Glad I got the German commander. He basically works for every single class in the German line, although at this moment I do not have any premiums for cruisers or destroyers.
When I started playing wows around 2021 I made it my mission to get U-C Lutjens after that happened it was easier to get Ships faster and more Xp,FXP. and Lutjens was my first 21 point achievement now I have all. great vid!.
Enjoy him. It's probably the most op Commander in WoWs. And why is not Kuznetzov? Because he was nerfed some tima ago, and his Will of victory no longer lasts 30 secs but 15. Still, very strong, but the 2nd best Commander.
i haven t unlocked him yet, on what DD do you think it would be best.? ( or other ship as you use on colbert XD) and for kleber with or without the leg mod?
@@kaollachan Auboyneau doesn't really suit other tech tree ships than Kleber, since devstrikes are rare on marseille and repub, and you don't enter caps with henry. It is however pretty strong on a lot of premiums/freemiums : marceau, bourgogne, jean bart and colbert mainly. You can make a different build for each ship type, and then rotate him around as you wish, since there is no retraining cost.
@@kaollachan As for kleber, I must admit i never played it with the legmod, but I also never saw an ennemy or allied Kleber using it. Torps are already strong enough to yolo ennemies, and sacrificing half of you gunpower might no be so good
Unfortunatly there are only a couple of french ships where he truly shine. (most notably marceau and colbert) On everything else running Honore is usually a better choice.
One ship you seem to be missing tier 4 American Premium battleship Arkansas Beta. She had 6x3 305's, But her claim to fame is she has the same upgrades as tier 9 + 10 6 Hull slots...Very Very OP
I have them all and you nailed the categories for each. Sa Zhenbing is the only unique commander I have not fully levelled up, just not a priority as he is meh. Sansonetti really impactful as those Italian ships (cruisers and BB's) lack range and that range boost is sweet and easy to get early game.
We forget the seasoned commanders! cheap, (coals/collections/dubs) and quite useful. since there isn't much content for them, maybe a video for them isn't a bad idea
We seriously need U.S.S. New Jersey with Unique Commander Ryan Szimanski, and we need Unique Commander Drachinifel. As a local, Worcester, as in U.S.S. Worcester...is pronounced "Wisstuh". S.S. Wooster (Wooster, Ohio) was a WW2 "Victory Ship".
Grinding a line to Tier X/XI seems easy but grinding a commander to 21, OMG, takes forever. And some ships really need it, like the Schlieffen or Kleber.
As far as im concerned, lutjens is probably the best comander in the game simply because of what he offers and the number of dhips he goes on. A must for germsn ships.
There are commanders in the challenges or is it collections (I think 3) and the 175k coal commanders. Then there are the 35k commanders with special abilities (not all lines have one, WG...). After that there are commanders, you can move from premium ships and not get retraining. (the 1500 doubloon ones, and the transformers, anima, Santas, and other weird stuff) What is left are the normal commanders you get with the ships.
I would love to see more Unique commanders. Even alternates for nations we already have. Jerzi is awesome, but the DDs he works best with are Swedish, and we now have a line with a few Polish DDs. Revamp Jerzi for gunboats, and 'old' Jerzi is renamed for a Swedish commander? I would knock Halsey down a tier only because he works best on cruisers for me, and none of his skills really lean into CVs. He was best known for being a CV commander, and it is weird that I don't even bother having him on mine. Again, respec Halsey as a CV captain, and then offer another US captain and lean into the ship type they are best known for. Burke and DDs is a good idea. Sansonetti I would bump up one since it is easy to get his skills to pop. And those skills do help a lot.
There's only one ship Lutjens should ever be trained to drive, and that's the Bismarck. A lot of people like to train him for the Schlieffen, but the historical innaccuracy of doing so upsets me on a fundamental level.
Jesus, I only just realized how great Yamamoto could be in Operations. The only issue is it requires First Blood and Kraken, if it were based on just getting kills, even if only for the second skill, it'd be AMAZINGLY useful for Operations. The only other downside is there aren't any Japanese ships I'd want to USE in Operations, Atago at a stretch, but not over Mainz, Anchorage, Rochester, Kutuzov, Irian, or a handful of others.
Hi Mountbatten, I’m curious whether you think they’re going to alter some of the commanders with the coming updates to aircraft carriers as many commanders have skills and talents that improve restoration time, which will presumably not exist anymore
You need to decide what you want to do before you start picking special commanders. If you’re planning on playing clan battles, none of the unique abilities will work. For clan the middle tier named commanders are better since they get a skill boost that still works in competitive. Lutjens is probably the best choice for the first unique Commander. He supercharges any German ship you put him on which makes it easier to earn coal for the next.
