World of Warships

00:00:00

00:03:07 like a Kit Kat.

00:03:09 So he says Admiral Musketeer. I like Admiral Musketeer. He's my favorite of the Admirals. He's going to break you like a Kit Kat. I don't think he's going to do that. He's nice to me. He's chill. Hi guys. Welcome to 2025. Same game. New update. Same faces. It's got a zero now. It does have a zero now. I had one before. You used to have a zero in front too. Zero in the front, zero in the back. Oh, you mean the update. I thought you meant the year. I was like 2024 had a zero in it. Well, yes.

00:03:38 You are correct with that. I didn't really think that way, but it is true.

Patch Day und Balance Änderungen

00:03:46

00:03:46 Hi folks, thanks for tuning in. I always said channeling in, but tuning in to the channel. It is officially patch day. It's kind of like a new day at school. I described to the CCs today when I dump all the patch content into the CC Discord for them to sort of mull over and see and whatnot. I always described to them in a nice little way and I sort of described that...

00:04:10 Whenever we have balance changes, like big groups of balance changes, it feels like the first day of school to me. Because you show up, it's the same school, it's the same people, it's the same you, it's probably the same clothes, but summer changed you. And you're like, I wonder how these people are going to deal with the new me. And then you're like, oh, I'm getting bullied again. I hated clothes shopping so much. Did you? Yeah, I hated it so much I would hide under the clothes racks and piss off my parents because they didn't have to find me again. Aww.

00:04:38 So, eventually, they just stopped. So, I would wear the same clothes for years in a row, because... Fuck clothes shopping. It, uh... It's funny, I... I also am not a huge fan of clothes shopping. I feel you. It was... Let's drop some bombs on this head, Leo. What do you guys think? Ooh, Zhao. Zhao got some buffs, Chad. Oh, that is true. We're gonna be talking about Zhao today. I hear she is much more comfortable. I think so. Fuck!

00:05:10 Oh, I didn't get anything. This is not how we rejoice. So chat, it is patch time. And this means that we can talk about it. Dutch Cruisers, they're here. I'm excited. These Dutch Cruisers, these are the light ones. They have German guns. But they have airstrikes that are distinctly... Well, they're a little bit different. They're a little bit... Is he at a beach? I think he's at a beach.

00:05:40 Longer range, shorter cooldown. Longer range, shorter cooldown. And lower time to travel. But they don't have the alpha damage that the heavy cruisers have. So you can sling them more often and more frequently. But you will struggle a bit to do a lot of damage with them.

00:06:05 Planes are also very squishy. AA matters, guys. AA literally will reduce the amount of incoming damage.

00:06:16 Please don't kill me. Sonic, the hedge fund manager? Okay. So I did the update video and we decided to add a little joke. And one of the jokes from the update video was that I started in a suit. And then I took off the suit and put my leather jacket back on. And added a little joke to it that said that I felt like I looked like a hedge fund manager when I was wearing the suit. You did look nice in the suit.

00:06:45 Hey, thanks, man. I mean, you look good in the jacket, too, but you did look nice in the suit. They put it in the script. They were like, maybe Bugsy could be wearing a suit. And I was like, I'll try it. And I was like, nah. And I was like, maybe I'll make some content out of it. I'll make a little joke of like, put it on and be like, nah, this doesn't feel right. It's just not me. It's just not me.

00:07:08 Ich werde die Bombs auf dem Kerr first. Holy crap, das ist ein viel, das ist ein viel, das ist ein viel. Es ist ein viel, ja. Es ist ein viel, ja. Es ist ein viel, ja. Okay, Kerr first took a shot. Okay, Zao geht's down. Please dodge, please dodge. Oh, shoot. Was it a Renault? Was that a real, like, a real suit? No, it's mine. It's mine. Yeah, it's his suit. Not a Renault.

00:07:36 I don't know where the Shima is. I have this Dutch Cruiser, the Utrecht Tier 10. I have it set up for maximum airstrike capacity, which means I reload my airstrikes every 27.9 seconds. That's a lot. Okay. It's quick. It's very quick. Okay.

00:08:02 Try and light some fires on this grosse Krvost. And a fire on a Burgon? See, like a thousand damage. It's not much. Not yet. Not against something like a Krvost. Of course it is.

00:08:18 28 Sekunden? Das ist so TACCIC. Was ist die lead-time für die Bombs? Es ist nicht sehr lange. Es ist shorter als die Dutch Heavy Cruisers. However, was ich will sagen ist, dass es nicht viele Bombs gibt. Die Plänen haben nicht viel HP. So, even though, yes, du kannst die Airstriks fliegen quite a bit, es ist easy zu reduzieren die Incoming Damage mit deinem AA. Und es macht eine Unterschiede. Es macht eine Unterschiede. Es macht eine Unterschiede.

00:08:47 A pair of planes. Are drops enabled? They should be. Shima charging a minnow. That's potentially tough times in Shima high. Yep. He gon' get squeezed. I didn't even see the explosion there. Gaishu over here in our production chair. How you doing, Gaishu?

Zao Buffs und Drop Goblins

00:09:18

00:09:18 Geishu ist sehr excited über die Zau buffs. Okay, unironically, Geishu ist sehr excited über die Zau buffs. Ich bin, auch. Geishu und ich sort of looked at each other today in the office und, oh, es ist Zau buff day, right? The first thing I did today was play my Zau. Yeah. I don't know if you guys know, but the Zau got some buffs. We released a great big balance change today. Thank you very much to the dev team, to the balance department, for blessing us with this.

00:09:47 They have this bounty of Zau buffs. The cool thing about it is that there were a lot of changes to the angles, so specifically the turret angles on the Zau and the torpedo tube angles. It is much more comfortable to play now, and especially when you're kiting, you have a much better way... Oh, 12 bombs on that!

00:10:16 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

00:10:44 I just put the drops live, I think. You might need to just put them live. Oh. Okay, so folks, Gaishu is saying that the... Drops might be fixed now. Give it a glance and make sure that it's doing the thing. Yes, drop goblins. Tell us what's going on. I love us cons that you came up with drop goblins.

00:11:10 Weil es ist true. Ich habe dieses Great Shirt, das ist wie Loot Life mit einem Goblin auf. Ja. Some of you would drop Goblins, by the way. Meaning, you're just here to gobble up the... You're just here to gobble up the drops. We respect that. It is funny, though. I've landed 32 bombs already. That's dope. That's good. That's great.

00:11:36 How are you all? How was your New Year? How was your holiday? How are you finding the patch? Are you having as much fun as I am? Fire Knight says, I am 100% a Drop Goblin and I want a t-shirt. I kind of want that t-shirt too now. Well, I like the shirt that my friend made, but it's not like a WoW's themed Drop Goblin shirt. Although I suppose I could ask him like, hey, can you make one? I bet they could. That'd be funny.

00:12:04 Drop Goblins, it's all of us then? I am fairly sure that a nice percentage of the folks that are out there at home are there because they enjoy hanging out with us. Yeah. Skontz and I are worth more than just drops. Not much more. Some might just want to loot, but there are other people that want to hang out. Yeah. I used to, when I was streaming on my own, I would hang out on other people's streams sometimes just to chill. I thought it was fun. I guess I'm a loser, huh?

00:12:35 I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you drop me? Damn. It's a deep cut. It's an old song. That's not old! Okay, fun fact. Gaishu hates the old prospector voice that I do compulsively. Now, the best way to get me to stop doing a voice is to obviously tell me that you hate it. No, indeed it has not. Rejoice. Yeah, rejoice, for example.

00:13:05 We all know the hilarity that is Rejoice. You have beaten that so far into the ground that it comes out of me, even on accident. Which is, I don't know, it's astounding to me. I might be able to take this guy. The Howden Leia who keeps dropping his bombs. He keeps bonking into the island. He's giving me a hard time saying I can't hit him with my bombs. It's like, okay, guy. Okay.

00:13:35 See if I hit the daring with the bombs. Duh. Nope. I'm a loser, baby. So why don't you kill me?

00:13:53 I don't remember who that is. That's a 90s song for sure. Is that Beck? Are you sure? Beck. Oh, Beck. I haven't thought about you in 15 years. I'm fairly sure Beck did all the music for... Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I could see that. Loved that movie. He seems like a geek.

00:14:22 Es ist so ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ... ein ...

00:14:46 Devil's haircut. Devil's haircut. Asymmetric battles finished with this patch. I believe they go through the patch and then I think they do stop. It is a temporary mode. It's not permanent. Although folks have requested please make it permanent. So they're the dream. I'm going to put some AP into the side as Burgon because again this has German AP. It was pretty nifty. Yeah there was I saw

00:15:14 I think one of the privateers had mentioned, like, they weren't, they were surprised by this line, and then they were like, wait a minute, is this, like, a D7 line? Yep. And they're like, oh, I wanted that.

00:15:30 So, yeah. Ooh, that fire might stick. Yeah, it's based off of the M-Class German Cruisers design and the Indracht-Class, but yeah, the Tier 10, the Utrecht, is basically a D7. It's an upgunned D7. D7 Provencian. Schnellboat Racing League. Oh, I want the Schnellboats. I want it so bad.

00:15:58 I really liked racing games as a kid. Yep. Big fan. So Wisconsin, anything extraordinary happen to you over the break?

00:16:10 Wow. So, that stood out. Other than that...

00:16:30 No, not really. Oh, I watched a lot of Battlestar Galactica. That's right. You and I talked about this. I'm very excited for you. I watched the miniseries in the first two seasons and then a little bit of the third one and I stopped because it seemed like it was a good stopping point. Sure. Okay, well, I want to talk about this. I would say those two things. That's very exciting. I want to talk about this at some point. And then Battlestar Galactica. A lot of eating and a lot of BSG, huh? Fair enough. Well, that's nice. Well, it is... Is it okay on XP? It is the...

Update 14.0 und Dutch Cruisers

00:16:59

00:16:59 So we should go over the patch contents. Now that there are 1,400 people watching, we should go over patch contents. Okay, I'm going to real super quick just hop to our update page. Perhaps Mr. Shoe, Mr. Guy Shoe, not to be confused with Lady Shoe, can... It's like Deadpool. There's Guy Shoe and Lady Shoe. The... Lady Pool, yeah. Dog Pool. Oh, that was rough. I haven't actually seen the Deadpool versus Wolverine. It was rough.

