Is Napoli Worth Getting In 2024? 

The way I giggled in the first few seconds answering immediately the question.

I like how that Jager was complaining about you playing for kills, when he was playing to get killed. What a loser.

8:40 that fucking Jager lol The mistake he made isn't thaaaat bad, shit happens, but to then flame PQ with this bullshit is pure copium. These players are one of the reason I have the chat disabled in this game.

I have never seen a Jinan beeing alive for more than 5 mins on any of my teams in 5k games.... That is the real surprise here, lol.

Flandre pls 🙏 No one talks about it !

That Jinan carried the shit outta his team. Damn why can't i get that guy on my tram more often?

2177 BXP on a loss is insane. That's more than the best player on the winning team.

Finally happy to see myself featured in a PQ video! (I was the Ohio that got rammed in the first clip :( )

Full AP Zao vs Cruiser broadsides in 2024 , its hard but doable and fun as hell!

Ree “how do you kill Napoli”? As a primarily CV and Cruiser player, I think the answer to stopping a pushing Napoli are submarines. Sometimes torp DDs and Carriers setting up crossfires with battleships or super-cruisers can also work, but the only consistent thing that can stop a charging Napoli is a sub imo. Otherwise you're relying on luck, the Napoli making a misplay, or a lot of cross-firing BBs/SuperCruisers or enemy secondary battleships. That's an excessive requirement to stop a single supercruiser. Now if you can stop a charging Napoli, theoretically the things that can use HE to penetrate her upper belt and deck armor with HE are Azuma, Yoshino, Defence (when she comes out), Sevastopol, Admiral Schroeder, Siegried, Agir, Castilla, Piemonte, and every Battleship except for Rhode Island, Illinois, Picardie. If you're in Venezia, Piemonte, Michelangelo, or an Italian BB you can also penetrate both her upper belt and deck armor with SAP. Carnot, Henri IV, Conde, French Large Cruisers, 234mm British CAs, Kronshtadt, Stalingard, Novosibirsk, Congress, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Johan de Witt, Gouden Leeuw, Napoli, Rhode Island, Illinois, Picardie, and every remaining German cruiser except Mainz and Wiesbaden can penetrate her deck armor but not her upper belt with HE. Brindisi and Amalfi can also penetrate her deck armor with SAP, but will not get through her upper belt. These ships should be able to farm damage at the right range for plunging shell trajectories with good shell placement, but getting those circumstances isn't entirely in the shooter's hands. I suspect that the NA playerbase's shift away from BB calibre HE is why Napoli feels so difficult to kill. Napoli has the perfect survivability suite for shrugging off most HE shells up to 237mm due to her strong deck armor and lack of superstructure. Her Icebreaker bow and thick belt, deck, and forward citadel armor makes her very resistant to BB AP shells when bow on and angled. Worth noting that a kiting Napoli has a 25mm aft armor plate and only a small section of 60mm steering gear protection. If you can make Napoli run away she should fold like a house of cards. TLDR You want subs to stop the Napoli from advancing, and high calibre HE or SAP shells to grind her health down at longer ranges.

The way I've played Napoli so far is to get rushing out secondaries on the SAP this year was on so actually fun

Napoli is easily the best coal ship in the game, heck, it's better than most steel ships too. It's practically braindead gaming. You exist and you do well for merely existing. I played tons of it in CBs, it just does NOT die. I typically was tasked to sit alone on a flank and receive an enemy push solo and waste their time leading them to the edge of the map while my team just steamrolls the other side and secures the win. And the thing is, the enemy team, even knowing what I am doing, can't do anything to stop it. They need to chase me, they need to deal with me, and they will lose 10-15 mins doing just that. It's a ship only fun for the person playing it, and nobody else.

Yodo, my beloved, useless hull of a ship, I'll be waiting for you until PQ will honor my request for you until eternity!

i was going to instantly type yes but you beat me to it XD tons of fun and my favorite part is people thought it was a meme ship when it was first added

Can´t agree with you more on your initial statement. In fact, if that was all you said it would have been enough. I´ve been fortunate to play Napoli as my goto cruiser for the dockyard event. I´m a regular BB guy who doesn't go too far away to other class ships but Napoli didn't break my battleship brawling stride. Since I'm no where even near your level of play, Napoli gives me more often than none a +200K reward and scoreboard lead when playing asymmetric. You read my mind as to how powerful she really is and I just give her full W and forget smoke and soon find myself bow on with 3-4 kills already, pushing like crazy for the CV. In any role I find her well suited, even if it is taking on AA. She is in essence a tier 10 CL but with traits and tankiness of that of a super ship. Just feels good to play and forgiving for all the human mistakes one can make helps you feel less stupid in comparison to squishy DPM'ers behind islands spamming HE. As for that it's ALL AP as I let secondaries do the rest and light my fires! Very accurate and on the spot review, thanks PQ. (P.D: Any possibility of another video showcasing Napoli´s great games, shure is fun to watch all the big boys go down one by one.)

I appreciate your analysis and your easy presentation. A natural!