Hello. I am looking at Gueden legendary airstrike build. On Wows WIKI it says that De Ruyters has: - Air Strike armament reload time: -10% (Unchanged) Ingame it says (Armoury): - Air Strike armament reload time: -15% What kind of BS is this? Does the commander effect the airstrike reload at all? Not gonna pay for a commander with some shady stats ... Thnx
Hello! Would you say that Lutjens is better on Preussen or on Schielffen. Also would you reccomend putting Lutjens on german heavy cruisers despite his skills not being optimum in that instance ?
If I play like 0.5-1 hour per day, what should I go for first, Commander or Ship? I have Lutjens for coal, GK and Marceu. I wanted to get Napoli next, however I'm tempted to get Cunningham... Just thinking out loud. Thanks Sea Lord, I was looking for a video like this. Edit: Is it a good idea to have IFHE on Lutjens when I do Brawling with GK, Pommern and BCs? I do not have IFHE on him jet, and the sheer beauty of secondary power on KM BCs is wonderful.
Many of the 'good' commanders talents are linked to Random awards which are useless in CoOp. The two best do not do that. The other special commanders are about as useful. They need to add IJN DD commander Hara to the game with DD skills but WG has been hearing that for years.
If WG wants to print money they need a star captain loot box. Each box gives you 1 captain level 6 to 14 with 1 to 4 random stars. And include rare skills like a 2.5% to concealment expert. Don't make the boxes too expensive like 500 gold and players will buy hundreds Of them to get that perfect captain.
Lutjens has proven his worth. Kuznetsov a bit but kinda underwhelming. I have yamamoto but never got it activated. But it takes sooooo long to get the coal required.
Thank you for the reply! The hull was too low? The ship was upside down and the hull was sticking out of the water still when the torpedoes went through it. 🤔 Now looking again they appear to be deep water so maybe a destroyer? Also Discord tells me your invite is invalid when I try it from your channel, about link. Any help is appreciated!
I was really excited when I read the title of this video, then I saw how you rated them. Sigh... Rating a commander based on the available number of ships is ...silly. Whether a commander has a few or a lot of ships is totally irrelevant to his skill set. What if a player really likes playing Pan Asian ships and skips the commander because you rate him 'mediocre'? If a commander has value "really good commander" then rate them based on their skill set alone. Otherwise a good review.
The amount of ships available for said commander is only one aspect I took into consideration. Hence why Yamamoto is where he is, there’s plenty of ships for him to command, but his talents are so difficult to pop.
Russia in real life has 3 ships...hahahahah man... dear friend, Russia have had and has big naval army. No air carriers but fleet is pretty big, also a lot of submarines.
Kuznetsov always gets placed at the top of lists by you tubers. He's mediocre at best oooo you get a free heal when your one savo from death and already under intense fire or it wouldn't of kicked in in the first place. As flamu would point out its an easy skill to activate. That's just not good enough for me. Ill take the kraken rampage on Yamamoto any day with a 2 min free heal and 18 second reloads on 460s. Harder to get sure but actually impactful in the game.
@@Axel23410 I hear that the kraken I get on 1 in 25 games with him in Yamato so its rare. The Extra consumable from first blood is around 1 in 3 games from me so thats always nice. But it also comes in real handy in low tier Japanese cruiser and destroyer games where I can get a kraken almost at will 1 in ever 3-4 games. Its rather sweet to get all your health back on a ship that doesn't even have heals. And cooler still it last 2 mins so you can then do some ridiculous aggressive attacks knowing your health is going up despite getting shot up.
For the commanders which come from collections, remember the mathematics of building collections: don’t swap any duplicates until you have enough dupes to complete the collection!
@@paddington1670you will spend a lot of coal trying to get them in the collections because you get a lot of duplicates and you need in a lot of cases 4 duplicates to get one piece to collect all the things u need in the collections.Seems you havnt tried collecting if you didnt understand him lol
@@ninobixio6156 Biggest issue with World of Warships is that they dont explain how game works , that game is marathon not a sprint , and you need to be super cheap & plan smart for months in game to achive something .
Which collections can you get from daily containers or which collections do you not have to buy the containers for? I’ve completed the American Cruiser and the Russian something line, maybe one more so far from dailies.
I run Yamamoto on my Kitakaze, I usualy prock the 1st blood talent, and I prock kraken fairly regualrely in it, so it lowers my reload to 1,2 seconds with Adrenalin rush, I think I even managed to get it sub 1second once with all the skills, the drpos and the kraken, that was crazy fun, got a DPM better than CLs.
Yamamoto Kraken talent is rare , I have 108 Kraken and not all on Japanise ship , but I made my 2 personal records thatnk to that , both on Musashi in 2 diffrent battles one 336k dmg and 8 kills in one battle ... but Yamamoto is for free , so for noobs is great as there is free collection bonus pacage .
You'd be surprised, in the vast majority of cases my krakens have been in very close games, that lasted long enough for me to be able to get a kraken. Hell 1/3rd of my krakens are from losses.
Always thought it should be 4 kills, it's still a big enough challenge, probably be late in the match but would actually be useful before the game is already won or lost.
