World of Warships- This Ship FINALLY Gets What She Deserves! (Texas) 

Texas Review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTn7XKiVhAA.html

Yesterday, the Rose of Texas was the fastest Battleship in the world!

Thank you Mountbatten, after watching the move and being part of the save the Texas movement this video shows your appreciation for naval history!

A really good video, it's rare to be able to talk about a real-steel ship that we have in game doing real-steel things so it's a really good video. Seeing modern footage of a battleship sailing is really great as well, and apparently the ship behaved herself, even with her rudder still jammed at something like 22 degrees. In fact, the ship was so keen to get out and into Dry Dock she came out of her moorings a bit too quickly and they had to stop and do a quick assessment, make sure nothing had gone wrong. If WG did another fund-raiser for Texas I would happily throw money at it. Again, this is an in-game ship that still exists and given Texas' age and that she's the only early Dreadnought/Super Dreadnought type that still exists, she's really important to preserve.

I just wish Warspite was still around to receive her medals and overhaul / care she well and truly deserved...

I agree with your assessment of Texas. She is hard to play as she's slow maneuvering, slow reload, slow traversal. Just slow. She needs some TLC, especially if the Texas is supposed to be a "premium" ship.

I went down to Texas City and took photos from the Texas City Dike as she passed down the ship channel. She's even more impressive underway than she is moored at her berth. I'll be going back down to get photos of her in the drydock shortly. It's truly been a once in a lifetime opportunity to see her underway...

They need to buff texas aa since that was her selling point

First time I walked the decks of the Texas was 1957 as a 7 year old, I remember playing on the guns. I served in the Navy during Vietnam on the USS Sample DE 1048 as a Machinist Mate, main propulsion. I visited the Texas again sometime in the nineties and remember how bad she looked especially her engineering spaces, so happy she has gone in the yard for a much deserved refit. I do follow her, her future is bright. Thank you for honoring her. GO NAVY

A ship gets her main gimmick nerfed with no compensation Blyskawica- "first time?"

im from texas and im so happy its getting fixed up! ive been to it several times and cant wait to see it restored!

there is something impressive about the old battleships that just isn't there in the new ships.

I'm so glad the Lady will finally taken care of. She was in a very sorry state some years ago... I hope to visit her when I come to the US :)

Always interesting to see the Storys behind the "Real"ships in the Game 👍

Little bit of fun facts about the Texas, there is another Texas that is not mentioned by anyone. There is a pre-dreadnought called USS Texas built back in the 1890’s and was the first battleship built for the US Navy. One thing you missed was she was the first ship to carry a detachment of marines on board which I believe is standard practice for all US ships. She also the first battleship to became a museum and national historic landmark. Since she is a New York class ship, she was the first to be completed. They choose San Jacinto for very good reason, it’s where Texas finally gained it independence from Mexico with the defeat of Santa Anna. So, it would only make sense to have a ship named after the state on display there. On top of that it’s where our giant middle finger to Washington DC is located. Our monument is taller than the one in DC which breaks federal law. We just worked around it by adding the star after construction was completed. Last rumblings I heard was the state was planning on keeps Texas in Galveston after the repairs are complete, but they could change their mind at any time. Would be great for more foot traffic even though Seawolf and Stewart are not anywhere near the seawall where most of people go to. Still would be better than San Jacinto when there is only 2 ways of getting there either by Lynchburg ferry which is closed a lot of time or coming in the back way from 225.

Good history, Bro. One of the things I like best about the US line is the abundance of REAL ships. Probably won't get to see many of the survivors. I was aboard MO before her refit by Reagan (still covered with lots of 40mm); very cool. When she was decommissioned, a friend of mine worked at an ordinance disposal base, when a trainload of 100lb bags of powder came in. Somehow, a single kernel (roughly the size of your thumb) made its way to me.

I got to see her in person yesterday, fantastic to see her move again!

