Loading...Dunkerque is a interesting ship, we take a look at it in a couple games. First game is on Estuary where I push a flank dominated by the enemy. We try to play it similar to the Izumo, bow on and maximize the angling against incoming fire. The game becomes pretty close, we try our best to salvage a victory from a defeat. The second game we find the strong flank and provide supporting fire as bottom tier. Hope both games serve to inform you and hope you have a wonderful day!
Tier VI French Battleship Dunkerque Replay
so the secondaries on the french ship are mounted in the back, because it’s
helpful at retraiting… should I pop the French joke? naaah, someone else
should do it, it’s so obvious.
The ship really dissapointed me since I really like the looks of it. But
having seen a couple of reviews of it made me appreciate it for what it is.
A Battlecruiser nothing more nothing less. It should be played like that.
Though many of the stats of the ship is shit lets be honest WG cannot
double the armor since it didn´t have that in real life and the stats seem
quite true to the real ship. I like the Tier 6 bracket it´s more forgiving
and sometimes more fun then higher tiers but at least I think this ship
should get Preferencial MM up to only Tier 7 to neglect it´s flaws. Because
lets be honest most players who buy won´t have these games Notser´s having.
I think I will buy the ship though depending on the price because I love
the looks of her and I love hunting cruisers.
Though Scharnhorst is a way better cruiser hunter I believe though Im not
that interested in the German BB line to be honest. I hope the Dunky at
least get´s Pref MM.
so Dunkerque do u have any dates?
Kinda weird we call our ships “she” then. The French were really the
founders of studying military science and military trainers had a huge
influence on the US military because of the revolutionary war, which is why
we use so many French pronunciations vs British Military’s pronunciations,
(“lieutenant” vs “leftenant”) and tons of words/phrases (cantonment, cadre,
epirite de corps, exc.)
the worst mm for this ship would be a t8 match with a t8 strike CV in the
enemy team or 2 t7 strike CVs xD, in matches like this you really need to
make love with some AA CLs/CAs xD
Good job to WG to keep pumping out the content, meanwhile Gaijin are
becoming assholes to what they are doing with their coastguard forces only
because of retarded bias.
setting a point that comes ship ?
FRANCE loves you Notser. I asked.
If it was ap at 25:40 you would have done 4k cause more than half would
bounce , he is better in every scenario with this ship , I feel ap is there
just to troll you .
Hey Notser, any chance that you might do a video looking at location of
cits on BBs or perhaps looking closer at the dynamic crosshair as I noticed
you have more or less switched over from the static crosshair? Thanks for
all the great content thus far!
From the way she was designed, she’s a cruiser hunter and should not
attempt to engage BBs alone.
ever since they introduced the detailed ribbons, they arent making much
sense.
Notser, thanks for the video. I’ve decided I will purchase the Scharnhorst,
but I’m going to pass on Dunkerque. I keep hoping that the German BB line
will actually be fun.
If I were in the Warspite I have ave oneshotted that 5km pepsi!! no matter
the angle!
It is not very often that the 5 or so WOWS Tubers I sub to agree on a ship
but all have said this ship is not worth buying. Based on the past several
premium ships WG has put out it seems they have lost the idea of giving us
more bang for our buck
Notser, the tecnical term for describing the angle of fire effect of having
the gus close together vs widely separated is parallax. This ship has
comparitively small parallex effects.
Notser did you know in real the Dunkerque class had a armored bulkhead
divided the 2 guns from the other so that a shell knocks 2 guns out the
other 2 are safe.
Notser, how come nobody has mentioned that the Dunkerque has a fighter
aircraft!
This ship looks like garbage compared to every other tier 6 battleship…
every review Ive seen has either been outright negative, or lukewarm at the
best.
Dunkek
Awesome review…. probably be a port slot but probably never use it much.
Ship looks awesome WG is great for that
Notser likes to take damage? I never realized he was such a masochist.
