's nice about Battleship gameplay and the Unbreakable thing where you're like 7 to 10 clicks away from stuff. You're shooting things and you get them. You dev strike a lot of things as evidenced by your Lepanto gameplay. Also nice. Spoke to me via message saying the problem accessing your account. I will be happy to take a look at that after streaming it. Oh, by the way, Foxy Latina said she was number one. So, woo! Yeehaw!

01:58:57 No Destroyers! The Battleship Dream! That's a lot of battleships. That's awesome. Yeah.

01:59:06 Perhaps because I started out maining CV, I don't see all battleship games as awesome. I love all battleships. Battleships tend to have the most AA. Yeah, they might be the easiest to hit, but they tend to have the most AA, so they would typically just grind down the amount of planes you had pretty quickly and be like, well, glad I had, I can help. I don't know, I love the big damage numbers, so all the things with the 100,000 HP in your match, so beautiful.

01:59:34 Das und wenn ich ein Cruiser bin und es ist, oh gut, eine 5-6-Battleship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-Ship-S

01:59:59 I haven't unlocked that magical technique yet. The magic is spamming the W and S key and being behind an island. And tends to help. Alright, some nice spotting there. I'd like to see the thunder up here because I can overmatch them everywhere. Alright, well, Des Moines is too close to evade, so I'll just do the thing.

02:00:26 Only one drop tonight. Last few weeks there have been several. Well, I think with the beginning of the event, or beginning of the update, there's like a mystery drop. Sometimes you can finish up maybe other drops that are around or something. There's also a channel drop that's applicable to anything and everything, not just the official World of Warships channel. So it could be something like that. Yeah, but usually, like Ascon said, there's a mystery drop for the first one or two weeks of the update.

02:00:54 Well, I dropped some smoke just while the cruisers are kind of getting into position. I don't know if it'll do anything, but...

02:01:21 Und weil wir keine Destroyer haben, meine Rolle hier ist zu versuchen, die Leute zu tun etwas zu tun, während alle meine...

02:01:32 Pilots get deer jumpers. Oh, I can shoot the anchorage. Well, good, then I'm helping. See if I can provide you with some of that spotting damage. Oh, he does have a smoke, so. Yeah, anchorage must have shot. Oh god, there's a Des Moines too. Can you come spot the thunderer, maybe? I'd have to get across an anchorage and a Baltimore to do so, but I can try.

02:02:03 So I think once you trade blows, you'll spot each other. Yep. And one last update on the Balti, which I don't think you have. Ooh, nice hit. Yep, 7 out of 9 shells there, 28k without a Citadel. It's the magic of overmatching 32mm. You spot him directly, yeah? Not quite yet. I think actually, no, the Napoli should be spotting him, so it should be fine.

02:02:33 Nope, Napoli I don't think would see that.

02:02:37 Well, you don't have a lot of time. I just got my shot off, so it's fine. Okay, well you do you. So I am the destroyer for this match. Note, we actually just had a CV test. Now, the CV test was just that. It was a test. It was not like, hey, it's coming around the corner. It's just, we were working on mechanics. We iterated from the previous test. And we're definitely still planning a lot of improvements and changes to it. Yeah, not around the corner, but...

02:03:06 Part of the reason for the test was to limit incidental spotting, which right there, what I was able to do is just kind of loiter and continually provide spotting presence. The CV test actually has a forcible limit on that. There's only so much time you can use on a recon mode for a specific squadron. If you start an attack, you will be able to spot, but once the attack timer runs out,

02:03:35 You will attack the water, if nothing else. So you will eventually run out of planes and have to fly back. So it creates more of an intermittent back and forth. So if you had a chance to join in on the test and check it out, thank you very much for doing that. We actually read out some giveaway winners from people that helped out with the test earlier in the stream. That's in the news if you'd like to check it out.

02:04:02 It is something that we have noted that we could try to make some movement on. Now, fortunately, I think having the spotting kind of works out in this sense because there are no DDs. So, I'm taking one for the team. I'm trying to help out.

02:04:21 You miss Bogsy? We all miss Bogsy. Bogsy's awesome. I'm excited for Bogsy coming back soon. I'm excited for Bogsy to have an extended break. Now granted, I don't think you can call, you know, sleepless nights with a new kiddo a break, but I am glad for him to have, you know, some time to...

02:04:42 Weil es immer schön zu haben, ein bisschen anders zu haben. Oh, die Baltimore stopped reversing. Ich bin so bad.

