Loading...The protection issue has been FIXED!! I go over her strengths, weaknesses, module and captain choices. I also provide a few suggestions on how she should be played. Now that her armour is fixed, the Indianapolis can be played much more aggressively when she is top tier, however you should still avoid battleships if you can. In the event you are bottom tier against tier 8 and 9 ships, the Indianapolis should be played as a support cruiser. Still, she has definitely improved and should be quite a good ship to play. Anyways, enjoy the review 😀

I always wonder hwo you can rack up these citadell hits. That’s amazing.
Thanks for that update! I love my Pensacola, so its defenitely a go. :D
atago or this ship?
So do you think it’s worth it now chase ? And look like the armor might
bounce a few cruiser or DD AP shells now ??
Thanks for the update.
everyone I need help on my channel plz
Chase, could you test Indianapolis As vs Atlanta as? pls!? I want to decide
what to purchase. Keep up your videos can!
Chase, Great Review and match but i have a question, what mod do you use
that makes the ships show up on the side of the screen? I’m currently using
aslains but not quite sure which to select for that. if you could help that
would be great, keep making good videos :)
Very happy to see you back
BEFORE U EVEN READ MY MESSAGE: I understand that everybody hates these
advertisements but quite frankly I am too lazy to try to get views the
legit way so here I am. I was even to lazy to write out “you” in the first
sentence of this message. 🙂
Anyway please come check out my youtube channel its not that great but some
people might like it and it will probably get better and funnier in the
next few weeks once school gets out. Once that happens I plan on uploading
daily unless I forget or I don’t feel like it. Thanks so much for reading
and see you there.
“I suck at times at aiming!” – *has 13 citadels*
hey chase I just got flagged for TKing because a friendly on 607 HP came in
front of my kawachi when there was an enemy BB 2.7 KM away, and you know
how it goes, my secondaries killed him and so I lose 10000 credits and 150
XP and flagged pink for AI’s mistake… what do ido?
Thanks for the update! Looks better now. Fun to read the chat 🙂 You very
active answering questions :)
this or the atlanta? both cost $35 at the moment
Since the Indianapolis is tier 7, does that mean that the Altanta will be
removed?
Yo chase does Citadel Overpen actually possible?
A Pensacola could be penned by a rabbit on the shore throwing rocks. :p
the only question is: how long will it be good xD,
Indianapolis now on sale in NA for $45.60 cdn. Atlanta sells for $53.64
cdn. Not a tough choice. :-)
YAY! thats me in the video Ninja_Chacha. :D
Hey Chase, any idea when they will be introducing the ship into the game?
I had in a situation that an almost bow in Pepsi and I can multiple
citadels him with AP on Kutuzov. Caliber definitely smaller than Indi. That
Pepsi is basically a floating citadel 😀 Also, dispersion on this ship feel
like Zao, especially that final salvo!
more armor
better concealment
extra 1 gun at bow
i like Pensacola and will get this ship.
What mods do you use?
Should I get the Molotov or Indianapolis ?? I like how both the Pensacola
and Kirov plays so am kinda torn between choosing.
Thanks for the updated review, iChase. After the first review, I was
definitely a no-go for this ship, but now she is looking far more
attractive. Keep up the great videos!
Does the indy still have the 16mm armor at the bow and stern or was that
fixed.
cool video Chase!
Thank yo man. Scared of the armor protectio, but now im probably going to
buy it. Hopefully you dont get stabed by a kid today. lol
Hi Chase. I have 2 replays for you to look at. Kongo Bongo in a T7 match
and a Mini with 10K+ EXP.

Uploaded on the same day as Eurobeat? World of Indianapolis incoming?
thanks for the video chase, appreciated!
however I have a little question in yankees’ 203s penetration ability when
it comes to against angled ships.
I really think that citadel you did was simply due to the lack of armour on
a pensacola. While I was working my way up from pensa to now in a baltimore
(still suffering from it…) I find US 203s having “just” about average
penetration, whereas no problem when target showing broadside, but a pain
in the as* when them angled or bowed in.
Just expressing my own opinion&experience, no offense. 🙂
always enjoyed ur video, keep up the good work~
Thanks for the update. You mentioned being top tier.
? I played 10 games yesterday and I was top tier in only 1. One was a T10
battle so don’t count. This happens more often than not. Also my 1st game
of the day seems that I always get pulled up 2 tiers. Anyone else have this
issue?
Good review , thank you. I had a game yesterday were I got a detonation on
a Cleveland with HE from my NY in the first minute of game play !? Never
thought it possible? According to the other player I hit him on one of his
rear turrets.
The Indianapolis could never replace the Atlanta in my port
Which ship would win in a pure head-on duel, the New Orleans or the
Indianapolis?
Indianapolis can be very good in team games or rank battles, a DD hunter
and a crusier killer. I want that ship now! Thanks for the update Review
Chase ^_-
greetings from India on the NA server?
