The focus fire wasn't because you're a Gibraltar. Any British Cruiser tends to attract that kind of fire because you tend to just eat citadels at weird angles. Gibraltar is fat compared to Goliath, and that means more arming time.

Lets see some Druid gameplay

Looking at that fresh 0 ship exp, I knew you wasnt lying about never trying the ship before lol.

I suspect in that last game there was an element of the enemy team focusing the player and not the ship, ie they were shooting at PC, regardless of the ship you're in, rather than the correct ship, ie the Ohio next to you. However I do notice that it does seem to draw a bit more fire than other cruisers, but that is probably a hope for a Dev Strike on a UK cruiser. I quite like Gibraltar, but I do agree she's not a great ship. I play the UK CLs quite a lot so I'm comfortable with the AP-only smoke cruiser play, people who aren't used to the aiming for AP-Only cruisers will find it frustrating, but she can take absolutely enormous chunks out of anything. She'll nuke DDs (As that Halland discovered), she'll chew BBs to pieces and Cit cruisers into next week. She's something different, with it's own feel (Although Hampshire is similar) that's kind of the appeal, which is a hard sell when she costs so much RP. If you enjoy the UK Lights Cruisers or enjoyed Hampshire then Gibraltar can be fun, but I doubt if she's useful for competitive play such as Ranked or Clan Battles, Gibraltar does not do well in a static meta game, you need a ship with HE in those. Her lack of torps and the atrocious turret angles are the biggest flaws for me.

Please showcase Omaha! It is the face of all the tier 5 light cruisers, because of how comical it is, but in my experience it is very powerful when you know how to use it. It would also be nice to have a fresh look at the Omaha, because no new Omaha content has come out recently. (I also want to see how you play it.)

Those games when PQ is just another mere mortal :-) thanks for this

I think with the focus fire you were by far the most forward and a big threat to their DD.. also Cruisers go boom so they may have been hoping for a dev-strike to just take you out quick.

You should focus on shooting DD’s and light cruisers. You did 10k damage on halland and that normal for Gibraltar. It’s made for stabbing DD’s and light cruisers😊

Please consider Pensacola: - Slow turret traverse, showcasing more "how important is turret pre-turning". - Lowest tier with US heavy AP shell and magic bounce angle, 10 guns, heavy salvo showcase, turret sector angle is also good to use all guns (30°). - Tankiest T6 cruiser without heal, 25mm bounces 356mm BB and shatters most DD HE. If you find perfect match to showcase, tanking BB can be fun, against higher caliber though... though (less overpen and citadel through 25mm citadel deck). - And most importantly... secondary build memes! It only has 4 lobbing guns each side, but she got the most accurate cruiser secondary. Perhaps luckily finds scene where suprer low HP DD pops up from hydro and shortly after CQE achievement. Secondary build is not necessary.

I would like to see you cover the Sovetsky Soyuz and/or maybe the Leander.

Can we see a Henri IV maybe in the next one of this series?

due to the specialized fuse time and fuse threhold this ship will mostly do full pen on dd which makes it a dd deleter（ if u can hit tho）😢

Vampire vs Daring would be an interesting comparison, especially with the recent buff to Daring's legmod.

Can you do one for the München (tier 7 german premium cruiser)? I love that ship and think it is very underrated. Like a USN light cruiser with a bit less dpm but more comfortable to play (more range, amazing conceal, yolo torps, german HE pen, german hydro)

when i am in gibraltar i get focused very hard. i susually just try to support the dd in the beginning because i won't live long anyway. i sometimes got hunted to the edge of the map

Did you change your camera angle settings? There is a lot of ship and water in front of the ship in your default view. Surely that was not like that in your recent videos.

Does the targeting bug not affect cruisers?

I got this ship last month, and found it ridiculously fun and consistent. You have to know where to aim and it's not gameplay for the faint-hearted, but these days every cruiser attracts the same amount of attention. Don't use range mod and trade Concealment module for Steering Gears 2; pick an island, use it to juke your enemies around, and try and draw them in close.

2:38 Narrator: He would, in fact, not be surprised.

i wonder why spend 59k research point on this thing. It likely to explode since it has 9.5km firing penalty and not thing on the back. Sometimes I saw it in my team and exploded because it was citadel from the weirdest angle as possible. Italian cruiser can do the same but better looking and armor

I played the wukong 3 times before I realized it's a cruiser and not a bb. It worked fine till I figured it out.

