  1. Great one SLM, cheers!

  2. I think ill pass on this as i have Alaska. PS..Good show last night.

  3. Go over her qwerks and features and give her a Doug score? It’s tempting cause I love the Alaska but I hate giving money to wargaming so…

  4. Have been in several games against this ship, and can confirm. Espeically since I was rolling in Leander.

  5. I have the Alaska, but I cant take it to T8 Ranked in this season (I wonder why the choice fell for T8 hmm)
    Also your dispersion in this game looked quite good, not like my Alaska recently.

  6. Great video. I think you have sold me to give WG some cash after 3 years!

  7. Aside from the usual “money-grab/clone” thing, this is a solid boat and fun to play. Nicely tanky, good guns, maybe not the most nimble, but certainly not bad. If you don’t have an Alaska, it is well worth it. I have an AK, the Congress is very familiar to play. The price is not out of line for a Tier 8 premium. But that is just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

  8. @Crap Tacular ouch

  9. Nah, unlike Alaska this thing has trash tier firepower. Overmatch sure but no reload nor accuracy.

    Also, all tier 6 cruisers get dumpstered by tier 8s so Congress isn’t an exception

    As always, entertaining video!

  11. Ah yes, the opposite of progress.

  12. the fact that it’s a Large cruiser and named Congress pisses me off, it should be named after a US territory, like: Hawaii, Guam, Panama, Virgin Islands, etc.
    also as you mentioned in the video the Turret layout is incorrect since when this ship was first announced they claimed it was CA2-F. One of the things all the large cruiser preliminary designs had in common was at least 1 3-gun turret aft. this was because they US designers wanted a ship that could engage targets from multiple angles incase it was surrounded by enemy cruisers and 3 guns was decided to be the minimum to engage a target/direction.

  13. T8 CW season Will be like restrict mini Alaska or ban him, ban kutuzov, BAN Enterprise, ban Enterprise, and… ban Enterprise? Yeah.

  14. I think it’ll also be nice for ranked seasons. That’s the only reason I’m still considering her.

  15. Thanks for the review. Got the Alaska when it first came out so I am going to pass on this one. Wish they would come out with the Saratoga in Battle Cruiser setup.

  16. The three gun turret at the top bugs me.

    • In reality, on some ships, like the Pensa, the hull wasnt wide enough to support the widht of a triple turret without weakening the hull structure too much.

      Here ? Idk, seems stupid, since its the Alaska hull 100%, and could easily support a triple turret close to the bow. Not to mention, raised triple turret barbette is adding much more weight, which could have been used elsewhere, on armor, for example.

  17. I was waiting to ….but based on WG locking ships and events through massive paywalls and loot boxes… now I am not sure if it will be reasonably obtainable anymore.. @sea lord Mountbatten what you think ?

  18. I dont see it for sale!

  19. @Hidalgo House Not surprising, everyone knows you can only buy congress if you are super rich.

  20. I bought it cause I can’t resist spending lol, but after citadeling a yammy I don’t regret the decision

  21. Thank you SLM,
    But even if you have Alaska, if you play competitive it could be a viable ship.
    Yes?

  22. Just get Jean Bart a better tier 9

  23. @Hidalgo House check in the armory not the premium shop

  24. Arizona Anime-Fan

    Odin has much better armor. Frankly you have to get a t10 Russian to find armor as good. Problem with the Odin is the current meta (long range fire starters) plays exactly to it’s weaknesses (low hps, easily set on fire), oh and the Odin’s guns aren’t impressive.

  25. Vytautas Vaiciunas

    @therepublic21 JB is just an average BB. Overated af

    @Buck Motzko Check on the top page in the armoury. Not in the ship section.
