WOWs Can Be So Much FUN!! - Ship Request Groningen/Friesland 

Flandre the OG French secondary BB next please, we haven't seen it in years. We lost by a small margin to Groningen (though the game was insane) last time so lets try again !

Would love to see henri |V in 2024

Retired IT guy, PCs since 1983. If you do not have an identifiable problem that a BIOS patch will address, just don't. I am OCD about my boxes in every other way, but I have learned to read patch notes, and unless there is something that specifically addresses my configuration and presents a real fix or a substantial performance boost, I have learned (at too high a cost, too many times) to just let it pass. On customer hardware, I would only spec motherboards that supported dual bios or other "break glass in emergency" measures. In short, if you have no problems, why spin the roulette wheel?

" This game is so good when it is not getting in its own way". Perfectly summed up. Great game.

I love this ship. Great farmer and gunboats against DDs. It's AA is also fierce. Only downside is that cruisers aren't afraid to push you due to lack of torps, which forces you to be a 2nd line DD. Bit, playing to its strengths, its a very fun ship.

Ohh, we definitely need a Benham game or 3. IMO the best torp boat dd in the game, and I don't use many torp boat DD's.

Thank you PQ! Getting this ship next and it’s been 1-2 years since last vid.

No submarines and no CVs, and its a FUN GAME!? No way.... Who could have guessed that one!?

Jean Bart please, also, thanks for doing the little insights about your personal life, it's cool that you give us little bits of your day to day, makes your videos a little more personal and fun to watch

Yubari please! Also I've noticed as a harugumo/kitakaze player that DD shells fall short SO MUCH more than BB shells it seems. It's always pulling them down even when it feels like you are aiming significantly above the ship.

Just started playing this game last week and been enjoying your content.

As someone that thinks the slow US BB line is underrated, could we get Kansas next?

That was insane! Great work, great vids.

With turret speed instead of consumables reload same captain build can be shared with Błyskawica and Gdańsk. Also works as very agressive farming build on Smaland and Ragnar. So one 21pt captain can serve one tech-tree and four premiums in European line.

A new BIOS update will often reset the TPM. You will often need to clear the encryption keys or windows won't boot. It's caught me out - turns out on my mobo I needed to press F for the boot to continue and new keys to be ingested. I literally pulling parts trying to figure out what went wrong, till some hero on Reddit reminded me. PS. The TPM keys, not the disc encryption keys, if your are using them, whatever you do, don't wipe those lol.

nice timing, ive been seriously thinking of getting this ship for a while now

What a game! Woo, thought you might pull it out! But those awesome tight games where you do serious work but you just lose can be thrilling, in a bittersweet way.

I have separate builds for my Groningen and Friesland. Swirski lends to a nasty AA/consumable escort playstyle for Friesland, while de Ruyter lends to a gunboat playstyle that can more easily set fires. Ultimately because of Swirski I think Friesland does it’s job better since Groningen can only take advantage of one of de Ruyter’s enhanced skills and there isn’t a unique commander for the Netherlands tree yet.

Your sentiment is the sentiment most people have when playing randoms. Really, there is no reason to ever play a random on this game. Choose a game mode that doesn't allow CVs/subs. Things they would have to fix to make randoms even playable: 1.) No up-down tiering, 2.) Balanced number of div players on each side (no more 4v9). 3.) Skills based matchmaking, based on lifetime w/l. 4.) A Checkbox when queueing to allow no CVs or subs in your queue. That's it, change those things and randoms would be a mode worth playing. Most of the playerbase basically will never play randoms.

Ben blij dat je het Nederlandse scheepje leuk vind.

PQ and I play exactly the same, although I may be a bit better overall. The only difference is he does it in real life and I'm doing it in my dreams while asleep. INCREDIBLE player. Thanks for the videos PQ!!!

Raw fun - loved it.

Great Vid !

Friesland on console is the exact same. Except that it gets a speed boost and a tier lower, at tier 7 (which is tier 8 on pc)

love how with the super cv jets the rocket wait time they added a little while back just doesnt apply

That last game was great! A request for Thunderer.

I want to see you play Vermont or Minnesota. I never see anyone play despite how good they seem to do when I play them

Damn....what a game PQ.

New to the game for one week, your videos are good tutorial material. Some French CA or BB next? Can you also describe which options/signals you added to your build?

Take note. Unless you have a specific problem that updating your bios can solve, dont update it. If you do, dont do it during any storm and ideally have it powered off of a battery backup because if that bios update fails, the motherboard is likely done unless you have one of those fancy gigabyte dualbios boards, those saved me numerous times when i didnt know what i was doing.

the Tromp has torps and you can make use of Airstrikes. This will give you more options I think. Unfortunately, it doesn't get the smoke or Hydro..

Finally thank you :D

Its crazy how you can have 5-7 people in a match virtually do nothing to help you team. Usually terrible positioning and they get farmed and killed within a few minutes.

The duality of WOWS

PQ playing out of his damn mind. great to watch.

Were's my YODO gang?! I want some YODO action!

Good play regardless of the outcome. Fun to watch.

Would be interesting to see Tone - one of the first two hybrid ships, it really hasn't been talked about much since its release.

A "Play next" button that switches control of your ship to a bot could work if you didn't get any rewards from the battle.

How would you use the Kagero? I make use of the high concealment (5.4km) so I can get really near targets but in some games I strugle in making high damage with torps due to the ship´s low HP once I (unluckily) get detected.

