It’s all about money! They game has you buy crates with all the crappy ships in them first so that you will keep buying more crates to get the better ships! I don’t waste money on those stupid crates anyway! I just feel like you have to play and earn to truly appreciate and enjoy the ships you have. Really that’s kind of the whole point of the game anyway, and buying crates is really cheating if you think about it!

A good overview of premium ships with weaknesses. Some of those can be played quite successfully, so I wouldn't call them "useless", but you correctly pointed out the weaknesses and you correctly said that there are more powerful, similarly priced alternatives. Nicely done. :)

I hear nothing but negative comments from different CC about Huanghe, but I have to disagree. It sets fires like almost every volley and has extremely good AA. Despite having one turret less it outperforms both Perth and Leander in my experience. The only other ship on the list I have is Blys, and I reluctantly have to agree. It used to be one of my favourites, she now collects dust in the dry dock. Such a shame.

Again, these features coupled with travelling smoke allow you to get away with things most other ships would never do.

I got the Huanghe from a container, and it is my favorite premium to play, simply because it needs to be played smart to have any effect. It also comes with that funny walking smokescreen, which is a very nice gimmick against torpedo waves and blindfiring. Overall it lacks firepower though, however with that smoke you can bring yourself in torpedo range. Which is dangerous of course, for you have the lowest health pool of all T6 cruisers. I'd say it's fun because it's challenging :) I wouldn't pay money for it though

I've had great games with HMS Vanguard. Her manouverability is excellent (for a BB) and I have wriggled my way out of so much trouble in that ship whilst being able to cause lots of trouble to cruisers. Dodging shells and even torps is something she can do well. The times when I get killed in HMS Vanguard is when I am focused down by multiple ships using endless HE spam. It is rare that I just get blatted, it's nearly always when outnumbered when I suffer the most. ;-) Going toe to toe with other BB's isn't the best idea unless you have the positional advantage , so concentrating on cruisers is best. Baiting other ships to fire a full broadside from range at you is when you dodge and return fire. That's one way (and a good one) you can compensate for the poor firing angles of the turrets. That's how I use her. I've had lots of fun doing it. ;-)

Damn, can't believe you don't like Vanguard, it's one of my favourite premiums. I have a 70% WRT in it. It's guns reload fast, turrets turn fast, guns are accurate, decent AA, fast rudder shift, plus its just so historical, and sooo sexy.

The only premium here I bought was the Blyskawica - at the time, it was one of the fastest DDs and have superior fire power to other T7 DDs but as mentioned in the video, the real strength of Blyskawica was invisible firing. Any premium (or regular) ship can be power crept but the fact that WG changed the rules of the game so that the ship you purchased is, in effect, ruined is a slap in the face. I knew what I was buying when I bought the Blyskawica but what I didn't know is that WG would change the game to remove the Blyskawica's primary strength - invisible firing. It's a disgrace that WG didn't allow for Blyskawica owners to trade their ship for their money back (or at least trade for doubloons) and would just screw its customers this way.

Excellent! With the Santa containers WG have presented me with all the crap premiums at tiers 5, 6 and 7. Is there any way of getting refunds on the ships you haven’t touched? Or an exchange for better ships, maybe? Or should I keep them as a shield against getting them again in future drops? Thanks for the help

Love your content FLamu, I agree with your picks I think I got most the ones on your list free, sold the huanghe, it was weak at best, the Blyskawica, is weak, but I enjoy playing it occasionally, the Prince E.Friedrich, I feel its speed helps to make it work, the others I appreciate your avoid info, good tips from someone who has them all I guess.

Tbh i also like the premium ships under t5, especially the king albert. Also the viribus unitis may have low health, but it has the highest ap dmg of its tier. It's really nice to burst cruisers and bbs with it.

I have a yahagi and for anyone who does have a yahagi, I advise you to keep your distance. 15km range artillery. Almost 40 knots with speed boost, and 12km torpedoes with an 8 torp salvo is impressive at tier 5, so keep far away to stay alive and keep doing damage. You cannot rely on your guns to devastate things at close range like furutaka. Not a great ship but it can work.

I somehow like the Vanguard and she works for me. I love the actuate guns, as long as you switch between AP and HE is fine

Hey, Gorizia serves a really important role of creating more ways to instablap destroyers and US/French cruisers while making it easier for BBabys to park behind hard cover near the map edge with no situational awareness and no repurcussions. Sort of like all the rocket planes.

I have to say I have had good luck with Azuma. Good fire starter and spotter helps keep you out of reach of BB’s. The AP in other cruisers is great...however, as you said, if you annoy a BB ( especially RU ) you are deleted rather quickly

The only weak point for me is the AA suite. The bow armor can be overmatched, but if you stay at some distance, preferably on the flank, you'll present a small, uninviting target, and most enemies will prioritize someone else. I'd call that "psychological/tactical armor". Finally, her turret arrangement is great for pushing, as you don't have to compromise between where you're going and where you want all your guns pointing to, so you don't have to zig-zag.

