Bajie - Nailbiter 

Pronounced baa gee-ay

Fun u say? not according to WG

It's pronounced bah jyeh Source: American-born Chinese

@@daxtr5 eh you don't really end with an ay noise

If I was the one playing Bajie, the JB would hv tried a blind shot, but u got a dumbass it seems xD. Anyway this game proves that if ur team is not at least decent, u can't win

Full broadside Musashi and close range Heavy RN line with non existant Armour. Pretty hard...

Ζαο? What is dat

stefanos perivolaris T10 IJN cruiser. Also am I going crazy or the A in your Zao is different?

@@ObristPlayep It is. I think he used alpha, not a.

Around 4 years ago it was the Hindenburg

@@ObristPlayep my question was different but u didnt notice that ;P

ah yes, the original ugly bastard

豬八戒

let me try to explain this Bajie character in more modern terms: he was a high ranking general in the "army of heaven"...yes, literally an army up in the sky. But he turned out to be somewhat of a Harvey Weinstein and was me too'd in disgrace and banished down to earth taking the form of a half man half pig creature. He took refuge in a village where he harrassed and terrorised the village folk for years before he was converted to budhism by a passing monk, who also accpeted him as a disciple / bodyguard. So Bajie escorted his mentor on his pilgrimage to India.

I feel you. Yamato was my first T10 ship, but that means... the Izumo was my first T9. >_

Damn I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Izumo used to have 1.8 sigma and 32mm plating ALL OVER. She was undoubtedly, the WORST ship in the game. Good times!

@@TheDOWfan Not to mention it was the Yamato's most favorite target to shoot at. Ugh.

Yeah I know the feeling currently grinding it atm I REALLY dont want to free xp it but its a grindfest!

that fletcher accidently played well, he was potato using wide spreads and when flamu was brawling he managed to get himself spotted and lose HP thats why he smoked up, he did not give a shit about flamu.

She knew that AP dealt more dmg on dmg-saturated part of DD

@@Pepega_Ch a real pepega statement

Dude there were 2 kremls 1 Montana and 2 stalingrad I was one of the kremls we all started to push in to a conq a smolenks and a colbert not only we had number advantage but I almost blobed the smolenks with 2 salvos of HE he was retreating like panic retreat I started to push further only to see my teammates do a 180 and turn back why you may ask? I have no good idea 1 kreml 1 Montana and 2 stalins said nope to an advantage like clear advantage maybe the conq deterred them idk but 2 kremls would anihilate a conq no matter what let alone a Montana and 2 stalins like what the hell and a colbert vs 2 stalins is a joke but nope they decided to do an 180 and leave me all of them I flighted hard with the conq I killed him and the smolenks tropes me we lost the game also (I may add if we had took the advantage we would have won we had like clear for flank for the enemy that was very low) But nah players are fucking dumb and they all were tier x what the actual hell also 200 HP on the damn smolenks from my Salvo either he was lucky or I had bad luck ohw well happens

yes , believe or not , but the game is real fun with good teammates and well playing enemys so it is allways exiting and intresting . sadly way to rare this days......

because WG' fucked up Yuzuru Hiraga's design. Izumo was supposed to have all the turrets facing foward like Nelson/Rodney. And a somewhat different armor scheme. But for some reason they made one of the turrets face the ship itself and it went downhill with poor firing arcs....and for some reason they couldn't make the middle turret rotate 360°, but sure, Russian fantasy ships get 360 degree turrets.

@@zahylon5993 dude, for real?? that's so bullshit i ain't even surprised anymore how they fucked KGV's armor scheme or the Agir for that matter... from a visual point i can understand why they faced it towards the ship though: to look like a Takao front turret arrangement.

Yes and the best AP pen aswell until at 15 km or smth Yamato sustains more penetration

There was a time when the Izumo was truly garbage. She had basically no armor. And due to an unrelated bug she would take citadel damage like crazy. If you had tried to grind this ship during that time you would have been scarred too. Since they gave her armor and fixed that other bug she is a reasonably good ship.

@@itsmebatman I'm pretty sure I grinded up through the original Izumo my friend because I've been playing this game since day 1 of official release. The IJN BB line was the first line I chose to grind through because even before this game I've been a fan boy of the Yamato class.

