The German Sniper - Ship Request #10: Siegfried 

Can you follow up with agir? It's probably my favorite ship design wise and I'd love to see how it can fare lately. Also seems fitting since she's Sigfied's counterpart

Since we're doing odd ducks, Graf Spee is the natural choice.

The sheer pain I've been put through by the Siegfried players that I've come across this last month is completely different in comparison to this, especially cus while it's rare, when you come across meme divs of 3 Siegfrieds shooting you at the same time you realize their "decent" battlecruiser accuracy becomes terrifying

Request: Mikasa

Don't understand why folks complain about Siegfried's secondaries. It never had a sec gimmick. That was Ägir's thing. Siegfried was always focused on the 380s.

Tallinn please. The unholy child between heavy and light cruiser and ideal for the new clan battle season

23:16 against Austin, you would need some "very big" BB, ( read the ones with 32mm owermatch ) to see some diference, you are already owermatching 26mm, so 16mm bow and stern of Austin is not the thing that you care about, but the dumb WG decision to make all the rest 32, sadge. PS: "icebreaker" was something I was pointing out the whole time during testing this ship, let even arguing with their own documents. But Sub Octavian said NO from "balancing" resons. And secondaries - Sigi was never the secondary ship, not enough of them, and the reload on them was always this standard as you see these days. Tbf, Siegfried never changed from the first annoucment in devblog - only things that changed are the ones that changed with the game itself - IFHE changes, commander changes, but the ship itself was released just at it was announced in the day 1. Which is interesting. The days, when WG was able to design ship "right" :D So yeah, this is my child I was with from the day one and I am pretty satisfied how it still can work. You only need to be more lucky with MM and targets...

Sevastopol would be a nice followup to this :D

Glad I never went for this ship. Next ship request, how about the once great Buffalo.

Napoli. Just because I'd like to see some good cruiser secondary action.

You should play Sevastopol as a follow up. They're very similar but Sevastopol was never nerfed with the captain rework

You have to come close undetected on a flank, like 10-15 km range , to excel in this ship. If you can manage to do this you can wreck some ships. The guns can hit pretty hard. But this is Pretty hard to do these days in the current sniping meta. Otherwise playong this ship kitting away it is not very good.

This is one of my favorite ships. Can do so much work in her.

Ah yes, one of the civilized discussions on wows is taking place in the chat. They are pure civil society.

Great content thanks!

I just got the Seigfried about a week ago. About 30 battles into her....was a rough go in randoms but I was unlucky with teams. Really strong in ranked I found. Over all I enjoy it, plan on getting the Agir at some point also

Tirpitz, I haven't seen any recent videos of it in a while.

bruh i could not stop laughing at the chat in both games...

Try Champagne, the tier VIII French premium battleship

i would love to see Prinz Eugen, pobably one of my favorite ships, ingame and historically

Would love to see Agir, it's just come to Legends and wouldn't mind seeing how it compares between the 2 games :)

The in-game chat is quite civil. :O

Borodino, I never see it but I always thought the combo of Russian radar would be good on a ship with supposedly accurate guns

We want to see Erie now! T1 crew assemble!

Good review. I decided to get this ship. Very salty chat by the way LOL.

OG BELFAST. Embrace the darkness.

Either Schors or Chapayev. Have some of the best fun in those ships thanks to how well they can kite and how accurate they are compared to their tier 10 counterpart

Fuso! Good old tech tree ship. Does it always have to be high tier? Thanks mate

Now that they've redone cruiser secondaries you should take a look at this again.

Looking for the Rio de Janeiro. Mean broadside power for a tier V but an absolute brick in terms of handling and maneuverability.

Can you follow up with Derski? I get that the ship is tier 3, but it is super op if you play it right. Also, it can be helpful to people who are new to the game.

Beautiful and fun ship, when it doesn't cause pain and suffering.

I already have Agir, Alaska and Stalingrad so not sure I want to grind out. The gun accuracy is appealing.

Sometimes BBs think that you are crusier a d often end up giving broadside.

Any recommendations for upcoming clan wars re: cruisers/bb's ?

Ha ha. 7:09, so cute. I wish I could be that surprised.

Want to see if you can score 100k damage in the Krasny Krym!

Schröder next, full secondaries.

Now that we’ve had Siegfried, wouldn’t it just be fitting to look at Gneisenau to put into perspective how good the dispersion here is?