00:17:29 Okay. Hi, guys. Welcome to Update 14.0. My name is Bogsy, and this is Dutch Cruisers. I'm just kidding. Watch the update video. I'm in it. Early access to Dutch Cruisers. This is the main thing you guys should be paying attention to in the past. These are the Dutch Cruisers. They're light. This is the early access to them. They're really fun. Anything that goes pew, pew, pew pretty quickly, always a lot of fun. It's high-skill ceiling.

00:17:54 Meaning that if you are very good, you can make very good use of these ships. They have a really fun airstrike. They've got good destroyer caliber guns with German shell characteristics. Lots of fun. They've got a speed boost, Spoodbeast, for zipping around and for helping to dodge. So again, you can make really good use of these. There is Jarsveld at Tier VI. There is Menno van Kuhorn at Tier IX, which is starting to look a bit more like a... That sounded pretty nice. Menno van Kuhorn.

00:18:22 I have no idea if it's correct, but it sounded nice. I don't either. It's Dutch. My heritage is Dutch, but I don't speak Dutch. Excuse me, Swamp German. And then Utrecht is the Tier X, which definitely is of the D7 Provincian Persuasion. It's a gorgeous ship, and it's really cool. All the camos look sort of like wooden ships with various color schemes. They look really, really nice.

00:18:49 New Expendable Camo, Dutch Tricolor came in. It's pretty busy, but it looks nice. Looks like an Expressionist painting, I would say. This is really cool, by the way. There's a brand new Commander with a special voiceover. Hattie Schacht. Hattie Schacht? Schacht. It's C-H-T. I can't remember how the Dutch...

00:19:08 I have a question for the folks out there in Chatland. If you go into the Armory you can play her voice line.

00:19:36 Ja. Ja. Ja. Ja.

00:20:08 She has good trigger discipline? Yes. Isn't Seraphis Dutch? He is. It's not your overall volume level. It's just you have sound disabled for armory or something. What? No way. That's okay. You all can go right now if you want. You can go and you can check out, play a sample of her voice lines in the armory so you can see if that's interesting to you. Yes, someone said, what's that on her finger? She is holding a little pistol as she was a member of an underground resistance. And the finger...

00:20:37 You notice the finger is not on the trigger. That is called trigger discipline, meaning you don't put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Dutch Cruisers is also the theme of the Event Pass. And as you guys may be familiar with, there are two progression lines. The first one is totally free. It has lots of cool...

00:20:54 Es gibt nur die Ereignisse, nicht nur die Ereignisse, sondern auch die Ereignisse für Eindracht und für Haarlem. Das ist eine von der Flying-Dutchmen Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Colored Kremsikl-Col

00:21:23 Second Progression Line costs 2,500 Dubloons to open up, but you will get the permanent camo for Jarsfeld, as well as this is where you can finally get your hands on the old early access camos for Johan de Witt and for Hauden Leo. Which is cool. That is pretty cool. Those were exclusive three years ago. Those came into the game right before I joined the company. Yeah, Tier 9 and Tier 10 permanent camos tend to be kind of tough to get.

00:21:47 You can usually earn Tier 6, 7, maybe the Tier 8. But when you get to the Tier 9 and 10, they tend to be in a bundle or a package or something of that nature. So having it be available to just be able to grind for 2,500 doubloons is pretty tasty. Yeah, I agree. Pretty cool. But here's the big deal, guys. Operations with Flagships. This is super cool. When we found out about this, I think we were in the community team. We were all very excited because...

Flaggschiff-Operationen, Bjorns Ballad und Dockyard Njord

00:22:13

00:22:13 This is fun. We like Operations. We know you guys like Operations. It's nice to see something added to Operations. It's different. We don't really have stuff like this. And it should make for a more fun challenge for those of you who like to make a division with your friends and play Operations. Bots and mini-bosses. They're basically mini-bosses. Yeah, exactly like Ostkons just said. Flagships are being added to Operations now. And they're basically like just an up-gunned...

00:22:39 ...up-HP'ed version of a ship that functions like a mini-boss. And it comes with even, some of them have aura-type effects that boost the capabilities of the little mini-ships that come around with them. So we think this is going to be a lot of fun. We'll try to play some on stream today. We'll definitely play some next week as well. There's going to be one this week, one next week, one in week three, and then in week four. All three of those will be available to encounter in...

00:23:08 So, yeah, should be fun. There's going to be a special article devoted just to these coming up soon. So be on the lookout for that. Then, of course, Bjorn's Ballad Adventure. This is just a special activity we've got going on for you guys. It's based on fantasy. You'll notice some earth, wind, fire, you know. When you say that, it makes you think of like the band. Earth, wind, and fire. Yeah, I realize that. But this is a very cool thing you can take part in. It is...

00:23:34 Also basically free. There's a whole bunch of missions you can complete for free to earn some goodies. There are some really cool camos, as well as new captains with unique voiceovers that came out. They're all in this sort of Nordic style of Bjorn Stormbreaker, this fella right here. So just by playing the missions, you guys can earn Commander Stormbreaker with six points.

00:23:52 Not bad. Some Forsaken chest containers, as well as a coupon for discounts on the other stuff if you feel like picking up the rest of it. You can all find that in the Armory and the Premium Shop. But this is a really, really cool looking, almost like an Ice Blade style camo for the Kansas. You got kind of like a cool magma or I'm not sure, some sort of fire or fire themed camo. I think this one's called like Blazing.

00:24:19 Oh, ja?

00:24:45 Druids are fun. The camo speaks to me on a deeper level at the moment. We'll try and go quick there so we can go back to some games, but the Dockyard for Njord is continuing. You guys can still get through there. Kalmar Tier 5 Destroyer is available for free just by playing those missions. And Njord comes with a really, really cool camo. It's a neat pan-European battleship with some serious torpedo power. Always a fan of that. For those of you that liked the Carl Johan, it's in the same...

Ranked Battles, Creatorverse und Balance Änderungen

00:25:14

00:25:14 Vain. Ranked is going to be starting up. Take a look at that if Ranked is your jam. Creatorverse is back. These are the influencers from outside of the World of Warships outside of the World of Warships community who lent their likeness, their logos, and their voices to our game. And you guys can pick these up now for Cole, as I understand it. Cole and Free XP.

00:25:40 Yeah, for a little while. And I do want to step back to the ranked battles. Oh, sure. So I believe there was one ranked battle where we had the wrong information. So I mentioned like, hey, there's no CVs in ranked. But in this one, tier, sorry, bronze is tier 8, silver is tier 9, and gold is tier 10. And for those out there at home, there are no CVs, there are no subs that are tier 9. Which means if you want to play in just tier 9.

00:26:06 No uptier, whatever, just a single experience. If you get yourself to Silver League, then you'll have a nice long time all the way till January 5th is how long this ranked battle season goes on. Just stay in Silver and you'll be able to kind of have that three-piece set that some people do like. La-di-da. Let's see here.

00:26:28 Brawls are back to Armory. There's some new stuff in the Armory. Wishing Wharf specifically is going to be arriving towards the end of the month, January 29th. Wishing Wharf is going to be Lunar New Year themed this time. There are some cool things in there as well as something that I don't think is rewards. Is it in there? Okay. Yep. Incheon. Incheon is mentioned there. We're not going to talk about Incheon. It's still under NDA, but it is going to be available in the Wishing Wharf event. So if you guys are interested.

00:26:55 And picking up Incheon. It's coming. That's where it's going to be. Russian Badger, if you guys remember, he came around last year as part of the Creatorverse. He's got some really cool things, including a really neat camo for the New Mexico, which actually turns your wake, the wake of your ship, into lobsters. It's kind of funny, actually. He came by the NA office last year. He was a very cool guy. It was nice to get to meet him. But I think bigger deal, guys, development blog. I'm going to open this up.

00:27:22 Balance changes. The balance changes from this dev blog, they went live. Whoa, that got really white all of a sudden. Huge, huge, huge balance change dev blog. I really want to stress to you folks that about a year ago, a little over a year ago, we sort of worked with the development team in the balance change department, and we all sort of agreed to periodically make some balance changes on new stuff, but also on old stuff to look at things that got power creeped or things that weren't popular anymore, things that got...

00:27:51 Maybe feel like they've been left behind in the balance department. And we've had, God, I think probably four major balance change dev blogs and groups. Would you say that's about right, Gaisu? Yeah. Four big ones. And this is definitely a big one. Some really exciting stuff here, which, again, if you're like me, it feels like the first day of school when you're going back to all your friends, but everyone's just a little different. And you find that one friend that grew three inches over the summer, and you're like, damn it. When's it going to happen to me?

00:28:19 Und dann einfach das. Ihr seid tall genug. Ich bin tall genug, ich weiß. Renown got quite a bit of a change to its main guns. Das ist cool. Ich bin ein fan von Renown. Renown ist spicy. Ja, ein paar Serious buffs zu Renown in Tier 6. Das ist cool. Colonel Bolognese. Did you say Colonel Bunyan? Colonel Bolognese. A little...

00:28:45 Buffed to the Tier VII Italian Destroyer as well. Good news, Ascans, Tier VI British Submarine Undine, and Tier VI Sturdy got buffs to their secondary shell characteristics. I know that was something you really wanted. I'm just imagining somebody on the back of the can. Excuse me, chaps! Aim lower! Alright.

00:29:10 The only time I ever see those guns used is in little meme clips where somebody pops up to shoot somebody that has 50 health left. But they make for great content. Those moments are fantastic. Belfast 43 got, I would say, actually a pretty significant buff. Kaishi was a little surprised by this one, I think. 15% increase to main battery DPM. That's pretty cool.

00:29:30 Okay, I see you Belfast43. That's pretty spicy. People used to say that 43 feels a little anemic, but I think that'll, uh... Yeah, I think that's gonna liven her up a bit.

00:29:54 I always get a little scared when people are excited to play hybrid ships, because it usually means that they're very powerful. I can see that. Because they have many options that they can use. I can see that. Okay, I'm seeing someone in the chat saying, still no Tiger 59 buff. I'm going to give an unpopular opinion. I think that Tiger 59 is actually really good. It's a cool ship. It doesn't have a lot of damage. It doesn't have a whole lot of damage output, but she's got smoke.

