Hello there! It was nice playing with you. I screwed a little this game by using my 2.7 boats with tank turrets first. Had I bring my MPK pr201k from the start, the game may have ended differently. But it was a fun game nonetheless. I think the American PT boat you were refering to around 8 minutes is the PT-810, it's torps are almost as powerful as Shimakaze's torp. Concerning Japanese Frigates damage model, I also feel the JDS Frigates have been buffed. Back in the days even reserve destroyers would kill them easy but now they are really tanky. If you can, ask for a spaded JDS Ayanami test drive. Since it has AP and now doesn't die immediatly to HE spam, it's the Perfect SKR-7 counter. You lose the 40mm AA back up but you got triple the firepower of the Chikugo. It's a great ship without being fool proof as you got long reload if you switch from AP to HE-VT and you got no secondary to warn you about planes or boats closing on you.
0:30 The name Syonan is misleading, it is a miss-translation Gaijin did of the name Shounan (昭南 -> Shōnan), the Russian language transliterates things differently (昭南 -> Сёнан with ё being spelled Yo in Latin but not pronounced so) which is how we ended up here. You can check this with the Google translate voice feature. 1:35 Same, one of the few actually good maps in the game, had some ridiculous kill streaks in the PG 02 and Freccia on this map.
Thanks for the insight, I was speaking with another person this afternoon along the same lines and he explained similar. I knew I murdered it at the time, it just sounds **wrong** 🤣
G'day once more today, Ahh Friday night & some TeeVee's while one of WT's few great naval CC's plays the ships I often field in battle what a great day. Hm I've seen that the JDS Ikazuchi DE-203 has a mean SL modifiers as a contact mentioned how it beats out JDS Akebono DE-201 in that regard in AB iirc still these destroyer escorts at 3.3 are a gem and that Akebono class is a very similar ship to the Ikazuchi class with the only real difference being the engines with one being steam turbines and the other gas turbines iirc. The JDS Chikugo DE-215 (Chikugo class) is an old friend for me back when it was first added in 1.89 the devs did a boo boo with a low requirements to get to which I partly took advantage of although I missed purchasing it at a cheap cost and waited a few years later but It helped me grind out nearly all of the JMSDF vessels in game, Still it's enclosed dual MK.33 mount is gnarly for a headon but man I wish the ASROC system worked just to yeet out missile assisted torpedoes to some distance or the dreaded W44 nuclear depth charge. The further destroyer escort JDS Isuzu DE-211 (Isuzu class) is practically the Chikugo class with another dual Mk.33 mount and has a quintuple torpedo launcher + an Alfa weapon yet it's best to land it in battle or otherwise BOOM (used to connected to the ship so you would have to dump it at the start in battle taking roughly 1 minute 30 seconds). And your prize you seek to get the destroyer JDS Ayanami DD-103 (Frigate in game strangely) is a mean warship although pricy especially compared to the formidable Pr.159/Pr.135 and especially the ammunition costs at 6700 sl per belt but also be warned the B turret magazine sticks above the waterline (which me and three others believe to be a model bug as it would fit snug next to the depth charge storage & pumps). Onto weaponry the guns/mounts are mislabelled as it's the 3"/50 Mk.22 cannon on a Mk.33 mount yet in game it's called a 3"/50 Mk.33 no matter the vessel (quite a few vessels have these issues surprisingly), Another thing is the X-ray shows a single shell elevator system yet in game you're forced to use belts which is annoying compared to other ships with automatic artillery pieces yet fire single shells. A further point is the 3" HE can be far better as AA shells then just the HE-VT shells since it has a small bursting charge & a 15 m trigger radius as from my experience those are terrible shells meanwhile the bog standard HE or the APHE will rip apart incoming aircraft (good thing these ships get targeting radar locks to lead the shells with ease). You'll find bringing depth charges with these destroyer escorts & destroyer can be worth it especially the Hedgehog naval mortar which has gotten me many clutched victories which kinda ties into your point about taking forward turrets to make ships turn as if you take my turrets I'm charging in with secondaries blazing/repairing guns until I get within range to dump my deadly salvo (heh Cortes: launch the mosquitoes!!) depending on your age / what TV channels you watch when younger you might get that line heh (although mosquitoes in that were fighters not bombs) as Hedgehog shells sting like a mosquito especially on larger ships. Onto news what are your thoughts of the S-701 series S-Bootes for the next BP? Looks pretty competitive as a merge of the ladt two S-Bootes designs.
