World of Warships- Just When You Thought CVs Couldn't Get Any Worse, We Get This Insanity (Colossus) 

It's more fun to watch your vids about WOWS than actually playing the game

Is WG trying to destroy their player base intentionally? A prime wtf moment in a game's evolution.

Now I have a CV to watch out for when I'm playing a light cruiser.

yep, WG really does not play the same game as us

Player base, "The Malta and Nakimov are so busted that it can't get any worse. How could you build such OP Carriesr like those?" WG response, "Hold my beer!| (Now comes the Colossus)

06Wallst made a very good point in WoT years ago: There is an important distinction between Overpowered and Broken. He was referring to artillery as a class, that some are pretty pathetic, but the way they are played makes them broken. Some ships are overpowered, some are broken, and some are both.

Anyone noticed that recently cv tops are detonating BBs?

it is an interesting ship, like the Kaga this looks like an important ship to snipe early in the battle when possible.

This is on the same level as the Gouden Leeuw incident, except i'm willing to bet WeeGee will refuse to nerf it because "Carriers are totally fine guys!!"

They have got to be intentionally destroying their game at this point.

This is totally fine. Totally not a slimey money grab. Looks like a golden gun that only cost $70.

As much as I enjoy CVs. I will NOT deny this is just way too OP. We Honestly need more CVs that go like the Germans. Weak planes in survival. But strong secondaries. Force CVs to work to earn the kills. But do give them a breather when a DD is near by. Flailing about is fun.

Remember, WoWS is a digital shopping mall/storefront with a thinly veiled naval theme. The premium CV rack is a crowded space and they want these new products to move. Internally this is probably just item # 1234 and is hitting its sales targets.

I did not think the Colossus was going to be that terrifying. From watching WG's introduction video, I thought it would be the British version of an American Jeep carrier mostly based on sub and bomber protection for convoys.

Seems like a British Aquilla to be honest. Seems like a bit of a distraction from the ACTUAL most OP CV - Nakhimov.

Good thing i never had to fear something flying British in my Minotaur before.

Ah! the mighty Majestic class CV.... HMAS Sydney and Melbourne..... when Australia still had maritime based air power. Just what we need in the game (sarcasm warning light apparently is broken).

Makes me want to play submarine, to be able to get away from the planes..... But seriously, this is ridiculous. WTH are they doing?

If anybody knows, please answer me, but when you reach 35k ship xp for said day, and you collect on the supercontainer one, what is the chance of getting a supercontainer, because for the past 5 times I've gotten it, I've got a supercontainer. Could be very useful actually

i got this ship yesterday, i almost had a game with it just to get through a couple of missions, but for some reason i just can't bring myself to play cv's, or subs and hybrids for that matter, even though i have them all, just having them in my fleet kinda makes me feel like a bit of a cheater, does anyone else get that or should i just find a new game to play? love the content though mate, keep up the good work👍

Can't wait for the Tier XX of this ship equip with either A-4 Skyhawks, Blakburn Buccaneer, or Super Entendard.

Holy crap that first rocket salvo LMAO!!!!! unbelievable...

1:56 "wtf" in total confusion, GJ WG.

This is why I don’t play random anymore, only random operation. Until they fix the broken everything, I’ll just happily keep plodding along in my Tirpitz and grinding free XP

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water"

The Royal Navy containers are not showing up in my Armory (EU servers) Is this only for US servers?

Your recording doesn't allow for hi-res playback. Anyway you can change that?

The WTF by the 1st victim yeah WTAF indeed

The colossus rockets also have that German rocket strike thing where they fly over mountains and their reticle goes really far

[R U L E B R I T A N N I A] Intensifies.

If playing CV I always lock secondaries on a DD if they are stalking me. Has to be done between launches but does seem to work. Then if they do get within range while the planes are away they still get hammered. (seems the way)

Honestly for me this would be a great comander grinder for operations for me. I really need one for uk

Every time I think "Maybe I can try again", WG ensures i use my time in other projects...

i want cv's with accoustic torpedos that i cannot possibly dodge.

Exactly what this game needs, even more carriers. GIVE US AA BACK

please explain the reason for the pre-dropped bombs?

got it on my 5th container from the event chain. lets go :P

So glad this ship has downsides to counteract those ap rockets!

I got it from second container... good cv!

Do they even test these ships at all? Like how do they even get released like this

heh, send this one to jingles, he will have a field day!

