43kt speed of Black's torpedoes doesn't seem to affect their performance much. Malta landed two torps in this battle, that's two more than his average number of torp hits
@@TommyTube01 thanks for the reply. In the end I got the Moskva, and man I completely messed that up. The Moskva is a pretty terrible ship in todays meta. For someone who is reading this, DONT get the Moskva. Ever.
I feel like I should always eat an honorary Pastizz every-time I watch your videos lol, I’ll never know if it was you but I remember a good time ago I met a guy with Maltese in his handle and we talked about Gozo and the such believing it was you oop. Good times☺️✌🏻
Hey Maltese can you review Neustrashimi next since they're the same price? Can't decide between the two. From what I hear Nuestra is better overall while Black is more ranked oriented
I wouldn't say Neustrashimy is better overall than Black. It's a very balanced jack of all trades ship, not great at anything, not bad at anything. Whereas Black is a pretty specialized DD hunter and cap contester. As far as Neustra, It's guns have pretty bad dpm, even less than Shima. However with the heal and HP pool it can actually be a potent dueler if underestimated. It's torps are ok with decent alpha, meh range, and ok speed. But have a pretty long reload time of a base 2 minutes. Concealment is actually the best at T10. With 5.56, it even outspots Shima at 5.59. Basically the same Ingame but on paper it's there. It's speed and maneuverability is pretty average, if anything on the slow side, nothing special. Even though Neustra is overpriced, I'd still recommend it over Black. As you said, Black's skill set is more aimed at Ranked with cap contestion. Neustrashimy can still perform well in Ranked with its survivability and concealment. However in randoms it's presented with many more oppurtunities.
Black is going to be available for free, if you're referring to the Black as a "cheat for lucky premium pay gamer", also I still think there are, better and more fun ships for Ranked/Randoms, which are overall stronger and more effective.
spending skill points for those torps to go faster for me is mind-blowing .sort of a very bad joke . you have 89 skill points to throw around and you don't mind spending 2 more to improve from 43 kn to 45 knots, sure, its an option
Ranked Tokens are currently used to obtain the camo which gives you high XP buffs, but you need 10 tokens. You get a rank token for each rank 1 at gold you get I believe. The ship was previously obtainable for 7 rank 1s, but now it's available for tokens (not ranked) + doubloons , till the 1st of July then it's coal.
Good review as always Maltese! Keep up the great work. Been saving my coal for so long for this thing. I can't wait to get it. Do you know if we will be able to use our summer coupon on her if we choose?
Hmm ... Afaik there were some changes announced to the ship ... in a dev blog or so ... are they already in or will they be implemented when the ship is re-released ?
They have already been released for a while now, it was a radar duration change (nerf), I also mentioned it in the video! Big Fan! The video shows the current ship, which is already available, and will also be available to all.
USS Black is not getting a Hull update sadly, I did ask WG about it, since it has a similar hull to the old fletcher, but no it isn't getting a hull update.
@@VaticanGestapo People did spend steel on them, I personally spent steel on Flint and Black, whilst I know others who spent their steel on Neustra also. They were all removed because they were set to become coal ships, as they did not fit the steel ship roster. But whilst Neustra and Flint, were re-released quickly, as they weren't overpowered, Black was kept un-released till it had its radar changed recently. Hope this explains.