00:30:20 She's got radar. I think I heard Geishu squirming over there. I think Geishu is on Team Tiger 59. Are you on Team Tiger? Yeah, Tiger 59 is good. He says he's on Team Tiger. It's good, it's just not one of those ships where you're like, hold on, watch me carry the game. It's not that.

00:30:37 You can absolutely clown Destroyers with Tiger 59 and they can't do anything about it. Hold my damage record. Yeah. Some extra buffs to Dmitry Pozarski. Just a little buff to AP damage. You'll notice there is a trend of the Italian Destroyers having their emergency power consumable buffed. Meaning the engine boost that they have that's like a super engine boost. Most of them get an extension to the duration of the consumable and a buff to the reload time. So that's pretty cool.

Champagne Buff, Heezid Reload und Tulsa Dispersion

00:31:05

00:31:05 Split got a little bit of a buff to the main battery, as well as the Torpedo Reload. The Champagne! I'm a little surprised at that. At Split? Yeah. That is pretty strong. I am surprised at that. It's definitely a fun little ship. Yeah. So the Champagne. Many of you may not have it. Champagne's kind of a rare ship, but it got a main battery reload booster. How about that?

00:31:34 I think there was some puzzled cat face on that one. There was. I'm here for it. But she's good. Champagne is interesting. Champagne is a Tier VI battleship, but it's very fragile. The armor is very bad. It has six barrels of 406, which is great. It's extremely accurate. It has very good ballistics, and it has enormously high penetration. Geyshu likes to call it the Tier VI Slava.

00:32:03 And it is in that way, sort of. Boy, like, I think earlier today I was trying it out with the MBRB and I citadeled an Ipiranga, the T-Ray Pan-American battleship, at 24 kilometers. I double-sit it with six shells. And it's like, okay, that's really something. Oof. Big oof. So, um, those of you with the champagne, perhaps give it a whorehole.

00:32:29 A little buff to the main battery time on Marco Polo's main guns. Not bad. Marco Polo kind of forgotten. Dmitry Donskoy, the donkey, a little buff to its radar time. I'm a little surprised at that, but also not. It is interesting. Yeah, like the...

00:32:48 The Soviet cruisers have some really nice shell ballistics, but as a result, they don't have a ton of damage. They've got that consistency, and that's really nice. But some of the ships that just have an extreme amount of consistency, like when they have radar, they really get that pulled in a lot. But that initial line really just kind of lives around its ability to radar. So that is a nice little comfort change. It is. Here's a big one. The Heezid, the Tier IX, Japanese battleship...

00:33:16 A Japanese Dockyard Battleship. It's the one with basically 12 guns, 12 406s, and really bad dispersion. Main battery gun reload time reduced from 38 to 34. That's pretty big. I think that people like to sleep on the Heezin and kind of poo-poo it a lot because it has that Kansas style, lots of big guns, poor dispersion, poor reload. That's a pretty significant buff. I think that's worth paying attention to.

00:33:45 Shotgun. Boom. Yep. A little buff to Dallian as well. Range gets increased. That's kind of nice, to be honest with you. Range and DPM gets increased a bit. Dallian has those Russian guns, so the ballistics are still usable even at 14.1. Tulsa change to me is very big. It is. Because I remember I played Tulsa while in testing, and only having two barrels per turret, yeah, you have the output. Yeah. But there was just so often it's just whiff.

00:34:14 Ja. Wiff, wiff. Und es ist like, man... Mit Des Moines, you at least have six barrels in the front. Yeah, you have enough shells that sometimes, yeah, they're just going to kind of go wherever, but you're still going to have some consistency there. Tulsa, you've only got four in the front. Yeah, you're missing a third of the shells that are supposed to be there. Tulsa now has destroyer dispersion, so that's significant. For the record, Tiger 59 has destroyer dispersion, and it does matter.

00:34:43 Your shells go where you tell them to go. It's pretty impressive. Well, I wouldn't say Tiger 59 is Destroyer Dispersion. It has Elbing Dispersion. Oh. Elbing is like extra. Elbing is like, well, technically something like four times as accurate as a DD. Really? That much? Yeah. Damn. It's pretty gnarly. Adriatico, again, I'm surprised that, I guess because they're all different values, but Adriatico got a buff to its engine power as well.

00:35:12 A little buff to the reload time on the Tier IX Pan-European Destroyer, Lambros Katzones. I have to say that like Chaos Machine because it's Greek. My friend, Lambros Katzones, how are we doing? Get a little buff to your main battery. Ah, I see. Buff to your torpedo launcher reload. Ah, very good. Tsurugi got a little main battery reload buff as well. The HE shells now actually have the same characteristics as the AP shells.

00:35:40 Which I did not realize that prior, it did not. There are so many changes. There are many changes to Tsurugi. Tsurugi is a solid ship by itself. It is one of the only Tier 9s that have like giga guns. It overmatches 30mm with AP. Like they're four 457s, right? Guys, you help. Pat, Tsurugi has 18-inch guns, right?

00:36:07 Okay, there's only a few at Tier IX that have 18-inch guns. So it's just really fragile. Tsarugi is very, very fragile. So... When in doubt, ask chat. Indeed, when in doubt, ask chat. Moving on, Republique gets a little buff to its Sigma. That's nice. Just means that wall-eyed shot that sometimes goes off on the side a little less frequently. Yeah, I know it says to, but like...

00:36:33 Battleships that say 2, they sure as hell don't feel like it. It's because it's got a very big dispersion ellipse. So every once in a while, one of them is going to go off. That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy. So I know the difference of .1 is something that you feel more than you... Yeah. Whatever, but still, anything. Repub feels like, with what, only 8 barrels? It feels like she could definitely use that. So that's kind of cool. When you have fewer barrels, those one-offs, they hurt.

00:37:02 Jinan. Okay.

Jinan Buffs und Zao Buffs

00:37:08

00:37:08 I'm a big fan of Genon. I'm just going to throw that out there right now. And I already think it's very strong. It just got super buffed. HP Pool increased 30,700 to 32,500. That's actually kind of significant. HE Shells do more damage. Cool. They also light more fires. Yikes. Maximum, maximum torpedo damage also got buffed. These are real nice. Genon is solid. It doesn't push super well, but...

00:37:36 If you are a battleship or a cruiser, it is very hard to push into a Genon. Genon is very scary now. Yeah. I think Gaishu took out Genon earlier today and casually, what, 300k'd or so? A little bit shy of 300. Yeah, a little shy of 300 just for showing up. Why am I on stream? Why isn't Gaishu on stream? So we might, if we have time, I'll throw in a Genon game just to give you guys an idea. Like fires, 9 to 11% fire chance on something that fires that frequently.

00:38:05 It's a lot. Gaisu said something like it has 30 fires per minute now, right? If you're fully spec'd, it reaches theoretically 32 fires per minute or something. That's bananas. And then finally, Atilio Regolo also gets that nice engine power buff. It's kind of funny how they all got split up by tier because of that. And then we come to it. Chat. Zao.

00:38:29 By your powers combined, you have summoned Zao buffs. A little note from our devs here, Zao has received various buffs over time, but we continue to hear feedback from players, volunteers, and community contributors to improve her further. Based on your feedback and suggestions how to make her more comfortable to play, this is the key thing, folks. Comfort. We're widening her turret angles and adding the post-launch turning feature to her torpedoes. She got turning torps, guys. That means that her torpedo angles, her arcs, they're so much better now.

00:38:57 You can actually kite away from things and drop your torps. You can actually kite away and use all your main battery. It's amazing. It's glorious. I never thought it would happen. Question from chat is, is high sigma good or bad? The higher the number the sigma is, the more likely the shell will fall to the center of your dispersion ellipsoid. So the higher the sigma, the more accurate in general it is. Low sigma means shotgun, high sigma means sniper.

00:39:26 Und mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein, mein

00:39:48 Bungo.

00:40:13 And this line, of course, they got the same buff to their HE shell parameters as the Tsurugi did. And then we move on to some super ships. So this is scary on the Bungo line. It is a little scary, although the HE isn't super worrisome. It's those big AP shells they have that always worried me. Oh, that is true. Yeah. So, little note. I like that there are more frequently notes in the dev blogs now. I would like to appreciate that. Also good, yes. Yeah, I would like to appreciate that.

ASW Parameter Updates und Zao Gameplay

00:40:41

00:40:41 The following changes to combat instruction conditions were made in order to improve overall playing experience, specifically in situations when shooting targets that you lose spotting on or while blind firing at a target that's in smoke or behind an obstacle.

00:40:54 We're giving them some buffs in the form of emphasizing their traditional journey.

00:41:23 So, basically it means we're changing the way that the combat instructions on these ships, on some of these ships, works to be a little more specific to their style. Sure. Yeah. To wit, Satsuma. Combat instructions changed. There are, removed the current progress conditions and we added hitting enemy ship with main battery shell 8%.

00:41:52 Rather than just getting the shells around the main, the target, you have to impact. But it's been adjusted so that it should take about the same number of shots, let's say that. So you have to be good at aiming. You can't just hit around it, you have to actually hit it.

00:42:10 Ushakov, now its combat instructions give you 6% per enemy, per main battery shell hit. Not just a round, hit. And you get a small addition for receiving potential damage. That's pretty cool. Admiral Ushakov is a tank. It takes lots of damage. You will now gain progress on your combat instructions by tanking damage. Pretty dope. Now, question I have for that. Do they still lose progress over time?

00:42:39 Ja, ich kann nicht vorstellen, dass sie nicht verlieren. Aber für Admiral Ushikov, es wird viel schwerer zu verlieren. Ich denke, es wird viel schwerer zu verlieren. Ich denke, es wird viel schwerer zu verlieren. Es wird viel schwerer zu verlieren. Weil, als es etwas schüttelt, oder zu verlieren, wird es werden. Ich denke, das ist cool. Ja, okay. Ja. Hanover gets a new way to its...

00:43:07 Combat instructions where you get progress for hitting enemy ships with a main battery shell, same as the other two, but also now you get progress for hitting with secondary shells. That's not bad. That's nice. That means once you get into secondary range with your Hanover, you will start to fulfill your combat instructions faster. Klausowicz gets... Oh, sorry. Also for Hanover, the Hydro now goes out to 6km. That's almost like mini radar.