As an AA buff, I'm looking forward to fighting this thing! Bring it on! Said no one! lol Truth be told though I am an AA buff and well... we'll see. I did run into one of these and after he dropped me a couple of times, he gave up and went on to easier pray. I kick CVs asses and frustrate the hell out of them. I've tried to get the "how to" out to Jingles and others but to no avail! The old general AA ship positioning rules have changed "and" have been added to. Yes I'm a DD main, Cruisers can react "some" and BBs can't do much at all. There's where the CV OP stands out! They are OP I agree and tier 10 CVs are very OP but they still can't do much to me for what I've learned! There is a way to negate the puki-bastards but admittedly it is getting more and more difficult. """Sealord""" just ask and you shall receive the next time that I get into a good CV fight. Yes I said Good, I love it! P.S. Not Halland... Oland! I've 2700 games in her! """Sealord""" I've sent you (and Jingles) an 82 AA kills game in the past whereas I also sank both CVs in the process and very much as a lone wolf and I made it look like child's-play. (Addmitadly, that's not always the case) Not all good AA fights result in a good "comprehensive" AA learned video but just ask and I'll eventually get one to you. How? MC Hammer style: "Can't Touch This", it's doable but there's new/additional rules to follow and some old rules that'll get you killed and need be thrown out! Signed: """Little old weak degenerate Oland""" Come get some! lol

a chad collosus takes out the other carrier and then goes afk

I saw the back footage on the first devstrike on this poor cruiser I was like holy f we are f'ed I got goosebumps from fear

So it's like Every BB but you can dodge this easier. Seems good to me.

Take my money! Awesome

Just what the game needs

Bring back RTS style CV and fighter dogfighting and AA !!!!

On the bright side, she is a real steel ship...

I can agree, full ship deletion is a bit much. But at the same time. If you just present a perfect target to the carrier and do nothing to not let him eat your broadside. You deserve to get punished. The Weser can do the same shit (I know cause I’ve done it, though it relies a tad more on RNG to get a good spread) There’s also the same time this is very gimmicky. Def needs to be toned down, but gimmicks where 1 squadron is god and the other two are meh is….. just bad. Each should have a proper purpose not just one being what you want to use 80% of the time I have a lot of things to say about carriers in the game. I’m a carrier main myself. Are they perfect and balanced. I’d have to say no. Are they as bad as some people say they are. Maybe at times, but I just don’t personally see it. I’ve never had a massive issue with carriers, yes they can be annoying if you want to do something and it cock blocks you but a carriers job is to push players into positions they do not want to be in and T them up for their team. Things like the super CVs I find hell, those jets are stupid and absolutely unfair. Same goes for the Soviet line where they can strike from outside AA range. Hell I once dropped a 9 kill game in my Serov doing 161K damage, with doing at least 50% damage to each person I killed. Yes I absolutely earned that by playing like a gigabrain, but at the same time, I should not have gotten away with it in the way I did, any other carrier I would’ve had a 6 kill game around 120K in the same situation. Soviet carriers need to be nerfed into the ground, or have their one and done drop done away with I also find hybrid ships to be an issue. The Ise is fun as a shitpost gimmick and something that existed but can we just not with the rest of them. Main changes I want to see to CVs. One remove all the “auto” stuff. We aren’t helpless if you can’t manage our own resources you shouldn’t play the class. I should be able to manually throw depth charge planes, manually launch my own fighters, and manually use my own damage control. Second remove the fighter consumable. Replace it with an RTS fighter (or several) that you can send around the lap to guard areas, giving the CVs some proper counter play against each other and a role to play as support for their teams. You could do the same thing with the depth charge planes. As for AA…. Eh personally I don’t think it’s terrible like everyone things it is. If your off by yourself you shouldn’t have the AA to fight off entire strikes, generally you’ll get 2 to 4 planes depending on what ship your in if he attacks you once or twice, again depending on your own AA set up. the AA ships like Atlanta, Austin, nevesky, and a few others already inflict such devastating damage to squadrons in the long run they are plenty effective. Which I feel reins true to how things could play out in real life. If a lil ol ship by itself and 10 planes attack it it might get a couple, but that’s beside the point. Even if there’s a bubble of 4 ships and they “somehow” break through, but lose their entire squadron in the first place. Assuming you didn’t get detonated, a small chunk of HP I think is an equal trade for a full squadron, especially in the early game. Sure most carriers over the first 5 or so minutes can somehwat recover from that loss, but they never truly will, and any subsequent mistakes or just loss of many planes has a massively profound impact on their ability to exert influence on a match. A CV is only as good as it’s ability to field squadrons.

Is it bad that I got this on my first box

Glass cannon comes to mind.

Got one in the third container ^^ I like the ship 🎉

I normally just ignore rocket planes , when I am in a cruiser. It is not worth giving broad side to battleship. But with this thing on the seas, one will have to learn to dodge.

