I love the line..."if you are in a cruiser and you aren't shooting at visible destroyers, then you are a menace to your own team." Perfectly said.

Cruisers are my favorite class. I seem to do my best playing in them. Great vid! And good info on the captain and inspirations.

To all Battleship players: do NOT use damage control to put out 1 fire.

Depends on the situation. Like if you're out of line of sight or are able to remove the threat and are in a position where you will not encounter anyone for a bit, then use your damage con.

Another great and informative video... it drives me nuts when I'm in my destroyer my team expects me to hunt and kill other destroyers... that's not my job, honey. Sure I'll kill 'em if I see 'em, but cruisers need to know their roll and stop farming damage off BBs and go kill the destroyers out there harassing our battleships.

As a cruiser player I do expect you (destroyers) to help hunt them. Most are able to find them easily using twist and track. But I don't necessarily expect you to engage them.

​@@catloveralways I'm not saying that I won't or wouldn't hunt and kill destroyers when it's prudent... I want to win just like everyone else. But when I have to come off defending a cap or I'm pulled off front line spotting because an enemy destroyer is harassing my battleships and a perfectly capable and in range cruiser is completely ignoring that destroyer I have an issue with where that cruiser captains head is... and it happens often enough for me to say something here.

Actually, it is your job to deal with other destroyers. The cruiser's primary job is to help you with that. You're going to run into them first. If your cruisers are paying attention, they should be getting guns on the enemy DD as soon as you spot it. You'll be doing likewise while trying to avoid damage, but it's a group effort. Cruisers and destroyers should be working hand in glove in this situation. Also, keep in mind that 8" gun cruisers aren't as effective in dealing with DDs as 6" gun cruisers--we won't get into Graf Spee and anti-DD work.

This thing was much better then I thought it would be. The AP was surprisingly good too.

when CoD players send angry messages over xbox live, with accusations of cheating after you one-shot their cruiser, i wish there was a way to forward them this video. terrific work

I remember one game: I was in a Omaha, coming at me was a Queen Elizabeth leading a Dallas. Between us was an island off my port bow. I took a few shots at the Dallas knowing that my guns wouldn't do much to the battleship. My plan was to break contact by going around the island and coming up behind the Queen Elizabeth for a torp run (as the Dallas would most likely have pulled ahead by the time). The Queen Elizabeth said "Nope" and one shot my ass. LMFAO😂🤣😂🤣😂

"HE Spam" - Laughs in Atlanta...

Great information. I used to suck at cruisers. It's now one of my best ships using this setup and strategy. Thanks a bunch! Although I do like the torpedoes for random hits. 👍

The Cruiser players on my teams haven't seen this video. Sure wish they'd watch it. Great info and required viewing for all Cruiser players!

Hey Tbull, great video! It was a pleasure playing along side you in ranked today. Looking forward to more content, cheers bud!

Man I'm glad I took the time watching your videos because coming from world of tanks I thought cruiser's we like the scouts for your team. Now I know to use the destroyer's for that and what to do in these. Thank you!

I go all offense and also do ok, even defensive commanders will not save you from a BB. I play cruisers almost exclusively because it is more challenging. Position and awareness is the only real defense for a CA. Tbull...always top notch advice man!

Great video. Next do one that teaches players how to make their ships go forward.

Thanks dude I love your videos im learning a lot of to do it in practice

Good video tbull, very well explained 👍

Very helpful info, thanks!

I'm a Cruiser Main since release!! A good Cruiser player gives you a high chance of winning and then there are Cruisers players like myself!! I'm not a Heavyweight Hunter for show, it's what my boats do!! I'll also add that if a really good Cruiser player escorts or trails a Battleship, that Batfleship aside from getting Dev struck had the potential for a 200k game!! Teamwork trumps everything though no matter how good or great you may be.. If the other team is a team and it's a bunch of Rambos on your team?? GOOD LUCK!! Enjoy your vids Bull!!

I started playing cruisers. I really like it, but it is muchhhhh more exhausting then playing for instance a Battleship. But your tips are very helpfull :)

The only Cruiser Commanders i use that are offensive minded are Scott and Kutneszov. And I'm becoming a fan of Vian as an inspiration.

Great video, thank you, you kept your promise 😉

Great cruiser master class and GG with the Algérie

Thanks a lot for the useful help

I use the same commander build for the DeGrasse and man is it a fun ship! Get the destroyers off the map and then harass battleships from behind cover. Classic!!

Excellent info.

I love sneaking around in a cruiser and destroying ships with my torpedoes. Plus my mains are bigger than a destroyer so wreak havoc on the enemy destroyers.

Sinop was buffing his dewey furiously 😂

Awesome videos.

Ive been switching roux and lemonier for the French cruisers there both very good.

I haven’t liked playing Cruisers. I now understand why.

Thankyou

Great video TB. I have gotten to be better with cruisers thanks to your videos, to where they have become my preferred class. The main thing wrong with cruisers is the people who play them, and then don't bother to learn how to use them

Great video, very informative. So is Mikawa better than the Polish captain? I have him at 11 and Mikawa at 7 currently. Thanks!

Swirsky is a secondary/general buff for concealment. Mikawa is better for cruiser specific play but personally I'd rather have Mikawa and Lemon for my cruisers as inspirations

Russell ah gotcha. So at level 16 Mikawa has better concealment than Swirsky. Makes sense. I haven’t used Lemon much but he seems like a good inspiration for my Japanese/French Cruisers. Currently running Atago with double concealment inspirations.

I just picked up the Atago about a week ago and its been real fun to play.. 750K but well worth it I think...

How to play a cruiser, don't get shot by anything shooting AP, and know your ammo types and when to use them.

I realize this is an old video now, but what do you think of how the channel VII Hipper plays cruiser with his agility builds?

Hi, what cruiser lines are the strongest? I have all ships at lvl 4 now but the destroyer lines. I find I like the US and the Russian Cruisers the most so far. Thoughts? I’m still fairly new as well

It has core principles applicable to the class as a whole. You can pick any class of any nation and point out how it deviates from the norm of the given class

I "love" how the BB-main players that complain about cruisers being op also love sharing videos about them destroying a full health cruiser in 1 salvo... battleships confirmed op, WG plz nerf xD

You just made an entire video confirming that Cruisers are cancer in this game. HE spamming and fires have broke this game 100% for battleships. It’s disgusting. As a primary BB player, this game has gone nothing but downhill for BBs.