02:04:54 The Bogster is missed. I might actually take that. I think two Torps into his drive. Yeah, he looks pretty dud. Take it. Very nice. Can I work the Balti? I need a better angle on him, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to see him to do it. I also need to charge up the boost. It's North Carolina. I don't know if we get two planes through to that.

02:05:22 Maybe. Amen on him having a break. I mean, break's good for anybody. Remember, actually, when I started here, the HR person, you know, signing contracts and stuff, mentioned, when you take a break, save up your time off and take like two weeks. Take an extended amount of time. Because you need to just get out. Just fully disconnect.

02:05:48 Go to another plane of existence for a little while. And then come back. You got to do that actually. You got like three weeks in Japan. I had three weeks. It was very nice. Like that had to be a hell of a mental reset button there. It was very nice indeed. Okay.

02:06:09 So, North Carolina Alsace, what is this? What are you doing? Oh, he's trying to fighter me, I'm trying to fighter him. There's still a Des Moines sharking around.

02:06:21 I mean, my fighters, I don't think, are going to matter very much. I am so out of practice with Yamato. My aim is absolutely horrendous. You know, I started playing some Japanese Battleship because of the samurai skin on the Fuso back when that happened. And, like, I really had some fun. So I played some Tier VI and I think also played some Tier VII. And I kind of got used to the guns. And I was like, okay, well, you know, I have a Musashi from back when...

02:06:47 Ich habe ein paar Sander-Containers und so, ich habe es versucht, ich habe es nicht zu sehen. Ich habe es nicht zu sehen. Ich habe es nicht zu sehen, ob ich es nicht zu sehen, weil ich es nicht zu sehen. Ich habe es nicht zu sehen, ob ich es nicht zu sehen. Ich habe es nicht zu sehen, ob ich es nicht zu sehen.

02:07:11 It's not doing well with predicting people's dodges. I might get a piece. I think I see like three hits here. Nah, it was three, but it was not enough.

02:07:22 Ich habe ein North Carolina Charging-Me, so es sollte sehr einfach sein. Ja, ich meine... Du bist in einem Yamato, so als ihr bow ist zu den Enem, du bist in deinem Power-Pose. Die onlye Sache ist, dass du die Yamato-Meinigst wirst, aber du musst die 3rd-Gun in, aber du musst die 3rd-Gun in, aber du musst die 3rd-Gun in? Ja, ich denke, es ist definitiv ideal, dass die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun in die 3rd-Gun

02:07:52 All right. I'm going to be that guy and start working on the North Carolina. I'm going to steal some of your damage. I actually don't mind that Alsace is also spamming HE at me, so this could get pretty rough pretty quickly. Well, most likely I'll drop one and then follow through to try to drop the other. I don't know if I led enough there. Maybe not. He is moving in a very straight line.

02:08:15 I guess we do. Okay. I'm not super familiar with Essex. I started playing Yorktown, I think, on stream. Somebody requested it. I mean, I had a fun time. It took me a while to get used to it, but once I did, it's okay. I'm getting this. I'm getting itchy spammed.

02:08:36 I feel like you should have the North Carolina. Yeah. Shells coming in, it's like, okay, there we go. Yeah, Wichita got him. Switch to the Alsace. Yeah, I mean, pretty one-sided batch here.

02:08:54 Somebody's saying the CB rework panders to moaning minis. Never heard that term before. It's a good one. Basically, if there's an issue, if there's a gameplay issue, the best thing that can happen is feedback is super helpful. Hey, I don't like this. The most important thing is I don't like this because. Because we can give that to a game designer and go, this is a problem because. And then the game designer can look at the system and go, hmm.

02:09:24 Alright, well I can see how this system is enabling this, so maybe we can adjust it in this way or tweak it in that way to lessen the amount of issue going on or something like that. And that's exactly what the CV test is about. There are some very specific goals that we have in terms of reducing incidental spotting and making AA feel more impactful and a variety of other things.

02:09:49 Das kommt aus dem Spiel des Spiels, wo es wie, hey, wie können wir das Ganze ändern, um die System zu machen? Ja, und ich habe ein paar Dinge, von CV-Playern, die es macht die Klasse weniger, und von Service-Playern, die es macht die Klasse weniger, und von Service-Playern, die es macht die Klasse weniger. So, definitiv, ein paar Homing in zu tun. Und, again, wir sind nicht wirklich an es als close zu einem finisheden Produkt. Wir haben noch ein paar Design- und Adjustment- und Responses, based auf Daten und Feedback zu machen.

