Elbing is an interesting little ship. It is a small light cruiser without a citadel, and has better AA compared to other Destroyers, minus the Pan-European ones. In the hands of a good player, this ship is a beast. EDIT: The big main issue with this ship, and something that I forgot to add with my original comment is that this ship doesn't fit in either role. It is too big and clumsy to be an effective destroyer. I guess you could say that it is a special type of light cruiser, but it doesn't fit into that category either.

Friesland gameplay is closer to the main german DD line. The elbing line would be closer to an AP harugumo line imo Also calling the elbing better than the friesland is rather questionable

So the "reconnaissance cruiser" doesn't get hydro? Makes sense.

Elbing is a pretty good ship. The reason why some players hate it is because they try to play it like a typical DD. It's a support DD and a cruiser killer. I consistently have 150k+ damage games in it. A lot of other streamers love the ship as well. Don't think it's a poor ship at all. You need to adapt to the ship you're playing.

Great vid Flamu, well played! Now I know not to bother with this line, doesn't look worth it.

The feeling of despair you get when seeing your teammate dd get obliteraded by other dds while u cant do anything about it is real. As Flamu says, at least in a kava, haru or french u can support your dds. I feel bad for my team taking a DD place knowing how important the dd's role is in winnig matches

when you realise kleber is faster than those torps

Hydro + heal/reload booster = an interesting ship

As you all know: "AA does nothing"!

Pros: Good AP for citadeling lightly armored cruisers. Great health pool by DD standards. Acts like a cruiser but can't be citadeled. Cons: Slow, poor concealment, poor gun dpm (Daring has WAY better AP dpm for regular pens and against DDs), no hydro, no speed boost, cosmetic DFAA, huge and easy to hit, bad torps, no heal. And I imagine the same poor German smokes? I'd ask why Wargaming made such a situational good, but otherwise shit ship ... and then I saw it was German and that told me all I needed to know. This hurts because I had been for years looking forward to a 150mm variant of the Z-52 and instead got this. Not that Z-52 is that great a ship these days either since it's AP gimmick works SO much better on the Daring. And Daring has heals, so on long fights, it's health difference is not that big. Basically, just play Daring.

So I should have picked the other DD line?😂😂 Fuck me.....

So it's a modern day destroyer

Can’t agree more! See Elbing players not doing dd things which can be the deciding factor with few dds in MM

Range skill is tempting because damage, but mostly the worst choice for anything that is easily hit, not maneuverable, and not fast enough to dodge. You only invite everything in that increased range to spot you and shoot you. Concealment is a far better option. Especially since you complained about not being able to push in and spot. RPF is another good option because you want to know where those other DDs are. The torpedoes are slow, but they are stealthy. They are mostly good for zone denial. You can and will regularly catch people doing dumb things, which is what random is full of. Agree it's not the best DD for a lot of task, but the ship is fun to play and can do nasty things to ships that normal DDs can't because of its chunk damage. NA servers have a ton of DDs playing every match so when you are 1 of 5 DDs your extra flavor brings a lot to the table.

Ironically the best ship to accompany the Elbing is a CV, beause all it needs to do is to get in range, smoke up and let the CV do all the spotting so it can melt whatever ship is angled well enough for the autobounce check.

it can land a citadel hit on a salem broadside from 16km range. Believe that.

This ship is a good example of why people should stop losing their shit at pre-release stat pages.

Play it like a light cruiser and dont focus the dds. I find thats the best way to play, thats my play-style so mileage may vary.

I think the Elbing is a great ship. But you will get punished if you play bad or if you play it like a dd.

But this Marceau player doesn't seem to know the Elbing is just as bad at it as the Marceau, which is a bit understandable as the Elbing is still rather new.

Cause killing DDs win game in his mind

On a DD if you face this Elbing and is nose on to you, you can't really damage it. They are good at tanking against other DDs really.

@@danh7411 Yes, but you waste time and get spotted at the same time. Is like shooting at a rock :)

Its actually a pretty good ship and pretty easy to deal with dds with. Just need to use the ship how its meant to as a support ship for a Dd. Or as a flank ship.

That marceau is rlly annoying

The Marcau is a good example of how dumb this playerbase is.
