Watch USS Little Rock Naval Legends, that exactly what happened about Cleveland Class cruisers. Designer: Mr President do you want Bofors or Oerlikons mounted instead President: Yes, ALL OF THEM
They were facing Kamikaze after all so they put every 40mm Bofors, 20mm Oerlikons and 127mm MK12 dual purposes gun (watch Naval Legend: North Carolina for more infomation on the MK12)
@@meow-pf8uz Japanese planes in general was the reason. Given most of the big fleet action where between carries. Kamikaze came a problem more toward the end of fight.
I'm smart...and edited this thumbnail at 4am... Apologies for how long of a delay this video had...It's been rough, but thanks to you all for helping me get that motivation back! Enjoy! and I'll get to work on Hood's video now... >_
No worries. Glad that you got the motivation back. Hope everything will starting to look up now. And happy that Sandy still happily mess around in your video.
My thought in Minneapolis. *Thumbnail show Washington character review* Told you stop hanging around with Jingle. ;) Update: So I noticed you change the thumbnail. Come on my man, just keep it there. You can not just erase a meme like that. XD
The Eagle unions high AA can be thanked to the US military’s fear of enemy aircraft in genral. The US military put AA guns everywhere, on everything, even supply trucks, and the USN was no exception. After Pearl Harbor, the USN became all to aware of how dangerous CV’s could be and spent a massive amount of resources to counter this threat, stuff like the VT fuse are results of this. I could be wrong but this is what I understand.
When I first started looking at ships I wanted a few months ago, Minnie was high on the list for Heavy Cruisers. Now, though, She may not have as much of a spot after getting so many more ships, as I can fill the role she would have a bit easier. You did make an excellent case for her as a solo Vanguard for farming and clearing, so maybe when she comes back. Good review!
Glad to see you up and About, Kicking again, and Doing Videos again Hawk! One this to say about the Video, the Reason why USN/USS Cruisers have high AA Output is because the Cruisers were built with high AA Protection in mind and served as AA Vanguards in Fleets, especially during the Pacific Campaign, as What WW2 History Show us, Wars Fought in the Pacific rely heavily or mostly on Aircraft from Carriers, the Pacific Campaign is where the Age of Battleship Warfare starts to die after all. After Pearl Harbor, Cruisers where Made with Armaments to Counter Japanese Planes, and Later on Have Dedicated AA Cruisers, Like the Atlanta-Class, and Cleveland-Class and prolly more, and Since World War 2 AA Vanguard Roles are a Must for Cruisers Today, such as the US Ticonderoga Class Cruisers, with the Aegis, which boost their AA Defense Further. Anyways... Its glad to see you again Back on the Bridge (a Ship's Main Control Area/Room), Captain Hawk! Redy to set Sail and Sortie Once Again! Keep up the Good Work And Helpful Reviews Commander! Keep the Good Shit, and Memes Rolling, Yo! P.s. Did you watch the Anime Already? Shit is Lit AF and Good, Yo!
well eventhough she has good skill set and above avg stats, she's not part of the glorious german engineering ironblood therefore she cannot be buffed by bismarck and her tech is inferior so i'll pass
For Choco and Tanline shipfus, we also have in addition to those at the beginning of the video: Jamaica, Hazelwood, Le Mars and I-26 So, we got some good stuff in there. (We always need moar though.) Alabama still best choco 'cause #armpitgang
Now, you may know this already, but just in case you and others don’t, the reason that US ships in AzurLane have higher than normal AA stats is due to American Warships having a special proximity fuse AA shell on their 38 caliber 5 inch guns. This meant that the shells would explode just short and a certain distance around enemy aircraft, making it much easier to shoot down or damage enemy aircraft. This AA shell was so important and revolutionary that the US navy didn’t declassify it until long after the end of WWII. Almost every US ship had 38 caliber 5 inch guns, so as a result they also get better AA than other nation’s ships due to the proximity fuse shell.
minnie's skill that heals her is a reference to a damage she obtained in the solomon islands, like the front 5m or so of her bow was torn off by a mine/torpedo, she immediately sailed back to an australian port for a temporary repair then headed back to pearl harbour on hawaii for full repair
Minne (not Minekaze), one of my first SR's, and I still use her in my main fleet to this day. Wonderful cruiser for me personally, even if I don't have any particular reason to give why that is so. I just like her I guess.
