Loading...Emerald is a tier 5 british light cruiser, which I personally consider to be okey.
I heard a lot of bad thing about this ship but I find it quite decent.
It has the traits of british light cruisers that can work quite nicely if played properly. It also has the bad onces, like getting once shotted if giving broadside etc but there’s always RNG xD
Enjoy and have fun watching 😉

Well, to be fair, compared to other cruisers of the tier….
Just because your sword is a few inches shorter, doesn’t mean you won’t kick the ass of anyone that doesn’t know how to sword fight in the first place.
well said
Plus you have a giant boot to kick ass with if the enemy charges you (8 torps per side) and a cloak to hide behind (smoke). 🙂
@Thomas Kositzki FACTS
Emerald was and is awesome, i’ve pulled of some impressive stuff in the Emerald simply bcs no one expected me to do much.
I once met a Genisi which thought yolo’ing me in my smoke was agood idea. XD I died, but so did he. T5 CL vs T7 BB, decent trade.
@Ace_04 Likewise. It made all other T5 cruisers a pain to play though as they felt so sluggish and you didn’t have that lovely single fire torp spread.
@Thomas Kositzki wth is Genisi? Is that Gneisenau?
@AKUJIRULE Jup, Gneisenau. Sorry to confude you, that is how we call it in our clan. 🙂
Its not completely bad but requires more skill to do well since having only AP isnt very good when up tiered, since i always end up in T7 games in it and the AP mostly bounces unless i aim for the super structure.
Think you show cased the new US BB line quite well; “This New York has been charging us for the last 7 minutes and I don’t feel he’s getting any closer”. Could apply to all of them for sure 🙂
I love Colorado because she is so fast !
NY is and old line ship…
Conjures images of Lancelot charging from Monty Python.
I found Emerald to be… interesting, and even fun at close to medium ranges. That torpedo stopping power is seriously nothing to scoff at. But the guns, for me, are just far too anemic; calibre, shell type, and especially arrangement. Was sick of shattering everything and getting citadelled in return.
@Aditya Tomar Thats the best comment I have seen in a while xD
Against anything with the decent army you simply have to go superstructure. at decent ranges it is still perfectly capable of citadeling other white cruisers. I found my key to survival being to pretend I’m a destroyer but with the citadel. Don’t get seen to the greatest extent possible. Stand up battles usually don’t end very well for you unless they have more important stuff to shoot at.
@Aditya Tomar I’m sure you’ve used this one before
@Leonidas Daemon No suprisingly I haven’t
@Aditya Tomar haha was well on point
My favorite ship is Leander, me and my two friends once pushed an entire flank of t8 ships with just a torp dd and 2 leaders, we 3 against 7 enemies… We all did over 130k dmg and had 8 kills in the ens
Emerald Just Handles More Like a Destroyer
Emerald is all fun and games until you meet someone on the enemy team who is doing a citadel directive… Even a noob can land citadels on Emerald, all it takes is for RNG to take a shit on you. However, it did prove to be a learning experience on how to play glass cannon cruisers. All the punishment received in Emerald thought me how to play Edinburgh and Neptune, which feel like uptiered Emeralds with better guns and torps
“This New York has been charging us for the last 7 minutes and I don’t feel he’s getting any closer”. reminded me of the Monty Python film, “The Holy Grail” scene where Sir Galahad charges a castle alone. He is watched by 2 guards at the door for a min as he is observed not getting any closer, then suddenly blam he is on them.
Nobody expects the spanish inquisition!
I started replying with the same thing when I saw this. I laughed out loud when Flambass said that, it was the first thing I thought. Good thing my boss can’t hear me.
It was Sir Lancelot
It’s still bad, you just got lucky that the CV didn’t delete you in those two AP bomb drops, and that the BBs didn’t pay any attention to you.
as the person playing the Weser in that match, i will take him getting frustrated with me as a compliment. love how trying to protect my teams cap is “toxic”
@NormusDiabolus Also, on top of this, Crystal was detected multiple times and *FIRED ON* at multiple times.
“Zero risk”? Sure mate. Sure.
@NormusDiabolus Ok, that was a typo. Thanks for pointing that out. What I meant was “AA is only useless against people who *DO* know what they are doing.” I guess I had multiple things in my head at the same time, there.
But please, go straight for the straw man. Also, nice edit on your original comment to remove all the crap you now deny existed! 😉
@Notsofamous one i didn’t even know what his ingame name is and i never even watch his streams too. been grinning all day now haha
I loved the Emerald when I first got her, for T5 crs she is pretty good generally speaking. These days I also have the Atago which has a similar torp setup to the Emerald and she is a blast when I’m having a good day on WoW.
Hold up. Dreadnought achievement. IN AN EMERALD. i mean she has a heal but still. wow
Is it me or is Flambass becoming more and more dark in his thoughts and his commentary.
yeah he used to be happier and more expressive. I hope he is ok
CVs kill the fun…
@AKUJIRULE its not CVs
His Tarkov gameplay and commentary is a lot more upbeat. He’s loving that more than WoWS right now.
@Trevor Gilbert I know and get that he might enjoy one game over the other. It was more a statement that someone might need to hear sometimes because it’s something he might be missing himself. How much darker he has gotten in his commentary and thoughts while playing WoWs.
Emerald is one of t
my best ships everyone underestimates the guns and she has decent torps. Literally ambushed a kongo at close range he overpen me but sinks soon after from the torp wall
His face when he get shot blind and it’s a one shell citadel lmao
Emerald becomes OP when you run Expert Loader on it.
“Damn the torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead!” how engineers adjust the equipment to restrain vainglorious captains…….USA battleships before WW2
if you want a challenge, play in Duca de Osta, try to reach 100k in damage.
I for my part did like this ship as well, but it is not like the Fiji.