00:43:34 I'm going to check and see if it also, if the torpedo detection got buffed too. Okay, yeah, I don't know that off the top of my head. So it did not, okay. So it's the range of detecting ships on the surface. Klauswitz also gets that buff from 6 to 7 kilometers to its hydro. And Jacksonville, it's like the one nerf out of this entire dev blog. Jacksonville gets a slight nerf to its main battery range 18.2 to 17.2. Jacksonville.

00:44:03 Very strong. Very, very strong ship. Although, if you took Vigilance as a Commander skill with your new 7km Hydro with 4km Torpedo Detect, you'd actually run it out to 5km. Really? 5km Torpedo Detect. Rejoice. Yeah, that's pretty gnarly. The remaining changes are all...

00:44:25 Das war's.

00:44:53 I think the reason behind it was to... Oh, there's a little note. I will read the note. We're updating ASW parameters for several ships, matching them better with standard values for ships. We want to highlight here a change very frequently requested by our community for Battleships Massachusetts and Musashi. Based on your feedback, we're increasing the range of their depth charge airstrike. This will allow players to be more effective.

00:45:18 ...and defend better against submarines. As a tradeoff for this improvement, we're reducing the damage per bomb to keep it at a similar balance level while improving the usefulness of this armament. So, you get twice the range on your airstrikes, however, you do almost half as much damage. Ohio was already changed. Yeah, it goes out to 11 clicks. And then another big one is that the eggier and all of the...

00:45:43 Egear-related accessories. I sell Egears and Egear-related accessories. I sell Egear and Egear accessories. They all got a reduction in the number of charges. Sorry. Reduction in the number of bombs dropped when you used your airstrike from 3 to 2. However, the damage was significantly increased and the splash radius was also increased. So they dropped fewer, but now they're nukes, which is kind of cool.

00:46:11 So la-dee-da. There you go. Rejoice. Manamana. Manamana. That's all I have to say. Should we play World of Warships again? We can. Cool. Anything you want to play in particular? I think you promised to Jinan. I did. Chat. Jinan or Zao? You guys want to see the new Torp angles on the Zao? With the Wiggly Torps. With the Wiggly Torps. Alright, I'm seeing Zao. Zao, we're doing it.

00:46:39 I'm gonna use a real camo just so you guys don't have to hear the sounds. Manamana. Oh, somebody asked about the smoke timer. There was an issue with smoke where the puff that you were in would be displaying the wrong time. It would be displaying, I think, the time for the first puff laid, not the puff that you were in. That has been corrected. So with this patch.

00:47:06 So, Yeehaw, if you are a smoke ship person, then you will have more accurate smoke information. Yep. I guess I could try... I could play Janan, or I just kind of wanted to play CV. What skin paint was that super futuristic beast? That was one of the cyborg skins from a long time ago. I'll do Janan. Let's see.

00:47:36 Sure. Will you be playing Operations with Flagships? asks Yeti. Hello, Yeti. Yeah, we could do that. We could do that today. Ready? Los Cons is playing Jinan.

00:47:50 Skonts doesn't like floaty shells. This is incredible. Janan doesn't feel that floaty. I know it is, but when I played it in Ranked and stuff like that, it hasn't felt that floaty. I think there was a dev blog that we put out or whatever where the ballistics for the Anasian cruisers were made better.

00:48:19 Ich weiß nicht, ob wir jetzt gesagt haben. Ja, vielleicht. Wir haben Zeit. Jetzt müssen wir's buffen Zao's HP. Nein, wir haben das bereits gemacht. Ich weiß nicht. Am ich? Nein, ich habe 52,000 HP. Oh, nein, du bist der Special Commander. Ja, ich bin der Special Commander. Ich bin der Special Commander nicht. Ich bin der Special Commander nicht.

00:48:48 I think he's on Yamato. You're talking about... Yeah. They will play Ops and Gaishu will tell Boggy everything he's doing wrong. Oof. It's rough. Yeah, I don't know about that one. I remember on stream we got to see one of Gaishu's first experiences in Operations. It was pretty funny actually.

00:49:14 All right, guys, ready for the torp angles? So those of you who know Zao at all, let me see if I can get my hands up there. They used to be like, basically, you'd have to be broadside in order to drop torpedoes. Ready? Ah! Look! Behold my new torp angles! You can, like, be moving at someone and legitimately drop torps aggressively if you want. But more importantly, if you're kiting, you can legitimately drop torpedoes as you kite. Rejoice!

00:49:45 Yeah, those are nice Torp angles. The rear facing turret angles are also really nice. I think it's about here. I'm going to show you guys. Okay, there we go. Boop! That's a solid angle. You can really make use of that.

00:50:07 Okay, I'm gonna try and surprise one of these light cruisers with AP. And Zhao has that really nice dispersion, so I'm gonna wait for one of these. Guys, just go broadside, maybe. Guys, can 203s overmatch Minotaur nose? No? What do you mean, no? And I was ready to rejoice. No longer.

00:50:37 Well, we don't have a DD over here, so that's tough. Spotted, that sucks. I don't think anybody has anything to do with you being spotted. Detected by something. That sucks. I don't know what.

00:51:25 Oh Sepp. Sepp? Sepp has a checkmark. Sepp has a purple checkmark. Maybe I knew this already. Hello Sepp. Congratulations on becoming a Twitch Partner. There's a DD around here somewhere or something, but I don't know where that would be.

00:51:54 Let's see if we can smash this Salem from a long distance. Well, it's not him. What the hell, man? Think someone's gonna get him before my shells get there? I think they are, yeah. That's too bad.

00:52:34 How are you doing over there, Mr. Skontz? There's no forward, so... There's no forward? Nope. There's no in front of us. There's just a wall of entrenched cruiser with a... Well, the battleship's failing. Or fading, rather. That's good. Perhaps we need to become the DD. I kind of did, but there's too many of them, so fighting in smoke doesn't get us very much.

00:53:07 Look at this, I have the torp angles to actually aggressive drop, to offensive torp this genon. That's amazing. Bog's coins are minted from the sunken hulls of his many Ushakovs. You guys are rough on the Ushakovs. All I had was a run of like 20 matches where I absolutely sucked in it. I'm never gonna hear it down.

00:53:39 Do flagship ops still count toward missions like normal? I don't know. Do you? So the flagship stuff is actually event mode. I'm fairly sure. Well, maybe not because the event mode is asymmetric. So, I don't know. It's a question I don't necessarily have an answer to.

00:54:02 I mean, funktionally, I believe they're just treated as operations, so it wouldn't make sense if they do, yes. Guys, Zoutorps! Oh! I got so excited! Offensive Zoutorps! It was a thing, I was going to get my first kill with offensive Zoutorps. I need to go outside. Getting excited about offensive Zoutorping. It means I need to go outside and touch some grass.

00:54:43 Bombs are going for the Kerr first, I guess. This match is almost over. They didn't want to play, I guess. They have 50 points. This is very sad. All I wanted was to play World of Warships. I take the Hoffman. When I see the Hoffman.

00:55:14 Ich weiß, wie accurate Zao guns sind. Test ship Zao, finally out of NDA. Das stimmt. Es ist. Ich denke, ich sehe das Hoffmann bald.

00:55:40 Das wäre schön, wenn ich jetzt.

00:56:13 I don't want Hoffman to die, because the game's over. I don't think I can avoid it, though. I think we should just smash this guy. As I'm shooting the Hoffman, I would like him to go down. He's got 34k'd by that cheeky. Well, as you folks can see, the gun angles and the torpedo angles are considerably better on the Zhao. We didn't lose a single ship that match.

00:56:42 Let's rarf. Ruff. I tried. I tried. Okay, so. Let's see. Ships that got buffed. Ooh, Renown. I could play that. That's tier six. Six. Your favorite. I think.

00:57:11 I have to remember what's there. Let's see. Sadness, my dear boy. Sadness. Sadness at tier 6. Sadness and stupidity.

00:57:25 I'm not sure what that's from. Madness and stupidity? I remember I liked Visteris. Game of Thrones, I think. I'll play some Visteris. Was the Prince Venorania turrets fixed this patch? Kaishu? Yep. Kaishu knows better about bugs and patch fixes. Yes. The turrets were frequently being destroyed by Destroyer HE. That was unfortunate. It has been fixed. Hmm.

00:57:53 Bogsy, I'll have the chinchilla. Forrester, Super Troopers. I'm picking it up. Yeah, Chief, maybe I'll have a chinchilla. What's the turn time on these? Alright. Did the weird Montana sit bug ever get fixed? I don't know what that is.

00:58:18 I have no idea what that is. I forget that there's the flag now, the health flag. Oh yeah. That's right, there's also Champagne and there's Heazen. Those are pretty strong ones to play. They have a nice buff. Want to see some Champagne? Champagne? Let's tier 8.

00:58:38 All right, we're loading it at your six. Do some smashing. Any chance for the mission in subs operation to come back? He read a SEP comment one step closer to CC. Sorry, I was constantly interrupting. So the operation for submarines was not originally intended to stay around as an operation. Community, us in community, we did actually make an argument. Please, please, please let it stick around.

00:59:06 But that was not initially part of the plan, and unfortunately it has not been available for a while since the ability to select operations is not around. So hopefully, fingers crossed, if you queue up in a sub, you could get the sub operation. That'd be super cool if you don't have anything to announce on that. But it would be nice.

00:59:29 I love the Renown and the Repulse. Just huge fan. Really, really like everything about it. I just think they're very cool looking ships. I was waiting a long time for these to get put in. They got the fun little Wiggletorps. Those are great.

00:59:54 Do they fix anything? Yeah, we fix quite a bit. Check the patch notes. Yes, sir, we do. Did the bug get fixed where I have to throw my monitor at my dog every time I see a sub? Uh, no, but... I would say you need to call somebody about that one. Let's see, somebody needs to call somebody on you about that one. Please see a doctor if you end up suplexing your monitor more than twice a day.

01:00:29 An Acosta kommen über. Das ist schön.

01:00:35 Last battle which you played shows disbalance of matchmaking. Two teams has a huge difference with skill and experience. That's why it finished so fast. Are you going to do something about this problem? We do not. Our matchmaker has absolutely nothing to do with skill level. It is random. Which means that by the nature of randomness, sometimes there will be a disparity in the matchmaker in terms of skill and experience. We do not want to have a matchmaker.

