Wot players: first time?

Thunderer has no business having such good HE. You already have the super short reload, BATTLE FREAKING CRUISER dispersion on hyper accurate 457s, decent AA (though that doesn’t really matter), pretty good firing angles, an improved heal (albeit not a super heal but better than standard) and very good range stock. The fact that WG looked at this and figured it still needed HE that can do 20k+ alpha with 3 fires against an angled BB from 20km away blows my mind. Then again this is the same company that thinks CVs are healthy for the game so I wouldn’t put much past them at this point.

@rblinson8136

The heal that Thunderer has is what I call the Warspite heal. It's better than most, but it isn't the drydock heal. And I agree wholeheartedly. This ship is stupid broken AF. If they nerfed the HE and concealment it would STILL be a very good ship due to range, dispersion, and maneuvering. If they nerfed 3/5 of the things it would STILL be a good ship.

I specifically love the US cruiser HE because of it's very low chance to start fires, but still hit at average damage. it's fun, and requires me to maneuver in a way where i'm both effective and non-effective at the same time. Thunderer...? "Oh, let me just set a double fire on this DCP'd BB, and then switch to this DD in open water... and destroy it, then hit the closest cruiser, set a couple fires and do moderate damage. That BB is no longer on fire? well, here's more fire."

fool....don't you know WG always do the opposite?u should ask to make 200% fire chance and 300mm armor penetration since WG always do the opposite

It should be introduced a mechanic that at max range the probability of fire is for example 50% of the 63% (stock Thunderer) witch will be 31,5% fire chance. And proportionally increasing the fire chance til 100% at standard detectability range. So the further away is your target, the less HE fire chance will be. At the same time dead eye should be removed.

Reason you can't understand it is because you are thinking about its place in the game balance rather than its place in the games earnings. While the thunderer is free, it smolensk and FDR have all been reward ships that take grinding to work towards. They take time to get and by being so powerful encourage people to grind. That way people are more likely to buy premiums cause they are playing, premium time etc. Then they announce their removal. People get worked up and obsessively try to get them. This was smolensk a year ago and thunderer now, at this point you see peak population. But they can't stay overpowered forever. Because it they stay at this state then people won't want the next release. So they start say changing ifhe. Or the captain skills change and look smolensk doesnt have aft. Its all strategic to take them out while reworking other things. Having then taken them out there then goes a period of a ship just having been released that flies under the radar for a bit until it gets noticed as being so powerful. And so people grind again. Release of powerful easier to use ships is all strategic to encourage people to grind with FOMO

Love this bote! Just got it before being removed with coal and a little bit of steel. Definitely worth it.

To quote you from the cv vid. Potato: "I like it because I am good at it" I like thunderer AP but as a ship I like conq more due to the superheal which alows a more agressive gameplay with objectives.

It is a premium ship. It will never be directly nerfed. There are too many legal issues WG would have to deal with by nerfing it.

Seeing what this thing does, can u imagine whats gonna happen to the game when WeeGee adds in Italian BBs

got it when it 1st came out was a lota fun.not played for a while went to AW.will come back at some point.

I have HMS Thunderer. It took me quite a while to save up the quarter of a million coal to eventually get her. I don't actually play her that often as I feel kinda guilty melting any ship I like from 23 km away. I do actually switch shell type depending on target and opportunity but it is easy to sail slowly around spitting out hellfire from the other side of the map. The devastation a Thunderer can dish out is horrendous and it is a nasty experience to be on the receiving end of it. My favourite Royal Navy Battleship in my collection is HMS Vanguard and she's lovely. You actually have to use manouever, speed variation and her stealth to get the job done and she has the rudder and engine to do this which is great. Her 15in guns can dish out the hurt as well and I do actually prefer her , Bismarck, and the USS Georgia to the Thunderer as you have to vary your play and tactics from battle to battle but with HMS Thunderer.......not so much. HMS Thunder is beautiful and horrible at the same time. Beautiful because she's actually a very good ship, horrible because you know what you are doing to your opponent. Here comes the 'but'....... ........ but , Smolensk. ;-)

Your hatred for the Thunderer, I have the same for cv's. Another great review as always!!