I thought Huanghe was bad too! My first game ever in her I did 130K tho... Also I'm having a lot of fun in Genova. Hint: use AP

I have to disagree on the Hood. Since the buffs I find her to be one of the best BBs at T7. She's so tanky, has very good turret angles for firing all of your guns, and the quirks of the guns are very familiar to anyone who plays the Warspite.

I was surprised you didn't mention Dunkerque and specially Roma. I love those ships, but I understand why people avoid them like the plague

Gasgogne is not to bad but you know the Player plays with the ships not the ship with the player... Gasgogne got a nice Range too i think ya Vanguard is worst T8 but Gasgogne is way better than the Roma with only 18km lower speed and a big citadel?

Sideways: That’s What you think

Nice Video. Can agree on nearly all ships, but i have to say, that the Vanguard is kinda ok, with its decent AA, Stealth and short rudder shift time.

you forget Vanguard has 7.8sc rudder (+rudder mod) and decent speed, her conceal is good enough (12.6 km). also her turret is fast enough

While I might not agree with the agility comments Flamu made towards Vanguard (the cruiser-like handling with 7.6 rudder shift and FBB speed), it does have a punishingly large citadel. HOWEVER, with the extremely quick rudder and good throttle control, I’ve exposed my broadside to fire all turrets and have my BB angled again when incoming fire arrived to bounce and minimize the damage. Actually got complimented for the “tankiness” of Vanguard when kiting 3+ BBs and escorts.

Well bad ship just not about Citadel and Angle. What you expect the HMS Vanguard have armor like Germany? Japan? or even Russia? I also disagree with Flamu about Vanguard coz i have this ship and i love this ship even the armor really paper and citadel really high (well all of British BBs have paper armor and high citadel right now, in game)

Premiums to avoid : Hood, Huangmeh. Me this Christmas : "Let's buy some mega santa container !" Containers : I am gonna end this man whole career ! Me : get Hood + Huangmeh (+Exeter wich is not so bad)... My wallet is currently angry at me.

I also got Exeter form crates and boy oh boy do I think it sucks balls.

I love my Azuma ship over that shitty Alaska any day, remember that she is a battlecruiser, and historically they are cruiser killers and NEVER designed to fight battleship (like the Hood). When you play Azuma and spot cruisers, punch to the dead with AP, and battleship burn them to hell with HE while staying away from them far as possible

You didn't mention Le Terrible. Did you forget about it or is it actually usable? I can't seem to make it work in any of my games.

Flamu. Would you contend that the Krasny Krym would benefit from a reload buff. Say anything from a 5.5 to a 4.5 second reload as opposed to its current 8 something second reload? While it would not make the ship super competitive I would think that it would make it alot more fun to play.

Im wondering... what about Graf Spee? I mean sure get the Scharnhorst instead but still...kinda curious if you forgot her or if she is not THAT bad :D

Funny how the Zara(Gorizia) class cruisers are the most amoured cruisers in WW2, yet WG made them squishy as hell...

Got the Huanghe in a crate this week. It's definitely pretty bad and belongs on this list, but I'm not upset at all to have it. I've been really enjoying it, to the point it's quickly becoming a favorite just for being very tactical gameplay.

Got quite a few of these from containers in the past, they tend to mostly slowly rust away in some far of abandoned section of my port.

Personally, I strongly disagree that Hood suffers in tankiness when uptiered. In fact, when played properly, it's among the best tier 7 BBs to tank at higher tiers because so little of it is actual plating. There's a good deal of higher level armor everywhere and when angled, it can even mock Yamato shells. This is unlike most Tier 7 BBs with 26mm plating everywhere that takes pens like it's going out of style. Of course, showing broadside in this thing is asking for punishment. But I've gotten into one on one slugging matches with higher tier BBs and have come out ahead more often than not because when this thing is angled, it's pretty nigh invulnerable unless the other BB has great aim and always lands shells at the exact same small spot in the nose where it can hit the citadel behind it instead of just overpenning through the other side.

excellent video, for when the second part? :D

I liked the Hood... One of my favorite BB currently

The coffin joke was on point hhaha

Krasny Krym is the kind of cruiser you can do a lot of damage especially from citadels and torpedoes if you surprise an enemy cruiser or the enemy just isn’t paying attention. It requires a certain amount of time to get good at it. In my opinion it’s pre-revolution self, Svietlana, is better in the respect of you’re less likely to be fighting tier 6-7 ships with it but I have seen some of the WoWs streamers do very well with Krasny Krym so it can be useful. But it’s best not to waste your doubloons if you’re the tanking type or not going to put a lot of time into playing it.

Its really fun to park behind islands and loops shells on other ships, but if you get caught. Bye-o.

So here's a question Flamu. Just curious about your opinion. Would you rather get more of these types of premiums or more like the Smolensk?

I didn't have too much trouble tanking in the Vanguard. It's true that the citadel is big and the firing angles are bad, but the belt armor is very thick so even a shallow angle can protect your citadel at 10+ km. The guns are frustrating, though, the only thing they're good for is HE spamming and they're not even too good at that.

