And I just got myself the Benham! Do I have regrets, now that there's a tier 10 USN DD out? Well, let's take a look. Historical images are public domain
For any of those people interested in this fact there was this destroyer in the video called sommers but there was also a destroyer called somner. If you look at the tier 10 pan Asian destroyer you can see it’s a somner class. The sommers is a completely different class from the gearing and somner. This is just for clarification as these destroyers can be mixed up as a result of them just all looking similar (except for sommers but that’s not the point). I hope you learned something!
This is why I love the “real” warships! They all have stories behind them that actually happened in real life! It’s really cool history to learn about!
Yeah, but that's a non-standard / event camo. I try to use a "standard" set for reviews, since I want to make it representative of what most players will have. That's why it's usually either the historical, or the silver camo.
It was good one . And I'll be happy to continue till Gearing from my Mahan. But I'd be interested to know the story how USS Omaha and USS Somers got that transport ship
I might make a full video about the story of that German sailor. Meanwhile, if you want to read up on it yourself, search for the blockade runner "Odenwald".
Hey Terry for future reviews can you show the battle honor missions? I’m curious about a lot of these higher tier ships’ missions and obviously most players will never see them
Good point - haven't checked, but I was under the impression that you could see the honour missions in the ship view while it's still in the crate. I'll definitely try to remember to include those.
Hey Terry, I noticed when you were comparing the Somers to the Gearing you had a camo pattern on the Somers but not the Gearing. How much difference did that make?
Good point, I should really equalize them. The camo gives 3% HP and -3% detection. Marginal difference, it's my default DD camo, if I don't have historical. In terms of HP / detection, Somers has lower HP than Gearing, but slightly better detection. Which makes sense for a torpedo boat.
Comes in a gamble box scheme with the same price tag as the 1st offer of stalingrad gamble box, this thing is outrageously expensive. For me Benham is clearly the better premium DD choice to keep playing on than this blitz version of Somers, and I find British DD line suits me best for the standard tech tree DD. I have no need for other DD for now, at least until they later port in the pan Euro DD line. If the port is a watered down version of the pc version, then i am not interested to grind either.
I might need your help, Im very tempted on buying The Mikhail Kutuozv at the shipyard but I already have the Chappy, So should I buy it or not? Anyways thanks
Is it possible that a asian server player playing with NA server player in random battles?as VANDE Maverick is an indian player, plays in asian server!
Sorry, that's my press account - all ships unlocked there. I use it to review premiums I don't have, but I don't review tech tree ships until I've got them unlocked in my private account, as to not spoil the game for myself :)
Lol the torp stats are with the elite bonus 🤣 Gambling crates suck hard always.. but chances and prices vs such ship 😳🤣🤣 gg wargaming greed lvl 💯 Imo benham and this poop support island hugging wich is as noobish as flanking in bb for 3min just to get torped and sunk .. on eu server too many german bb players like to do that.. or become cv food
Somers has a torpedo alpha of 47916, Gearing has 45980, with faster torps, better range and better flooding chance. Somers has slightly better concealment, is faster, and slightly more manoeuvrable than Gearing. Gearing has better guns, has AA, and gets the defensive AA consumable on top of what Somers has. Gearing, at least on paper, looks like a good multirole DD. Somers is more of a torpedo boat, and should avoid gunfights on a even footing. Her guns are somewhat useful to finish off low-health ships, or to set fires while waiting for the torps to reload.
Well it's not a Farragut, the guns & torps have obviously been improved when it comes to range and damage. Personally, and that's based purely on stats, I'd take the Gearing, if I wanted a top-tier USN DD - her guns put out more damage, her torps are comparable (only two less, but faster and better damage), and she has some AA. I've still got my eyes set on the Pan-Asian line. Is Somers a terrible ship? No. Is she a great ship? IMO, also no - I'd say she's on the average side.
@@FunandGameswithTerry Yea. This gets more relevant when I'm finally learning how to use gearing this days. Your video on somers however made me think it wasn't that bad