I've been guilty of playing this ship often, and what you said is exactly why. It doesn't need too much brainpower. I do try to catch broadsides with the AP actively, but slinging HE across the match is a sure -fire go-to response if there's no target in sight. Most ships don't have the luxury of having ALL their salvos counted - except CVs and Thunderers. So your CV comment was spot-on as well!

I have dev-struck full HP broadside Minotaurs with HE in the Thunderer. Maybe you could do that with any BB... But that seems like an issue to me.

In my experience not that much actually. It was already accurate so deadeye doesn't really make it that much worse, and on SEA you see 4 of these things per side very regularly However, Yamato with deadeye can now chunk the 32 on this and conq a lot more reliably

I actually thought Thunderer would be a tier 10 Warspite and that’s why I got it. I was VERY disappointed to find that it wasn’t spectacular with AP. Because an accurate AP ship was right up my alley but now I guess it’s Yamato and Slava that’ll fill that role.

A good change would be to give the superstructure it's own hp separately from the hull's hp this way spamming superstructure or fires won't continuously take the whole ship's hp. This would be a change in the right direction. Once superstructure is destroyed it won't provide anymore dmg so that the hull armor actually matters.

that massachusetts it's like me all the games trying to grind my amalfi against tx

PQ: The HE is mainly due to being a Royal Navy ship. The HE is just their main thing of the nation: weak AP, highly penetrating HE with a larger chance of setting fires. Although the AP tears through armor at -15km too. The dispersion on the ship however is beyond belief. That and the concealment could be nerfed as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps the rudder shift too as that too is something insane for a ship of her size...

You can do the same with an Azuma, built on range and shot HE at all ships your guns are pointing at. Best targets: BB going backwards and when they are more than the 22.1km away you take the spotter plane and extent to 26.6km. With the improved engine module and the faster rudder shift you can dogde lots of shells that are coming from more than 20km away. I think it is OK in general to have such ships in the game but WG should redo their matchmaker to prevent things like having 3 Thunderer and HE spamming cruisers on the match or Team Green has no ships with radar and Team Red got 3 radar crusiers and a DD with radar.

Had a game yesterday with my Bismarck with 8 point captain. I pushed and wrecked the enemy team (130K), but I was burned down. I pushed because I saw our 3 full HP tier 7 BB's also push. After I died, those tier 7 BB's were 15 Km's away from the enemy team and running away...The were afraid, their Deadeye deactivated so they turned tail.

lol those big guns reload on 22 sec. and I agree on everthing mr potato said

My biggest issue with this ship is that this ship is in literally almost every single random match I play, since Thunderer was a ship available for coal and not steel, which meant literally everyone and their mother could get it and did. on top of the fact for some reason. Despite having the same number of guns and the same caliber of guns as the Ohio, a ship available for research points not coal, the Thunderer gets to reload 1.5 seconds faster than her, the Thunderer’s concealment is a whole 2.1km’s better than Ohio, and she gets broken HE to hard counter angled targets, as well as her very own dispersion table as if she even needs that to begin with. Majority of the community overshadowed this ship, calling it balanced, meanwhile calling Slava a broken ship despite her being uncharacteristically weak against even angled targets.

Hey, this is the first t10 bb im good at xd [and not rly cus the he, but cus it moves like a cruiser]

Your videos hit the nail of the head when comes to talking about cancerous, blatantly overpowered ships like the Thunderer. How this video can even have 94 dislikes is beyond me.

I share your pain and philosophy. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Fun be damned.

So fare pointi on that topic. Still make a video on Venezia, would like to see your point on her.

Forgot to mention how this shit yeets your AA, making you even more vulnerable to Carriers...

