Thank you so much sir for your videos
Really….ANOTHER soviet cruiser >.<
+Underbird [former X8X8] lmao….
+Skeem689 Now that smoke is basically obsolete in a lot of ways it’s time to bring it back. Kutz/Belfast old bag of tricks aren’t nearly as strong as they used to be. Hardly play the former anymore. Never had Belfast but you almost never see them either, sitting in smoke is basically instant death lol
It utilises AP more than HE?…….. What?
Well at least it is an actual cruiser, and not a battleship in disguise this time.
Love the new reworked for the Zipangu port. Like if you agree!
I like cookies. Like if you agree.
Reichskeks I like Cookies too. Like if you agree.
Remibds me a butnof Karate Kid2
Huanghe is awesome. What are you talking about, Notser? =D
The number of tier 8 games that I have carried in that ship is unreal…
There is a reason why its called huang-meh
+Ivan Buncic News to me! lol I love that ship
+Daniel Morgan Me too! One of my favorites. Good DD hunter.
The Lazo looks like it will explode if even looked at by a BB while the Irain is a MK without smoke but gimmicky torps that maybe you might use once per game,going to pass on both of these. WG premium ships have really sucked of late with none of them been really good.
+Tiago Casquinho No, for example I don’t find Scharnhorst to be stronger than Gneisenau. More fun? Definitely. Stronger? No. People like to talk about “pay-to-win” and “op premiums” but it is only an excuse. People call ships like “Konig Albert” with 11.9 km range overpowered when you have free Bellerophon with 15 km range (range isn’t everything of course but Bellerophon has armor as well for example).
Many premiums can be fun, for example Ishizuchi. But Orion is stronger. Some premiums are unfun like Texas but balanced. And some are just not needed like Duke of York and Indianapolis. So saying that “The rest is just being stronger versions of the normal ships, while not having something special” is incorrect in my opinion.
jason oshea I just want a Yamato Class aircraft carrier, USS New Jersey with the CIWS and tomahawks, the Russian or Italian BB line.
ironically, because its armor is so low you’re probably best broadside on to BB’s, because overpens will be very likely.
But yes, having played the shchors (which this basically is), I can attest to it being very squishy, but quite a fun ship honestly.
Russian cruisers don’t need armour, all they need is a good commissar. The glory of communism will deflect all imperial/ capitalist shells and they will miss the ship. Or was it good maneuvering, I forgot.
Don’t forget Stalinium!
Strictly speaking, Lazo isn’t actually a Kutuzov design. She’s of the Project 68 design which is in-game as the Chapayev whereas the Kutuzov was the 68bis design. So, Lazo is basically a Tier VII Chapayev.
Pat The Riot i couldnt find any info about it though, even searching russian sources
+Sarp Kaplan Admittedly I’ve only seen any posted information on the design itself through WoWs Gamer Blog and their page on the Lazo. I know that the ship was never officially slated for production. Though, even just glancing at it, it more resembles the Chapayev design rather than the Sverdlov-class (Kutuzov) or other ships in the tech tree.
+Pat The Riot Definitely looks like the Lazo is based on the Chappy design while the Irian is part of the actual Kutuzov (Sverdlov) design. Just glance at their turn radius’ to start. Lazo sporting that massive chappy turn radius while the Irian has the slightly more tame Kutu radius.
+Raigir And unlike Lazo, Irian was an actual ship that started as the Ordzhonikidze in the Soviet Navy but was sold in 1962.
A tier 7 chapayev… so a shchors then XD
from what i can tell it’s really similar to a shchors, with more HP and 500m further range, but less torpedoes (shchors has 2 *4) but hey… 4km range so who cares.
slightly lower AA, pretty much same concealment and maneuverability and 2 knots slower.
Did someone notice that there is not much difference between shors, the T7 regular cruiser and this premium one? To be fair, it is just a stock chapaev, which is close to that anyway. I mean if all of the viewers are creaming, hell yes, I want it, just buy yourself a shors and you ahve the same ship. Lazo is as interesting a Prinz Eugen, but instead of complaining everyone praising it for a reason.
