So what, does that mean that, for instance, on a ship with a 4 gun turret, shell grouping will keep two shells close, and the other two close, but both pairs of shells can still spread apart a lot? As opposed to dispersion, where the overall spread of shots is lessened?

@SpartanElite43

Жыл бұрын

Ok so imagine an Oval around an Enemy ship you are targeting, When you see the word dispersion in a buff it means the entire oval that is around that ship tightens up a bit meaning you are more likely to hit the target you are firing at. Grouping BUff Means that the overall size of that Oval stays the same but the Shells are more likely to stay closer together. Meaning you aren't necessarily more likely to hit but if you do hit you are more likely to score multiple hits. Salvo Firing (all guns at once) Means that the rng is the same across all guns that were fired Ripple Firing (Each Turret Separately) means that each of those shots can have a different RNG roll sometimes this can be good and sometimes it can be not so good.

@@SpartanElite43 an excellent description describing the difference between precision and accuracy, thanks man

The Friedrich der Große in the game is a H-39 class, an improvement of the Bismarck-class battleships both in terms of horizontal armor, propulsion systems, main armament, and steering systems. The legendary tier ship, Großer Kurfürst is actually H-44, the final variant of the H-class battleships and had if Germany acquired enough resources, it would be THE largest battleship in history at just at 345 m (1,131 ft 11 in) on a displacement of 131,000 t (129,000 long tons), displacing Yamato. However, the names Großdeutschland and Friedrich der Große we’re just speculation as Adolf Hitler chose names that are not connected to the Third Reich or to Germany itself as is stated that if those names were put on those ships and if one or both of them sank during battle, it could mean a negative psychological and propaganda effect on the German people. Hitler decided to use names such as Ulrich von Hutten (a German knight, scholar, poet and satirist, who later became a follower of Martin Luther and a Protestant reformer.) and Götz von Berlichingen (a German (Franconian) Imperial Knight (Reichsritter), mercenary, and poet). The only real evidence of a ship named Friedrich der Große can be found in one of five Kaiser-class battleships of World War I. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser-class_battleship en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-class_battleship_proposals

Small correction: FDG does belong to the H39 class, but GK belongs to the H41 class. Then Preussen belongs to the H42 class (turrets 4x2 457mm) and Hannover to the H43 class (4x2 493mm). In the game the H44 class is the only one missing, which has 4x2 508mm turrets and would be a direct rival to the IJN Satsuma.

Same goes for GK aswell who is also place somewhere between the H-41 and the H-42, though i would place GK at the H-41 series eventhough there are some difference's that WG make onto her model, she is still place herself as an H-41 battleship because of her bridge and tower design.

Spartan: We're going to introduce ourselves to this Izumo. FDG: Guten Tag. (slaps Izumo) Frederick der Grosse is named for the German King Frederick the Great. If you can't say the German, the English translation works just as well imo. 22:42 You're about to meet 3 of the Tier 8 BBs practically back-to-back. Oddly no Russian though...

I have Cilliax hibrid build with Hipper and Cunningham, and I enjoy the Bismarck with it, hope I enjoy the Fdg too, good video

FDG has the longest main gun range in the game, with 17.9 km when fully upgraded, the second place goes to both Yamato and Iowa with 17.7 km (Iowa when fully upgraded), also I think this will be my first t8 ship

Hey Spartan, great video 👍 I'm torn between the 420mm and 406mm guns. Definitely feel like I'm leaning on the 406mm more. Hope you can do some sort of comparison video, I've still never settled the debate on my GK either.

Haven’t tried the battleships yet…but I really enjoy the Russian crusier Dem. Donski. It’s a tank Chapayev with bigger guns, but a tad slower reload. I’ve had some really great games in it. I love dealing DD’s pain with the 11.7 radar. I’ve blown thru the tier upgrades and have 16k over use in it. I played against you yesterday in the Stalingrad while you were using this German BB. Out of the new BB’s I really want to try this one and when I get the campaign done I can’t wait for the Republique. I’ve seen some great teammates use her.

I just love this ship and the german line. They are born to brawl. I have a hybrid build on my fdg for a test, perhaps a full secundery build will be good and fun. But the long range is also nice to have, I tryed a brawl build with ciliax but needed the range to enemy far out. A good info video spartan, I will try your build to test it. Also with alidad skill it must be better

With Franz Von Hipper, i get 21km range. It's pretty good. But i noticed that the maps when you use tier 8 are more bigger then usual

You could also use Otto Ciliax as inspiration for bigger AP damage

Only have Maine so far but it's Stock, my favourite since update is Jean Bart as i can make money and Marskmanship Perk has changed the Ship for me. Kitted up the Black so either Gnisenau or Z-46 next

Mainly a german bb guy. But switched it up and went for the Soyuz first. Love it so far. Glad i went for it first. Just gonna grind the groser

Жыл бұрын

Personally I still prefer the consistency of Maine and Republique over the FDG but it is definitely a much closer 3rd place.

I would be interested in a t8 BB tier list Spartan. Looking forward to it.

The only reason I like emergency specialist is cause of situations like you had at the end there it would’ve saved you. It sucks that it cuts down 70% duration but going from 8 secs to 3secs isn’t that big of a deal if it means it recharges 25 seconds faster and can be used again

I haven't check the base stats. But if a ship claims "higher then average AP damage" I'd expect it to still be at the high end regardless of commander builds.

Insert: German March from Wolfenstein New Colossus.

I think all the Tier 8 BBs are good. Each one have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Izumo is a proposed Yamato class if you didn't know spartan it has the strengths and weaknesses of yammy

Hell yes I was hoping you would post this ship!!! Also, maybe one little carrier game at some point in the future I bet you’re still better than 99% of current carrier players:)