So far I have enjoyed the s-boot 701. It's got a decent amount of torpedoes though that are lacking against the heavies (as you saw) definitely great destroyer killer if you can get into a good solution. I'm trying to come up with some interesting tactics and I believe the Torpedo mode can be used to good effect
Here is one i prepared earlier on the KOLN class as a whole. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vHNf0v3NPL8.html functionally there isn't too much of a difference between the ships
Ayyy I have been grinding the Japanese coastal tree quite a lot recently so this video is just at the right time for me! Coincidentally also have been spading the Chikugo and the Ikazuchi as well! Lovely! I'm not quite sure of what to grind for the 5th rank of Japanese coastal tree. The Syonan and Chidori looks a bit meh while the Isuzu and the JDS Ayanami looks rather interesting to play. If only the 3 inch 70 caliber gun doesn't overheat as much as a car engine put near an active volcano 😂😂😂 Thanks a lot for the video though. Keep up the great work!:D
syonan would be decent and used to be powerful in niche close waters. these days you have a DD spawn so it can be hard to be effective. if you manage to make it to the combat zone, the Japanese 25mm are very effective. Thanks for watching enjoy your weekend o7
@@CmdrTyrael oh yeah I've seen a few people bringing the Syonan to coastal waters and shredding PT boats with the 25mm. I do similar strategy with my frigates as well to be rather effective in the match even though I feel quite evil after that 😂. That 20 knots-ish speed for the Syonan looks rather painfully slow for my standard as well but hey I've seen some players that manage to be effective so there's a bit of hope lol. Here's also hoping that the snail lords won't add a typhoon weather effect whenever I eventually spade the Chidori 😂 Thanks! Hope you'll enjoy your weekend as well Commander! o7
Naval would be more enjoyable had mod the grind isnt so awful and Gaijin actual made good ballance decision both SKR should go up 4.7 so that it would face more armoured destroyer Also the Pr.1441M could go up to 4.7 too after the SKR and give it the AP belt , Gaijin nerfing the shit out of the 30mm that a tiny alluminum skin reserve boat tanking half of 30mm belt And give other nation more >4.0 frigate
In the last 3 weeks I have been noticing watches where a player(s) or bot(s) have died off using up all there spawns and left the match halfway through, and been totally replaced by bot(s) that have a full set of respawns. This usually turns the match. Also alot of 10 vs 12 matches. 1 side has 9 players and a bot, the other side has 10 players and 2 bots. It is only noticeable by comparing the players in the Player Stat's to the Players Battle Feed. This just isn't balanced matchmaking or balanced sides. This may also be happening in Ground and Air as well.
@@CmdrTyrael Thank you, Your RU-vid channel got me back into playing naval. I joined your discord today, with the discussion about the PT-658. If you are interested here is the link to potentially my one and only RU-vid video of the Player Bot switch; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JxsDeLLuRh4.html or it's on my channel as well as the full match. Please forgive the quality. Will fix it new graphics card driver causing it to crash when capturing. It is potentially just a fault where the bot is spawning into a empty player slot no matter the stage of the match. Thanks for your time.
i played this line up towards the end of the event primarily taking out the PG-02 at the start then jumping in my Ikazuchi or Syonan to finish out the match i do have the Chikugo but its spaded so i was after upgrades for the other 2 frigates which got me with in 56k rp of the Izuzu, then its just the chidori and Ayanami to get and my japanese coastal will be complete till they add something else, my other complete coastal trees are the Italians, Russians and Germans i still need to finish America which id like to do before French come out
That's really good progress. My Soviets are the only coastal tree completely finished Japanese were finished at one point but alot has been added. I jump around too much to really focus on a tree. Although today was some really good progress and i look forward to trying the later JMSDF ships. thanks for watching enjoy your weekend!
yea im the same i also jump around the different game modes as well as nations most of my ground is around 8.7 same with my air 8.7 to 9.7, for the reapair factory i mostly focused naval though started with top tier german coastal with the Koln and Pr 206 and the Hugin to get the Pfiel, then i switched to top tier russian coastal with the SKR-1 which was bone stock, the Pr 1331M and the Pr 12412 to get the Pr 204 then i did some british with the Whitby, Brave borderer and the Peacock to get the HMS Blackpool, eventually i got sick of the constant uptiers to 4.3 facing SKR-7s which where everywhere!!!!!!! during this event and they were shutting down games left right and center, i got the drop on one in my HMS Blackpool with a healthy crew while he had a 32 percent crew and he still turned his guns and RBUs around and rocked my world while i only got him to 20 percent crew i had enough after that lol, enjoy the weekend too mate take it easy!
next time how about make video about british floating fortress? the HMCS Brantford those thing are nasty strong in his BR, not even 40mm bofors can pen his hull
i dont like the Ikazuchi and the Isuzu is soo much better for 0.3 BR higher. But when you get uptiered and spotted by 4.7 destroyers or SRKs you are toast^^
