Loading...Meet the Yorck, the German tier 7 cruiser, which is a single ship with two different roles and playstyles that you must mesh together. Learn what these roles are and how to get the most out of this rather unique cruiser with a rather unique playstyle. Enjoy!
Whoah the Yorck got buffed? When i tried her on the 0.5.6 test server she
only had 700m/s AP velocity, now 900? lol i think i just sell the Pensacola
then and grind this :D
In other words,
When the enemy’s far out you use your HE catapults to annoy them and lure
their vengeful minds in; and when they get close enough you bring our your
AP railguns and rattle their citadels :)
Not a fan of this ship, but I played some really great games in it.
I hate the Yorck. Playing it is so hard. Yet playing against it is hard as
well.
So its a German Pensacola/New Orleans/Indianapolis but with torps xD
I think Chase just wants to say: captains pls keep your Yorck away from
rank battles LOL
so is Hydro like a towed aray? that trails the ship? like subs, or someting
difrent? all so in in game how much more time does it give you to learn
there are torps in the water? for the slow Battle ships, it could be a real
boon. Does it all so let you pin point DD’s in smokke so you kill them? i
remmber a few patchs ago the DD’s that had great consealment and good
ranged torps was so unliked by players. but its just like any game, new
things some along and nurff some other gear. I think radar for eg needs to
be 40 seconds or at least 3 reload for big gurns. it does not help help
when a shoot a this little torp sparying DD that you cant see, yet you only
get 1 or 2 shots at best. eh, are there any ships that have hydro and radar
on them together? I think they would give up some tonage to make this
happen but it would be valuable to a fleet.
Great game and good info. Keep them coming.
Can anyone tell what is the Mod Pack that iChase recommended in a video a
few months ago?
I find the long distance AP is good at long range vs light cruisers. once
you get into plunging fire you can get some good citadels
I’m still boycotting German CA line while my Tirpitz Commander keeps
racking xp for the future lines… I’d like to know who to bribe at WG for
a Roon or Hindenburg tho, it would probably cost less than the amount of
doubloons needed… lol
How about showcasing some middle/bottom tier battles? Of course this ship
would look decent because you’re surrounded by even weaker ships.
“This battle wasn’t too bad.” Gets 4 kills like its no problem. Jeez dude,
way too modest
So for the captain skills, would you recommend keeping them for the tier
8-10?
huh, I tend to use my yorck in an opposite fashion that works for me chase.
I fire AP at range, the arks don’t and flight time dont really mess with
me, and use HE up close to deal with DD’s and sometimes heavy belt armor
depending on what I am shooting at.
I didn’t know people didn’t like the yorck I think she’s great I have lot
of fun with her
I really think AP is bugged on the Yourk. Should be almost exactly same
arc.
I love my Yorck, really strong AA cruiser with AFT and the modul. Very
maneuverable, good HE, and awesome AP in close combat
Do a PTS talk on 0.5.7
I would like to see a visual upgrade when you use module upgrades it would
offer more immersion and make it worth buying modules
Good video Chase. I dont plan on playing the yorik any time soon, but this
was very informative about her capabilities. Will be tucking all this info
away for when I do fight her. Keep up the excellent vids! ^.^
Also, we need more reviews for not-so-good ships.
Who’s gonna stick up for the underdog?
The Yorck is really weird for me. Somehow, it’s the tier 7 CA that I have
highest win rate and average XP in, even though it feels like the worst of
the 3 non-premiums. I still think of it as a bad ship, though.
Great review, even though I personally use AP even at longer ranges. That’s
probably just me going noob mode
Is this a paper ship?
skip to 8:49 for start of battle
So many haters for this ship, I Love it. Very strong brawler. Though i take
Manual AA fire control and don’t even bother with firing HE at range. Focus
on killing DD’s and Brawling with Cruisers. 33′ angle and she can bring all
her guns to bear :)
16:37 Do ANOTHER Atlanta review! She almost never loses turrets anymore!
And if you have AFT, she can deal with most situations when played
properly! Add in Concealment Expertise, and Atlanta can become very strong!
That said, I DO REALLY wish they would buff her stock range to at least
12.5km but preferably 13km! And if they gave her a smoke, like Kutuzov, she
could become FULLY competitive!
16:03 XP Atlanta for MVP! Now I want to play some games in my Atlanta
today, maybe I will get lucky enough to be able to single out some
Indianapolis captains, and show them the power of the one TRUE American
tier 7 cruiser!
I am actually not joking either, if you ever are able to get your Atlanta
to have broadside shots on any cruiser at 10 km or closer, USE AP! You will
likely MASSACRE them!
I had a Konigsberg and Nurnberg decide to attack me at the same time, both
broadside to me, about 20 seconds later, they were both on the ocean floor,
the Konigsberg having around 14k when he met me, and the Nurnberg was on
FULL HP, and they became VERY salty, when I punched like 10 to 15 holes in
each of their citadels!