Lets give us Gascogne another try pls

Right now I'm wondering what happens to Gibraltar once Monmouth comes out. While the two definitely don't overlap in terms of gimmick (Monmouth is more conventionally Goliath than Gibraltar) it raises a question of how distribution will work (especially since we haven't had a ship be pulled from the RB yet). Another thing is that TGG isn't that good on Gibraltar because the angles are so bad, so being close in is uh, not a good idea. Reload mod is still gonna be the better bet in that regard.

Honestly, I would like to see you try to do something with any of the tier V cruisers. I recently started playing the game and, oh my god, they are miserable. Especially the Omaha, you can't even hide behind most islands in that thing because of the terrible firing arcs of the guns on it. That and the whole thing is a giant citadel that can be penned from seemingly every angle.

@blazinbenji5571

Жыл бұрын

My good sir, I must respectfully disagree with you. The Omaha specifically, in my opinion is a very powerful cruiser. I have carried so many Ranked battles in this ship. The first item I want to talk about is the firing arcs. I do not understand how you have so much trouble using islands. Again, I say this, not with any negativity whatsoever, but for the sake of discussion and learning. I have done tens of thousands of damage in the first few minutes of the match using islands. In your case, try open water if islands don't work. I have also done so much damage in open water because the Omaha works so well at range, because the shell flight time is so good. Not only that, but it handles like a pro figure skater on ice. I have juked so many BBs at range, that while they were focusing me, (and missing) my teammates won the match. All in all, I find the Omaha to be the most powerful out of all the T5 cruisers. (I forgot to mention, it even has torpedoes!can you believe how many people actually let you get close enough to use them? Its amazing the number!) Oh and one more thing. I find that no armor is best armor. Because, while you can get completely blapped, in my experience, people don't know how to aim and they tend to just overpen. Thus allowing me to get close enough to use my torpedoes.

Try sticking it in open water, full speed, full rudder and just have a ball. You’ll last longer than you think and do some damage. The Omaha is as good as the captain. It’s either insta-killed or gangster. It has great range, armed to the teeth, fast, agile and plenty of torps if BBs get too close. I heard going bow in is it’s flaw.

I’d love to see a Roon video

Maybe you were focused because it was PotatoQuality CC playing. Might have been the player, not the ship that worried them.

The citadel is absolutely gigantic, no spaced armor like Goliath has and the smoke firing penalty is massive. Combined with the short range, makes it VERY hard to position properly where you have targets in range and not spotting you through your smoke. And like you noticed, absolutely terrible firing angles due to the quad barrel turrets. She is a bunch of gimmicks piled together which just don't work that well. She can be made to be effective, and her AP will absolutely destroy DDs. But I think for the amount of effort she takes to play, I would rather play Minotaur or Plymouth.

From experience, EVERYONE will focus you as a Gibraltar to the exclusion of everyone else... honestly you can sometimes use that to your advantage in a lot of situations... But even so, it's a pretty miserable ship to play.

Nice to watch another game from you, thank you. Im sorry but the Gibraltar just isn't worth the RP. If it had HE it would be a better ship but still not great. It kind of lacks in almost every category but really isn't outstanding at anything. I think I would rather have a Tier IX Drake and have the HE along with Hydro, Torps, better Heal and a Spotting Plane. The smoke is good but not good enough to actually benefit from.

Stalingrad

Honestly from what I saw of the video, I don't think the Gibraltar does anything special better than a Venezia or Hindenburg, I'm comparing with these two because it seems to be focused on those big alpha salvoes and slow reload. The smoke is imo kinda useless since you have heavy cruiser guns so the smoke firing penalty is really bad, making using the smoke situational at best. No armor and no super heal makes it inherently inferior to both Hindy and Venezia too, so I dunno, for a research ship it seems extremely underwhelming!

Wants more battle impact: switches to range mod

Lol, this ship's name sounds pharmaceutical.

Outnumbered is real nice on ships like Napoli, Petro, Carnot, where you are strong enough to hold an outnumbered flank, and need a touch more accuracy to really punish ships. The speed boost helps you dodge, and when you're up against BBs with long reloads, you can really do a number on them.
