KITAKAMI - Build, 2 Brothers, Full 20 min Game, Torpedoes Everywhere 

I spent pretty much all my resources to get the Kita. For me it’s marking the end of my wows journey. It started with Kita, and it ended with Kita. O7 everyone have a good one!

*_I've met one today with my FS Colbert. Our meet was very short .....about 6 second's and IJN Kitakami was escorted to the Port by the Les Baguette Express..._* 😂

This reminds me of the kitakami in the old game Navy Field EU (WoWS was originally inspired by Navy Field EU, and there is also a cut down version of EU that still exists, called simply Navyfield). In EU, a typical top tier battle consisted of a couple of carriers, 5-6 Kitakamis, almost everyone else in battleships, with the odd lunatic in a sub, cruiser, or non-Kitakami destroyer. The kita torpwall pretty much covered *the entire width of the map* so most battles played out the same way - Kitas line up and fire first torpwall, battleships sail towards each other, dodge the first torpwall, Kitas turn about and fire thier other torp wall, battleships try to dodge this one too, then the battleships having dodged both the torpwalls (or not and sunk) formed a line broadside. At this point the carriers came in. Although carriers had dive bombers (commonly called 'die' bombers as they were even more useless than the dive bombers of WoWS) and torp bombers, thier main use was providing Fight Light - ie scouting enemy ships. Fight Light was what EU was all about, the carriers were king as it was almost always the provision of Fight Light that decided the battle. The key difference between EU and WoWS was that ships did not reveal themselves when firing - if you had Fight Light on a battleship and your own battleships were unlit, you could pour fire into the lit ship all day without them ever getting a chance to fire back. Usually the Kitakamis on both sides were lit up and sank WELL before they could get a reload on their torp tubes, so thier game ended after the torpwalls.

That ship is so player dependent and still good luck is a part of it to get success. Im noticing it being deleted by random salvos just being spotted for 2 sec.

40 torps, 100 torps... I still cannot hit torps xD everyone seems to just see them the second they leave my torpedo tubes 🤣🤣

2 kitakami's and a Schlieffen in a division could absolutely wreck a side.

If Flambass has a good day, the audience is in for a good time. Need more of funny Flambino 🙂

Top vid Flamby! So much fun and that giggle right at the end is destined for Free the Brain!

Great to see you two guys together in battle, both top streamers.

Very good analysis on Balance Flambass...

I really enjoy watching you and Trenlass play. Cheers from Canada.

What a great review, you had me laughing . I am still on the fence about spending most of my resources.

Trenlass is a good influence for Flambass, he sounds more chill and less doomsday lol until the halfway mark anyway. Flambass it’s a game, you’re not the first nor the last streamer that’s complained about WG’s decision making. In 12 years of WoT, I’ve only seen WG change their mind maybe twice.

The mention of Monkey made mde remember that I desperately want to see a Minotaur, Forrest Sherman and Austin toxic division.

Good to see flamingass and tremblingass play together.

Had this ship back in teh day when it was t8, with the t6 kuma hull.. good times.. It was replaced with atago.. Pitty they will not give it back or some such. Moving it to t10....w t f.

Playing this in a div definitely helps with some weaknesses - the short time for the smoke, you can stack, the staggered reloads aren't as bad if you have 2x kitas pumping out ever more torps. I mean, it still can't AA, but watching those overpens if you get a short duration radar.. ? still seems weak / situational but can do things sometimes.

Thoose were really funny Kitakami battles.

I remember the good old days with Flamm, Trenn and Monkey

didnt live long enogh for 3 I'm dying !

I am just 6% away f om the kiti... I have regrinded the huru line about 7 times with my 500k+ coal and some steel.. so happy i had tons of economic boosts...

i need to take a shower after watching this

When is the triple division coming? :)

Bro, I remember when Phly played Kitakami years ago and you could unload all 40 torps (20 perside) indiscriminately. Of course gimmicks and deepwater torps didn't exist back then, but holy cow 40 torps comming at you is one hell of a thing to make you squeeze 🤣🤣🤣

GG

How much of those resources you had before the conversion that you actual paid for? We all know you're good, but how did you get that high? I stopped buying everything except for premium time, and I have a fair amount of coal ships, but only 1 steel ship. I have somewhere between 70 and 100 ship, with about 150 open port slots. I could say I just got into playing the game, but didn't play clan too much and got away from ranked for awhile. Are there other ways to make more coal and steel without playing ranked or clan? I originally got into playing because I'm a naval history fan, so after initially buying a few premium ships, I just started playing mostly random. Outside of slowly building the tech tree lines for the American, Japanese, and English, I really haven't worked on any of the other tech tree lines.

Hello twitch!

it so needs a vampire 2 as an escort or maybe perth

3 kita and non stop Smoke!)))

It's a pity WoWs doesn't do more Night Battles. After all _that's what Kitakami was specifically designed for._ Her intended tactic was long-range, mass-torpedo salvos against enemy main battle lines at night. Using her anywhere else is an automatic disadvantage. She shouldn't even be at Tier X; maybe Tier IX at most.

I burned all my coal, steel, and had to regrind two ship lines just to get Defence. Was it worth it? Maybe. I don't play often anyways so I don't really give much care about losing my coal and steel

1 benham 1 kitakami same division this torpedo apocalpse so much plug in the game i love it pls prodeced this😁

WG figured out how to get people off there stashes! lol

imagine all the torps that ran out of range, laying on the seaground...

