Smolensk is also one of the best DD killers in the game. They help the team tremendously. Once I kill the DDs, my team normally wins

This ship is just for me to "have fun on a rainy day" ship. Damn it's still so goddamn overpowered. I once got one shot out of my full health in this thing too. 3 citadels.

Agreed, that ship is a royal PITA and I love taking those bastards out. For sheer pettiness, I've started reporting all Smolensks (and Frieslands) for 'unsportsmanlike play'. I know it doesn't do anything, but it makes me smile every time I do it. 😋

HE spammers in general, and carriers in particular, make it a bit challenging. I still enjoy playing GK though, in those kind of battles, it often ends up being a matter of holding back. Smolensk or Worcester in range, hang back, do some ranged artillery work. Pounce when you can - I find most HE spammers tend to forget that it takes time to burn someone down. Even if I die at the 3 minute mark, if I can take one or two with me and inflict 100k, and open up a flank, I still count that as a success. I rarely survive battles in my GK. You know the scene from LOTR, where one orc carries a torch under the walls of Helm's Deep to breach the walls? That's my GK 🤣

It's an interesting question, actually. Smolensk can be quite deadly to destroyers, but are you actually doing your team more favours by playing support cruiser, or pure HE spammer? Personally, as a cruiser main, I'm always going after destroyers as part of my screening duty, so it's sort of built-in. But I was thinking about it, while the commentary was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, is racking up the damage on BBs maybe equally valuable...

When I play T10 battles I generally play a Shima, oh boy do I just love spotting a Smolensk for my team to just blast away at. Then it's time for me to sink some ships :D

I play it like some russian DD. It's fairly good at caping too.

Thank you so much! 🤗🤗 I know I was probably one of the most annoying commentators screaming after a reminder, but you made a great video there. A reminder and the pure sarkasm in it fits very good. it's clearly a ship you buy for egoistical gameplay. Sadly it still works too often. I guess we will see it in a bundle after new year again, like last year and then there will be a lot more of them around, even they cost like 100 bucks. 🤣🤣 But I have a different question. Would you say the incomparable is now one of the few really op ships as well? I mean I checked the stats compared to shikishima and the incomparable can't do much more dmg than this guy and I think the shikishima is NOT op.

Don't worry, I'm getting to everything eventually 🤣 I've still got a long list of notes. I was actually curious if it worked. I've played maybe 5 battles, and I'd say I've been focused heavily in at least 3 of them. I've been blind-deleted in smoke by I think a Missouri, and it's generally taken some work to survive long enough to do significant damage. That doesn't mean Smolensk isn't OP, but it's one of those ships that you need to let play - it's easy to focus her down, even a CV can do it without too much trouble. Can't say if it's a CC thing, but I'd say about half my games were decent. Personally, I'd probably rather play e.g. Worcester, or something that lets me take an aggressive play

Durchschnittlich bin ich zwar erst beim Schaden von 50.000 pro Runde aber das wird mit dem vollen Ausbau und etwas Übung deutlich nach oben gehen. Beste Runde lag bei 150.000 gefühlt schaffe ich im Schnitt momentan 70.000 pro Runde. Ich wünsche dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr und hoffe weiterhin immer wieder neue informative und toll aufgebaute Videos von dir zu sehen. Liebe Grüße