Napoli was my second coal ship. I have three: Marceau, Napoli, and Pommern. I am not good. 49% after over a million matches ;) The How-To elements in these videos are very useful.

when it comes to coal ships, you need to consider beyond just "what do I want". I would recommend playing smarter, not harder. so, I will admit, I'm a full collector here. I think I have all of the ships I can get, other than a few that I just haven't gotten yet. I would recommend buying the cheaper ships first, and working your way to the more expensive ships. why do I recommend this? most people are hoping to get a ship out of the Santa's gift containers and the super containers. in my opinion, I want to get ships that I cannot get for coal, let along minimal amounts of coal like 50,000. when RNGesus smiles down upon you, and a container drops a ship, it is better to get a more valuable ship than a cheaper ship. if you already have the cheaper ship, you cannot re-aquire the ship, so it'll default to either a more expensive ship, or a ship you cannot get for coal.

What great timing, I'm going to be able to afford it tomorrow, and was on the fence! Looks like an absolute blast to play

Love your videos by the way, my favorite WOWs RU-vidr!

hey love your videos these are helping me as a returning player can we have a list of what mods you use? and you think are worth considering to use?

i have been conducting some comparisons on some secondary CAs in asyms to see how they really compare. i played 10 games each in Napoli, Michal Angelo, Schroder, and for fun the Schlieffen. i played these games very aggressively but not suicidal, just enough to keep the guns always going. these are a mix of good games and bad, with a few losses along the way, but i took the results from every game and didn't pick out the best ones. i used asyms for the general even play by the bots. just a general average from an average player not in PQs league. lol. here are just the results of the secondaries. Napoli average damage 45,000 with 530 shells fired and 155 hits. no fires due to SAP Mic Angelo damage 48,000 with 622 shells fired and 168 hits. no fire due to SAP Schroder average damage 37,500 with 912 shells fired and 150 hits, plus 5 fires for an additional 9,000 damage. the low fire damage is due to the bots always having dam-con available when they catch fire and don't let it burn like a human. Schlieffen average damage was 98.800 with a570 shells fired and 530 hits. 8.3 fires per game and 22,000 damage from then, again against bots with insta dam-cons. this is not reflective of all the other parts of the game, and i am not showing the results of torp damage, main gun damage or potential damage. in an overall average the Schroder played the best even without it having torps, but all 3 are a blast if you like the sound of non-stop gun fire. and when you take into count the phycological effect of these secondary ships when played against human teams they are very powerful at keeping DDs away from caps just from fear of being shredded by the secondaries.

Really enjoyed the video. Its sad when teammates wana win harder and throw. Atleast with napoli u have a ship u can have fun with

The great thing about this ship (I'm a noob who joined 5 months ago, Napoli was my first coal ship) is that you can play it as a total idiot and survive long enough angled to learn the ropes, while your SAP does auto dmg. Now having an IMPACT in terms of utility it has none, which means that as you get better and expect to do more damage and have more impact, you'll be confronted with the fact that without a coordinated div/flank/team you're sailing around in circles trying to get someone into your secondaries range. So it fizzles real quick unless you're very good at reading the map and snatching opportunities.

hey PQ! should i get this or groningen? i am trying to get my next coal ship and wondering which i should get

Napoli became one of my favs in the last year for every game mode. Ship is so fun and also with the new Captain skills it just works perfect

Yoshino/Azuma review next?

Napoli is pretty easy to Devstrike with Ohio and Vermont, something about the arc of the shells or possibly the overmatch, but it stands they don't often get away with broadsiding those US ships. But mostly with anything else that ship is a nightmare to deal with because it's so damn tanky

Played with you that first game. I kinda sucked I was the Vermont took a break for a few months so that’s why. Ive also never been really good with Vermont. ggs tho

I love this series so hard.

Napoli was the first coal ship that I bought, never regretted buying Napoli 😊

Please Ochakov, the forgotten light cruiser!

Tbh i still prefer schlieffen but napoli is still very good. Schlieffen can be played as a heavy cruiser with 20% Rudder speed and gull camo: 11.9s rudder shift 12.6km spot range and 12/12.5 with flags secondary range and with comander skills mine can reach 37.5 knots unspotted and around 40! with sierra mike on top so it can push and run away and with hydro and decent rudder shift (for a BB) you can even avoid Torps with a bit of skill and be a Nightmare for any Cruiser/DD that gets spotted in secondary range

Those secondaries do so much damage without fires holy moly.

Holy shit, i just bought this thing, and it is my favorite Schlieffen of the game.

Watching u play just makes me realise how much i suck 😂. I absolutely suck in this ship (or any other)

Hey potato, am fairly new to wows, just wondering how you got your shell trails to look red, is that a mod? Thanks

how do i get that crosshair? ive been dying to get it

She's one of the most fun cruisers to play at Tier X.... it's one of the ONLY brawling cruisers, if not the ONLY one that can really do it while allowing for a mistake or two (armor).

Just missed the Michangelo, I hope WeeGee add that ship back as resource ship or at lease a ship that I can buy

Had a 8km broadside nap in ranked last night, 420s on my Grober K did 13k dmg 😢

Always thought its weakness was torps. The combination of slow rudder speed, no hydro, yet wanting to brawl means you're running into a lot of torps. Taking a big hit from them then really cripples your ability to push/brawl later game.