Huanghe is definitely a great ship if you play it like a big destroyer. It’s the kind of ship the special modules fits perfectly on. Especially Hydro and Smoke. Captain skills should be chosen wisely to make smoke radius even better. I cannot count how many T8 ships I killed with the Huanghe, ranging from DDs to BBs. One game I even had a perfect double kill with both sides torps in less than 2 minutes. Huanghe is an hidden gem. Sure it has drawbacks but it is a versatile ship.

Sad thing is, I have almost all of these ships. Thank you for these, Santa crates.

How did Yudachi not make the list? That thing is horrible.

Also got all of those ships out of santa crates what a coincidence

That's a nice thing to do for the players, Flamu. WG tricked them too many times and for too long. I'm glad there's someone like you telling the truth, pointing on what's rotten in this game. Cheers!

So, I have the third highest WR% (solo too) and PR EU in Yahagi (muh shipfu). It's pretty interesting, that statistically speaking Yahagi ranks I believe second or third among all tier V cruisers. I think despite her obvious drawbacks, she's pretty enticing for higher skilled players at this tier :)

Great review. What do you think about the IRIAN? This is the ship I got and some people say it is bad. I find it not too bad and unique in some way. Not a strong ship but somewhat interesting.

I got a Vanguard from a Super Container and I thought I could paint it red, but I couldn't find enough goats. So I scrapped it...

LMAO Got most of these in santa crates. you're right about most of them but I really enjoyed the Gorizia. You do get ignored by BB's a lot which lets you just peck away with SAP at their superstructure and it is absolutely death to DD's and most CA's. I regularly hit DD's that get spotted out to near max range. If i just had one more smoke charge i would even be more effective.

Only one man's opinion.

"Every single tier" ... waits for tier 10....

I will say, the P.E.F. can be fun as a scenario ship and can be kinda trolly with it's secondaries.

I wonder if Flamu has tried Duke of York since they change the Citadel and Heals on it?

I have all of the mentioned ships only buying the blyz when it first came out(excluding the neusty). The rest came in Santa Crates. At least their good for snowflakes and gold for future crate duplicates.

I loved the gascan with a meme secondary build... Until the Mass came out.

I am surprised that you didn't include Indomitable in the list, I've heard that most of the CCs say that is trash

KM Prinz Eitel Friedrich - The Best Secondaries and the Best AA on Tier VI HMS Hood - One of the most durable Battleships (well...it's technically a Battlecruiser but...) on Tier VII RM Gorizia - The best CA on Tier VII (I'M CHUNKING 10K+ DAMAGE ON FDG&GK FROM 20KM EACH SALVO+1-2 SALVOS ENDING DD'S)!!!

if i get a (premium) ship for free, be it trough a supercontainer or a mission, who am i to say no to complete my "collection"

Two things you forgot about the Gascogne -1.9 sigma, compared to 1.8 of Roma, Bismarck, etc. -40 second heal- this is the Massachusetts heal- against fires alone, you stand quite well. -as previously mentioned, the reload is alright Overall, I'd say it's okay as a ship There are people who like it

Some of those ships I do enjoy in fact. Vanguard - great maneuverability , turret rotation also good. It’s agile it doesn’t feel so heavy. Good AA too (conqueror level so T6 cv will suffer) and those AP blap cruisers instead of overpenning them like on Roma - which I thought you’ll be unrecommending even more than Vanguard. Gascogne needs reload buff or reload booster module with base reload nerf. I thought you’ll unrecommend the Poltava - surprised me with that. Viribus I got it from Christmas crate and I also was skeptical. But after playing it - oh man it’s not bad at all. Actually I can say it’s powerful being top tier against T4-5 MM. It suffers from CV heavily . But has really good dispersion and blapping power.

The duke of York and the prince of wales historically used double charge on each shot meaning that the 14” guns had the power and pen of 15/16” guns but with slightly lighter shells

I didn't think that the British used super charges on the 14 inchers. I thought that was only used on 15 inch coastal batteries. Wasn't the reason that the KGV's 14 inchers had better pen than the 15 inchers was that the 15 inchers were low velocity, pre-WW1 guns with outdated shells?

It's not that good but for the value , it's ok for about $10 us. Remember Flamu gets the ships for free. I got it to farm CP points.

Can you make an updated list for 2021 please?

A new one of 2021 would be nice. Lots have change in feeling. Like hood and vanguard are way better now and it tank decently. :) Btw what your tough on kii in 2021?

Hood does have insane AA though, just need to mention that. Also, huanghe is one of the least threatening ships I’ve ever seen.

Your dissing the all powerful the all-powerful Marblehead-Lima? I think I got this thing in a Christmas crate a couple of years ago. The only thing good about it was that it came with a 10-point captain which I could put on another ship.

Have to say, with experience the Huang He is one of the best cruisers in the game. If you are doing bad in it, you are playing it wrong. It's like a mini Belfast at tier 6, with epic concealment, torps and hydro. You can almost play it like a DD. The AA is also pretty good for tier.

Did you forgot about Roma or is it not as bad as people say? Because i'm about to buy it (purely on accounts of how cool it looks) and i'm rather worried about its performance.