@@itsmebatman Like I was saying, I'm not arguing with anyone that she was like a dope ship back in the day or anything, I'm just saying during that time period of everyone hating on Izumo I was actually throwing up good numbers and performances in her. I guess I just picked up quickly on the play style one should adopt for most of the IJN BBs in the line which is a mid to long range sniper role. It's very hard to stay true to the sniper role throughout the course of a standard match with the temptation to get closer to a given situation and/or rush head long into an objective always there. I would see many players rush too close to a patch of enemy ships and think they could hang in there by just bow tank reversing back out, but concentrated focus fire from HE will melt you quicker than most players realized at the time. I also picked up on how good her firing angles were when kiting away from someone, so if I ever found myself in a bad spot where I had moved in too close, instead of bow tank reversing slow as hell and getting chipped down, I would full speed U turn then kite away firing HE and AP depending on targeted ship and their angling. I honestly think back then the major issue was people not knowing how to play the ship, because they didn't have the patience to stay at those longer ranges taking well aimed pot shots with the Izumo's super far reaching and highly accurate IJN shells. If the ship was so horrible back then, how was I putting up purple stats in her specifically across multiple categories on WoWS stats sites?

It's not from Mandarin. It's Japanese.

Odd and Oddities the ship is japanese, the name could be mandarin.

@@oddandoddities3885 that's mandarin no doubt. In mandarin, it is written as "八戒" which means "eight forbidden" from Buddhism. It's the name of a character in "Journey to the West" (He used to be a pig monster)

@@oddandoddities3885 It's "pan asian" in game, which basically means anything except Japanese lol. Bajie was a monster in Chinese mythology, so I'm pretty sure it's Mandarin.

From what i know if mandarin, it would be pronounced similarly to what Flamu said - Ba-ji-e (the E is pronounced separately). But i think it's originally cantonese and then it would be pronounced as Pa-chai (with CH pronounced as in word chalcedony). It would make more sense as the book character (Zhu Bajie) was translated to some languages as Chu Pa-chie or Chu Pa-chien. But this is all from my research, i do not speak either of these languages.

This morning I have a team with 2 AFK players and a CV who only attacked enemy's CV ( failed, and repeated it) and we almost win because we failed to capture the second base. Enemy has 2 ships left. If only those f*ckers can cap... Bots are better than them.

Its just a joke i just played ranked with a salem which was blaming enemy ohio for hacks I saw his profile later..yeah got 30k citadel and it was a 47%winrate potato with his 2nd salem game...really depressing

Me too

@@grimmshredsanguinus2915 47% win rate isnt really a potato is it?🤣 slightly below average maybe.....considering anything over 50% is considered decent in non div play. Sub question, what's your non div win rate stefanos?

I wonder if WG even did their research. They made bajie stronger than wukong, even though wukong is the main character in the story.

Can you realize? crash, and when you log back you have a solo warrior!? lol

@@emanuelgoncalvessantos4499 - my bet is he did not ctd. My bet is he potatoed HARD into the border and was completely stuck there. (last time I did that it took over 5 minutes to disengage from the border with full reverse the whole time). My bet is he rage quite because he was stuck and being focused down at the time.

DC player can't throw kekw

Dont you dare take my Mushy off me! lol

Why would they? You can keep it and then add another one Same deal as Missouri and Georgia

if he hadn't DC'ed he would have been firing guns at some point, probably moving closer to the battle and been targetable.

it happens believe it or not? I had a cv constantly drop fighters on me in my izumo 2 days ago and a dd smoke me up because the enemy cv had a hard on for killing me! luckily we won and I double complimented both the cv and the dd not alot of players use the compliment system much nowdays....

What's worse is guys would win far more often if they did......

If you want the Conqueror but hate Lion and have the special flags, you can grind it in probably fewer than 20 games. Because now we can run all the economic flags at the same time as well as 8 combat flags. I did that with the German cruisers, from buying Yorcke to researching Hindenburg (no credits to buy yet - lol) in under 50 games total.

Erik Aukan and monarch is the worst t8.

Izumo is one of the ideas the Japanese had on the design path to the Yamato. Bajie is compete fiction, no way the Chinese would have obtained a Japanese BB or BB design and built it.

@@Neneset Yeah, that's what I thought. Feels a bit like a "Polish BB" that is nothing but a Bismarck reskin...kinda tasteless considering how many Chinese were killed during the war against Japan.

U Shaw I’d like to know to. Looks hard to play but fun

The game is still true to history... CV being OP that is.

when was that? in its beta stage lol?

I mean the art style guys - calm your farms. I know the game is about as realistic as harry potter

A PanAsia Yamato....LOL count me in

@@frankvc5899 That'll be the suckishima......