Notser, maybe you also higlight this fact? Or why don’t you present the whole russian cruiser line if they are that interesting and amazing
Funny thing is, you can say the same about most premiums. Quite a lot are basically copies of the same tech tree ship with some slight changes… Sure you can look at them as different ships because real life , or say they’re a ship from another tier at a lower tier, but they’re still mostly the same as the existing one. Cept they’re better off than non premiums so why bother with them in the first place :p
Welp, got the kutuzov, so gonna hard pass…..
PDX. Same for me. Don’t see much reason to get the Lazo.
Where is my Alaska????????
I just purchased the Kronshtadt because i couldn’t wait any longer. I they bring the Alaska next Patch i’d revolt…
Seriously. I’m getting tired of waiting.
I just want to know what happened with Jean Bart.
I ain’t paying $$$ for a Premium ship with a “trait” any more. I want substance for my money, not just a ‘trait’ different from a main line ship. No more copy main line ship, wiggle this a little, release as overpriced Premium. NO MORE!
I’m thankful I got my ‘true’ premiums when they were released. KKR, Kutazov, Belfast, and everyone’s favorite cash machine, the Missouri 🙂
Kek, miss is literally Iowa with radar, kutuz is basically chapaev with smoke instead of radar and a bit more gun range, belfast is Edinburgh at t7 with HE and radar instead of heal. Yeah buddy your prem ships are totally not copy paste
+VAN DARKHOLME kek 2.0 I’m still waiting to see original ships that are worth getting and won’t be fucked by either mm or other same tier ships, nor be OP ……… Yeeeea
+Just a random Horse. well I recently got Kronshtadt and I quite enjoy it, not a piece of paper like most cruisers, good guns, however dispersion can be shitty at times
Tier 8 cruiser that will be uptiered to T10 and Ranked is T10 too. Why bother? Now where is my freaking Alaska?
Neither are compelling. Both will be constantly uptiered and seal clubbed in T10. Torps on neither are good. I’m NOT a fan of DWT’s. And 4km torps are practically useless.
What’s needed far more than ANOTHER Russian cruiser, or a cruiser for a tree that doesn’t have a cruiser line, is a new RN premium cruiser. Brits haven’t had one since WG pulled the Belfast.
We can get the Arethusa at T5/6, although it only has 6 guns and as such will struggle sometimes
To me:
Lazo = not happening.
Ariane = maybe to likely.
It’s Irian!
WOWS has become very stale. It needs the graphics overhaul like WoTs engine. Immersion is needed.
This game will end up with more Soviet ships than the Soviet Navy actually ever had!
If the Soviets ever get a BB line that will be true with that line alone, lol.
This game will turn into a watery World of Tanks minus premium ammunition. Japanese ships will be forever neglected like the infamous German tanks, Swedish aircraft carriers will have the strangest gimmick and Polish battleships will only be outcompeted by their Russian equivalents.
+Peter So very true. I was in Closed Beta, bought the Yubari, an excellent AA cruiser, and once open beta was on, they nerfed it and nerfed it more with every patch. No compensation, nothing, want your money back? Fuck you, we’ve spent it on vodka and potatoes! And just to add salt into the wounds, they make legendary ships meh, whilst glorious paper ships can be O/P. Balance? Do they test their work? I suspect not. Belfast. Kutozov, Gremy? No longer on sale, because O/P. But I bet they will be on sale one day, when sales are down, for a silly price. Just like Pzkw IIJ in WoT. Mean while I’ll try to have fun with what I’ve got.
+Peter did you hear your self, its a GAme, THEY SHOULD ADD EVEN MORE IT BEING ONLY A GAME, OR ARE THEY TRYING TO MAKE IT ACCURATE, TO REAL , WITH ITS NOT.CUZ ITS ONLY A GAME.
Where is my freaking Jean Bart, Bourgogne, Alaska…??? they should stop this …and finally release some ships
THe Irian seems realy interesting… HuangHe also got torpreloadbooster.. this leads to some interessting gameplay
