Rhode Island Is Back For More Than Just Loot Boxes This Time 

ye :D

@@tijger5353hello! I see you in sea lord Mountbatten streams lol 😂

@@Perry47395 hello good sir

Haha i guess 😂😂😂😂

@@Perry47395 hello there

I agree. Maybe they will if it does not sell all that well for cash. WG hasn´t brought out a coal ship in ages.

@@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken because theyre too busy milking all the whales for doubloons

@@paddington1670won’t lie I whaled the entire Wisconsin dockyard…. And I mean The Entire thing.

@@PigPissBeUponThem yikes. i spent $25 on doubloons to finish it because the end of the dockyard was ridiculously long and i couldnt finish it.

@@paddington1670 Long? It was the shortest and easiest dockyard ever.

Not wrong

Velocity is one of the variables of penetration.

Exactly, the ability to show up on a flank when needed is of huge impact. 41 kts. AP does surprisingly well, very different from my Florida experience and I am not sure why. Perhaps Sigma is better? Rudder shift is also quite good.

​@xPureNRG007x Sigma and dispersion ellipse is the same, but with 6 slot American dispersion mod, the accuracy is better.

You've obviously not played the Rhode Island. I would recommend you do.

​@@johnnypatterson7512 The audience here is people who are considering whether to buy Rhode Island. Charleslynch mentioned why the ship doesn't seem appealing. Why do you suggest we buy the ship?

RI gets petro pen angles on the AP and 22 second reload base. it's more than capable of chunking with AP or HE spamming. you just have to not get smashed in return to where the ohio heal can't save you. if smaller guns meant the ship was worse, bourgogne wouldn't be such a highly rated ship.

@@atpyro7920 Bourg has Reload Booster.... the biggest reason anyone even looks at it. RI doesn't have much going for it... Unless you consider a 9km Radar to be praise worthy...

@@andrewmbaba7608 bourg isn't just a reload booster platform. it's fast enough to get onto flanks and catch people when they don't expect it. RI can also do that. The radar isn't a magic "win the game button", it's a tool that you can use in the late game when you can get in closer. if you can think and breathe at the smae time (which, going by your comment, you probably barely can), then RI can become a monster.

It's essentially a battle cruiser. It's not meant to be tanky or like other battleships. If people play it like a BC, then you'll have a lot of fun with it.

It's a oversized cruiser in a bb slot. That's how I describe it. It has insane potential and I had insane amount of fun with it.

I buy, battlepasses, dockyards and xmas containers.. Nothing more nothing less.

Don't forget radar, a battleship that can run down dd and cruisers.

Plus hydro. Very under--rated ship.

Or a Florida. Tier 7 is actually a pretty decent battleship tier - lot of very soft tier 5 targets.

RNG decides everything in this game. Sad.

Exactly. He admittedly was trying for a close range, push in type build and it absolutely took away from this ship’s strengths. Stealth + speed + rudder shift + RoF are her strengths. I was unbeaten when reinforcing flanks and essentially playing long range cruiser. Winless when I tried his style of pushing or leading a flank charge.

$140 is ludicrous for a ship. You could buy 3 masterpiece games like the last of us, or you could buy a pixel ship.

My opinion is that they go off of the plastic models, which are also now around $200 for battleships. So this might be 2% of their rationale, with the other 98% of course being greed.

Agreed, WG should never nerf a ship that they have sold!!!!

Yes, i run it with secondary build. Good for mid to late game

Yes he literally says it

You can also get it in the Premium Shop through the website for $140. Still damned expensive. But in the range of a good quality plastic battleship model.

@@xPureNRG007x Yeah I get it and I know it’s a T10 but hell no. That’s way too much.

Rhode Island is no Marlborough. Far from it.

@@xPureNRG007x lay off the weed

@@LegionaryOfRome sssssssuu-u-aaahhhh!💨

Its available to purchase for ship only in the website premium shop, Its available as a admiral package in the game's Armory.

It most certainly is. Fun to play though. Unique, good in today’s long range meta.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Kinda bs

This is not the ship

It's too expensive unless you have th money to blow!

This ship isn't meh lol, its completely OP.

I was set on getting it, then saw it in the armory and was pissed. But found it on the website premium shop for $55 less than the armory (ship only instead of the stupid bundle). It is fun to play.

@@xPureNRG007x how i just checked Rode Island is still 145.80usd

@@jaysonnunley6602 my apologies for any confusion: the armory only has the $200 “bundle” option, whereas the Premium Shop at least has the “ship only” option for $145.80. That is the $55 savings I was referring to.

@@xPureNRG007x nah that was just me not seeing you put the less after the 55 goldfish brain strikes again

Mecklenburg is a sweet ship. I think everything is accurate that you post here. Speed and stealth are RI’s biggest strengths. I will say I get citadels much easier in RI, on BBs and of course cruisers. Range mod is important for RI instead of the silly sec build shown here. Surprisingly accurate. Also great rudder shift.

@@xPureNRG007x how does it compare to Thunderer? I like the long range HE spamming kiting playstyle, I wonder if it's worth getting since I already have Thunderer

@@jonasdeejee890 Definitely more of a cruiser feel. Crazy speed for a BB, so that is the biggest difference from Thunderer (which I also have), and 12 14” guns do cause a lot of damage, so that is satisfying. The vertical dispersion I feel is better, meaning more hits on broadside targets, kind of like Russian BBs do. Thunderer is great, but I have more fun in Rhode Island due to the versatility. Thunderer has more durability. I find myself (for better or worse) finding a time in every match where I end up pushing in Rhode Island. I do not think this is wise, but the speed makes you think you can pull it off; and when you do it is pretty awesome. Lastly, most videos talk about HE spamming, which it is great at, but the AP to superstructures is definitely something to mix in, like when they hit DamCon.

@@xPureNRG007x I couldn't resist buying it since writing that comment, you're right it plays like a big kiting cruiser which is a playstyle that really fits me. Whenever I get into problems I can just use the engine boost to get away and the 24 km range (with range mod) allows me to still deal damage. The AP and secondaries are good too indeed, though she's quite frail at close range due to the waterline citadel and only 74k HP so pushing is quite risky. The radar on it is really cool since it allows you to spot and take out the pesky DD's that torp you.

But this sits in a BB slot, PR sits in a Cruiser slot

Not really, but this ship has been in the game for 7 months now. It's just back in the armory (soon) but the ship has been here since January 2024