01:01:04 That is based on skill. We don't want to. It brings with it a lot of problems that you may not realize. It is random, which means that most of the time, teams will be relatively balanced, but sometimes they will be lopsided. It's just the nature of random.

01:01:27 Yeah, there's a fairly long debate in the Discord about skill-based matchmaker versus randoms. No system is perfect. Every system has its ups and downs. But one thing that is very nice about random matchmaking is that you are consistently given a different experience. Whereas in a skill-based situation, you'll tend to rise to your level of skill and then you will consistently experience that over and over and over again.

01:01:56 Until you either improve or, well, not improve. Because you have risen to your level of skill. Whereas random matchmaking will give you anything. It could be the hardest game you've ever played. It could be the easiest game you've ever played. You have no idea because it's just, it's coming at you. I had not considered it that way.

01:02:16 Well, um, there's a fair amount, having worked at Wargaming for a while, there's a fair amount of kind of Wargaming mentality, I guess, that I feel like aligns with how games were back in the 90s. And, uh, one of the nice things about matchmaking in the 90s, you would go to somebody's server, not because the game owns servers, because they didn't, people would just turn on a server for their computer and they would host. Sure. And then you got what you got.

01:02:44 There could be... It could be the hardest match of your life, it could be the easiest match of your life. And the difference being that if, like, you found a server that you just genuinely could not compete on, you could leave and go find a different one. Whereas nowadays, you hit a button and the button makes the game. So you have a little less control. Well, you have a lot less control in that sense. Although technically, you do have the ability to...

01:03:11 Das stimmt. Das stimmt. Das stimmt. Das stimmt.

01:03:39 You and other folks that want to play that game show up 7 o'clock on a Wednesday and play for an hour or two. And then 7 o'clock the next Wednesday, play for an hour or two. One of the best ways to say, hey guys, we've come up with the bestest, coolest, most awesome-tastic way that you could play this game ever is to genuinely drum up support by getting people to show up and play the game that way over and over and over again. So it's...

01:04:07 A really good way to make the point is to show that it works. Let's see. So they're starting to fade back, so I think I gotta push more aggressively here. Maybe I can find the Z. That I don't know, though.

Überarbeitung älterer Schiffslinien und Schiffsbalance

01:04:34

01:04:34 Will older ship lines be reworked to be up to date with newer lines? So a lot of the older lines are still fully functional, people play them every day. There are some ships that folks will say need help, like literally we have Zao buffs, but you'll still see people playing really every line, every tech tree line in the game, I still see from time to time. There's some that folks play more than others, but...

01:05:02 If you have a specific ship that you want to see a specific change to, we have a section in our Discord which is about ship suggestions for ships. Specific balancing ideas. Ooh, I might be able to juke that. Yeah, okay. Can we fight Kalbar? Maybe.

01:05:31 Ich meine, wir haben ein whole bunch von uns und nicht viele von ihnen, so... woher ist das?

01:05:38 I just want to hit the damn Galicia! You're tearing me apart, Galicia! Anybody? No? Okay, I think it's funny. Sorry, I don't know the reference. It is The Room. It's a very bad movie. Yeah, that one I have avoided because everybody says it's terrible. Yes, that is what's delightful about it is how terrible it is. Sometimes things can be so bad that they're good. Oh, I got you!

01:06:08 Oh, hi Mark! So, that's not good. I think I'm getting shot in the face by the German demon. Which means he might be out of smoke soon if I don't get wrecked. But I really need to make this dude go away. Well, he might actually just run out of my gun range away.

01:06:38 Ja, die Matchmaker... Do you know how much it'll cost to get Utrecht? There's a question in chat. I don't off the top of my head. You mean money-wise? I'm pretty sure that's what they meant. I do not know off the top of my head.

01:07:16 I would be in trouble if I guessed. Oh. Well, sorry. We don't know off the top of our head. Sorry. I haven't exactly put it into money terms yet.

01:07:31 You cannot get Utrecht for free until it comes into the Tech Tree, though. Right now it's in Early Access, so it is still... It will cost real... Sorry. It will cost real money to acquire it early. Jarsfeld, however, can be earned completely for free. Which is cool. Kelmar is opening up. Yay! I got him!

01:08:00 All right. That probably kills us. I think that salvo is going to be good. It was good, but we are dark. Pretty spicy. I'm able to get out here. I don't think I can. Oh, I completely missed it. It would be hilarious if I could. That's amazing. This is incredible. Rejoice. Just missed. Straight up. Missed. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

01:08:29 I'm turning full broadside just so that I can... I am dark. Interesting. Also, I'm shooting AP for some reason. Admiral Raven, hello. Happy New Year. One of our NACCs from down under.

01:08:53 Timezones are sadness.

01:09:11 Timezones are sadness. They are. Timezones are sadness. There's too much math to constantly do, especially when it crosses the days. It just feels like heresy. Would you prefer that the earth would be flat? I would just prefer that the math was easier. But if I was like, well, you know, Ascons, there's some literature I have that might be very interesting to you about flat earth. Have you heard of this?

01:09:36 Did you see the video where some Flat Earth guys very reasonably were like, well, we should probably put this to the test rather than just endlessly talk about it like everybody seems to. So they set up a scientific test specifically to prove that the Earth was flat. And in the midst of their tests on camera, they determined that no, the Earth was in fact round.

01:10:02 Oh Gott, I love the Renown!

01:10:30 I guess we're losing. Womp womp. Yes, we are losing. I don't see this one working out. This is why you don't stream WoWs on Wednesdays? What? What does that mean? Probably the viewers are all stolen, so it would affect your average viewer metrics. Oh!

01:10:47 Yeah, I'm talking about Flatter it. Well, I'm assuming that's not what Stats is. Flatter it is why you don't stream on Wednesdays. Hello, Stats Bloke. The Bloke of Stats, nice to see you. I found in Brain and Daniel Rusev's video about 2024, I was reminded of a very funny stream where you wear, you wear, well, you wore a Cthulhu hat.

Port Slots als Belohnung und Operations mit Flaggschiffen

01:11:10

01:11:10 Sorry, not a Cthulhu full-on knitted face mask. It was glorious. That gave me a very nice chuckle. What's the deal with all the port slots as rewards lately? There have been a lot of requests for port slots. Folks that are free-to-play players. Or, you know, casual spend players, I'll say.

01:11:33 Wow, I just got Fubuki'd hard. I had no idea he was up here.

01:12:00 I mean, we have two ships and they have nine, so I think it's done. I was all ready to duel a Poltava and a Koenig with my torpedoes. I was like, I'm going to make this happen. It's going to make a great chat moment. And then I got fubukied. Boom. Getting fubukied sounds like what happens when you go to a sushi restaurant and you order way more sushi than you can actually eat. And so they're like, sorry, if you order more sushi than you can eat, we get to throw it at you before.

01:12:28 We call it Fubuki.

01:12:34 Lol. Well, that sucked. Actually, that was pretty good. 135. What'd you get? Let's compare. What, in terms of damage? Yeah. Yeah, me and my little DD were much lower. I think I had like 17. Aww. So, I screened. Sag. Okay. There were two DDs. Took almost all the health off of one and ended up getting almost all the health off the other one. Very nice. And I didn't make it. Didn't make it. We had to leave him behind, guys. Should we perhaps play...

01:13:03 Operations with Flagships. Sure. Okay. Let me go ahead and select it. And I think there are some folks in chat that want to take part in it. Chat, who would like to join us for Operations with Flagships? All you have to do is send me on the NA server. Send me, Bogsy, a direct message in port, B-O-G-G-Z-Y. I'll invite you to the division. We will game. We're gaming.

01:13:37 I don't remember what's a good ship for this mode. Do you? Well, if we play tier 10s, if you're playing a battleship, typically you're going to want something with secondaries because it's going to turn on the fire hose and secondary down the bots. So what you're saying is I want to play the growth of Kurfürst? Kurfürst is good. Schleifen's probably better.

01:14:01 Aber es ist auf dich. Oh, ich will die Grosse Curve. Ja, ich will. Du bist okay. Du bist so kind zu mir, Skont. Ja, wenn du für ein Kruiser bist, du willst wirklich etwas, das kann eine Verkaufung sein, oder sich selbst... ...undetected, vielleicht. Wenn du einen Schraub hast, wenn du ein Schraub hast, das wäre eine schlechte Idee. Skont, ich habe etwas Schraubes.

01:14:27 I think that everybody hates me because nobody has sent me a message in port asking to play Operations with me. No. There are 3.3 thousand people watching and not a single direct message has entered my port. Well, if you want to play some Operations with us, you gotta message the Boxster. If there was something about me... Oh, it's Admiral Raven. Inviting. If there was something repellent about me, you would tell me, right?

01:14:57 You do not currently smell. That's nice of you. Two in. Oh, here comes three. Trapper, thank you. Alright, we've got Admiral Raven on his NA account. We've got Denryu. And just invited Trapper. Oh, here we go. Azerfire, thank you.

01:15:15 Okay, now I feel like people actually care. This is amazing. Alright, guys. We'll bring you all in for one round, and then we'll bring in some other folks maybe for a second round. Oh, there's Grant Y! We'll get you next time, Grant Y, I promise. Okay, guys. I will play Carrier. It's going to need to be Tier 9 or Tier 10 at this point. Looks like there are some limitations.

01:15:39 Bogsy, you have an aversion to skill-based matchmaking. That's a natural repellent. Ooh. Shots fired. Yeah, I think that in World of Warships, skill-based matchmaking doesn't necessarily... I don't think that this would be a positive for random battles. The best... If you really enjoy skill-based matchmaking, and it is...

01:16:03 Absolutely a thing that exists out there in the gaming marketplace, etc. Clan Battles. I would highly encourage you to play Clan Battles. It's not going to be an individual representation of your personal skill. It's going to be a representation of what the team can do. The team is going to face other teams. If they win, it's going to go up and face stronger teams. If you lose, it's going to go down and face weaker teams. Eventually, you're going to hit that point.

01:16:28 Where you're facing teams and you're winning as much as you're losing. You're basically going to be holding position. And that's okay. You will have found this is my skill bracket. This is where I can hang out. This is where I can expect I'm going to give as good as I get.

