Plymouth is a zone control ship, and is designed to win local engagements over traditional farming. You have to have great situational awareness and you have to make strong and impactful decisions. You have smoke, hydro, and radar. The world is your oyster in Plymouth, you just need to know how to get the pearl. Plymouth, my beloved.

I got her and broke 200k in the 3rd game, which beats my Mino dmg record by 30k, though i know it's not supposed to be dmg focused. It's amazing for crushing DDs and playing around key areas. And with the extreme popularity of DDs these days its great. Overall a great ship for me, but what it really struggles with is CVs. They completely kill your amazing concealment advantage and can keep you off from getting into key positions.

"Let's imagine..." as WG would say.

As Count Dooku said in RoTS: "I've been looking forward to this".

I do enjoy Plymouth, but that’s because I enjoy the UK CL’s, so the squishy hull, AP-only combo is very familiar to me. Plymouth is best described as an Angry-Edinburgh. The smoke/hydro/radar gives her lots of utility, especially in things like Clan Battles. I like she is very different to Mino but I do understand if she seems too expensive (ie costing steel) for most players as it’s a ship made for cruiser players. However, that rarity does help; you can catch out DDs, Cruisers and even subs who don’t expect the radar because you’ve smoked up.

i tend to think that if the edinburgh and the belfast had a love child ......

15:00 notice that against the Schlieffen every second salvo broke a secondary gun. British AP is devastating against secondaries, not that it helps against being devstruck by the main battery but it is annoying as hell to be on the receiving end :)

I think the shells hitting islands thingy mainly happens when the ship is moving. Once the ship becomes stationary the auto lead system resets and allows you to hit what you are aiming at

this game doesn`t deserve the "historical" tag any more .

This is the most definitive review I've seen. I was on the fence between Ragnar and Plymouth for a long time. Ragnar obviously is strong and popular, but I was holding out for some detailed reviews on Plymouth. None were forthcoming so I ended up getting the Ragnar. Now that I almost have enough steel for the next ship.... I'm starting to look again. I'm glad this review came out when it did.

man , just use radio location on these ships which you have to go close to enemy, no more suprises with rpf

One time I ended up on Ocean map in radar Minotaur. It was scary, but I survived, killed some DDs and ended up with win. Meanwhile in smoke Mino I was always dying by simply outrunning my smoke 😂

I think that WoWs should have the same equipment option as WoT - to be able to switch out radar for smoke before the battle timer starts

Ohh and that game has 8 DD on both the teams.

PQ great content as always. I just saw something called the Weisbaden Tier VIII… never seen it before and I was wondering for a ship request Thanks

Not the first steel boat I would recommend, but if you already have the really strong ones, the Plymouth can be a fun boat. Sometimes a bit of feast-or-famine boat, it is still fun and can be very impactful if played smartly. I do enjoy it just for the different play style.

I'm looking forward to your review on the USS Vallejo. I like the USN ships, but the Vallejo seems to have been overshadowed by the Pan American cruiser line. Hopefully your review will reveal some hidden gems in the ship.

Any way you can do the new Jupiter'42? Thanks.

Hello Mr.Potato, Would you consider doing a video on ships for operations?

I would enjoy seeing how you use the München (Munich)

does anyone know when the Prins van Oranje will be released?

If you play for damage numbers (which potato seems to very heavily assume), then of course this boat isnt gonna win any awards. But this boat is not about achieving a high damage score, its about being a heavy support ship that can lock down certain areas for DDs. With smoke ready for when the radar falls off (or in combination), any DD has to just cede that radar bubble around any strategic point, lest he wants to be deleted (which a Plymouth often does to a DD, when allowed). You play this essentially for the win, not damage numbers.

@potatoquality the heal isnt super, but it does heal a much larger portion of citadel damage!

Counter DDs, use the utility. Damage cones hard unless people derp hard, then the DPM cuts in fast.

Gotta love those ,helper salvos,...

Useful boat in Ranked because of utility

"Im not gonna talk about subs..." *proceeds to talk about subs* Never change PQ. Never change

The problem is that the experience is not fundamentally diff from the Edinburgh. Its the same smoke up and fore AP. And if you can hold your own in an Edin in a T10 game then there's very little justification to pay steel for a radar and 4 extra guns, & you still have to give up the super heal.

I love Plymouth ❤ when I play Elbing

Can we get some reviews or help on what level 9-10 premium that can be just paid for to get us going as a new player. that may have leveled bad trees in the Tech lines.

@Stephen__White

If you are new you don't want to be at T9/10 in the first place, you'd be far better off in a T6/7 premium. New players should be more focused on learning the game, not rushing to top tier where the game is far less forgiving of mistakes. Also there really isn't a "bad" line in any of the tech tress, even the Japanese Light Cruisers aren't terrible ships, they are just bad light cruisers. So if your thinking is you are struggling because of the nation you've started out with, that's even more of an indicator you just aren't experienced with the game, and there is no shame in that. Everyone was bad at the game at one point. Rushing to top tier won't fix that though.

Try not to focus much on what people say about your ships and put your effort into learning how those ships play. Also the silver income between a T7 premium and T9 premium is so small you won't really notice it, so again I'd say just stick around there. T6/7/8 ships can also do Operations for easy silver, it's not as much as you would get from randoms but its more consistent.

Yes. Subs ruins the game completely. Nothing like your full attention trying to avoid homing torps and getting blapped by enemy surface ships. They are wows cancer. So i say fck subs and especially fck sub drivers.

It's crazy talk to think that 30 or 40 6-inch holes from AP shells punched clean through both sides of a submarine would cause any significant damage or flooding. (/sarcasm).

*Gets hit by 30 shells* Sub: Damn these mosquitoes are a little annoying.

any ship that depends on not being seen to be effective is completely ruined by sub and cv....add radar and your smoke isn't even useful....

I wouldn't say Brisbanes Radar is better than Plymouths, the long time on the Plymouth radar is very useful.

I love Plymouth

I dont really have a problem with subs, they can be annoying for sure... but i think CVs are way worse. The sub needs to get into battle and can be caught of guard, you have the abillity to do something against them, while the CV just sits back and focuses you the whole round and you cant do a thing. But thats just my perception.

Frankly it baffles me that Plymouth doesn't get a superheal, it's basically a giant fatter Edinburgh. It would at least make up a bit more for its shortcomings with a bit more player comfort.

Not my beer

Thanks for talking about subs. We need to go on an organized strike until they fix it!

Yeah its too expensive for how fragile it is. The amount of times i've been nuked in smoke from across the map in Plymouth is truly fustraiting. Even if you ignore the turret angles and DPM just citidel city all the time. The consumables are great so if you're playing something competative you can use it to contest caps or help your team. I used to absolutely love this ship but its just been crept, other lines have come in, others have been buffed and Plymouth is stuck in the past. I'd say leave unless you're using it for clan battles/division play.

I regret geting this ship. in fact, I only played it for snowflake eliminations now. Its awful for me.