02:10:16 We'll have more news to share about this year when it's ready. Yep. There was a question, how long is the Transformers event running for? So let's try this. I'm going to go over into the news and look at the current update. And I believe there's a Transformers section. Unfortunately, it doesn't say. Man, darn. Well, maybe it'll say in the Armory. Is there a chance? Dare to dream?

02:10:43 Oh, it doesn't. But it is available now. So if you would like to check it out, hop over into the Armory and check it out. And again, there's some containers you can pick up for 300,000 credits. Those are pretty easy to pick up. And you can get an additional 12 just by playing some combat missions. Yep.

02:11:02 Ich werde ein paar Matches spielen, um die Container zu finden, um die Collection zu finden. Danke für die Drops. Ich hoffe, ihr habt Glück mit ZF-6. ZF-6 ist ein ziemlich cool Schiff. Wenn es zu Dockyards ist, Dockyards haben wirklich... Well, hell, da ist ein Dockyard gerade jetzt, so wir können einfach mal schauen. Blücher, für instance, ist ein Dockyard. Es hat 20 Stages, und wenn du zwei hast, dann alle die resten können, durch in-game Combat Missions. So, das ist für...

02:11:30 $14.60, I think, in doubloons. You could pick up an early package and get two stages for $3,200 doubloons that you can grind. It's a dockyard grind. They're not super simple, but it's a commitment. But you can pick up a dockyard ship, and that's super cool. We've had several dockyard ships that after the dockyard, they're a little tough to come by again. Usually go away for a while.

02:11:56 Yeah. They do come back eventually in various ways, but you can expect to not see the dockyard ship for a little while. So ZF6 was a dockyard ship. When you trip across a dockyard ship, it's a good chance to pick up something pretty neat. And I mean, maybe you don't want to spend the dubs, maybe you don't have them, that's totally okay. But I mean, have a think on like, is this worth doing? And if you need dubs, I would definitely recommend Ranked Battle.

02:12:21 Ranked is 1,000 doubloons per reset, if I remember correctly, for heading rank 1 in gold. If we go to current season, we can check out rewards. And for bronze, if you get 12 wins, it's 200 doubloons. And on your 15th win, you get 200 doubloons. And if you rank out, I believe you get an additional 200, I think. So that's theoretically 400 or 600 doubloons every two weeks. Ranked will recycle every two weeks.

02:12:49 So it's a great way to get some premium currency if you want to participate in a dockyard or an event or pick up a specific ship that you're interested in.

02:13:00 Keep the blue car away from coastal forts. Yep, I think it is indeed the only ship in history to have been sunk by, I think specifically, torpedoes launched by a coastal fort. So, dubious distinction there. The grind is grinder than usual for a tier 9. I think for this grind, this dockyard grind, we opted to shift some of the difficulty away from the later stages and into the early stages, so a little bit more of a smoother progression than, I think, the New York dockyard, for example, had most of that grind waited towards the end of it in the later stages.

02:13:28 I think it's also a little shorter. So for the Blue Kern, we opted to concentrate a little bit more and spread it away over the... We have gotten... Spread it out a bit. It's not all... I wouldn't say that it's major, but there's always consistent feedback about like, okay, I finished the week. Can I start the next one, please? Well, it's a time release thing. Making gameplay content is tough, so sometimes it's filtered over time.

02:13:57 But there are some people that they just, they want to get in there, they want to get to it, they want to finish it. So, having it a little shorter is not necessarily bad, it just means we need to make sure that the grind is something that is achievable. And again, Unbreakable Line is available. It is valid for all those combat missions, so highly recommend doing that. I think that will make the grind quite a bit easier, actually, for a lot of the mission types. Alright, well, we got a minute, so if you have a burning question that you just have to put out there. Last chance, last call.

02:14:24 You got that chance. And we're going to be raiding El Profe de Historia. He does speak Spanish. He's from Chile, actually Belparaiso. He's very excited about the ship because that's where he came from. But we'll be checking him out. He got to host with me a little while ago and we'll send him a little love. Fantastic dude. Very kind. All right. Well, I don't see any super cool questions in chat. So...

02:14:48 I think that's going to be it for us. I see 7 o'clock on the thingy, which means it's past my bedtime. I gotta get my sleep. Oh my goodness. I need to... Does he have underscores in his name on Twitch? Definitely does. Okay, well, I won't be able to rate it from here. We'll have to go wait a little bit. It should be straight. I mean, you can go to the outro screen and be happy. Alright, well, that's it for this week. We'll see you guys next week as per usual. Same place, same time. And until then, have a great week. Rawr!