01:16:42 I do understand that when you get there and you play there for a day, two days, a week, two weeks, that typically is where people kind of stop because it's nice, it's fun, but people tend to play clan battles to get as high as they can up the ladder and once they stop moving on the ladder they tend to stop. That is an aspect that can appear in other games where basically as you play in a skill-based matchmaker,

01:17:11 Only option. You rise to the level of your capability and then you just kind of feel stuck and every game is try hard. Whereas for us with Random Matchmaker, some games are the easiest games of your life. Some games are the hardest. A lot of them are in between. You never really know what's going to happen and you see some weird stuff. Some of it extremely like, wow, how the hell did that work? That was amazing. Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you. Rawr. Very nice of you. Well, I have to...

01:17:37 Oh, I have a zero point commander. I shouldn't have clicked the button. Zero problem. Yeah, no problem, right?

01:17:46 We got a whole bunch of people. I was thinking it was going to take longer. It took a minute, but then everybody saw, I think, the pain in my voice, and they were like, we should help the Boggy. Somebody was saying, skill-based matchmaker means your win rate will go to 50-50, just like everyone else. In effect, yes, because you will find a place where you win as much as you lose, but that also means that something else is going to form.

01:18:10 Something else is going to inform where your skill level actually is. So typically in like a skill-based matchmaker, there might be an elo rating or a skill rating or something. Maybe a rank, you know, your platinum, somebody else's diamond, somebody else's gold, like whatever that's going to reflect it. But it all amounts to the same thing. I let the Beacons of Gondor, I was just waiting for somebody to come help.

01:18:33 I always find it very funny when people complain about the perceived skill level of players in WoWs, especially once they get really good themselves, and then they just really get angry at the players. It's like, I was really bad at World of Warships for like two years. It took a while for me to get good. Now I'm pretty darn good. I meme around a lot, but like, I'm up there.

01:19:02 But it took a long time. And it also took me really wanting to get better. I was like, I would like to play competitively. I would like to get better. I don't want to just play casually. So it took a fair chunk of effort for me. And most people don't make that. So I don't know. I always find it funny where it's like people get angry at their perception of the player base. It's like, who cares? It's fine. It's a game.

01:19:30 Some people are going to be good, some people are going to be bad. Let it be. Wait, I was singing Let It Be with the tune of Let It Go. Oops. Let it go, let it go.

01:19:48 Super, buddy. You gotta be... Try to be a little nicer, friend. Wait. What's happening? The guy in chat who could be nicer. Ooh. Kapla. Kapla. I think Kato's gonna go down at some point. Maybe. Yes, we also need bad players so that we can dev strike them. That is correct.

01:20:13 Bad players often end up as highlight reels. And we must have this. It's very sad. For the good of humanity, we require potatoes.

01:20:29 Oh, come on. So that one's gone. Yay! What else? Then there's going to be... So in this, there will be... This is Raptor Rescue. There's going to be a CV down here. There'll be a CV as well over on the one line later on, but not exactly sure how that's going to manifest because they can do some different things. Although usually I think the CV's up here. Raptor Rescue is one of the few operations.

01:20:56 Maybe there's several, but one of the few operations that has multiple different spawn patterns. So we could end up having ships coming from a variety of different directions and it ends up being dynamic to each play of the map. I found a flagship. Oh really? Yeah, it's a Klaus Fitz. It's got 170,000 HP. So what does it show? Does it show for Torps or Fire? That's right, I forgot. I think it's Fire. Okay.

01:21:25 Oh, okay, that's right. Thank you, Mr. Shu. Give my regards to Mrs. Shu. Gotta laugh at your own jokes, guys, otherwise nobody will. It's the secret. Uh, incendiary means what, Geishu? It sets more fires on me. And I know what it means literally. It doesn't mean in terms of... You know. Am I giving Geishu too hard of a time, Wisconsin?

01:21:58 Will you tell me if I am? Uh... No, I'm just... Autopilot is a gem sometimes. Alright. Is this the patch with the 7km Hydro nonsense? I love that reaction. Back in my day, Hydroacoustic Search went to 5.5 and we liked it. The Geishu sigh.

01:22:25 Hey kids with this seven kilometer. I don't know what's going on around here. I don't recognize anything. There we go. Okay. Never grow up chat. That's the key to youthful hair. Never grow up.

01:22:50 Oh, I could take some smoke from Azerfire here. I could sit here and enjoy my secondaries. Power creep is a thing. Yes, it is. Well, when you go into higher tiers, the higher tiers tend to be more powerful. So, it's just that. Per to normal. Ooh, secondary battery reload time reduced. Let's go. Do I have to heal through this? Yeah, I do.

01:23:21 I feel like anybody is killing the Klauswitz. Damn it. Maybe I should kill the Klauswitz. Klauswitz is not behind a rock. That was a map icon. Got some damage. Needed to drop a little earlier.

01:23:37 I think my secondaries really aren't shooting that fast. It's a little distressing. I just want to heal so I don't die. When you deliberately misunderstand common terms. Well, in terms of power creep, power creep is pretty directly what it is. Yeah, wait, who's missing common terms? What? For those that don't know what power creep is, it is the idea that...

01:24:03 The new stuff tends to be more powerful than the old stuff, so you are constantly looking to get the new stuff. Newer and newer and newer, bigger and better and bigger and better, etc. I think that it means also the average power level across multiple ships or what have you, the average power level goes up as new things that are more powerful get introduced. Therefore, the things that were early in the development cycle become worse and worse over time as the average power level of new things goes up.

Power Creep, Operation Raptor Rescue und Boat Breakdown

01:24:32

01:24:32 Ja, ich denke eigentlich, wir haben eine sehr gute Arbeit, um mit Power Creep zu tun. Ja, Montana und Yamada sind die zwei earliesten Battleship Tech-Tree-Line. Sie sind auch noch zwei der besten Battleships. Die neue Sachen ist mehr Powerful als die alten Sachen. Und ja, wir haben viele alten Sachen, die immer noch mehr Powerful wird, weil es sehr Powerful ist, obwohl es noch mehr Powerful ist. So, ich denke, wir haben eine sehr gute Arbeit, um...

01:25:00 I need help with this Kitakami. Kitakazi, sorry. Maybe I'll be okay. Maybe I'll be okay. You need help with this Kitakami? Well, I don't... Kitakami. Kitakazi, the DD. Yeah, I know. This is funny. Maybe we'll be alright here. Another... Another... What's it?

01:25:24 Oh, ich habe zwei Fires in mir. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen. Ich habe einen.

01:25:41 Back out for some DDs. Power Creep, for instance, explains why the Des Moines is considered such a terrible ship. Ah, I see what you did there. Des Moines is a good ship. Des Moines is an amazing ship. If Sep is still in the chat, Sep will explain to you why Des Moines is the worst ship ever.

01:26:00 So, Montana ist still a commonly used ship. I don't see as many Conquerors of late, but Conqueror is considered a pretty kickin' ship. Yep. Oh, I'm gonna beach. Why? Cause I'm a dum-dum. I might be dead. This is great sadness. Azer, Azer's trying to lay a smoke. Keep him out of, uh... Cause he's a hero, but I think I might be in deep trouble.

01:26:28 One other thing to point out about the operations with flag chips These are actually intended to be like a greater challenge than normal So if you just want to play operations, operations are there, that's totally okay This is kind of like operations plus in a sense This is an event mode, I should have made that clear earlier that this is not just regular operations This is an actual event mode No! No!

01:26:53 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There is, I think, a point in this where you can heal. What? Yeah, if you stick to the little convoy or whatever ships, at some point they stop and they do a heal. Head to the rendezvous point. So, you may yet survive this. I think I may have to do the remainder of this mansion backwards. Thoughts? I think I am probably going to lose the hull.

01:27:24 I'm really, really, really badly burned! Help!

01:27:53 The ship horn doesn't sound anymore. Oh, that's brutal. Oh, hello. Hello there. Yes, chat would like to point out that the green circle is the heel. The green circle heel? Be in the green circle. Be of the green circle, but not be in the green circle.

01:28:23 Well we haven't lost anybody yet, that's pretty good.

01:28:47 Folks, I'm going to just throw it out there and say that I think we're doing fantastic. I think we just eat the one we do. Torp. Oh. Alright, so CV's down. Cool. Support ships look like they're pretty happening. And we've got a Libertad that is leading the way over to the Extract. So you have to get to this Exfil. Oh, okay. Sooner than Ranger gets there. So you can't just hide behind Ranger the whole time. I'm going to let the Liberty just push me.

01:29:23 Oh, ja, das war ich. Congrats.

01:29:37 Sorry, you won the raffle and then we all went on vacation. Apologies for the delay. Okay, so we've got yet another super ship. The Satsuma Plus needs to be lit on fire because it's critically weak to fire. And while it's still around, all of its friends do all the fire damages. We were off the map. That's cool.

01:30:00 So maybe we can get a fire here. Bogsy never sent my ship. Scuba Steve, what are you talking about? No fire for me. Send me a message on Discord. Let's discuss. If I missed something that you won. Scuba Steve. So you can brute force down the super ships. But they have a weakness. And this one's weakness is going to be fire. Is it Iocane Powder?

01:30:27 There was someone that was saying that it didn't actually matter which cup he put it in because when he gave it to him, smell this, but don't like smell this or whatever, that he inhaled it and it killed him that way. Oh, so he didn't have to put it in the cup. Yeah, that could be.

01:30:50 I never thought of that. No, I didn't either, that's why I mentioned it. Alright, so Satsuma's down. Still have some buff icons there.

01:31:02 But, uh, hopefully it'll be okay. Yeah, I guess that is a good point. Inhale this, but don't touch. It's like, if you're smelling it, or not smelling it, that means you are inhaling parts of it. Derp. Yeah. Like, the do not touch part is just like a false fly. It's like a red herring. Like, don't touch it. At which point then he just BS's for a while until the guy falls over. Yeah. Which could be a good idea. I mean...

01:31:29 Could absolutely work that way. That would be pretty funny if William Goldberg, who I think is long dead, and Carl Reiner, who... Well, we'll just leave it at that. If at some point one of them were like, oh yeah, he was dead as soon as he took a sniff. They're like, yeah, that makes sense. Inconceivable! Yep. Wait till I get going! Where were they? Oh yeah, Australia.