I grew up in tx and I was in scouts and one of our camping trips was to do a sleep in on the Texas we were each given a small piece of steel from it and my grandpa had a WW2 museum so he had it on display and loved telling everyone who came about it's actions on operation overlord

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. I agree that they need to rebuff this ship! Quicker reload time and better AA would be great!

I was able to visit Texas in 1986, just a couple of years before her first drydocking when she was in pretty bad shape, and then later in 2007 when I was doing a coast-to-coast drive to a new job. The difference between 1986 and 2007 was shocking. She was in much better shape, but the 15 years since have not been kind. On that same cross country trip, I drove right past Alabama on I-10 and have ever since kicked myself for not stopping for a visit. If I had realized she was literally right on my way I would have made the time to see her then. Hope I'll get a do over on her. She's on my bucket list.

The great thing about 99% of the Russian ships in the game is they never rust and they never need to be repaired in drydock because they were never built or at least completed.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting, let alone hoping the video on Texas getting a much needed AA range buff. Sad, but the history video on her is great. Great video SLM!

Got to sleep in the bunks and mess with all the guns on this ship as a child. It'll always hold a special place in my heart, badass ship!

WG responds: "We've heard your suggestion and are releasing the Texas '43 with 1 more flak burst. Speed reduced by 1 kt. Cost will be $200-$400 in loot boxes."

Great video. I like the history aspect. I have had Texas for years on my account. Not played her for ages. I must get back out to sea with her soon. For some reason Wargaming still offer her for me in the premium shop for £7.01. So she is pretty cheap to get.

I like learning about the history of the ship as well as its operation of it in-game. I think it is a great format. Don't forget about the USS Wisconsin which is very easy to get to as it is on the waterfront in downtown Norfolk, Va.

@17:36 Clemson go hopp hopp

Really enjoyed this thanks. The history side was compelling.

I think even USS Olympia needs desperate help. Great to see that Texas is getting some love.

I like when you do these historical videos.

Good mix of history and some game play, nice addition.

I'm a fairly new player, and bought the Texas soon after joining. Being new I had not realized just how sucky they made her in game. I pulled her out yesterday in honor of her move to dry dock, and was reminded just how unequal she was to the other ships I've been playing, and how fast she gets killed. I'd love to see them drop her reload time to 25 seconds, just to give her a fighting chance. :-)

This was entertaining SLMB. I’d like one of these every 2 weeks or so. Keep it up.

Great video! I would love to see one video like this about Warspite.

Im all about U doing more historical stuff..More of this..Awesome man!

I like the last two videos you have done sir so this format does work. As far as Texas and giving her some love, artillery plotting room since she gangster leaned to fire farther make it effective

although I think the battleship Mikasa in Japan is in a permanent dry-dock, although the ship is surrounded by concrete where it is currently for many years.

very good video type, informative and interesting and as a history buff I found it very interesting. should definately do more!!

Great video, I hope you can do more like this in the future.

6:27 the most wild story i have heard, they flooded their ship that they have angle in witch they need to shot xD

Largest surviving triple expansion steam reciprocating engines in the world. Only her and her sister New York, stored the main ammo with the points down in donuts on the deck. Then they were lifted by chain hoist to be loaded into the lifts. When you see the dents in the steel deck, from them being dropped,,,, it does give pause. And to date,,,, still the only example of an American Battleship to deploy the "gangsta lean" in order to put more warheads on foreheads. Salute to Texas, and those who sailed her and have kept her.

Well done

Oh man, Dry Dock irl, how many stages are in this one?

I watched the live stream from the time before she went under the bridge and the time she finished her journey.

The thing about the TEXAS in game, SHE STILL HAS AA numbers just shy of the North Carolina and those guns WILL shred anything that flys over you. THE PROBLEM is her AA range is only 3.5kms, which means all the planes will attack you OUTSIDE of your AA range. To put this into prospective US Torpedo bomber Torps have 3.0km range. Texas could certainly use a buff of some sort, maybe extend her AA range to 4kms (not much but its something) or make her AA buff RELOAD faster and max out quicker (ya know when you do AA sector, it takes a few seconds to full SHIFT AA power, and takes time to cool down), in addition to buffing her reload.