44:49 i m almost choked while eating dinner

Overpens should have a chance to cause a flood.

Does that smoke buff even work on the crawl smoke lol?

I am having a surprisingly fun time in my Kitakame, I’m glad I got her. I am a sucker for any CL

Defence replay next?

Bumped into one in randoms while in Daring. Sank it with guns so fast it resulted in hax being called 😂 And in CB's we bumped into one. St Vince HE rounds turned it inside out before they could do much dmg 😂

You shall now be known as... "Whalebait"! "Welcome brother Whalebait!" "Whalebait hooo hah hah"

I had to play against a Kita/Shima/Balao div in my Brandenburg (no hydro!) And it was f'ing awful. The sub spotted and the other two just lobbed endless torps and stayed undetected. While dodging the torps I got shotgunned by the sub with a tight spread of his torps. Game over. It was stupid.

I’m that Defence 😢

You seriously crack me the fuck up bro 🤣🤣

Ah yes those famous words 'Ah Fk it'.

i had it, then they removed it and replaced it with Atago. if i remember correctly.

I would say , this thing plays exactly like Benham. If you are a Benham veteran , you can wreck people with this thing. Ironicaly Benham isnt that OP.

I could if I sacrifice all my RSS but I feel like I will regret it big time. The collector in me still wants to do it but this pricing is just shameless.

Don't have enough of anything so i guess thats it fhen

Thats cool, but in my Kunming i can get 60 torpedos in the water in the same direction easily in 8 seconds ;)

My KITAKAMI was removed many years ago. 😥

Merry christmas players! we've got so many great gifts for you! If you pay, of course

I had 8 mil free exp so i used just RP for it.

I'm glad you were able to get it. No way to balance this thing. Shame. Man, it's like buying a busted POS car from fifty years ago and paying Bugatti prices for it.

I'd play T10 randoms again if I could get this matchmaking. No subs, no CVs, no superships, 1 radar on the red team... ?

WHAT ... No B HulL

28:30 That's how balancing works, if you have very different entities. And if you don't want everything to be the exact same, then you will have this type of balancing. I mean, you could give Kitakami the dps stats of every cruiser, but how you want do that? It has 40 torps, so you balance the dps and every torp does like 5k dmg or what? ^^ And the guns need ulta high rate of fire to keep up with gun dps of other cruisers. That wouldn't work well

your friend got 3 kills, really good kills, and the Oland? gets 1 and beats him?

I just opened a daily reward santa crate and got Brandenburg, that is 4 free premiums this x-mas, wargaming kissing up to us. That Harugumo is a shame.

I used some resources and premium... But since I consider Kitakami an "Anti-ship", made just to stop any play on objectives, I stopped at the Defence. Honestly: they should've removed the possibility to switch between regular and deepwater in seconds. Like: If you had chosen a type It has to load the current launcher with that type.

3 kitakami div..... memes

nice bvid

There should be a limit for torpedoes that ahips like that can carry in game.. imagine a space that is needed for all this fucking torps that flambass shot all in one game?

isnt yamagiri just better for torping ? xD

I left 3 years ago....you should too.

this is madness. normal premiums are for up to 100 euros too fucking expensive but this??? oh my god they have gone fucking mad

Too bad I cannot afford the Kitkami .....

Yea, play smolensk to see how menacing it is. It has been hit with the nerf hammer so much, i think they broke the hammer.

Glass cannon

balance it by bringing friendly fire back ... that should equal things up.

WeeGee seems to have a permit for hunting whales. And you can see the pain when the hunted move the resource sliders... btw, presence of CVs in YT videos about Kitakami : Flambass : 0/2, Trenlass 0/1, Potato quality 1/3. Odd, isn't it ?

During the second game, if the enemy team actually cared to kill you two, they would have easily. You both were lucky they mostly ignored you the entire match.

laugh so hard with you getting poor, salvaging parts from mounthballed ships, and torping the napoli lol

50k 130k not too bad lal

Had yesterday my first game with a kitakami in the enemy team but from my little visit i have to say a sherman eats this ship in seconds ^^

40k+ steel... oof.

They sort of overnerfed it, imo.

Good ship? No way. Bad ship? Maybe. Stupid ship? Aww yeah!

dude... I don't watch dudes live, cause I got my own games to play and my internet is crap.. .can't watch and play.

Trenlass. the guy is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

U need to play with other players more. There was a lot of jokes ect. :)

Yuk

You could have at least say, that if you weren't a content creator, you would not have bother with this. Lets face it .. Lots of players turns off that page in disgust, and some sells their kidneys for it. I despise this merhod. All that for pixels!? Just no!

Ich find es so Lustig wenn so 1000 Pr Spieler sich auf RU-vid die top Games anschauen und dann der Meinung sind Wargaming das Geld hinterher zu werfen um Die schiffe zu bekommen und dann nichts damit auf die Reihe zu bekommen ..... Pay to Win funktioniert hier nicht 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Since the WG elitism continues with this ship, where only people in the club or whales can get it, I'll quit any game I see a kitakami against me. If I cannot get the ship, it shouldn't be allowed to be played against me.

I remember playing the old shimakaze on the test server. it is almost hillarious. A DD holding back an entire fleet.

if you want to have real fun, if you are geting bored, all you have to do is egg the admins in your or enemy´s team. they will come after you, trust me. it will make the game really challenging, even in non standard battles agaisnt "bots": THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE. CHALLENGE THEM, MAKE THE GAME INTERESTING.