01:32:00 I am not a great fool. You would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

01:32:07 Good thing is average skill level should raise as the game gets older. It does. Absolutely does. HMS Inconceivable. There it is. There's one thing that people will say like, hey, there are more blowouts or whatever. Meaning you load into a random battle and it suddenly sharply goes one way or the other. That can happen even in game with no super unicums, no extremely high end players. Because the player base on whole has gotten better.

01:32:34 70% winrate players.

01:33:03 they do exist you are in the room with one of them right now guys you are you a 70% win rate player higher than 70

01:33:17 Give me your fears, GFC. Buggy is sad. Nah, that's okay. My last thing to accomplish in Warships is get 2100 PR. I was at like 2080 the other day and then Wayaki, who runs WoW's numbers, he did some sort of update that dropped to like 2065. I was like, no!

01:33:46 Oh, no! Azurfire, we lost you to fire. It's okay. Is it? Yep. Oh. It's not a condition that we have everybody live. I see. Some of you may die. Yes. Some of you may die. What's that from? But that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Oh, is it?

01:34:10 Some of you may die. That was John Lithgow, who did the Prince, right? Mm-hmm. Prince Bowl Cut, whatever his name was. The little short dude, yeah. Yeah. You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong.

01:34:26 So I clearly cannot choose the one in front of you. You've made your choice then. Not remotely!

01:34:56 Das ist wirklich ein great scene. Ich meine, die whole movie war excellent. Ja. Ich glaube, in 2020 oder was das? A lot of the actors, the cast oder was das? Oh, did they? To make a remake version, almost. They did it from home. Ja, ja. A lot of guest people shot the Screaming Eel scene. Somebody fell off the bed. The Shrieking Eel. You know what that sound is, Highness? Those are the Shrieking Eels.

01:35:27 Anybody want a peanut? Poor Andre the Giant. Apparently his... Alright, five stars. Ta-da! I'm impressed. Folks, that was delightful. Thank you very much for helping. It's not every day that I get 400,000 damage, but... Sweet.

01:35:49 Folks, thank you very much for joining us. I think we're going to return to Random Battles. Regularly scheduled program. Regularly scheduled program. But that was a lot of fun. If you guys found that interesting, you guys should go try that out now. You do not need a division of your own. You can just queue into it. Right? Yeah.

01:36:09 There's Operations, there's Operations with Flagships. So again, it's kind of like, it's sort of like Operations Plus. It's intended to have a little more difficulty than standard Operations would. Operations Plus. I like that. Operations Plus. It's time without a subscription.

01:36:29 Well, we need two things. We need to play another game. You left the dev. Oh, I didn't mean to. I meant to just... Damn it, Boggy. Damn it, Boggy.

01:36:44 I sell Grosser Kerfers, Grosser Kerfers accessories. Um, that one got a Chocolata Gaiju. He doesn't like the old Prospector voice, but Hank, he'll take. He'll cross over when. During the White Elephant Exchange, I gave out, I think, some Butane. So, there's that. I sell Butane accessories. I want to play a super ship. We have a threat of snow coming, so I got people four to a fire. I'm playing Ushakov. You gonna Ushakov? I'm gonna Ushakov it up.

01:37:14 I get the HP flag now. I can't wait. This is incredible. Okay. Quick. Change your slot 5 to the Torpedo mod. Embrace the Hydro. No. I don't have Hydro. No. Never. I have the camo I'm wearing on my Ushakov. Looks like the inside of a party bus from 1972. Pretty cool. You guys will see it in a second.

01:37:43 Um, bleh. What were we talking about? Oh, we need a boat for Boat Breakdown next week. And if it's a particular type of boat, we might even find a CC to come on and do Boat Breakdown for us. Aww. Private the Cat saved me. What? Private the Cat saved me. Thank you, Private the Cat. Private the Cat. Aw. That was very nice of Private the Cat. Yay. Okay, we need... Please throw out some options into the chat for...

01:38:11 was we should do a Boat Breakdown of next week. Maybe we'll find a CC to do it for you. Sevastopol. Sevastopol. I'm sorry. Give me a ship. I'll find some poor sucker to play. I'll find some sucker to do it for you.

01:38:27 Quick to the Alliance. Quick to the Alliance. Get a commie with no torps. Get out of here. Mikasa, Gearing, Kronstadt, Jinan, Erie. No. Maine. Okay. Maine's cool. Wisconsin. Might be able to open the door now. We should get potato quality to come undue to Wisconsin. Schlieffen, Fuso, Karno, Cecilia. He's warm. Gnaizenow. That's interesting. Legmod Clever. That's also interesting.

01:38:57 I enjoyed playing Legmod, Kled, and Clan Battles. I feel like my beard is getting grayer. It's pretty nice. Beard is getting grayer? Yes. Well, maybe it's because you're blonde. That's possible. Brianna says I'm not blonde anymore. Chat, is Boggy blonde? You must help us decide this.

01:39:22 Did you say no? You've got some variants going on, but I mean, I wouldn't classify you as brown-haired. There's a lot of no in the chat. Oh, well, they said no. Silverblonde, ban that guy. I'm kidding, don't ban that guy. It was a joke. Salt and pepper. I have 142,000 HP, by the way.

01:39:50 I probably could get even more if I took the survivability expert. Well, good. There's a U4501, and hopefully he'll be torping you. And he will definitely be torping me. And I will lull. Brillo pad blonde. You guys are savage, you know that? Brillo pad, what? Brillo pad is like a scrubby pad made of coarse gray hair. What? Isn't it?

01:40:19 No, that's steel wool. Abrilipad is something similar to that. Abrilipad is basically steel wool that's not made out of steel. Oh. Right, Chet? Oof. Super ships are stronger than tier 10. About one tier.

01:40:38 I can't believe it's not called Tier 11. Super ships, you actually don't have to research by themselves. You get access to them by researching the Tier 10 that precedes them. And then they are available for a large slug of credits. But you do not have to research them after you have researched the Tier 10. I hope these are dive bombers and not skip bombers. Okay.

01:41:05 I think he was trying to curl, but nah, that wasn't gonna work. Pape for effort, though. Let's see, go dark here. Somebody called this the buttcrack map. Low. Round two. That was also very early.

01:41:28 Hey, look at that. My meter got, my combat instructions meter got charged up by the, uh, by somebody missing me from potential damage. That's cool. Brillo pads are made out of steel wool, but also have soap in them. Ooh. This is, this is high-end content right here, chat. We're talking about Brillo pads. We should talk about Brill cream. See you, Lou. After that. Thanks for hanging out.

01:41:59 Let's see, Bazan with the Salem, working on a Yamagiri. What are combat instructions? Ooh, I'm sleeping. The Iron Menace, great question. Combat instructions are special abilities. You can sort of think about them like a consumable, like radar or a heal or some of the other consumable abilities that you have in battle. Except combat instructions are ones that have to be like charged up.

01:42:26 You don't just start with them, you kind of have to earn them as the game goes on. Combat instructions can have different effects, and they can be charged up in different ways.

01:42:38 For example, the Ushakov, once your combat instructions are ready and charged up and ready to use, they give you the ability to take one super accurate salvo from the main battery, which is pretty cool. Satsuma does the same thing. Ushakov charges up that. You can see it down here. It's the F key. Sometimes people call it the fun button or the funny button.

01:43:02 It charges up for the Ushakov by landing main battery shell hits or by taking potential damage. The combat instructions will have a gameplay component with them that sort of defines almost how the ship is going to want to play. So ideally the combat instructions are going to work really well with the intended concept of what you're going to do in the ship.

01:43:35 So since Ushakov likes to tank damage, you are able to charge it up by taking potential damage, thus encouraging you to get shot at, so to speak.

01:43:49 Since it's a little wall-eyed with its accuracy. There I got. I landed three shells, did damage from two of them. I got a little bit of a boost, but realistically I need people to shoot at me. There is something in B already. Yeah, it's the DD. I went over to this flank. The other DD just yellowed it up mid. That's what that is. This does not make me rejoice. Miss Schlieffen is aggressivo. Ooh, I think he's getting torped to his doom.

01:44:24 I can head over and work on the Yu Yang, although looks like somebody just got slammed. Hm? It seemed like much oof was had by the Yu Yang. Ah, my favorite Sabrina Carpenter song, by the way, is that Mi Aggressivo. What? Oh, I don't know that one. The Russian Boxer?

01:44:50 When are we getting a Bogsy commander? A Bogsy skin for that map. Bogsy skin? Well, I'd like to keep my skin. I think that the WoWs team has expressed some interest in generating a Bogsy commander at some point. So I think that that is something that you guys could probably see at some point. Perhaps even in 2025.

01:45:16 But I don't know. I don't know. It's one of those things where I can't really suggest it, because... You can. Aww. To me, it's like, being made into a commander is kind of like a reward, or an award. Sort of like, you know what y'all should do? You guys should honor me. Praise me. By putting me in the game. Praise him! Praise him!

01:45:43 There will be much rejoicing. Well done, Eskons. There is a Houten Leo coming in up the middle now. Well, he's currently coated with ice, so maybe if I light him on fire, it'll make him feel better. Teehee. I see what you did there. Not happy about it, but I see what you did.

01:46:06 I hear you'll be a dad soon, so you must become one with the dad joke. I will. I'm going to be a dad probably next month. That's scary. I will be taking a few months of paternity leave at the same time. You will be missed. You guys will not see me for a little while. So he kind of got hell dunked over on the other flank.

01:46:35 It's tough times, man. It's rough. Yeah.

01:46:40 Well, I am now in the sights of this, uh, oh my god, that, oh my lord, that's so many torpedoes. Do I dodge them all? I think I does. Oh, maybe I take one. Ah, remember the day, remember the, the, that time when I ate every torpedo ever in the Ushakov because I'm a Ding Dong? Not today, Satan. I dodged them all.

01:47:07 No big deal. No, no, no, no, no. I don't think I've ever remembered that happening. The vacuuming. The vacuuming? Yeah. Oh. Usually, um, the folks that come and clean, they do the cleaning stuff and then they peace out. I guess it's vacuum day. I don't know.