I also recommend to collect the coal legendary commanders before gaining coal premium ships as it takes a lot longer to reach 21 commander points than to collect another 200+k for a premium coal ship
@@irishwind1971 ye thats kinda stupid for WG only to offer us the total bundles instead of every commander individually tbh but thats the way of greedy WG ..... "hey u only want Roon, then buy the entire stock of commanders"
Jerzy is soooo FUN, it worth to have , especially with jager ( for me ) and in event stuff ( hallowen or asymetric) spam torp and see the cooldown get lower and lower XD
Animeprincesses is all you need. I have 28 of them with 21 pointers. Of course everyone mentioned in Mountbattens video with 21 points too, but they don't see that much action.
Now that they are starting to build up the new commonwealth line, we need a commonwealth commander… AHA! I already thought of one! Take notes WeeGee! *Elite historical commander Harry DeWolf!* Special Talents: ASW Excellence Activated when either pinged twice within 60 seconds or double pinged by an enemy submarine’s sonar. When ship is moving, deploys noisemaker that voids all acoustic torpedo homing within 5km. +1 Hydroacoustic search/Submarine surveillance consumable Air dropped depth charge damage: +100% When activated, the ship, provided it’s moving at a minimum of 7.5 knots, deploy a CAAT noisemaker 1000 metres behind the ship, nullifying all acoustic homing and sonar pings within a 5km radius of the ship on both the commander’s own ship and nearby allies. On ships that have Hydroacoustic search or submarine surveillance, adds an additional consumable charge while also making the consumable immediately available. Increases damage from air-dropped depth charges by double. With Glowing Hearts Activated when the ship is hit by 10 secondary shells. Decreases damage from secondary hits to 10% Acceleration and max speed: +25% Rudder shift time: -25% After activation, following the 10 secondary hits, secondary hits inflicted on the ship will only inflict 10% of its nominal damage values for 90 seconds.

The problem with all of these unique commanders is getting them from 19 to 21 points. When the commander rework happened, both my Halsey and Yamamoto where at 19 points. Getting the additional 1200 commander xp/free XP etc for them and my other T19 commanders was a real pain for me. Also you're in a situation where the unique commander is tied to just 1 techline ship (without penalty) but can migrates easily between premiums of the same nation, which encourages the purchase of more premiums (Bet that was one of WG's key game monitization considerations). I do like Cunningham and Lutgens though. Interesting video. thx SLM
t6 prenium Béarn, it role? deplane other CV XD, only have a bomber and a skip bomb squadron BUT they come BASE with 8 fighter consumable charge each with 8 plane in ( usually on the commander you go full right side XD), a bit sad there isn t a T8 and more version
Here's a question for the community. What can you do about players that are on your team and are doing absolutely nothing to help. As in they don't try and cap, they don't launch a single torp, they don't fire a single round. Guy finished the round with 189 points. Did a brawl last night and got this guy on my team for two rounds back to back. First round I died early (because he wouldn't move to get a cap, so I tried too). So I watched him the entire round. Again we were doing brawl. He was our only DD. HE DID ABSOLUTELY nothing. But sail around the map as far away from everything. Second round he tried to do similar, but I kept telling the other team where he was and he got spawned in center of map, so he couldn't do much. So they killed him early on. But I mean he cost us the second round. And this is a brawl. What options do you have with players like that? His user is Sabot51, I forget which clan he is in.
The only thing you can do is to write a ticket to WG support, explaining the misbehaviour and attach the relevant replay(s). He may then get relegated to play coop only, where such a refusal to participate may actually make the other players happy.
It used to be 30 secs, but no longer. In that time was the top 1 Commander. Now, Lutjens reach the top. So easy, so versatile and fun to play with. And also, yo don't hace to be almost dead to see him work 😅
Lutjens is my next buy. I got got lucky and got that Atlanta German ship in crate drop. After seeing you put him in yours in that video. I figured why not it will cost me all my coal but why not. With Tirpitz and GK working on getting the other GK tech replacement since GK is Premium or something.
@paddington1670 Fallout 3 has a better storyline and more replayability. But New Vegas fixed a lot of Fallout 3s problems. Just as long as we can agree Fallout 4 sucked
@@MightyMenFromEarth whatever helps you sleep at night 👍 So Garth Brooks is the best singer of all time besides the Beatles because the numbers back it up right?
@@dutch0770 You are wrong literally Fallout 4 sold twice as many copies that all other Fallout games combine ! , go check stream you will notice that Fallout 4 have larger player base that all other Fallout games combine ! , buddy Fallout 4 is better game and number prove that , there is small group of fanatics that cry Fallout NV is better , they are wrong .
There are the unique commanders, special commanders and seasoned commanders. Try to have one assigned to techline ships you like to play, but also use them on the premium ships or a few premium ships. Ships like the Austin might need just one commanders for it due to differences from other US cruisers.
