well, it is situational at best that all the enemy BBs are all grouped in one spot of the map and are pushing when they have zero visibility ahead. Usually, when they know there is a Benham ahead, they will quickly do a U turn.

@@missingnola3823 "These torpedoes used an otherwise normal wet-heater engine burning a fuel such as methanol or ethanol. Since air is only 21% oxygen (and 78% nitrogen), pure oxygen provides five times as much oxidizer in the same tank volume, thereby increasing torpedo range. In addition, the absence of the inert nitrogen resulted in the emission of significantly less exhaust gas, comprising only carbon dioxide, which is significantly soluble in water, and water vapor, thus greatly reducing tell-tale bubble trails." Sadly in game, torpedo concealment is tied to the torpedo caliber.

Same thing I was thinking. It was clear that was their only push and the Buffalo was struggling. He probably could have pushed north knowing that Benham's kite for torpedos. So the Benham has the choice of doing that, slowing down and getting spotted far more easily or run. Enemy team chose neither push with cruiser or spot with CV and Flamu naturally takes full advantage. Great record

Not really unless you mean enemy team. They had CV to spot Benham, didn't. They had gun boat DD to push and spot, didn't. They had radar cruiser to push and spot, didn't. They had other light ships to support all those BBs, didn't. They had all the BBs pushing on a flank and none went into the protection of the cap to go east. In other words the Benham is great in this position if you allow it to be. It is of course a fatal mistake against a player like Flamu. I know he landed a lot of torps hits but he fired a fuck ton of them so even an average player could have countered an enemy so obliging. Often ships are only OP if they are allowed to be.

@brdyyt6702

Brain dead team players. I agree.

Thank you for uploading this on KZread, entertaining and educating.

Shit this guy is good, love the way he dissects the tactics and explains everything in detail, well done keep em coming....

I would like to see you do a video on the special commanders such as Yamamoto, Halsey, etc. I would like to see the top three ships you would play them in and what skill sets you would use per ship.

1. That Fletcher player was (edited) making a poor choice with his target selection in the first engagement. He should have been shooting you, not your BB and he sure a shit should not have smoked there. 2. Their CV was (edited) making a poor choice to allow you to keep twirling around on that flank, torping their BBs like they were all lined up in a water barrel, unspotted and unmolested. I love recking Benham with my Fletcher. Hell, I’ve enjoyed shutting down and destroying an entire 3 x Benham division with Fletcher. I have both and Fletcher is FAR more useful to me and my teams all around.

This is one of the best ships in the game. It is very situational, though. If you picked wrong flank or your team is not doing a lemming train on one side, games could be boring. However, it is very satisfying when 2 opposing flanks are hiding behind islands and your benham is spamming torps at camping ships. Usually it sends 8 torps about every 30 seconds. This is truly a ship that can hold a flank against whole team

Awesome game Flamu, I love the Benham for just that reason....Torp launcher, but it's very vulnerable to other DD's and radar since you will be the priority target any time you are spotted.

The NEW Kitakami😋😋 very good played Flamu Gz.

I love my Benham, problem is keeping friendly ships out of your way, or CVs from focusing on you, so such games are kinda rare.

A fucking miracle. My man is alive. I wish only better things for you. You can literally change the game in a better way.

Bentham.. almost forgot it exist, was very popular at launch, then players quickly realized that not all of them are flamu caliber and gets deleted early..lol. Fragile ship, key words in this video, "in the right hands" "played correctly " can be a real beast. I don't agree that it is OP because of this 300k + dmg game though, many games have similar or higher results with all kinds of ships ... all them stars aligned every once in a while...

Thanks Flamu for the infos. Amazing game..

Some comments from based on service on a ship with torpedoes. (Anti-submarine torpedoes, it was the 1970's.) 1. There is an interesting parallel with current carriers (WoWS arcade carriers, not real ones). There is no way the actual Benham could have carried 188 torpedoes. So just as WoWS carriers carry a fully functional (and fast) aircraft factory someplace in their cyber-hull, the WoWS Benham carries a torpedo factory in its much smaller cyber-hull. 2. Reload. Just no. Some of the newer Japanese destroyers were actually equipped for a fast reload for at least one set. But haul that many torpedoes on deck and load them with cranes. . . Kind of stupid to go on, but the high-pressure air compressors could not have kept up either. But the WoWS Benham does not get as much of an advantage with reload - just a proportional one because of the number of tubes.

Another addition to the "OP ships WeeGee added anyway" playlist.

Me: "Nice time for Benham!" *launches game, entering match* *fucking dies, like always*

I feel like I need a shower just watching that. Nice game sir.

I appreciate the upload. I enjoy your content but I cant watch anyone for 4 hours on stream. I dont have time and there is also alot of time waiting for games, picking ships etc. You are awesome tho I hope you keep uploading highlights and commentaries.

The serious lack of proper game design with counter play and consequences is really what drove me away, still sad many cool ships I would love to command.

Scamu is clearly a very talented guy, to say the least. It is clear that he can kick some major ass. It is also clear, at least to me, if not others, that it pays to be very selective when posting these world records and boasting about them. One can only wonder how overwhelming his achievements would have been if the game had 3 CVs per side and he was dipping and dodging rocket planes 85% of the time as most of us DDs do. To the best of my memory, Scamu barely had any worries about planes throughout his WORLD RECORD SETTING video. That is a HUGE, HUGE advantage! I would be the first one to compliment him on his play-style, but maybe he should pull in his turtle head a bit and aim for some humility in the future!

Flamu is either an amazing player, the luckiest person alive to be matched against incompetent teams ...or a mix of both (DD in a CV match, never spotted/hunted by aircraft).

15mins 41secs, so that works out to 1 torp fired every 5 seconds (yeah I know 8 torps at a time), and 1 torp hit every 38 seconds. Think I'll go fit the Rudder shift module to all my BB's

9:23 you mean ‘How do you frustrate and farm those big booties’