01:47:26 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I wanna kill this guy. I wanna kill him. I wanna kill him real bad. So, how is it, how is, uh, how are things over there? Uh, not great, Bob. It's not great. We're gonna, we're gonna take a little damage here. But, that's okay. Why can I not, why, why can I not absolutely smash the Schlieffen? Surely. There we go. Okay. We're gaming.

01:47:55 oh remember when I was like torpedos shut up guys you it's five right oh my god there's torpedoes on the other side too that was a lot of torpedos who's in the middle dropping torps on me oh is the cv that's neat love that I think the sub was over there that's fun I'd be able to run him down oh anhydr is about to go out man

01:48:29 Oh, mein Game froze for a second. I had an enormous amount of HP. Typically I still do, actually. You got a Hanover that's gonna be making...

01:48:59 Ah! Ah, ich habe 500 HP in mein Gigantic Soviet Supership. Ich bounce 500 mm shells von der Hanover und dann die zu a secondary von der Hanover.

01:49:29 Like, if you don't know the game, you won't understand at all why that's funny. But if you know the game at all, you're like, Foxy sucks.

01:49:42 Is 90k in a super ship good? Eh, not really. But that's kind of tough when you're in front of a torpedo destroyer, a U-4501, and there's a carrier on you. It's like three things you really can't do anything about. You do the best you can. Your job is to blow up cruisers and other battleships and tank damage. That's what your job is. That's too bad.

01:50:11 Let's see. I might be able to excel out of this. I'm not sure. I will say that was pretty funny. I dodged all those torpedoes gloriously and then died to a second wall of them. Ooh, that's going to hurt. George Hoffman is a torpedo boat, so...

01:50:31 So, I need to go after the sub. I really like getting subkills. What? I actually hope that CS team pings us in the morning like, Gentlemen, would you like to say something about this? Yeah, that's definitely happening.

01:51:07 All of them? Nah. This is... This is false. This is wrong. Well, we might be able to get out of here. Come on. Come on. Just want to go after the sub. Just want to go after the sub. That U4501, man, she is... Sneaky. She is super sneaky. Can we swing out? Yeah, we do. It's fine. So...

01:51:36 Guess what, Shinano? That was pretty standard there. Someone said that you're sharking around. You do like that. Yeah, U4501 is definitely a shark. There's no question about that. He's not shooting at me there. No, hell no. Yeah, U4501 is probably able to, you know, hard outrun or whatever, but...

01:52:00 I think the bigger question is if he's running out of depth time soon. Ooh, Ushakov and Satsuma. I don't know. I actually don't know that Satsuma is pronounced that way. It's a Satsuma. I could see it being pronounced Satsuma. Satsuma. It's not a Suma. It's not a Satsuma.

01:52:28 Stripwaffel, Olebollen, and Appelflap are three Dutch destroyers. Appelflap? That's got to be a joke, right? Olebollen. Oh, damn, Columbo. Oh, damn. Damn, Daniel. Get him. So I know he outruns me on like a straightaway or whatever, but I got two minutes and 48 seconds, and I have no interest in anything else on this map. Wait, he outruns you underwater? I thought you 4501 was slower underwater.

01:52:57 Es ist fester unter water, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh, sloh,

01:53:18 Ah, es steht nicht unter dem Wasser. Ich halte pace, aber ich halte mich. Wie lange dauert ihr Hydro? 2 Minuten 12 Sekunden. Das heißt, er wird sofort zu der surface sehr schnell. Und wenn er mich nicht mehr tut mir, er wird nicht mehr tun, denn er ist in drei klicks. Okay, so er wird getrennt hier. Oh, das war ein Direkt-Hit. Er ist Flood, kann er nicht reparieren. Ich weiß nicht, es wird ihn. Es wird ihn ja. Es wird?

01:53:45 There's an engine slowing effect. Look at that. He's... He's giving off smoke underwater. Uh, oil. So there's an oil leak. Yeah, I know that the oil leak will make little puddles, but this one's a continuous trail. Because he's spotted? Wow. Okay. Guess what, chat? I learned them today. Honk.

01:54:12 Get him, Ascons. Shark around to get him. So it'll take a while, but once his damage con is down, then I know I have to go back, but I'm trying to be cognizant of the planes in the south. I think the Columbo gets him. Alright, so damage con, 524.

01:54:42 Ich möchte die eigentlichen, aber es ist etwas, als in Italien, das immer mich hat. Tier 6, Italien, B.B. Andrea Doria. Spell es falsch. Es soll geschrieben, Andrea Doria. Oh. Hmm. Right, als in, like, Coast of Gold, right? Oder Gold.

01:54:59 So you got a fire Stick longer, don't they? Yeah, it burns like a BB Trying to... I mean, he's probably just still straight lining, right? You are still hitting him, which is kind of crazy I'm just shooting where the straight line would go

01:55:26 This is called using your minimap chat. Yeah, you are still landing hits on him. Damn it. Oh, that's too bad.

01:55:33 Oh, well, I was kind of hoping the fire might be able to do it, but I guess if the fires are like normal ship fires, then they're not as powerful as they would be on a normal CV. I suppose not. Because normal CVs take 1% health every second, and you can relight the fire, and then that's more. I feel like we didn't get a whole lot of help from our team there. Hmm? Just look at the scores. Well, there's not enough time for another match, however.

01:56:00 However, did we determine the ship that's going to get suckered or whatever? Guys, did you by any chance happen to catch any of the boats for Boat Breakdown?

01:56:11 Uh-oh. We need to do it again. We have eight minutes. It's okay. We need to pick a boat for Boat Breakdown. If it's one that we can play, we will. Otherwise, we might grab a CC, make them do it. Lol. So throw some boats out into chat, please. There could be ones that you... Look at that. My yellow lemons on my shirt are being...

01:56:35 Are being blended by the filter. Rejoice. Trump. Gneisenau. I saw Gneisenau as well. Gneisenau can be played main battery focused or secondary focused. That's pretty cool. La Argentina. Sweet. Hello, Zelda sauce. Yes, we're having green screen issues. Those are lemons. Yes, what did you think they were?

01:57:01 Belfast 43, we can do that. I'm going to burn your house down with the lemons. Did you ever play Portal? No. That would be something, legit, that would be something to record yourself having your first time play through. Portal? Yeah. Johan de Witt, with an emphasis on how to judge bomb drops. München, Archerfish, Alvaro.

01:57:29 Alright, polls going up. Lol. Vote breakdown. The options are Paolo Emilio, Alvaro de Bazan, Trump, Prince Avenoragna, and Archerfish. Archerfish. Archerfish. Archerfish. You singing Archerfish like Spider-Man?

01:58:01 Poll is up to decide what we play on Boat Breakdown next. We are alone. Currently we have Archerfish in the lead. Followed up closely by Trump. Is there any chance of trading in the spare Christmas tree stuff to get the missing stuff? I don't believe so. I'm not aware of it, no.

01:58:28 Archerfish is holding the lead. Archerfish still holding the lead? Wow. I'm glad that I got the sub. Granted, somebody else actually got the sub, but I would have got the sub. He would have run out of air. It was fun to watch you chase it down, I'm not going to lie. Archerfish, er, you 4501s deserve to be chased down and bombed.

01:58:50 They're nasty little stinkers. I think that is my least favorite submarine to face. They're very difficult to deal with. Especially a good one.

01:59:02 Well, I like Daring for popping subs. She is very capable at doing that. Oh, how many times did I get hit by a bomb? I got bombed like seven times? Six times? I think I got hit by one. Mr. Shu, would you... We're looking at our detailed reports. Perhaps. You... Okay. Almost all of my damage came from Torpy.

01:59:31 Torpedos and Floods. Yeah, there were a lot of Torpedos in your life there for a while. I took 10 Torpedos. Yeah. For almost 80,000 damage, and then I Flooded out for another 39. Wow.

01:59:44 Oh, Trump has overtaken Archerfish. Soviet DD tier 5-7 and try to have fun? What? Oh my god. Have you played those? Yeah, they're amazing. They're super good. There was literally a point while I was playing that on stream where I could not take Survivability Expert because I knew that no one could kill me.

02:00:10 So, what's the point in having additional health you don't need? Like, oh, they're so responsive. I love playing a DD that has movement. I like movement in ships. That's another reason. That's another thing. I don't play battleships and some cruisers because they're so sluggish. I like having movement. Ascans likes mobility and...

02:00:35 Good ballistics. Mobility, good ballistics. Trump is the winner. So next week we will be playing Trump. We might see if we can find a CC to come do that with us. Trump clutched it. Archerfish had a solid lead there for a while. Right. The Kalmar is absolutely delightful because of how nimble it is. That's a great selling point to me. Alright, then. We will be playing Trump next week on Boat Breakdown. So, don't forget.

02:01:05 To come back. Right? What? Rawr.

02:01:11 So there we have it. Anything else we'd like to say before we perhaps head off into that Sweet Sweet Starry Night? Enjoy Patch 14.0. If we don't have any crazy questions from the chat, did we get a chance to download the two minute thing for the Dutch? Oh yeah. It's six minutes? No, the short one. What? Oh, okay. Well, there's a really cool little video that just got put onto the...

02:01:36 I'm sure it's in the news as well, but it was put onto the official World of Warships YouTube channel. It's like a minute and 40 seconds or so. And it's about the Dutch Cruisers. It has some beautiful art in it. It's very cool. The video team kicked some ass with that one. Rejoice.

02:02:01 Uh, well, it is almost 7, so I suggest that we move on. Head off into the horizon.

02:02:09 We still have a little time. I have a picture. Buggy took me to the shooting range. I did. I'll try anyway. So here, can you see? Maybe? Cool. So this one was 10 yards. This was 15. This was 20. It was at the end of an hour and a half. I'm sure we had a shoot. We live in Texas. It's required.

02:02:39 Texans gonna Texas. Texans gonna Texas. Alright, folks. Looks like we're gonna be raiding our good friend Highfire tonight. He is off streaming some worships, so we're gonna throw over to him. Please throw him a follow. Say hi to him. He's a very nice guy. He's been around for a long time. One of our CCs. So, we will see you then. And we will see you back here next week for Trump Plus the Dark Fantasy event, which is called...

02:03:07 Björn's Ballad. We call it Dark Fantasy because it's a fantasy adventure. What did those poor tort plushies ever do to you? I don't know, man. Somebody else asked, what was it? It was a 9mm pistol. Alright, bye! Bye, everybody.