Simple question, what are your audio settings ? Your main battery gun sound is so nice :D

Next ship request: Ochakov. Basically the Nevsky at T8!!

struggling to hit a bb at 12km and u still think range is worth it? sure for stationary targets it could be, not convinced though :)

Have you played Elbing since it came out? Do you still like it?

lol D6 code on boot or D3. that's one thing that I'm thankful for having stayed with my b550 aorus master just recently switched to am5 recently cuz like you i said hey why not it's been a year i'm sure bugs have been .... yeah ok. took me all day to post and successfully boot up. i chased my tail cuz my gpu being a 3090 kingpin is still gen 4 but nowhere does the gen 5 x16 slot state anywhere that when you plug in a gen4 in the slot it runs x8 which is x16 in gen 4. so i chased that tail until i read somewhere pcie5 8x4 = pcie4 16x4. anyways lol I love this ship except for its lack of AA i love it lol.(groningen has no AA) i used to stick on my clan members and just distance enough to arc over their bow and lob shells . ooh those days haha.. anyways hope you got the bios figured out

The intro 🔥🔥🔥

how to do free lock while you'r shoting ? the turret seems locked at the target , how ?

I know you didn't say it but when the Asashio went down I thought that was a key moment, I'd have been kicking myself if I'd been playing the Asashio and done that....

I got the groningen for free xp back when that was a thing. Was actually aiming for the Agir but then I got the Agir in a santa container so I spent the free xp on the Groningen instead. Actually quite happy I spent the xp on it rather than Agir. I still like Agir but Groningen is just fantastic whenever the matchmaking is not being evil. Gunboat DDs are just fun.

Here's an idea. Play like a normal player would when getting a new ship or a ship they haven't had for a few weeks, and don't want to use all there commander points to make a 21pt. captain. Use a capt with the average of 10pts like I'm assuming a lot of players have or maybe even less. Like a 6pt capt. to see the difference of gameplay between the top commander and average commander. Too many vids of YT contributors using the top capt's that the average player does not have.

Fries/Gron is my favourite ship, so powerful. 30k definitely is not all you should be expecting in this game, I'm disappointed if I get less than 100k in her

Legendary Kleber always fun

could you do a video on the California, the ship at the end of the sequential bundle added today?

A Warships Mulligan?, I'm on like Donkey Kong!!! 😂🎉 Solid Yes. Great 2nd game. WOW!. Take care PQ and all reading this.

Chikuma II! You've never played it and ya get to press all the buttons. (#18)

So now that both Groningen and Marceau have been done. Which one should we save coal for?

Thank you :D

Like to see the Florida, I have some doubloons and a coupon and was thinking about getting it.

Not gonna lie -- I'll be undocking my Gronigen after I watch this video in full.

I've done that just log out and depending on how often sometimes you get pink sometimes not

Amazing last game. Ship request- Gearing with legendary mod in todays world of warships, please!!!!!!!

Wow I get really good damage out of the Gron. 30k would be a bad game for me. I would say 50-60k. 90-100k+ games are doable with smart play and depending what is in game for ships.

The Fries/ Gron is an absolutely monster in t9 ranked!

Would the t7 Błyskawica (cheap coal DD) play basically the same as the Gronny/Friesland?

It took PQ till almost the twelve minute mark to play that potato boat the right way. You have to farm damage from concealment (smoke or islands) and go nowhere near a cap the entire game. Towards the end of the game you have to bitch in chat that your team sucks because they are down 300 points. That's how you potato boat on the NA server at least. :S

Main gun/tank build Gneisenau next.

Would love to see a Kutuzov, you dont see them anymore.

Where do you get the smoke indicator mod? If it's on ModStation, what's it called again?

Give you 20 more seconds, and that's a different outcome.

i wouldn't have known the constellation has hydro... poor asashio, who checks BBs for consumables :/

would be nice to be able to choose away the ridiculus OP FDR CV

wg. we need to feed the trolls in superships and cvs and subs with T9 ships

A. Regolo ist still looking for some love of you as a single player (no div). Perhaps you can give the italian DD a little love? :)

We want to see mikasa! Part 2

I would like to request Siliwangi, It feels like an odd DD to play & I heard that it got a reload buff in 13.4. Request counter: XX

Mainz!

When will you be doing the 2024 coal destroyers? looking forward!

Btw... the best way to avoid stupid MM and other WG shenanigans is to not play that game anymore - like I do ;-) Still lovin´ your content^^

Do you have Alabama? Also commander should be with only 8 skill points. It's really hard to do this battleship, slow shooting is just sad.

Can we get an Alaska and Congress? American Battle Carries but are still strong ships?

Day 8 mogami 155 secondary build

In have a weak end as well.

Zorkiy next time?

Please get your Paddle out for the War Canoe Okhotnik please PQ ?

"WOWs Can Be So Much FUN!!" - yeah in 1/10 Games. But nice replay ;)

Haland?

the lack of Torps make these DD very vulnerable to a push from BB/Cruiser. Sure, if you have your safespot to farm from its ok. But imho the french ones are wayyy better if you wanna play a Gunboat. Btw how tf did you spot Jäger soo many times xD

the Omono lived so long as a tier 7 cruises made of paper

Orkhan Orkhan!!!!

Groningen vs F. Sherman? Who wins?

starfleet command is for free to play or do pay

ship request: Mikasa main battery build! Sniping at max range

Go next lol, if that happens, cvs and subs are removed.

Maybe Amagi next?

Friesland is cracked on Legends

Would love to see loyang

DUDE you're not kidding about the RAM issue wth AMD lmao my buddy and I avoid AMD only because of that. We were setting up a friend's PC that he'd went with AMD for and we had issues with the RAM, so we stuck with Intel. Not hating on AMD, just terrified of it lol

Can we get a Louisiana in 2024 video?

thats me with dual CV, I just quit out.

hey PQ, could you do a video about the congress in 2024