Hey Notser what are your thoughts on the Alaska Class Battlecruiser? Now
that we are seeing Battlecruisers slowly being added. Do you think the game
has a place for an over sized Baltimore Class cruiser mounting 9 x 12inch
guns and a whole lot of AA guns.
I usually buy premium ships, but I’ll pass on this one and not just because
it looks like a chore to get it to perform: I prefer to have a premium ship
of a nationality that has a tech tree, or at least another premium ship of
the same nationality, and preferably the same type.
If the Dunkerque was more like the Blyskawica, the only Polish ship likely
to ever be in WoWS, but very playable, it would be tempting.
The problems premium ships from non-tech tree nations pose are minor
enough, but noticeable.
My Warspite captain and my Campbeltown captain have entirely opposite skill
requirements, so you can’t swap them if you want to focus on one captain.
Even my Anshan and Lo Yang captains are barely interchangeable, as the two
DD’s main batteries are quite different from each other.
I have yet to take any of the little girl ships out even once, mainly
because they creep me out, but even if the little girls with dinner-plate
sized eyes didn’t bother me, the ships themselves are ugly as sin.
Assuming I could get past all that, and I can’t, I would be better off
running my non-creepy grown-up man IJN captains in their IJN ships for the
XP.
Expect some Dunkek fan art soon, Notser!
So the verdict is, you WILL lose to a good enemy in ANY other tier 6 BB.
Warspite pens your bow, New Mex/Arizona are immune to your guns, fuso will
drown you in shells. In fact the one thing you are good at,
stereo-typically, is running away, and you cant even fire back while doing
so. Ill save my money.
In spain you usually use masculine example the DD fletcher is in spanish
e”l destructor” being “el” same as “the” but for saying “the ship” you can
use both “el barco” (masculine) or la nave (feminine) but usual the names
for classes (BB CA and that stuff) are always in masculine
its a ship for skilled players, u can get good results if u know how to use
it strenghts, and cover its weaknesses! but i think most average players
(like me) is gonna hate this ship! statistically its just worse than any
other tier 6 bb! its definetly possible to do good in this ship, u just
have to work harder, so is it worth the effort?
I was on the enemy team but I played with you although not sure if it’s in
the vid
Was in the stream but had to go super early so I only saw you showing the
stats, but I think I’ll get this ship, is very good looking plus something
about those quad turrets….
don’t lie notser the ship is just a joke its ok you don’t need to make the
ship look useful
There’s also a saying I believe that goes like “A sailor has two wives. His
wife who he leaves behind and the ship he serves on” I believe that has
something to do with the calling of ships “she”
Russians or at least the Soviets call their ships he
DPM, dispersion, AA, speed, armor, turning and HP all seem similar to the
Kongo. Yes, it has all guns forward, but then again, it has slightly
smaller guns with slightly less pen and slightly less range.
So; are there any hidden aspects of the ship that makes it feel stronger
than a Kongo and justify being a tier higher?
(Oh, and it *does* actually have the Fuso’s rate of fire: 2.1 shots per
minute)
notser can yon make a preview about the USS gearing if you would not mind ,
and I want to know what do you prefer the gearing or the khoba (tier 10
Russian DD)? I confused which to choose
and sorry for the annoying you.
yay I made a Noter video! I was the one who closed the stream to not stream
snipe.
So French ships are already rare and then they make it ‘not worth the
money’ to say the least. I guess there will be buffs, because not many
people will buy it when it gets outperformed by other ships.
yay I made a Noter video! I was the one who closed the stream to not stream
snipe.
so you’re saying that you are a masochist. i mean concluding from what you
said before “i like taking damage”
Every single YouTube channel of players I watch (about 4 including you)
have concluded this thing simply isn’t worth the money, not only because of
no French line for ages as you pointed out, but because it has only 2
strengths (all bow armament and excellent speed for tier 6) while it has
multiple, significant weaknesses (poor armour, poor accuracy with main
guns, lower RoF than Fuso, laughably poor AA, HUGE size, poor secondary
placement..and so on…quite a list).