When will it be released to the SEA servers?
I guess I’ll buy this ship only if it’s cheap, I already have Marblehead as
a trainer and I don’t really need another US premium cruiser. For credits
gathering I’m waiting for a high tier premium destroyer that I can use with
my already trained captains, not like the currently available isolated
ships of nations with no tech-trees.
Nice ship and review. As a Minekaze player gonna have to read up about
radar, didn’t know they had that in the game!
As much as I like the additions of new premiums, I can’t help thinking WG
has some of their priorities in the wrong place. I would much prefer they
focus on adding regular ships and new tech trees.. Such as the Royal Navy!!
Yes.. Yes.. I’m British so obviously I’ll complain that they haven’t added
the worlds oldest and largest (at the times this game was set) navy *sarcasm
alert*.
Also on another point, the premiums being introduced into the game seem to
be, in some cases, better than the equivalent regular ships. If you look at
the “dream team” show games at the eSports event in Poland a few months
ago, nearly every ship was a premium. iChase – what are your thoughts on
this? Is there a danger of the game becoming pay2win?
it did be sad to see if the Atlanta end up left FUBAR like the kitakami and
got removed in the future whereas the Indianapolis took her place: afterall
I would rather prefer a unique weaponry layout ship as a Prem rather than
having a slight buffed/modded ship of a specific class, much like the
Atago, while being s takao class CA but by all means weaponry wise is just
another Myoko class with a little better performance and up a tier. If they
did use the Remodeled AA cruiser Maya instead I did be happy, just like
where Atlanta, while being magneto to all hurts but least to say she’s one
heck of a AA dark zone.
at times we all suck
Hey Ichase remember the pts talk for 0.5.5 you mentioned the kagero toros
going 81 knots or something like that. Can you show a video of it?
From what it seems the Indianapolis is like the New Orleans, layout of AA
and guns, but with Pensicola health; funny thought though, at tier 8 non of
the Destroyers seem to be able to counter radar, or even expect radar to be
used against them.
Love the videos Ichase
So how does it compare to Pensacola and New Orleans, I love both ships
When is it getting released?
Kudos! You said you would update when info came available and you did.
Thanks. Good to hear your voice without the trauma.
whats with that waterline issue so frequently? they dont see the paint job?
How do i sent replays? DO i need to record replay and send that or can i
send the raw “.wowsreplay” file?
Does a 147k damage game in Minekaze sound good to send it?
I wish I could trade in my Atlanta straight across for her.
much better…if u no see any bb in all round u can’t say that is much
better, it’s only about a tVII cruiser raping others tV-tVI cruisers.
“The Indie was too fragile and took citadels from everything, but it’s been
fixed now.”
Meanwhile on the Pensacola…
12:28 You don’t suck at aiming, pretty sure AP and HE shell velocities are
different enough to make switching shell types disorienting at first.
Maybe we could make the Houston, a Northampton class, into a tier 6 cruiser?
(her number 3 turret will either be permanently unusable or really weak
compared to number 1 or number 2 turrets.)
The indy is front armored according to jingles, no?
It’s still so very sad that little 6 and 8 inch Cruiser guns perform SO
MUCH BETTER than anything carried by Battleships… Twice the firepower per
gun, twice the guns, twice the firing rate, 10x the accuracy…
Who is ready for the Nic Cage Indianapolis movie? For the PBY they wrecked,
I hope it is… But its Nic Cage, so….
have you ever talked to the devs about the state off the montana chase?
I am curious about how my play-style will change when I get to the
high-tier cruisers with half decent armour. At present, with my T6
cruisers, I prefer to dodge and dance like a drunk ballerina. Angling
against even 6 inch AP rarely seems to help in the T6s. I do wonder just
how effective the heavy cruisers can be when forced to tank against other
cruisers.
Good second review. Thanks man.
Is the atlanta being replaced by the Indianapolis, or is the Indi becoming
a new T7 premium cruiser?
I will do you all favor, and not buy her. Whenever I buy a premium ship,
never fail they nerf It. For me It’s a sucker bet.
An equally important question: is it balanced?
It seems to basically be a Pensacola with better armour, range, guns and
detection and slightly less health.
Oh and radar.
Welcome back, Chase. This update is encouraging to hear. LWM & Lert’s
review seemed to be rather unfavorable. One even mentioned the Atlanta was
preferable in terms of being a fun ship, if I remember right.
That seems like a solid amount of credits, what’s your impression of
Indianapolis as a credit earner?
Thanks Chase, for not just sorting thru the bull and giving us a
level-headed analysis of this ship – but also taking the time to test out
it’s bugs, sending in the reports to get them fixed, and helping those of
us who might end up spending money get a decent ship – thanks for all your
efforts.
