Is Marco Polo Worth Getting In 2024? 

"No" Welcome back to wows 🤣

* See title, think "No." 0:00 "No." Yep. Expectations met.

Ship request:Secondary shikishima (ignore the guy that wants ushakov)

Lmao that "NO"

I love this ship, but never relay on that italian BB dispersion. Actually, with Marco you can citadel light cuisers (like the british) with SAP. The key is: over 12 km or at a target not broadside use SAP, 12 km or less or broadsides pray to god and release the AP

Ship request: Secondary Giuseppe Verdi

love the videos always man! also find start lol

watched the end of this stream on twitch, the pain he was in was real. i bet he really hated putting this video together and reliving it....

PQ! great vid as always? What is the Jacksonville (the Wooster looking ship in the 5v5 u showed us)

0:00 Straight to the point as always. Thank you, PQ :]

You kidding me, i am down to 2 games a week and one of them i was a tier 8 cruiser with no heal in a battle against all tier 10's, and in the battle there was a total of 9 Wisconsin, i didn't have fun and after 8 years of playing i am looking at my 300 ships in port and just can't see the fun in any of them because of CVs, Subs, superships, *super CVs*, MM, WG, i don't even know why i still turn this game on anymore, i don't enjoy it.

After watching your Twitch torture playing this ship, you did a great job staying professional and calm in this review.

The Italian Tech Tree-Line needs a new Line of BB's, I'm just saying. Thank you PQ!.

Me who has Marco Polo as most played ship, I agree I know it’s a terrible ship but it’s just a guilty pleasure of mine

I feel like this thing should get a serious buff. If it’s gonna be the T9 counterpart to lauria, it should at least feel a little closer to it.

Can we get a Henry IV game next? This used to be a busted ship. People claim it's strong still but I haven't seen one in game for months lol😂. I'd like to see how it's played by Master PQ!

I literally have nothing else i can get except marco polo now, i own everything else

Since the update the Italian line has been so much better. I find sap to be inconsistent. Some times it deals out great damage, other times you get full pen no damage. I had an epic game with it earlier being top tier and had my way with the other team.

Loving the Littorio, I have been looking at other possible Italian ships to enjoy. So far, I got myself a Napoli (unplayed as of yet, just got it for the discount coupon before it ran out) and that's it. T9 is a tier I really care about. Having a Missouri, I think I will gladly skip the Italian ships at this tier. Thank you for the video!

Hi buddy, can you make a video for the level 9 American battleship Georgia? Sincerely...

Hey PQ, you CAN actually disable the autoaim entirely. You have to go to settings and then camera i think, and you deselect the ''track the locked target'' option. I turn it off whenever im playing any sort of battleship, and let me tell you when you get used to it, you can do damage more consistently. You DO however need yourself to account for horizontal and vertical tracking which can get tiring, but its worth it imho.

Good ol' WG ships power crept into complete irrelevancy; when the whole advantage at release is paying a premium currency for the advantage of biggest SAP in the game... and then they just take away that advantage by releasing ships with bigger and better SAP and don't give it anything to make up for that. Total waste of premium currency.

Kind of amazed this ship completely missed all the other Italian bb buffs.

I loved this ship in tier 9 ranked...

Indianapolis and California have gotten so many buffs that Marco Polo is now my most regretted acquisition by far, and I have most of the prems that have ever been released. It's a sorry excuse for a tier 9, even for coal.

superstructure might be not that big, but all the secondaries still count as at least 10% damage areas

can be a fun ship but mostly frustrating due to the dispersion

Saying T9 against T11 is tough, nope its more challenging. I think T9 in T11 is better than T7 in T9 match. Back in the days when no T11, T9 got lot of T7-8 match. See what upgrade T7/8s have and T9s have , see consumable difference they have too. Now see what T11 vs T9 just by just upgrade and consumable, not talking about armor scheme etc which make T7 especially suffered so much. Also in T7 lot of Newbie coz WG code give skipped T5/6 tech tree to new account T9 too pampered or babysitted by WG before, especially the premium one so now they met T11 which now make them think they suffered a lot but reality not at all. Now they balance the matchmaking which T9 more often to met T11 which for me is better. In asia, 90% of T11 are dumb or bot so its ez to against them, just hope not in your team. But still, the cruisers is still the suffered one if we talk about T9 v T10/11. DD not that much, they can still compete with T10/11 DDs. anyway, marco polo is bad, not worth it at all. If like brawl or ranked in T9, there lot of T9 tech tree better than her

Maybe they should give it normal reload for AP and the long reload for the SAP.