Absolutely yes. Napoli is fantastic.

Is it possible to get Sansonetti anymore?

Do Marceau pls, the best coal dd imo

I just spent all the coal I've been saving for about 4 months, on the Napoli.

Napoli is one of those ships that wants range mod rather than normal mods with its weird dispersion.

Really appreciate you answering the question at the beginning of the video

This settles it. Napoli is my next coal ship... It'll make up for getting Marco Polo first...

Napoli is my favourite cruiser right now. The sheer amount of battle impact is crazy. Also PQ unlock your discord so that everyone can send messages there

I'm worried they will nerf it the second I buy the ship

I always struggle to kill enemy Naps with BB & Heavy Cruisers like wtf

It's a lot of fun in randoms, and also a blast in clan battles. I really enjoyed Hindenburg before we had as many big-gun BBs, and Napoli gives me a lot of that play style back.

captain build?

Yes

Ship request, de grease

how did I overlook that ship what the

The guns are deff rng but i do lioe how tanky the ship is .napoli is tanky with fun secondaries

Lambasting ally for broadsiding the torpedo cruiser and then doing it yourself 3 minutes later! LOL

now i gotta grind the italian line....

Can we get a Wujing/alsace video please

I smell a Napoli removal from the armory by WG at some point. You know that they want people to gamble for such strong boats.

Thanks! I need to take Napoli back in action from the moth bag.

Aim for the back end on the Nap and you will cit every time

Day 12 of asking PQ to play on Helena

big fan of this vermont-player, cries about not beeing able to hit 100K but running B-Line :D

The thumbnail is magnificent

I saw the title and thought. Well that’s a rhetorical question. lol Love this ship. So much fun.

It is 100% worth it

I've had enough coal for this Napoli for a while, but been weighing my options. After seeing this video, I think I'm ready to be part of the problem. >:)

Hey man, I think you might have misread my chat on twitch when I asked if you were "getting carriered" as in focused by carrier in Moskva today and I was instantly banned. I hope it was a misunderstanding anyway. I enjoy engaging with you and chat so I hope you read this. Cheers bud.

you know what isnt worth? EU/NA server not getting a new map in 2+ years while the RU server gets 3.

I always thought its a bb

perfect. Just got this ship

Sicilia, the bigger, badder, napoli :)

Your a Beast PQ!!!, that's an awesome way to start your vid man ,2 achievements right off the bat and the many after, almost choked on my food lol. 2nd game what can i say, you alone pushed back 5 opponets and that enemy Sherman in-game chat was funny. 3rd game it, it re-enforced the fist two vids that it is a Great Ship. Napoli+Sansonetti= Shhh no one say OP, I need to get it, sweet Ship 😂 😂 Thank you @PotatoQuality!.

To be fair, Napoli is pretty strong, but I think it's balanced around the fact that you gotta play it at closer range. And only fairly experienced players can play effectively at close range, even in good ships. If you gave me the Napoli right now, I'd probably struggle to deal my health in damage if I were to play close range. I just don't have the instincts for it yet. And I suck at reading the map.

There is another exceptionally fun ship with full-speed smoke generator. It's called Paolo Emilio. You should give it a proper chance, PQ.

how we can have red missiles like you??i cant find it in game

3 seconds video, thanks =3

I dont play the soft underbelly of Europe

Automatic ship in all of ports!!

That target heading mod you are using is very powerful. Is it ''legal''?

this ship is the reason im still playing this game

I feel a nerf comming 😢

easiest question ever for a meta enslaved community

This boat has one of the worst win records and damage of all t10 cruisers across all levels of players in randoms

Napoli or Venezia 🤔

Is Goliath Worth Getting In 2024?? i almost never see this ship

This video should have just been 5 seconds long hahaha

Finally a professional opening for the given title

Day 33 waiting for Patrie secondary build (with IFHE)

day 7 of asking The Potato to make a video on izumo

Have to watch the OP talk or WGing will Nerf it into the ground.

Napoli is faster than Mino and some DDs. It's just straight up an insane ship. Very fun. Very OP. You should try YOLOing with this. smoke at 8.9km. Run at BBs, torp and point blank cits. Defs your kinda jam.

Explodium = Napoli

PQ , you forgot that napoli , like petro , if you mount the range module , you will have better dispersion

Designing ships for doubloons which are battleships with gunboat accuracy on their secondaries but you’re still moaning while u died after a kraken and took 10k from that cruiser.oh and pay 2 win is not unfortunate, it’s actually the opposite. Maybe u need to call it what it is which gimmicky OP, without apologizing to WG off course.

Napoli is invincible. Full health Tier X BB vs 1/2 health Napoli? Napoli will win every time. Napoli Secondaries are more effective than 18" guns. It will sec you to death. Plus, Napoli can smoke sec you. If you close in it will torp you. BB guns will not do more than 1.5~4K per salvo. Cannot citadel it either due to armored bow.

Napoli my beloved