I personally don't think Thunderer is extremely overpowered. It's honestly not that different than the half dozen or so Cruisers which can HE spam you much harder than a Thunderer. Which make playing BBs harder because they can sit back and spam you with impunity.

The difference with thunderer though is that it has more range and deals more damage, great accuracy even at extreme ranges. I'm by no means a thunderer hater since it's my only battleship (as a DD main) but I just feel bad for enemy yamatos as they burn and eat 7-12k volleys and only do a couple thousand DMG to me as I angle to them.

5 seconds into this vid I already know I will agree with everything that is going to be said

This appears to apply at all the upper half of tiers. I was sitting in my spawn point in my Dunkerque spamming HE just like you were here and I was racking up a huge score with eight guns. I could have sat there the whole game and broke my own record but I decided to push in and actually do something interesting. 1 minute into my push and I was dead! I'm not sure what WG wants us to do. I hate sitting back and doing nothing but that seems to be the end result. Don't bother playing Cruisers or Destroyers, the spammers will blow you to bits from miles away!

Honestly the Thunderer should play like Vanguard ideally. Limited by gun range has a lower fire chance and good AP. That's how it SHOULD be.

WG had a meeting about how to improve the game and someone said, it is too easy to push in and CV are too weak so lets reward long range HE sniping and CV needs a big buff. And everyone agree. This is how WG want us to play the game.

Personal opinion, is that there are other ships that should be nerfed heavily before Thunderer. CVs and Smolensk

PQ: Go play Secondary Kurfurst. Also PQ: "If You're against the meta and push, You're an idiot".

Jean Bart, Burgorgne is the same. Even worse with their reload booster. With thunder, you have a chance to go invisible. But against JB,B, it will set you on fire before you go invisible.

The worst thing is, if it does push in it can absolutely erase ships close range with that AP

the yolo emilio tought he will be safe pushin without smoke...my he shells said no to torp launchers...3 perma incaps,i think he left cuz he was sailing in a straight line before he exploded

I'm glad you voiced your thoughts.. its such a shame the direction WG has gone. I really like the game but find myself sticking to lower tiers because of this bullshit. I have had a few games with a up to 4 thunderers on the enemy team and my tank bb build seems like a pile of shit with a thunderer camping in the area....

Thanks I bought the Thunderer lol !?

Nerfing premiums is a whole can of worms... I think WG won't go that way, because they tried it with Giulio Cesare and it didn't work out. That being said, your analysis is pretty well spot on. I think you're right too... people want this ship before it goes away, so they scrambling to get it. Plus... 0.10 with Dead Eye, makes this ship even more powerful.

Ya I quit playing random jump to rank you don’t see as many there at the moment

not true really, because it is the number one "i just play for MY star not the win"-pick. Have to say, that now that i am on my third gold-run, ranked has become a very rough experience as a dd player, because most team-setups will give you little to less cap-support and you end up with 2-4 players never crossing the B or I- line.

I actually see a lot of thunderers in ranked. They are not as scary in hands of potatoes without quality in their name, because they can't aim properly, but they break the gameplay by their presence. If I take monty or yamato I cannot go into spotting range even without dead eye. If I do, I die to fires.

-15k to 10k Dmg -Every well-aimed salvo comes with at least 2 fires (or RNGesus blesses you) -That shit happens every 22s -Ridiculous concealment -Tokio-Drift Rudder-shift (actually rhymes) -I don't really count its bad armor as a real weakness since everybody stays in the back of the map using its rudder-shift and being an annoying pain in the ass to hit. -Good enough AA to scare away CVs That is my point of view. In my opinion, it is either nerf the fire chance, the HE Alpha or its ROF. I don't need to be struck by a 20k Salve and burn 2x (at least) every 22s. Although with its reload you would have to nerf the HE really hard. And even it's AP would still be a problem for most of the ships facing it.

Embrace the bottom PQ, it doesn't feel great at first but once your used to it its very enjoyable ;)