Giuseppe Verdi seems better overall. Better reload. Good secondaries. Italian smoke. Although the worse main gun dispersion and lack of SAP make it questionable in comparison.

Not to discredit you but I had a pretty good game with Marco Polo. Just one kill away from a kraken if it wasn’t for a sneaky fletcher.

When are you gonna get to the RB ships :)

once i made my way up to tier 10 ships, i actually stopped playing lower tier ships almost at all. so when it comes to rare currency ships like coal or steel, i tend to get the highest tier possible. but thats just me here rambling

i don't recall this ship being good, but I thought it was way better, its also much higher out of the water than the roma/littorio while having low health for the tier, and you give up the smoke just for 406s that have terrible output...

On legends the Marco Polo gets exhaust smoke, and can choose between taking SAP/AP shells and HE/AP shells. The base reload with HE/AP selected is 29 seconds and with SAP it’s 33 seconds, legends has a much superior version of Marco Polo.

I'm not sure if you have video on Amagi (my main BB) or.... how is it spelt? Rooke? Tier VII British Battlecruiser (Renown was terrible though - IDK why, but only 2-3 games with above 20k damage, rest below 10k). I have Amagi at nearly 18 point captain and the British one is a meme build, since I got AL Queen Elizabeth, so now with 14 points, I'm all secondaries (including manual ones). It's a decent build against average players (I'm below average) and it shreds seriously in Operations. Though IDK if you do videos on non-premiums. Only Premiums I have are Błyskawica and Orkan. I saw your video on former - yes, in good players hands with 21 points captain it does murder people. Before you have concealment expert though - it is tough AF. And yes - original had 7 guns. Gryf had 6 of the same exact guns - it's weird that it is in Tier 1, but then again, it wasn't a cruiser. Our media called it that as a joke, because our navy really wanted cruiser. So much so that it had a fake funnel so it looked better (it run on Diesel and with 21 knot speed it didn't need that much power - especially since it was a minelayer - whole building process was a big joke)

It's OK, as long as you don't like it too easy. Took it out for a first match after months and imidiatly had 160k and a won a almost lost game with my fellow. Roma is my favorite and MP is a bit worse, but can do.

Play the Chikuma II! It's a ship you haven't played before and I've been really liking mine :) (#11)

There is two nation lines in weak to, due to design. The German and the Italian, so I got this recently 😅 guess it's the collector part of this game 😜

Marco Polo came out when teh captain rework just released and "Dead Eye" was a thing. Same with the whole Italian line of BBs and it suffers from the same inconsistent guns as the others. There were buffs to it i think (better sigma iirc), but still it feels like a BB without identity. The SAP, being its main gimmick is worthless if you cannot hit the target.

how do you change your icon on the minimap?

Man Marco Polo and Verdi seems so different than their console counterpart... Polo got SAP plus smoke Verdi got SAP secondaries plus a nice radar

Marco Polo has a use but it’s extremely niche. When competitive is T9 and Musashi is banned a lot of BB players took Marco Polo because the 16in SAP destroys cruisers better than almost anything. Georgia made an appearance in that season as well.

The reason the armor doesn’t work as well as it should is simple, it’s Italian not Russian despite Russia modeling their armor profiles after the Italian navy’s.

LMAO Great intro

It was a freebee from a crate for me.. nice to have but a port queen ever since. Look on the bright side i won't be getting it again haha

Day 1 of asking PQ to review the USS Arizona. I just wanna know if it is worth getting in 2024?

for some reason i always have better matches in marco polo than iowa, for some reason my iowa can never hit anything while marco is landing cits at max range lmao

i spam SAP only and its not bad that imho.