At the end of the day, when considering whether or not to buy a premium
ship, I usually end up watching your detailed analysis to see what makes
the ship tick, if it’s balanced, any features I might find a turn-off, if
it would fit my playstyle – and then I watch what Jingles has to say, to
see whether or not it would be a “fun” ship to play. LOL, as crazy as that
sounds, it works for me – because at the end of the day, I play this game
for enjoyment and to have fun – it could be the best ship in the game, but
what’s the point of buying it if it’s only going to sit in your port
because you don’t enjoy playing it?
The Indy certainly seems to have generated some divided opinions – on the
NA forum, they’re basically saying the ship is crap, along with all other
high tier USN cruisers – mediocre armor, mediocre guns, long reload, floaty
shell arcs, it’s not fast enough, rudder shift is too slow, it’s radar is
worthless, an Atlanta would be more fun to play, it dies to BB’s and HE, it
doesn’t have torps, etc – IOW, it’s not armored like a Budy and doesn’t
have Tier 9 rail guns like a Molotov.
OTOH, you, Jingles, and Flamu have noted that while it does have it’s
weaknesses, it also has redeeming features – in particular it’s guns – even
Flamu saying it had “strong” guns and “very strong” AP performance. Hell,
when even Jingles can regularly score citadels with these guns…. And for
my part, I’ve never found what are basically the same guns on the Pensacola
to be lacking in any respect.
Appreciate the update on this ship Chase. It is good to hear that the devs
admitted there was an issue with armor protection. Now, I really look
forward to getting this one in my port.
+ichasegaming i love ur vuds man keep up the good work bro :)
I’ll stick to my Atlanta, I don’t like this ship
Hey iChase are you going to do a summary update video about the buffs on
the US Battleships? Is the Montana worth grinding for now?
Greetings to you too India.
Cant wait for this ship :D. considering I loved the Pepsi I think the
advantages that the INDI brings will just up my Pepsi play style
Nice video, Chase. You got a new sub.
Also, considering that the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Jutland is
coming this Tuesday-Wednesday, do you think WarGaming will release any new
content for that day?
Should I buy a trpiz?
“But the Indianapolis even right now still feels strangely vulnerable to
rapid fire 152mm guns…”
That goes beyond game mechanics. Factually the majority of cruiser building
navies gave up building 203mm / 8 inch cruisers in the 1920s and went on to
building 152mm gun cruisers by the 1930s.
They are more economical to built and more economical to man and in both
peace and war time proven that return to investment isn’t that different
from their more expensive 8 inch counterpart.
Plus in the 30s the Royal Navy realized that a large 152mm cruiser has more
damage output at brawling ranges than a similar sized cruiser with 8 inch
guns and that’s why they build the large Town class cruisers.
RN had 8 inch heavy cruisers on paper Pre WW2 but didn’t have the money to
build a fleet of them (at least 15,000 tons each).
Germany was the last Euro nation to put 8 inch cruisers to water but even
they lost interest to finish the class.
The last 2 members of the Hippers were never completed (Seydlitz was 95%
finished when work stopped on her) .
Their PLAN-Z had no Hipper successor.
Japan like the US seriously kept its interest in building future 8 inch
cruisers but in Japan’s case found out the hard way that they couldn’t
built Heavy Cruisers and Yamatos at the same time.
Their last attempt in heavy cruiser construction was only possible when
further construction on the remaining Yamato sisters stopped but during
wartime was not possible to complete the Ibuki. Ibuki’s sister was never
laid down.
Only America was financially capable and INSANE enough to keep pressing on
with the Baltimore 203mm cruisers while at the same time maintaining a
separate light (152mm) cruiser line that’s over Treaty Limits (Clevelands
and Brooklyns).
America even build a separate Battlecruiser line which was the Alaska
class.
(Had WW2 not broken out in ’39 there would have been a Battlecruiser Naval
Race which included the Netherlands)
America was that BADASS with cruiser production.
Nice to see you back in a chirpy mood Chase hope all stays this way as
usual thoroughly enjoy your channel
looks like i go and get a new prem AGAIN =)
13 citadel hits?! Good grief!!!!!
I was gonna get one anyway, cuz I figured WG would fix it eventually after
all the complaints rolled in.
When will we be able to purchase this ship Chase?
chase when i see the f2h in the intro i cry everytime
wow.. the armour in the first 5 minutes is beast.. it looks like a huge
improvement
What about the center area which is flat. Is that still easy to pen and do
boat loads of damage?
Thanks for the update iChase, glad you’re feeling better after the events
from the other day :). Will definitely consider picking this one up,
especially for the tears of lower tier DD’s raging that there was “no way
you could spot me” with radar *trolololol*.
American Molotov?
Good video!
So it isn’t a glass cannon?
Nice, keep them coming.
Just in time for ranked.
Chase, what is your opinion on the cleveland? I personally think it is
quite OP, but what do you think?
so they community come out and say the cambeltown is no good and nothing
happens but when the community cry about the Indianapolis everything is
buffed???
is this a contest of who is first?
i was here at 32
Wow I’m early at 93 views.
#InB4ItsMovedToTier8.