I would love to see you do Fletcher!!!

love u pq

I play this ship quite a fair bit in the past, now....not so much. it's a good ship overall, but would've been more fun if it had it's secondary build thingy back

haha the chat in the first game was hilariously toxic

Those salty chats though :D

I bet they don't want to give its secondaries back so it doesn't go in the same territory as the Schlieffen line. The captain rework and release of the Schlieffen line were very close together, it was probably to boost a bit the popularity of the new line or something.

Attilio Regolo XD

I find it very difficult and rare to perform well or be effective in this thing. I bought it for the same reason, meme sec build... this ship really struggles to find a good role to play well. Really good looking ship though, and occasional overmatch with 380mm is pretty nice at times. Very accurate for 6 guns, and I can sometimes citadel BBs like Montana at max range 18+ km

is it hard too install mods in windows 10?

Good lord almighty play the Roon!!!! I can't get over 120k dmg and barely 100k in coins, very difficult to grind to T10 and could heavily use some tips on gameplay

I don't really think losing the secondaries range/accuracy on Siegfried/Agir matter, they're meant for mid/long range and for close range you still have the torps. I have both and i love them, Agir is a bit stronger, it deal better with dds because of the number of guns and faster reload. But Siegfried is deadly against cruisers. I also have Alaska and i prefer Agir , ok you lose radar but you're way tankier and the better shell velocity make all the difference.

finally lol, its my most played ship still enjoy it even in todays meta

Pitch it up vs the Aegir since it is leaving for coal ?

Anhalt would be nice for next time.

Gronnigen/Friesland

British Battle cruiser HE is absolutely filthy

Next for #11 i hope you will play Neutrashmy

I request Loyang, a tier 8 prem you have no videos on as far as I can find

Hey come on man! Erie was voted the highest a couple videos ago! Play Erie! Suffer through the embarrassment like we all want you to!

Wasn't the secondary thing more like Aegir's gimmick, though? I don't recall Siegfried being praised fro the strong secondaries... rather citicised for the too strong AP on main guns... "overpen city", I remember it called...

OG Belfast (Tier 7) please

Request: Z-42

Erie!

Request: Vladivostok for the upcoming clan battles season!

I got this ship after watching your vid, thinking that maybe I could do better. I played 5 battles and only won one. To say that I have buyers remorse is to put it lightly. I went back to the Alaska for some healing - which it did. If anyone is watching this and reading this: don't buy the Siegfried - Get the Ohio instead

Was looking at this a lot, they went pan American

Please play georgia its kinda a slept upon ship mostly you dont see it that often anymore

When will you play a CV?

Yudachi request.

MasterZ Ship Requests: Roma, October Revolution, Agir, Gulio Cesare, Benham, Alabama, & Ohotnik.

That's one nice thing about these two German BC's. They have amazing torpedo belts. Much better than any German BB. Not so Schroder, that one is as shit as Bismarck's.

Req. Cleveland 😊

Ship request.. Fiji please. :)

PLs make Gdansk next.

Request : Hizen

Druid

Graf spee please

Legit crybaby "friendly" Petro in the first match.

Błwycskawiza!!!

It's been years and I'm still salty over the release of Siegfried/Agir and the commander skill changes.

Cossack

this is my only research bureau ship, they destroyed it the week i got it , my one steel ship is the FDR purchased 1 day before the mega nerfs. they are the two reasons i stopped playing this game.

Request: VIII N. Carolina, first of the fast USN BBs

Brisbane.

I keep seeing people bring up commander rework being a "nerf" to this ship and I'm still completely dumfounded why anyone would ever get this ship and then spec it for secondaries even pre rework. Wild.

??... How about Neustrashimy..??

Sherman

Hayate gunboat build :v

Atlantico next please

Hector would be a cool video or Plymouth or Goliath

Derzki

Idk why would anyone get Siegfried over Ohio or even Sevastopol if they want a cruiser.

so you say alaska is bad?

Brandenburg

Lets do Illinois

Are we not going to talk about how toxic the chat was in both games? Must say though, the overall quality of play in the game seems to be dropping (some of mine included), that yamagiri in the second game had some interesting positioning shall we say...

Georgia

Nerfed as usual.

Can you do one on the Iowa please? No videos for 2023, wanna see if it can hold its own with all the recent changes.

I took this over the Ohio. I'm sorry Potato... :'(

Lmao I couldn’t help but watch the toxic *ss chat during the start of this vid. SMH