I didn't figure she'd be worth it, but at least she's no carrier, she does have that at least

I kind of like this ship, but only for citadal light cruisers with SAP. The range is definitely a big problem, and the HP too. In ranked it is a bit better, but why play this when you can play Iwami or Pommer.

And we got the answer in the very first second of the video

Marco Polo struggles right now because you're compensated for having less guns, but you're not compensated for having no smoke. It goes from 380mm to 406mm guns in exchange for less guns, but it needs to go from 406mm to 457mm guns in exchange for no smoke.

Best ship review of all time. Wasted no ones time. 0:00 "No".

Where is "Hey guys, welcome back to World of Warships, today we're gonna take a look at ..."?

Eehhh they prioritize superships to make their credit sinks more desirable to play. They make higher boosters more attractive and premium time a near necessity. Not to mention the fools that prolly outright pour money into buying credits.

The Marco Polo is nearly useless against DD's thanks to WG always protecting it's favorite class of ships. They need to change the damage cap on DD's for SAP and HE shells from BB's, total BS the way it is.

Day 3 of Mogami 155 secondary build

That "No" felt personal 🤣🤣

One of the least played T9 BBs in my experience. Rarely see one. People know its trash and avoid it.

I love italian BBs

How could you destroy my ship in the first second of the video like that. I still like it. Yes I wouldnt recommend it. But it has its place i think.

i got this ship for 1500 dub

Curious to see the giusepe verdict review as it the same thing with few gimmick changes, smoke, no sap, secondary sap (but shitty accuracy), better reload (5sec lol!!! ), same hp, same heal, same repair, same anything else. So shitty aaa, shitty range, shitty hp and concealment. Damn glad i have missouri and georgia…. And glad i traded my coal marco in tradin’s… tho, i hate napoli. Sure its fun with secondaries etc. But that all. Guns are terrible, its painfully to use them.

It should have improved accurary and 1.9/ 2.0 Sigma.

I personally like the supership missmatch, it feels like a boss battle at lower teirs, i also like the fact that theres a few ships that can mogg everything else and i think if you can grind to get one then youve earned the right to bully everyone

Ship request iwami or agir

I just got rid of Marco Polo, terrible reload (36 sec.) . The ship just wouldn't perform. Traded her in & was able to get Florida. Don't know how she'll work out but, better so far than Marco Polo ( a waste of coal).

This ship is pain

Jean Bart pleeeeease

I was there for some of the stream, I knew you were going to start the video with a no. That ship has just never been good.

oof, the whine must have been flowing during this stream:D

You mean WG is prioritizing whales and the 💰💰💰over competitive integrity and the regular player base? No way . . .

No i got it and barley use it its mediocre it was like they built it around deadeye

Georgia 2024

Day 47 of asking PQ to play on Helena

it was always worth, solid BB

Should just ended at No. not worth the coal. Only gimmick is basically useless sap isn’t a consolation for no smoke and made dispersion, a t9 poor matchmaking with no smoke. Don’t get this ship.

Day 23 of asking PQ to play the Anhalt

Is Marco Polo worth getting in 2024? Video starts with "no". Okay PQ, thank you for the advise 😂

I hate this ship, I feel like whether I have fun or not is based on the RNG waaay too much The only good thing about this ship that this's a premium ship, nothing more And I decide to Trade this ship with Karl Johan

There are only a handful of ships so bad that you are actively trying to lose playing them...This is one of those ships.

You got high damage on the Marco Polo that game so I really don't see your problem. Deranged schizophrenic ranting. 185k damage is a great game for most people

Day 18 of asking PQ to play the finest Russian BB admiral ushakov with meme lord kuznetsov

5 vs 5 in randoms? You server must be poorly filled. Never seen that on the EU server

No

lol no

at this point I am honestly thinking you are a bad player to be complaining so much about aimbugs and battleship aimbugs and island aimbugs. Learn to adapt and aim better honestly.

So instead of 22min just say straight up it's shit and not worth getting the say what's better getting.

it's garbage

Can we get another Kremlin review? I honestly love playing the shop but her guns are so RNG even during close quarters. She desperately needs a slight buff to make her competitive in 2024.

People who* play It's not people that play

I agree. This ship is so boring and weak in comparison to other bbs from tier IX. I regret, that I took it.