WG will probably sell plenty on that basis because resons.
One thing I’m surprised you didn’t comment on was that the 25mm bow armour
effectively means if you go bow on against any tier 7+ BB (and the
Warspite) they can lolpen straight through it.
Really an oversized battlecuiser, in fact designed to counter the German
so-called ‘Pocket Battleships’ 11″ guns, which are the same as the
Scharnhorst’s of course. Given how much BS WG invents about the ships in
this game, however, I doubt that counts for anything.
Wasnt this a part of the stream?
Edit: Never mind… Just watched further into the video… “This was in the
stream yesterday”
I’ve seen a few videos of the Dunkerque in action now and one thing stuck
out to me. She seems to perform better with HE loaded. Even the dispersion
kinda looked better, which shouldn’t be possible, but it somehow looked
like it. Maybe she’s an HE ship?
Can you shoot yourself with this ship? :D
Took long enough for those secondaries to get the kill. Those things shoot
all over the place; kinda funny to watch.
Notser is the ap broken ? I see u get 970 ap damage most of the time. and
why is it mostly over pens
German ships are female as well.
Suddenly every premium ship is expected to be good?
I have been playing since Jan 1, 2016 and have yet to swap out commanders,
ever. Is it a bad idea to have separate commanders for every ship?
I think the habit of naming warships her is relatively new
because in the age of sail a warship was called a Man-of-war
ok notser, ive been running a 15 pt troll all eggs in 2ndary basket in my
tirpitz, it’s amazing, and fun too! since the tirpitz has such crappy
dispersion, without aim mod it makes it a bit more challenging at range,
then forces u to play strengths and brawl, but since the german 2ndary
gunners are crackshots, they spray lead all over your enemies from 6.8kms
out and still hit them spot on! way more accurate than my iowa. so much
fun. i got 2 double strikes and 2 cqb kills in a match yesterday with 6
kills ending, i should fish thru and find it send it to you. all happened
within 5 mins too, was nuts. u gotta run it, film it, for the lols
Just want to thank you Notser for answering about 5 of my questions last
night, I fell very welcome watching :)
Notser do you have a Twitter? I think it’d be great if you had one as its a
great way to tell people when you’re streaming (people will check Twitter
much more often than their sub boxes in my experience)
I think it’d be great for you, and you’d get a bunch more viewers (I keep
missing your streams)
If you do get one, please link it in your description!
Thanks, and keep the amazing vids coming :)
Logical idea to go to D ? how about C ?
Vive La France !
I honestly think that ship should be tier V
So reviews of the Dunkerque have been less than stellar so far. I’d like to
still get the ship because I am a collector of ships myself. I really hope
that WG does change something about the ship before it’s released. Remember
when the Indianapolis was first introduced and community contributors were
commenting on how bad the armour on it was? We could have another one of
those situations on our hands…. I hope
Notser salesman confirmed.
First Youtuber i see rating the Dunkek mediocre. xD
In regards to the stream sniping…..isn’t there a delay to twitch?
notser do you think there will be other carriers then Japanes and USA ?
review on German BBs not yet permitted?
FRENCH POWA ! Et vive les navires français !
Any hints on which commander skills one should have in a German battleship?
Should come pre-equiped with a white flag! Effect: +30% speed when
reversing., 4head kappa
Notser, the reason why ships are taken as female, is because they take so
long to build and are expensive to maintain.
Ive seen these battles 🙁 Hopefully we get some original content tomorrow
;)
…because americans Know how to name. Simple.
Lets see your opinion
Thanks for calling Dunkerque a he. It always gets me when anglophones think
every country has feminine ships.
Pulling a Notser!!!
Wainting for anti-french jokes
hello notser cool vid :D
First! 39 sec after upload. .____.