Wouldn't the proper historical buff (to make up for the now nerfed AA) be some sort of Tier 5 appropriate radar, since she was the first US BB to have it?

Absolutely do more ship history vids plz :D

3:42 WOOOOO

Nice video, very educational for a Brit. Just watched the YT video of her being towed.

Much appreciated. Many more of the same please!

I just had a look at the youtube videos of the ship moving and such on the khou channel and it is quite big. I am wondering how big it is compared to say the Missouri. I haven't ever really seen a battleship in real life so my understanding of these things is fairly limited, ie to just WoWs etc :~) Is it possible for you to do a line up of the different ships in say a training room going from T1 to TX or T11?

Now that I'm a more experienced player and have several high-skill captains for, I find myself enjoying Texas so long as I'm not double uptiered. She actually has better turret angles than New York, and THANK GOD her AP can actually slap, unlike say Oklahoma

They should put in the hull mounted torpedoes the class came with

Wish they’d put her in concrete like Mikasa. Can’t wait to see her when she’s finished.

👍

Watching a Trenlass video I had a thought about how to stop cv's being so dangerous and might stop people complaining so much about them. If they were to introduce a debuff for the planes based around moral of the pilots. This being like when a flight comes over if they get destroyed before doing much/any damage the moral debuff starts ticking up slowing down the launching speed of the next flight. This would make cv's be far more selective and careful in how they use their planes. Thoughts?

Not bad looking Lady for 108 years young!

She's a grand old lady. WG needs to buff either the AA range or the MB reload. Better if they'd buff the AA range. Might make it the AA king it was before patch 8 point "Oh No".

Liking the video idea :)

is Implacable bad?

I wonder but will you do this type of review for the USS Alabama?

Flooding to starboard would force a list to starboard and create depression not elevation. The turrets were facing starboard in the image you used? For this to have worked as you narrated she would have had to have been firing her broadside to port.

The uss sullivans in Buffalo ny was rotting and sinking a while back and they were tryi by to fix her a while ago

32sec reload and 4km AA would be good.

Love it

I love the flag that I got back when WG was raising money for her. I fly it on every ship. I hope maybe WG will do that again some day.

Howdy!

Texas was my first Kraken

Such a great ship. It used to be better with the longer ranged aa.

I remember downing 40+ planes with my Texas.

This ship is a real navel legend unlike the stupid story about the soviet battleship that they only made one frigging gun barrel for and made a video about.

They need to adjust it's reload, to be better (not worse) than the New York. I mean... the AA is now pitiful. WG had a fund raiser for Texas? I don't remember that... I remember that Twitch gave away free Texas's with their purple perma camo, to anyone who linked their twitch account to WG. Pretty much the only reason I have it, in port..

One would expect this video to be about game. You know the one displayed in the back. For a history lesson I would have visited another channel..

Great video. Really like the history,

it's such an awesome ship

Make Texas AA great again.

Where is your Texas review?

Good video, nice alternative. Could back off the clickbait superlatives and teasers in the titles a bit. We’ll watch. Each morning it need not be “The most …”, “The best …”, “They murdered …”, “So good they had to …”. FWIW. Great recommendation at the end - time to be evenhanded with this ship. Thanks.

I was excited finally thinking was getting some AA range buffs, I am sadly mistaken.

Holy smoke that's a big lady right there

AAA in WoWS is a joke atm.

Sealord! I honestly love your vids, but I gotta say that your style of naming vids actively discourages me from clicking to watch sometimes. I understand your playing the algo game and especially now your channel is just on the cusp of some real nice growth. But please, please, please don't feel like you have to click-bait title every single one of your vids.

Bro...change your add. The current ones are real bad.

JUST CONGRATS