I got one in like my third bundle. No need to go further as they start to get expensive fast. This is a good cv. I didn't see it as op and I got some good drops with the rockets but not that good. They are F4U corsairs. They turn on a dime.

Just watching that first air strike... WOWSERS. I'm assuming if I buy it then it will be immediately nerfed into oblivion.

How to get this cv pls

If you don't have a keyboard, you're dead GGwp

I am watching this video right after I just got one shot from full health by one. ... ...

Shits & giggles sea lord show love the enthusiasm I’m a giggler too

and how get this CV ?

damn bro rlly told honduras is big fat...(I mean we look like a gun)

its using american corsairs?

Protected class at its finest 🤣

1:10 watch stream last night for that moment

Flak bursts are a good counter to this, though not for the reason you think... but you need a ship (or multiple ships) with flak bursts maxed out. Once flak bursts hit a certain magic number, they blind the cv player for several seconds moments before attacking, and even if the planes dodge them, it makes it very hard to accurately land rockets or torpedoes on anything not turning at glacial speeds.. (like light cruisers) Oh, and there is no mod to counteract flak blinding as far as I know...

Man where the hell did you get that psycodellic shirt! It looks like something out of the 1970's! lol

Something to the rockets. If they are similiar to the German ones they not going to citadel CVs unless they are british

Can’t believe i got this cv after purchased 3 crates

today is born the son of the FDR, The colossus which is TEIR 8 for some reason?

Just when you thought there couldn't be more clickbait, we get this video title!

I got very lucky when I was playing against Colossus, becasue he didnt use rocket. I just now got to know that they are busted.

Dude fired on an afk Seattle who didn't even put his Def AA or Priority Sector on.... aight

Did I just see 10citadels on first shot

got mine in the first container

i'm with the guy in chat at 1:55 .... WTF? a rts cv took skill to do that ... this is just insane.

Maybe CVS will go back to taking each other out at the beginning of the game.

"Fun and engaging"

I didn't get it in my 1st container. Still want it super bad because it flies the Corsair...

I got this with a 375 doubloon container

3:23 LOL WTF

Hahahahahahaha I only play this game for Clan Battles anymore. I havent touched randoms in almost a year. It started with the CV rework making cv 10x more common in every match. Then every nation getting supercruisers then superships and then subs. I went from spending regularly on prem time and containers to not spending a dime on this game. Wont be long until I just leave wows for good.

Ayo I wouldn't be as mad with this CV had it been released when Smolensk was still a common sight in tier 10 games.

Everygame ive had with a colossus. She just b lines it straight for my cv in the first 2min

Make profitable drama and the players will impulse buy, thinking they have a edge... Only to find we make a new edge to slice what they already have, to pieces

Don't worry, I'm sure all those AA light cruisers, that definitely don't have a billion counters, will totally deal with the aircraft. I mean, WG wouldn't lie to us about how useless AA is, right?

This thing is basically Hornet, but it's way more specialized. Hornet, imo is a better pick.

Another ship not to purchase, anticipating a hard nerf in short time. it's plural Collossii

It's obviously got a boiling vessel aboard every ship. Its British, old boy. And maybe its plural is Colossi?

Once they make their money off everyone wanting 1 they will fix it.

Seems more like a British Aquilla

After hearing your statement that people are getting it on their first container or must purchase the whole thing, I thought, "what the heck." First container is 75 dubs, which is what... 40 cents. 😲😲Now I own the Colossus.

No secondaries is a b. Crappy AA. No armor. No HP. its a glass cannon.

Holy shit plus the was real carrier

I just got into the game after about a year break and have been having fun but boy oh boy are they trying to ruin it with subs and cvs. luckily its not every match but when it happens its rage inducing, and it is fairly often

I'm convinced, they have to release ships this way to fill in the blanks on the spreadsheet; i doubt the ship will stay this way. Prolly need more ST, and i doubt enough people play on test server to get proper results. I know, i know - it's WG, i shouldnt give them the benefit of the doubt, but this is the only thing I can come up with.

Colossus on Colossus violence is not an option, it's aparant, every game I played with that thing so far, was against another Colossus and it was always about who can kill the other dude faster :D I don't really feel like this CV will be a big deal in the long run, the german AP strikes were a huge topic after release too, but people got used to them , they know they have to angle to avoid getting nuked and that's how it's going to be with this ship as well. Kaga and Chkalov are both vastly superior T8 Carriers and they will stay dominant.

Because people gotta have Warship TTK that measures in COD TTK......

So you are saying the Colossus is like the Aquila, only better?

It was the last straw for me playing wows, this cv is definitely broken af, especially in ranked.