A fleet I commonly use for 1:1 is Bismarck with the "Certificate of Sponsorship" Item and Minneapolis, the item when equipped by Bismarck decreases the effect of "Out of ammo DMG debuff has on the main fleet. With this you still have a main fleet and a vanguard that do considerable damage.
As an Minneapolis user my self as well I personally prefer the washing machine and a fire extinguisher. Just to deal with less burm damage also goof oil deficiency team is tirpitz, Minneapolis, and unicorns high level treat level safe trust its amazin low for 11-4 onward
I don't use her as often as I do my Eagle Union light cruisers. Her stats haven't held up consistently for me, so I have to either buff her damage and survivability, and I have yet to max her skills to improve her overall performance.
It would seem the old event ships are to become normal pool builds in the near future. I cant wait. Bismarck, Minneapolis, Massachusetts and the list goes on.
awesome! I'll see if i can get her when she comes around. started playing 2 weeks ago and this channel has been a great learning tool with memes thrown in. looking forward to the hood video too as I managed to pick her up and add her to my main fleet as my first SSR.
Thanks for the awesome video Hawk! I started playing during the Glorious event and did not participate because I was too low leveled, but other than birmingham & Le Triomphant, I got every event ships and definitely want the rerun of the ships. (already got yukikaze from light build, still need the cranes tho)
Actually I use her in the blueprint grind fleet throwing her solo on 8 to 11 as ghosts clearly lack survivability and eugen lacks AA ( also I hate sandy ) with some lvl 80+ backfleet needing exp or just with August von Parcival works like a charm. Also her wedding dress is just............ DAAAAAAAAAMN
damn when fallen wings get back, my goals are NC because is my shipfu and the one who made me start this game 2 months ago, washington because i want her to my mob fleet, and now Minneapolis!... i hope 200 cubes are enogh, because i'm saving for it
The one thing I dislike about her healing skill is that the heal is very slow and doesnt heal her immediately, so in some situations the skill could proc at the end of the battle, but you can't take advantage of the heal and even withthe skill, she can be squishy, especially in late game, still pretty ok though
for me your videos are reliable when i have doubt in my builds i go watch your videos to point out what i missed fact i missed "fallen wings" event i play PR Saint Louis for my mob fleet and next i will play PR HMS Neptune Eagle Union CAs are very good even more if you play full USS but Saint Louis is SO fast ! if somehow you succeed to max her stats no regret :3
just a FYI, no serious player would use Prinz Eugen as sure she's tanky.... and that's it. Better choices would be Hipper, Portland Kai, Zara. I do wonder if you have plans on updating some of the videos as their age shows rather clearly. But 99% good job is still good.
@@Hawk2zer0 that is a big thing for some CAs who will start gaining among other things, noticeable amounts of evasion near 120. I'd have to go through the older videos to see what'd exactly need to update.
Exactly as the comment mentioned. Each fight the fleet does, she can proc that skill...so she could constantly proc that to keep her health up if necessary.
You forgot that using the AP gun + full limit break is pretty good too! She can fire the gun 6 times! That's 12 salvo in a few second! Also her skill helps that hellish reload! I love her! She's already max level for me. 😂 😂
lol you cant believe this, was watching this and say huh, this guy put some weird aux combo for Minneapolis, wasting the only beavers tag and one high tier aux, but i want to try it out... went into my Minneapolis... and she got the same setup lol
No one will ever be able to get her or any of the other US event ships ever again because Azur Lane doesn't do Eagle Union reruns. 2 US events only in 2 years baby, totally not being ignored or anything.