Aaand, then they went on this LOOOOONG rant about how the Atlanta is
“Pay-2-Win BS”, the the Nurnberg and Konigsberg are TERRIBLE in every way,
and that I was a massive noob who had cheated, because there was “NO WAY
that an Atlanta could EVER do that much damage in such a short time!”
Which of course provided COUNTLESS Lolz and Trollz for everybody on both
teams to enjoy! Whilst I did my normal sort of egging on, where I just
reply to them with “Lol, LMAO,” etc, and say things such as “Aim bot Hax0rz
iz meh! But WASD Hax0rz won this bottle for meh!”
What do you use to edit your videos?
when are you doing the new update vid
omg i finally got out of the scrub league rank 22-16. started at 18 for
some reason, first season back in a long time. such noobs in t5-6. let’s
see how it goes in t6-7
That High shell arc means those things PLUNGE and the plunge hard. Any BB
with significant open deck area gets ripped by this things AP.
Oh god, now we have seemingly MASSIVE module changes to watch out for, OH
JOY!
Unless they essentially keep the current modules but add more options or
something, all while giving everyone credits returned for every module
bought, and a clean slate to figure out the “new module” system with, which
they PROBABLY will, if it is even half as massive as the skill changes.
But I am the kind-of person who will watch my favorite WOWS YouTube
channels to figure out what combination of modules in the up-coming patch
are best for what ships with what kind of preference and why, so hopefully
my 8 days of premium will be up by then!
2:19 Waaaait….. You said the Yorck hasn’t gotten any love, but last I
checked, those 210mm guns had a rather large difference in velocity between
AP an HE, with HE being much faster, IIRC.
Then, I RECALL the guns doing 2300 HE with 4600 AP damage, not 2500 by 5500.
So at least from what I remember, the Yorck has seen A LOT of love! I mean,
I am not going to say she’s perfect, I haven’t played her, but it would
seem with those stats, that she is a capable and at least somewhat
competitive at tier 7.
Lol I finally got rid of her. Also made a video on her a couple days ago.
Great video!
why is it that your aim stays locked on The targets trajectory?
Nice videos chase!Keep up the good work!
Another good review from iChase.
I don’t like the Yorck, it’s the weakest tier 7 regular cruiser. You can do
well as top tier, but as soon as you get in tier 8-9 games you are pretty
much forced to play long-range support only and depend a lot on your team.
Any competent CV player can wreck you even if you have defensive AA mounted
and even some DDs can pen your citadel quite easily.
Arguably you can find tons of reviews and guides for good ships. The bad or
awkward ones…. not so much. In that perspective, no wonder people want
those.
Haven’t finished the video yet but if you take a stopwatch to both the AP
and HE shells, they have almost the same travel time now. The AP is
actually a tad faster now. The tooltips seem to be inaccurate now.
always use the AA boost instead of the hydro search
I played 4 games in my Yorck. 1 win, 0 survived, 0 ships sunk, 0 planes
shot down, 12 353 damage done, 1 613 XP. That’s when I used my free XP and
moved on to the Hipper.
Regarding modules, I cannot wait to see how WG contrive to force us to pay
money to reconfigure our ship setups…?

I do not mind odd ship reviews, reason is i do not play, i am a watcher,
and thats how i learn. so points of view and thoughts on ships i have no
clue about is great. it lets me get a better idea of what is a great threat
vs a pest. would like to here more about sonar or what ever it is called
for spotting torps. keep up the good work.
That spam HE at range use AP up close strategy is how I play Russian
cruisers and it works out very well.
I just got this earyler today, still learning it. The info about the shell
arcs for HE and AP after a bit of experimenting looks like it will help
alot. Was wondering why i was not hitting anything with AP. Was thinking
about skipping it, but i think i will play it. ^^
It hurts my soul
I enjoy the york very much but coming from the battleship and ijn cruiser
line, i tended to get very close to get ap citadel damage to compensate the
lack of shell velocity , until i discovered the speed difference in shells,
I did the same mistake with cleveland, tried to use ap at first until i
discovered he was better at distance for this particular ship
The yorck uses left over ww1 210mm guns from the blucher armored cruiser.
Her HE ammunition is ww2 era while her AP is ww1 era ammunition. Resulting
in the flight time differences due to the AP rounds being shorter and
lighter.
Huh. Those guns are fantastic on paper, but apparently not so good in
actuality. Thanks for the info, Chase. :)
Worst t7 cruzer in game and one of the worst in the game.
I think I’ve killed 4-5 ships with my yorck torps that were full health and
3 of them were bbs and i’ve lost count of how many torps kills i’ve had
with the yorck
York, my SS class ship :X
But how to enjoy Nurnberg tho
And again thank you for a wonderfull vidio, on this lovely Morning!
